Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 685

Sunset and rise.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

This morning.

Qingming left Takigakure Village under the pretext of training his three Genin.

After three days of careful investigation, he had roughly figured out the status of the Seven-Tails.

As he guessed, the other party has not yet been sealed into Fu’s body, and is still in a relatively independent state, which is the state he needs.

However, the other party’s state can’t last too long.

Based on some clues, he can basically confirm that the top leaders of Takigakure have probably reached a consensus, and they will complete the preparations within a week at the latest.

By then, the Seven-Tails will be sealed into Fu’s body.

Once this step is taken, it will lose its independence.

If he wants to save the subsequent trouble, he must act within this week.

This time is a little earlier than he expected.

However, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, by then, he will be almost ready and can act in advance.

Of course, before that, he needs to pass the information back.

Outside Takigakure Village.

Qingming emerged from the huge waterfall, followed by three Takigakure Genin.

Looking at the three people, Qingming said “follow me” without any extra words, and then he took the lead and ran deep into the forest.

Seeing this, the three Takigakure Genin did not dare to delay at all, and immediately followed Qingming and ran towards the distance.

After walking for about an hour, when they came to an uninhabited mountain forest, Qingming stopped.

After a few breaths, three Takigakure Genin appeared and stopped.

However, unlike Qingming’s calmness, they immediately started to breathe heavily as soon as they stopped.

Obviously, the rapid march just now consumed a lot of their physical strength.

Qingming looked at them, and imitated Mizutani Yuichi’s tone, and said: “Your physical strength is still too poor. You must focus on improving this ability in the future.”

“Yes, teacher!” ×3

The three people did not refute when they heard this, but replied in unison.

“Yeah.”

Qingming seemed very satisfied with their attitude. After nodding, he said: “I will go to the nearby area first, and you should take the time to rest.”

“Yes, teacher!”

The three people responded, and immediately sat on the ground, began to calm their breath, and took the time to recover their physical strength.

Seeing this, Qingming flashed and left the place.

After a dozen breaths, he appeared on a big tree not far from the three people.

Qingming looked around, then raised his hand to seal, lifted the “guardian seal” at the center of his eyebrows, and opened the Byakugan.

That’s right, since his body underwent a transformation last time, the “physique” attribute was increased to 22 points, and the Byakugan was completely awakened. After merging with him, it was like the Sharingan, and could be used by his shadow clone.

It was for this reason that Qingming had the confidence to use a shadow clone to find the trace of the Seven-Tails in Takigakure Village.

Otherwise, how could he determine the exact location of the Seven-Tails in such a large Takigakure Village?

If he explored it bit by bit, he might not be able to find it until it went berserk.

Putting down these random thoughts, Qingming quickly concentrated his mind and used the perspective ability of the Byakugan to confirm the surrounding situation.

After confirming that there was no one else within a kilometer, he closed the Byakugan.

Then, without any pause, he raised his hands again and quickly formed seals.

After a few seconds, he slapped the tree trunk next to him.

Suddenly, dense black lines appeared, like a miniature sealing technique, engraved on the tree trunk.

In fact, it was almost the same.

These black lines were the Flying Thunder God technique, which was the chakra mark required to perform the ‘Flying Thunder God Technique’.

However, because his level of “Flying Thunder God Technique” was too low and his proficiency was not enough, the mark was more complicated.

Unlike Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato, who directly reduced the mark to a simple pattern and a line of text.

However, Qingming firmly believed that as long as he continued to work hard, he could also achieve this step when the level of “Flying Thunder God Technique” was raised.

As for now.

Let’s just make do with it!

Retracting his hands, Qingming checked the mark, and after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately lifted the “Shadow Clone Technique”.

Bang~

Accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke dissipating.

Qingming, who was standing on the tree branch before, disappeared.

······

At the same time.

The Land of Fire.

The south.

On that island.

Qingming was just improving the “Palm Immortal Technique”, but suddenly his expression froze, and the whole person froze in place, and then silently closed his eyes.

Time passed by every second.

Qingming’s eyes were tightly closed, his eyeballs kept turning, and drops of sweat oozed from his forehead. His whole spirit was extremely active, as if he was receiving some information at a high intensity.

In fact, it was true.

Now, he was receiving the memory information of the shadow clones that sneaked into Takigakure Village.

This was not like cultivation. Although there were many people, each of them did not exist for a long time.

These were memories of several days, and they poured into his mind at once, which still put him under a lot of pressure.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Fortunately, his mental power was strong enough, and he was also used to the situation where a large amount of information poured into his mind, so he finally persisted.

About half an hour later, Qingming opened his eyes.

Then, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

With the memory of the shadow clone, he had a more detailed understanding of the situation in Takigakure Village.

At the same time, based on the information collected by the shadow clone, he had a general idea of ​​what to do next.

But he still needed to consider further how to do it.

However, the development of things often does not follow people’s subjective will.

Or, plans can never keep up with changes.

Just as he was thinking, a loud eagle cry suddenly woke him up.

Qingming looked up and saw a family-trained herald eagle circling over the island, as if looking for someone.

After a moment, it seemed to confirm the target, and then dived and flew straight towards him.

Seeing this, Qingming frowned slightly, and inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.

But in the end, he still stretched out his arm and let it stop.

The messenger eagle called to him a few times, and then showed its right claw with a letter box.

Qingming didn’t waste time, and opened the letter box directly, and found a note inside.

The content of the note was very simple, that is, the family asked him to go back as soon as possible, saying that the village had a task for him.

“Task?”

Qingming frowned slightly as his bad premonition came true.

As a senior ninja and a member of the Uchiha clan, he didn’t need to spend a lot of time on tasks for a little money like those civilian ninjas.

In fact, he had never been to the task station for some time.

Basically, all his time was spent on training.

But now, the village suddenly gave him a task, which surprised him very much.

After all, generally speaking, if there is no major event, the village will not take the initiative to assign tasks to people.

He didn’t know what tasks he needed to do personally at this point in time?

However, since the clan had already passed the message to him, it meant that this task could not be refused, or it was difficult to refuse.

Therefore, he had to rush back as soon as possible.

With this thought, Qingming took back the shadow clone that was practicing nearby.

After digesting and absorbing their practice experience over the past period of time, he raised his hand again to form a seal, and performed the “Shadow Clone Technique”, splitting out a shadow clone.

Qingming looked at the other party and directly ordered: “I’ll leave the Takigakure Village to you first, don’t act rashly for the time being.”

“Okay.”

Hearing this, the shadow clone nodded, and then closed his eyes.

After a while, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Qingming carefully sensed it and found that the Flying Thunder God Technique left by the previous shadow clone had been activated.

Obviously, this shadow clone had just been transferred to the forest not far from Takigakure Village through the “Flying Thunder God Technique”.

This is the convenience of the “Flying Thunder God Technique”!

Even though its current level is not high and it is not very convenient to use, it can already help him do a lot of things.
