Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 718 Departure
After staying there for a while and sorting out the information in his mind, Qing Ming stopped wasting time and prepared to return to the village.

However, before that, he first released the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, all the shadow clones that were practicing in the nearby sea area disappeared.

What followed was a large amount of practice experience and memories flooding into the mind.

Qing Ming quickly closed his eyes, carefully sorted out the information, digested and absorbed it, and finally converted it into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

Time passes minute by minute.

About ten minutes later, Qingming opened his eyes again.

After checking his equipment one last time and making sure there were no problems, he immediately sensed the Flying Thunder God mark at home, and with a thought, he activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

The vision in front of him suddenly turned, and the next moment, Qingming returned to the village and appeared in his own bedroom.

In front of him was the shadow clone who had just received the mission.

Qing Ming nodded at the other party, then took the task scroll from his hand.

After opening it, read the contents on the scroll carefully.

In fact, this mission is both simple and difficult.

It’s simple because he only needs to rush to the territory of the Land of Thunder and escort one person back.

The difficulty lies in the fact that this person is not only being watched by the people of the Hidden Cloud Village, but also by some people inside Konoha. The person might have died before he arrives.

Even if we pick up the person, we will be chased and intercepted by both the enemy and us.

Therefore, the specific situation will depend on how subsequent events develop.

As for what this person did and why he was targeted like this?

This matter starts with the research notes left by the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

As we all know, Tobirama Senju is a talented researcher.

The famous "Flying Thunder God Technique" now in the hands of Minato Namikaze, the "Impure World Reincarnation" that will almost subvert the ninja world in the future, and the "Shadow Clone Technique" that everyone can use are all the results of his research.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of his research. The research materials he left behind after his death almost filled an entire room.

There are completed techniques, half-finished techniques, and some techniques that have just been started and only have ideas.

And this mission is related to the third technique.

The Hidden Cloud Village saw the value of Tobirama Senju's research from Minato Namikaze's 'Flying Thunder God Technique' which could appear and disappear without a trace.

So, after a long period of planning, with the help of some spies, he stole some of Senju Tobirama's research data.

At first, Konoha hadn't noticed it yet.

It was also by chance that one of the spies sent by Konoha to the Hidden Cloud Village came into contact with the village's secret research, and thus discovered the information.

Not only that, he also discovered that the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have really researched some tricks and created the prototype of an extremely terrifying forbidden technique.

As for what type of forbidden technique it is, the mission scroll does not state it, it only says that it is a forbidden technique that can play a huge role on the battlefield.

After confirming this, the Konoha Anami immediately destroyed the research data, killed several Cloud Ninjas in charge of the research, and then fled the Hidden Cloud Village with the research results.

Currently, he is being hunted by the Hidden Cloud Village.

His mission is to pick up the other party and escort him back safely.

This seems to be only related to external enemies, so how come it is related to internal factors as well?
It's simple, the Kumogakure spy who stole research data from the village has not been caught yet.

The people who can access this kind of information are definitely not ordinary people. Therefore, he also has to pay attention to the plots of his own people.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Qingming said before that this mission requires thinking.

Fortunately, his strength is strong enough. As long as he can successfully pick up the person, he can kill his way out directly with his hard power.

With a plan in mind, Qingming didn't think any more about it. He quickly packed up his equipment and sealed up some things that might be used. He immediately left the house and walked towards the gate of Konoha.

To be honest, he could easily cancel the shadow clone in the village, and then leave the island directly and rush to his destination.

But doing so might expose his 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Therefore, he would rather make an extra trip than take such a risk.

In addition, this move can also lure the snake out of its hole.

If those dark creatures in the clouds really had that much power, they might have some ideas about him.

By then, whether it is interception or tracking and surveillance, he will be able to discover something in reverse.

It just so happened that his "Ninjutsu: Mind Reading Technique" had been perfected, but had not yet been truly put into practice. If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind testing the effect on these people.

Of course, the prerequisite is that these people act as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no chance.

It turns out that his title of "Ghost Sword" does have some deterrent effect, or perhaps the spy from the Hidden Cloud Village does not want to reveal his identity.

In short, there was no ambush or surveillance on the road after he left the village.

This completely ruined his plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Pity!"

Outside of Konoha Village, on a forest path, Qingming used the perspective of his Byakugan to observe his surroundings for the last time and sighed softly.

After saying that, he didn't waste any more time, raised his hands and formed seals, performed 'Chakra Feather Robe' and 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', flew into the sky, and flew towards the direction of the Land of Lightning.

The last time he supported the front line, because there were too many people in the team, he could only follow them step by step to reach the destination.

This time, he was alone and could completely ignore the dangerous terrain and fly over from the sky.

This is also one of the main reasons why Minato Namikaze assigned this urgent task to him.

Now, when it comes to mobility, no one in the village can compare to him except Namikaze Minato who openly masters the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

In fact, to some extent, his mobility is even better than that of his opponent.

After all, casting the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' requires special marks, and it is impossible for Minato Namikaze to leave marks all over the world.

Therefore, sometimes, the "Wind Style: Wind Wings" that allows free flight is more convenient.

In the sky, Qing Ming looked at the things below that were rapidly retreating, shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and began to concentrate on flying towards the Kingdom of Thunder.

His maximum flying speed is 300 meters per second. He can fly 18 kilometers in one minute, which is 1,080 kilometers in one hour.

There are several small countries between the Fire Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom, with a straight-line distance of more than two thousand kilometers.

If we take into account the distance from both villages to the border, the total length may exceed 5,000 kilometers, almost circling half of the ninja world.

For such a long distance, only Qingming has enough chakra to fly continuously.

Otherwise, if he walked and rested for a while, by the time he reached the destination, the target of the mission would probably be dead beyond death.
