Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 522 Reaction
Seeing Qingming's serious expression and his reluctance to speak, Kobayashi Shunji finally calmed down and asked cautiously, "Captain, what's wrong?"

"Oh~"

Qing Ming was awakened by the other party's voice and waved his hand, "Nothing!"

Indeed, the Hidden Mist Village will definitely react after learning the news.

In fact, it's not just the Kirigakure Village. The same will also happen to the Iwagakure Village, which is currently at war with Konoha in the Rain Country, and the Kumogakure Village, which is on the other side and is constantly in friction with Konoha.

But so what?

The general trend in the ninja world is peace. After more than two years, almost three years of war, everyone, whether ordinary people or ninjas, are tired of war.

In this situation, even if the leaders of these villages wanted to continue the war, it would be unlikely.

Besides, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and the reactions of other villages will naturally be dealt with by the Konoha leaders. He is just a small soldier, why should he worry so much?
Thinking of this, Qing Ming suddenly felt relaxed all over.

He instructed Kobayashi Shunji to arrange tonight's night duty and patrol and not to be careless, then returned to his temporary residence.

Qing Ming did not waste time and energy joining the ninja's carnival outside. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep quickly.

······
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming woke up from his sleep.

After quickly washing up, he arranged today's tasks for his subordinates as usual, and then planned to go out to practice on his own.

However, at this moment, a messenger Chunin suddenly came from outside the temporary camp and found him.

When he saw the other person for the first time, Qing Ming thought something big had happened. His heart skipped a beat and he thought his training plan for the day would be ruined. It was not until the other person handed a secret letter to him that he glanced through it and finally felt relieved.

The secret letter contained two main contents. One was to formally inform him of the ceasefire between the village and the Sand Village.

According to the letter, the top leaders of both sides have reached a preliminary consensus and a peace agreement will be formally concluded in the next one or two days.

Secondly, he was told that the village would mobilize the Sand Village frontline troops to come for support in at least a week and at most half a month, and that he should be careful to guard against a counterattack from the Kirigakure during this period.

Qingming didn't care much about guarding against counterattacks. After all, there were more Konoha ninjas stationed near Yuzu Port than just him and his men.

Now, on this battlefield, at least 80% of the Konoha ninjas are nearby, and every day there are countless pairs of white eyes staring at the Mist ninjas in Yuzu Port.

No matter what unusual movements the other party makes, they will be able to detect it at the first moment.

So, there is no need for him to worry about it.

What actually concerned him was the arrival of the support troops.

Perhaps by then, he could leave this battlefield and return to the Blackrock Stronghold, or even the Eagle's Beak Cliff Stronghold.

Compared to the battlefield here, he still prefers those two strongholds.

Firstly, there aren't many ninjas with special abilities among the friendly forces over there, so he doesn't have to worry too much when doing things, which is more convenient.

Secondly, the enemies over there are weaker, making it more suitable for him to harvest chakra.

It just so happens that the improvement of many of his skills requires the replenishment of external chakra, and those people will be good targets.

However, all of this still needs to wait for the arrival of support troops and Nara Keiko's arrangements. There is no point in thinking too much about it now.

Putting all these thoughts into his mind for the time being, Qing Ming put away the secret letter and said to the messenger Chunin in front of him: "Okay, I have received the letter, you can go back and report."

"Yes, Captain Qingming!"

The Chunin responded and immediately used the 'Flash Body Technique' to disappear.

Looking at his departing back, Qingming also planned to leave.

But after just two steps, he turned back. Although most people in the camp had already known about the ceasefire, it was just gossip. Since he had received the official notice, he still told them.

“I just wonder if they will get excited again this time?”

Qingming thought so in his heart.

As it turned out, he had underestimated the Konoha people's desire for peace. When he officially announced the news, the camp became restless again as expected.

Looking at the extremely excited people, Qing Ming shook his head, asked them to strengthen their vigilance, then left the camp, came to the woods again, and began his own practice.

······
In a blink of an eye, another four days have passed.

It was noon on the fifth day.

On this day, Qingming was practicing as usual when suddenly an eagle's cry was heard.

In an instant, Qingming opened his eyes and looked up, only to see an eagle circling above his head, crying from time to time.

After circling for a few times, it seemed to confirm his position, and immediately dived in front of him.

Seeing the eagle, Qingming's expression changed slightly.

There was no other reason. He knew this eagle. It was the summoned beast of one of his Chunins and also the channel for him to communicate with the camp.

If it is not necessary, the other party will never disturb him.

But once the other party does this, it means that something big must have happened in the camp.

Combined with the tense atmosphere in recent days, Qing Ming probably guessed what happened.

Without any delay, Qing Ming grabbed the eagle in front of him and took out a rolled-up note from the mailbox on its leg.

After opening it, I saw a few simple words written on it: The Mist Ninja is attacking, return quickly!

When Qing Ming saw these six words, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

Ever since the news of the ceasefire between Konoha and the Sand Village spread, the Mist Ninjas in Aburatsu Port have been ready to make a move.

But two days ago, after the two sides actually signed the peace agreement, the other side seemed even more restless.

From then on, Qingming knew that the other party would definitely launch an attack.

Now it seems that it is just as he expected.

After two days of patience, the other party finally completed its preparations and began to attack them.

However, Qingming did not feel very nervous.

There is no other reason. With his current strength, even if Konoha is completely defeated, the other party will not be able to do anything to him.

So, what is there for him to be nervous about?

On the contrary, Qing Ming thought that this might be an opportunity for him.

You know, many of his skills are now waiting for chakra!

If you can take advantage of the opportunity to reap a wave, it is not realistic to upgrade all these skills to the perfect level, but it is still possible to improve them by only one or two levels.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer wasted time, let go of the eagle in his hand, and then canceled the "Shadow Clone Technique".

In an instant, all the shadow clones that were practicing in the surrounding forest disappeared.

Qingming's mind now has a lot of cultivation experience and memories.

Closing his eyes, Qing Ming quickly absorbed and digested these training experiences and memories, and after completely converting them into the proficiency of the corresponding skills, he performed "Wind Style: Wind Wings" and "Chakra Feather Robe", and flew towards the camp at an extremely fast speed.
