Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes.

It can be seen that there are about twenty people around him, squatting or standing.

They either close their eyes like he just did, accumulating strength for the next battle.

Or chewing the ration pills to replenish the excessive chakra consumed in the body.

Or wiping the ninja tools in their hands, trying to have a better chance of winning in the next battle.

In short, everyone is silent.

Until he opened his eyes and stood up.

Suddenly, everyone cast their eyes over.

Qingming's eyes swept over their faces one by one, and finally fell on the three unconscious people.

These three people were wrapped in bandages, and even though they had just been cured by Qingming's lv8 "Palm Immortal Technique" not long ago, they still looked half dead.

There is no doubt that these three people are seriously injured.

It was also their good luck that they caught up with Terumi Mei and others who were in a hurry to retreat, which saved their lives. Otherwise, they might have died at the casual finishing blow of a Mist Ninja.

But in this state, they will definitely not be able to participate in the next battle.

And Qingming can't leave anyone here to protect them.

So, it all depends on their luck.

If they encounter the support troops of the Mist Ninja or any other danger after they leave, they can only wait for death.

As for taking them with them,

Please, they are going to fight, not to eat and sleep. It is more dangerous to take them with you.

"I wish them good luck!"

After lowering his head and mumbling, Qingming no longer paid attention to the three people, but turned to look at the others, and said seriously: "Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"Very good!"

Hearing this, Qingming nodded and ordered: "Let's go!"

"Yes, Captain!"

More than a dozen people replied again.

Qingming said no more, rushed out of the sentry tower, then stepped on the sea water, and took the lead in the direction of the forward base, running quickly.

Behind him, a group of Konoha ninjas watched his back and followed him, jumping out of the sentry tower, stepping on the water, and following him closely.

Soon, there were only three seriously injured and unconscious Konoha ninjas left in the sentry tower, and there were more than a dozen figures running on the sea outside.

······

On the other side.

The Land of Waves.

The forward base.

The ninjas belonging to Konoha and the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village were fighting, and the scene was quite chaotic. There were more than 400 ninjas on both sides, and the damage caused could be imagined.

Not to mention a mere forward base, even the area within a radius of two or three kilometers has basically become a battlefield, with fighting and screams everywhere.

At first, Konoha could still take advantage of the terrain and advance preparations to gain some advantages.

But as time went on, the advantages gradually disappeared and became a balance.

By now, it has basically fallen into a disadvantage.

The reason for this is very simple. After a long period of silence, the Hidden Mist Village launched a surprise attack that was determined to win, and all the troops were sent out.

Therefore, they managed to turn the disadvantage around despite being slightly outnumbered and playing away.

Fortunately, the No. 3 sentry tower discovered the enemy's movements in advance, allowing the forward base to be prepared.

If the enemy really sneaked into the vicinity without anyone noticing and caught them off guard, the situation would probably be even worse.

In a more serious situation, it is possible to collapse instantly.

However, despite this, the forward base cannot hold on for too long. It just hasn't reached the critical point yet.

Once the critical point is broken, the damage to Konoha will rise sharply.

By then, everything will be too late.

······

Deep in the base.

The Uchiha senior ninja in charge of the command frowned as he watched the battle reports coming from the front line.

After a moment, he looked at a Chunin who was in charge of delivering messages and said, "Where is the assault force at the No. 3 sentry tower?"

"Report to the captain, the Kanda Jonin at the No. 3 sent a message not long ago, saying that they have set off."

Speaking of this, the Chunin paused and said hesitantly, "But."

"Hmm?"

Seeing his hesitation, the Uchiha Jonin raised his eyebrows and said directly, "Just say it if you have anything to say?"

"Yes, Captain!"

The Konoha Chunin was immediately shocked when he heard this.

Then, he said directly, "Captain, the No. 3 sentry tower was attacked not long ago, and now there are less than 20 people left in the team, and everyone in the team is injured.

In this case, even if we support them in time and complete the mission perfectly, I am afraid it may not play a big role."

He said this euphemistically enough.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that it was useless.

However, upon hearing his words, the Uchiha jonin laughed and said, "If it were anyone else, it would definitely not have much effect, but Uchiha Qingming is different."

"Ghost Sword Qingming?"

The Konoha Chunin hesitated.

"Yes, it's him!"

The Uchiha jonin replied affirmatively.

Others may not understand Qingming's strength and think that the Uchiha clan's propaganda about his achievements is exaggerated.

But the Uchiha jonin understands that the facts are much more exaggerated than what they promote.

For example, in the ambush battle led by the three ninja swordsmen, Qingming basically did not suffer too serious injuries after the battle.

Even afterwards, there was still enough energy to treat others.

All of this shows that Qingming has not tried his best.

And according to his past performance, if he tried his best, his combat power might be able to be improved to a higher level.

So, even though there are only less than 20 people left in the No. 3 sentry tower, this Uchiha jonin still has extremely high expectations for them.

Or rather, he has extremely high expectations for Qingming.

As for the others.

To be honest, the Uchiha jonin doesn't care much.

He just hopes that Qingming will arrive as soon as possible.

Now, on the entire battlefield, they lack a person who can calm the situation.

Once Qingming arrives, he will immediately become the focus, boost his own morale, and interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

The Uchiha jonin firmly believes that the genius of their Uchiha clan can do this.

At this time, Qingming didn't know that he had been placed with high hopes.

Now, he is on his way.

And those who arrived before him were Mei Terumi and others.

After she reported the situation to the leader, the Mist Ninja, she immediately received a new order, asking her to take a part of the troops to continue to block Qingming who might come.

However, Qingming had long known that the other party had fled to the main battlefield, and his information would inevitably be leaked.

In this case, how could he not be on guard against this?

Therefore, after he approached the forward base for five kilometers, he led the team to another direction, which was exactly the route he had sneaked from the forward base to the reef sentry tower before.

In this way, he just avoided the blockade of Mei Terumi.
