Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 850 Time flies
Two hours later.

It's late at night.

Qingming finally woke up from the state of Wen Yang Baiyan.

At this moment, a slight swelling sensation came from between his brows. It was obvious that his eye roll had reached the limit of what he could endure at this stage.

With this thought, Qing Ming opened the proficiency panel and looked at the ten new points of evolution behind the white eyes in the bloodline column. He nodded with satisfaction.

After closing the panel again, Qingming stretched lazily.

Afterwards, he opened his ninja tool bag and casually swallowed a few enhanced ration pills to replenish his energy. Then, he returned to the cabin to rest.

And in the next few days, nothing happened. Qingming was like an ascetic monk, staying alone on the island. Apart from eating and sleeping, he practiced every day.

Everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him and was thrown behind his mind.

······
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it is time to rest again.

Returning to the village, Qingming could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the village had become a little tense.

He didn't understand what was going on.

So, he carefully avoided the ninjas along the way and returned straight home.

The first thing he did when he got home was to cancel the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and start browsing the memory of the shadow clone that remained in the village.

Time passes minute by minute.

After more than half an hour, Qing Ming finally digested the other party's memories of the past ten days and opened his eyes again.

At the same time, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

From the memories of his shadow clone, he already knew that the reason why the atmosphere in the village had become tense was very simple, that was that Orochimaru was officially investigated.

That's right, Minato Namikaze personally ordered the Anbu to investigate whether Orochimaru had violated certain village regulations and conducted human experiments in private.

Although Qingming didn't know how Namikaze Minato convinced Sarutobi Hiruzen and other previous Konoha high-ranking officials to agree to this order, he was very clear that this was definitely related to the dirty water he had thrown on Orochimaru.

I think it was the fact that he mentioned that Zetsu could use Wood Release that stimulated Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, and that made them agree to Namikaze Minato's proposal.

after all
Wood Release, as the iconic ability of the first Hokage, regardless of its power, its symbolic significance alone does not allow Sarutobi Hiruzen and others to sit idly by and watch it appear outside Konoha.

Therefore, it is normal to abandon Orochimaru.

What's more, the recent disappearances of village ninjas and civilians have caused a lot of uproar. In order to avoid arousing public anger, they must give an explanation to everyone.

In this case, agreeing to investigate Orochimaru is the best option, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

However, it is not easy to investigate Orochimaru and obtain evidence of his crimes.

You know, as one of the three ninjas, no matter how unpopular Orochimaru is, he still has a group of followers because of his performance on the battlefield.

And now, these people have become obstacles to the investigation.

It was for this reason that Qingming felt the tense atmosphere in the village.

but
"What does this have to do with me?"

Qingming murmured something.

He came back just to relax and rest. The struggle between the various factions in the village had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to and wouldn't get involved.

Besides, even if he wanted to participate, he had no chance.

Given that he is currently restricted from going out and is being watched, how could he be allowed to carry out such a sensitive mission?

Shaking his head secretly, Qingming didn't think about it anymore.

After returning to the bedroom, he took off his equipment, put on a comfortable set of casual clothes, then walked out of the house and went straight to a corner of the village.

According to the shadow clone's memory, a new hot spring bath has opened here.

Qingming plans to go for a walk and see what the place is like.

After half an hour.

Qingming staggered to this place called "Konoha no Yu".

After successfully buying the ticket and entering, Qingming changed into a bathrobe and walked into the bath.

Feeling the warm spring water wrapping around his body, Qingming just felt comfortable all over.

Unable to help himself, he closed his eyes.

With each breath, Qingming's brain went empty and his entire consciousness seemed to have left his body.

Then, a feeling of relaxation from the inside out came over me.

After a while, a faint snoring sound came out of his mouth. It was obvious that Qingming fell asleep.

Time continues to pass.

At a certain moment, a sound of footsteps was heard, coming from far away and gradually approaching Qingming.

When the person was two or three meters away, Qingming suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the person who came.

There was a hint of murderous intent in Qingming's eyes, as if because he was disturbed.

Well.
This may be a kind of morning grumpiness!

Affected by his evil spirit, the visitor stopped and stayed where he was, looking a little at a loss.

When Qing Ming saw that the person coming was a bathhouse employee, he retracted his murderous aura and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Hearing Qing Ming's question, the staff of the bathhouse nervously said: "Mr. Ninja, our bathhouse is about to close, you see..."

Hearing this, Qingming looked up at the sky above his head.

At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was obviously getting late.

Seeing this, Qing Ming retracted his gaze, nodded at the other party, and said: "Sorry, I forgot the time, I will leave now."

As he spoke, he had already stood up, left the bathtub, wrapped his bathrobe tightly around him, and walked into the room dedicated to bathing.

At the back, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Indeed, in Konoha, although ninjas have a high status, they cannot harm ordinary people at will.

But in recent days, there have been too many rumors about missing civilians. Although most of them are false rumors, ordinary people like them can't help but think about it.

Accordingly, they became much more cautious in their actions, fearing that they might accidentally offend some bad-tempered ninja and become one of the missing persons.

By then, there will be no place to cry.

Therefore, they have been much more careful in doing things during this period of time.

Qingming's keen perception allows him to clearly detect the emotional changes of the person behind him. At first he didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, he figured out the key.

Judging from the limited space, we can imagine that the majority of ordinary people in the village are probably in a similar state to that of this bathhouse staff.

It is probably for this reason that Sarutobi Hiruzen and others agreed to let Namikaze Minato investigate Orochimaru, because things have reached the point where they must be resolved.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly put them behind him.

After arriving at the bathroom and taking a bath for a few minutes, Qing Ming put on his clothes, walked out of the bathhouse, and headed for the 'Food Street'.

At this moment, the night market here has not ended yet.

Qingming joined the crowd, constantly buying various foods and stuffing them into his mouth, but his stomach was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled no matter how much he tried.

This is the super digestive power brought by 26 points of "physique" plus the assimilation of some Hashirama cells. As long as Qingming is willing, he can eat dozens of times more food than an ordinary person.

In this way, Qingming ate and ate for more than an hour, and only returned home when the crowds decreased.

However, he did not go back to sleep immediately, but walked into the training room, ready to start nurturing his white eyes.

On the last day of each round of training, he would postpone this training until after returning to the village, and today was no exception.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Qingming calmed his mind and concentrated his energy, allowing his body and mind to calm down.

Then, with a thought, he mobilized the 'Seal of All Things' between his eyebrows and connected it with his white eyes.

After completing this step, he immediately mobilized the chakra in the alien space between his eyebrows, compressed it twice through the seal, formed a higher energy state, and injected it into the Byakugan.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation came over me.

Qingming knew that this was the evolution of his Byakuyan.

So, he divided his mind into two parts, maintaining the continuous flow of chakra while carefully sensing the process.

Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.

He stopped practicing after two hours.

At this time, his ability to endure the white eyes has reached its limit.

With this thought, Qing Ming opened the proficiency panel.

Looking at the panel, in the bloodline column, the ten points of evolution behind the white eyes increased as usual, and he nodded with satisfaction.

After closing the panel again, Qingming took a short rest, then walked into the bedroom and went to sleep.

A night of silence.
