Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 543 Follow-up
That afternoon.

After the meeting, Qing Ming, Nobuhisa Sano and others each wrote a report and sent it to Nara Qiguang urgently.

In the report, Qing Ming told the whole story of the incident, including the actions of the Root Organization.

However, he did not directly state that he knew the identities of these people, but only mentioned that a group of unidentified people attacked him.

In addition, he did not say in the report how he discovered the other party.

However, what he meant was that these people were on his side, and there had been a serious leak of intelligence in this operation.

In this way, if Nara Qiguang still wants to command other people, he must give him an explanation.

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, who would dare to take the task?
Obviously, Qing Ming was putting pressure on the other party by doing this.

With Nara Keimitsu's intelligence, from the information he provided and some other clues, it is not difficult to guess that Danzo and his Root organization are behind this incident.

After all, the other party had already noticed something before this mission, so it didn't make sense that they wouldn't be able to find out anything after getting more clues.

Even if Danzo cut off the clues and there was no evidence, he should be able to guess the whole story.

In this way, whether it is to give an explanation to Qingming or to appease others, he must put pressure on the village.

Of course, Qingming also knew that it would be impossible to defeat Danzo by doing this, but as long as the Third Generation could restrict the opponent's actions, that would be enough.

Anyway, time is on his side. When the war is over, he will find an opportunity to kill him and the matter will be resolved.

In addition, his implicit expression of dissatisfaction can also make them relax their vigilance and think that what they do is still within the rules.

In this way, when he makes a move, he can catch the opponent off guard.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and after Qingming submitted the report, he no longer paid attention to these things.

When it comes down to it, the ninja world is ruled by fists. If he has this much free time, he might as well practice more!

It just so happened that traveling and fighting had wasted quite a bit of his time today, and now it was time to make up for it.

With this thought, Qing Ming immediately flew out of the Black Stone Stronghold and came to the familiar dense forest to the west. He then performed the "Shadow Clone Technique" and began his own practice.

While he was practicing, Nara Keimitsu received the report from him and Sano Nobuhisa. After reading it quickly, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Just as Qingming expected, based on the report he submitted and some doubts in the intelligence, Nara Qiangguang quickly figured out the truth of the matter.

"Come again."

He grumbled in dissatisfaction.

With Nara Keiko's wisdom, he could easily figure out that this was another action by the Root organization against the Uchiha clan.

Nara Qiguang still remembers that five months ago, when Qingming and his group were on their way to support, they were ambushed by the Mist Ninja because of Danzo's deliberate disclosure of the secret.

At that time, he also wrote a letter to the Third Hokage, asking him to take care of Danzo.

It hasn't been a few months since the situation calmed down and the other party is causing trouble again.

This made Nara Keiko very dissatisfied.

Of course, his dissatisfaction was not because he was standing up for Qingming or the Uchiha clan, but because he felt that Danzo's behavior could easily disrupt his plans and cause loopholes in his defense.

If the Mist Ninja took the opportunity to cause some trouble, he would be the one to clean up the mess in the end.

In addition, such repeated leaks of information will invisibly reduce his prestige, and his subordinates may not put in any effort in responding to any orders he gives in the future.

Nara Keiko would never allow this to happen.

The war is about to end. If something goes wrong now, he will be the sinner.

"hateful!"

Cursing silently, Nara Keiko put down the report in his hand and wrote to the Third Hokage again, asking him to take care of Danzo. ······
The next day.

in the afternoon.

Konoha.

The headquarters base of the root.

Danzo walked into his office with a gloomy face.

Sitting on the chair behind the table, he squinted his eyes, looked at the two people below, and said lightly: "Tell me, why did the operation fail?"

Although his voice was calm, anyone present could hear the anger contained in it.

I don't blame him for this, he just felt aggrieved.

Not long ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen called him to the Hokage's office and questioned him about the actions in the Hidden Mist battlefield. He also sternly warned him not to target the Uchiha clan again, especially that Uchiha brat.

He said that the pressure on the front line was very high, and if he continued to do this, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among some senior ninjas.

This made Danzo furious.

Why did he do that?
It’s all for the village!
The Uchiha clan is an inherently evil clan. If we allow them to grow stronger, the village will definitely be destroyed because of them in the end.

If we don't take advantage of the current chaotic situation to eliminate those potential kids, what will happen when they grow up and cause harm to the village?
Everything he did was for the village.

As a result, Hiruzen continued to warn him again and again.

"hateful!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier Danzo became.

Fortunately, a Root ninja below spoke at this time, temporarily bringing his sanity back.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, based on the information provided by Kusang and our subsequent investigation, we can basically confirm that the failure of this operation is because Uchiha Qingming discovered our arrangement in advance and took the initiative to attack, resulting in most of the means we prepared not being used, so we failed."

The so-called 'Kusang' is actually the name of the summoned beast of the Root Jonin who is good at water-style ninjutsu, that thing that looks like a sloth.

Not long ago, the Root once again used the contract scroll to arrange for one person to contract with the other party, thereby gaining some information about that battle.

However, Danzo was not very satisfied with his answer and asked directly: "Even if we fought head-on, with the 'Four Life Seal Formation', how did that brat escape?"

"Your Excellency, according to the information provided by Kusang, Uchiha Qingming did not escape the shackles of the Four Life Sealing Array. He waited until He and the others were drained of their vitality by the seal, and then he began to fight back."

Another Root ninja replied.

"what?"

Danzo was shocked when he heard this.

He was very clear about the effect of the 'Four Life Sealing Array'. To be frank, even if he was trapped in it, facing the siege of several Root ninjas, he would not be able to hold out for that long.

At this point, Danzo was fully alert.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. After he calmed down, he said, "A, tell me everything right now."

Before, he only listened to the results, but now, he must understand the whole story.

Only in this way can the most accurate judgment be made.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, A responded and then began to narrate his investigation results in detail without missing any details.
