Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 970 Abnormalities and Speculations

Because he had warmed up his white eyes in the morning, it was already very late when he finished his training plan for the day.

Afterwards, he traveled to three villages in succession. It took some time on the road, and it took some more time to synchronize the memories of the three shadow clones.

Therefore, when he returned to the outside of Konoha Village, it was already the next day.

To be precise, it was around three in the morning.

Without a doubt, this was the latest time he returned during his rest days.

Standing in the forest outside Konoha Village, Qingming couldn't help but yawn.

Afterwards, he activated the ability of 'Heaven's Guard' and silently passed through the Konoha perception barrier and the wall and entered the Konoha Village.

However, as soon as he entered, he discovered something unusual.

In an instant, Qingming's mind became clear.

Pausing, he glanced at the Konoha team patrolling nearby. There were more of them than in the past.

and also
Qingming turned around and looked at the watchtower on the wall behind him.

Under the bright moonlight, he could clearly see that the number of lookouts and alert ninjas there had doubled.

All signs indicate that Konoha's alert level has been raised.

Qingming didn't know what had happened in the village that led to such a choice, but he was much more cautious on the road ahead.

What he saw and heard afterwards also confirmed his speculation.

Not only the outskirts of the village, the level of vigilance inside the village is higher, and the number of teams responsible for night patrols has increased significantly.

Among them, there were even quite a few ninjas from the Inuzuka clan, patrolling with their ninja dogs.

Looking at a group of ninjas passing by not far ahead, and the black-backed hound walking in the front, Qingming frowned slightly.

At this point in time, he really didn't want to see Konoha in chaos.

As a "pillar" of the village, once Konoha becomes chaotic, his workload will inevitably increase.

At that time, it will definitely delay his practice.

Qing Ming has not forgotten his physical problems. For him now, nothing is more important than restoring the balance between mind and body.

He really doesn't want to be distracted!
"By the way, what happened in the village?"

Qingming was confused.

He stood there, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't get an answer.

After a moment, Qing Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He withdrew his gaze from the team of ninjas, turned around and hurried towards his home.

Instead of wasting time here and daydreaming, it would be better to go back home and synchronize the memories of the shadow clone.

I believe that the other party would definitely notice such an abnormality in the village.

It turns out that shadow clones are still very reliable.

After returning home, releasing the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and synchronizing the other party's memory, he quickly figured out the whole story.

It turned out that just two days ago, an Anbu ninja was found dead in his home.

Afterwards, the village's barrier team discovered that someone was frequently entering and leaving the village's perception barrier without verification, but when the village made great efforts to investigate, they found nothing.

As a last resort, the alert level was raised.

Of course, all of the above information was inquired and investigated by Shadow Clone with the help of his name, and ordinary people would not know such details.

And the source of everything, the Anbu ninja who died at home, the mission he was carrying out before his death was also overheard by the Shadow Clone.

It was this news that prevented Shadow Clone from reporting the matter to him in a timely manner.

The mission of that Anbu ninja was very simple, which was to protect Uzumaki Kushina!
People who don't know the truth may not think there is anything wrong with this information.

After all, as the wife of the current Hokage, it is normal for Uzumaki Kushina to be protected by the Anbu ninja. However, don't forget that Uzumaki Kushina has another identity, that is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Moreover, she is a pregnant Jinchūriki, and the seal will inevitably have problems during the subsequent childbirth.

In this case, people who know the inside story will definitely not regard the death of this Anbu ninja as an ordinary assassination.

Therefore, it is normal for the village to raise the alert level.

However, compared to the extremely nervous Konoha high-level officials, the Shadow Clone was relieved after learning the news.

There was no other reason. At this point in time, Qingming couldn't think of anyone else who would target the Nine-Tails except Uchiha Obito.

The shadow clone inherited his memory and naturally understood this.

That is why he did not contact him immediately after this incident happened.

After all, he and his shadow clone knew Uchiha Obito's purpose very well.

For the time being, it will not affect him.

So, it doesn’t matter whether he knows it sooner or later.

"Whoo~"

After figuring out all of this, Qing Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit finally relaxed.

Since the so-called abnormalities are within the controllable range, there is no need to worry too much.

He even felt that the village's reaction was a bit excessive.

After all, after the last accidental fight, he reported some information about Uchiha Obito to Minato Namikaze.

Given the other party's intelligence, combined with the traces left by Uchiha Obito, even if his identity could not be determined, it should be clear that simply increasing vigilance would not be effective against someone with special abilities.

'Then why did the other party do this? '

Qing Ming didn't think that Minato Namikaze would not think of this, or that he would lose his mind because his wife was involved. The other party must have some plan.

"what is it then?"

Qingming pondered in his heart.

Suddenly, two words emerged in his mind - paralysis!
That's right, paralysis.

By doing this, Minato Namikaze was probably trying to paralyze Uchiha Obito and tell him that he didn't have any useful information.

In this way, the enemy will relax his vigilance and you can then deliver a fatal blow.

Qing Ming was almost certain that Namikaze Minato and a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials were definitely making targeted arrangements in secret to achieve this goal.

"Haha~"

Thinking of this, Qing Ming couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, he whispered to himself: "Obito, Obito, let me see if you can escape this disaster?"

He no longer cared about the plot. If it could entertain him, it could also add some color to his boring training career.

Qingming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

After ten days of hard training and another busy night tonight, he was already extremely sleepy and urgently needed a good night's sleep.

Thinking of sleeping, Qing Ming couldn't help but yawn. He took off his equipment, didn't even wash his face, and went straight to the bedroom to rest.

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

And just as Qingming expected, in a secret base in Konoha, several ninjas from the barrier class were working with Minato Namikaze to study a special perception and sealing barrier.

The purpose is to deal with Uchiha Obito, an enemy who repeatedly breaks into the village and is suspected of having the ability to transfer space.

It is foreseeable that it won’t be long before the two sides confront each other.

By then, Qingming might be able to satisfy his own mentality of just having fun.
