Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 772 Infiltration
Circling high in the sky, Qingming carefully looked at the Hidden Mist Village below.

It can be seen that the Hidden Mist Village covers a large area and is located in a huge valley. It is surrounded by high mountains, lush forests, and dense river networks, making it very hidden.

However, there are gains and losses.

Such an environment indeed makes the Hidden Mist Village very hidden, but at the same time, it also causes it to be shrouded in thick fog and dark clouds all year round, making it almost impossible for sunlight to penetrate.

Qing Ming estimated that the reason why the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village had more extreme personalities was not only because of the village’s policies, but was probably also related to this environment.

After all, people and the environment can influence each other.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming suddenly shook his head and wondered why he was thinking about these things. He was not the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, so he didn't need to worry about these things.

Now, what he needs to do is to sneak in and complete the task assigned by Minato Namikaze.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming moved a little further away from the Hidden Mist Village, then lowered his altitude and landed on a nearby big tree.

Then, he loosened the seal between his brows and opened his Byakugan.

Suddenly, his field of vision changed, and everything in front of him seemed to turn black and white. He could easily see through the things in front of him and see what was behind him.

Moreover, they are also very sensitive to chakra-related energy.

And in his field of vision, the Hidden Mist Village in the distance, although seemingly normal on the outside, was actually shrouded in a layer of perception barrier.

It can be predicted that without the correct code formula, once you pass through this barrier, you will definitely be sensed by the ninja inside, unless...
He went through the main gate of the Hidden Mist Village!

However, looking at the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village, the entire Water Kingdom has been blocked by them, not to mention the center of it all!
Now, the intensity of the inspection for his entry and exit is definitely beyond imagination. Not to mention that it is late at night and particularly conspicuous, even in the daytime, if he dares to go through the main gate, he will most likely be caught.

After all, as for the means of disguising his identity, he had no more sophisticated means except the common "transformation technique".

Therefore, being discovered is almost inevitable.

Besides, he didn't want to wait until tomorrow.

In this situation, if it were someone else, they would probably be stumped.

Next, they would either have to force their way through the barrier and then use their superb concealment skills to avoid the search and pursuit of the Mist Patrol.

Or, you can find a way to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village and then act accordingly.

But no matter which one it is, it is almost certain to attract the attention of the Mist Ninja.

However, Qingming is different.

With the "Sky Control", he can pass through the barrier and enter the Hidden Mist Village without anyone noticing.

At that time, there would be no need to worry about the Mist Ninja's hunt, and naturally we could collect intelligence more calmly.

Qingming did it as he thought. He circled the Hidden Mist Village and observed from the periphery for a long time.

Finally, he found a direction and moved straight towards the perception barrier.

Because of the barrier of fog, Qingming was not worried about being discovered by the Mist Ninjas stationed near the barrier.

Therefore, they approached within fifty meters in one go.

However, this is almost the limit.

If he goes any further, his chances of being discovered will greatly increase.

Therefore, it is time to use "Heaven's Control".

As soon as he thought of this, Qingming directly opened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Then, with a thought, the pupil technique residing in his left eye was activated.

Silently, the power of 'Heaven' covered his body.

For a moment, Qingming felt as if he was pulled out of this world. Although he seemed to be still standing in the same place, he was actually no longer in the same time and space as the ninja world.

Although this feeling was a bit strange, Qingming had already adapted to it. Therefore, after stretching his body a little, he didn't waste any more time and walked straight towards the barrier of the Hidden Mist Village.

Soon, he arrived in front of the barrier.

At this moment, in his white-eyed vision, this layer of barrier was glowing with bright light, and various sealing techniques were constantly flowing on it, as if its power was pushed to the limit.

But unfortunately, it didn't work for him.

Qing Ming took a step forward and crossed the barrier. Like a ghost, he walked straight into the Hidden Mist Village.

During this period, there was no change in the sealing technique on the barrier, and the people who controlled the barrier naturally would not notice anything unusual.

Qing Ming walked past several Kirigakure ninjas stationed nearby. One of the Kirigakure ninjas seemed to have noticed something and looked around, but found nothing.

Qing Ming paused and looked at the other person, muttering, "Intuition? It's really amazing!"

After saying this, he took another step and walked deeper into the Hidden Mist Village.

Passing through the barrier did not mean that he had arrived in the heart of the Hidden Mist Village.

On the contrary, his current location can only be considered the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village.

This is just like Konoha, the area covered by the perception barrier is far more than just the densely populated village in the middle.

In fact, a large area around it is also within its coverage.

These places are not only where the village opens up training grounds, sets up various secret organizations, cultivates various rare medicinal herbs and trains animals, but they are also the last line of defense for the village against foreign enemies.

Konoha is arranged like this, and the Hidden Mist Village is similar.

Walking in it, with the help of the perspective of his white eyes, he clearly found many traces of artificial buildings in its underground part.

In addition, there are Mist Ninjas stationed and patrolling in some key places on the ground.

Looking at these people, Qing Ming thought for a while and temporarily stopped moving forward.

He came to a relatively secluded place, hid behind a tree, and with a thought, he released the ability of "Heaven's Control".

Silently, he appeared on the field.

"Whoo~~~"

Qing Ming let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes, and finally felt a little better.

Indeed, his current Sharingan has been upgraded to the level of Eternal Mangekyō, and there is no risk of blindness.

However, he still found it a bit exhausting to perform for such a long time.

So, it’s better to take a short break.

In addition, he also planned to take this opportunity to capture a few Mist Ninjas and find out from them what exactly happened in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although these non-core personnel probably won't know much, even if they only know some current situations, they can provide him with some reference.

In this way, he can save some effort when collecting specific intelligence.

Besides, he had a private matter to attend to.
In another timeline, the resurrected Three-Tails was recaptured by the Hidden Mist Village and then sealed into the body of Yagura Karatachi.

Now, he has also set his sights on this tailed beast, so naturally he has to make some preparations in advance.

This was also the main reason why he carried out this mission with great pleasure.

As for how to do it specifically.
He already had some ideas in his mind.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming quietly moved towards the Mist Hidden Team in front of him that had just completed a patrol mission.
