Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 779 Evacuation and Arrival

Before, he felt that there was something wrong with Qingming. Although he was quite strong and was at home, he never used ninjutsu during the battle.

Even the detonating talisman was not used.

And that shadow clone from before, it doesn’t make sense no matter how you think about it!
Now, he finally understood that the identity of the person chasing him was also problematic. It was not that he did not want to use high-powered ninjutsu and detonating tags, but he also did not dare to cause any big noise.

However, is this really the case?
I can only say that the other party is thinking things are too simple.

The reason why Qingming did not use ninjutsu and detonating tags was that he was afraid that the other party would not be able to hold on and would not be able to wait for the three Mist Hidden Teams on the periphery to approach.

To take a step back, even if the other party held on despite his deliberate let-up, they would most likely be frightened and completely give up the idea of ​​a head-on confrontation.

If he is determined to escape, he will have trouble finding the right time to evacuate.

This might cause his plan to fail.

That's why he acted a little timid in the battle just now.

However, these are all in the past.

Now, the person he was waiting for was almost here, so he didn't need to suppress himself anymore.

Thinking of this, Qingming had already arrived in front of this Iwagakure Anbu.

huh~
The long knife flashed by.

Qing Ming injected wind style chakra into the blade, unleashed the 'Wind Style: Vacuum Blade', and swung the blade straight towards the chest of the Iwagakure Anbu in front of him.

A strong sense of crisis came over him, and the Iwagakure Anbu immediately came to his senses.

He gathered his thoughts, dodged Qingming's knife, and swung his sword towards Qingming's heart.

However, unlike the previous fight, with the help of the Sharingan, Qingming was able to see through the opponent's movements one step earlier.

So, without waiting for the sword to be fully swung, he turned his wrist, forcibly retracted the sword, and held it upright in front of him.

Hey~
The dagger stabbed into the blade, making a crisp metal collision sound.

Seeing this scene, the Iwagakure Anbu's pupils shrank slightly. He was about to step forward and change his moves, letting the dagger brush against the blade and pierce into Qingming's lungs.

But unfortunately, Qingming didn't give him this opportunity at all.

The chakra flowed to his right arm, and Qingming stimulated the muscles in his arm, greatly increasing the strength of his right hand holding the knife.

The next moment, he turned his wrist, and with a "clang", he swung away the dagger that was tightly attached to the blade, causing it to pierce the air.

That’s not all. Qing Ming also took a step forward, so that their bodies were almost sticking together.

At this time, Qing Ming stretched out his left hand and hit the opponent's chest downwards like lightning.

After this attack, the Iwagakure Anbu felt as if their breath was suffocated in their chest and they couldn't breathe.

However, he still endured the discomfort, kicked the ground with his feet, and flew back, putting some distance between himself and Qingming.

Qing Ming sensed it briefly and after confirming that the Flying Thunder God's mark had hit him, he did not pursue him.

He even put away the long sword in his hand.

That’s right, with that palm strike just now, he inflicted the Flying Thunder God Mark on the opponent.

In this way, no matter where the other party goes next, he can clearly sense it and can teleport to his side at any time through the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

And this is the last step before his plan officially begins.

On the other side, the Iwagakure Anbu members, who didn't know that their lives were in Qingming's hands, were puzzled when they saw him suddenly put away his sword.

However, Qingming doesn't care what the other party thinks.

Under the mask, he opened his Byakugan, and after confirming that the three Kirigakure teams were about to arrive, he raised his hands, formed hand seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!

Next to it, the lake water was churning.

The next moment, a water dragon rose into the sky, and then, under Qingming's control, pounced towards the Iwagakure dark forces in front.

Although they didn't understand why Qing Ming, who was so timid just now, suddenly dared to make such a big noise, as the target of the attack, the Iwagakure Anbu immediately responded.

He quickly completed the seal, then slapped the ground and performed a ninjutsu of earth escape, creating a hemispherical defense shield about one meter high, protecting himself inside. Bang~
The water dragon hit the hemisphere, making a dull sound.

Kakakka~
Some cracks appeared on the shield.

Seeing this, the Iwagakure Anbu quickly increased their chakra input to repair the cracks.

After a few breaths, the water dragon disappeared and the Iwagakure Anbu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, the change in Qingming in just a few seconds was so great that he almost couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Fortunately, everything was safe.

With a thought, the Iwagakure Anbu released the ninjutsu, then flashed away from the spot.

However, the expected attack did not come and he dodged it into thin air.

Then, he looked towards the place where Qingming had just stood.

huh~~~
A gust of night wind blew by.

At this moment, where is the human figure there?
Even though Iwagakure Anbu had rich experience in missions, he couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.

He felt that he could not keep up with Qingming's train of thought at all and had no idea what he was thinking.
“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

After calming down a little, the Iwagakure Anbu decided not to think about it anymore and leave the place immediately.

Such a big commotion just now will definitely attract the attention of the Mist Ninjas. He must leave before these people arrive.

With this thought in mind, the Iwagakure Anbu raised his hands, ready to form hand seals, cast a spell and leave.

But before he could complete the hand seal, dozens of kunai shot out from the forest.

When he saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly changed.

And when he saw the detonating tags on these kunai, his expression under the mask became even uglier.

Without any hesitation, he immediately stopped forming seals, then flashed away from the spot.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and fireballs appeared, dispelling the surrounding darkness and the thick fog nearby.

brush brush~
Several figures appeared and formed a semicircle around the Iwagakure ANBU that had just dodged the attack.

He looked at these ninjas who were dressed similarly to him in black robes and masks, and then looked at the flames left by the explosion of the detonating tags around them.

There is no doubt that these are the real Kirigakure Anbu.

At the same time, he also understood why Qingming left.

He even vaguely guessed Qing Ming's purpose in pestering him, which was to attract his attention.
"Put down your weapons immediately or you will die!"

A member of the Kirigakure ANBU said this coldly in the crowd.

Hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the Iwagakure Anbu. They thought to themselves that this man had been used as a gun, yet he still had the audacity to speak so arrogantly here.

However, he did not intend to expose Qingming's identity.

As an Anbu ninja, he knew very well that in this situation, no matter what he said, the other party would not believe it.

Therefore, what he had to do was to escape from here as much as possible.

Thinking of Qing Ming's identity as a member of the Wuyin Anbu, he felt that the information in his hands was more credible.

So, he had to bring it back.

As soon as he thought of this, he threw the kunai in his hand fiercely, then jumped back and jumped into the small lake behind him.

Hey~
Swinging the short sword in his hand to block the kunai shot at him, the Kirigakure Anbu who had just given the order gently uttered a word: "Chase!"

The next moment, a group of Kirigakure Anbu jumped onto the lake and began to track the Iwagakure Anbu.
