Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1248 Taking Down and Struggling

On the other side, seeing Qingming looking at him, Orochimaru grinned, then his figure flashed and he instantly hid behind the Third Kazekage, who had reformed his form.

Seeing this, Qingming withdrew his gaze, then controlled Susanoo to step out and flatten the Rashomon blocking his way, and pressed the third chakra tomoe in his palm toward the Third Kazekage in mid-air.

Boom~
A violent explosion sounded again.

Thanks to the time Orochimaru had bought him, the Third Kazekage was finally able to condense a thick iron sand shield to defend himself before the chakra tomoe hit him.

However, the power of each strike of 'Yasaka Magatama' is no less than that of a powerful A-rank ninjutsu.

Therefore, even though the Third Kazekage tried his best to control the iron sand for defense, he still couldn't stop his attack.

Amidst the violent aftershocks of the explosion, the Third Kazekage, relying on his immortality, stepped onto the iron sand and retreated rapidly, attempting to distance himself from Qingming.

However, having already unleashed Susanoo, how could Qingming possibly give him that chance again?

The next moment, a gust of wind swept by.

Then, Qingming controlled Susanoo and slashed out with a sword, shattering several sand iron shields and tearing the body of the Third Kazekage behind him to shreds once again.

Immediately afterwards, three more chakra magatama condensed in front of him, preparing to replicate the previous operation.

To prevent Orochimaru from causing trouble again, Qingming also controlled Susanoo and stomped on him.

That's right, his attack was that simple and brutal.

Orochimaru, who lacks the ability to fly, is far less agile than the Third Kazekage. Even though the Third Kazekage possesses a certain degree of self-preservation ability, he dares not ignore Orochimaru's attacks.

Sure enough, the moment Orochimaru stomped down, Orochimaru had no time to help the Third Kazekage. He had no choice but to use a ninjutsu to transform his feet into snake tails and run away at an extremely fast speed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming successfully launched two chakra tomoe, shattering the Third Kazekage's body twice in succession, and arriving in front of him the moment he condensed his body for the third time.

Without even needing to release the third chakra tomoe, he simply borrowed some of the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to create an opportunity to seal his opponent.

In mid-air, Qingming leaped up and appeared directly outside Susanoo.

Then, he rapidly formed hand seals and unleashed his self-created S-rank sealing technique—Heart-Sealing and Soul-Locking Contract Instantaneous Movement Seal!
In an instant, countless sealing techniques appeared on the Third Kazekage's body, completely sealing his impure body and soul.

From a distance, Orochimaru saw this scene and even considered recalling it.

Unfortunately, just like Danzo who was sealed away, his 'summoning technique' had no effect whatsoever.

Glancing at the other person, Qingming reached out and took out a scroll from the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

Then, he formed hand seals again and unleashed the 'Sealing of All Things in the World', sealing the Third Kazekage within the scroll.

With this, his first goal was accomplished.

Based on the experience he gained from Danzo, with this impure body, he should be able to extract at least 25 million points of chakra from the Pure Land every day without attracting the attention of the Sage of Six Paths.

Indeed, this amount of chakra was not much; compared to the chakra he needed for his daily training, it was just a drop in the ocean.

But how should I put it?

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat!

One day is 25 million chakra points, ten days is 250 million points, and a month is 750 million points.

This already exceeds the chakra he needs for a full day of training.

Now, he needs to rest every five days on average, which adds up to six days a month.

With 750 million points of chakra, he could easily turn one day of rest into a day of training.

In this way, little by little, it adds up to a considerable sum.

More importantly, that's not all!

Suddenly, Qingming looked up and gazed at Orochimaru in the distance.

If he could obtain the training method for 'Impure World Reincarnation' from the other party, he could create an Impure World Reincarnation body himself and thus exploit the Pure Land. Thinking this, Qingming did not hesitate at all, once again flashing into the body of Susanoo, and then controlling it to chase after Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru was incredibly fast at escaping, the Susanoo he conjured was over a hundred meters tall, and each stride covered tens of meters, making it impossible for Orochimaru to create any distance.

Moreover, Qingming wasn't just chasing after them recklessly.

During the pursuit, he condensed chakra tomoe and launched them at Orochimaru like cannonballs.

With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru's movements could be predicted, and the chakra tomoe he fired were extremely accurate.

This forced Orochimaru to rely solely on his on-the-spot reactions to evade, leading to numerous near-death experiences along the way.

Even so, he didn't use his Rinnegan because he was wary of some cunning old foxes in the ninja world secretly observing him.

Otherwise, a single "Time Control" attack, even if it couldn't force Orochimaru back to his original position, would at least stop him.

However, it's about time now.

Boom boom boom~
Violent explosions rang out continuously.

After dodging several attacks from the 'Yasaka Magatama', Orochimaru finally couldn't react in time and was forced into a desperate situation.

Seeing another chakra tomoe coming, Orochimaru had no choice but to use the 'Summoning Jutsu' again.

However, this time the opponent did not summon Rashomon, but instead summoned Manda.

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke exploded, Manda's enormous body appeared, 'just right' blocking Orochimaru's path.

Just as Manda emerged, it tried to ask Orochimaru for some benefits as usual, but the next moment, it sensed a deadly threat.

Almost instinctively, it performed the 'snake shedding technique'.

Boom~
A huge explosion sounded.

The chakra magatama fired by Qingming struck Manda, causing a violent explosion that stirred up a large cloud of dust.

The next moment, a shrill roar echoed through the sandstorm.

With a thought, Qingming's white eye, located between his brows, suddenly opened.

Then he saw Wanshe, whose body was covered in wounds.

Indeed, the opponent used the "Snake Shedding Technique" at the critical moment to save his life.

However, surviving does not mean it will not be injured.

Conversely, the opponent was caught off guard and indirectly hit by the 'Yasaka Magatama,' whose attack power was comparable to an A-rank ninjutsu, resulting in serious injuries.

Orochimaru~

A voice full of resentment came from the mouth of the giant snake. It completely ignored Qingming and stared intently at Orochimaru, who had summoned it, its eyes filled with killing intent.

However, Orochimaru completely ignored the other party, and simply formed hand seals again, once again using the 'Summoning Jutsu'.

Qingming saw the other party's movements through his white eye, but did not stop them.

There's no other reason than that whatever the other party summons is a good thing for him, even if it's the snake princesses from Ryuchi Cave.

Because this would only increase the number of his spare 'chakra batteries'.

Of course, it would be even better if the other party could summon Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju again.

In this way, he will have two more ways to fleece the Pure Land.

However, given his actions against the Third Kazekage, Orochimaru would most likely not do such a thing unless he's completely out of his mind.

This made Qingming feel a little regretful.
