Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 823 The rumbling wind
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Qingming's mind.

In front of him, the four-tailed fox looked at the tall figure that appeared again, feeling the strength of the figure holding his body. His mind, which had been overwhelmed by anger, gradually became clear again.

The next moment, a trace of fear arose in its heart.

This is not entirely due to fear of Qingming, but also due to past memories.

I still remember that decades ago, it was living well in the wild, and then suddenly one day, someone dropped it from the sky and caught it, just like now.

Although the man at that time was not using a Yindun body like the one in front of him, the huge wooden man that covered the sky and the sun was no less powerful than the tall figure in front of him.

No, it should be even worse than that.

In the hands of the wooden man, it had even less power to resist.

Since then, it, along with several of its kind, has become a tool in the hands of humans, not only losing its freedom, but also being forced to participate in human disputes.

Sometimes, they even have to watch their own power being stolen by humans.

This filled its heart with rage and immense hatred for humans.

Wait ~
similar!

Suddenly, the four-tailed beast turned its eyes and looked towards the sealing formation in front.

There, it vaguely saw a half-real and half-illusive figure, bound in mid-air by eight chains.

This figure was very familiar to it, it was Nanao - Shigeaki!
At this time, Nanabi seemed to have noticed Shibi's observation. He opened his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and then quickly closed his eyes again without saying a word to Shibi the whole time.

This is not because it is aloof, but in the eyes of the Seven-Tailed Fox, the Four-Tailed Fox is doomed and they will inevitably become neighbors.

In other words, they will have enough time to communicate in the future, and there is no need to risk attracting Qingming's attention by starting a conversation now.

Qingming didn't know what Nanawei was thinking.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The other party thought that he didn't know their origins, but they didn't know that he knew more about the tailed beasts than they themselves.

Qingming knew that because the tailed beasts came from the same origin, when they got close to each other for a certain distance, even if they were sealed, they could use chakra as a medium to construct a consciousness space and communicate with each other.

In this process, without their permission, even now he would probably not be able to interfere.

But does it matter?
It doesn't matter at all!

From the beginning to the end, he never thought about reaching a reconciliation with the nine tailed beasts and forming a bond with them like Uzumaki Naruto did. He just wanted to use their chakra.

Therefore, what the tailed beasts think in their hearts is really not important to him.

There was only one thing he needed to do, and that was to make sure the tailed beast he caught would not escape.

With this thought, Qing Ming no longer wasted time, and immediately gathered his thoughts, throwing the weakened Four Tails onto the 'Senluo Wanxiang Seal' that had already been deployed.

During this time, the four-tailed beast wanted to resist, but was easily controlled by Qingming with just a look.

Then, the body of the Four-Tailed Fox continued to shrink, and soon it fell onto the sealing formation, alongside the Seven-Tailed Fox.

Noticing something strange, the Seven-Tails opened its eyes again, its gaze swept across the Four-Tails, and secretly glanced at Qingming standing in the Susanoo, and said to itself: "Sure enough!"

Just as it had guessed, the four-tailed beast had no power to resist and was taken down by Qingming.

"I was right not to communicate with it just now!"

Nanao thought so in his heart.

Then, it saw Qingming making seals with his hands.

The next moment, accompanied by a "rustling" sound, eight chakra chains sprang out from the eight nodes in the sealing array, like swimming snakes, and flexibly wrapped around the four-tailed beast.

Among them, four were wrapped around its tail, suppressing its chakra and making it unable to easily release the chakra in its body.

Another four were wrapped around its limbs, restricting its movement.

Finally, the chakra chain tightened, completely binding the Four Tails in mid-air.

At this point, the Four-Tailed Fox completely lost the power to resist.

Seeing this, Qing Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Then, his hand seal changed, and the sealing formation shrank rapidly, finally gathering on the metal ball in the center.

Qing Ming released Susanoo and reappeared. He stretched out his hand and picked up the metal ball covered with sealing spells on the ground, with a smile on his face.

No, it's not over yet.

With this thought, Qingming probed into the ball with his spiritual power and began to fine-tune the 'Senluo Wanxiang Seal' technique based on the current situation inside the ball, in order to restrict the two tailed beasts to the greatest extent.

Time passed by minute by minute. About half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

At this time, the metal ball in his hand had returned to its former normal state, and there were no more densely packed sealing spells on it.

This also shows that Qingming's adjustment has been completed.

At this time, the Four-Tail, like the Seven-Tail, was perfectly sealed in it by him.

However, as he had expected before, the current condition of the Four Tails is a bit poor and it will take at least a week to recover.

During this period, he could not draw any chakra from the opponent.

Otherwise, it will delay the recovery time.

In this way, there is no way to test the benefits it can bring to him.

Fortunately, the other party has fallen into his hands, so even if the test is postponed for a few days, it is not a big deal.

It just so happened that he needed to pay attention to the movements of the Iwagakure Village in the next few days, and at the same time deal with the traces left behind in the previous attempt to capture the Four-Tails.

Before leaving the city where Lao Zi appeared, he had his shadow clone deal with it.

Next, we need to secretly deal with the traces of other cities.

With this thought in mind, Qingming no longer rested.

He immediately packed up his things, then mobilized the chakra in the alien space between his eyebrows, making the chakra in his body full again.

Then, he locked onto a Flying Thunder God mark within the Land of Earth and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

The vision in front of me suddenly changed.

After several hours, near dusk, Qingming arrived at the territory of the Kingdom of Earth again.

Then, he used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create several shadow clones, and asked them to use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to rush to the nearby cities and clear the traces on the big web.

Once he finishes cleaning one area, he'll immediately move to the next one.

In this way, Qingming took advantage of the fact that the Iwagakure Village had not discovered these people and quickly cleaned up the spies that had been planted in the Land of Earth before.

While he was dealing with the beginning and the end, the Iwagakure Village was not idle either.

After Black Snake and others sent out a signal for help, the Iwagakure Village immediately took action.

Without giving it much thought, Ohnoki immediately dispatched several of his most capable Anbu teams to meet up with the Black Snake team.

But before he could receive the news of the reconciliation between the two sides, another secret department responsible for monitoring the movements of the Jinchūriki sent him bad news, saying that the Four-Tails had been taken away from the Land of Earth.

This time, Ohnoki could no longer sit still.

He notified several Anbu teams that were heading to meet up with the Black Snake team to immediately change direction and chase after the approximate location of the Four-Tails sent by the surveillance department.

On the other hand, he mobilized more personnel, including ninjas from the secret department, to form a support team and rushed to meet up with those Anbu teams.

Not only that, he also ordered the border troops to strengthen their vigilance, and even recalled some ninjas who were on missions and on vacation, and sent them to the border in batches to further strengthen border defense.

It’s no wonder that Ohnoki made such a big move. The existence of the tailed beasts is like nuclear weapons. Now that the village’s nuclear weapons have been lost, they naturally have to prepare for the worst.

The movements of the Iwagakure Village were soon discovered by other villages.

They couldn't figure out what the Iwagakure Village was trying to do.

But in order to be on the safe side, they could only send troops to the border for defense, while sending Anbu ninjas to sneak into the Land of Earth, or activate spies buried in the Iwagakure Village to investigate what happened.

For a time, the entire ninja world was in a state of panic, and everyone was nervously watching the movements of other ninja villages to avoid being caught off guard.

This sudden change put the entire ninja world under the shadow of war again.

Everyone couldn't help but recall the Third Ninja World War, and thought to themselves, "Will the Fourth Ninja World War break out?"

By the time Qingming knew all this, it was two days later.

He had just finished handling the entire operation and returned to the village to rest when his shadow clone told him the news.

At first, Qingming was a little confused.

But soon, he guessed the reason.

Then, he was confused.

He really didn't expect that his action would lead to tensions among the villages.
