Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1075 The situation is tense
crunch~
The office door opened again, then closed again.

Qingming left this place.

Unbeknownst to him, right after he left the office, Minato Namikaze suddenly turned to Kakashi, who was still standing to the side, and said, "Kakashi, remember to keep an eye on Jonin Aomyou during the mission."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared in Kakashi's right eye, which was exposed beneath his mask.

Minato Namikaze noticed his confusion but didn't explain. He simply continued, "Remember to submit a detailed mission report to me later."

Seeing that Minato Namikaze didn't offer any further explanation, and Kakashi, still immersed in his past sorrows, didn't pay much attention. He simply replied "Okay" and left the Hokage's office as well.

After the two disappeared, Minato Namikaze's face showed a solemn expression.

Although half a year has passed since the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, and his wife has survived and recovered, this does not mean that he has stopped paying attention to some of the suspicious points from that night.

In fact, he had been secretly investigating the mysterious person who appeared that night for some time.

Although Uchiha Shisui did not report to the village that Qingming was the mysterious person due to various reasons, Namikaze Minato still managed to pinpoint Qingming as the suspect through some clues.

Although he wasn't entirely confident, he was about 70-80% sure.

However, there are some things he doesn't understand right now, so he doesn't plan to break the ice for the time being.

However, it is necessary to draw attention to Qingming.

At this moment, Qingming was unaware that his identity had already been exposed.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

Firstly, his current strength is sufficient to ensure his own safety, while also dispelling some people's unrealistic fantasies.

Secondly, there are only so many masters in the ninja world, and it's unrealistic for one to suddenly appear. So after he made his move that night, he didn't expect to be able to keep his identity a secret forever.

Therefore, he was not particularly concerned about whether his identity was exposed.

Moreover, he wasn't the one who stole the Nine-Tails.

On the contrary, he indirectly saved Kushina Uzumaki's life.

Therefore, he was not worried about Minato Namikaze causing him trouble.

······
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's turn our attention back to Qingming.

After leaving the Hokage Building, he returned home.

Afterwards, he quickly packed up his equipment, took everything with him, and left the village.

Before he could go far, the ANBU squad led by Kakashi caught up with him.

The two sides did not meet face to face, but tacitly maintained a formation of one in the light and one in the dark, heading towards their destination, which was the northern border.

Sunset and moonrise.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qingming stopped moving forward and found a clearing in the forest to rest.

Seeing this, Kakashi and the others who were secretly following also stopped and began to rest.

At this moment, the two sides still have not met.

In the forest.

The sounds of insects chirping and birds singing were constant.

After swallowing several enhanced soldier ration pills to fill his stomach, Qingming began to mobilize the chakra within his body and store it in the alternate dimension between his eyebrows.

As for cultivation
nonexistent!

In the current environment, the only training he can undertake is to separate the 'Body Extreme' and focus on strengthening the Byakugan separately.

However, this would necessitate removing the seal between the eyebrows.

With the Konoha headband covering it, the average person wouldn't notice anything unusual.

However, Qingming hadn't forgotten that Kakashi also possessed a Sharingan, which could also roughly observe the flow of chakra. If Kakashi were to discover the Byakugan between his eyebrows, there would undoubtedly be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, let's save up our chakra first.

With this in mind, Qingming quickly mobilized the chakra within his body.

Soon, he had stored up most of the chakra in his body.

Then, Qingming stopped wasting time and began to rest.

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

Qingming woke up very early in the morning.

After eating a few soldier's ration pills to fill his stomach, he set off again.

Nothing happened along the way, and around noon, he arrived at the rear camp on the northern border.

After exchanging information with the ninjas stationed there, he went to a specially cleared out post ahead.

This base is located near the Land of Rice Fields, in a rather remote location, which is exactly the route that the delegations agreed upon by Konoha and Kumogakure would take to enter and exit.

At this moment, there were no more Konoha ninjas stationed here. Qingming stood quietly on a watchtower, gazing into the distance, motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, a group of figures suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

As they drew closer, Qingming could see that it was a group of thirty or forty people, and judging from their headbands, they were ninjas from Kumogakure.

At this point in time, apart from the delegation from Kumogakure, Aomine couldn't think of anyone else who would happen to be here.

Soon, the group arrived at the stronghold, and Qingming appeared before them.

However, the situation on the field was not so friendly.

Then they saw that the group of thirty-odd Yunren had formed a semi-circle around Qingming. Their faces were full of hatred, as if they were about to kill Qingming at any moment.

And what about Qingming?

He stood quietly with his hands in his pockets, watching the other group's overreaction.

Perhaps it was because he had killed a large number of Cloud Ninja in the previous two weeks, and many of them were skilled fighters, that these Cloud Ninja had some complaints about him.

Therefore, the moment he appeared, before the rendezvous was even completed, these people surrounded him in the center.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, some of them seemed to want to take this opportunity to kill him here.

Unfortunately, Qingming was not afraid at all.

His gaze swept over the group, finally settling on a Cloud Village Jonin, and he said, "I am Uchiha Qingming, and I am here to escort you to Konoha."

After saying this, he remained silent, waiting for the other party's response.

If the leader, a Jonin from Kumogakure, is unable to control his subordinates, or deliberately allows them to attack him.

Then he will definitely retaliate.

He wouldn't care if he was accused of sabotaging the peace talks.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Village Jonin in charge of leading the team seemed to have sensed his will. After a moment's hesitation, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to put away their ninja tools.

Some of the Cloud Ninja were still unwilling, but under his intense gaze, they eventually gave in.

It's clear that even though the Fourth Raikage, A, unified the opinions within the village, there were still some people in Kumogakure who had their own ideas.

However, this is not important to Qingming.

He simply looked at the Cloud Ninja leader in front of him and said, "Do you need to rest? If not, we can set off now."

Upon hearing this, the team leader, Yunren, didn't waste any words and said directly, "We don't need to rest."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Qingming immediately responded and led the way.
