Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 686 Support
Watching the shadow clone leave, Qingming finally stopped lingering.

He quickly packed up his equipment, then performed 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', flew into the sky, and flew towards the direction of Konoha Village.

In fact, he had set up the Flying Thunder God technique outside Konoha Village and in his own residence, so if he wanted to get back as soon as possible, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

However, Qingming didn't want to do that.

As for the reason
It's easy too!
That is, these Flying Thunder God techniques are only used by him in emergency situations, and they should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

As an S-level forbidden technique recorded in the Book of Seals, he had no official channel to obtain it. If he used it rashly, it would easily give people an excuse to accuse him.

Indeed, almost everyone who should know about his looting of the Root Organization's collection knew about it. As long as he used this technique, they could probably guess the twists and turns involved.

But there are always some people who don’t know.

Or, pretend not to know.

In this way, he still has to do some superficial work.

Therefore, even if he had learned the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', he could not use it recklessly.

In addition, the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' can also be used as a trump card, and it is better not to expose it if possible.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming didn't think any more. He flapped his wings and flew towards Konoha Village at an accelerated speed.

······
In a flash, time came to more than half an hour later.

Qingming flew outside the Konoha Village.

After canceling 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', Qing Ming fell to the ground.

Ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, he walked straight through the Konoha gate and entered the village.

Instead of rushing to the Hokage Building, he first rushed to Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

The message just now was sent by the other party, so he naturally had to go to the other party first to understand the whole story and then make plans.

Soon, he returned to the Uchiha clan's territory and came to Uchiha Fugaku's mansion.

The other party seemed to be waiting for him. As soon as he entered, he saw the other party.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Uchiha Fugaku told the whole story.

It turned out that not long ago, the Hidden Cloud Village on the front line suddenly intensified its offensive.

During this period, they even broke through Konoha's defense line and approached the border of the Land of Fire. In the end, it was the frontline ninjas who risked their lives that forced the Hidden Cloud Village to retreat.

But because of this, the front-line troops suffered heavy losses and were afraid that they would be unable to withstand the next wave of attacks from the Hidden Cloud Village, so they urgently asked the village for help.

However, during this period, in order to quell the internal problems of the Land of Fire, Konoha sent out most of its ninjas, and was unable to mobilize too many people at once.

Since the quantity is not enough, we can only make up for it with quality.

Then, he, a senior ninja who had performed brilliantly in the Third Ninja World War and happened to be idle, was targeted.

It just so happened that because of Minato Namikaze, the Uchiha clan and the village were in a honeymoon period. As soon as Minato Namikaze spoke, Uchiha Fugaku agreed.

Then he was called back.

After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's narration, Qingming didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hey!"

Finally, he just sighed and said, "When do you leave? Besides me, who else will leave?"

Seeing that he did not refuse, Uchiha Fugaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Qingming would refuse.

From Qingming's series of actions, it was not difficult to see that Qingming was a person who extremely hated trouble, coupled with some conflicts between him and Danzo.

He was really afraid that Qing Ming would get angry and refuse to fight.

Fortunately, Qing Ming was sensible enough not to say no.

However, if Qingming knew what Uchiha Fugaku was thinking at this moment, he would probably laugh out loud. He was not being sensible, he just didn't want to complicate the problem because of some small things.

That’s right, in his opinion, the unusual movements in the Hidden Cloud Village on the front line were just a small matter.

First of all, with his current strength, even if the A and B combination of the Hidden Cloud Village came together, they might not be able to do anything to him, let alone others.

And without the worry of life, no matter how bad the situation is, it doesn't matter.

Secondly, according to his memories of his previous life, although the Hidden Cloud Village had never signed a ceasefire agreement with Konoha, it did not invade the territory of the Land of Fire until a year or two later.

In this way, there is no need to worry that the other party is preparing for a large-scale invasion this time.

Based on this, could he speculate that the sudden movement of the Hidden Cloud Village was intended to test Minato Namikaze's style of doing things?

After all, the Fourth Hokage had just taken office in Konoha, and problems had already occurred on the front line. The coincidence was indeed thought-provoking.

And if his idea is correct, then the unusual movement in the Hidden Cloud Village is just the beginning.

After the Hidden Cloud Village, there will definitely be attempts to test other villages.

They might not be as direct as the Hidden Cloud Village, but they would definitely send small teams to infiltrate the territory of the Land of Fire and collect relevant intelligence.

From this, if we think more deeply, it is almost foreseeable that the village's secret forces will be busy next.

Wait ~
"Will Kakashi become famous in the following secret battle?"

The more Qing Ming thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

After all, he had just spotted Kakashi wearing an ANBU uniform just a few days ago.

Next, if the Anbu takes any action, given the other party’s current desire to die, they will definitely take the lead.

In this way, it is normal to make a name for yourself.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly suppressed them and listened quietly to Uchiha Fugaku's answer.

Then he said, "In addition to you, there is another team of 100 people, including 10 Jonins, 60 Chuunins, and 30 Genins. You will be the captain."

"Is this so"

Qingming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku explained to him the specific composition of the team.

There were no surprises, they were all elite troops.

Among them, there are very few civilian ninjas, and most of them are ninjas from families.

For such a team, the average combat effectiveness is higher than its paper strength.

Qingming was quite satisfied with this.

After the conversation, he left Uchiha Fugaku's residence, returned to his own home, took some clothes and utensils, sealed them in a scroll, and immediately rushed to the Hokage Building.

The first person he saw was Minato Namikaze.

Time was running out, so Minato Namikaze didn't say much to him. After giving him the detailed information sent from the front line, he let him set off.

Qing Ming didn't waste any time. He saw the team gathering under the Hokage Building, quickly counted the number of people, and after confirming that there were no problems, he gave the order to set off.

Because they were traveling light, it didn't take the team long. In less than three days, they arrived at the Land of Fields in the northeast of the Land of Fire.

This is the front line of the battle between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village.

When Qingming and others arrived here, Konoha was trying its best to resist the attack of the Hidden Cloud Village.

I have to say that the leader in charge of this battlefield made a very accurate judgment. With their own strength, they were indeed unable to stop the attack from the Hidden Cloud Village.

It was also because he asked for help immediately that Qing Ming and others were able to arrive in time, thus avoiding greater losses.
