Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Seeing that Qingming and Uchiha Shisui's attention were attracted by the huge firework, Xue Wuhua did not hesitate and immediately burst out all his chakra, and the whole person's speed increased, rushing towards the coastline.

"Huh?"

Seeing his reaction, Qingming immediately understood the meaning of the firework, but he had no intention of chasing.

There was no other reason. His original goal was to test the effect of the "Instant Sword Technique" that had been promoted to the perfect state, and to harvest some chakra by the way. Meeting the other party was just a coincidence.

Now, his first goal has been achieved.

Although the fight just now was short, Xue Wuhua's strength was strong enough for him to get the result.

Therefore, there was no need to hold on to the other party.

Now, completing the second goal is the top priority.

It happened that the Kirigakure side had already sent out a signal to retreat. As long as he was ready to intercept, there would be no worries about not being able to harvest chakra.

With this thought, Qingming did not hesitate at all, immediately raised his hand to seal, and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wings of Wind, and flew high into the sky.

Before leaving, he said to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, I'll leave him to you. I'll go take a look at other places."

After that, without waiting for Uchiha Shisui to answer, he flapped his wings and disappeared from the spot.

Looking at his back as he left in a chic manner, Uchiha Shisui showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

However, this envy was quickly thrown behind his mind.

Now, he still has business to do and no time to think about it.

Uchiha Shisui looked in the direction where Xue Wuhua left, and jumped up to catch up.

Admittedly, the other party planned to evacuate, which would not affect the subsequent battle situation, but if possible, Uchiha Shisui still wanted to keep the other party.

Because only in this way, they can have fewer people die in the next battle.

······

On the other side.

Ignoring the possible battle between the two, Qingming flew high into the sky and immediately activated the three-magatama Sharingan with all his strength, using the weak light around him to observe the actions of the Mist Ninja below.

It can be seen that as the firework rose, the ninjas of the Kirigakure side on the battlefield became obviously a little anxious.

One by one, they were trying to leave the battle, and then either alone or in a team, they all ran towards the sea.

This also verified Qingming's guess again-Kirigakure was going to withdraw.

After confirming this, Qingming gathered his mind and began to carefully select the target to attack.

The battlefield below was big and small.

During the battle, the area of ​​several kilometers in radius, no matter how they moved, they could not leave this range for a while.

However, when escaping, with the ninja's footwork, with full force, only a few minutes were enough for them to escape from this battlefield.

This time was very short.

In addition, these Kirigakure ninjas fled in a scattered manner.

Therefore, he only had one or two opportunities to attack.

In this case, if you want to get as much chakra as possible, you must find the right target to attack.

First of all, the team of the senior ninja must not be intercepted.

Even the weakest jonin, if they try their best, can have some impact on him, and it is a complete waste of time to attack them.

Secondly, unless the genin gather in large numbers, there is no need to attack them.

Because they have too little chakra, it is completely not worth the loss to attack them.

Moreover, more than two hours have passed, and there are not many surviving genin, and it is unlikely that they will gather in large numbers.

So, they can be directly excluded.

Finally, there are the lone chunin.

These chunin either have some special abilities or are really unlucky.

The former will affect his efficiency.

The latter can only provide him with a small amount of chakra.

Either way, it is not what he wants to see.

So, they can also be abandoned.

In this way, the most suitable for him to attack are undoubtedly those teams composed of a small number of chunin.

Only by attacking them can the cost-effectiveness be the highest.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming immediately looked for suitable targets according to the final criteria.

······

Under the night.

Qingming flew silently above everyone's head like a ghost, carefully looking for the corresponding target.

With his scarlet Sharingan staring down, Qingming quickly locked onto a team.

This was a Mist Ninja team consisting of three Chunin. At this time, they were running fast in the forest and were discovered by Qingming.

Without any hesitation, Qingming dived directly and approached them from behind.

Below.

Iwasaki Shoichi was running fast with two companions.

Suddenly, a shadow enveloped him.

Instinctively, he looked up.

Then, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes.

"What is this?"

Iwasaki Shoichi's heart trembled, as if he thought of something, and immediately wanted to shout out.

However, before he could make a sound, his consciousness was pulled into the illusion.

Then, the whole person stopped running and fell to the ground.

"Shoichi?"

The other two Mist Ninja Chunin saw this and hurriedly stopped and looked back.

However, before they could see what happened to Iwasaki Shoichi, another figure appeared in their field of vision. Who else could it be but Qingming?

The two of them reacted very quickly and immediately recognized Qingming's identity.

Suddenly, the two of them secretly said that they were going to leave Iwasaki Shoichi and run away on their own.

However, they finally turned around. The moment the three of them looked at each other, Qingming once again used the 'Illusion: Sharingan' to control one of them.

As for the other person.

Qing Ming released the 'Wind Escape·Wind Wings' and landed on his feet.

The next moment, he pulled out the long knife from his waist, then performed the 'Snap Sword Technique', and ducked behind him.

Phew~

The long knife was swung out.

Qing Ming was about to chop at the back of the opponent's neck.

Sensing the danger, the Kirigakure chuunin immediately jumped forward to avoid the attack, then rolled his body and hid aside.

At this time, he had also adjusted his position and faced Qing Ming.

‘Since we can’t escape, we can only fight to the death! ’

Isamu Harada thought so in his mind.

However, when he looked up to look for Qing Ming's figure, he saw nothing.

"Where are you going?"

Isamu Harada was confused and glanced around nervously.

At this moment, a sound of the air being torn suddenly came from the side.

In the peripheral vision, a cold light flashed.

Harada Isamu secretly said something bad and immediately wanted to dodge sideways.

However, it was too late.

He heard a "stab" sound, and Qing Ming's long knife slashed his left arm.

The next moment, his arm fell to the ground.

Not only that, there was also a wound on his waist that was so deep that the bone was visible.

A large amount of blood gushed out, and the Kirigakure chuunin fell to the ground wailing, looking like he was about to die.

Qing Ming's expression did not change at all, and he immediately used a 'magic shackle technique' to control the opponent and prevent him from moving.

At this point, all three Kirigakure chuunin were subdued by him. Excluding the time spent searching, the whole process did not take more than a few seconds.

Although this was due to his sneak attack, it was undeniable that the role of the 'Instant Sword Technique' should not be underestimated.

Just like dealing with the last Kirigakure chuunin, if it were in the past, he might have to put in a little more effort, but now

It can be killed easily!

It can be said that the perfection of the 'Snap Sword Technique' has once again raised the lower limit of his melee combat ability. It may not be obvious against jounin, but it is extremely conspicuous against these genin.
