Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 578 Thoughts and Speculations

Bang bang bang~
After everyone's excitement died down, Sano Nobuhisa clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I have something else to say!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly quieted down.

As the meeting room returned to silence, the smile on Nobuhisa Sano's face gradually disappeared and he began to look serious.

Seeing this, everyone immediately knew that what Nobuhisa Sano was going to say next was definitely not good news.

In fact, it is true.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "According to the news from the village, although we have reached a ceasefire agreement with the Iwagakure Village, the formal signing of the contract will take another week."

"A week from now?"

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but frown.

There is no other reason. The performance of Iwagakure Village in this negotiation is too awkward. You either simply don't agree to a ceasefire, and then both sides continue to fight, or you just settle the matter directly.

The results of it?
Not to mention the four rounds of negotiations that lasted for twenty days, the ceasefire has already been decided, and the signing of the agreement has been postponed to a week later. Isn't this simply making the night more troublesome?

No one present could think of the reason why the Iwagakure Village did this, but Qingming could guess a thing or two. It was simply that the opposition voices within the Iwagakure Village were too strong, forcing Ōnoki to compromise.

It is true that Ōnoki has an undisputed position in the Iwagakure Village and has a high prestige, but when it comes to issues like this that involve the interests of all parties, he can only try his best to balance them.

But Konoha couldn't allow him to delay indefinitely.

Therefore, this week and the previous ten days were most likely the product of a compromise between him, the opposition in the village, and Konoha.

Well.
Perhaps the radicals within Konoha Village should also be added.

In the memory of the previous life, Danzo seemed not to want to stop the war. At the end of the war, he led the Root Ninjas to disguise themselves as ninjas from other villages and stir up trouble in the powder keg of the Rain Country.

Even the first generation leader of Akatsuki, Yahiko, died as a result of his conspiracy.

Wait ~
Qing Ming suddenly realized that this seemed to be an opportunity.

Since he plans to join forces with Hanzo of the Salamander to attack the Akatsuki organization, he will definitely appear in the territory of the Rain Country.

As long as he keeps an eye on the movements of the Hidden Rain Village and combines it with the actions of the Akatsuki organization, it should not be difficult to find the other party.

By then, with his strength, there is a high probability that he will have no problem dealing with the opponent.

When he thought of this, Qing Ming's heart began to pound, but he forced himself to calm down and began to think about the risks involved.

After a long time, he gave up.

It’s not that he is afraid of the strength of Hanzo and Nagato.

It is true that Hanzo of the Salamander during this period was not as suspicious as he was later on, and he still had the demeanor of a hero, but his strength was just that. Qingming was confident that even if he was defeated, his life would not be in danger.

As for Nagato
At this stage, he still lives under Yahiko's "protection" and has not yet developed the ability of the Rinnegan in depth, so Qingming is not very worried.

So why would he give up this opportunity?

The reason is very simple, that is, the conflict between Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village has attracted too much attention. Both Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu are silently paying attention to this matter at this time.

At this stage, Qing Ming doesn't want to expose his abnormality to these two people.

Therefore, I have to give up this opportunity for the time being.

“Oh, what a pity.”

With a sigh, Qing Ming collected his thoughts and focused on the one-week buffer period mentioned by Sano Nobuhisa.

There is no doubt that this is the time Ōnoki has left for the radicals in the village.

During this period of time, these people will definitely cause trouble. If Konoha can deal with the trouble they bring, then the opposition voices in the Hidden Rock Village will naturally subside, and the peace agreement between the two sides will naturally be signed as usual.

But if Konoha reveals or is forced to reveal any flaws, I'm sorry, Ohnoki will definitely overturn the previous negotiation results.

By then, it would naturally be impossible for a peace agreement to be signed smoothly.

At the very least, the Iwagakure Village will definitely gain more benefits.

Therefore, the next week is very important and Konoha must be careful and vigilant.

It's not just the battlefield in the Rain Country facing the Iwagakure Village, it's the same on their side as well.

Those people from the Iwagakure Village definitely wouldn't mind using the Kirigakure Village to cause them some trouble.

After all, that's what they did last time.

I just don’t know whether the Hidden Mist Village will go with the flow this time?
You know, in the past half month, the full-scale offensive launched by them has certainly caused great losses to Konoha, but their losses have also been considerable.

In this situation, Qingming is not sure whether the Hidden Mist Village still has the courage to continue this war?
Therefore, we need to wait and see.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

While Qingming was thinking, Sano Nobuhisa's voice came again: "During the next period of time, please be sure to strengthen your vigilance and do not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."

Obviously, what he could think of, the village leaders could also think of.

Now, they have been given the latest instructions.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

Soon, the meeting is over.

After walking out of the conference room, Qing Ming did not linger for long. He found an open space and immediately performed the "Wind Escape: Wind Wings", flew into the sky, and flew outside the stronghold.

After leaving everyone's sight, he created several shadow clones to carry out tasks for him, then he moved away from the battlefield, found a deserted place, and started today's practice.

······
In a blink of an eye, it was five days later.

It’s noon this day.

In a jungle where few people go.

Qing Ming stopped using the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to strengthen his body, glanced at the shadow clones around him, and with a thought, he canceled the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As clouds of chakra smoke exploded, all of these shadow clones returned to Qingming's body, carrying with them the training experience and memories of the past hour.

Qing Ming closed his eyes and began to carefully digest these practice experiences and memories, converting them into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

Time passes minute by minute.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qingming opened his eyes again.

Then, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Qingming raised his hands and formed a seal, and almost in the blink of an eye he performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!

Ignoring the rapidly rising earth wall in front of him, Qingming carefully experienced the extremely smooth feeling when he had just performed the ninjutsu.

That's right, it's the performance of mastering a ninjutsu to perfection.

With this thought, Qing Ming opened the proficiency panel.

正如他所想的那样，经过一周多的练习，他的‘土遁·土流壁’终于率先晋级，从lv6（7700/10000）提升到了lv7（0/0）的圆满境界。
