Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 885 Reason
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. After a long time, Qing Ming let out a long sigh and stopped thinking about it.

He took off his equipment, washed up casually, and then walked out of the house and headed for the "Food Street" as he did in the past.

Last time he came back in a hurry, he didn’t even have time to eat a hot bite, so he had to make up for it this time.

So, soon, the village's "Food Street" welcomed a big eater.

As Qingming's body transformed again, his 'physique' attribute improved, and after assimilating Hashirama's cells, his digestive ability was enhanced again, and he could already swallow more food in a short period of time.

This effectively satisfied his appetite.

At night, when Qingming returned home, he felt extremely satisfied. He lay down on a chair in the yard and didn't want to move at all.

However, it was obvious that he couldn't lie there forever.

Today, he still has a practice plan to complete.

That’s right, it’s Wen Yang’s white eyes!
This is the practice he must perform every day, regardless of whether he is resting or not.

So, after lying on the recliner in the yard for a while, he returned to the training room and began to nurture his white eyes.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half hours passed.

When Qing Ming felt a swelling sensation in the white of his eye between his eyebrows, he paused his practice and opened his eyes again.

After opening the panel, Qing Ming took a quick look. After seeing that the degree of evolution after Bai Yan had increased by twelve points, he nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he closed the panel, sealed his Byakugan again, stood up and walked out of the training room.

By this time, it was already dark.

Qingming yawned, washed up casually, then returned to the bedroom and began to rest.

A speechless night!
······
The next day.

Qingming slept until he woke up naturally.

When I got up, I realized that it was already mid-morning.

Seeing that lunch was about to start, Qing Ming simply stopped wasting time making breakfast and went straight to the recliner in the yard and lay down comfortably.

He just looked at the sky quietly, doing nothing and thinking nothing.

I have to say that the sky, which has not experienced industrial pollution, is very clear, with blue sky and white clouds, which makes people feel sleepy.

So, without realizing it, Qingming closed his eyes again.

Before I knew it, another two hours had passed.

When the sun rose above his head, Qingming suddenly woke up.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he stood up, stretched vigorously, and went out to the "Food Street".

For lunch today, he still didn't plan to cook by himself, but went out to solve it.

However, Qingming had just walked out of the house when he suddenly felt a prying gaze from a distance.

Qing Ming frowned slightly and stopped.

Then he raised his head and looked at the sky expressionlessly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds
After about ten seconds, the prying gaze disappeared. Qing Ming waited for a while before retracting his gaze.

At the same time, he murmured, "It really is haunting!"

Qingming knew without any guessing that this familiar feeling was Sarutobi Hiruzen's "Telescope Technique".

It can be seen that the other party is very concerned about his movements.

However, both the shadow clone and himself have demonstrated their ability to detect the other party's spying several times, so why does the other party still do this?
Anger him? Not likely!

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the previous Hokage.

No matter how deep his relationship with Danzo Shimura was, and no matter how much he wanted to get rid of the "future rising star" of the Uchiha clan, he should not have acted so blatantly.

so.
'There must be something I don't know about this'

Qingming stood there, thinking for a long time.

Finally, he had a vague idea of ​​a direction for investigation in his mind.

But now
Not in a hurry!
As the saying goes, eating is the most important thing in the world, so he has to fill his stomach first.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming took another step and walked towards the 'Food Street'.

It took about an hour for Qingming to fill his stomach.

Afterwards, without any hesitation, he rushed to the Hokage Building. He wanted to meet with Minato Namikaze and find out what had happened so that he could make the other party change his plan.

Before, he didn't care much about it because it didn't affect him.

But now, after some thought, he suddenly realized that the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen paid so much attention to him these days was most likely related to the role he played in the original plan.

Therefore, he planned to conduct an in-depth investigation to find out the hidden truth.

In fact, he didn't need to conduct an in-depth investigation. After he arrived at the Hokage Building, entered the Hokage's office, and raised his doubts, Namikaze Minato told him the whole story.

It was also at this time that he learned that just a few days ago, Jiraiya had suddenly returned to the village and accepted the mission to hunt down Orochimaru.

Taking this opportunity, Sarutobi Hiruzen persuaded Namikaze Minato not to release the news of Orochimaru's betrayal for the time being.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are both one of the Three Ninjas and have a very close relationship, so perhaps he can be persuaded to come back.

It won’t be too late to deal with it then.

Of course, if only Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, Namikaze Minato might not change his mind.

However, when Jiraiya said so at the suggestion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato had to suppress the matter temporarily.

There was no way. Minato Namikaze respected his teacher Jiraiya from the bottom of his heart and did not want to disobey the other's wishes.

Of course, more importantly, this matter is in the interests of Konoha.

Although he himself disliked Orochimaru who played with lives wantonly, compared with the benefits a Kage-level master could bring to the village, this dislike was nothing.

You know, until now, the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha have not officially signed a peace agreement!

Although this so-called peace agreement is just a piece of waste paper when the strength of both sides is unequal or when everyone is expecting a war.

However, now that the Third World War has just ended and all villages want to recuperate, it still has some effect.

At the very least, it can cause public outrage against the party that tears up the treaty.

Therefore, if it can be signed, Konoha should try its best to get it.

Without this agreement, theoretically the Hidden Cloud Village could launch a larger-scale war at any time. This would be a huge time bomb for Konoha and the entire ninja world.

Therefore, even Minato Namikaze did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

It was precisely these kinds of pressures that made Minato Namikaze choose to compromise.

From this, if we think further, Sarutobi Hiruzen probably learned about his previous plan and mission from Namikaze Minato, and was worried that he would go out privately to intercept Orochimaru, so he was so concerned about his whereabouts.

"Haha~, there really is something fishy going on."

Qing Ming muttered in his heart, then looked at Namikaze Minato and said, "Fourth-generation master, do you want me to assist Master Jiraiya and complete the mission?"
