Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 633 Take action
Soon, the meeting is over.

The group split into two groups, each gathered their troops, and rushed to the target stronghold.

Qingming was assigned to the base that was farther away.

When he arrived, it was already noon.

At this time, many ninjas had gathered here.

Among them, there were not only the Konoha troops that were already besieging this stronghold, but also personnel drawn from several nearby small strongholds.

Obviously, Nara Kiyoshi made a lot of preparations to ensure the success of this operation.

However, this has nothing to do with Qingming, and he doesn't have to worry about coordination. There is someone else in charge of the command of this operation.

As soon as he entered the command center, he saw a familiar face who was not quite familiar to him.

When this person saw him, he said directly: "Qingming, right? I am Xihi Zhenhong, the commander of this mission."

That’s right, this person is none other than Yuhi Kurenai’s father - Yuhi Shinku, a man who appears serious on the surface but actually has a deep understanding of the will of fire.

As I recall, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he stopped young Might Guy, Kakashi and others, entrusted his hopes for the future to these people, and then went to his death with all his heart.

I have to say, this is a respectable jonin.

Therefore, even Qing Ming had to lower his posture slightly in front of the other party.

Qingming replied: "I am Uchiha Qingming. If the captain has any instructions, you can tell me at any time."

"Ah."

Xi Ri Zhen Hong heard his words, nodded, and said: "Okay, you sit down first, and we will talk after everyone is gathered."

Hearing this, Qing Ming followed the other party's instructions, sat in his seat, and waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

He didn't have to wait too long. Soon, all the jonin and special jonin who were going to participate in this operation arrived.

Then, Yuhi Shinku didn't waste any time and immediately started arranging combat tasks.

He obviously had a serious understanding of Qingming's past fighting methods, so the task assigned to him was very targeted.

Then he said, "Qingming Jonin, your mission is simple, but also very important."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ming straightened his back to show that he was listening carefully.

Seeing this, Xihi Zhenhong continued: "Next, we will attack from the east, west, and north.

But remember, the north is our main attack direction.

I want you to fly to the west of Shahe City after the war starts, and put pressure on the Mist Ninjas in the city so that more Mist Ninjas can be transferred over there. The feint attack troops over there will cooperate with your actions.

After that, when the time is right, you must immediately return to the North City, land on the ground, and attract the attention of the Mist Ninja from the inside to create an opportunity for our attack."

After hearing this, Qingming thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

The other party said a lot, but it can actually be summed up in two words - feint to the east and attack in the west and attack from both inside and outside.

The former took advantage of his high maneuverability in flying.

The latter took advantage of his high combat power which far exceeded that of ordinary jonin.

Both of these are indispensable.

If it were someone else, even if they could do the first step, they would not dare to take the second step.

This is a man going deep behind enemy lines. If he doesn't have strong strength, he will just be giving away his life.

Only someone like Qingming, who is powerful and has proven himself many times, can take on such a heavy responsibility.

As for being exploited, Qing Ming had never thought about it.

Everyone was working towards the same goal, and these tasks were within his capabilities, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Soon, the combat meeting was over, everyone's tasks were assigned, and then they went down to prepare. About an hour later, everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and they were divided into three teams, launching an attack from the east, west, and north of Shahe City.

Such a big move on the Konoha side naturally could not be hidden from the Mist Ninjas in the city.

It is true that these Mist Ninjas have become much more 'docile' over the past period of time, but this does not mean that they will lie there and be slaughtered.

Almost immediately, they mobilized manpower and launched active defense work.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a surprise attack for either side, and it is a competition of hard power.

Before they got close, the ninjas on both sides began to use ninja tools and ninjutsu.

According to past experience, such attacks will continue for several rounds before the Konoha troops get close.

But Qingming appeared and broke this link.

Almost immediately after the battle started, he used Wind Style: Wind Wings, Chakra Feather Robe, and Earth Style: Hardening Technique, and flew over the West City.

His speed was so fast that the Mist Ninja had no time to react.

In addition, these Mist Ninjas have been hiding in the city for some time. Although they still maintain necessary surveillance on the Konoha Ninjas outside the city, some details are not very clear.

So, I didn’t know Qingming had arrived here.

Because of this, they were simply unable to organize an effective response in the first place.

And those scattered attacks were directly resisted by Qingming using the "Chakra Feather Robe" and "Earth Escape·Hardening Technique" on his body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly completed the seal, and in the blink of an eye, he condensed a huge fireball with a diameter of more than 30 meters.

As the saying goes, a new trick can be eaten everywhere.

It is such a simple ninjutsu. Without advance preparation, few people can intercept it.

Just like now, looking at this fireball emitting infinite light and heat, some Mist Ninjas hurriedly performed their own ninjutsu.

But because the power was not concentrated enough, it was completely unable to stop its fall.

And those more powerful ninjutsu often require time to prepare, and there is obviously no time at the moment.

So, in the end, no one could block this attack.

As a last resort, the Kirigakure Jonin in charge of the front-line command could only grit his teeth and ask the Kirigakure ninja below to disperse, while ordering others to perform ninjutsu to resist the impact of the fireball falling to the ground.

Finally, the fireball fell to the ground, but the power of the explosion was blocked by the 'Water Style: Water Array Wall' performed by several Kirigakure jonin.

The scattered flames were gathered again and then rushed upwards through the gap in the middle.

Seeing this, Qing Ming quickly flapped his wings and flew away.

At this time, the other Mist Ninjas also recovered from the explosion of the fireball and immediately returned to their posts.

But how could Qing Ming let them go so easily?
After dodging several kunai shots, he aimed at the fastest running people and threw a shuriken.

Then, he performed the A-level ninjutsu - Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
In the blink of an eye, that shuriken turned into hundreds of them, shooting towards the Mist Ninjas.

Attacked by such dense shurikens, the Mist Ninjas had to stop and wave their kunai to block.

Seeing this, Qing Ming followed suit and used the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' and the 'Wind Style: Vacuum Jade' on the Mist Ninjas in several other places.

These are all group attack ninjutsu, and the Mist Ninjas must be on guard.

Although there were not many casualties among the Mist Ninjas in the process, it was not important.

What’s important is that the Konoha ninjas outside the city took the opportunity to rush in.

Thus, a brutal fight began.
