Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 968 Replacement
In a flash, time came to two hours later.

The night is getting darker.

Qingming finally completed the training plan for today.

In the open space in the center of Moon Island, Qing Ming opened his eyes again after absorbing and digesting the practice experience and memories of the shadow clones over the past hour.

"Whoo~~~"

He let out a long breath and felt relaxed all over.

After a short rest, Qingming took out a few enhanced military ration pills from his ninja tool bag, suppressed his rejection, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them intermittently.

Now, he misses the delicious food in the village very much.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to eat it tonight.

Time passes minute by minute.

About half an hour later.

Qingming has finished his rest.

Afterwards, he packed up his equipment, raised his hands, formed seals, performed 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', and flew into the sky.

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

After finishing all this, he flew towards the Water Kingdom at a speed of 1.5 kilometers per second.

Because Moon Island is closer to the Water Kingdom, it only took him more than ten minutes to reach the waters of the Water Kingdom.

After going around half a circle, he entered the territory of the Water Kingdom from the northeast.

Then, using the Flying Thunder God mark on the shadow clone that stayed in the Hidden Mist Village as a target, he flew straight towards the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, it still didn't take too long, and he soon arrived outside the Hidden Mist Village.

Qingming opened his Byakugan and observed for a while. When he found nothing unusual, he immediately activated the ability of "Heaven's Control", passed through the perception barrier of the Hidden Mist Village, and entered the interior of the Hidden Mist Village.

After that, he directly locked onto the location of the shadow clone, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', and teleported over.

In the past, he would definitely not do this.

After all, no one knows whether there is another set of barriers in the Hidden Mist Village that can sense spatial fluctuations?

But now, he dared to do it.

As for the reason
It's very simple. As time goes by, the shadow clone that stayed here has figured it out and confirmed that the Hidden Mist Village does not have such a system.

In this way, he will naturally not waste any more time and energy.

Deep in the Hidden Mist Village, in the underwater cave, Qingming's figure suddenly appeared.

The next moment, the shadow clone that was dormant to save chakra opened its eyes in response.

However, after he felt Qingming's breath, he calmed down again.

The two of them didn't exchange too many pleasantries, Qing Ming directly canceled the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and synchronized the other party's memory.

In an instant, a large number of scattered memories flooded into his mind.

Qing Ming quickly closed his eyes, sorted out these memories, and looked for useful information from them.

This step is not very difficult. In order to save chakra, the shadow clone left here is dormant most of the time.

Therefore, his memory is blank most of the time.

Correspondingly, most of the things he could remember were important information.

So, it only took him about half an hour to sort out the other person's memory for a month.

In general, there have not been any major changes in the Hidden Mist Village, except that Karuta Yagura's position as Mizukage is becoming increasingly stable, but the Kaguya clan is a little bit active.

According to the intelligence channel of the master and some other memories of the Kirigakure Anbu, Qingming knew that Yagura Kuji had privately expressed his dissatisfaction with the Kaguya clan many times. Of course, it is also possible that Yagura Kuji deliberately leaked the news in order to warn the Kaguya clan.

But unfortunately, Qingming knew that the Hyuga clan were all bloodthirsty battle maniacs and would not take Karatachi Yagura's warning seriously at all.

It won't be long before they start a rebellion and are exterminated.

At this point in time
Based on Qing Ming's memory, judging from Kaguya-kunmaro's age when Orochimaru abducted him, it probably won't be too long.

However, this has little to do with Qingming. He just intends to pay attention to it and will not do anything unnecessary.

Qingming withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

After calming himself down, he raised his hand again and formed a seal, creating a clone.

He saw a twitching behind him, and then a figure jumped out.

It is made entirely of wood, and the moment it hits the ground, it turns into the appearance of a real person.

Obviously, this is a wooden clone.

That's right, this time, Qing Ming did not use the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create a shadow clone to stay behind, but instead used the 'Wood Clone Technique' to create a wood clone.

Compared with shadow clones, the advantages of using wooden clones are really huge, especially in situations where the clones need to exist for a long time.

Previously, because the shadow clone could not withstand excessive damage, he only dared to let the shadow clone passively collect some information and did not dare to do anything unnecessary. For a month, it could only hibernate most of the time.

Now, with this wooden clone, his tolerance rate has been greatly increased, allowing him to do more things without having to hibernate for a long time.

Qing Ming could almost foresee that he would be able to gain more intelligence the next time he came.

However, if the other party wants to take action, they need chakra.

After thinking for a while, Qing Ming walked up to Mu's clone, raised his hands to form a seal, and cast the "Seal of All Things" on him.

In an instant, a complex sealing technique appeared on the wooden clone, and eventually turned into a seal similar to the Bagua, disappearing at the center of his eyebrows.

Qing Ming reached out and touched his body. After sensing that strange space, he injected about one million points of chakra into it for his use.

After finishing all this, he withdrew his palm and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll leave this to you for the next month."

"Ah."

Hearing this, the wooden clone nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing this, Qing Ming did not waste any more time and immediately performed the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', teleporting to a forest not far from the perception barrier of the Hidden Mist Village.

Here is the Flying Thunder God Mark that he left behind, making it very convenient to enter and exit the Hidden Mist Village.

Qingming opened his white eyes and looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, he immediately activated "Heavenly Control".

Hiding in the dimensional space formed by 'Tian Zhi Yu', Qing Ming swaggered into the territory of the Kirigakure patrol team, then passed through the perception barrier of the Kirigakure Village and left the Kirigakure Village.

After walking for a distance and making sure that the sentry tower of the Hidden Mist Village could no longer detect him, Qingming released the "Heavenly Control".

Then, he used 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', as well as 'Earth Style: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique', and flew into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Land of Lightning.

Starting from the Hidden Mist Village, leaving the Land of Water and heading towards the Land of Lightning, most of the way there is ocean.

Therefore, Qing Ming was not worried at all about his whereabouts being discovered. He took advantage of the cover of night and flew at full speed to his destination.

After crossing the border of the Land of Lightning, he was a little more careful, avoiding important towns and strongholds along the way, and flew through the sparsely populated jungle canyons to the Hidden Mist Village.

With the Flying Thunder God Mark on his shadow clone as a guide, he wasn't worried about flying in the wrong direction.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the outskirts of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Because of its special geographical environment, the Hidden Cloud Village did not set up a perception barrier covering the entire village.

Therefore, he did not need to sneak in carefully, but directly performed the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and teleported to the abandoned experimental base under the pool.
