Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1230 Cooperation
'what's the situation? ’

Seeing Qingming suddenly stop, the two secret agents following behind him, not understanding why, also stopped.

Just as they were about to ask Qing Xiang what he was doing, they saw him raise his hands and begin forming hand seals.

Then, a powerful surge of chakra emanated from his body.

This sheer pressure alone forced the two of them to retreat.

The Inuzuka clan ninja was one thing, but the ninja dog beside him let out a low whimper.

The Aburame clan ninja, however, was in a much worse situation.

At this moment, the worms inside his body seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, trembling with fear, which greatly affected him as well.

If he were to make a move now, he probably wouldn't be able to unleash even two or three tenths of his full strength.

Sensing this situation, the special Jonin of the Aburame clan, hidden behind his mask, looked at Qingming with disbelief in his eyes.

Although he had already sensed Qingming's immense strength from the subtle reactions of the insects on the way there.

But at that time, he could still control his insects.

But now?

He tried to move them, and the insects seemed to be terrified, only daring to tremble inside his body and not daring to come out at all.

He had only encountered this situation once before, and that was the night the Nine-Tails appeared a few years ago.

Back then, he wanted to control the insects to deal with the Nine-Tailed Fox, but the insects refused him outright. The situation back then was exactly the same as it is now.

'Could it be that Uchiha Aomine also has a tailed beast inside him?'

Yu Nu Zhihui was startled by his own thought.

But he quickly ruled out that possibility.

There was no other reason than that, although his insects were now trembling with fear, through his communication with them, he could confirm that the chakra he had just experienced was not that of a tailed beast.

Regardless of whether it's the chakra of a tailed beast, one thing is certain: Qingming is very strong, extremely strong.

This gave him a glimmer of hope to survive.

Even so, ANBU ninjas are still ninjas. Suddenly facing so many Sand Ninja ambushes, and Orochimaru hiding somewhere, they would also feel worried.

Now that Qingming, a master, is around, his chances of survival have increased.

Qingming was unaware of what Yu Nu Zhihui was thinking behind him.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

On the way, the insects inside him did not realize how terrifying he was because he had controlled his immense chakra and contained it within his own body.

Now is the time for release.

With his hands forming a hand seal, Qingming looked at the group of Sand Ninja who had also stopped and were preparing to form hand seals, and slowly opened his mouth.

The next moment, a gust of wind spewed out of his mouth.

Initially, its power was relatively average.

But as it moved forward, it quickly transformed into a tornado, carrying with it the surrounding yellow sand and blowing it all towards the group of Sand Ninja in the distance.

Seeing this scene that resembled a natural disaster, the Sand Ninja involuntarily stopped their hand seals.

There's no other reason than that even if they joined forces, they might not be able to stop such a powerful ninjutsu.

Of course, the most crucial point is that there isn't enough time.

Although Qingming took a little longer to form hand seals this time in order to mobilize more chakra.

However, it wouldn't be too fast for the Sand Ninja to join forces and unleash a ninjutsu.

Thus, with Qingming striking first, these Sand Ninja had no time to resist.

"Disperse!"

A loud shout came from the Sand Ninja team.

The next moment, the Sand Ninja used various methods to dodge to the sides.

It was clear that they weren't too panicked.

There was no other way; as ninjas living in a desert environment, these Sand Ninjas were all too familiar with extreme weather like sandstorms.

Therefore, there are many ways to avoid it. As a result, there is not much fear.

However, Qingming didn't expect to completely break the enemy's morale with a single ninjutsu; all he needed was for these people to disperse.

Thus, without a formation and without mutual support, he could easily defeat them one by one with his strength.

With that in mind, Qingming turned around and said to the two secret agents behind him, "You two should try your best to force the enemy to separate, without trying to kill them."

"Yes!"

Behind them, Shiki Aburame and the special Jonin of the Inuzuka clan immediately snapped out of their daze upon hearing this and instinctively responded in unison.

Seeing their formality, Qingming paused for a moment, but didn't pay much attention. He drew his long sword from his waist and charged towards the group of Sand Ninja.

Seeing this, Aburame Shiki and the Inuzuka clan ninja exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then split into left and right, with Qingming as the arrowhead, and charged towards the Sand Ninja team.

On the Sand Village side, someone noticed Qingming's movements and immediately raised their hands to form hand seals, unleashing an Earth Release ninjutsu. In a flash, they burrowed underground, attempting to approach Qingming from below and launch an attack.

With his Azure Sharingan fully activated, he keenly noticed the opponent's subtle movements.

Therefore, they immediately focused some of their attention on their feet.

Soon, he sensed a chakra fluctuation.

Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized his chakra and, while running, suddenly stomped hard on the ground.

With this kick, he injected a large amount of Earth Release chakra into the earth, making the sand within a radius of tens of meters as hard as iron.

He vaguely heard a muffled groan.

Ignoring everything else, Qingming continued running forward.

The two sides were not far apart, so Qingming quickly arrived in front of the Sand Ninja team.

He dodged the kunai thrown by several Sand Ninja.

Then, Qingming directly used the 'Instant Sword Technique', turning into a blur and appearing in front of a Sand Village ninja.

Unlike the four Sand Village puppeteers who initially ambushed them, the second wave of Sand Village ninjas varied in strength.

Like the Sand Ninja in front of him, who was just an ordinary Chunin, he couldn't react at all to his sudden attack.

stab~
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang out.

With a single swing of his sword, Qingming sliced ​​the Sand Ninja in front of him in two, creating a scene of unspeakable bloodshed.

However, Qingming didn't even flinch at this.

To reiterate, this is a distorted world where killing and being killed happen all the time, and once you're on the battlefield, you have to be mentally prepared for this.

咻咻 咻 ~
Several shurikens came flying from the side.

It's clear that the person who launched this attack had a very precise grasp of timing, striking precisely when his old strength had dissipated and his new strength had not yet arisen.

Qingming glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and, sure enough, the one who launched the attack was a Jonin, and the very same Sand Village ninja who had initially given the order.

At this moment, it was rapidly approaching him, clearly intending to confine him to this place.

Unfortunately, Qingming didn't give him that chance at all.

He dodged the incoming shuriken.

Then, he swung his sword to block the kunai that the opponent was slashing horizontally.

Hey~
There was a clear sound of metal collision.

An extraordinary force emanated from the blade.

Clearly, this Sand Village Jonin had mastered a highly advanced taijutsu.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, Qingming used the force to suddenly create distance between himself and the Sand Village Jonin.

Seeing this, the Sand Village Jonin wanted to continue the pursuit.

But just then, a huge ninja dog pounced from the side, its sharp claws slicing straight at his neck.

Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily abandon his pursuit of Qingming and instead begin to deal with the ninja dog and the Inuzuka clan ninja behind it.

Seeing that he was entangled, Qingming did not hesitate at all. He immediately spotted another target and used the 'Instant Sword Technique' again to get closer.

At the same time, Aburame Shiki also released his parasitic insects, which began to disperse and attack the Sand Ninja in the field, trying to prevent them from gathering together as much as possible.
