Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Qingming summoned Uchiha Tiehuo and handed him the written letter.

"What is this?"

Uchiha Tiehuo looked at the letter in his hand with a puzzled look.

"This is what I wrote to Elder Huoxuan. Please pass it to him for me."

Facing the other party's puzzled eyes, Qingming spoke.

"Elder Huoxuan? Yes, okay!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tiehuo responded.

Without asking what the content of the letter was, he bit his thumb directly, and then formed the five seals of 'Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei' in sequence, using blood as a guide, and performed the 'Spiritual Summoning Technique'.

Bang~

The next moment, accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke, a small ninja cat that looked like Fat Orange in the previous life appeared.

This is exactly Uchiha Tiehuo's summoned beast!

Meow~

As soon as this ninja cat appeared, it cried out, then opened its mouth and yawned loudly. It can be seen that it did not sleep well last night.

Uchiha Tiehuo ignored all this. He squatted down, looked at the orange cat, and said, "Xiaoju, please do me a favor."

Seeing Xiaoju looking over, Uchiha Tiehuo handed over the letter and said, "Here, this is it. Help me give it to Elder Huoxuan."

As he said that, he stuffed the letter into the orange cat's mouth.

Seeing this, the orange cat rolled his eyes humanely, opened his mouth reluctantly, swallowed the letter, and disappeared.

Looking at his disappearing back, Uchiha Tiehuo stood up and said to Qingming, "Okay, Qingming, Xiaoju can deliver the letter in at most one day."

"Yeah."

Qingming nodded.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words and went about their own business.

No, to be more precise, it was Uchiha Tiehuo who went to do things. After Qingming had breakfast, he went to practice in the forest behind the base.

These days, the Hidden Mist Village is rarely quiet, so he naturally has to seize the time to practice.

······

In a flash, another two days passed.

This evening.

In the forest.

Qingming finished a day of practice, took back all the shadow clones, and carefully felt the gains of the past two days.

After the successful development of the flying ninjutsu, he used all the 7,000 chakra points that he had used to develop the ninjutsu to improve his proficiency.

Now, two days have passed, and his proficiency has increased from lv1 (70/200) to lv2 (35/500)!

After being promoted to lv2, his "Wind Style: Wind Wings" has changed again.

Among them, the most obvious is the flying speed.

Compared with lv1, it has doubled directly, from 10 meters per second to 20 meters per second, which is equivalent to 72 kilometers per hour.

There is no doubt that this is not slow.

The most important thing is that the chakra required to maintain such a fast speed has not increased significantly.

If the chakra consumption of 36 kilometers per hour is unacceptable, then 72 kilometers per hour is still tolerable.

After all, sometimes time is life.

It can save half the time, and it is nothing to spend more chakra for it.

In addition, the most obvious feeling he has is that his body is on the verge of transformation again.

After almost forty days of strengthening, he has accumulated enough foundation, and at most three or four days of effort will reach the critical point.

At that time, as long as he opens the Mangekyō Sharingan and stimulates the power of "Human Control" to guide it, he can easily break the shackles and make the "physique" attribute reach a higher level.

In this way, he will have enough chakra to develop the heart-opening secret technique and the "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique".

Yes, although he has decided to work hard in these two directions, because there is no extra chakra available, he has basically been doing theoretical research in the past two days and has not carried out any practice at all.

He can only confirm that it will not be long before the body will undergo transformation, and the chakra recovery speed will increase at that time, so he can bear it.

Otherwise, the chakra would have been redistributed long ago.

However, this is also good. Do theoretical research first, and then save some chakra when practicing.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Qingming no longer thought about it, got up and left the woods, and walked towards the clifftop stronghold.

Half an hour later.

Qingming hurriedly finished dinner and came to the meeting room.

At this time, several subordinates had arrived in advance.

Qingming didn't waste time and asked them to report today's work one by one.

Although he threw everything to his subordinates, in order to grasp the real-time situation of the stronghold, he still listened to their task reports every day.

In this way, when the enemy arrives, he can also know what to do.

Soon, the report was completed.

After confirming that nothing special happened, Qingming roughly arranged tomorrow's tasks and left in a hurry.

Back to his residence, Qingming was not in a hurry to rest.

He still sat cross-legged as usual, and began to perform the "Palm Immortal Technique" and "Reflection Heart Technique", strengthening his body while promoting the evolution of Sharingan.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

The bright moonlight shone through the window, and Qingming opened his eyes.

At this time, his eyes were full of fatigue.

Putting down his hands, Qingming muttered, "Finally it's done."

After that, he stopped thinking and stood up and walked to the bedside, then his shoulders relaxed and he fell on the bed.

Just a few seconds later, a faint snoring sound came out of his mouth.

Obviously, he has fallen asleep.

······

At the same time.

On the sea, which is still some distance away from the Eagle's Beak Cliff.

Under the moonlight, several ships are moving slowly, without any light on them, and very quiet, just like ghost ships.

This is of course not a ghost ship, but a warship of the Hidden Mist Village.

Because the invasion team suffered heavy losses, the Hidden Mist Village has taken action again after a week of dormancy.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, they are not just making a small fuss.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Not only the Eagle's Beak Cliff, but also several other places are the targets of the Hidden Mist Village tonight.

Tonight, the Hidden Mist Village can be said to be out in full force.

At this time, there are not many Mist Ninjas in the forward base located in the southeast of the Land of Waves, which is used as a bridgehead by the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, they all followed the large army and came to the front line.

The Hidden Mist Village intends to make a concerted effort to completely break through the defense line set by Konoha on the eastern border of the Land of Fire and completely push the front line into the territory of the Land of Fire.

Of course, Kirigakure didn't plan to do anything reckless.

The places they chose to attack were basically the weak points of each defense line.

After such a long battle, Kirigakure had already explored these basic intelligence.

Originally, even if they knew this information, it would not be of much use.

Because they didn't know the distribution of troops in these strongholds and couldn't make targeted arrangements, they didn't dare to launch a full-scale attack.

However, not long ago, Kirigakure Anbu got relevant intelligence, which gave Kirigakure an opportunity to launch an attack.

Especially after confirming that there was no problem with the intelligence, Kirigakure directly launched a full-scale attack.

And tonight is the time for them to launch an attack.
