Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 596 Overture
In a blink of an eye, it was already a week later.

After two days of peaceful practice, Qingming's rest time was over, and then he began to lead the team to carry out the mission.

However, due to the impact of the previous battle, Yujin Port is still relatively quiet.

Therefore, Qingming's task is not very heavy, and he still has enough time to practice every day.

But such days did not last long.

A week is enough time for those ninjas with minor injuries to recover their mobility.

Therefore, both Konoha and Kirigakure became active again.

On the battlefield outside Youjin Port, patrol teams from both sides began sporadic fighting again.

And this is just the beginning.

It is foreseeable that before long, as both sides gradually make preparations, a final war will inevitably break out.

Then, it will be the moment to decide the winner.

But even if it was just sporadic fighting, it also had an impact on Qingming's cultivation.

Too many tasks greatly compressed his daily practice time.

Fortunately, Qingming can plunder some chakra from these sporadic battles, and then make up for the lack of time by using multiple shadow clones.

The only price is that he has to endure greater mental pressure than ordinary people every day.

In other words, his Mangekyō Sharingan has evolved sufficiently and his mental strength is strong enough to withstand such pressure.

If it were someone else, with the same schedule as him, they would have probably died of sudden death long ago.

Just when Qingming was thinking wildly, a person in front of the team suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Qing Ming immediately withdrew his thoughts and swept his blood-red Sharingan around, trying not to miss any abnormalities.

Likewise, his ears were perked up, listening carefully to the sounds in the forest.

Soon, a slight explosion sounded in his ears, and the location seemed to be
Qingming turned his head slightly and looked to the front right.

At this moment, the Chunin who had stopped first at the front of the team came in front of him.

Then he said, "Captain, about 500 meters to the right, our people are fighting with the Mist Ninja."

Qing Ming heard this, glanced at the other party, his eyes passed through his white eyes, and asked in a calm tone: "How many people?"

As if he was used to Qingming's concise words, this Chunin from the Hyuga clan didn't waste any words and replied directly: "We have two teams. One of us has been killed and one is seriously injured. There are still six people who can maintain their combat effectiveness. The enemy..."

Having said this, he paused, concentrated his mind again, and looked at the battlefield over there.

After a few seconds, he said, "The enemy has four squads, all sixteen of them are alive, and another two squads are approaching, and are now about three hundred meters away from the battlefield."

"There are six teams in total for 300 meters."

Qing Ming murmured, glanced at the sixteen people in his four teams, and asked, "What is the strength of the enemy?"

He is leading a team here. If those Mist Ninjas are not strong, they can still attack even if they are outnumbered.

Hearing this, the Hyuga clan's Chunin focused his mind again and looked towards the battlefield.

This time it took a little longer, more than ten seconds later, he said: "Judging from the amount of chakra, the Mist Ninjas currently fighting are three standard Chunin teams and one elite Chunin team, and the two supporting teams are standard Jonin teams led by two Jonin."

The so-called standard Chunin team is a team composed of three Genins led by a Chunin as the captain.

The Elite Chunin Team is a team where all three members and the captain are Chunin.

As for the standard jonin team
It is similar to a standard Chunin team, except that the captain and the team members are a level higher in strength. The captain is usually a jonin or special jonin, and the team members are all Chunins. In other words, the Mist Ninja team has a total of two jonin or special jonin, plus thirteen Chunins, and nine Genins.

Judging from their personnel composition and order of appearance, it should be the three standard Chunin teams that first encountered their two teams and a battle ensued.

Then, they attracted the support of the elite Chunin team consisting of four Chunins.

As for the last two jonin teams
This brings us to the current environment on the battlefield.

Because the war was approaching, neither Konoha nor Kirigakure dared to reveal the slightest flaw.

Therefore, as long as a battle breaks out, no matter how weak the enemy is, as long as a request for combat assistance is received, at least a team of senior ninjas will be sent to provide support.

At that time, if there are no unexpected situations, it would be fine. If there are, then that team of senior ninjas will be the last guarantee.

At the same time, this team of jonin also had the responsibility to end the battle as quickly as possible.

After all, our own ninjas can ask for help, and so can the enemy. No one knows when the enemy's jonin team will arrive?
Therefore, on the current battlefield, neither the Kirigakure side nor the Konoha side dares to let the battle last too long.

That is why, even though it was just an appetizer before the big battle, the fighting was extremely intense.

After all, there will be senior ninjas joining the battle at any time, so the intensity of the battlefield cannot be too low.

"team leader?"

Just when Qingming was daydreaming, a voice came and brought him back to reality.

"Ok?"

Qing Ming came back to his senses.

The Hyuga clan Chunin in front of him asked hurriedly: "Captain, should we rush over immediately?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming only considered it for a moment, then nodded and said, "You lead the way, Team One and Team Two, you will come with me to intercept those two Jonin teams."

"Yes, Captain!"

Team One and Team Two, a total of eight ninjas, heard Qing Ming's words and responded directly without any nonsense.

"Ah."

Qing Ming nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the remaining two teams and said, "Did you also hear what Shan Cha said just now?"

"Ok!"

The ninjas from Team Three and Team Four nodded quickly.

"very good!"

Qing Ming replied, and then directly ordered: "Next, you will rush directly to the battlefield in the right front and support our people as quickly as possible."

Without waiting for the two to answer, he continued: "Remember, you don't need to kill those Mist Ninjas, just hold on until I get back."

Although Qingming's words were very plain, they revealed absolute confidence, as if the two senior ninjas from Kirigakure were no obstacles at all in his eyes.

The first thing you say is that you are waiting for him to come back, but don't make your meaning too obvious.

However, when the Konoha ninjas heard his slightly arrogant and even conceited words, they did not show any surprise.

There was no other reason. They had already witnessed Qingming's strength during the missions of the past few days.

Not to mention the two Kirigakure jonin, even if there were two more, they believed that Qingming could return safely.

After all, this kind of thing has happened before in the past period of time.
