Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 775: Unexpected Gains and Confirmation

bang~
bang~
Throwing the two people in his hands to the ground, Qing Ming did not immediately cast a spell to read their memories. Instead, he kept his byakuyan open and observed the situation around him.

After a long time, he finally felt relieved after confirming that the perception barrier of the Hidden Mist Village was the same as that of Konoha and did not have the ability to sense fluctuations in the internal space.

Come to think of it, for a barrier of this size, it would be good enough if it could take one aspect into consideration. How could it be possible to take everything into consideration?

What's more, the big shots in the village all have their own secrets. If a barrier is created that can monitor all changes inside at any time, it will not be very convenient for them.

Qing Ming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He turned his gaze back to the two people on the ground.

Just like before, he first raised his hands to form seals, cast the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', and began to absorb the chakras of the two.

After he had absorbed most of their chakra and made sure they had no strength to resist, he began the next step and prepared to cast a spell to read their memories.

However, one of them is a ninja from the Kirigakure Anbu, and the other may be a spy from another village. Neither of them is easy to deal with.

Therefore, Qing Ming hesitated for a long time about which target to read first, and finally made a decision to start with the middle-aged Mist Ninja.

There is no special reason for choosing the other person, it’s simply because the other person is not that important to him.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens during the memory reading process, it doesn’t matter.

However, even though he thought this in his heart, Qingming was still very careful in his actions.

Indeed, it doesn’t matter what problems the other party has, but it would be bad if he was implicated.

There are countless secret techniques in the ninja world. Who knows if there are any traps in the other party’s mind?
If it was an ordinary ninja, no one would bother with this effort, but this middle-aged Mist Ninja might be a spy, so it's not certain.

So, it’s better to be careful.

And it turned out that his caution was right.

Just as Qingming was about to read the deeper memories of this middle-aged Mist Ninja, a seal suddenly appeared.

Not only did it completely seal the opponent's memory, it also followed the mental power that he probed out when reading the memory, and wrapped it around him in the opposite direction, as if to seal his memory as well.

It can be predicted that if he is allowed to succeed, he will become a "fool" on the spot.

But unfortunately, Qingming had already prepared for this.

After realizing that something was wrong, he hesitated for a moment, then immediately mobilized a large amount of mental power, which poured into the other party's mind, temporarily delaying the formation of the seal.

Looking at the slowly 'wriggling' seal, Qing Ming nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the moment the seal appeared, he had the opportunity to withdraw his mental power.

But why would he do the opposite?
The answer is simple, he is interested in this sealing technique.

It can be predicted that in the future, whether he wants to capture more tailed beasts or collect more "magical skills", he will need to deploy a large number of spies in other villages.

With the 'transcription seal', this step is not difficult.

But the key point is that once the 'transcription seal' is activated, these hidden pieces will most likely be exposed, and then there will be no way to conceal his existence.

Originally, the 'Seal to Eradicate Tongue Trouble' which had been tested in actual combat was very suitable.

But unfortunately, as an important means for Danzo to control his subordinates, he did not place it in the secret storage room of the Root Base.

Therefore, Qingming did not get anything when he searched there.

Now, if he can learn the sealing technique in front of him, and combine it with the illusion ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he can almost do something similar.

Suppressing his inner excitement, Qing Ming quickly gathered his thoughts, and then, while the seal was not yet formed, he concentrated his energy and carefully observed the composition of the technique.

Generally speaking, the techniques revealed in the process of forming the sealing technique have all undergone deformation, reduction, and even fusion.

It is basically impossible for ordinary people to reverse the original techniques through these methods within a very limited time.

But Qingming is different. He has mastered many sealing techniques to perfection, and with his own abilities, he has created a sealing technique that has the potential to reach S-level.

In this case, his understanding of the sealing technique is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't do it.

In addition, although the sealing technique in front of him is rather peculiar, the difficulty of learning is actually not that high. It’s just that the person who created it has a different way of thinking.

In this way, as long as he grasps the direction, it is not difficult to learn.

Time passes minute by minute.

Inside the cave.

All quiet!
At this moment, apart from the faint breathing sounds of the three people, the only sound here was the rushing sound of flowing water outside.

And in such a quiet environment, at a certain moment, Qingming suddenly opened his eyes.

The middle-aged Mist Ninja in front of him also opened his eyes at the same time as he did.

However, unlike his contentment, the middle-aged Mist Ninja in front of him had blood coming out of all seven orifices and looked extremely horrible.

Moreover, after glaring at him, the other party lost his breath.

Qing Ming was not too surprised about this.

After all, in order to delay the formation of the 'Heart Locking Seal', he had infused a large amount of mental power into the other party's mind.

In this situation, it is normal for the opponent to be "burst".

As for the 'Heart Lock Seal'.
This is the name Qingming gave to the sealing technique he had just learned, which is also the name given to the sealing technique in the other person's mind.

As the name suggests, the effect of this sealing technique is to 'lock' the target's heart, that is, memory, when necessary.

At this point, unless one obtains the corresponding 'key', even someone who knows the same technique will not be able to read the target's memory.

That’s right, Qingming was ultimately unable to read the deep memories of this middle-aged Mist Ninja.

However, just the surface memory alone has already allowed him to gain a lot.

Just as he had speculated before, this man was indeed a spy.

Of course, which village or force it was from was part of his deep memory, and he didn't know.

But he knew the other party's purpose of coming out tonight, which was to contact someone and hand over the intelligence he had collected recently to the other party.

That’s right, besides him, there was another person who sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village tonight.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party had already come in a long time ago.

In short, he is definitely not from the Hidden Mist Village.

This gave Qingming a great idea.

It can be imagined that under such circumstances, anyone who dares to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village must be very powerful.

If he wanted to place his own 'eyes' in the Kirigakure Anbu, he had to find an opportunity.

If he could reveal his location, it would definitely attract the attention of the Hidden Mist Village.

By then, he could completely take advantage of the situation and achieve his goal without anyone noticing.

As for verifying information
The spy in front of him had already done this for him. The intelligence that the other party was going to hand over tonight included the real reason why Karuta Yagura suddenly blocked the entire territory of the Water Kingdom.

It was basically the same as he guessed, which was related to Karatachi Yagura's change to the 'Blood Mist Policy' formulated by the Third Mizukage, but it was more detailed.

So, next, he just needs to do his own thing.

However, he still needs to think carefully about how to do it specifically.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming unconsciously turned his gaze towards the Kirigakure Anbu who was still in a coma.
