Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 707: Seizing and Cutting the Gordian knot

This Taki ninja was none other than Hayakawa Yoto, the special jonin of the sealing squad who was in charge of this sealing.

Qing Ming locked his target on him to ensure that the other party's sealing ceremony was interrupted.

huh~
Cold light flickered.

Qingming swung his right hand, and a kunai slipped out from his sleeve and was held in his palm.

Then, it struck the opponent's neck like lightning.

Qingming's actions were too fast and too sudden. Although Elder Takigakure had just given a warning, Hayakawa Yoto was still half a beat slow to react.

He is just a special jonin who is good at sealing techniques, and he is not very proficient in fighting, especially in close combat.

Therefore, Qingming's kunai accurately cut across the opponent's throat.

"Ho ho ho"

Feeling a strong sense of suffocation, Hayakawa Yoto took several steps back, covering his neck, his eyes full of disbelief.

He seemed to find it hard to believe that he was going to die.

Yes, as a senior ninja who is good at sealing, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a treasure in a small ninja village like Takigakure.

In the past, he was always accompanied by the Anbu whenever he traveled, so he didn't have to worry about his safety at all.

But today...

Hayakawa Yoto looked at the 'late' Anbu and Qingming with indifference in his pupils, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

Perhaps, he should not rely entirely on others for his safety. If he were given another chance, he would definitely spend part of his time practicing.

In the ninja world, no matter whether it is sealing techniques or any other abilities, they are ultimately just auxiliary. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong.

At the last moment of his life, Hayakawa Yoto finally understood this truth.

Unfortunately, it's too late!
bang~
A dull sound was heard, and Hayakawa Yoto's body fell heavily to the ground.

It may sound like a long process, but in fact, all this happened in a flash.

After Hayakawa Yoto fell to the ground, Great Elder Takigakure finally reacted and growled, “Yoto!”

"Damn it, kill him for me!"

An angry voice came out of his mouth, and his eyes as he looked towards Qingming were full of murderous intent.

In fact, without his orders, those Takigakure Anbu had already started to act.

Unfortunately, even though they are the elite members of Takigakure Village, their strength is just that in front of Qingming.

Qing Ming did not open his Sharingan, but simply relied on the powerful perception brought by his 23 points of 'Spirit' attribute to avoid their first wave of double-teaming.

Seeing the opportunity, Qing Ming raised his hand, and instantly formed the five seals of 'Si - Wei - Shen - Hai - Yin', and performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Lance!

Although this technique is only a C-level ninjutsu, but when used in the right place, its power is no less than that of ordinary B-level ninjutsu, or even higher.

As for which place is more suitable?
It's simple, a closed environment is enough.

For example, this cave in front of us.

pop~
Qing Ming pressed one palm on the ground.

He instantly injected a large amount of Earth Style Chakra into the ground, connecting the earth veins and generating hundreds of rock spikes.

These rock spikes were controlled by Qingming and stabbed at the Taki ninja in the cave.

Forced by them, these Taki ninjas had to dodge one after another.

Thus, under Qingming's intentional manipulation, a large area around Nanabi was given up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming flashed to Nanabi's side and was about to attack Nanabi.

But these Taki ninjas were not fools. The moment he attacked, they guessed that his purpose might be related to Nanao.

Now seeing him approaching Nanao, he naturally reacted violently.

Almost immediately, several people took action, either throwing kunai, performing ninjutsu, or forcibly breaking through the barrier created by the "Earth Style: Earth Spear" and rushed towards him, attempting to kill him on the spot.

At the very least, I have to stick with him.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming curled his lips slightly under the mask, and had no intention of confronting them head-on.

With his keen perception and excellent physical fitness, he dodged their attacks with several quick moves.

Not only that, he also took the opportunity to stick to Nana-Tails, and raised his hand to cast the 'Seal of Self-Karma Binding' to control it.

But Nanao seemed to sense the danger and immediately launched an indiscriminate attack on him and all the Taki ninjas in the cave.

Before this, the other party had already broken free from some of the seals. Just now, the several Taki ninjas who were responsible for suppressing it were forced away by him.

This gives Nanao more room to move around.

When it flapped its wings, it not only created a strong wind, but also spread countless scales in the cave.

Strong winds are nothing, whether it is Qingming or Takinin, as long as they gather chakra at the soles of their feet, they can basically keep their bodies steady.

But scale powder is different.
Not only can it block people's vision and affect their perception, it is also highly poisonous. Once inhaled or touched, the whole body will be paralyzed and unable to move.

These are the tailed beasts. If they are given even the slightest chance, they can cause enormous casualties.

No wonder people regard them as symbols of disaster!
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qing Ming quickly gathered his thoughts. While stabilizing his body, he concentrated his mind and opened his white eyes.

Suddenly, his vision that was disturbed by the scales recovered, and he regained the perception of the surrounding chakra.

"Ok?"

Qing Ming seemed to have discovered something, and his body suddenly flashed, narrowly avoiding the attacks launched by several Takigakure Anbu members.

Obviously, these Takigakure Anbu were very aware of Nanabi's abilities. Although they were affected to some extent, they still managed to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, they didn't expect that Qingming would be unaffected by the Seven-Tailed Fox.

That's right, it's not affected.

The deadly poison carried by the scales was directly resisted by his superior physical fitness. Although he was not immune to it, he could still move freely.

In this case, the sneak attack would naturally not succeed.

However, Qingming did not counterattack them.

This time, his main goal was to capture the Nanabi rather than to cause trouble for Takigakure Village.

So, there is no need to create unnecessary complications.

What's more, this is a great opportunity that cannot be missed.

Through the Byakugan vision, Qingming clearly saw a hint of panic in Nanabi's compound eyes.

He smiled slightly, and without waiting for the next move, he cast the 'Seal of Self-Karma Binding'.

In an instant, dense black lines appeared, covering Nanabi's entire body, making it unable to move.

Nanabi struggled hard, but it was of no use except for consuming a little more chakra from Qingming.

On the other side, seeing that the Seven-Tails was tied up, several members of the Takigakure Sealing Squad who had recovered immediately stepped forward and were about to activate the sealing ritual on the ground to seal Qingming and the Seven-Tails together.

Unfortunately, their actions were still too slow.

Almost as soon as they took action, Qingming opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Then, he activated the pupil technique residing in his left eye - Heaven's Control!

In just a moment, Qingming and Nanabi disappeared from everyone's sight.

This scene made all the Taki ninjas in the cave stand still.

For a moment, the cave was quiet.

After a few breaths, someone murmured, "How is this possible?"

This sound was like a signal, instantly breaking the silence in the cave.

Immediately, the cave was filled with noise. Some people were searching for Qingming and Qiwei, some were guessing Qingming's methods, and some were urgently trying to contact the outside world.

All in all, it seems very confusing.

Seeing this, Great Elder Takigakure frowned slightly and shouted in a low voice, "Silence!"

Upon hearing this, all the Taki ninjas immediately quieted down.

Elder Takigakure glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The other party is carrying the Seven-Tails, so there is no way he can get far. The village is now blocked inside and outside, so he must still be in the village, or even near this cave. You must organize people to search immediately."

"Yes, Great Elder!"

After hearing what Great Elder Takigakure said, all the Takigakure ninjas finally regained some composure and responded in unison.

However, just as they were about to act, a Taki nin suddenly ran in in a panic.

Seeing this scene, both Great Elder Takigakure and the others had a bad feeling in their hearts.

And his next words confirmed their premonition.
