Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1106 News
Three hours later.

The sky is bright.

Qingming awoke from his sleep.

Lying in bed, he was still somewhat dazed as he recalled what had happened last night.

After taking the metal ball out of his ninja tool bag and seeing the Three-Tails sealed inside, he realized that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

It's no wonder he thought that way, since the capture of the Three-Tailed Fox last night went too smoothly. Even with the travel time, the whole process took less than ten minutes.

This inevitably made him feel unreal.

However, considering his current strength, Qingming felt relieved.

If someone with his current strength could fight a mere Three-Tails to a standstill, that would be a joke!
Collecting his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it. He put away the metal ball that sealed the Three-Tails, put on his equipment, and walked out of the wooden house.

Arriving at the stream, he washed up, then swallowed a few enhanced soldier ration pills to fill his stomach before beginning his cultivation.

Originally, Qingming thought that this incident would affect him at least ten days to half a month later, during which time he could still cultivate in peace.

Unexpectedly, just the next day, the shadow clone left behind in the village sent him a message.

in the afternoon.

Qingming was practicing the 'Extreme Body Technique' repeatedly inside the volcano.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, a memory surfaced in his mind.

After confirming that this memory wasn't a mistake made by some shadow clone cultivating outside that had killed him, Qingming immediately stopped cultivating. With a thought, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to Moon Island.

He didn't even bother to turn off 'Sage Mode'; he immediately closed his eyes and immersed his mind in this memory.

This memory contained a considerable amount of information, and it took Qingming some time to browse through it completely.

When he opened his eyes again, the tense expression on his face had relaxed a bit.

Simply put, the information contained in this memory, while not particularly good, wasn't too bad either.

Its origin is the shadow clone he left in Konoha Village, which disintegrated and synchronized with him.

The reason he used this method to deliver the message to him was because just now, Obito Uchiha had approached him.

That's right, it was Obito Uchiha, who infiltrated Konoha again and found him.

As for the purpose
It is related to the Three-Tailed Fox.

Last night, he was still thinking that if Obito Uchiha knew about this and participated in the investigation in Kirigakure, he would most likely focus his suspicions on him immediately.

Unexpectedly, the other party came to their door the very next day, and without any politeness, asked as soon as they met if the Three-Tails had been captured by him.

However, how could the shadow clone know this? The ten days of arduous training had not yet passed, and Qingming had not had time to return to the village and synchronize his memories with the other party.

Therefore, the shadow clone acted very naturally. Although he had guessed some things based on Obito Uchiha's question, he still gave him a negative answer.

After receiving this answer, Obito stared at him for a long time before leaving without saying a word.

Recalling the memory of the shadow clone in his mind, and observing Obito Uchiha's reaction before leaving, Qingming pondered for a long time but still couldn't find an answer: did the other party believe him or not?
However, whether the other party believes it or not, it doesn't have much impact on him.

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

Therefore, you can just continue practicing.

Thinking this, Qingming didn't rush to create a shadow clone to return to the village. Instead, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' again to teleport to the volcano below Moon Island and continue his cultivation.

After tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be the tenth day of his arduous training. At that time, he can go straight back to the village.

Now.
There's no need to create another shadow clone to go back. This way, some risks can be avoided.

As for being away from the village for a day or two, that's not important at all.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming adjusted his breathing. After adapting to the harsh air around him, he once again began to use 'Extreme Body Technique' to strengthen his body.

······
Two days later, time flew by.

evening.

Qingming returned to the village once again.

Walking down the street, he could clearly feel that Konoha was much more bustling than it had been on his previous visits.

This may be the hope that peace brings.

However, amidst the excitement, he could sense a subtle tension.

A glance swept across the various hidden corners, and Qingming could clearly see that there were more ANBU ninjas in these inconspicuous places.

They stared at the passing crowd, as if searching for something.

It was only the next day, through some special means, that Qingming finally figured out that they were looking for spies from the Hidden Mist Village.

It seems that Konoha has received some information that Kirigakure has sent a group of spies into the village.

Now, the ANBU ninjas active in the village are searching for these people.

This reminded Qing of a guess she had made the night before last.

If he's not mistaken, he's the one who caused all this trouble.

After all, with the Three-Tails missing, Kirigakure will definitely investigate thoroughly.

Unfortunately, their efforts were destined to be in vain.

Shaking his head inwardly, Qingming stopped paying attention to the movements on both sides. After resting in the village for a day, he returned to Moon Island and began a new round of cultivation.

As long as his Wood Clone, which had infiltrated Kirigakure again, didn't send any alarms, there was no need for him to worry too much; he could just focus on his cultivation.

And so, time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this period, just as Qingming had guessed, after investigating for a while without any results, Kirigakure indeed included the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan in their suspicions.

Furthermore, an investigation was launched targeting some well-known Uchiha ninjas who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

This naturally includes him, the renowned genius ninja.

Unfortunately, the shadow clones he left in the village almost never went out, which made it impossible for Kirigakure to find a way to attack him.

On the rare occasions he carried out missions, he personally went and returned quickly.

Therefore, after a month, the investigation in Kirigakure had almost no impact on him.

In addition, the expected questioning from Minato Namikaze did not occur, saving him the trouble of fabricating an explanation to deceive him.

And then there's Obito Uchiha. Aside from contacting him once a day after the incident, the other party never contacted him again.

At the same time, there was no news from the ninja world that the Three-Tails was in his hands.

So, overall, he had a relatively peaceful month.

After a month of hard work, he finally strengthened his body to the point of transformation before his chakra reserves ran out.
