Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 278 Undercurrent

"search!"

Qing Ming pondered for a moment and then directly ordered his four teams of ninjas to search the surrounding dense forest.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Hinata Feika's eyes, but that he wasn't willing to do anything without a search.

However, after a full quarter of an hour, nothing was found.

During this period, the next three teams also rushed over. After hearing Qing Ming's narrative, they also joined the search team.

Unfortunately, no problem was found either.

Helpless, everyone could only move on.

However, everyone was in high spirits.

And just after everyone left for a while, several figures appeared on the scene. They were wearing black robes and masks, and they looked like Konoha Anbu.

However, when the leader lifted his mask, what was revealed was Ryoma Aburame.

Obviously, they are not ANBU ninjas, but root ninjas under Danzo.

Aburame Ryoma came under a tree, turned her palms, and strands of chakra spread out.

After a while, several bugs smaller than sesame seeds emerged from the soil, crawled into his hands, and began to devour the chakra.

Clearly, these bugs are no ordinary bugs.

It is a parasitic insect unique to the Aburame clan, and it is also a specially cultivated and mutated parasitic insect.

Compared with ordinary parasites, their breath is weaker.

It is precisely because of this that he can avoid the detection of Qing Ming and others.

That's right, the prying eyes that Qing Ming felt came from these bugs.

Of course, it was not these bugs that were looking at him, but Aburame Ryoma, with the help of secret techniques, using these bugs as a medium to observe him.

Unfortunately, these bugs were too small, with almost no chakra in their bodies. Coupled with the unique aura shielding, they escaped his reverse tracking.

However, his fierce reaction also made Ryoma Aburame to avoid getting too close.

But giving up is impossible.

Unless Danzo speaks, there is no possibility for the root ninja to give up on the mission.

They have been trained to 'eliminate themselves' and are the real mission tools.

No matter how bad the situation they face, they will do their best to complete the task, even if they give up their lives for it.

Of course, Aburame Ryoma is special. As Danzo's right-hand man, he has greater autonomy and can make some judgments on his own.

According to Aburame Ryoma's judgment, although Qingming noticed some abnormalities, he did not notice his existence.

And this time the mission did not require him to do it himself, so he decided to continue the mission.

That's right, Aburame Ryoma will not take action in this mission, and even all root ninjas will not take the initiative.

This is Danzo's order!

Since learning about the latest achievements of Qingming and Uchiha Shisui, Danzo has given up the option of killing them directly with his ninjas.

This is not because Danzo sympathizes with the lives of these people, but if he does it himself, it is easy to alert the enemy.

Therefore, during the insurance period, he planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

As for which knife to borrow?

This has brought him to the Kirigakure battlefield. Which sword can he borrow? It is naturally the power of Kirigakure.

After taking these parasites into his body, Aburame Ryoma said directly: "Xiao, immediately send a message to Faceless, saying that the target has entered the territory of the Fire Country, and let him prepare for action."

"yes!"

Hearing this, a root ninja from behind responded. His voice was originally hoarse, but now that it was transmitted through the mask, it seemed even more penetrating.

However, the other root ninjas did not react at all when they heard his voice. They were like cold machines, completely unaffected by external things.

After the root ninja responded, he raised his right hand and put his thumb into his mouth.

The next moment, blood flowed out.

Immediately afterwards, he flew his hands and quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei' and performed the 'Psychic Technique'.

As the psychic technique unfolded, a huge night owl appeared on the scene.

Then, the root ninja took out a pen and paper from his arms, quickly wrote down the information, then stuffed it into the mouth of the night owl, causing it to fly into the sky.

After finishing this, Xiao Xiao nodded to Aburame Ryoma. Aburame Ryoma looked away and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and chased in the direction where Qing Ming and others left.

Several other root ninjas saw this and immediately followed.

······

In a flash, time came to the fourth day.

night.

Qing Ming was sitting cross-legged on a branch of a tree and was practicing. Suddenly he frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

At the same time, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Just now, he felt the peeping gaze again. Although it was very faint and fleeting, he was still caught.

Even, not just today, but in the past few days, he would notice it almost two to three times every day. Although the sense of prying eyes was not as strong as the first time, it was still there.

At first, he would ask people to conduct vigilant searches, but as the number of times increased, he stopped caring.

Qing Ming sometimes wondered if this was a strategy of the enemy, deliberately using this method to paralyze him and then consume his energy.

If this is really the case, then he must let the other party know what will happen if he offends him.

Also, today is already the fourth day.

If the enemy is ready to take action before they arrive on the battlefield, tonight is the best opportunity.

Because they will arrive at their destination tomorrow afternoon, and after noon, they will basically enter Konoha's defense zone.

In this case, it will be more difficult to take action.

So, he doesn't plan to sleep tonight.

Anyway, with his current 19-point "spiritual" attribute, not sleeping for a day is nothing.

Just as he was thinking about it, a subtle sound of footsteps came. Qingming looked in the direction of the sound and saw Uchiha Shisui coming under the tree.

Then, he saw him using a "flash body technique" and came in front of him.

"Is there something?"

Qingming looked at the other party and asked directly.

Since the two of them had communicated once before departure, they had hardly spoken again. Now the other party suddenly came, there must be something.

As expected, he said with a serious look: "Qingming, I also noticed the prying eyes you mentioned today."

"Oh, did you notice it too?"

"Yes!"

Uchiha Shisui nodded and continued: "I have asked others, and it seems that only the two of us have noticed it. If it weren't for the poor perception of others, then..."

"Then we are being targeted."

Qingming continued his words.

As for the perception of others.

Qingming doesn't believe that all of them are not as good as them. He is not a special perception ninja, and he has not practiced any perception ninjutsu.

Although his mental power is strong because of the Sharingan, it is at the stage of instinctive application. Compared with perception-type ninjas, it is not much stronger.

With that kind of strong peeping, a perception ninja can definitely find it.

There are two special jonins from the Yamanaka clan in the team, but they didn't find anything.

It is obvious that the enemy's target of the peeping is them.
