Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 642 Chaos

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

The day of departure has arrived.

This morning.

Before daybreak, Qingming and two other Konoha jonins took more than a hundred Konoha ninjas and escorted a dozen carts to set off.

All these vehicles are loaded with strategic materials.

In the battle of Shahe City, many things were not used, and it was impossible for the village to abandon them, so they still had to work hard to **** them back.

Because of this, it would take them at least three times as long to return to the village, that is, about a week.

However, even so, no one in the team complained, and everyone's face showed joy.

Anyway, they finally survived.

This war has lasted too long and too many people have died. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of peace.

Although the past few days have been very peaceful, on the front line, no matter how relaxed everyone seems to be, they are still instinctively tense in their hearts.

This is a habit developed during more than two years of battlefield service.

And next, they will return to the village.

By then, you will be able to relax completely.

So, how could everyone be unhappy?

······

豱辘辘~

The sound of wheels rolling sounded far away in the forest.

Qing Ming sat on a cart and looked at the same environment around him, feeling a little bored.

An hour had passed since they set out, and nothing had happened during this time.

And under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to practice with peace of mind.

After thinking about it, Qingming came to the other two Konoha jounin and said, "I'll go to the sky to take a look. You follow the convoy."

The two knew that Qing Ming had a flying ninjutsu, so after thinking for a while, they nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qing Ming immediately left the convoy, raised his hand to form a seal, displayed the 'Wind Escape·Wind Wings', and flew into the sky.

Everyone in the convoy looked at Qing Ming's back with a hint of envy.

Whether it is the past life or this life, whether ordinary or extraordinary, human beings living on land always yearn for the sky.

Unfortunately, they don't have this ability.

Within a few breaths, Qing Ming's figure disappeared from their sight.

After flying for a while and confirming that no one below could see him, Qing Ming finally stopped.

Then, he directly raised his hands, crossed them to form the 'ren' seal, and performed the 'shadow clone technique'.

Bang~

It exploded with a cloud of chakra smoke.

A shadow clone exactly like Qing Ming appeared in the air.

Qing Ming looked at the other party and said directly: "It's up to you to follow them, I'm going to practice."

That's right, Qing Ming no longer wants to follow the convoy.

To him, that was simply a waste of life.

With this time, he might as well practice.

The shadow clone naturally understood what he was thinking, nodded, and said: "I understand, go ahead. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"good."

Qing Ming responded one last time and flew away from the place.

Estimating the traveling speed of the convoy, Qing Ming chose a location on the map based on the communication range of 100 kilometers between the shadow clone and him using the 'smart of the mind'.

This place is right in front of the convoy, and it is just within the limit range of the 'smart of the mind'.

In this way, he won't have to change positions for a long time.

As soon as he thought of it, Qing Ming raised his hand to form a seal, and after using the 'Chakra Feather Clothes' to protect himself, he immediately flapped his wings and flew towards the target location at the fastest speed.

······

After a few minutes.

Qing Ming arrived at the target location.

This is a forest with two sizable peaks in it.

They are located one south and one north, right in the middle of the forest, and are marked as Twin Mountains on the map.

In the middle of the Twin Mountains is a fairly spacious road.

This road is an important trade route from the eastern part of the Country of Fire to the central part, and it is also the place the convoy plans to pass through.

Qing Ming chose the higher mountain to the north as his training place.

As before, he did not rush down. Instead, he took the lead in lifting the 'guardian seal' between his eyebrows, then concentrated on opening his white eyes, preparing to confirm the surrounding situation.

His sight passed through the Konoha forehead protector between his eyebrows and took everything within a kilometer radius into his field of vision. At first, he thought that there would be no one in such a remote place.

Unexpectedly, when he flew over the shorter mountain in the south, he suddenly saw human buildings inside.

This is a cottage built on the mountain.

Immediately, Qing Ming's attention was attracted.

Then he saw people.

Moreover, there were not just one or two people, but thirty or forty figures.

However, these people don't have any chakra in their bodies, they are just ordinary people.

Qing Ming frowned slightly, he didn't want anyone near where he was practicing.

After thinking for a while, he lowered his height and landed on the mountain.

Without alerting anyone, Qing Ming quickly approached these people.

After seeing the appearance of these people, his frown relaxed.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Otherwise, judging from the appearance of these people, they should be a group of bandits.

In this way, he can solve the problem simply and directly.

However, just in case, he was still going to find someone to ask about the identities of these people.

With this thought, Qing Ming appeared in front of a guard guarding the mountain.

The man was obviously startled by him and instinctively wanted to shout.

However, the next moment, Qing Ming cast the 'Illusion: Sharingan'.

In just a moment, the other party's consciousness was pulled into the illusion.

It didn't take long for Qing Ming to figure out the origins and identities of these people.

Just as he thought, these people were indeed a group of bandits now.

As for why I say now.

The reason is also very simple, that is, they were just a group of refugees fleeing the war at first, and they came here because they could no longer survive.

It is backed by a forest and is indeed rich in all kinds of materials.

But again, the risk is not small.

At first, they were able to take risks and hunt for food.

But when they discovered that they could obtain supplies from caravans passing down the mountain, fewer and fewer people were willing to take the risk.

In the beginning, they were just praying, but once a person's desire is opened, it is not something that can be given away.

Soon the pleas turned into demands.

But if the demand fails, it naturally turns into robbery.

Now, they can be said to be a group of bandits who do all kinds of evil.

Qing Ming will not show mercy when dealing with bandits, even if they were once just a group of refugees.

It didn't take long for Qing Ming to deal with dozens of people inside and outside the village.

After using the Fire Release Ninjutsu to burn them to ashes, Qingming looked at the empty cottage and wondered how many such people there were in the Land of Fire.

"Well, there should be quite a few."

Soon, Qing Ming gave the answer himself.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Although the wars in the past three years have been basically fought outside the Country of Fire, this does not mean that the Country of Fire will not be affected.

The ninjas who infiltrated from other villages didn't care whether you were a civilian or not. Sometimes they would even kill an entire village in order to hide their whereabouts.

Not to mention the ninja wars that broke out in the city from time to time. A single ninjutsu would often kill many people.

How can ordinary people's lives be better under such circumstances?

It can only be said that compared with those small countries that have become battlefields, the civilians of the five major countries can still survive.

And of those who were affected, there were definitely many who eventually became bandits.

Qing Ming can almost predict that in the next period of time, the number of tasks related to suppressing bandits in the village will definitely increase dramatically.

In order to maintain the stability of the Land of Fire, Konoha must also deal with the troubles left over from the war.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Qing Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. He formed the seal again, displayed the 'Wind Escape·Wind Wings', and flew into the sky.

Then, he opened his white eyes again and looked around.

This time, he found nothing unusual.

So, he fell straight to the mountain to the north and started his own practice.
