Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 651: Trapped
Two hours later.

The night is getting darker.

Qing Ming finally completed the training of most of the ninjutsu. Today's training plan only left the training of the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', as well as the extremely time-consuming 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Reflection Heart Technique' to be completed.

However, it is already dark now, and if it is any later the gate of Konoha will be closed.

He is not an Anbu ninja and does not know the secret code formula for sensing the barrier through the village. If he sneaks in rashly, he may alarm the village.

By then, there will be a lot of trouble.

So, it’s better to go back as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Qingming no longer lingered.

After extinguishing the bonfire in front of him and packing up his things, he performed Wind Style: Wind Wings and Chakra Feather Robe.

With a "swoosh", it turned into a green light and flew into the sky at the fastest speed, flying towards the direction of Konoha Village.

More than half an hour later, Qingming returned to the outside of Konoha Village.

At this time, there were not many people here.

Qing Ming walked into the village under the watchful eyes of two gate-guarding ninjas.

However, before he had gone far, he sensed a familiar presence. It was one of the people who had followed him in the morning.

Qing Ming did not pretend to be ignorant, but followed the sensation and looked towards the high place in front of him on the right.

What caught his eye was a ninja wearing a black robe and a mask.

The two looked at each other, but neither said a word.

Qingming had a cold expression, just staring at the other person quietly with his three-magatama Sharingan.

Time passed by minute by minute, and passers-by noticed his abnormality, but he remained unmoved and just stared at the Root ninja.

In the end, the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity and disappeared from Qingming's sight.

Seeing him leave, Qingming withdrew his gaze.

Then, he walked towards the busiest street in the village as if nothing had happened.

Another half hour later.

Qingming had dinner and returned to his residence.

Without wasting any time, he immediately concentrated and began to practice the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

For a moment, his figure was everywhere inside and outside the room.

However, the courtyard left by the previous incarnation's parents is a bit remote, so Qingming doesn't have to worry about affecting other people.

In this way, he practiced for more than an hour before completing the planned number of practice sessions.

Qing Ming opened the panel and after confirming that his proficiency level had increased roughly the same, he casually glanced somewhere outside the courtyard and walked into the training room.

Next, he will continue to use the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and the 'Heart Reflection Technique' to increase his physical strength and the degree of evolution of his Sharingan.

Time continues to pass.
Nearing midnight, he finally completed his training plan for the day.

At this time, he was extremely tired both physically and mentally.

Coming to the bathroom, Qingming quickly washed up.

After waking up a little, he returned to the bedroom and prepared to rest.

However, before taking a break, he still untied the 'protective seal' between his brows, opened his Byakugan, and observed the people who were monitoring him outside.

Unlike yesterday, there were only two people this time.

I'm afraid Danzo has also discovered that he will never take action here, so he reduced the number of people monitoring.

Qingming didn't care about this at all.

No matter how many people there are on the other side, it will not affect his sleep.

He won't take action here, but will Danzo?
He has proven his strength in the past few encounters.

In this situation, Danzo would definitely not act rashly without complete certainty.

Therefore, Qingming was not worried about being assassinated while sleeping.

To put it another way, even if he was assassinated, he would be able to wake up instantly based on the habits he had developed on the battlefield over the past two years.

At that time, once the "Heavenly Defense" is activated, no matter what means the enemy uses, it will not be able to affect him.

So Qingming was not worried at all.

······
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

early morning.

In the bedroom.

Qingming opened his eyes.

He first sensed his surroundings and found nothing unexpected. The two people were still there, and they didn't even change their positions.

how to say?

As expected of a Root Ninja!
This serious attitude towards the mission is simply not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas.

Sighing in his heart, Qing Ming sat up from the bed, stretched his body, then got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

He finished washing up in a few minutes, and then, without any delay, he took his ninja bag and went out.

Qingming was just about to get some food.

But before he had gone far, someone stopped him.

"Qingming, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Qing Ming turned around and saw an acquaintance.

Well, not that familiar.
The person who came was none other than the senior ninja who brought him the pension when he just traveled through time - Uchiha Haruto!

The other party was lucky enough to survive this Ninja World War.

"Treat people?"

Qing Ming looked at the other person with a puzzled look in his eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Although Uchiha Haruto and his original self are more than ten years apart in age, they are of the same generation.

Before, when he was not promoted to Jonin, he still respected him.

But now, he is also a jonin.

Therefore, there is not so much politeness in the words.

Uchiha Jito noticed the change in his tone, but didn't pay too much attention to it. He just asked, "Where did you go yesterday?"

"Where are you going?"

Qing Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, but soon relaxed his brows and said bluntly: "I went to find a place outside the village to practice. What's wrong?"

Anyway, many people know that he is a crazy cultivator.

So, there is no need to hide anything, just tell the truth.

What he cares about is what the other party wants from him?

Now that the war has just ended, everyone is resting and recuperating.

At a time like this, the clan called a meeting of all the jonin, but no one knew what to do?
Qingming pondered in his heart.

On the other side, Uchiha Haruto heard his answer and showed an expression of "as expected".

Then he answered Qingming's question.

"Yesterday the clan discussed the Hokage election and wanted to ask for everyone's opinions."

Qing Ming suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this, and then he asked directly, "What is the opinion of the clan now?"

"Most people have agreed to support Minato Jonin, so the clan has made a decision to fully support him in running for the Fourth Hokage," Uchiha Haruto replied.

Qing Ming heard this, nodded, and said, "I have no objection."

"Okay then, I will convey your words to the clan leader." Uchiha Jito said.

After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries and left.

It can be seen that the other party is most likely waiting for him here, and maybe even intends to test his intentions.

From the other party's tone and expression when talking about Minato Namikaze, Qingming knew that the person the other party supported should be Minato Namikaze.

If he had given a different answer just now, the other party might have persuaded him.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming secretly said: "As expected, Namikaze Minato is more popular!"

Even the Uchiha clan has so many people supporting him, no matter what the purpose is, it is enough to explain the problem.

Qingming continued to move forward while thinking.

Just like yesterday, he found a breakfast stall, filled his stomach, and then left the village.

······
on the sky.

Qingming opened his white eyes and observed the forest beneath his feet.

As expected, he saw quite a few hidden figures along the way.

They were none other than the Root Ninjas.

At this time, these people followed behind him and tried their best to catch up.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming secretly said: "I've been tricked!"

After saying that, he accelerated and flew to the place where he practiced yesterday at the fastest speed.

Soon, the Root Ninja lost their target.

Qing Ming did not deliberately slow down or leave any loopholes just because the opponent fell into his trap.

This would have no meaning other than making Danzo suspicious.

As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best.

Only after they have gone through untold hardships to get what they want will they relax their vigilance to the greatest extent.

In this process, all he needs to do is to play the role of an arrogant young man.

That is, he knew someone was targeting him, but he relied on his flying advantage and did not take the enemy seriously.
