Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1193 Easily Overwhelmed and with Intelligence

"You are……"

Tianxin Shenji looked at Qingming in front of her, her eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.

At the same time, she glanced around and saw that the people who had attacked her earlier had disappeared.

It was as if a piece of her memory had been erased out of thin air, and everything before her eyes seemed so incongruous.

However, Qingming had no intention of answering the other party's questions.

Meeting his surprised and uncertain gaze, he once again activated the Rinnegan's exclusive ability—Time Control!

The next moment, an invisible force enveloped Tianxin Shenji once again.

As if sensing something, Princess Tianxin instinctively tried to resist.

However, just as she mobilized her chakra, her memories were interrupted again.

In terms of time, it went back more than a minute.

This made everything in front of her even stranger when she came to her senses.

Taking advantage of the other party's confusion, Qingming reached forward and grabbed the other party's neck.

The next moment, countless sealing spells appeared in his palm.

Then, in a very short time, it crawled all over the other person's body.

This is no other ninjutsu; it is his self-created S-rank sealing technique—Heart-Sealing Soul-Locking Contract Body Flicker Seal!
A tremendous sense of crisis arose in Tianxin Shenji's heart. Her intuition told her that once the seal was completed, her life and death would be in the hands of others.

Without any hesitation, she unleashed her chakra once more in an attempt to resist.

This scene was just like a replay of what had just happened.

Of course, in the other person's memory, this was the first time she had done this.

It was this misconception that caused her to lose her last chance.

Noticing the other party's actions, Qingming remained calm and activated the Rinnegan's exclusive ability once again—Time Control!

Tianxin Shenji was slightly taken aback, and then, the 'Heart-Sealing and Soul-Locking Contract Instantaneous Movement Seal' was completed.

Upon realizing the seal embedded in her mind and body, Princess Tianxin was terrified.

"you……"

She looked at Qingming, who was so close to her, and uttered a single word, as if she wanted to say something.

Unfortunately, Qingming had no intention of giving her a chance to speak.

With a thought, he directly activated the 'Heart-Sealing and Soul-Locking Contract Instantaneous Movement Seal'.

The next moment, countless sealing spells reappeared, leaving Princess Tianxin frozen in place, unable to move.

Meeting the other's terrified gaze, Qingming stepped forward, pressed his hand against the other's abdomen, and began to extract the other's chakra.

Normally, he wouldn't be able to extract too much chakra from the opponent using only the Rinnegan.

After all, the chakra within Tashin Shinhime's body contains natural energy and is Sage Chakra.

However, he already possessed the 'Sage Mode,' making him immune to the erosion of natural energy, so he could extract it at will.

Time passes minute by minute.

After about a few minutes.

Qingming withdrew his hand, and Tianxin Shenji collapsed to the ground.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling softly, Qingming nodded in satisfaction, feeling the chakra within his body recover somewhat.

Just now, he did indeed overwhelm Tianxin Shenji, sealing her away with almost no effort.

However, this was not without its price. The Rinnegan's 'Time Control' is not easy to activate, and he consumed a considerable amount of chakra in the process of activating it three times.

Now that he had the chakra from Princess Tanshin as a supplement, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, not only now, but he could continue to use her as a 'chakra battery' in the future, controlling her with Rinnegan genjutsu and constantly draining her chakra. As one of the few sages in Ryuchi Cave, the chakra she could provide was far greater than that of ordinary tailed beasts.

While this doesn't completely solve his chakra shortage problem, it can alleviate his chakra pressure to some extent.

Now, the only thing he needs to consider is Ryuchi-dong's reaction.

After all, Princess Tianxin is a high-ranking member of Ryuchi-dong, and no matter what, she cannot be easily given up.

Thinking this, Qingming squatted down and pressed his hand down on the top of the head.

He activated the Rinnegan once again.

However, this time it's not about extracting the other person's chakra, but about reading their memories.

Time passed again, and a few minutes later, Qingming opened his eyes again.

Then, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

First of all, just as he predicted, the other party did not come here by chance, but was alerted by Orochimaru.

Uh……

That's not entirely accurate. To be more precise, it should be said that they received a warning from Mansakatsu.

However, Manda is a summoning beast contracted by Orochimaru.

Therefore, even though he didn't see Orochimaru at all in Tianxin Shenji's memory, and the other party only came because he accidentally heard some news from Manda, Qingming was still certain that it was definitely related to Orochimaru.

After all, there are no real coincidences in this world.

As for how the other party knew that this node was related to Ryuchi Cave...

To this, Qingming could only say that it would be strange if the other party couldn't guess it!

After all, Orochimaru's intelligence and research abilities are among the best in the ninja world.

In this situation, with a clear research objective, the incomplete 'immortal body' of Jugo as a reference, and its close relationship with Ryuchi Cave, it would be a joke if they couldn't figure it out in five or six months!
However, this also made Qingming silently hold Orochimaru accountable in his heart.

Besides this information, he also obtained a magical technique from the mind of Princess Tianxin, namely her most proficient 'transformation of objects'.

Of course, due to time constraints, he did not investigate in detail, but only had a rough impression.

Finally, and most importantly, Princess Tashin recently sent a support signal to Ryuchi Cave.

That's right, Princess Tianxin has called for help.

Moreover, the call for help came earlier than he had anticipated.

Although it views humans as food, it is not arrogant at all, especially after confirming that the enemy is truly powerful.

This is a basic quality of an 'old monster' who has survived for hundreds of years.

Almost the instant he realized that the wooden clone was not his real body, he called for help.

Therefore, even though he later used the 'Time Control' to rewind time, he still couldn't stop Ryuchi Cave from receiving the news.

Judging from the reaction time of Ryuchi Cave in Tianxin Shenji's mind, the other party might arrive in the next second.

Suddenly, Qingming snapped out of his reverie.

Without hesitation, he immediately used the 'Wood Clone Technique' to create a wooden clone.

Then, he had his wooden clone take Tianxin Shenji away.

The other party was already his spoils of war, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.

As for himself...

Naturally, we should stay here and wait for the enemy to arrive.

Should we abandon this node?

nonexistent!
