Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1197 Control
The presence of the poisonous fog obscured the vision of others.

Qingming seized the opportunity and launched several attacks on Xinya in a very short period of time.

Xin Ya was so dizzy and disoriented from the beating that he lost his senses even more.

Gradually, he gained control over the behavior.

Qingming guided the other party to make the desired reaction, and then, seizing the opportunity, flashed to the other party's side.

Just then, Xin Ya turned around and came face to face with Qing Ming.

Seeing this scene through the Byakugan's X-ray vision, Qingming didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, a ball of Wind Release chakra condensed and transformed into a gust of wind, blowing forward.

Indeed, due to the terrain, his wind technique could not disperse the poisonous fog here, but creating a non-toxic environment in a short time was not a problem.

Of course, a non-toxic environment is secondary.

The main reason he dispelled the poisonous fog ahead was to make Shinya's eyes meet his, thereby allowing him to unleash the genjutsu abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Just like now, the moment the poisonous fog dissipated, Xin Ya was caught off guard and stared directly into his eyes, instantly frozen in place by his gaze.

"Whoo~"

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Qingming breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, because Princess Tashin had sent back information that he possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan early on.

Therefore, the opponents were on guard against his illusions from the moment they appeared, preventing him from finding a good opportunity.

Now, the indiscriminate poisonous fog attack of the Ten Thousand Serpents has created a good opportunity for him, allowing him to temporarily control Xin Ya.

Of course, we should also thank him for his relentless provocations.

If he hadn't kept pressing Xin Ya, the other party wouldn't have lost his mind and been led by the nose, ultimately allowing him to seize this opportunity.

In fact, with his abilities, he could have easily moved among the crowd and caused even greater total damage.

But he still didn't do it.

As for why...

It's very simple. There's a saying that goes, "It's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten."

Rather than attacking everyone and only causing minor damage to each one, it's better to concentrate and take care of one at a time.

If you're lucky, you might even get a helper.

From the very beginning, after recognizing Xin Ya's identity, he set his sights on him.

After all, the other party was unpopular throughout Ryuchi-dong.

This situation will not disappear just because they are carrying out a mission together.

Therefore, the other party is the easiest for him to take down.

This is what he thinks and does.

And as it turned out, his idea was correct.

And so, Xin Ya was temporarily subdued by him.

As for why it's temporary control instead of permanent control?
Firstly, his Mangekyou Sharingan simply doesn't have that ability.

Secondly, although Shinya was not a high-ranking member of Ryuchi Cave, he possessed Sage Chakra within him that even Ichikishima-hime and Takitsu-hime could not match.

Everything in the ninja world is built upon chakra.

The effectiveness of illusion magic depends, to some extent, on the difference in strength between the two sides.

When the skill levels are similar (one or two levels apart), chakra is a panacea, capable of completely negating some of the effects of genjutsu.

That's only because of him. If it were anyone else, even if Xin Ya stood here and let the other party control him, the other party wouldn't be able to control him for long.

Even he was consuming a lot of chakra while controlling the other party.

However, with his current chakra reserves of over 37 million, such a consumption, while not a drizzle, is nothing special.

Not to mention, before coming here, he had restored his own condition, and there were still 50 million points of chakra in the alternate dimension between his eyebrows.

If it were to fuse with the 30 million points of natural energy within the abdominal dimension, and then absorb some more natural energy from the outside, transforming all of its chakra into Sage Chakra, its durability would be even greater.

Therefore, he is not worried about controlling the consumption of Xinya.

He could even control his opponent in battle. With this in mind, Qingming wasted no time and immediately launched an attack on Ichikishima-hime.

The reason why it was chosen as the second target...

The main reason is that her Sage Art, which forcibly absorbs chakra, is more threatening to him than the 'Sage Art: Binding' that Takitsuhime needs to bite to activate.

Although this threat isn't very significant, a threat is a threat nonetheless. Since we've decided to take action against them, we should naturally choose the one with the greater threat.

As for the ten thousand snakes...

The enemy's poisonous fog was still somewhat useful to him for the time being.

Furthermore, its strength is the weakest among the enemy forces.

Therefore, it's perfectly acceptable to leave it until the very end.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts, focused his mind, and used the Byakugan's X-ray vision to control Xinya, who, along with the opponent, attacked Ichikishima-hime from the left and right.

With its massive size, Xin Ya was impossible to hide once it moved.

At first, Princess Ichikishima thought the other party was chasing Aomyou.

However, she realized something was wrong when Xin Ya charged straight at her.

It seems that Xin Ya's screams, which had been ringing out intermittently, have also disappeared.

Thinking of Qingming's Mangekyou Sharingan, a bad thought flashed through Ichikishima-hime's mind, and she immediately used her invisibility ability.

At the same time, the person floated to the side.

However, Xin Ya arrived close and, without hesitation, immediately activated the 'Petrification' magic towards her current hiding place.

Seeing the large puddle of clear liquid splashed in her face, Princess Ichikishima's expression turned extremely ugly.

However, she did not dodge.

As you can see, when the liquid touched her body, the Sage Chakra within it was completely absorbed by him.

Therefore, its petrification effect would naturally be ineffective.

Seeing this, Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he directly controlled Xin Ya to bite and entangle Ichikishima-hime.

Princess Ichikishima watched as Shinya emerged from the poisonous fog, noticing the Sharingan mark in his remaining left eye, and thought to herself, "Just as I thought!"

Just now, when Xin Ya charged straight at her, she guessed that Xin Ya might have been controlled.

To this end, she even used her invisibility ability to test the waters.

Don't assume this technique is commonplace just because the three goddesses all possess invisibility.

Not really!

Even in Ryuchi Cave, this is an extremely rare immortal technique, not only for its outstanding effects but also for its notoriously high learning difficulty.

At the very least, that hot-tempered guy, Xin Ya, wouldn't do that.

In the past, when they got tired of this guy, they would use this ability to avoid him.

But what just happened?

It attacked her without hesitation, and its target was exceptionally accurate.

It is obvious that he knows her location.

This is clearly something the other party cannot do.

Therefore, she immediately connected the information that Tianxin Shenji had mentioned about Qingming possibly possessing the Byakugan.

From this, it's not hard to deduce that the other party has been controlled by Qingming.

Now, seeing the Sharingan mark in the other person's pupils, she knew she had guessed correctly.

Thinking that Qingming might be hiding nearby, Princess Ichikishima immediately became extremely alert.

Then, while dodging the biting attacks of the sharp teeth, she remained vigilant about her surroundings.

This made her look as if she were being overpowered by Xin Ya.
