Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 853 The First

By the small lake.

Qing Ming concentrated his mind and sensed the locations of all the Flying Thunder God marks in the Hidden Mist Village.

After a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

It's nothing, the distribution of these marks is too scattered.

Moreover, except for the Flying Thunder God Mark that he used as a fixed teleportation point and engraved in some secret locations in the Hidden Mist Village, most of the other marks left on the human body are now moving.

There are even some people who are not in the Hidden Mist Village, but outside.

This made Qingming feel a little embarrassed.

Not to mention what's happening outside, it doesn't matter even if it keeps moving. As long as he locks its position and teleports directly over, he can easily subdue it.

However, the situation in the village is different. If he acts rashly, it is likely to attract the attention of other people.

Then it will be troublesome.

After pondering for a while, Qing Ming finally decided to postpone the action again and wait until the night got darker and everyone had rested before taking action.

However, we definitely can't stay here for long.

As a fairly well-known training ground in the Hidden Mist Village, this small lake is very suitable for practicing water-style ninjutsu. Who knows, after dinner, someone might come here to practice ninjutsu.

So, it’s better to leave first.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer wasted time. He immediately locked onto the underwater cave where he had read the memories of the Iwagakure spy and the Kirigakure Anbu last time, and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

······
The vision in front of me suddenly changed.

In just a moment, Qingming arrived at the familiar cave.

The next moment, he rolled his eyes.

Qingming began to scan the cave inch by inch, and only after confirming that there was nothing abnormal did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s no wonder that he is so cautious, there are simply too many strange and bizarre secret techniques in the ninja world.

Last time, he killed two people here. Although he burned them to ashes afterwards, it was possible that the Hidden Mist Village might be able to find this place through some means.

So, it is better to be cautious.

However, now that he had confirmed that there was nothing unusual, he could finally rest assured.

I glanced at the time and it was still a few hours before midnight.

After thinking about it, Qingming decided to take a nap first.

It just so happened that he had been practicing all day today and hadn’t had a good rest in the past ten days. It was time to relax his body and mind.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming raised his hands and formed seals, performing the 'Shadow Clone Technique'. After creating a shadow clone as a warning, he fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it had been, but when Qingming was sleeping, a shout sounded in his ears.

"Hey, wake up! Wake up!"

Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes.

The next moment, three inky black magatama appeared in his pupils.

Qingming looked around with extreme vigilance.

And when he saw that the person who woke him up was his shadow clone, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Ming rubbed his cheeks and asked, "What time is it?"

"Two o'clock."

The shadow clone replied.

As we all know, if we follow a normal schedule, one to three in the morning is the time when people sleep the deepest in a day. Taking action at this time can avoid trouble to the greatest extent.

Qing Ming perked up and spoke again: "Has there been anything unusual outside in the past few hours?"

"No."

The shadow clone's answer was still as clear and neat as ever.

Seeing the other party's exhausted look, Qing Ming immediately cancelled the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

Suddenly, a memory came to his mind.

Along with it came the unstoppable sleepiness.

Qing Ming shook his head and suppressed the negative emotions brought by this shadow clone. After quickly browsing the other party's memory and confirming that nothing had happened, Qing Ming began to act.

First, he locked onto the nearest Flying Thunder God Mark, and after confirming that it had not moved for a long time, he immediately activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Silently, Qingming's figure disappeared into the cave.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at a bedroom with a mix of wood and stone.

In front of him was a Kirigakure jonin who was sleeping on the bed.

The other party seemed to have noticed Qingming's arrival and suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, his palm reached under the pillow, as if there was something hidden there.

However, before he could take it out, his vision was occupied by a pair of blood-red Sharingan.

Then, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep and his movements froze in place.

As the thought came to his mind, Qing Ming rolled his eyes.

Through the quilt and pillow, Qingming saw a hidden kunai next to the other person's hand.

It was obvious that the other party just wanted to use this to counterattack.

But unfortunately, the moment Qing Ming appeared here, the opponent had already lost the chance to resist, even if he touched the kunai.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming didn't think any more and immediately took action to remove the two 'transcription seals' left on the other party.

Inside, one seal contains the 'Heart Locking Seal', and the other seals the 'Self-Karma Binding Seal'.

After removing the two seals, he also erased the Flying Thunder God Mark that was previously left on his body.

After clearing all traces, he raised his hand and formed a seal, casting the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal'.

slap~
Qing Ming pressed his palm on the other person’s forehead.

Suddenly, dense sealing spells appeared, centered on his palm, and quickly spread to his entire body.

And if you look closely at these techniques, you can see traces of the Flying Thunder God Seal and the Self-Karma Binding Seal in them.

Of course, there are also the 'Heart Locking Seal' and 'Translation Seal' hidden deeper.

The former exists as a stamp of thought, while the latter exists as a button for setting trigger conditions.

Of course, after two transformations, the distinction between them is not so obvious anymore. Qingming only said this, in fact, they have already merged into one.

It can be said that you are in me and I am in you.

Taking his eyes away from the sealing techniques, Qing Ming shouted in a low voice: "Seal it for me!"

The next moment, all the sealing techniques quickly retracted and finally gathered under his palm, leaving a mark shaped like a black sun, similar to the Flying Thunder God Mark, between the eyebrows of this Kirigakure Jonin.

However, on the surface of the black sun, there were two intersecting things that looked like chains.

This is the sign that the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal' has been successfully performed.

Although it may sound long, all this actually happens in a flash.

This was because Qingming wanted to be safe and deliberately slowed down his pace.

If it is performed using the Mangekyō Sharingan, the speed will be even faster.

And then, he was ready to do just that.

As soon as he thought of this, Qingming made the mark on the other person's forehead disappear.

Then, he released his perception, locked onto another motionless Flying Thunder God Mark, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', and his figure disappeared.

As for the Mist Hidden Ninja on the bed
When he wakes up from his deep sleep, he will naturally forget this memory.

Not only that, under the influence of the 'Heart Sealing Soul Contract Instant Body Seal', he would gradually forget the matter until one day he got the exact news about the resurrection of the three-tailed beast.

Only then will the seal on his body be triggered, reminding him of this memory, thereby activating the mark on his body and sending a message to Qingming.

Apart from that, he is no different from an ordinary Kirigakure ninja under normal circumstances.

Even the other party himself would not think of himself as a spy.

At this time, even if you use mind-reading ninjutsu to explore the other party's memory, you will not find any problems.

This is the power and hidden secret of the 'Heart Sealing Soul and Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal'.
