Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 777 Sneak Attack
The next moment, a figure emerged from the ground and quietly appeared behind Qingming Shadow's clone.

It can be seen that this person does not have any ninja village symbols on him. He is just wearing a black robe and a mask, which looks like the iconic outfit of an Anbu ninja.

Qing Ming turned around, looked at the newcomer, and said in a deep voice: "You are late!"

Hearing this, the Iwagakure ANBU said, "No, the time is just right."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

The night wind was blowing gently, and Qingming and the Iwagakure Anbu stood less than two meters apart, staring at each other.

Time passes minute by minute.

After more than ten breaths, the Iwagakure Anbu on the opposite side lost their patience first and asked, "Venom Fang, where's the information?"

'Fangs?'

Qingming was slightly stunned, then he realized that this should be the code name of the Iwagakure spy he was pretending to be.

If the other party can call out this code name, it means there is no problem with his identity.

So, he didn't bother about the meeting time anymore, but took out the scroll from his ninja tool bag and threw it to the Iwagakure Anbu one meter away.

However, facing the scroll he threw at him, the Iwagakure Anbu paused.

Through the two holes on the mask, Qingming clearly saw that the other person's eyes changed instantly, and it was a look of doubt mixed with vigilance.

All of a sudden, Qingming understood that he must have made a mistake somewhere, which caused the other party to notice the abnormality.

So, he decided to go all out and launched a sneak attack.

bang~
The ground beneath my feet exploded.

Qing Ming took a step forward and came in front of the Iwagakure Anbu, then turned his right palm into a knife, wrapped in a layer of chakra, and cut towards the opponent's throat.

This is exactly the A-level ninjutsu - Chakra Scalpel!

Faced with his sneak attack, most people would not be able to react at all.

However, the opponent is an elite member of the Anbu after all, and his reaction is quick.

Almost the next moment after Qingming launched a sneak attack, he leaned back and avoided the attack.

Then, he jumped back several times in succession, creating some distance between himself and Qingming.

Not only that, a steel wire shot out from his right wrist, entangled the scroll that was about to fall to the ground, and pulled it back into his hand.

Although Qingming had shown considerable problems, this Iwagakure Anbu still did not give up on the scroll.

As for the reason, it was very simple, that is, he recognized the special seal on the scroll.

This is a secret technique that only Iwagakure spies have mastered. The related memories are sealed by the "Locking Heart Seal", and no one else can obtain them.

Therefore, he believed that there was a certain possibility that this scroll contained true information.

Therefore, I am willing to take risks to get it.

In addition, the reason why he discovered something unusual after Qingming threw out the scroll was also because of this Heart Locking Seal.

Because they are very confident in the ability of the 'Locking Heart Seal', the Iwagakure Village always adopts a self-verification method when handing over intelligence and conducting other secret operations.

That is, when the two parties in a task meet, they will tell each other the code name or other specific secret words.

These secret codes and ciphers are usually sealed in advance, and even the process itself is sealed.

In this way, during the handover, as long as one party does not follow the process, it means there is a problem.

Just now, the Iwagakure Anbu revealed the code name of the Iwagakure spy disguised as 'Qingming', which only proves that there is no problem with his identity.

Next, according to the process, it should be Qingming who reveals the other party's code name to prove that there is no problem with his identity.

Unfortunately, due to the "Heart Lock Seal", Qing Ming did not read the relevant memories of the Iwagakure spy, so he was exposed. Fortunately, he did not intend to disguise himself perfectly in front of the Iwagakure Anbu. He only cared about the views of the Kirigakure Village from the beginning to the end.

As long as the other party doesn't doubt his identity and trace him back to the Kirigakure Anbu who attacked him, it doesn't matter.

With this thought in mind, Qingming rushed forward again and attacked the Iwagakure Anbu in front of him.

In front, the Iwagakure Anbu saw this and immediately put away the scroll in their hands, and while retreating, they planned to cast a spell and leave.

However, before he could complete the seal, he heard a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound coming from the forest.

Just by listening to the sound, he knew that it was the sound of a shuriken cutting through the air.

Not daring to be careless, he quickly jumped back and left the spot.

The next moment, several shurikens shot out from the forest and passed through the place where he had just stood.

Fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been injured.

However, this also allowed 'Qing Ming' to catch up with the other party.

brush~
Another 'Chakra Scalpel' was swung out.

Feeling the sharp aura on Qingming's right palm, the Iwagakure Anbu quickly moved sideways to avoid the attack.

However, Qingming was relentless and after one of his knife strikes missed his opponent, he swung out several more in succession, putting his opponent in danger.

As a last resort, the Iwagakure Anbu had to give up his plan to cast the spell and leave, and face Qingming head-on.

Qiang~
The sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed was heard.

After dodging Qingming's attack once again, the Iwagakure Anbu drew out the dagger from his back and stabbed it fiercely into Qingming's heart.

But in the face of such a deadly crisis, 'Qing Ming' still did not choose to dodge, but continued to wave his hand, using the 'Chakra Scalpel' to cut towards the opponent's throat.

"wrong!"

Seeing Qing Ming's reaction, the Iwagakure Anbu immediately realized that something was wrong.

So he quickly retracted the half-extended dagger, dodged the attack sideways, and swung the sword at Qingming's right arm.

Facing this sword, Qingming's eyes narrowed slightly.

In order to delay the opponent and make him give up the plan of retreat, his attack was too aggressive. Now it is impossible for him to retract his arm.

In order to avoid suffering meaningless pain, Qing Ming decisively chose to cancel the Shadow Clone Technique.

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, the figure of Qingming disappeared from the spot.

The sword missed, and looking at the disappeared Qingming, the Iwagakure Anbu frowned and asked suspiciously: "Shadow clone?"

Obviously, he couldn't figure out why the Hidden Mist Village would let a shadow clone impersonate him since the fangs that had contacted him had already been exposed? No matter how you think about it, it should be more reliable if it's the real person, right?

No matter how he thought about it, he would never have imagined that there was a third party involved.

Tap tap tap~
There was a sound of footsteps.

By the lake, the Iwagakure Anbu heard the sound and immediately gathered their thoughts, turning around and looking in the direction where the footsteps came from.

Then a white mist was seen rolling in the forest, and a member of the Mist Hidden Anbu walked out of it.

Qiang~
Similarly, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard.

Qingming drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at the Iwagakure dark forces in front of him.

That’s right, this Kirigakure Anbu is Qingming’s real self in disguise.
