Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 720 Discovery and Disruption
"what?"

When he saw Qing Ming suddenly disappear and then appear beside him in an instant, the face of this Yunyin Anbu man under the mask changed suddenly.

Without any hesitation, all the chakra in his body exploded, and his whole body turned into a flash of lightning and flashed to the other side.

As we all know, due to their heritage and the harsh environment of the country's plateau mountains, most of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village have mastered good ninjutsu, and their close combat and reaction abilities are much stronger than those of ninjas from other villages.

As the elite among the elite, the Kumogakure Anbu in front of him is even more so.

His outburst showed a reaction ability that was no less than the one when he dodged the kunai thrown by Qingming without any vision just now, and it was even better.

Sadly, this is of no use!

The moment Qingming appeared, he grabbed the kunai next to him and stabbed it with his hand.

The Kumogakure Anbu in front of them sensed the danger and had to slow down, twist their waists and move sideways to avoid the attack that was aimed straight at their throats.

During this process, the two people's eyes inevitably came into contact.

Just at this moment, Qing Ming seized the opportunity and suddenly opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Sharingan, which looked like a black sun, instantly occupied his pupils, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Drops of blood trickled down from under the mask of the Kumogakure Anbu member. With his extremely strong will and keen sense of danger, the other party bit the tip of his tongue and used the stimulation of pain to forcibly break free from the influence of hypnosis.

That’s right, hypnosis!
Because of the short time, Qingming did not have time to use the 'Illusion·Sharingan' and could only activate the hypnotic effect of the Sharingan itself.

However, this is enough.

Even though the other party reacted quickly and got rid of the influence almost instantly, it still gave Qingming a chance.

Silently, a light blue chakra ball formed in the palm of Qingming's left hand.

Then, he pressed down on the chest of the Kumogakure Anbu with lightning speed.

Click~

The crisp sound of bone cracking sounded.

Qingming's 'Rasengan' has long been perfected, and now that it is suddenly used, its power is naturally extraordinary.

In fact, this was the result of him intentionally sparing the other person's life and loosening his grip a little.

Otherwise, this one blow alone would be enough to take his life.

puff~
A large mouthful of blood spit out.

The mask on the face of this Kumogakure Anbu was instantly dyed red. He was impacted and flew backwards, crashing directly into a big tree behind him.

bang~
The back was hit hard again.

The Kumogakure Anbu finally couldn't maintain the mask on his face and let it fall off.

Qingming looked up and saw that this was a young ninja in his early twenties.

At this moment, even though he was seriously injured, there was not much fear on his face, only seriousness and confusion.

"you……"

He wanted to say something else.

But Qing Ming didn't give him the chance at all. He flashed in front of him.

Then, at the moment when the two looked at each other, he used the prepared 'Illusion Sharingan'.

Even though he cast the spell in a hurry, with the help of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Qingming was still able to easily control this Kumogakure ANBU.

Afterwards, he quickly formed hand seals and performed the 'Chakra Absorption Technique'.

In just a few breaths, he drained the opponent's chakra, as well as most of his mental and physical energy.

After confirming that he had no strength to resist, Qing Ming finally started the last step - reading his memory.

That's right, he went to so much trouble, beating him half to death, and then capturing him alive, all for the memory in his mind.

He wanted to use the other party's memory to confirm whether the Konoha spy who needed him to escort was still in this mountain.

At the same time, it is also necessary to confirm whether the search operation here is a trap for him or other rescuers.

If he had not taken all this into consideration, when the enemy was approaching, he could have used the Heavenly Control to quietly approach the enemy and then kill him.

Indeed, the strength of this Kumogakure Anbu was quite good, but only just good.

How strong can a special jonin who is good at tracking, lurking and assassination be in direct combat? If Qingming intends to launch a sneak attack, the opponent will definitely not be able to survive for more than a few moves. Shaking his head and throwing all these random thoughts behind him, Qingming's mind moved, and he concentrated again, opened his Byakugan, and observed the situation around him.

Things did not develop in the worst direction. There were indeed other Cloud Ninjas within a one-kilometer radius, but they were all conducting their own searches along the established routes and did not suddenly change direction and gather here.

In other words, the movement here did not attract the attention of others.

This made Qingming feel a little relieved.

Gathering his thoughts, Qing Ming no longer wasted time. After closing his Byakugan, he immediately raised his hands to form seals and performed the new ninjutsu that he had learned and perfected to perfection - Ninjutsu: Mind-Reading Technique!
It has to be said that every profession has its own expertise. The efficiency of using this technique to read memories is many times faster than using the 'Genjutsu Sharingan' to guide.

At this moment, the other person's memory flashed quickly before his eyes like a movie scene.

However, this secret art of mind reading is not without its drawbacks.

Among them, the most obvious one is that you cannot touch any sealed memory.

Just like now, he couldn't read any memories that were even slightly sealed in the mind of this Kumogakure Anbu.

And if it is the 'Illusion Sharingan', he can completely construct an illusion to read some memories in the target's mind that are not so tightly blocked.

However, this is enough.

Anyway, he currently has no intention of finding out the secrets of the Hidden Cloud Village. He just wants to complete the mission.

And this part of memory is not sealed.

Soon, the memory was read and Qingming opened his eyes again.

But his face didn't look so good.

It's not that the Konoha spy has been caught or left this place.

Through the memories of this Kumogakure Anbu member, Qingming confirmed that he was still hiding here.

At the same time, this was not a trap for him or other rescuers.

The reason why his face looked ugly was that he realized that he had just been tricked.

"Rolling eyes~"

With this thought in mind, Qingming concentrated his mind again and opened his Byakugan.

This time, he immediately noticed something unusual.

Just at the edge of his vision, teams of Cloud Ninja appeared and were silently surrounding him from all directions.

Obviously, the other party has already locked on his position.

Before, and including now, those Cloud Ninja Teams that were diligently carrying out search missions within a one-kilometer radius were just a decoy, done for him to see and paralyze him.

The purpose is to buy time and then mobilize enough manpower to surround and kill him.

As for why he suddenly thought of this?
It was very simple. From the memory of the Kumogakure Anbu in front of him, he knew that this mountain had long been shrouded in a secret perception barrier, and any chakra fluctuations inside could not escape surveillance.

But even so, after this Kumogakure Anbu released his chakra just now, the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas did not react at all. If this isn't a ghost, what else could it be?
Therefore, Qingming opened his white eyes and took a quick look, and indeed found something unusual.

"Humph~"

Looking at these people in his field of vision, Qing Ming snorted coldly, then his five fingers turned into knives, and he used the "Chakra Scalpel" to cut the throat of the Kumogakure Anbu in front of him.

"Hohohoho~"

The strong feeling of suffocation broke the Kumogakure Anbu out of the illusion. He covered his neck, uttered a series of unwilling sounds, and then staggered to the ground.

Qing Ming ignored the other party, dodged and left the place, hiding himself in the mountains and forests again.

Originally, he wanted to use the identity of this Kumogakure Anbu on the ground to blend in with the mountain search team and look for the trace of the Konoha spy.

but now……

Since his whereabouts have been discovered, he might as well not waste time and energy and just disrupt the situation.

He believed that if the Konoha spy was smart, he would take this opportunity to make some noise to point him in the direction, or at least leave a secret code.

In this way, he can connect with the other party as quickly as possible.

After that, things were easy...
