Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 559: Reconciliation and Escape
A few minutes later.

The Konoha reconnaissance team came to Qingming. Qingming knew the special ninja in the lead. His name was Iwata Kazuki, and he was a ninja who was good at intelligence gathering and perception.

Iwata Ikki saw Qingming and quickly asked, "Qingming Jonin, what on earth happened here?"

As he spoke, he glanced around.

It can be seen that a great battle had just taken place here not long ago. Although there may have been only two people involved, the battle was extremely fierce.

Looking at the pile of ashes under Qingming's feet, Iwata Kazuki basically understood the fate of his enemy.

But what he wanted to ask was not what had just happened on the battlefield, but what had happened in this entire area over the past period of time?
In fact, they set out from their stronghold not long after the battle started.

But they hurried on and finally did not encounter the enemy. Instead, they saw many traces of battle along the way.

They even saw several bodies of Kirigakure Chunin that had been cut in half in the area where the fighting was most intense.

In this way, combined with what he saw along the way, Iwata Kazaki has roughly guessed the whole story, but Qingming still needs to confirm it in the end.

After all, he was the one who witnessed all of this.

Hearing his question, Qing Ming withdrew his gaze from Hinata Ling, then looked at Iwata Kazuki and said, "About ten minutes ago, when I was on routine patrol, I found a small group of Mist Ninjas here. From the looks of them, they were planning to raid the base, so I took action. The noise just now was me and them fighting."

That’s right, Qing Ming pushed back the time when he discovered the Mist Ninja by dozens of minutes, and he also did not explain why he took action without reporting to the stronghold.

However, now that the enemies have been dealt with by him, these problems are no longer a problem.

After all, if one must explain it, it could be that he thought this place was close enough to the Black Stone stronghold and no special notification was necessary.

In other words, he thought he was strong enough and there was no need to ask for support.

Wait ~
In short, the enemy is already dead, so it's time to eat and drink.

As if he had understood the meaning behind Qing Ming's words, Iwata Kazuki skipped these questions and began to ask about the enemy's strength and number, as well as the process of the fight.

Qing Ming did not hide anything and answered in detail.

As for the subsequent investigation and evidence collection, analysis of enemy intentions, etc., Qingming does not need to participate.

Therefore, after completing a brief exchange, he lifted the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and returned to his original body with the corresponding memories.

······
the other side.

Qingming was flying, and suddenly some memories appeared in his mind.

After quickly browsing through it, he muttered, "He's quite sensible!"

Seeing that Iwata Kazuki did not get to the bottom of some things, Qingming was very satisfied and decided that if he encountered the other party in danger in the future, he could rescue him appropriately.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming quickly put all these things behind him, turned around, and flew towards the northwest with all his strength.

Just now, he received a message from another shadow clone, who found a lone Mist Ninja team on the battlefield northwest of the Black Stone Stronghold and asked him to rush over immediately.

Thanks to the super-fast flying speed of "Wind Style: Wind Wings", even though the two sides are dozens of kilometers apart, it does not prevent Qingming from seizing this opportunity.

In about two minutes but less than three minutes, Qing Ming arrived near the target location.

Before he got close to there, Qingming concentrated his attention and opened the white eyes between his eyebrows.

Suddenly, everything within a one-kilometer radius came into his sight.

Qingming quickly looked towards the area that the shadow clone mentioned, and sure enough, he saw three Mist Ninjas there—one special jonin and two chuunins.

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just experienced a big battle and were taking a short rest.

Qing Ming used the "telepathic technique" to connect with the shadow clone that had just sent him a message. In order not to alert the enemy, the other party did not stay nearby.

Now, people are already over other battlefields.

However, Qingming contacted the other party not to ask for his support. They were just a jonin and two chuunins. With his strength, he could easily deal with them.

He contacted them just to find out whether these three people had just experienced a big battle as he expected.

If that were the case, then he could be more radical.

After a few breaths, Qingming stopped the "heart communication technique".

Just as he expected, these people had indeed experienced a great battle not long ago. It was for this reason that they were discovered by the shadow clone.

'In that case.'

Qing Ming did not waste any more time and directly performed the 'Earth Escape·Hardening Technique' and the 'Chakra Feather Robe'. After putting on two layers of protection for himself, he flew at full speed towards the place where the three people were hiding.

······
below.

In the forest.

Yuhua is treating her injuries.

Thinking back to the battle just now, if she hadn't had a sudden inspiration at the end and used the "water clone" to deceive the opponent, she would probably be dead now.

But, if she could fool him once, could she fool him twice or three times?

This time she was lucky and met an opponent with poor perception, but what about next time?

If she suddenly encountered an opponent with strong perception, wouldn't she be dead?
Even if we don't encounter such an opponent, when will this meaningless war end? Is it going to go on like this?

For some reason, Yuhua felt confused about her future.

Unlike ninjas from other ninja villages, the mental state of ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village is generally not very good because the village has implemented a high-pressure policy all year round.

This might not seem to have any consequences under normal circumstances, but there is a great terror between life and death. Yuhua, who had just experienced a life-and-death situation, obviously began to have wild thoughts.

And just when she was distracted, a breath of air violently broke into her perception range.

Instantly, she shuddered, quickly stood up, and was about to ask her two Chunin subordinates to be on guard.

However, before she could open her mouth, Qingming appeared in her sight.

"Ghost Sword Qingming?!"

In an instant, Yuhua recognized Qingming's identity.

So she ran away without any hesitation.

That's right, she escaped.

She didn't even alert her two subordinates. She turned around and ran away almost the moment she recognized Qingming.

In the sky, seeing this scene, even Qing Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: "Am I that scary? And, do you have to be so cowardly?"

Although the opponent is a relatively rare female ninja, she shouldn't be so weak!

In fact, Qingming didn't know that Yuhua had a problem with her thinking. It was just the appearance of this unmatched opponent that caused her to react instinctively.

If he escapes, he will most likely become a new rebel ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

There is no way, the blood mist policy of the Hidden Mist Village is indeed too perverted.

If a ninja trained in this way has any ideological problems, it is almost inevitable that he will become a rebellious ninja.

However, this is based on the premise that he can escape.

Qingming withdrew his gaze from Yuhua and stopped thinking about it. He flapped his wings violently, and like a flash of lightning, he landed in front of the two Kirigakure Chunins who had just stood up.

Qingming's palm turned into a knife, and the "Chakra Scalpel" was instantly performed, cutting off the muscles of one of the men's right hands, causing the kunai he had just taken out to fall to the ground.

At the same time, he turned his head to the right and looked at the other person. At the moment their eyes met, he cast the 'Illusion Sharingan' and controlled the other person in place.

The Kirigakure Chunin who had lost control of his right arm wanted to struggle, but Qingming grabbed his neck.

The 'Chakra Absorption Technique' that had been prepared long ago was performed. In just a few seconds, Qing Ming drained his chakra, mental energy, and physical energy.

bang~
Leaving his body falling to the ground, Qing Ming flashed to the other person and started to extract his chakra by doing the same thing.

A few seconds later, another body fell to the ground.

Qing Ming raised his hands and formed seals, then habitually performed the "Fire Style: Burning Technique", burning the bodies of the two men.

After doing all this, he used the "Telekinesis Technique" without any hesitation and chased in the direction where Yuhua left.
