Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 648
It’s night.
Inside Konoha Village.
A remote corner.
Root’s headquarters base is underground here.
At this time, in an office, Danzo was flipping through the documents in his hand, and there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Danzo frowned slightly, closed the document in his hand, and then said: “Come in!”
Crunch~
The door was pushed open.
A root ninja walked in quickly.
Danzo looked at the other person and said directly: “Yi, what’s the matter?”
“Lord Qi, Shadow Ghost is missing.”
Yi Yan replied briefly and concisely.
“What?”
Upon hearing the news, Danzo’s expression was momentarily stunned.
Then, he frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
After hearing this, B immediately told the whole story without any concealment.
“Back to my lord, half an hour ago was the fixed contact time between Shadow Ghost and the base, but he did not send a contact signal. My subordinates were worried that something would go wrong, so they sent out the Red Shadow team.”
“Then what?”
Danzo continued to ask expressionlessly.
B replied: “The Red Shadow Team found the Seventh Martial Arts Arena based on the marks left by the Shadow Ghost, and then the clues were lost. Currently, the life and death of the Shadow Ghost is unknown.”
Upon hearing this answer, Danzo looked ugly, and then asked: “Where is that brat?”
“The target has returned to his residence.” B replied.
“Is there anything unusual about the place where Shadow Ghost disappeared?” Danzo asked again.
“No.”
B shook his head and replied: “The Red Shadow Team has checked carefully. There are no clues left by the Shadow Ghost, and there are no traces of fighting. The Shadow Ghost seems to have disappeared out of thin air.”
The so-called shadow ghost is naturally the root ninja who monitors Qing Ming.
Qing Ming opened his Byakugan to find his location, and then used the ‘Heaven Control’ to catch up instantly, then used the ‘Illusion: Sharingan’ to control him, and finally took him away from the place.
During this period, not only was there no fighting, but when Qing Ming left at the end, he also used the ‘Heaven’s Control’ for the second time, moving a certain distance and completely erasing all traces of himself.
In this way, it’s surprising that Red Shadow Team can find clues!
And after hearing B’s answer, Danzo’s expression turned gloomy to the extreme.
Although the life and death of Shadow Ghost are not yet known, there are no clues to prove that this incident is related to Qing Ming.
However, Qing Ming’s ability to return to his residence safely is the biggest problem in itself.
Shadow Ghost was ordered by him to monitor Qing Ming, and unless there was any force majeure, he would definitely follow Qing Ming.
Now, Qing Ming has returned to his residence, but the other party has disappeared.
Thinking with his butt, Danzo could guess the answer.
Now, Shadow Ghost is probably dead.
However, he did not expect that Qing Ming would be so bold.
Originally, in his expectation, even if the shadow ghost was discovered, Qing Ming would not kill anyone. The most likely thing would be to find a way to escape surveillance.
After all, this is what other Uchiha ninjas did in the past.
But Qing Ming didn’t play according to the routine and directly disrupted his plan.
During this time, he was helping Orochimaru compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage. He had no time to care about Qingming. It was just a habit to send people to monitor him.
I never thought that Qing Ming would kill someone directly.
It’s just killing people. If he can leave some clear clues, then he can use it as an excuse.
But the crux of the matter is that Qing Ming did it too cleanly and left no evidence that could be put on the table.
In this way, it seems that he can only suffer this boring loss.
But who is Danzo, and how could he suffer this loss so easily?
After thinking for a moment, he directly ordered: “B, from tomorrow, no, from now on, you send two teams to keep an eye on that kid.
Once the other party takes action again, don’t be polite. I don’t believe that he can kill both teams quietly, so just grab him, huh.”
He didn’t finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious.
Once he finds an opportunity, he will never let Qing Ming go easily.
However, after hearing his instructions, B did not agree immediately. Instead, he said: “Sir, isn’t this time not suitable? Should we go first?”
However, before he could finish his words, Danzo waved his hand and interrupted: “Stop talking, just do as I say.”
“Yes, sir.”
Upon hearing this, B stopped talking and immediately responded.
“Okay, go down and make arrangements!”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Danzo waved the other person away.
“yes.”
B finally responded, then turned and left the office.
After he left, Danzo’s expression returned to calm.
The reason why he chose to do this at this time was not entirely out of anger at being slighted. He also wanted to take this opportunity to give the Uchiha clan a beating.
Originally, he did not plan to have any friction with the Uchiha clan during this period.
However, according to the latest news he received, most of the Uchiha clan’s jounin have decided to support Namikaze Minato’s candidacy for the Fourth Hokage. In a few days at most, they will be able to unify their opinions.
And the support of a Konoha wealthy family is definitely a big help to Namikaze Minato.
But this choice went against him.
In this way, he naturally won’t worry so much.
If this can be used to change the Uchiha clan’s decision, that would be great.
If not, he could get rid of a hidden danger.
Also
Danzo reached out and touched his bandaged right eye.
If his guess was true, Qingming might have awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.
An ordinary three-magatama Sharingan already made him feel powerful. If he could replace it with a more powerful eye, his strength would definitely be greatly improved.
In this way, when he runs for the position of Hokage, he will be more confident.
That’s right, until now, Danzo is still dreaming of his Hokage.
As for whether he can take down Qingming
Danzo has never doubted it.
Admittedly, he has failed many times with Qingming in the past two years.
But that was because he had more important things to do, so he could only dispatch some people and did not make too careful arrangements, so he failed.
Now it’s different.
He has done everything he should do.
Next, once he finds an opportunity, he will use all his strength.
In this way, there will naturally be no accidents.
Danzo is confident in the power he has.
Similarly, Qingming is also full of confidence.
From Shadow Ghost, he knew that Danzo might have guessed that he had the Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, the other party did not know the true power of these eyes.
This can be seen not only from his instructions to his subordinates, but also from his fight with Sasuke many years later.
In this case, how could Qingming be afraid?
Moreover, his strength is not limited to the Sharingan. His vast chakra and various perfect-level ninjutsu are also one of his confidence.
