Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 493 New Transfer Order and Turning Point

"Okay, we should go."

After absorbing all the chakra of the Mist Ninja, Qing Ming looked at the panting four-member Konoha team and spoke.

Upon hearing this, several Konoha ninjas didn't waste any time and immediately followed him and the eight shadow clones towards the stronghold.

Although a war would definitely break out between the two sides, they still had to go back first and determine their respective tasks before setting off again.

Only in this way can we maximize the strength of everyone.

The development of things was pretty much as Qingming had expected. As soon as he returned to the base, he was called over by Sano Nobuhisa.

However, there was no time for a meeting this time, or rather, everyone's tasks had basically been fixed over the past week or so.

Therefore, there is no need to go through such cumbersome procedures as holding meetings.

After meeting him, Nobuhisa Sano immediately assigned him a task.

As before, in addition to treating the wounded at night, they serve as a mobile force, responsible for supporting various battlefields at any time.

That’s right, this was his mission for the past week, and only in this way could he give full play to his flying advantages.

After receiving the mission, Qing Ming did not linger and immediately rushed to the first battlefield.

There were several teams fighting here. Because the Konoha side was caught off guard, they were at a disadvantage of being outnumbered, just like the reconnaissance team just now.

However, Qingming's appearance instantly changed the situation.

However, he did not immediately land and fight with the Mist Ninja as he did in the past. Instead, he took advantage of his air advantage and continuously performed various ninjutsu to launch long-range attacks on the Mist Ninja.

Not only that, on the ground, the shadow clones that followed him did not engage in too much close combat, but frequently used various ninjutsu to attack the enemy.

The reason why he did this was for one and only one purpose, which was to seize every opportunity to improve himself.

Admittedly, due to the needs of combat, he couldn't use the minimum amount of chakra every time to perform every ninjutsu or genjutsu and gain proficiency.

Doing so will inevitably waste some chakra.

However, Qingming can use this to save time in practicing various skills later.

And for him who can support himself by fighting, this is totally worth it.

Therefore, Qing Ming did not hesitate to consume chakra, and never hesitated when it came to performing powerful ninjutsu.

So, the battle was over soon.

Some Mist Ninjas and some Konoha Ninjas were killed in the battle, and the rest temporarily withdrew from the battle.

After doing all this, Qing Ming returned to the base. When there was no mission, he practiced the "Palm Immortal Technique" and the "Reflection Heart Technique". When there was a mission, he flew to different directions based on the intelligence to support his own ninjas there.

In this way, Qingming followed his plan, participating in the war while improving himself, and every day was extremely fulfilling.

And this battle was just as he expected, it was a sign that the Mist Ninjas of Feiyu Town would launch another attack.

In the next three days, they continued to attack the Blackrock stronghold in small teams, just like they did a week ago.

And Nobuhisa Sano also sent out small teams to fight.

On this small battlefield, the ninjas on both sides were like cold mindless machines. Following orders one after another, they fought and consumed each other as if there would never be an end in sight.

······
Time flies and it is the fourth day.

This morning.

Qing Ming hurriedly ate a few military pills to fill his stomach, then rushed to the meeting room to see if there were any new arrangements for today.

Originally, he thought he was just going through the motions.

I never thought that there would be new arrangements today.

Headquarters. In a small meeting room.

Sano Nobuhisa looked at Qingming and Uchiha Shisui in front of him, and finally said: "This is what happened. Captain Nara just sent a message asking you to rush to Yuzu Port together."

That's right, just now, Nara Keimitsu, the commander-in-chief in charge of Konoha's entire defense line facing the Hidden Mist Village, issued the latest transfer order, asking him and Uchiha Shisui to rush to Yuzu Port for support.

Although he had known the village's plan roughly from Sano Nobuhisa a long time ago, he also knew that if the southern defense line could not hold, Nara Keiko would most likely recruit senior ninjas from various strongholds to take over.

However, he really didn't expect that he and Uchiha Shisui would be drawn in the first round.

There were so many senior ninjas, but they were the only two chosen. This made Qingming think more and wonder if there was something fishy going on.

However, their strength is indeed very prominent among all the jonin, so it is normal for them to be selected.

Therefore, Qingming was not sure whether there was any problem here.

After thinking for a long time without any result, Qing Ming simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, with his current strength, he is not afraid of any conspiracy or intrigue.

So, let’s take it one step at a time!

Thinking this in his heart, Qing Ming gathered his thoughts, looked at Sano Nobuhisa again, and said, "When do we set off?"

"Right now."

Sano Nobuhisa replied.

Hearing this, Qing Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Are you so anxious?"

"Ah."

Nobuhisa Sano nodded seriously, and after a slight hesitation, he revealed some secret information to Qingming.

Then he whispered, "The Kirigakure may have noticed the village's plan. Since yesterday, they have suddenly increased their offensive. We were caught off guard and suffered some serious losses.

Right now, the southern defense line needs manpower to buy time, so I urgently summoned you over there."

Hearing this, Qingming suddenly understood.

Yes, judging from the news that came in earlier, although the fighting on the southern defense line was fierce, it had not yet reached the point where it was necessary to withdraw personnel from other strongholds.

Now, personnel are suddenly withdrawn without any warning. There must be an emergency, otherwise Nara Keiko would not have issued such an order.

You know, such transfer orders are not only sent to them, other strongholds will also receive them, and they will also need to dispatch personnel for support.

However, these strongholds are also under attack from the Mist Ninjas. Once too many of the senior ninjas who are the backbone or even the top force are withdrawn, it is very likely that these strongholds will fall.

Therefore, unless he had no other choice, Nara Keiko would definitely not issue such an order.

Before, Qingming was still confused, but now he finally understands.

"It seems that it was because of the information leak that Kirigakure learned about part of the village's plan, which led to all this."

All the doubts in his heart disappeared, and Qingming just felt relaxed all over.

After that, he talked with Nobuhisa Sano for a few more words, and then left the meeting room with Uchiha Shisui, preparing to pack up and go to Aburatsu Port together.

The so-called Yuzu Port is the gap in the southern defense line where the Kirigakure Village broke through.

And the main battlefield of the Kirigakure's attack on Konoha was there.

Qing Ming had a vague premonition that the next battle might very well be the turning point of this Ninja World War.

After this, this war may really come to an end.
