Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 921 Return
From a distance, Qing Ming saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he continued looking for his next target.

Just as he had thought before, the Hidden Cloud Village's method of relying on a large number of manpower for intensive surveillance can, to a large extent, replace the existence of the perception barrier and prevent outsiders from sneaking into the village.

But at the same time, it also gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the following time, he captured two more members of the Kumogakure Anbu who were serving as secret sentries, and controlled them in the same way, turning them into his own spies as well.

In addition, in the process of searching for these targets, he also discovered some defense loopholes of the Hidden Cloud Village through his Byakugan.

Qing Ming simply entered the Hidden Cloud Village directly through these loopholes.

However, as soon as he entered, he regretted it.

There was no other reason. The buildings in the Hidden Cloud Village were too scattered. To move among them, he had to constantly pass by suspension bridges, plank roads and iron ropes, which would easily attract the attention of patrolling Cloud Ninjas.

To do this, he had to waste a lot of time avoiding these people.

In the end, it took him more than an hour to find ten targets and turn them into his hidden pieces.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

Qing Ming simply stopped looking for the target and instead carefully avoided the patrols from the Hidden Cloud Village, using his Byakugan to find a place for his shadow clone to stay.

He didn't know whether every village in the ninja world liked to do shameful things in secret. He easily found an abandoned underground space in the Iwagakure Village that was originally a laboratory.

Here, he also found a similar place without much effort.

It is also underground, specifically located below a waterfall pool in Yunyin Village. Judging from its structure, it should be a laboratory transformed from an underground cave.

However, it was also abandoned.

Qingming came to the waterfall, looked at the deep pool in front of him, took a deep breath, and dived straight in.

Relying on the breath-holding skill acquired through long-term practice at the bottom of the sea, Qingming dived directly to the bottom of the pool in one breath.

Standing on the slippery mud, Qing Ming rolled his eyes again and determined the specific location of the laboratory.

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Dragon!
The next moment, he was seen completely merged into the mud and soon disappeared.

About a minute later.

In the underground laboratory.

Qing Ming emerged silently from the ceiling, then turned 180 degrees in the air, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

However, the moment his feet touched the ground, large clouds of dust were raised, choking Qingming and causing him to cough several times.

Covering his mouth and nose, Qingming felt speechless.

He took out a sealed scroll from his ninja tool bag, unsealed it, and took out a flashlight from it.

Click~
He turned on the flashlight.

The next moment, a beam of light appeared, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Looking at the mess on the ground and the dust flying around in front of him, Qing Ming raised his left hand, completed the seal in an instant, and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

The next moment, a gust of wind blew past.

In the laboratory, all the garbage, including dust on the ground and in the air, was blown away by him into the distant passage leading to the next laboratory.

Looking at the newly renovated laboratory, Qing Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he did not waste any time and immediately mobilized the chakra in the alien space between his eyebrows to replenish his own status.

Then, he used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' again.

bang~
Along with the sudden appearance of a cloud of chakra smoke, a figure appeared on the scene.

Qing Ming looked at the shadow clone, handed the flashlight in his hand to the other party, and then said: "I'll leave this to you."

"Ah."

The shadow clone took the flashlight and responded simply without any further ado.

Seeing this, Qing Ming walked to the side, left a mark of the Flying Thunder God on the ground and the stone wall next to it, then performed the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and teleported away from this place.

······
at the same time.

Outside the Hidden Cloud Village, Qingming's figure suddenly appeared halfway up a mountain.

Call ~
Let out a breath.

Qing Ming once again used the Wind Style: Wind Wings, flew high into the sky, and looked out at the Hidden Cloud Village in the distance. Time passed by minute by minute.

A full half hour later.

It was still quiet there.

Obviously, the noise of him launching the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' did not alarm anyone.

From this, he could infer that under normal circumstances, the Hidden Cloud Village would not always monitor the spatial fluctuations within the village.

In this way, next time he comes, he won't have to go through so much trouble like today. He can just use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to enter the Hidden Cloud Village.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qingming's face.

Afterwards, he did not linger any longer. He covered his mouth and yawned, then formed hand seals and performed the ninjutsu - Chakra Feather Robe!

Silently, a layer of faint green light appeared and turned into a long gown, protecting his entire body.

Then, he formed seals again and performed the 'Earth Escape: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique' to reduce his own weight.

However, he did not open his Mangekyō Sharingan to enhance his nerve reaction speed, but just maintained a speed of one kilometer per second and flew towards the Fire Country.

As for why not use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport back directly?
The answer is simple, it saves more chakra.

Of course, his flying speed was fast enough, and he didn't have to practice tomorrow, so there was no need to fight for these few dozen minutes.

Otherwise, he would indeed perform the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and teleport back directly.

After half an hour.

A hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.

At the same time, Qingming also entered the territory of the Fire Country.

After that, he accelerated his flight and finally returned to Konoha Village before falling asleep.

After returning home, Qing Ming didn't bother to retrieve the shadow clone left there, and immediately wanted to go back to his room to sleep.

However, just as he was about to enter the bedroom, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have warmed up the white eyes last night.

He stood there, hesitating for several seconds.

Finally, Qing Ming decided to hold on for a while longer and rest after he finished nursing his white eyes.

For such a long time, he has never stopped nurturing the white eyes, and this time is no exception.

It’s not that what would happen if it was interrupted once, but Qingming didn’t want to break this routine.

Originally, the evolution of his Byakugan was slow, and if it was interrupted from time to time, there was no telling how long it would take.

what?
You said you would just be lazy for once today.

Please, once the habit is broken, you will always find an excuse when you want to be lazy again.

Although Qingming is very confident in his self-control.

Of course, the main reason is that he has confidence in the proficiency panel. With its real-time display of his efforts, Qingming believes that he will not be lazy all the time.

But how to say it?

Habits are things that should not be broken if possible.

Thinking this in his heart, Qingming turned and walked towards the bathroom.

After washing his face with cold water to sober himself up, he walked straight into the practice room.

Things were very simple after that. Qingming drew some carats, and with the help of the 'Senluo Wanxiang Seal', he began to nurture the Byakugan.

And this warming period lasts for two and a half hours.

By the time he stopped practicing, the sun had already risen.

Walking out of the training room, Qing Ming glanced at the dazzling sunlight coming in from the window at the end of the corridor. After squinting his eyes slightly, he walked towards the bedroom.

The moment he walked into the bedroom and saw the bed, he fell asleep.

After just a few breaths, a deafening snoring sound was heard from inside.

Seeing this, the shadow clone, who had been silent all the time, immediately moved a chair over, picked up a book, and started reading at the bedroom door.
