Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 654 Head-to-head confrontation
Feeling the greed that was almost overflowing from Danzo, Qingming snorted coldly and decisively raised his hand to cast the "Illusion Sharingan".

However, Danzo was not blinded by greed. He closed his eyes decisively almost the moment he took action.

At the same time, the whole person quickly retreated.

In addition, two Root Ninjas instantly appeared in front of him and used their bodies to block Qingming's sight and possible attacks.

This time, Danzo was truly safe.

Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Go!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Root Ninjas attacked Qingming without any hesitation.

The first things to arrive were the various ninja tools coated with poison.

The Qingming Sharingan and the Byakugan worked at the same time, and he dodged all attacks in a flash.

Not only that, he also threw several shurikens with his backhand, aiming directly at several Root ninjas who were taking the opportunity to form seals.

However, these people did not care about their own safety at all and would avoid any attacks they could.

If the dodging action will affect the subsequent ninjutsu, just choose to ignore it.

However, this does not mean that they will be infected.

There are other Root ninjas around them who will block the attacks for them.

After just a brief confrontation, Qingming witnessed their tacit understanding.

crackle~
A bolt of lightning shot out.

Qingming Sharingan spun rapidly, predicting the lightning attack, and then he dodged it by a hair's breadth.

But just as his feet touched the ground, a figure emerged from the ground and grabbed his ankles with both hands.

"Earth Escape?"

Qing Ming reacted quickly and jumped up to avoid the opponent's sneak attack.

However, he was in the air, allowing others to see opportunities.

So, some people threw ninja tools, some used ninjutsu, and some rushed up directly, as if they wanted to fight him in close combat.

Seeing this, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all and drew out the long sword from his waist.

crackle~
There was a loud noise.

The long sword in Qingming's hand suddenly burst out with dazzling lightning, making everyone around him fall into an illusion where they could not see.

That’s right, this is the ‘Lightning Sword’!
After ten days of practice, he had already mastered this technique to level 6. Although it had not yet reached the perfect level of level 7 (0/0), the effect was already quite good.

This is especially true now that it is suddenly used.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qing Ming dodged the incoming kunai and shuriken, then performed the "Instant Sword Technique", his body glowed with green light, and in an instant his speed soared to the limit.

Just then, a shadow flashed by and he had already arrived in front of a Root ninja.

huh~
The long knife was swung out.

This Root Ninja was in a hallucination and had no idea how to dodge, so Qingming's long sword easily cut his throat.

stab~
A stream of blood spurted out.

Qingming's figure flashed again and came in front of another Root ninja.

However, just as he was about to do the same and continue to kill the opponent, a chakra ball suddenly shot towards him at a speed no less fast than a bullet.

Qingming had a keen sense and immediately stopped, avoiding the sneak attack.

Then, his Byakugan noticed Danzo who had hidden away in the distance at some point.

At this moment, the other party was opening his mouth to spit out the second chakra ball.

Obviously, the attack just now was launched by him.

Qingming is also very familiar with this ninjutsu, which is the B-level ninjutsu - Wind Style: Vacuum Ball!

Qingming glanced at the other party, then looked at the Root Ninjas around him, and suddenly put away the long sword in his hand.

Then, while dodging Danzo's attack, he raised his hands, formed hand seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Chakra Feather Robe!

A faint green light appeared on his body surface, and then quickly condensed into a flowing green shirt.

It looks very thin and light, but its defensive power is quite strong.

Danzo's subsequent vacuum missiles hit him, but failed to cause any harm to him except for causing a slight ripple on his chakra feather robe.

During this time, other Root ninjas broke free from the illusion and attacked him, but he ignored all the D-level and C-level ninjutsu they hastily performed.

Only those who tried to get close to him or threw ninja tools at him would be noticed by him.

However, Qingming did not attack them. Instead, he tried his best to avoid a wave of siege, then raised his hands again and began to form seals.

His unusual behavior immediately alerted Danzo and the Root Ninjas. Some of them launched another attack without hesitation, while others took actions to deal with the danger.

Qing Ming noticed the reactions of these people, but didn't care too much.

Anyway, most people are going to die soon.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming completed the hand seal, and after a low shout, he performed the ninjutsu - Lightning Release: Thunder Prison!
In an instant, lightning flashed everywhere!

Dense lightning suddenly appeared, with Qingming as the center, and quickly spread out in all directions.

Everything along the way seemed to be swallowed up, making it difficult to see clearly.

The crackling sound of the electric current mixed with the unique crackling sound of the Lightning Release Ninjutsu makes people's eardrums hurt.

Before anyone was attacked, their hair stood up due to static electricity.

"Disperse!"

Someone shouted, and all the Root Ninjas immediately fled in all directions.

However, they were too close to Qingming.

What’s more, the expansion speed of Thunder Prison is very fast.

So, in the end, except for a few Root ninjas who were prepared, everyone else was trapped.

'Thunder Escape: Thunder Prison', this technique has never been demonstrated in front of anyone since Qing Ming learned it.

Therefore, Danzo and a group of Root Ninjas did not know that he also knew such a ninjutsu.

Therefore, he was caught off guard.

When ninjas fight each other, intelligence often determines the outcome.

If it was just an ordinary ninjutsu, they would just suffer a little loss at most.

However, if you don't handle the Ninjutsu like 'Lightning Release: Thunder Prison' properly, the whole group will be wiped out.

like now
After a few breaths, the roar of thunder and lightning finally stopped.

When everything returned to calm, there were dozens of charred corpses around Qingming.

They were at different distances and their actions were different, but the final result was the same, which was death.

Not far away, Danzo's figure appeared.

Soon after, four Root Ninjas appeared one after another.

These are the remaining manpower of the other side.

Let’s not talk about Danzo. He was the farthest away and ran the fastest, so naturally he was fine.

The remaining four Root Ninjas.
Two of them, like Danzo, were highly alert, and the moment they realized something was wrong, they used the "Instant Body Technique" and ran out of the coverage of the Thunder Prison.

The other two escaped by performing earth-style ninjutsu and hiding deep underground.

Qingming looked at the five people and smiled casually.

However, unlike his good mood, Danzo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and thought to himself, "Even if we can successfully achieve our goal this time and take down Qingming, I'm afraid we won't have the extra strength to interfere in the Hokage election."

Not only the Hokage election, but if he wants to do something else later, he will probably be in the embarrassing situation of having no one available.

The Root organization was, after all, just a training institution for the Konohagakure Anbu, and although its staff had long exceeded the limit with the tacit approval of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was still very limited.

In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly this time, Danzo mobilized almost half of the staff.

However, these people were almost killed or injured in Qingming's two waves of massacres.

Under such circumstances, the power of Danzo's men was naturally greatly weakened.

Indeed, Root Organization Ninjas can be trained quickly by exploiting their potential.

However, no matter how fast the speed is, there is still a process.

At the very least, in the short term, the root organization will not be able to fill this hole.

That’s why Danzo’s expression looked so ugly.

Now, he had only one thought, which was to kill Qingming.

If he can't even do this, then this trip will be a complete loss for him.

With this thought in mind, he shouted directly to the four Root Ninjas: "Go!"

Hearing this, the four of them rushed forward without any hesitation.
