Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 789 Missing

In a flash, more than three hours passed.

Time is late at night.

Indoor practice.

When Qingming once again extracted chakra from the different space between his eyebrows, and after the second compression through the "Songluo and All Things" was filled with rolling eyes, a saturation and bloating suddenly came.

Suddenly, Qingming realized that this is today's warmth and nourishment is on the verge of limit.

Sure enough, after persisting for about ten minutes, his eyes could no longer absorb a tiny chakra.

"Inhale~~~Exhale~~~"

Take a deep breath and then slowly exhale.

After a while, Qingming finally opened his eyes.

Because he did not separate his shadow clone and practiced together today, and he slept on the island last night, even though he had survived until now, he was still excited.

However, it is time to rest.

After all, he will have to resume his ascetic practice tomorrow!

Thinking of this in his heart, Qingming stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his face casually, then returned to the bedroom, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and slowly fell asleep.

No words all night!

 ······

The next day.

Early in the morning.

It was dawn.

Qingming had already gotten up.

After completing the washing, putting on the equipment, using the "Shadow Clan Art", and splitting out a shadow clone and staying at home, Qing Ming walked out of the house.

However, just as he was about to have a full meal as before and then leave the village, he suddenly found several Anbe ninjas passing by in the shadows.

Looking at their hurrying steps, something big happened.

but

"What does this have to do with me?"

With a whisper, Qingming shook his head secretly and walked forward again.

But before he could walk far, he found an acquaintance in front of him.

"Hey, Qingming, are you going out again?"

From a distance, Uchiha Shimizu greeted.

That's right, this acquaintance is nothing else, it's Uchiha Shimizu.

"Um."

Looking at the other party, Qingming did not hide his intention to leave the village and nodded.

Then, his eyes swept across the other party and several members of the guard department behind him, and said in a slightly puzzled tone: "What are you going to do this early in the morning?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Shimizu looked around and confirmed that there were no one else, and then he whispered: "Qingming, you are careful recently. Several more people have disappeared in the village last night."

"again"

Qingming was confused.

Then, a memory of the shadow clone who had been left in the village flashed through his mind.

Before, he was only concerned about understanding and receiving tasks, and the other memories of the shadow clone were directly put aside.

Now that I suddenly heard Uchiha Shimizu's words, relevant memories immediately emerged in my mind.

Indeed, in the memory of the shadow clone, in recent times, there have been several missing cases of Konoha.

At first, it was just some ordinary villagers.

But soon, a ninja disappeared.

However, those who had disappeared before were all the middle and lower ninjas, which did not attract the attention of the village.

Now, even the Ancient Ministry and the Security Department have been dispatched. Obviously, the people who disappeared this time are either strong or have different identities, or have both.

That's right, Qingming has guessed what the several Anbe ninjas he just saw are doing.

Looking at their direction of travel and their speed, they were obviously like Uchiha Shimizu, who rushed to the scene.

On the other side, seeing Qingming showing thoughtful appearance, Uchiha Shisui's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Qingming, do you know anything?" Hearing this, Qingming quickly restrained his thoughts, shook his head, and said, "No, I just thought of other things."

Hearing Qingming's explanation, Uchiha Shisu glanced at him with a little suspicion.

For some reason, he always felt that Qingming knew something.

However, since Qingming was unwilling to say it, he didn't ask much.

The two of them had a brief conversation, and Uchiha Shimizu took the people away in a hurry.

Looking at their backs, Qingming murmured, "Are Orochimaru?"

That's right, when Qingming heard that the population was missing, he immediately thought of Orochimaru.

After all, on another timeline, the other party was doing experiments with people from the village.

Now, without the partner of Duanzang providing him with various experimental subjects, he will only be even more crazy.

Therefore, it is very likely that the person who takes action is the other party.

In addition, Qingming also believes that the high-level officials of Hatsuki Shuimen and the majority of Konoha are probably aware of it, but due to Orochimaru's identity, they cannot easily do it when there is no absolute evidence.

Therefore, everything that Anbe, Uchiha Shimizu and others do is just to find evidence.

Unfortunately, Qingming is not optimistic about them.

Orochimaru obviously understood the thoughts of Konoha's senior management. Before the experiment was completed, there was a high probability that there would be no clues left.

In this way, no matter how hard the Secretariat and the Security Department work, it will be futile.

However, Konoha's senior management has limited patience.

Even though he is one of the legendary three ninjas, even if he is a disciple of Sarutobi Hinasaruto, and even if he makes great achievements in military affairs, as long as he offends public anger, the final outcome will be cleaned up.

Of course, whether it can be cleaned depends on the village's ability.

However, when it comes to life-saving ability, if Orochimaru said second, no one would dare to be the first.

Therefore, Qingming estimated that in the end, he was most likely to end up defecting.

This is the benefit of "foresight". Although it is just an inconspicuous information, it can also allow Qingming to infer a lot of things.

And, make some preparations for this.

Standing there and pondering for a while, Qingming stopped thinking about it and continued to walk towards the "food street".

As usual, after eating and drinking, Qingming followed the crowd and left Konoha Village.

After walking to a remote path, Qingming immediately opened his eyes and observed things within a radius of 100 meters.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he directly sensed the Flying Thunder God mark on the island, and with a thought, he activated the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

In just a moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The vision in front of me suddenly changed, and Qingming came from outside Konoha Village to this island in the south of the Kingdom of Fire in an instant.

Here is still as calm as yesterday.

Qing Ming raised his hand to form a seal, and successively used the "Wind of Wind, Wind Wings" and "Chakra Feather Clothes" and flew into the sky.

Then, he began to fly around the island.

In this way, he rolled his eyes and swept over a dozen kilometers in a radius without long.

No abnormality was found!

This made Qing Ming's series of actions seem a bit redundant, but Qing Ming would not be at all relaxed and careless.

As the saying goes, be careful to sail for a thousand years.

If he is careless, he may be lucky once or twice and nothing happens, but once an accident happens, it will inevitably catch him off guard.

So, he would rather waste a little chakra than save time on it.

What's more, it won't take him long.
