Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 589 Return and Conspiracy

Sunrise and sunset.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

This evening.

To the west of Youjin Port.

On a battlefield.

Faced with the siege of three Kirigakure Jōnin, Qingming held a long sword, and the green light on his body lit up from time to time, and his whole body moved rapidly.

He was walking alone among the three of them, giving him the feeling of strolling in a leisurely courtyard.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

As his body transformed again, his nerve reaction speed was once again strengthened.

In this way, coupled with the powerful insight provided by the three Magatama Sharingan, three enemies can no longer bring pressure to him, even if these three are three real jounin.

Just using the 'Instant Sword Technique' was enough for Qing Ming to deal with them.

As for why he appeared here and confronted these three people?

Quite simply, he was drafted.

As he had speculated before, Nara Kemitsu did not give these people much rest time.

Almost on the second day after he developed the 'Shadow Sword Technique', the personnel in the stronghold began to be transferred one after another.

And he was the first batch of personnel to be transferred.

Moreover, the battlefield they rushed to was also the Youjin Port where the fighting was the fiercest.

This is the bridgehead for Kirigakure Village to attack the Country of Fire. Although two months ago, he and a group of Konoha ninjas were so suppressed that they couldn't even lift their heads, and even had to retreat to the inside of Atsuzu Port.

However, as Kirigakure Village reluctantly gave up other occupied areas and gathered a large number of manpower at the four breakthrough points, this place became its largest stronghold in the Land of Fire.

Therefore, the battle was quite fierce.

Because of this, Qing Ming and other elites were directly transferred over.

In the past five days, Qing Ming has been fighting the Mist Ninja here.

And a famous ninja like him naturally received special treatment from Kirigakure. Almost every time he appeared, at least three to four jonin came to attack him.

And because the situation here has been figured out by Konoha Command, and there is no shortage of scouts in the team.

Therefore, Nara Qimitsu did not arrange a reconnaissance mission for him, but gave full play to his combat power advantage and asked him to contain these Kirigakure jounin.

Qing Ming is also happy to see this arrangement come to fruition.

Because he just needs an opponent to help him perfect the 'shadow sword technique'.

So, from then on, he came into conflict with several Kirigakure jonins in front of him, as well as several other Kirigakure jonins who came to rotate occasionally, and used their hands to perfect his 'shadow sword technique'.

At the same time, develop its routines in conjunction with 'Instant Sword Technique' and 'Illusion Sword Technique'.

like now

After dodging the attack of a Kirigakure Jōnin, Qingming used the 'Snap Sword Technique' without hesitation and quickly approached the other person.

The next moment, he held the knife in both hands and swung it out fiercely.

Seeing this, the expression of the Kirigakure Jōnin in front of him changed slightly.

In his field of vision, the long knife in Qing Ming's hand was divided into three parts, divided into three different directions, and slashed towards his neck, chest, abdomen and shoulders.

Five days ago, he would have thought it was an illusion and that only one knife was real.

Because Qing Ming had just practiced this technique for two days at that time, and there was no real person as a training partner, so his level was low.

As soon as it is used, one can notice something is wrong and can easily distinguish it from the 'Illusion Sword Technique'.

But now, after a week of practice, Qing Ming has been able to initially integrate it with the "Illusion Sword Technique". Most people can't tell whether his sword is real or fake.

At the very least, the Kirigakure jounin in front of him couldn't tell the difference.

Therefore, he did not dare to accept the attack at will, and was forced to retreat.

Seeing this, Qing Ming did not choose to pursue.

Without him, another Kirigakure jounin's attack had already arrived.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the kunai stabbed to the right. Qing Ming leaned back slightly, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Then, without waiting for him to go further and launch a follow-up attack, he turned to look at the opponent.

In an instant, a pair of Sharingan eyes as scarlet as blood occupied the Kirigakure jounin's field of vision, and there were faint mental fluctuations emanating from them.

"Illusion?!"

The Kirigakure jounin was shocked, quickly closed his eyes, and also retreated towards the back.

This time Qing Ming didn't hesitate at all and immediately used the 'Instant Sword Technique' to follow.

Click~

The Kirigakure jounin stamped his foot on the ground and stopped abruptly.

Then, he waved the kunai in his hand and struck Qingming's carotid artery like lightning. It was foreseeable that even Qing Ming would not survive once he was hit.

However, there was no sign of panic on Qing Ming's face.

His pupils shrank, and the powerful insight of the Three Magatama Sharingan made every move of the opponent seem to be in slow motion in his eyes, without any threat.

Qingming leaned slightly to avoid the attack, but made a mistake in his steps and came to the side of the Kirigakure jounin.

The next moment, the 'Shadow Sword Technique' was unleashed.

Brush ~ brush ~ brush ~

Three more sword shadows were swung from Qing Ming's hand, and just like before, they struck the Kirigakure jounin from three different directions.

Sensing the danger, the Kirigakure jounin quickly waved the kunai in his hand, blocking two sword shadows one after another. As for the third one.

Ding~

There was a clear sound of metal collision.

The Kirigakure jounin who attacked him first rushed over and waved the kunai in his hand, accurately blocking his attack.

Then, the Kirigakure jounin who had been forced to retreat also found an opportunity and threw several shurikens, hitting Qingming's vital points.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the incoming shuriken. Qingming had no time to block it and could only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

Taking this opportunity, the three Kirigakure jounin separated again and completed the semi-surrounding of Qingming again.

In this way, the battle has entered the next round.

It was as if what had just happened had never happened, and Qing Ming and the three of them got entangled again.

The cooperation between these three people is quite tacit. Even if Qing Ming can temporarily suppress them, the final result will be the same as before, they will be able to resolve it without any danger.

Of course, this is because Qing Ming did not use all his strength.

And he didn't intend to use all his strength.

Since he wants to use the enemy's hands to perfect and study various uses of the 'Shadow Sword Technique', naturally he cannot beat people to death with a stick.

That would have no meaning other than causing him more trouble.

It’s good to stay in a stalemate like this!

Anyway, Qing Ming was in no hurry to end this fight.

However, just because he wasn't in a hurry didn't mean that the Mist Ninja wasn't in a hurry either.

It is difficult for Commander Kirigakure to accept that Qingming drags several jonin with him every day.

Although these jounin behaved like that in front of Qing Ming, that was because Qing Ming was strong enough to suppress them and prevent them from exerting their abilities.

On other battlefields, these jounin are all forces that can affect the balance of a small area.

As the number of supporting troops in Konoha increases, the pressure on Kirigakure increases, and high-end combat power becomes scarce.

Now, Commander Kirigakure can't wait to use these people as two persons.

In this case, it would be a bit of an eyesore for one person to contain many people on Qing Ming's side.

But Qing Ming had to guard against this point.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Commander Kirigakure decided to mobilize enough manpower at once to press Qing Ming to death, which would not only eliminate this trouble, but also free up more combat power.

However, how to mobilize manpower also requires careful planning.

After all, Qing Ming is not a stick and cannot be surrounded by them.

Moreover, Qing Ming also has flying ninjutsu, so once he finds an opportunity, he can easily escape.

So, one has to be careful.

Finally, after some discussion, Commander Kirigakure decided to make a time difference.

So, we saw that when Qingming was fighting with the three Kirigakure jounin, the fighting in some places began to stop earlier than before.

However, in order to prevent being discovered, they did not have much time in advance.

Even in order to confuse Qing Ming, most of the battlefields close to Qing Ming were still fighting fiercely as before.

Taking this opportunity, those Kirigakure jounin who had retreated due to an early ceasefire began to gather quickly, then divided into several teams and advanced covertly towards the area where Qingming was located.

It has to be said that although Kirigakure's plan is simple, it is very effective.

Once they complete the arrangement, even Qing Ming will be in some trouble.

However, Qing Ming's keen perception still allowed him to discover some problems.

For example, the three Kirigakure jounin in front of them seemed to be deliberately delaying time.

After realizing this, he didn't hesitate at all, immediately looked for an opportunity, unlocked the 'guardian seal' between his eyebrows, and opened his white eyes.

Suddenly, everything within a kilometer radius came into view.

Then, the Mist Ninja's plan was exposed to his eyes.

There was no way around it, the huge chakra entities surrounding him from all directions were too obvious.

Qingming just thought for a moment and understood Kirigakure's plan.
