Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 264: A tragic victory and orders

"Withdraw~~~"

Hearing Kurokawa Ichiro's shrill cry before his death, the Iwagakure genin in the field were stunned for a moment, and then began to retreat together.

Seeing this scene, the surviving Konoha ninjas used their methods to either block or pursue them.

For a time, the entire battlefield was even more lively than before.

However, because the initiative lies with Konoha, overall, the Iwa ninja is more embarrassed and suffers more casualties.

In this last wave alone, at least thirty or forty Iwagakure were killed, and in the end, the number of people who escaped pursuit and returned to the Iwagakure base camp alive would never exceed a hundred.

In other words, in this raid, the Iwa ninja not only lost all their jounin, but their team was also reduced by more than two-thirds.

Such a loss is not small.

However, Konoha's side also suffered a lot of losses. Of the one hundred and fifty ninjas, it is estimated that no more than fifty of them survived.

This was the result of Qingming's previous killing of many genin in Iwagakure. If he hadn't killed dozens of people in the first place, Konoha's losses would have been even greater.

After all, this time the Iwa nin came to destroy the Kotani village stronghold, and they were quite well prepared. It was almost a miracle that so many people in Konoha survived in the end, and they even won the battle.

No, it is not accurate to say that it was a miracle. It should be said that it all relied on Qing Ming's 'extraordinary' performance.

Without him to destroy the opponent's Jonin team, no matter how hard Konoha struggled, it would only end in failure, and there was no other possibility.

Although it is a tragic victory now, it is better than being wiped out, right?

Because of this, after the battle, all the Konoha ninjas, whether they were jounin, chuunin, or genin, looked at Qingming with eyes full of awe and gratitude.

Awe, because of his strength.

Grateful because he saved everyone with this strength.

However, Qing Ming did not pay attention to the gratitude and awe of these people. All he did was to obey his own wishes.

If someone pissed him off one day, he wouldn't mind killing the other person. As for the other person's identity, he wouldn't care at all.

A mere Konoha Hidden Village could not restrain him by reason.

Moreover, as his strength continues to improve, this restraint will become weaker and weaker.

Again, his goal is the stars and the sea.

ninja world

In his eyes, it was just a small place after all, and the ninja civilization could develop only because aliens planted a tree.

Qing Ming sat on the roof, looking up at the stars in the sky, her thoughts gradually drifting into the distance.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a figure appeared next to him.

The person who came was none other than one of the dozens of Konoha ninjas who survived during the day, and he was also a special jounin.

He came to Qing Ming's side and saw him looking up at the night sky. He didn't make any noise and just stood aside quietly.

After a long time, when Qing Ming came to his senses, he stepped forward and said: "Captain, this is today's battle report."

With that said, he handed a document to Qing Ming.

Qing Ming took the document and scanned it roughly. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name.

Afterwards, he handed the document back to the Konoha jounin in front of him and said: "There is no problem, just report it like this."

"Yes, Captain!"

The Konoha jounin responded and planned to leave.

At this moment, Qing Ming suddenly stopped him.

"etc!"

The Konoha jounin stopped and turned around: "Captain, is there anything else?"

Qing meditated for a while and said directly: "When you hand in the combat report, tell them that the Xiaotani Village stronghold can no longer be defended and hope to evacuate immediately."

Hearing this, the Konoha Jonin's expression froze, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Captain, do you really want to say that?"

"Um."

Qing Ming nodded and said, "Just say it was me who said it."

Hearing this, the Konoha jounin was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, captain!"

After saying this, he used the 'Blinking Body Technique' and left.

Of course Qingming knew that if he said this, he would definitely lower the evaluation of him by Konoha senior officials, but...

Not to mention that he doesn't care about this at all, it doesn't matter no matter how low the evaluation is, just because of his status as an Uchiha clan, it is destined that he will not develop well under this current Konoha leadership.

In this case, it's better to do whatever you want.

Qing Ming didn't want to end up defending the Xiaotani Village stronghold alone.

Well.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's what it means.

It would be bad if those guys saw his outstanding strength and squeezed him to death.

Although this may make his 'swordsmanship' improve quickly, it is nothing compared to the time and energy he wastes.

Therefore, it is better to say ugly things first.

I think the other party will understand what he means when they hear his words.

······

In a flash, time came to the next day.

Qingming received a reply, or order, from Omura Yuito. The other party hoped that he could stick to it for another week.

The letter vaguely mentioned that Fengliu Town seemed to be preparing an action and it would take some time.

For this reason, Omura Yuito sent another hundred ninjas to support him.

Qing meditated for a while and felt that after the Iwa ninja suffered this tragic defeat, he would not attack again in a short period of time.

After all, jounin is not a leek. Once you cut one stubble, there will be another stubble.

It's just a special jounin with only one skill. With so many chuunin, some outstanding talents can always be selected.

However, a fully developed jounin is not so easy to replenish.

And with the strength he has shown so far, if Iwagakure Village wants to capture the Kotani Village stronghold, in addition to using the lives of a large number of middle and lower-level ninjas, the only way is to mobilize more jounin.

In the former, Qing Ming can also apply for support.

Eventually, a small conflict could turn into a large-scale battle, which was at odds with Iwagakure's overall strategic decision to disperse and attack the outlying strongholds of Fengliu Town.

Therefore, there is a high probability that it will not be adopted.

Then, all that is left is soldiers versus soldiers versus generals.

To deal with Qingming, at least four more Iwagakure jounin must be mobilized, plus other Konoha jounin in Otani Village. In order for Iwagakure Village to capture this place, at least seven or eight jonin must be mobilized.

With so many jounin, it would be impossible to gather them together in a short time.

It would be impossible to put it all together for at least a week.

In this way, sticking to the mission for a week will not be so dangerous.

Therefore, Qing Ming decided to accept the task.

Of course, if Iwa Ninja shows any abnormality during this week, for example, if he wants to kill him at all costs, Qingming will not stick to it.

Compared to his life, a small valley village stronghold was nothing, even if he was criticized for it, it was nothing.

However, what made him curious was what exactly was the action prepared by Fengliu Town?

"Could it be another beheading operation?"

Qing Ming whispered.
