Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1009 Continuing and Leaving
Pulling his thoughts back, Qingming stopped thinking about it.

He turned and left, then used the 'Transformation Jutsu' again, transforming into an ordinary person, and went straight to the residence of the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That's right, he's not comfortable with just one 'eye' in Kakashi.

In my memory, on another timeline, the person who delivered Kushina Uzumaki's baby was Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife—Biwako Sarutobi!

Those responsible for the guard duties were members of Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu.

He has no intention of moving from Lake Biwa.

But he planned to leave some hidden agents among those ninja.

In this way, whether they were killed by Obito Uchiha or he discovered something unusual, he could know in time and then react.

At the same time, their movements can also determine Kushina's location.

Of course, the latter goal is not that important.

With 29 points in 'Spirit' attribute, and soon 30 points, plus enhanced perception through 'Spirit Transformation Technique', he could easily pinpoint Kushina's location given just a little space.

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all about not finding his target in the end.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming quickly arrived near his destination.

Standing at a distance, Qingming activated 'Heavenly Guard' and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's mansion, carefully observing the surrounding guards.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, who came from a commoner background, Hiruzen Sarutobi came from the Sarutobi clan, which was considered a major clan in Konoha.

His mansion was far more luxurious and much larger than the modern apartment where Minato Namikaze lived.

Correspondingly, there are many more guards inside.

In just a short while, Qingming saw more than a dozen guards, both overt and covert.

After thinking it over, Qingming decided to temporarily abandon the operation.

Although one has the 'Heavenly Guard' as a means of concealing one's whereabouts, facing so many people at once and making a rash move could still give one away.

Qingming didn't want anything to go wrong, so it was best to come over at night.

With this in mind, Qingming turned and left the place.

He continued on his way and soon returned home.

With nothing else to do for the time being, Qingming simply lay down on a recliner in the courtyard, gazing at the azure sky, and leisurely rested.

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, an afternoon has passed.

Night falls.

After having dinner at the 'Food Street', Qingming strolled around for a while. When he felt it was about time, he headed to Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence.

He waited outside for a while longer, until the night was completely dark, before he began his operation.

The details of the operation are self-evident; with his current strength and methods, it's impossible for him to fail.

In less than half an hour, he had left behind four hidden agents.

Even so, he spent most of his time waiting for opportunities, but when he actually took action, he could often achieve a goal in less than a minute.

Similarly, he did not leave the 'Heart-Sealing and Soul-Locking Contract Instantaneous Body Seal' on these people. Instead, like Kakashi, he simply used the 'Translation Seal' to seal a Flying Thunder God mark into their bodies.

However, unlike others, the seals on these people are activated when they see Obito Uchiha or are attacked by him.

Thus, as soon as the Flying Thunder God mark on their bodies disappears, Qingming will know that Uchiha Obito has begun his operation.

This way, he can better plan his actions.

Using his Sharingan genjutsu once again to erase the memory of a Konoha ANBU member in front of him, Qingming activated 'Heavenly Guard' and disappeared from the opponent's sight.

After observing from a distance for a while and confirming that the Konoha ANBU had not discovered anything, he left the area to search for other targets.

He spent over an hour finding ten targets and leaving 'transfer seals' on them before stopping.

In the distance, Qingming sensed the location of these people, nodded, and thought to himself, "This should be enough." Among these ten people, seven were ANBU ninjas under Hiruzen Sarutobi, and three were ninjas from the Sarutobi clan.

Therefore, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi takes action, whether he uses his subordinates' ANBU or his own clansmen, he has a very high chance of obtaining information.

After all, at this point in time, those who can protect him are all his trusted confidants.

In this situation, when he mobilizes his subordinates, he will inevitably select a few of these ten people.

In this way, he can keep track of the other party's actions.

Qingming withdrew his gaze, wasting no more time, and immediately flashed back home.

Back home, he didn't waste any more time, but went back to his bedroom to rest.

Soon, his soft snoring could be heard from inside the room.

A speechless night!
······
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming got up early.

After leaving a shadow clone at home, he left the village and teleported to Moon Island.

Even though only a day had passed, he couldn't help but feel excited when he returned.

Qingming suddenly realized that he had come to enjoy the feeling of cultivating alone and slowly growing stronger.

Indeed, such days are tough, and somewhat tedious and boring.

But how to say it?

If possible, he hoped that such days could continue forever.

Here, he doesn't need to think so much, nor does he need to go out and socialize. He can simply follow the plan quietly, do his own thing, and then wait for the harvest.

Well.
Speaking of plans, Qingming opened the panel and glanced at it.

As you can see, after a week of training, his Sharingan has reached an evolution level of (19935/100000).

At the current pace, it should be able to successfully break through the (20000/100000) level in at most two days.

Once he breaks through, his 'spirit' attribute will most likely increase again.

At that time, his abilities in all aspects will also experience a surge.

Qingming was very much looking forward to this.

After closing the panel again, Qingming raised his hands, crossed them to form the 'Ren' character seal, and then unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, three hundred figures appeared in the arena.

Qingming looked at the shadow clones, then opened his ninja tool pouch, took out a sealing scroll, and handed it to one of them, saying, "Here, you can begin your training!"

Upon hearing this, the shadow clone took the sealed scroll, then raised its hand to form a hand seal, breaking the 'sealing array' on it. Immediately, dozens of scrolls and books were revealed, which were the experimental notes left behind by the Second Tsuchikage, Mu.

The shadow clone distributed the books and scrolls to dozens of other shadow clones.

Then, the three hundred shadow clones below divided into small groups, with these dozens of shadow clones as the core.

Afterwards, they will conduct research and experiments in small groups.

This is a cultivation method that Qingming finally summarized after a series of explorations.

Developing Dust Escape in this way is almost the most efficient method.

Therefore, these shadow clones began to cultivate in groups a long time ago.

Watching the shadow clones leave, Qingming withdrew his gaze, then took a deep breath, locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark inside the volcano, and with a thought, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot.
