Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 535

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, five or six minutes passed.

Seeing that Qingming had not revealed any flaws, several Root Ninjas looked at each other and immediately understood what they meant – they could not wait any longer!

Now, they were just pretending that they could not beat Qingming. If they let Qingming bomb them, they would really not be his opponent.

Therefore, they had to fight while they were still in good condition.

That’s right, they had to fight.

Having lost the advantage of the first move, and with the tragic death of three people, many of the means they prepared could not be used. Although there were backup means, facing the current situation, they could only treat the dead horse as a living horse.

Immediately, a Root Ninja who seemed to be the leader shouted: “Plan C!”

Hearing this, the four Root Ninjas in the field immediately stopped, and then occupied a position respectively, with uniform movements, and formed three hand seals in an instant.

The next moment, dense black lines emerged from their bodies, and then soared into the sky, turning into four beams of light.

If you look closely, you can still see some floating sealing spells on the light column.

These sealing spells quickly spread around, as if to form a cubic barrier to trap Qingming in it.

However, as early as when these people always stayed around him, they attracted his attention.

In the past few minutes, he also launched attacks specifically against these people.

But even if it was more dangerous, these people did not leave their positions without permission.

Even others were secretly protecting these four people.

From then on, Qingming knew that these four people were strange.

Sure enough, they suddenly cast some kind of weird sealing barrier. Even though it has not closed yet, Qingming’s body and mind have already felt an invisible pressure.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately flapped his wings and planned to leave this area before the barrier was formed.

However, these root ninjas dared to take action, so they naturally had a certain degree of confidence.

Almost at the moment he turned around, several vacuum bullets shot at him, and the speed was so fast that even he couldn’t help but look sideways.

That’s right, this is the B-level ninjutsu – Wind Style: Vacuum Jade!

In Danzo’s hands, this technique can even injure Sasuke who has opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

And now, Qingming is only maintaining the state of three magatama.

It’s only because the one who cast this technique now is a special jonin of the root, otherwise he might not be able to dodge it safely.

Swish, swish, swish~

A few vacuum bullets flew past his ears.

Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and planned to continue flying away.

But at this moment, a shuttle-shaped bird appeared out of thin air, and then pounced on him like lightning, and its sharp beak tried to pierce his heart from behind.

When it flew, it was almost silent, and the opportunity it seized was perfect.

At this time, if it were someone else, it might really be seriously injured.

But Qingming was different.

Almost the moment it appeared, Qingming’s white eyes noticed it.

So, he turned around, and the “Chakra Scalpel” was cast, and he chopped off the head of the bird with one blow.

唳~

A whine came from the bird’s beak.

At the same time, the only remaining Root Chunin in the forest below also cried out in pain.

Qingming glanced at the other party with his peripheral vision.

Through his Byakugan, he had already discovered that this strange summoned beast was the one the other party had just summoned.

Moreover, judging from the other party’s appearance, he should have used some secret technique to temporarily control the body of the flying bird.

Yes, the other party could launch such a precise attack as soon as it appeared. There was no other possibility except being controlled by someone.

However, it was precisely because of this that the person who controlled him suffered a heavy backlash as the strange bird was beheaded by him.

But all this was worth it for those Root ninjas.

Qingming looked around and saw that in just this delay, the light curtains spread by the four light beams had merged together, and the sealing barrier was formed.

Just as Qingming had felt before, when the sealing barrier closed, he only felt an inexplicable pressure on his body and mind.

You know, the body and spirit are the foundation of chakra, and chakra is the source of the extraordinary power of ninjas.

Once the body and spirit are suppressed, without chakra, the ninja can’t use it even if he has all the means.

Just like now, Qingming can clearly feel that if he wants to use any ninjutsu again, the difficulty will be at least ten times more than before. The chakra in his body seems to be suppressed and very difficult to mobilize.

Obviously, the root noticed that the general barrier can’t trap him at all, so I don’t know where to find such a side door seal, specifically targeting him.

“Sure enough, the sealing technique is the highest power in this world.”

Qingming muttered, letting four transparent chains full of sealing techniques shoot out from the four root ninjas who maintained the barrier and pierced straight into his body.

“Hmm~”

Qingming groaned.

He could feel that the chakra in his body was more restrained, and it was more difficult to perform ninjutsu.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly.

Qingming ignored the four transparent chains on his body and secretly glanced at a big tree in the distance. There, a strange spiritual beast that looked like a sloth was quietly observing this side.

If he hadn’t guessed, it should be the way these Root ninjas had monitored the main battlefield from a distance before.

However, it is now used to observe this battle.

Obviously, this is their backup plan.

Once they fail, everything about Qingming’s battle will be recorded by this summoning beast and then transmitted back to the Root headquarters.

That’s why Qingming didn’t resist just now.

Otherwise, with his reaction, he could open the Mangekyō Sharingan and activate the pupil technique – Tianzhiyu before the four chains touched him, and escape from this barrier.

But he didn’t do it.

One of the reasons is that he was afraid of information leakage.

Qingming didn’t want to expose his trump card here and make Danzo alert out of thin air.

Of course, more importantly, he has figured out some details of this sealing barrier and is confident that he can survive the next battle.

Otherwise, even if the trump card is exposed, he will use the Mangekyō Sharingan without hesitation.

After all, trump cards are not as important as life!

With this thought, Qingming retracted his gaze, ignoring the huge pressure exerted by the four chains on his body, and swept his eyes to the four root ninjas who maintained the barrier.

Through his Byakugan, he could clearly observe that the vitality of these four people was rapidly draining away, and the whole person was getting old at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obviously, it was not a simple matter to maintain such a special barrier.

However, through their subtle expressions, Qingming found that this matter seemed to be beyond their expectations.

Logically speaking, this sealing technique was performed by them, and it consumed their vitality. They should be very clear, so why did they show this expression?

Suddenly, Qingming seemed to think of something, closed his eyes and carefully felt the chains connected to him.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes.

Then, a touch of realization appeared in his eyes.
