Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 580 Counterattack
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

The battlefield here was as 'calm' as ever until
Konoha's first batch of support troops arrived!

That's right, after more than 20 days of dispatch, Konoha's first batch of support troops drawn from the battlefield in the Land of Rain finally arrived at the battlefield here.

The village also issued the latest instructions.

Blackrock Stronghold.

In the conference room.

Sano Nobuhisa looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "The latest order from headquarters."

Hearing this, everyone sat up straight and listened attentively.

Then I heard Sano Nobuhisa continue: "From now on, all bases will switch from defense to offense. We must drive the Mist Ninja out of the Land of Fire in the shortest possible time and take back our land."

"Counterattack?"

When everyone heard this, there was excitement and worry on their faces.

The excitement was because the village had finally started a counterattack. They had originally been concentrated in this stronghold with the primary goal of retaking Feiyu Town.

However, due to the unreasonable sudden increase in troops from the Hidden Mist Village, this plan completely failed, and they even became the defending side.

And now, they can finally hold their heads high.

However, this is also what they are worried about, because counterattack means breaking the deadlock.

And the reason why the battlefield here has been able to maintain such a strange "calmness" over the past period of time is mainly because they have not done anything extreme.

But once they decide to take back Feiyu Town, it will inevitably stimulate the Mist Ninja.

By then, it’s hard to say what will happen.

If Kirigakure remains in its current state and is gradually devoured by them, it would be fine, but if they fight to the death, sacrifice is inevitable.

That's why there was some worry on everyone's faces.

But overall, everyone was happy.

There is no other reason, this war is finally coming to an end.

In the past two or three years, Konoha has had three main rivals: the Sand Village, the Iwagakure Village, and the Mist Village.

Now, the first two have retreated, and only the last one is left. Once the Hidden Mist Village is driven out of the territory of the Fire Country by them, the war can be declared over.

Then peace will naturally come.

As for some other battlefields, such as the war with the Hidden Cloud Village, they are not very large in scale and have not affected the territory of the Land of Fire, so... it doesn't matter!
Qing Ming took in everyone's expressions and showed no abnormality, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

In fact, it is true.

Here, he is just a shadow clone.

From a long time ago, his real body rarely appeared in the base. Every day he was either practicing or on the way to practice. He had no extra thoughts to pay attention to the things here.

But that was in the past. It’s no longer possible now.

After the meeting, when the shadow clone conveyed the content of the meeting to Qingming, he immediately became very alert.

There is no doubt that he will participate in this counterattack. This is not only Nobuhisa Sano's request, but also his idea.

Five days ago, his 'Water Style: Water Cutting Wave' was successfully promoted to the perfect state of level 7 (0/0). The saved chakra points were evenly divided between 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Feather Robe' according to the plan.

This increased the proficiency they could gain per day from two hundred and three hundred points to three hundred and four hundred points.

And this is almost all the chakra he can draw on in a short period of time.

This speed of improvement is not slow compared to other skills, but Qingming is still not satisfied. Not to mention the former, it is an A-level ninjutsu, with an upper limit of lv9, and the required proficiency is very huge. Only points a day is not enough.

As for the latter, after his continuous improvement, especially after close contact with the Six-Tails, he had a clearer understanding of the Tailed Beast Coat, and his potential has reached the level of A-level ninjutsu.

In other words, it also requires a large amount of chakra to reach the perfect state.

In this case, the daily investment of 90,000 chakra points is a bit too little.

At this time, the quickest way is naturally to find extra money.

There is no doubt that the next counterattack is an opportunity.

As long as he can plunder enough chakra during this period, he can definitely improve these two skills by a large margin.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming left behind a few shadow clones to continue practicing, while he himself flew towards the Black Stone stronghold, ready to participate in the counterattack.

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

South of the Black Stone Stronghold, in a dense forest not far from Feiyu Town, Qingming withdrew his hand from a special jonin of the Kirigakure.

Thump~
His body fell heavily to the ground, and all the chakra, spiritual energy, and physical energy in his body were drained by Qingming.

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

And near him, there were several Mist Ninjas in the same situation.

Qing Ming raised his hand and used the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Succulent Burning Technique - on their corpses!
bang~ bang~ bang~
Balls of flames appeared and spread rapidly, enveloping their bodies and eventually burning them to ashes.

After doing all this, Qingming turned around and looked towards a certain place in the forest, and said calmly: "Since you are here, come out!"

Tap tap tap~
There was a faint sound of footsteps.

A figure walked out from behind the tree. He was wearing a black robe and a mask with four curved lines on the mask, which was the symbol of the Hidden Mist Village.

Obviously, this is a Kirigakure Anbu ninja.

Qing Ming carefully felt the other person's breath, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it you?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Qing Ming's words, Hoshigaki Kisame's expression under the mask changed slightly, and then he said calmly: "Do you know me?"

That’s right, this Mist Village Anbu was none other than the tailless beast, Hoshigaki Kisame, whom he had fought once before.

Obviously, his crazy hunting in the past few days attracted the attention of the Hidden Mist Village, which is why they sent such an elite Anbu to investigate.

At this time, the other party undoubtedly wanted to trick him into talking and try to get more information from him.

Unfortunately, Qingming didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Looking at the other person, Qing Ming shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that the other party was a real person, but he never expected that it was just a shadow clone.

That’s right, the Hoshigaki Kisame in front of him was not his real self. Although he was very powerful, he was extremely cautious in doing things. Even if he discovered his trace, he did not approach rashly, but only sent out a shadow clone.

If Qingming had not seen the other person before and knew that his chakra amount was far beyond that of ordinary people, he might not have been able to discover this.

As for why he extracted the chakra of several Mist Ninjas in the field after he discovered the other party?
Quite simply, he no longer cared.

The war is about to end, and now is the last chance. Naturally, he will take as much as he can.

What's more, as time goes by, his body is getting closer and closer to the next transformation.

By then, his 'Constitution' attribute will be improved, and the chakra he can freely use will increase again, and his dependence on external chakra will be further reduced.

So, even if someone finds out, it doesn’t matter. The worst that can happen is that you won’t absorb it in the future.
