Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 749 A brief confrontation

On the other side, Qingming heard Uchiha Obito's question.

However, he did not answer immediately, but took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag without paying attention to anyone around.

Then, he raised his hands, formed seals, and cast the "Sealing Array".

The next moment, Uchiha Obito's broken arm disappeared from his hand.

At the same time, a big word "Seal" appeared on the scroll.

Apparently, the broken arm containing Hashirama's cells was sealed in this scroll.

Qing Ming put the scroll away with satisfaction.

Then, he turned his attention back to Uchiha Obito.

Now that his goal has been achieved and he has no worries in his heart, he doesn't mind chatting with the other party.

However, looking at Uchiha Obito's current expression, it seemed that he didn't want to hear his answer.

In fact, it is true.

After seeing Qingming sealing his broken arm as if no one was around, Uchiha Obito's face under the mask turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

It's just that he needs time to recover from the injury on his arm, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.

And now, his right arm has recovered.

So, I don’t want to listen to Qingming’s nonsense anymore.

Whoosh whoosh~
Several kunai flew out, aiming directly at the vital points of Qingming's body.

However, such an attack posed no threat at all to Qingming's Mangekyō Sharingan.

In just a moment, his eyes locked onto the flight paths of the kunai.

Then, he dodged their attacks easily with a flash of his body.

On the other hand, Uchiha Obito did not expect that a few kunai could kill Qingming. He threw these kunai just to interfere with Qingming's vision.

Almost at the moment when Qingming dodged the kunai, he used the ability of "Shenwei" again.

Unlike ordinary people, with the powerful vitality provided by Hashirama's cells, Uchiha Obito is not worried at all about the deterioration of vision caused by excessive use of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Therefore, whenever he made a move, he used the teleportation ability of 'Shenwei'.

Silently, his figure appeared behind Qingming.

Then, he thrust out a kunai, aiming directly at Qingming's back.

At this moment, if it were anyone else, even if they opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, if they did not awaken the corresponding eye technique, they might be caught off guard.

But Qingming is different.

He had already mastered the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to level 9, and could clearly sense the changes in the surrounding space.

Therefore, the moment the other party appeared, he was aware of the other party's position.

This gave him enough time to deal with the opponent's sneak attack.

Qingming pushed the ground with one foot and moved sideways to the right, avoiding the kunai attack from behind, and turned to look at Uchiha Obito.

The moment the two looked at each other, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan once again without any hesitation and launched an illusion.

Since the previous confrontation has proven that his illusion ability is superior to his opponent, he will naturally make full use of this advantage.

However, Uchiha Obito had already been hit once, so he was only dazed for a moment before returning to normal.

But this moment was enough for Qingming to seize the opportunity.

He did not use his iconic long sword. Although Uchiha Obito would most likely guess his identity later, it was better to keep it secret for a while.

A kunai slipped into his hand, and then he swung it, cutting towards Uchiha Obito's throat.

The first thing Uchiha Obito saw when he came to his senses was the kunai coming towards him. Without any hesitation, he immediately used the hollowing ability of Kamui to move his neck into the Kamui space.

Qingming's kunai slashed across the opponent's throat, but there was no feeling of touching anything solid, it just felt like it was slashing through the air.

And almost at the moment when his kunai left the opponent's body, Uchiha Obito's counterattack arrived.

He flashed to Qingming's left side, then stretched out his right hand and used the ninjutsu again - Wood Release: Insertion Technique!
Looking at the opponent's regrown right arm and the wooden thorn growing on the palm of his right arm, Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The vitality of Hashirama's cells is really strong!
You know, Hashirama Senju himself has been dead for decades, but the cells left behind by the other party still have such strong vitality.

It’s hard to imagine how strong the other person’s vitality was when he was alive!

It is no wonder that in later generations, when Uchiha Madara saw Tsunade, who had activated the 'Ninja Method·Creation Regeneration·One Hundred Healings Technique' and became nearly immortal, his reaction was so calm.

I'm afraid that Hashirama Senju is usually in this state.

For this reason, Qingming is increasingly looking forward to the changes that will be brought to him after assimilating Hashirama's cells into his body.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Qing Ming looked at the wooden thorn that was so close to him, and immediately leaped back to create some distance, narrowly avoiding the attack of the wooden thorn.

Then, he suddenly rushed forward, opened his mouth and spit out a fireball of medium size, which hit Uchiha Obito in the face.

Feeling the scorching heat from the fireball, Uchiha Obito did not choose to cast a spell to resist, but instead used the ability of "Kamiu" again to virtualize himself.

The next moment, the fireball passed through his body and hit a big tree behind him, then exploded with a bang.

Uchiha Obito ignored the flames behind him. He looked at Qingming not far ahead, flashed forward, and swung the kunai in his hand again, stabbing at Qingming's heart.

Generally speaking, attacking the opponent's heart in this face-to-face position is a very dangerous move, because the opponent may choose to die together with you or exchange injuries at any time.

In this case, the best option is actually to attack the opponent's throat or other areas that are easier to change moves.

In this way, you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

But Uchiha Obito is different. As he possesses the ability to become hollow, he is least afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries.

In other words, he hoped Qingming would do so.

Unfortunately, Qingming knew his abilities too well and didn't give him this opportunity.

Almost immediately, he chose to retreat.

And Uchiha Obito took advantage of the situation to give chase.

In this way, the two sides fought back and forth, and in a short period of time, dozens of moves were exchanged.

However, due to the Mangekyō Sharingan, neither of them was able to hurt the other.

At a certain moment, after another kunai stabbed into the air, Qingming suddenly stopped the subsequent combo, pushed the ground with both feet, and suddenly distanced himself from Uchiha Obito.

Seeing this, Uchiha Obito was stunned. Fearing that there was a trap, he did not pursue immediately.

This temporarily stopped the fight between the two.

Standing about five or six meters apart, Qing Ming slightly retracted the kunai in his hand, then looked at Uchiha Obito in front of him and said, "Do you want to continue? If you keep fighting, your identity will be exposed."

Hearing Qingming's words with implicit threat, Uchiha Obito's right eye, which was only exposed, shrank slightly.

But soon, he returned to normal and replied indifferently: "Really? Then should I call you Uchiha Qingming or Uchiha Shisui?"

Obviously, the battle just now had made him go over in his mind the Uchiha ninja who might awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Finally, he set his sights on Qingming and Uchiha Shisui, two famous Uchiha geniuses.

As for the other party's question, Qing Ming did not comment, but just said: "We have no hatred or resentment, how about we not interfere with each other?"

"No grudges?"

Hearing Qing Ming's words, Uchiha Obito's cheek twitched slightly under the mask. He glanced at his right arm, which was still aching, and thought to himself, "Then what's wrong with my arm?"

However, after fighting for so long, he almost understood that Qingming's target was most likely his right arm, or in other words, the Hashirama cells in his right arm.

As for the rest, they are just appearances.
