Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 685 Sudden mission

Sunset and sunrise.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

This morning.

Qing Ming left Takigakure Village under the pretext of leading his three Genin to train.

After three days of careful investigation, he had roughly figured out Nanao's condition.

Just as he guessed, the other party had not yet been sealed into Fu's body and was still in a relatively independent state, which was the state he needed.

However, the opponent cannot maintain this state for too long.

Based on some clues, he could basically confirm that the top management of Takigakure had most likely reached a consensus and they would complete the preparations within a week at the latest.

By then, the Nanami will be sealed into Fu's body.

Once this step is taken, it loses its independence.

If he wants to avoid subsequent trouble, he must act within this week.

This time was a little earlier than he expected.
However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Anyway, by that time, he would be almost ready and could take action in advance.

Of course, before that, he needed to pass the information back.

Outside Takigakure Village.

Qingming emerged from the huge waterfall, followed by three Takigakure Genin.

Looking at the three people, Qing Ming didn't say anything extra. After saying "follow me", he took the lead and ran into the depths of the forest.

Seeing this, the three Takigakure Genin did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately followed Qingming and ran towards the distance.

After walking for about an hour, Qingming stopped when he came to an uninhabited forest.

After a few breaths, three Takigakure Genin appeared and also stopped.

However, unlike Qingming who was calm and composed, as soon as they stopped, they immediately started breathing heavily.

Obviously, the rapid march just now consumed a lot of their physical strength.

Qing Ming looked at them and imitated Mizutani Yuichi's tone and said, "Your physical strength is still too poor. You must focus on improving this ability in the future."

"Yes, teacher!" ×3
Upon hearing this, the three did not refute, but responded in unison.

"Ah."

Qing Ming seemed very satisfied with their attitude. He nodded and said, "I'll go take a look around first. You guys take some time to rest."

"is teacher!"

The three of them responded and immediately sat on the ground, began to calm their breathing, and took the time to recover their strength.

Seeing this, Qing Ming dodged and left the place.

After a dozen breaths, he appeared on a big tree not far away from the three people.

Qingming looked around, then raised his hand to form a seal, released the "protective seal" at the center of his eyebrows, and opened his eyes.

That's right, since his body underwent a transformation last time, the 'Constitution' attribute has increased to 22 points, and the Byakugan has fully awakened and merged with him. It is like the Sharingan and can be used by his shadow clones.

It is precisely for this reason that Qingming has the confidence to use a shadow clone to find the trace of the Seven-Tails in Takigakure Village.

Otherwise, in such a huge Takigakure Village, how could he determine the exact location of Nanao?
If he gropes around bit by bit, he might not be able to discover anything until it goes out of control.

Suppressing these random thoughts, Qing Ming quickly concentrated his mind and used the perspective of his Byakugan to confirm the situation around him.

After making sure that there was no one else within a kilometer radius, he closed his eyes.

Then, without any pause, he raised his hands again and formed seals at a rapid speed.

A few seconds later, a palm slapped the tree trunk next to it.

Suddenly, dense black lines appeared, like a miniature sealing ritual, engraved on the tree trunk.

In fact, it's almost the same.

This black pattern is exactly the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is the chakra mark required to perform the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

However, because his 'Flying Thunder God Technique' was too low level and his proficiency was not high enough, the mark was more complicated.

Unlike Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze, they simply reduced the mark to a simple pattern and a line of text.

However, Qingming firmly believed that as long as he continued to work hard and the level of "Flying Thunder God Technique" was raised, he would be able to achieve this.

As for now.
Just make do with it for now!

Qing Ming took his hands back and checked the mark. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately cancelled the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang~
Accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke dissipating.

Qingming, who was standing on the tree branch before, disappeared. ······
at the same time.

Fire Nation.

South.

On that island.

Qing Ming was just improving the 'Palm Immortal Technique' when suddenly his expression froze, he froze in place, and then silently closed his eyes.

Time passes minute by minute.

Qingming's eyeballs kept moving under his tightly closed eyes, and drops of sweat oozed from his forehead. His whole mind was extremely active, as if he was receiving some information at a high intensity.

In fact, it is true.

Now, he is receiving the memory information of the shadow clone that sneaked into Takigakure Village.

This is not like cultivation. Although there are many people, each of them does not exist for very long.

These were several days' worth of memories that flooded into his mind all at once, causing him to suffer considerable pressure.

Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough, and he was also used to the situation where a large amount of information flooded into his mind, so he finally persevered.

About half an hour later, Qingming opened his eyes.

Then, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

With the memories of the shadow clone, he had a more detailed understanding of the situation in Takigakure Village.

At the same time, based on the information collected by the shadow clone, he had a general idea of ​​what to do next.

But how to do it specifically still requires further consideration.

However, the development of things often does not follow people's subjective will.

In other words, plans can never keep up with changes.

Just as he was lost in thought, he was suddenly awakened by the loud cry of an eagle.

Qingming looked up and saw a herald eagle trained by his family circling over the island, as if looking for someone.

After a moment, it seemed to confirm its target, then dived and flew straight towards him.

Seeing this, Qing Ming frowned slightly, and inexplicably had a bad feeling in his heart.

But finally, he stretched out his arm and made it stop.

The messenger eagle called to him a few times in a very clever way, and then showed its right claw with a letter tube.

Qing Ming didn't waste any time. He opened the mailbox and found a note inside.

The content of the note was very simple. It said that the family asked him to go back as soon as possible, saying that the village had a task for him.

"Task?"

The bad premonition in his heart came true and Qingming frowned slightly.

As a jonin and a member of the Uchiha clan, he did not need to spend a lot of time doing missions for a little money like those civilian ninjas.

In fact, he hadn't been to the mission office at all in the past period of time.

Basically, he spent all his time practicing.

But now, the village suddenly gave him a task, which surprised him very much.

After all, unless there is something big, the village will not take the initiative to assign tasks to people.

He didn't know what mission required him to take action personally at this point in time.
However, since the clan has already passed the message to him, it means that this task cannot be refused, or it is difficult to refuse.

Therefore, he still had to rush back as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming took back the shadow clone that was practicing nearby.

After digesting and absorbing their training experience over the past period of time, he raised his hands again to form seals and performed the "Shadow Clone Technique", creating a shadow clone.

Qing Ming looked at the other party and directly ordered: "I'll leave Takigakure Village to you first, don't act rashly for the time being."

"it is good."

Hearing this, the shadow clone nodded and closed his eyes.

After a moment, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Qing Ming sensed it carefully and found that the Flying Thunder God technique left by the previous shadow clone had been activated.

Obviously, this shadow clone had already been transferred to the forest not far from Takigakure Village through the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

This is the convenience of the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'!

Even though its current level is not high and it is not very convenient to use, it can already help him do a lot of things.
