Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 652 Delay and Promotion

Time flies by like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Konoha.

Root's headquarters base.

Inside an office.

Danzo sat behind his desk, carefully flipping through the surveillance report in his hand.

After a while, he put the report back on the table.

Then, he looked up at the root ninja below and said, "Have you locked the position?"

"Yes, my lord!"

B nodded and said: "Red Shadow Team and Gray Eagle Team have roughly delineated the target's activity range. It will take at most a day or two to lock the specific location."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, a smile appeared on Danzo's sinister face for a long time.

Although it was just a sneer, it was enough to show that he was in a good mood.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "B, go down and prepare immediately. According to the plan made during this period, send the people out of the village in batches. Once the location of the target is determined, start taking action immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, B immediately responded without any objection.

"Um."

Danzo was very satisfied with his attitude. After nodding, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go down!"

"yes."

B finally responded, then walked away.

Crunch~

The office door is closed.

Danzo picked up the surveillance report on the table again and looked at it for a while.

After a moment, he threw the report on the table.

Then, he leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

In the room, the only sound left was the sound of his fingers tapping on the table.

······

at the same time.

A place quite far away from Konoha Village.

Qing Ming was flying in the air, and with his white eyes looking through the Konoha forehead protector, he could clearly see the root ninja hidden in the forest below.

Along the way, he has seen many such teams.

Obviously, his plan was successful, and the root ninja did keep up with him through his own efforts.

However, the timing was a bit unfortunate.

According to his progress, it will take three days before 'Chakra Hagoromo' can advance.

But now, these people can completely lock his location in a day or two at most.

At that time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the other party will most likely take action directly.

In this way, his safety will be less guaranteed.

After thinking about it, Qing Ming decided to delay the time a little as planned.

As soon as he thought of this, he did not go straight forward as usual, but suddenly turned around and flew in another direction.

After a few breaths, when he flew far away, several root ninjas appeared in the forest below.

They looked at Qing Ming's leaving figure, the face under the mask was extremely serious, one of them asked: "Did he find us?"

No wonder he thought so, it was Qing Ming's actions that were so abnormal.

A week has passed, and although they have only followed him here, they probably still know the direction Qing Ming is going to go next.

In the past, based on this, they gradually narrowed the scope of monitoring step by step.

But now, Qing Ming suddenly changed his flight direction.

So, how can we not make them suspicious?

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, in the end everyone chose to stand still.

Things have progressed to this point, and there is no room for them to be careless.

Danzo's order to them was that they would rather lose their target than let Qing Ming discover their traces. There is no way, Qing Ming's flying ninjutsu is too flexible.

All their efforts over the past week would be in vain if he were alerted.

Therefore, they adopted the most conservative approach for this operation.

And Qing Ming didn't cause too much trouble for them. In order to prevent the fish from decoupling, he just left the root ninja surveillance range for a while and then took a detour to the forest to the south.

In this way, with a little investigation by the root ninja, he can discover his whereabouts and confirm that he has not gone too far.

In this way, the root ninja will only think that this is an accident.

When he returns to normal activities tomorrow, everything will be back to normal.

The root ninja would not have too much suspicion. At most, it would take an extra day to re-determine his whereabouts.

And this is nothing compared to the time limit given by Danzo for this mission.

But for Qing Ming, it was an extra day of practice time.

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

In this way, by the time the root ninja locates his specific location, he will almost be able to complete the training of 'Chakra Feather Clothes'.

Of course, such delays are inevitable.

Otherwise, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the root ninja and Danzo.

After all, if it was just once, they would only think that something might have happened that they didn't know about, causing Qing Ming to change the trajectory of his past activities.

But if it happens too often, even a fool will know there is something wrong.

Fortunately, Qing Ming only needs this time.

Return to this forest.

Qing Ming wasted no time and immediately raised his hand to form a seal, performing the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

Looking at the five extra figures in the field, Qing Ming skillfully arranged the ninjutsu they needed to practice for them, and then let them leave.

At the same time, Qing Ming himself began to practice.

After that, every hour, he would take back his shadow clones, absorb and digest their practice experience and memories, and convert them into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

After doing this, he will create shadow clones and arrange for them to practice.

This cycle continues to improve the proficiency of each skill.

······

In a flash, the time came to three days later.

This morning.

When Qingming once again absorbed the training experience and memory of the shadow clone, his 'Chakra Feather Clothes' advanced.

Just as he expected, after being promoted to the state of perfection at lv9 (0/0), its effect once again changed qualitatively.

Previously, at level 8, in addition to its "endless life" characteristic, it could only withstand the attacks of two C-level ninjutsu or ten D-level ninjutsu in one second at most.

When encountering B-level ninjutsu, he will immediately collapse.

And now.

Qing Ming can clearly feel its 'sturdiness'.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to form a seal and used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create a shadow clone.

Then, start testing.

He continued to perform various ninjutsu, attacking the shadow clone that activated the 'Chakra Hagoromo'.

Time passes minute by minute.

After almost ten minutes, Qing Ming stopped.

At this time, he came to the conclusion that with the enhanced version of 'Eternal Life', he could basically ignore D-level and below ninjutsu as long as the chakra was not depleted.

For C-level ninjutsu, it is not a problem to be able to withstand seven or eight attacks in one second.

Even a B-level ninjutsu can withstand two attacks without being destroyed.

It can be said that the effect has been very powerful.

And this also made Qing Ming more confident in the next battle.

Thinking like this, Qing Ming lifted the 'guardian seal' between his eyebrows, opened his white eyes, and looked at the root ninja hidden within a kilometer radius.

Yes, the root ninja had already touched his side.

And he is also waiting for the arrival of someone.
