Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1104 Sealing and Departure
Regardless of how the Hidden Mist Anbu reacted, Qingming, carrying the Three-Tailed Fox, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported to a place dozens of kilometers away from the lake in just an instant.

This is a jungle with the Flying Thunder God mark he once left behind, which can serve as a teleportation point.

The moment they appeared, the area trembled violently, and large swathes of trees collapsed, crushed beneath the massive body of the three-tailed beast.

This was late at night; if it were daytime, it would probably have already attracted some people's attention.

However, this place is still within the Land of Water, and it is still the territory of Kirigakure. We cannot stay here for long.

Who knows how Kirigakure will react after discovering that the Three-Tails has been stolen?
Qingming estimated that they would immediately organize a manpower to conduct a thorough search of the area around the lake where the Three-Tails was hiding.

As for the scope...
The most likely area is within a radius of ten kilometers.

Because that's pretty much the limit for an ordinary ninja.

To be on the safe side, they might expand the area to a radius of 20 or even 30 kilometers.

But any more than that is probably unlikely.

After all, according to common sense, even a Kage-level powerhouse, carrying such a tailed beast, could not go too far when using space-time ninjutsu.

However, no matter how much they planned, they probably didn't expect that his chakra reserves would far exceed those of ordinary people, allowing him to teleport dozens of kilometers away in one go even without using all his chakra.

But this is still not a reason for him to be careless.

As the saying goes: a long night is full of dreams.

Now that he has the Three-Tails, there is no need for him to waste time. The best course of action is to seal it away as soon as possible and then leave.

After all, Kirigakure is one of the five great ninja villages, and its number of bloodline limits is second only to Konoha. Who knows what strange abilities these people might have that led them to come here?

Since he didn't clash with Kirigakure when capturing the Three-Tails, there's even less need for him to now.

So it's best to leave as soon as possible!

With this thought in mind, Qingming wasted no more time. He opened his ninja tool pouch and pulled out a metal ball.

This was something he had his shadow clones, who stayed behind in the village, collect materials to create for the Three-Tails.

It is also the third sealing device he owns, made entirely of chakra-conducting metal.

The first two were sealed with the four-tailed, seven-tailed, and half of the nine-tailed beasts respectively. This one was specifically used to seal the three-tailed beast and other tailed beasts that might be captured later.

Withdrawing his gaze, Qingming looked up at the Three-Tails, which remained standing motionless in the same spot.

Then, he slowly raised the metal ball in his hand.

Then, he immediately injected chakra into it, activating the 'Sealing of All Things' on it.

Instantly, countless sealing techniques appeared, transforming into chains of chakra that shot out and pierced into the Three-Tails' body.

Stimulated by this, the Three-Tails' aura fluctuated, and its unique tailed beast chakra rapidly spread outwards.

At the same time, the three-tomoe Sharingan pattern reflected in his pupils due to being affected by the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' became blurred, as if it was about to disappear.

Once it disappears, it means that the Three-Tails has broken free from the control of the illusion.

Unfortunately, it didn't have that opportunity.

Seeing this, Qingming snorted coldly, and his powerful pupil energy surged out once again, entering the mind of the Three-Tailed Fox through his eyes.

In an instant, the three-tomoe Sharingan reflected in the Three-Tails' pupils became incredibly clear, and then it stopped struggling.

A few breaths later, with Qingming's shout of "Seal!", the chakra chains that had shot out from the metal sphere rapidly retracted, carrying the Three-Tails into the sphere. Qingming probed inside with his spiritual power, carefully inspected it, and after confirming that the seal was intact, he dispelled the genjutsu.

"Roar--"

The next moment, a deafening roar came from the mouth of the three-tailed beast, piercing Qingming's eardrums.

Qingming couldn't help but reach up and pick at his ear, then shouted in annoyance, "What are you yelling about?"

Upon hearing this, the Three-Tails not only did not restrain itself, but roared even louder.

Qingming could tell that the Three-Tails' roar was filled with anger.

Indeed, it had finally been resurrected, and before it could even enjoy a few days of freedom, it was inexplicably captured while it was sleeping. Any tailed beast would probably be unhappy about this.

Not to mention, Qingming's method of capturing the other party was somewhat despicable, almost bordering on a sneak attack.

How could the Three-Tailed Fox be willing to accept this?
But what can you do if you're unwilling? Once you're in Qingming's hands, there's no escaping.

Qingming looked at the other person and said directly, "Stop yelling!"

Upon hearing this, the Three-Tails roared again, "Damn it, you despicable Uchiha brat! If you have the guts, let me go and we'll have a proper fight. What kind of skill is it to rely on sneak attacks? Is this all the Uchiha clan ninjas are capable of?"

Hearing the other party's provocation, Qingming sneered.

As for a serious match?
Why complicate things when they can be solved simply?
Moreover, if he releases the other party, does that mean the other party becomes his opponent?
Putting aside the Mangekyou Sharingan's natural advantage over tailed beasts, even the newly learned Sage Mode is enough for him to dominate his opponent.

Furthermore, he has mastered quite a few A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu. If he were to use them all, even a tailed beast would be overwhelmed.

Putting everything else aside, one use of 'Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique' would be enough to give the opponent a hard time.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it and ignored the Three-Tailed Fox's impotent rage, withdrawing his spiritual power from the sealed space.

After recovering his chakra slightly, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to teleport to Moon Island.

What he didn't know was that shortly after he left, a figure suddenly appeared at the spot.

He was wearing a long robe and a swirling mask on his face. Who else could it be but Uchiha Obito?

As for why the other party is here?

The reason is actually quite simple. Just as he had guessed before, Obito Uchiha had already set his sights on Kirigakure, and naturally, he would pay attention to any unusual movements in Kirigakure.

However, the opponent acted relatively late and had not yet left any spies in Kirigakure, so they failed to obtain accurate information about the Three-Tails' resurrection in advance, which gave him the advantage.

But Obito Uchiha's reaction was also quick.

They arrived here just a little late.

Of course, the other side was able to find this specific location thanks to Black Zetsu.

It was precisely because Black Zetsu was cooperating with his plan and sent some White Zetsu to the Land of Water in advance that he was able to sense the Three-Tails' chakra burst in time, thus allowing him to find this place.

Otherwise, even tomorrow, the other party might not be able to find this place.

This also shows that Qingming's caution was correct. If he hadn't sealed the Three-Tailed Fox cleanly and then left, the two of them might have met here.

Although Qingming is not afraid of the other party, it is better for the two sides not to meet at this time.
