Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 785 Return to the Village
In a flash, several hours passed.

It's bright.

Inside the wooden house.

Qingming slowly opened his eyes.

The glaring sunlight shone on his face, forcing him to raise his hand to cover it. After adjusting for a while, he withdrew his hand.

Turning his head, Qingming looked at the sky through the gap in the window.

It can be seen that the sun has risen to mid-sky at this time, and the time has come to mid-morning.

Qing Ming calculated secretly and felt that he should be here by now since he had flown back from the Water Kingdom, even if he was delayed some time along the way.

Therefore, it is time to go back and report.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming sat up from the bed.

He washed up casually, ate a few military pills, and after filling his stomach, he performed "Wind Style: Wind Wings" and "Chakra Feather Robe" and flew into the sky, flying towards the direction of Konoha Village.

Soon, more than half an hour passed and Qingming finally saw Konoha Village.

He lowered his altitude, landed back on the ground, and then walked into the village with a swagger.

However, he did not rush directly to the Hokage Building, but returned to his home first.

After finding a pen and ink, Qing Ming quickly wrote down his experience last night on paper and made a mission report.

Of course, there was no mention of his own secrets.

However, he still wrote down the things related to the Iwagakure Anbu on it.

In fact, if possible, he didn't want to be involved.

Because once he wrote it, it was almost foreseeable that Minato Namikaze would ask questions, and he would have to take the trouble to make up lies to cover up the omissions.

But unfortunately, I have to write it down.

The Kirigakure Village was in such a mess last night that it was impossible to hide it from other villages.

Qingming didn't believe that he was the only intelligence channel in the village.

Even though those spies are unable to pass on information now because of the blockade of the Hidden Mist Village, they will be able to send out information after a while when the blockade of the Hidden Mist Village is relaxed.

At that time, if they don't match, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, he still wrote about his use of Iwagakure spies and Iwagakure Anbu in the report.

Of course, the process will inevitably need to be modified.

Anyway, those two people are already dead, and no one will say anything.

In this way, Qing Ming spent nearly an hour and, after repeated revisions, finally completed the task report.

Although there are some things that seem too coincidental, overall, it can still be explained.

I would think that a smart person like Minato Namikaze would not dwell on these doubts.

slap~
Qingming flicked the report in his hand, copied it again, and then rushed to the Hokage Building.

······
More than half an hour later.

It's approaching noon.

Qing Ming walked out of the Hokage Building with ease.

Just as he expected, after finding out what was happening in the Hidden Mist Village, Minato Namikaze did not delve further into some of the doubts in his mission report.

Therefore, it only took him half an hour to complete the report on this mission.

This mission brought him a reward of 500,000 taels.

In fact, strictly speaking, this reward is a bit low.

Because the rewards for S-level missions are usually more than one million taels. However, this mission was directly issued by the village, so the cash reward for the mission was a little less, and another part of the reward was converted into village merit.

This achievement was enough for him to exchange for an A-level ninjutsu from the village's collection.

However, Qingming does not plan to use these merits for the time being. He wants to accumulate some more and then see if he can learn the "Spiritual Transformation Technique" in the Sealed Book from Minato Namikaze.

That’s right, it’s the ‘spiritualization technique’ that can allow one’s soul to leave the body.

As an S-level forbidden technique, this technique focuses on strengthening mental strength and using it in combat. It is extremely dangerous both in practice and in use.

The reason why Qingming set his sights on this technique is that it will take another five months for his body to completely assimilate Hashirama's cells, and only then can he formally improve the 'Reflection Heart Technique'.

After the improvement is completed, he can continue to improve the "spiritual" attribute by increasing the degree of evolution of the Sharingan.

This period of time may take as short as half a year or as long as eight or nine months.

It was hard for Qingming to accept that his 'spiritual' attribute hadn't improved at all during such a long period of time.

So, he thought of the 'spiritualization technique'.

If he could obtain this technique and then learn it, his 'spiritual' attribute would most likely be improved.

By then, he will not only be able to master a powerful killing skill, but also try to develop a skill based on this skill that is different from the "Art of Reflecting the Heart" and can focus on improving the "spiritual" attribute.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, he would not have this idea.

But Namikaze Minato was different.

He is younger and more ambitious, so he might agree to let him learn the forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book.

So, he wanted to accumulate some merits.

As for the risks of learning this technique.
Not to mention that his own mental strength is strong enough, so practicing this technique should not be a problem. The existence of the proficiency panel alone allows him to ignore the risks involved.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Qing Ming quickly gathered his thoughts and walked out of the Hokage Building.

After having a casual lunch outside, he returned to his home.

Originally, he had been practicing for ten consecutive days and it was time to relax.

It just so happened that after completing this mission, he needed to come back.

So, I just took a rest.

Of course, this time cannot be wasted.

He planned to complete what he hadn't done yesterday - to distribute the 600,000 chakra points saved every day after completing the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

······
Uchiha clan.

Qingming's home.

In the training room.

Qing Ming took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, raised his hand to seal it, and said in a low voice: "Unlock!"

The next moment, the sealed scroll on the ground opened by itself, revealing a dozen scrolls and books.

Qing Ming opened them one by one and saw that seven of the scrolls recorded three fire-style ninjutsu, two earth-style ninjutsu, and two lightning-style ninjutsu.

The remaining books contain the practice experiences and notes related to these three attributes of chakra.

Because he wanted to strengthen his understanding and mastery of the corresponding attribute chakra by learning these ninjutsu, Qingming deliberately chose several ninjutsu that were more difficult to learn.

Perhaps their actual combat effectiveness is average, which does not match the corresponding learning difficulty. In the eyes of others, they are just useless.

But in Qingming, they are the best choice.

Only because the Uchiha clan has a long heritage could Qingming find these ninjutsu in the corners.

Otherwise, he would have to find another way.
