Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 932 Capture
Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, Qingming and Xuefeng left the city one after another.

Feeling the pursuit from behind, Qing Ming's lips curled up slightly, then he accelerated suddenly and ran towards a forest.

Behind, Xuefeng vaguely sensed something was wrong, but still gritted his teeth and followed.

Not long after entering the forest, Qingming stopped.

Seeing this, Xuefeng also stopped immediately.

He looked at Qing Ming who turned around and asked seriously, "Who are you? Why did you lead me here?"

That's right, just after a while, Xuefeng had figured it out. The target of the person in front of him was not the noble he was supposed to protect, but him who was carrying out the protection mission.

Qing Ming hadn't thought about how long his impromptu plan to lure the other party out of their hole could be hidden from them. It would be enough as long as the other party followed him out.

As for the rest, it doesn’t matter!
Thinking of this, he released his senses and sensed the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one else behind him, he decided to take action.

However, Xuefeng seemed to have noticed his plan and took action first.

He saw him quickly forming seals, condensing dozens of ice kunai in front of him, and then throwing them at Qingming all at once.

Seeing this, Qing Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, then his figure flashed and he easily avoided all the attacks from the ice kunai.

The whole set of movements is as smooth as flowing water.

Seeing this scene, Xuefeng's already serious face looked even more serious.

Without any hesitation, he immediately used his family secret technique - Ice Escape: Ice Storm!

In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the surrounding water vapor was drawn in. Combined with the ice chakra released by Xuefeng in the air, it quickly turned into small ice crystal shurikens.

These shurikens were controlled by Xuefeng, spinning rapidly like a storm, surrounding and killing Qingming.

Seeing this familiar ninjutsu, Qing Ming's first reaction was to perform the same as he did on the battlefield, using the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' to fly into the sky and get away from the storm.

Then, use 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' to forcibly blow away the storm.

But considering the iconic nature of 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', he finally gave up the idea.

It just so happened that he had just learned the art of Lava Escape yesterday. It seemed just right to use it now.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Qingming immediately mobilized a large amount of chakra and transformed it into molten chakra.

Then, he turned it into flowing lava, which he controlled like armor, covering his entire body.

A terrifying high temperature emanated from Qingming's body, and the surrounding ice crystal shurikens immediately melted into a pool of water as soon as they approached.

Seeing this, Xuefeng could no longer hold back and cried out, "Melting Escape? How is that possible?"

As far as he knew, the only person in the entire ninja world who mastered the bloodline limit of Lava Release was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, who disappeared from the Iwagakure Village a few months ago!

"Could it be that the person in front of me is Lao Zi?"

'Then why did he attack me?'

For a moment, Xuefeng's mind was in a mess.

Perhaps Qingming did not expect that the Melting Escape that he performed on a whim would make Xuefeng lose his composure.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Seeing that the surrounding ice storm was blocked by the lava armor, he immediately ran towards Xuefeng's position without stopping.

After all, Xuefeng is an elite ninja trained by his family. After being slightly distracted, he immediately regained his composure when he saw Qingming rushing towards him.

With almost no hesitation, he quickly completed the seal and performed another family secret technique - Ice Escape: Ice Wall Technique!
Kakakka~
Accompanied by the sound of ice crystals condensing, an ice wall about twenty meters long and ten meters high condensed and formed in front of Xuefeng, blocking Qingming's way.

However, Qing Ming seemed to have trouble mastering the power of Melt Escape, and he had no time to stop and plunged into the ice wall.

Molten Release meets Ice Release, high temperature and low temperature intertwine.

Instantly, a 'sizzling' sound was heard in the field.

A large amount of water vapor was generated at the point where the two collided, turning into thick white mist and spreading all around.

Xuefeng has rich combat experience. The moment he saw the white fog, he used the ninjutsu - Water Style: Mist Hidden Jutsu!
This step can be said to be in line with the trend.

Therefore, without consuming much chakra, he was able to control the white mist.

As a genuine Kirigakure ninja, he was very familiar with how to fight in this kind of environment. He even combined his own bloodline limit to create a good fighting technique.

Next, as long as he locked onto Qing Ming's position, he could
"Wait~"

"Where is the other party?"

Suddenly, Xuefeng's expression changed.

In his perception, Qingming's breath actually disappeared.

Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized the chakra in the mist and tried to sense Qingming's location.

Unfortunately, however, nothing was found.

The hot lava where he had just stood quickly cooled down under the suppression of the ice crystal wall and turned into a pile of useless stones.

'what on earth is it? '

Xuefeng was anxious and kept searching for Qingming's location.

But unfortunately, no matter how he searched, he could not sense Qingming's existence.

This made him feel a little anxious.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Are you looking for me?"

This familiar position made Xuefeng feel a little numb.

Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed forward and created some distance between himself and the person behind him.

But alas, it was too late.

Before he could take a step, dense band-shaped seals suddenly appeared on his body, making him unable to move.

'Seal of Self-Karma Binding~'

Although this spell is not as powerful as 'Seal All Things', it is convenient and can even be cast instantly if prepared in advance.

Look, Qingming drove the "Heavenly Driving" and went around behind Xuefeng, and easily controlled the opponent.

However, its lack of power allowed the enemy to break free.

Just like now, accompanied by a burst of ice chakra, Xuefeng forcibly broke free from the shackles of the curse.

Immediately, Xuefeng was about to counterattack Qingming behind him.

However, before he could make the next move, Qing Ming had already performed the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal'.

In an instant, a sealing technique that was several times denser and more complex than the previous 'Seal of Self-Binding' appeared, covering Xuefeng's entire body, making it impossible for him to even think of resisting.

"It's over!"

Xuefeng thought so in his heart.

He wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were out of control.

After a few breaths, the seal was formed, and Qingming sealed Xuefeng's consciousness with just a thought.

thump~
Xuefeng's body fell to the ground, and the mist around him disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Qingming's expression did not change at all.

With his current strength, it would be too easy to deal with such a Jonin.

Not to mention the fog covering it, even if there was no fog, without knowing the effect of his "Heavenly Control", he would be able to take it down easily.

From the beginning to the end, all he cared about was not attracting too much attention.

Now, his goal has been achieved.

Indeed, the movement in the woods here might attract some people's attention, especially Xuefeng's final burst of chakra, which would inevitably attract other people.

But there is no doubt that these people will not connect what happened here to him.

And this is enough.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming casually cleaned up the battlefield, then flew into the sky with the snow wind, flying towards the direction of the island.
