Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 705 Found and Opportunity

"Is this right here?"

Deep in the Takigakure Village, in a hidden place, Qingming's figure quietly appeared.

He looked at the heavily guarded cave ahead and murmured.

This is the shadow clone disguised as Yuichi Mizutani. According to the latest investigation, it is very likely the place where the Seven-Tails is imprisoned.

If the Takigakure Village is planning to transplant the Seven-Tails and create a Jinchūriki, then they will most likely choose this place.

After all, the difficulty of moving an infant is completely disproportionate to the difficulty and risk of moving a tailed beast.

After observing the place for a while and not finding any name, Qing Ming simply concentrated his mind and rolled his eyes.

In an instant, his sight penetrated the rock wall in front of him and saw the situation deep inside.

The next moment, a huge source of chakra appeared in his eyes.

Just by seeing this chakra, he inexplicably developed a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if it was naturally corrosive and began to affect his spirit, making him feel heavy in the heart.

However, Qingming's 'spiritual' attribute is as high as 23 points, and his mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Therefore, I quickly got rid of this influence.

It was also at this time that he had the mind to check the owner of this chakra.

As you can see, this is a huge creature that has the characteristics of both an insect and a moth.

From the seven forked tails behind it and the huge pair of wings, it is not difficult to guess that it is the Seven-Tails hidden in Takigakure Village - Shigeaki.

In fact, the moment Qing Ming felt the other party's chakra, he had the answer in his heart.

After all, he had come into contact with the tailed beasts more than once.

He even used the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to absorb the chakra of the Six-Tails at close range, and was deeply impressed by their unique tailed beast chakra.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to admit mistakes.

At this moment, seeing the other person's image only further confirmed his thoughts.

Qing Ming concentrated his mind and carefully observed the condition of the Seven-Tails. From the dense sealing techniques surrounding its body, it was not difficult to see that it had been restricted here by the Takigakure Village and was even in a dormant state the entire time.

Only this can explain why the other party has never caused any trouble in Takigakure Village.

This also indirectly shows that the Takigakure Village has made great achievements in the art of sealing.

This made Qingming wonder whether the other party had obtained some of the Uzumaki clan's relics.

As everyone knows, the Uzumaki clan is the family in the entire ninja world that has done the most in-depth research on sealing techniques.

If there is anyone who can perfectly restrain the tailed beasts, it must be the Uzumaki clan without a doubt.

When he thought of this, Qingming couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.

However, he quickly suppressed this passion.

The purpose of this trip was to capture the tailed beasts, not to collect sealing techniques or the relics of the Uzumaki clan. He couldn't put the cart before the horse.

However, now that the target has been found, what should we do next? Should we act immediately? Or should we wait for an opportunity?

Qingming pondered in his heart.

At this moment, Nanao, who was being stared at by him, suddenly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes are those?
Indifference? Tyranny? Or hatred?

For a moment, Qingming couldn't tell the difference.

But the sudden opening of the insect's compound eyes really scared him.

Before, he thought that the other party was sleeping, but now it seems that this conclusion was wrong.

wait~

Maybe it’s not wrong…

Qingming shifted his gaze and looked at the people surrounding Nanabi.

That’s right, deep in the cave, beside Nanao, there were several Taki ninjas. They were crawling on the ground, meticulously carving out the sealing ritual.

This sealing ritual is roughly divided into two parts, like two rings spliced ​​together.

The larger circle encircled the Qiwei, while the smaller circle contained a baby several months old, lying on a blanket, sucking his fingers and sleeping, unaware of anything in the outside world.

There is no doubt that this child is the future Seven-Tails Jinchuriki - Fu.

And what those Taki ninjas are doing is to seal the Seven-Tails into Fu's body.

Perhaps it was this action that awakened Nanao from his long slumber.

After all, the tailed beasts are not brainless beasts. They possess intelligence no less than that of humans. When they encounter threats, they will naturally react.

As for the threats...

It's very simple, it was sealed into the body of the Jinchūriki.

Indeed, they possess the property of immortality, and even if they are killed, they can revive themselves after a few years.

But as long as it is an intelligent life and there is still a glimmer of hope, it is impossible to face death calmly.

If they are not sealed into the bodies of the Jinchūriki, they can still have a chance to escape by relying on their long lifespans and their own strength.

Once they are sealed into a human body, life and death will no longer be theirs. If the Jinchūriki dies, they will die too.

No intelligent life would remain indifferent to this situation of being controlled by others.

Therefore, it is normal for the other party to wake up.

However, Qing Ming did not seem to have thought of a possibility, that it was his peeping that woke the other party from a deep sleep.

After all, the tailed beasts' sensitivity to the Byakugan, Sharingan and other abilities passed down from ancient times is simply incomparable to that of ordinary ninjas.

They are also well aware of the power of these abilities, so it is normal for them to be awakened.

All I can say is that those involved are the most confused!

While Qingming was daydreaming, Taki, who was carving the sealing ritual, had already discovered that Nanabi had awakened.

They were startled at first, then immediately used the sealing techniques around them, sealing the Seven-Tails again as usual, causing it to fall into a deep sleep.

However, this time, Nanao was not going to give in so easily.

Although it had never experienced being sealed into a Jinchūriki's body and had no idea what the Taki-nin on the ground were doing, the danger it instinctively sensed made it choose to resist.

Of course, there is another reason why it does this, and that is that there is an unknown enemy, Qingming, outside.

Yes, it's the enemy.

Although it did not see Qingming, it still used its keen perception to discover the deep-seated greed in Qingming's prying eyes.

This made it even more afraid to fall into sleep.

Therefore, with various factors combined, it chose the simplest and most brutal method, which is resistance.

Wow~
There was a sound like chains being disturbed.

The sealing techniques activated by several Taki ninjas around turned into chains and wrapped around the Seven-Tails, but the Seven-Tails' violent struggle made them seem a little overwhelmed.

Outside, the Takigakure Anbu stationed there discovered the movement in the cave and immediately sent half of their men to break in.

In addition, some high-ranking members of Takigakure entered from another cave and came into the sealed room.

They looked at Nanao who was struggling hard, and each of them had a grim look on their face.

Immediately, an older senior member of Takigakure asked, "What on earth is going on? How did it suddenly wake up? Didn't we just reinforce the seal over the past period of time?"

Hearing the elder's question, the Takigakure jonin in charge of the sealing shook his head and replied: "It's not clear yet. The other party suddenly became like this. We can only suppress him first."

Hearing this, Elder Takigakure immediately looked at the Anbu next to him and said, "Nanabi can't lose control for no reason. You should immediately arrange for people to search the surroundings to see if there is anyone hiding."

"Yes, elder!"

Upon hearing this, the Takigakure ANBU immediately responded and said yes.

Then, he used a 'telekinesis' to leave the sealing room.

It has to be said that Elder Takiyin's reaction was very sharp. He immediately thought of the external enemy, but this also gave Qingming an opportunity.

Looking at the scattered Takigakure Anbu, the corners of Qingming's mouth curled up under the mask, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then, he followed one of them quietly.
