Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 696 Devastated
"what is this?"

In the field of vision, Qingming's three-magatama Sharingan suddenly changed. Miura Naosuke spoke immediately, both asking and warning his companions.

However, before the other two could respond, Qingming's figure disappeared in front of them.

"what happened?"

When the three saw this scene, they were shocked and looked around, hoping to find Qingming's trace immediately.

But after looking around, they didn't see Qingming.

The three of them were also experienced. When they encountered a situation they didn't understand, they immediately wanted to form a defensive formation with their backs together.

In this way, no matter what conspiracy or tricks Qingming has, they can deal with it.

However, as soon as they made a move, Qingming's figure appeared silently behind Miura Naosuke.

"careful!"

Yano So was the first to discover Qingming's trail. Without any hesitation, he shouted a warning and threw the kunai in his hand directly at Qingming's throat.

However, facing the kunai he threw, Qingming remained unmoved and slashed directly at the back of Miura Naosuke's neck with his knife.

A strong sense of crisis came over him, and Naosuke Miura felt a chill rising from his tailbone to the back of his head.

Fortunately, with the warning from Yano So, he reacted in time. He squatted down to avoid the attack from behind, raised his hands to form seals, and performed the "Substitution Technique".

bang~
A cloud of chakra smoke exploded.

Naosuke Miura's figure disappeared, leaving only a wooden stake in its place.

Qingming's long sword chopped on the wooden stake, cutting it in half in an instant.

At the same time, the kunai thrown by Yano So also came in front of Qingming.

The next moment, it pierced his throat.

Seeing this scene, a look of joy appeared on Yano So's face.

However, before the joy could spread, the expression on his face froze.

There was no other reason. Qingming, whose throat was pierced by the kunai, disappeared.

What he shot was just an afterimage.

As if thinking of something, Yano So immediately turned around and shouted to Miura Naosuke who had just escaped a disaster not far away: "Be careful!"

Naosuke Miura naturally also saw the scene of Qingming disappearing. Without Yano So's reminder, he was already on high alert.

Unfortunately, he was not so lucky this time.

Qing Ming appeared directly in front of him, and the moment their eyes met, he directly activated the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan.

As a genuine jonin, Naosuke Miura has pretty good mental strength.

Even with the hypnotic power activated by the Mangekyo-level Sharingan, he was only dazed for a moment and quickly came to his senses.

But just as he was about to look away, Qing Ming stretched out his left palm and slapped him hard on the chest.

The next moment, he felt a twisted force coming from Qingming's palm, causing him great pain.

Looking down, Naosuke Miura saw a high-density chakra ball with a diameter of about ten centimeters, emitting a strong and dangerous aura, pressed on him by Qingming.

"Rasengan~"

Naosuke Miura murmured.

Obviously, he has a deep understanding of Qingming's intelligence.

Sadly, that didn't stop him from getting hurt.

puff~
A large amount of blood spurted out of Miura Naosuke's mouth.

Then, he flew backwards and hit a big tree behind him hard.

Then his body slipped and fell to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Qingming did not choose to finish off the opponent immediately. Instead, he glanced back and activated the ability of 'Heavenly Control' again.

The next moment, a kunai shot through his afterimage, nailing him to the ground with a loud explosion.

Obviously, this is a kunai with an explosive tag.

Unfortunately, it was useless in front of his 'invincible' 'Heavenly Control'.

Qingming's figure disappeared and reappeared, and he had already come behind Akita who had just shot out the kunai.

Ignoring Yano So, who was rushing towards him in the distance with lightning flashing all over his body, Qingming swung his sword straight out.

Although Akita tried to dodge immediately, he was still injured by the knife.
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.

Qingming's long sword slashed across Akita's back, leaving a deep scar that was visible to the bone.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, quickly soaking through his Hidden Cloud Village uniform.

Qingming was unyielding and turned his wrist, changing the chopping motion of his sword to a slashing motion, and slashed towards Akita again.

Akita was already seriously injured, and his reaction was even slower this time.

As a result, Qing Ming chopped off half of his right arm.

At this moment, Yano So happened to come in front of him.

Looking at the opponent's right hand wrapped in lightning, like a sharp blade, Qingming had an idea, mobilized chakra, and used the ultimate power of the Mangekyō Sharingan - Susanoo!
However, he did not develop it to the third stage, but only condensed the initial form, which was a few ribs and an arm.

But that's enough.

Indeed, if the Third Raikage or the Fourth Raikage performed the 'Hell Stab', even if it was just the 'Four Basic Techniques', he would take it seriously.

But if it was just the person in front of me, then it would be completely unnecessary.

There was no other reason, because he did not feel any strong danger from the other party.

In other words, the opponent's move was not that powerful.

In fact, it is true.

Yano Sou hit him with a 'Hell Stab·Four-pointer', which did cause cracks in the ribs of the 'Susanoo' that was protecting him, but that was all.

However, what he thought was expected made Yano So's eyes widen in surprise.

He really didn't expect that such a powerful attack of his couldn't break through Qingming's defense.

Yano Sou didn't have time to think, he quickly retracted his right hand and planned to perform "Hell Stab·Three-Pointed Hand" to further strengthen the attack.

Unfortunately, as soon as he bent his little finger, his whole body was grabbed by a silver-white skeleton arm.

Suddenly, a huge force came over him, and even with the 'Thunder Escape Armor' to enhance his defense, he couldn't help but reveal a look of pain.

Kakakka~
There was a sound like bones being crushed.

"Ah~"

Yano So let out a loud cry of pain.

Then, lightning surged all over his body, trying to break free from the skeleton's arms.

Qing Ming felt the pressure and immediately wasted no time. He grabbed Yano So and brought him in front of him. Then he looked into his eyes and cast the 'Illusion Sharingan'.

Although Yano So reacted quickly, he wanted to close his eyes the first moment.

Unfortunately, it was still a little slow in front of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In almost an instant, his consciousness was pulled into the illusion by Qingming. The electric light on his body dissipated and he froze in place without moving.

"Yano Sou!" ×2
Not far away, the seriously injured Naosuke Miura and Akita Ri saw this scene and shouted loudly, trying to wake up Yano So.

Unfortunately, this is simply impossible.

Not to mention that Qing Ming is now using the Mangekyō Sharingan to perform the 'Illusion Sharingan', even if it is the Three Magatama Sharingan, once the spell is successfully cast, it is impossible for outsiders to awaken them without contacting the person being cast.

However, just in case, Qing Ming still planned to get rid of these two people.

He did it as he thought. Qingming let go of Yano Sou, then released Susanoo, and then his figure flashed and appeared in front of Akita who had a broken arm.

huh~
The long knife was waved.

The 'Illusion Sword Technique' and the 'Shadow Sword Technique' were performed at the same time, and six sword shadows, three real and three virtual, appeared. Akita Li had no time to dodge them, and two more scars appeared on his body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qing Ming used the "Instant Sword Technique", came behind him, and then stabbed him with a knife, instantly piercing his heart.

"Uh"

Akita had a dazed look on his face. He looked down at the tip of the knife that had pierced his chest, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Qing Ming drew out his sword, let Akita's body fall to the ground, and turned his gaze to Miura Naosuke.

The opponent was hit in the chest by his Rasengan, and his injuries were no less serious than those of Akita.

Therefore, he solved the problem without wasting much time.

At this point, the only person still alive from the second Cloud Ninja Squad was Yano So.
