Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 717 Mission
In the study room.

After laughing for a while, the Uchiha elder stopped smiling and his expression became extremely serious.

He quietly opened his Sharingan, stared at the person in front of him, and said calmly: "Who else knows about this?"

The visitor looked nervous and quickly replied, "Great Elder, no one knows yet."

"Oh, temporarily?"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Although he could hear some dissatisfaction in the Great Elder's tone, he still did not dare to hide it and said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, the Uchiha Great Elder pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is there a way to eliminate this hidden danger?"

"no problem."

The visitor gave an affirmative answer without any hesitation.

"very good!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said: "Then do as you think. Don't let anyone find out that Qingming is abnormal."

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Upon hearing this, the visitor felt a little relieved and nodded quickly.

Seeing him nod, the Uchiha elder closed his Sharingan.

However, he was still worried that the night would be too long and there would be more trouble.

So, I didn't let the other party stay for long. After giving him a few instructions, I let him leave and went downstairs to prepare.

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately said goodbye and left.

However, just as he turned and walked to the door of the study, the voice of the Uchiha elder came faintly from behind again.

"Huo Shi, you should know how important Qing Ming is to our clan right now, right? Don't let me down!"

This was the first time that the Great Uchiha Elder addressed the visitor by name, and there was a strong warning in his words, and it was obvious that he did not want him to tell anyone the news.

When Uchiha Huoshi heard the words of the Great Elder, his body trembled slightly.

Then, without turning his head, he hurriedly said, "Flint doesn't dare."

"Ah."

The Uchiha elder snorted in response, not making any comment on his assurance.

In front, seeing that the Great Elder stopped talking, Uchiha Huoshi took a cautious step and left the study.

crunch~

The door was closed again.

inside the room.

The Great Uchiha Elder did not continue reading the information on the table. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

At this moment, his eyes were a little confused, but at the same time frighteningly bright.

Although he never left the house, he was well aware of the changes in the clan during this period.

Ever since Minato Namikaze took office, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, although not as close as before, is at least no longer as hostile as before.

Moreover, as Minato Namikaze expressed his intention to reform, the relationship between the two sides became closer.

It can be predicted that as long as Minato Namikaze's reform this time can be successful, the Uchiha clan is given some trust, and some interests and rights are given up, then the radicals within the clan will be reduced by more than half.

Although the Uchiha elder was the leader of the radical faction, he did not destroy the cooperation between the clan and Minato Namikaze.

Because even he had to admit that Minato Namikaze was indeed an excellent leader.

With him around, the conflicts within the tribe and the village might really be resolved peacefully with the power of time.

Don’t say that the Uchiha clan’s ninjas love war. Anyone with a little bit of brains would not like war.

It is true that some people may take risks in pursuit of power, but the vast majority of people, whether they are Uchiha ninjas or not, are just ordinary people.

And they are the majority that constitute the order of the ninja world.

If it were an ordinary world without extraordinary powers, such power would be enough to affect the world situation.

Unfortunately, this is an extraordinary world where great power belongs to individuals. One or two powerful people are enough to forcibly change the direction of the world.

Just like the establishment of the one village, one country system, it was the result of the guidance of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Therefore, peace cannot be achieved by just talking about it, it also requires sufficient strength to guarantee it.

Therefore, even though he saw good signs, the Uchiha Great Elder did not give up preparing for the backup plan.

However, this backup plan changed from cultivating a group of like-minded young people to maintaining the relationship with Qingming.

From Qing Ming's previous style of doing things, the Great Elder could tell that he was a person who could not be bound by family blood.

This means that he will never be controlled by so-called family rules or anything else.

Admittedly, this is not good news, but at the same time, it also means that he will not be a person who is at the mercy of the village.

In this way, as long as the blood relationship between the other party and the Uchiha clan is maintained, no matter what happens in the future, the Uchiha clan will have a backing to rely on.

This way, even if he left, there would be no need to worry about the Uchiha clan being swallowed up by the village.

I have to say that the Great Uchiha Elder has a very high level of judgment of people.

Indeed, if the Uchiha clan could always maintain a relatively good relationship with him, then if the family really had trouble, Qingming would not mind helping them for the sake of his original bloodline.

However, these are later stories.

As for now...

Practice is still important!

······
The Land of Fire. The Southern Ocean.

On that island.

Before he knew it, Qingming had been practicing hard for three days.

During these three days, not only did the several skills he focused on progress rapidly, but even his four latest secret techniques were successfully imprinted on the panel after the shadow clones' continuous and assiduous research.

Unfortunately, Qingming now has no extra time, energy, or chakra to spare for them.

Therefore, it can only hang there in the lv0 state.

This morning.

Just when Qingming created his shadow clone to practice as usual, a memory suddenly emerged in his mind.

Qing Ming first opened his eyes, then quickly closed them and quickly browsed through the memory information.

These memories were not sent back by the shadow clone that was practicing nearby, but by the shadow clone that stayed in the village.

According to him, the village had just assigned him an urgent task, which was of grade A difficulty and required him to personally take part in it.

As we all know, in the ninja world, missions are usually divided into different levels according to their difficulty and receive different rewards.

Among them, the easiest task is the D-level task, which has basically no risk and mainly involves some daily chores or physical labor.

For example, taking care of children, looking for pets, assisting with farm work, etc.

These tasks are usually completed by Genin or novice ninja as basic training.

The next level up is the C-level task.

This is when combat becomes necessary. Although the enemy will not be a ninja, you may encounter ordinary people with certain combat capabilities.

As for the content of the missions, they mainly include escorting, suppressing thieves, reconnaissance and other commissions that require combat effectiveness.

This is also the most common task issued by Konoha Village at this stage and even in normal times.

These missions are usually led by senior Genin or ordinary Chunin, which is necessary for rookie ninjas to accumulate mission experience.

Above that, it’s the B-level task.

At this point, the difficulty of the mission will increase dramatically.

Because at this time the team will have to fight with the hostile ninjas.

As the saying goes, the people who understand you best are always your peers.

As ninjas, they might be able to crush most ordinary people with the extraordinary power of chakra.

However, when facing an opponent who is also a ninja, you have to compete with each other in terms of strength, speed, skill, mental state, luck, etc. If you are not careful, you will die.

Therefore, the task at this time will be extremely difficult.

At the same time, the results of the mission will become unpredictable.

There is no other reason, because humans are the best at creating miracles, not to mention that these are ninjas with extraordinary powers.

For this reason, in order to ensure the survival rate and success rate of the mission, missions of this level usually require a senior Chunin or Jonin to lead the team, and the team members must also be experienced Genin.

For example, the 'Wave Country Escort Mission' that Naruto carried out for the first time, after it was upgraded from C-rank to B-rank, it should not have been continued because their team did not have the conditions at all.

Although it was finally executed, the process was extremely thrilling.

It is true that there is a hostile ninja here because of Zabuza, but Naruto also has Kakashi who is beyond his standard.

Therefore, the main reason why the mission was so difficult to complete in the end was that Naruto and others had very poor mission experience.

Naruto is the protagonist, and his teammates also have great potential.

Otherwise, the task may not be completed.

And this is just a B-level task. The difficulty of the A-level and S-level tasks can be imagined.

I won't talk about S-level...

Each of them is a major event concerning the survival of the country and the ninja village.

When it is called S-level, its real meaning should be that there is no upper limit to the difficulty. As long as it exceeds the scope of A-level, then no matter how difficult it is, it is an S-level task.

However, such missions are exclusive to Kage-level ninjas and various legendary teams, and have little to do with ordinary ninjas.

The most difficult mission that an ordinary ninja can access is an A-level mission.

That is, the mission Qingming received this time.

Because this type of mission is too difficult, it is usually completed by an elite jonin or a team of several ordinary jonin. The specific method used depends on the specific task arrangement.

There is no doubt that the mission Qingming received this time was a solo mission.

As for the specific content of the mission...

After Qing Ming finished reading the shadow clone's memory, his brows couldn't help but frown.

There is no other reason, because this mission not only involves the protection of important people, but also involves the struggles inside and outside the village.

It can be said that not only strength but also brains are needed.

But to be honest, as his strength increases, Qingming likes to use his brain less and less.

This doesn't mean that he will grow up to be a reckless man, but he has to endure great mental pressure during his daily practice.

At this time, I was still trying so hard to compete with others in wits and courage, which was really tiring.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has the strength to get through everything.

In this situation, it is normal not to want to use your brain.

And Qingming indeed intended to do so.
