Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1229 Solution
"not good!"

Seeing Qingming suddenly disappear, the two Sand Ninja on the other side of the explosion changed their expressions and immediately took out their kunai, preparing to deal with Qingming's attack.

However, once Qingming got serious, their strength was simply no match for him.

Hey~
A crisp metallic clang rang out, and one of the Sand Ninja turned around in time, using his kunai to block Qingming's attack.

But that's all.

The next moment, the instant the two locked eyes, Qingming activated the hypnotic ability of his Sharingan.

The Sand Ninja in front of him was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses again, he heard a startled shout beside him: "Watch out!"

'Huh, isn't that Ike's voice? Watch out? Watch out for what?'

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the Sand Ninja's brain seemed to rust and remained unresponsive.

Just as he was about to delve into deep thought, a strong feeling of suffocation came over him.

Immediately following was a sore throat.

Instinctively, the Sand Ninja covered his neck.

A sticky, slippery feeling came over me.

'This is blood?!'

Having killed many people and suffered many injuries, the Sand Ninja immediately realized what this was.

At the same time, he finally saw Qingming's figure in his eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered everything.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The intense feeling of suffocation gradually blurred his consciousness. His eyes bulged as he looked at Qingming in front of him, his eyes filled with hatred.

However, beyond this hatred, there was an unconcealable fear—the fear of death.

Unfortunately, these blue spirits can no longer be seen.

After confirming that the person in front of him had no hope of survival, he used a 'Body Flicker Technique' to appear in front of another Sand Ninja.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~
Because of the lessons learned from the two teammates, this Sand Ninja named Ikesuke finally put up some decent resistance.

But it's just a little bit.

Ultimately, he was just a puppeteer skilled in manipulating puppets. His close combat ability might be slightly stronger than that of an average Chunin, but only by a limited margin.

Therefore, after only a few rounds, he was stabbed through the abdomen by Qingming with his long sword.

A sharp pain shot through him, and the Sand Ninja coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Looking down at his injuries, Chi Jie knew he was not going to survive.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the mechanism in his hand and shouted, "Let's die together!"

Click~click~
Two sounds, like the opening of a mechanism, rang out.

The next moment, his two forearms shot out, heading straight for Qingming's face and chest.

Moreover, during flight, it transformed into a spider, growing six sharp legs, each with a sharp barb at the tip.

It is foreseeable that if these six sharp feet were to pierce the body, they would not be able to be easily pulled out without hooking out several pieces of flesh.

Clearly, this design is intended to prevent it from falling off.

So why do we need to prevent it from falling off?
The answer was simple. Qingming's three tomoe eyes darted around rapidly. He could clearly see that a thin needle was popping out simultaneously from the abdomens of the two puppet spiders.

The needle gleamed with a purple light, clearly indicating that it was coated with a potent poison.

Qingming could almost imagine that once the two puppet spiders pounced on him, the poisonous needles on their abdomens would pierce his skin and penetrate his flesh, poisoning him.

The poisoning process is gradual, which is why there is a design to prevent it from falling off.

It can be said that one link leads to another.

Faced with this move, others might actually fall for it.

At that time, even if they don't die, they will lose their fighting ability.

But Qingming is different.

Putting aside the fact that with his current accumulated poison resistance and the powerful recovery ability brought by his 44 points of 'Constitution' attribute, even if he were to be poisoned, this amount of toxin wouldn't be able to harm him. Even considering the process itself, it wasn't without its flaws.

With the presence of the three-tomoe Sharingan, the opponent's attack was indeed swift, but he had noticed the incoordination in the opponent's hands during the exchange.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he was prepared for the unexpected to happen.

Sure enough, the moment the mechanism on his arm activated, he escaped the spider's attack range.

Therefore, their final counterattack was ineffective.

Seeing his attack miss, Chi Jie's eyes showed a look of unwillingness, but there was no further action.

His injuries were so severe that his eyes quickly lost their sparkle.

Qingming's gaze didn't linger on him for long; he was just a nobody, not worth wasting any more time on.

He looked up and saw Uchiha Shisui fighting against the captain of the Sunagakure squad on the other side.

As expected, the Sand Village Jonin on the other side was being completely suppressed by Uchiha Shisui, and in a short time, he had already suffered several wounds.

Given the current situation, Uchiha Shisui could kill his opponent within a few dozen moves at most.

However, seemingly sensing the commotion on his side, the Sand Village captain's movements became momentarily uncoordinated.

This small flaw wouldn't matter if it were someone else.

Unfortunately, he was facing Uchiha Shisui, who had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and was himself very experienced in combat.

Therefore, there is only one outcome for him—death.

Even though Uchiha Shisui has only activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, this is still the case.

Because that was enough for him to spot the flaw.

puff~
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

Uchiha Shisui and the Sand Village captain stood facing each other, very close to each other, and from the side, it looked as if they were whispering to each other.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that Uchiha Shisui's kunai had pierced the heart of this Sunagakure captain.

brush~
Uchiha Shisui flashed away, creating distance between himself and the Sand Village captain.

Blood gushed from his chest, and the Sand Village captain collapsed to the ground in despair.

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the other party, then flashed to Qingming's side again. He looked at the Sand Ninja rapidly closing in and asked, "What do we do next?"

"Ha~"

Qingming chuckled and shrugged, saying, "What else can we do? One word: kill!"

As he spoke, he had already chosen a direction and was running forward.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui thought for a moment and also felt that there was no possibility of negotiation between the two sides, so he also chose a direction and rushed forward.

As for meeting up with others
Neither of them mentioned it.

It's not that the two look down on their teammates, but rather that there's no need for it.

The two battlefields were not far apart to begin with, and now that the two of them have taken care of all four puppeteers on this side, the battle on the other side should also be over.

In this way, once they see the choices made by the two of them, they will naturally understand their thoughts and then cooperate with them.

Before Qingming could even engage the Sand Ninja in battle, two Anbu members had already arrived.

Qingming glanced at the two out of the corner of his eye and noticed that one of them was the Inuzuka clan ninja with the dog, and the other was...
Based on its behavior on the road, Qingming estimated that it should be an insect manipulator from the Aburame clan.

Both of them have methods to assist in combat, and their overall combat strength is much stronger than that of a typical special jonin who is good at reconnaissance and perception.

By bringing in these two to cooperate, it's clear that Yamato wants more than just stabilizing the situation on his side; he wants to achieve substantial results and ultimately support other directions.

Coincidentally, Qingming thought the same thing.

Although he didn't want to reveal too much of his strength, he was getting annoyed by the constant probing. His time was very precious and he couldn't afford to waste it on such meaningless battles.

so.
Let's deal with these supplies first, then wait for the main character to show up!

With this thought in mind, Qingming stopped in his tracks.
