Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 854 Accident and Solution

In a flash, time came to an hour and a half later.

Deep in the Hidden Mist Village.

The residence of the Yuanshi.

Qingming looked at the open door and the two Kirigakure special jonin lying beside it, his brows slightly frowned.

In the past hour and a half, he had replaced the 'Heart-Sealing Soul-Locking Contract Instant Body Seal' for all the people in the Hidden Mist Village who had been secretly injured by him.

Although some accidents occurred during this period and he encountered some unrelated people, they were basically discovered after he completed the operation.

But this time it's different.

He really didn't expect that it was so late and Master Yuan hadn't gone back to sleep yet. Instead, he stayed in the study in the dark with his eyes closed and dozed off.

This resulted in him being discovered by the other party the moment he was teleported over.

It is true that Master Yuan’s combat effectiveness has declined significantly due to his old age, but as a veteran on the battlefield, he has extremely rich experience in dealing with emergencies.

Moreover, he attached great importance to his own safety and even set up traps in his study.

Almost immediately, he pressed the switch button under his body and activated the trap mechanisms.

So, in front of Qingming's eyes, the seat under his butt moved suddenly, instantly taking him away from him.

Not only that, accompanied by a series of "clicking" sounds from the mechanisms, dozens of kunai were shot out from the four corners of the study.

The attack angles of these kunai were obviously calculated in advance.

The moment they were shot out, they formed a large net, blocking every corner of the study, leaving only the path for the seats to move away.

However, the avoidance process is not to clear a path, but to create a time difference with the movement of the seat after precise calculation.

This will eliminate the possibility of enemy pursuit.

If that's all, that's it.

Although Qing Ming failed to control Yuan Shi in the first moment, when he was far away from him, he took advantage of the moment when their eyes met and used the Sharingan illusion to control the other party.

As for the kunai that were shot at him
Indeed, being launched through the mechanism, their speed is far beyond human capability, but with the powerful insight of the Sharingan, they are still no big deal.

Qingming avoided this rapid attack with just a few dodged moves.

Therefore, it is not a problem.

The key to the problem is that their excitement attracted the two Kirigakure ninjas who were guarding outside the door.

This had not happened in the past hour and a half.

Although Qing Ming reacted quickly, he cast the 'Illusion Sharingan' almost the moment the two pushed the door open, pulling their consciousness into the illusion.

But the mess on the field could not be solved by erasing a few minutes of memory.

Therefore, his brows couldn't help but frown.

Indeed, by combining the 'Heart Locking Seal' and the 'Seal of Self-Karma Binding', the 'Heart Sealing Soul and Contracting Instant Body Seal' he developed has certain abilities similar to the thought seal.

But strictly speaking, it does not have the effect of forcibly brainwashing people.

The so-called ideological stamp can only prevent someone from doing something, but cannot really restrain other people's thoughts.

Well.
At the very least, this effect did not exist before the addition of the 'Soul Lock' ability, raising its potential to S-level.

As for the 'transcription seal' that is integrated into it.
Indeed, this technique can manipulate the target's consciousness and make the target do something.

But this requires triggering conditions and the things to be done must be simple.

For example, what he has set now is to activate the Flying Thunder God Mark on his body after discovering the exact news of the resurrection of the Three-Tailed Fox. This is a relatively specific and simple thing.

As for using this to completely control a person's thoughts, that is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

As far as he knew, in the ninja world, the only one who could completely change a person's mind seemed to be Uchiha Shisui's 'Kotoamatsukami'.

But unfortunately, it is impossible for the other party to use such precious pupil technique here.

Moreover, he was unwilling to let him get involved in these things.

After all, secrets are something that only need to be known by oneself. Once two people know it, it is no longer a secret.

Qingming stood there, thinking for a long time, and then he came up with a solution.

First is the Master.
He was seen mobilizing the chakra in the different space between his eyebrows, first replenishing his own chakra, then raising his hands to form seals and performing the ninjutsu - Shadow Clone Technique!

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, a shadow clone of Qingming appeared in the field.

Having inherited Qingming's memory, the shadow clone naturally understood his plan.

So, without Qingming's instructions, he came before Master Yuan.

Then, he awakened the Master, and the moment the two looked at each other, he activated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

The next moment, an extremely powerful pupil power burst out from him.

Then, he pushed the power of the 'Genjutsu Sharingan' to its limit.

Then, Master Yuan's face was distorted for a while, and after a long time, he gradually regained his composure and closed his eyes.

A few minutes later, Master Yuan opened his eyes again.

It can be seen that at this moment, Master Yuan's already cloudy eyes looked even more lifeless.

At the same time, when he looked at Qingming and his shadow clone, there was no longer the previous vigilance in his eyes.

At this moment, he was like a puppet, standing there quietly without saying a word.

However, the occasional flash of struggle in his eyes showed that he had not completely surrendered.

Qingming didn't care much about this.

Next, as long as the shadow clone gives the opponent this attack from time to time, it will be able to suppress his will to resist, immerse him in the illusion, and then control his will in disguise.

That’s right, the solution Qing Ming thought of was to leave a shadow clone and use illusion to control the opponent for a long time.

This was his reference to the method that Uchiha Obito later used to deal with the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura.

He controlled Karujutsu Yagura in disguise through long-term illusion manipulation.

They both possess the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Qingming possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. There is no reason why Uchiha Obito can do it but he can't.

This attempt was successful!
In this way, all he has to do next is to ensure that the illusion continues, and he will be able to control the opponent stably for a long period of time.

It just so happened that he had left a lot of spies in the Hidden Mist Village, and he felt more at ease leaving a shadow clone to watch over it.

As for the durability of the shadow clone and whether the abnormal behavior of the Yuanshi would be noticed by others,
For the former, he only needs to come here every once in a while, retrieve this shadow clone, and then split out a new one to stay.

Although this would waste some of his chakra, it was barely acceptable.

The latter
Master Yuan was a person who rarely went out, so it was not unusual for him to be a little quieter after a period of time.

In this way, as time goes by, other people will gradually get used to it and ignore this abnormality that is not really abnormal.

At this point, Master Yuan’s problem was solved.

Next, there are two guards who broke into the study.
