Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1105 (Continued) (Revised)
In the forest.

Obito Uchiha revealed himself.

He stared with one of his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, carefully examining his surroundings. After observing for a while, he released his spiritual power to sense the atmosphere around him.

Unfortunately, Qingming stayed here for too short a time and did not leave many traces.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha did not gain much.

His expression wasn't good, even behind the mask.

Now, one thing is certain: the Three-Tails did appear here not long ago, but what else is unknown.

Standing there for a moment, Obito Uchiha turned his gaze towards Kirigakure and muttered, "Looks like I'll have to go back?"

Because he arrived in a hurry after receiving the news, he didn't know the details of many things.

Now, he needs to fill in this gap in the information and see who the mastermind is.

That's right, Obito Uchiha has confirmed that there must be a mastermind behind this.

Based on the traces at the scene, it can be inferred that the Three-Tailed Fox appeared out of thin air, crushed a large number of trees, lingered for a while, and then disappeared into thin air.

He had no recollection that the Three-Tails possessed the ability to teleport.

Therefore, only humans can do this.

Therefore, he was convinced that there must be a mastermind behind this incident.

He even had several suspects in mind.

After all, there are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world who can easily subdue the Three-Tails and master space-time ninjutsu.

Among them, the person he suspected the most was naturally Qingming, whom he had just met not long ago.

However, he doesn't have any solid evidence yet, so he needs to go to Kirigakure to gather relevant information before he can make an accurate judgment.

He had to find out where the Three-Tails was, no matter what.

The tailed beasts are essential for him to achieve his ultimate goal. Even if he doesn't want to attract attention now, he still needs to know the whereabouts of each one while keeping them under his control.

Only in this way will we not be at a loss when we need to use it.

With this thought in mind, Obito Uchiha activated the ability of 'Kamui'.

With a spatial distortion, a passage connecting to the Kamui dimension was formed, and Obito Uchiha leaned back slightly before being sucked in.

······
at the same time.

Moon Island.

In the central open space.

Qingming was recalling his actions just now.

It seems that the clues he left behind should be able to confuse Kirigakure for a while.

After all, on the surface, he did not possess any space-time ninjutsu.

However, the method by which he brought the Three-Tails away from the bottom of the lake was undoubtedly a space-time ninjutsu.

Combined with the traces he deliberately left in the forest, the enemy had no choice but to investigate in this direction.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about Kirigakure finding out about him for a while.

As for why it's for a short period of time, rather than permanently?
It's very simple; he would never underestimate the intelligence capabilities of a major ninja village.

They might not suspect him immediately, but after one or two rounds of investigation, they will most likely eventually include him in their suspicions.

There's no other reason than that, besides space-time ninjutsu, the ability to easily subdue the Three-Tails is also a direction for investigation.

In this way, the Sharingan will inevitably come into the other party's field of vision.

At that time, he, as a genius of the Uchiha clan, will naturally be suspected.

However, that's a long time from now, so he doesn't need to worry about it for now.

On the other hand, Konoha
Once Minato Namikaze obtains the relevant information, he will likely quickly focus his suspicions on him.

After all, Minato Namikaze had already developed some suspicions about him after the 'Nine-Tails' attack'.

Contacting the missing half of the Nine-Tails, the other party will likely soon suspect that he captured the Three-Tails.

If we think about it more deeply, considering the actions of Iwagakure in sending infiltration teams into the Land of Fire after the Four-Tails was lost, we might even suspect that the Four-Tails is also in his hands.

However, he can just deny it to the death when the time comes.

In any case, given his current strength, there is no possibility that he could be forced by anyone.

Of course, Qingming estimated that the person the other party initially suspected was Uchiha Obito.

After all, Obito Uchiha's revealed abilities after several battles were very consistent with the characteristics of the Three-Tails' disappearance.

Well.
Thinking of Obito Uchiha, Qingming couldn't help but frown slightly.

He suddenly realized that Obito Uchiha had also set his sights on Kirigakure.

Although based on the memories of the previous wooden clone, there is no indication yet that Yagura is being controlled by him, it is hard to guarantee that he does not know what happened tonight.

Or rather, the other party will most likely find out. If they are also involved in the investigation, they will probably focus their attention on him immediately.

Indeed, he had never revealed the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to the other party.

But having dealt with each other so many times, Qingming didn't believe the other party wouldn't notice any problems.

Putting aside everything else, during the battle at the cemetery, he easily saw through the opponent's 'Kamui' ability, accurately predicted the opponent's location, and used this to take away one of his arms containing Hashirama cells.

This keen insight into spatial fluctuations is something that ninjas without similar abilities simply cannot achieve.

Therefore, even if Obito Uchiha didn't say it, he probably already had suspicions in his heart.

Given this, and considering his earlier act of capturing the Four-Tails, it's only natural that he would target him.

At this moment, Qingming was unaware that Obito Uchiha had become involved in this matter earlier than he had anticipated.

Almost as soon as he left, the other party went to the forest and had already become suspicious of him.

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

To reiterate, with his current strength, no one can force him to do anything.

Moreover, given Obito Uchiha's modus operandi, even if he knew that the Three-Tails was taken by him, he probably wouldn't make a fuss.

After all, all he wanted in the end was the Tailed Beast; he didn't care who had it in the middle.

Who knows, they might even be hoping to concentrate the Tailed Beasts in one person's hands, and then eliminate them all at once when the time is right!

The thought flashed through Qingming's mind, but he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He took out the metal sphere again, examined the Three-Tails inside, then raised his hand to form a hand seal and cast the 'Chakra Absorption Technique'.

Soon, the Three-Tails' chakra was transferred into his body through the sealing array formed by the 'Sealing of All Things in the World', and he transformed it into his own chakra.

Inside the sealed space, the Three-Tails sensed its chakra being drained by Qingming, and its still unsettled mood immediately became agitated again.

He kept hurling insults and provocations at Qingming inside, trying to provoke Qingming's anger.

But Qingming paid no heed to this.

Therefore, the Three-Tails tried to control its own chakra to prevent Qingming from extracting it.

When Qingming designed this sealing array, he took into account the possibility of the tailed beasts not cooperating. The sealing chains that pierced into the tailed beasts' bodies could forcibly extract their chakra.

This infuriated the three tailed creatures, leaving them only able to struggle within the sealed space.

Qingming was getting annoyed by it.

So, with a thought, he tightened the 'Sealing of All Things in the World', making it impossible for the three-tailed fox to move.

And so, the Three-Tails was like an insect wrapped in a spider web, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Qingming drained its chakra.

It was visibly becoming sluggish.

Qingming stopped moving only after he felt that his opponent had reached his limit.

Then, he probed his mental energy into the alternate dimension between his eyebrows, carefully sensing the increased chakra within.

Using this as a reference, and combining it with his experience in extracting the other three tailed beasts, Qingming finally came to a conclusion.
If the Three-Tails is to maintain its state and provide him with a stable supply of chakra over a long period, then he can only extract a maximum of 1.5 million chakra points from it per day.

Although this number is far less than that of the Nine-Tails, it is comparable to that of the Four-Tails, and Qingming is quite satisfied.

In any case, with this replenishment of 1.5 million chakra points, his pressure will be greatly reduced.

In this way, the chakra he had previously stored up could last for a longer period of time.

"Not bad!"

Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

He then put away the metal ball that sealed the Three-Tails, glanced at the time, and decided to go back to sleep.

But just then, as if remembering something, he suddenly slapped his head.

Then, he raised his hand to form a hand seal and unleashed the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

brush~
A wooden clone was created by him and stood in front of him.

As usual, Qingming cast the 'All Things Sealed' on the other party and poured a sufficient amount of chakra into it.

After doing all that, he looked at the wooden clone in front of him and said directly, "Alright, now go to the Land of Water, and then find a way to infiltrate Kirigakure again, stay there, and continue to gather intelligence."

That's right. Just now, he suddenly remembered that the wooden clone that had been lurking in Kirigakure had chosen to self-destruct in order to send him a message.

His eyes are no longer in Kirigakure.

This period coincides with a time when he desperately needs to understand the movements of Kirigakure, and he cannot afford to miss it.

Therefore, he quickly created this wooden clone to replace the original wooden clone.

Upon hearing his command, the wooden clone nodded without a word and then used 'Wind Release: Wings of Wind' to fly into the sky, heading towards Kirigakure.

Qingming watched the other person leave quickly and disappear into the night. After yawning, he returned to the cabin to continue resting.

　Sorry, there were some issues with the earlier parts of this chapter (Obito Uchiha did indeed have doubts about the protagonist's mastery of the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'), thanks to the readers for pointing them out, I have already corrected them.
