Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 683
In a flash, time came to three days later.
This afternoon.
The sun was setting.
In a forest some distance away from Takigakure Village, four figures, one big and three small, were moving forward.
From time to time, you could hear them talking to each other.
And from the content of their conversation, it was not difficult to hear that they had just completed the mission and were preparing to return to the village.
That’s right, they were the four Takigakure ninjas who left Takigakure Village three days ago to carry out the mission.
Qingming’s shadow clone followed them for three days, and finally waited until they completed the mission and were ready to return.
Next, it was time for him to take action.
Hiding in a big tree beside the mountain path, Qingming watched the four people below, and when they approached, he decisively raised his hand to form a seal and performed an illusion – the Nirvana Jingshe technique!
Long before deciding to take action, Qingming’s main body had taken back the previous shadow clone, refreshed the state, and split out a new shadow clone.
In this way, the proficiency of each skill he had accumulated in these days could be synchronized to this shadow clone.
It was also because of this that the power of the ‘Nirvana Jingshe Technique’ he was performing now was not weak at all. Almost in the blink of an eye, the three young Genin fell into a coma.
As for the Takigakure Jonin,
Admittedly, the other party was just a Jonin from a small ninja village, and his strength was relatively average, but he could not be knocked down by an illusion at will.
When he saw the feathers appearing in the sky in his vision, he understood that someone was secretly performing an illusion.
So, without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to form a seal, mobilized the chakra in his body, and lifted the illusion.
Seeing this, Qingming stopped doing useless work, and after putting down his hands, he leaked a little of his breath.
And sensing this breath, Mizutani Yuichi raised his head suddenly and looked at the place where Qingming was hiding.
Seeing the other party looking at him, Qingming seemed to be caught doing something bad, and acted a little guilty. After throwing a few kunai, he immediately retreated to the back.
Seeing this, Mizutani Yuichi did not rush to chase immediately.
He first waved the kunai in his hand to block the kunai shot by Qingming.
Then, he looked at the three team members who were sleeping on the ground, and after confirming that they were okay, he flashed and chased after them.
Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to sense the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no breath of other people around for the time being, he was slightly relieved.
However, even so, he did not intend to chase too far. As long as he was sure that he could not catch up with Qingming for a while, he would return immediately.
Unfortunately, Qingming came specifically for him, how could he let him go back empty-handed?
Soon, Mizutani Yuichi appeared in front of Qingming and blocked his way.
He looked Qingming up and down, and suddenly said in a cold voice: “Who are you, you cunning fellow? Why did you lead me here?”
Obviously, he saw that Qingming deliberately led him here, but relying on his strength as a senior ninja, he took advantage of the situation and followed him.
As for why he was called cunning.
The reason is also very simple. At this time, he did not use his original appearance, but performed the “transformation technique” to change his appearance.
Not only did he not have any village logo on his body, but he also looked like an adult.
It’s a pity that it was just a “transformation technique” after all, and Qingming didn’t pay too much attention when he transformed. It was normal for the other party to observe it closely and find some clues.
In this case, he no longer pretended, raised his hand to cancel the ninjutsu, and returned to his original appearance.
“You”
Looking at Qingming’s young face, Mizutani Yuichi’s expression changed slightly, especially when he saw the Konoha forehead protector and the Uchiha clan emblem on Qingming, his face became even uglier.
Whether it is Konoha or the Uchiha clan, they are not something that a jonin from a small ninja village like him can afford to provoke.
This made him feel a little uneasy.
After carefully looking at Qingming’s face again, he suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression suddenly froze, and a few words blurted out: “Ghost Sword Qingming! Konoha Gemini!”
‘Ghost Sword’ is the name that Qingming made on the battlefield with the blade in his hand, and ‘Konoha Gemini’ refers to him and Uchiha Shisui, the two geniuses.
Of course, the latter also has a certain meaning of flattery and alienation.
After all, the dignified ‘Konoha Gemini’ is just two people from the Uchiha clan, which makes Konoha’s face where to put it.
But no matter how many conspiracies and calculations there are, the fame brought to Qingming is real.
Just like now, he just showed his true face and was recognized by people.
However, it doesn’t matter, anyway, he didn’t intend to let the other party leave alive.
Thinking this in his heart, Qingming had already opened the three-magatama Sharingan, and then performed the “instant sword technique” and came in front of Mizutani Yuichi.
Ding~
A crisp metal collision sound was heard.
Qingming swung a knife, but was blocked by Mizutani Yuichi with the kunai in his hand.
Seeing the opponent’s timely reaction, it was obvious that he did not relax his vigilance at all.
However, this was useless.
The attack was blocked, Qingming immediately put away the knife and turned into a shadow, like a ghost, and came to the other side of the opponent’s body at a very fast speed.
Swish~
The long knife in his hand was swung again.
Mizutani Yuichi continued to block.
No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar!
Qingming separated at the touch, moved again, and continued to attack.
At first, Mizutani Yuichi could keep up with his speed, but after only a dozen moves, he couldn’t.
Qingming seized the opportunity and used the ‘Illusion Sword Technique’ and ‘Shadow Sword Technique’, and directly slashed Mizutani Yuichi’s arm with a knife.
Swish~
The sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood sounded.
Drops of blood fell.
“Hmm~”
Mizutani Yuichi groaned.
He didn’t dare to pause for a moment, and endured the pain. After blocking Qingming’s attack again, he immediately retreated to the back.
However, with such a good opportunity, how could Qingming give up easily?
He saw him put away his knife and seal, and in the blink of an eye, he performed the ‘Illusion·Darkness Walking Technique’.
Before Mizutani Yuichi could react, the light in his vision disappeared, and darkness descended like silk, occupying all his vision in an instant.
He couldn’t see everything around him, and he didn’t know where to be on guard.
Qingming looked at Mizutani Yuichi standing there nervously, and flashed forward, casting the ‘Seal of Self-inflicted Curse Binding’ to bind him in place.
Then, he turned his palm into a knife and cast the ‘Chakra Scalpel’, cutting off the muscles and nervous system of the opponent’s arms with a few swipes.
This is not the end.
In order to prevent the opponent from having the strength to resist, Qingming stretched out his left hand again and cast the unmarked ninjutsu – Rasengan.
Silently, a high-density chakra ball condensed in his palm, and then he pressed it on Mizutani Yuichi, breaking part of his sternum.
Puff~
Suddenly hit by this heavy blow, Mizutani Yuichi spit out a large mouthful of blood on the spot.
It was also at this time that Qingming lifted the ‘Illusion·Darkness Walking Technique’.
His vision suddenly recovered, and Mizutani Yuichi immediately wanted to fight back, but at this moment, another pair of scarlet Sharingan occupied his vision.
‘Genjutsu Sharingan~’
Qingming stood in front of him and used this technique to control his consciousness.
Next, he would read all the information related to him from his memory.
Then, he would use his identity to sneak into Takigakure Village.
At this time, he could investigate the information about the Seven-Tails more deeply.
When everything was ready, it was time for him to capture the Seven-Tails.
