Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Seeing his companions being killed, the Root Ninja who had just dodged the shark missile ran away without any hesitation.

This was not because he was timid, or what?

For the Root Ninja who had undergone the "self-annihilation" training, there was no such concept as timidity in his heart.

The reason why he wanted to escape was just to bring back the information here.

Unfortunately, his movements were fast, but not as fast as Qingming.

Almost at the moment he moved, Qingming performed the "Instant Sword Technique", surpassed the opponent, and blocked him.

Looking at Qingming who suddenly appeared in front of him, the Root Ninja did not hesitate at all, and immediately swung the kunai in his hand, trying to cut his throat.

This attack was so fast and urgent that ordinary ninjas might not be able to react.

But Qingming was different. With the Sharingan, he easily captured the opponent's movements, and then raised his head slightly and avoided it.

Seeing this, the Root Ninja immediately jumped back several times and pulled away.

At the same time, several kunai were thrown out in succession, shooting at different parts of Qingming's body.

In an instant, Qingming pushed the three-magatama Sharingan to the limit.

Then, the kunai shot towards him like slow motion.

Qingming calmly dodged two of them and was about to continue dodging.

At this moment, he suddenly found that there were some imperceptible steel wires tied behind these kunai.

The surface of these steel wires has been specially treated, and there is no reflection even under the sun.

Not only that, after careful observation, he also found that these steel wires seemed to be quenched with poison, and faintly exuded a special smell.

Such a trap, if he did not have the Sharingan and amazing insight, I am afraid he would not find any clues for a while.

If so, he would be in big trouble.

Without him, these steel wires have formed a huge net under the influence of these kunai in the field. If he really plunged into it, his speed would inevitably be affected.

At that time, no matter how fast his "Instant Sword Technique" is, it will only be "a fish in a net, a bird in a cage", and he will not be able to escape.

"Tsk tsk, it's really insidious!"

Qingming muttered to himself and began to think about countermeasures.

Logically speaking, since he has discovered the problem, he should dodge in advance.

However, Qingming didn't want to do that.

He quickly glanced around and confirmed that there was no one around, then he plunged in without hesitation.

This time, even the Root Ninja was stunned.

He set up such a trap, and he didn't think that Qingming would fall into it. After all, he had the Sharingan and could probably see through his arrangement.

The reason he did this was just to buy some time to escape.

He never thought that Qingming would get in like a fool.

"Is there something fishy about this?"

The Root Ninja was suspicious.

However, the opportunity cannot be missed.

Almost instinctively, he responded at the first time.

He waved his hands and pulled the steel wire in his hands, causing the poison net in front to shrink by half.

The gap in it no longer allowed normal humans to pass through.

In other words, Qingming was completely trapped in it.

Next, unless he forcibly stretched the wire mesh, he could not escape at all.

And this time was enough for the root ninja to complete the final blow.

He suddenly thrust two kunai into the ground, and the source of the steel wires was fixed by him.

Then, he raised his hands, quickly completed the seal, and then opened his mouth to perform some powerful fire escape ninjutsu.

In an instant, a flame spurted out of his mouth, instantly covering the area where the wire mesh was located, engulfing Qingming in it.     One second, two seconds

However, after a few breaths, there was still no movement, as if there was no one!

Suddenly, an ominous premonition emerged in my heart.

The root ninja stopped the spell immediately without any hesitation.

The next moment, the flame disappeared, and the wire mesh was empty.

Seeing this scene, the root ninja's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned around and planned to escape.

However, at the moment he turned around, a pair of strange eyes that looked like black suns came into his eyes.

Then, an irresistible strong mental force pulled him into the illusion.

During this period, the root ninja also wanted to break free.

Unfortunately, under the "Illusion Sharingan" activated by the Mangekyō Sharingan, he had no room for resistance at all.

That's right, it was the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Just now, when Qingming realized the existence of the poison net, he had two choices, one was to retreat actively, and the other was to take advantage of the situation.

In the end, he chose the latter.

Indeed, he was reluctant to use the Mangekyō Sharingan in front of others, because it would increase his risk of exposure.

However, when it was time to use it, he would not leave it unused.

Just like just now, if he chose to retreat, he would be able to take down this Root Ninja in the end, but it would undoubtedly take more time.

And as time goes on, it is inevitable that there will be complications.

He did not forget that there is an underground base on the island under his feet. Who knows how many ninjas are there?

Qingming did not want to gamble, nor did he want to waste this time, so he chose to use the opponent's trick to lure the other party to stop and attack him.

Then, he took the opportunity to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, activated the ability of ‘Heavenly Guardian’, passed through the poison net and flames, and came behind the Root Ninja.

When he found out that something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was too late.

With just one ‘Genjutsu Sharingan’, he controlled the other party.

Looking at the Root Ninja in front of him, Qingming did not waste time and immediately guided him to reveal his memory in the illusion.

And Qingming looked for the information he wanted from it.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About seven or eight minutes later, Qingming stopped guiding.

Opening his eyes again, Qingming glanced at the headless corpse in the distance and the figure in front of him who was still immersed in the illusion, and muttered: "It's related to Danzo."

Before, when he guessed the identities of these two people, he estimated that the experiments in this secret base were inseparable from Danzo.

Now, it is confirmed.

From the memory of this Root Ninja, he already knew that these two people were sent by Danzo to protect this base.

By the way, he was also responsible for capturing experimental subjects for the base.

As for Orochimaru's secret base, why did Danzo send people here?

The answer is actually very simple. Orochimaru has not yet left the Root Organization, so he can't hide his experiments from the other party.

In addition, he has to preside over the overall situation in the Rain Country and doesn't have much time to look after this side.

So, the two sides naturally came together.

However, Qingming was not interested in their dealings. He only knew that his trip was not in vain.

Although this Root ninja was not a researcher and did not know any relevant knowledge about human body modification, Qingming could still be sure from the other party's memory that there was indeed the knowledge he needed here.

Moreover, he had already found the entrance to it - there were two in total, one on the island and one in the sea, both of which were very hidden.

Not only that, the distribution of the guard force inside, the arrangement of the traps, and the overall structure of the base also appeared in his mind.

With this information, it was easy for him to sneak in.
