Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Sunset and moonrise.

In a blink of an eye, night has fallen.

Several hours passed, and Qing Ming was still sleeping soundly.

At a certain moment, there was a knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong~

The next moment, Qing Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

In just a moment, his eyes changed from confusion to clarity.

Immediately afterwards, his perception spread, and after confirming the identity of the visitor, he relaxed a little.

However, he did not respond in a hurry. Instead, he sat up, spread his arms, and stretched hard.

Kakakka~

There was a sound of bones rubbing together.

Qing Ming just felt extremely comfortable.

“I haven’t slept so comfortably in a long time!”

Qing Ming murmured, retracted his arm, and then said: "Come in!"

Crunch~

The door was pushed open.

Uchiha Tiehuo walked in.

Seeing the other party, Qing Ming asked directly: "What's the matter?"

Hearing Qingming's inquiry, Uchiha Tiehuo didn't waste any time and replied directly: "This afternoon, Captain Kurosawa sent a message asking you to arrive at the Black Stone Stronghold before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Blackstone Stronghold?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming frowned slightly and confirmed, "Is it the black stone stronghold that belongs to the central defense line and is close to the southernmost part of the northern defense line?"

"Yes, that's right there!"

Uchiha Tiehuo replied affirmatively.

"If I remember correctly, there should be a large stronghold there with extremely tight defense. It should not have been compromised, right?"

Speaking of this, Qing Ming suddenly seemed to remember something and interjected, "By the way, how many strongholds did we lose in last night's battle?"

"Four."

Uchiha Tiehuo replied: "According to the news from Captain Kurosawa, Kirigakure Village broke through a total of four of our strongholds last night, one of which was near the Black Stone stronghold."

"Oh~"

Hearing this, Qing Ming suddenly understood: "In other words, the headquarters is preparing to retake this stronghold."

"That's how it should be."

Uchiha Tiehuo replied: "It's not just you, I heard that jonins from other strongholds have also been transferred, and they are all concentrated in the Black Stone Stronghold."

"Is this so"

Qing Ming groaned and spoke again: "I'm leaving, what about this stronghold? Kirigakure Village may not really give up here. Does Captain Kurosawa have any plans?"

"Um."

Uchiha Tiehuo nodded, confirmed his guess, and said: "Tonight, a hundred-man brigade will come to support."

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "In addition, according to Captain Kurosawa, it seems that the village has received the news that Kirigakure Village will not attack other strongholds. They seem to be preparing to use those four strongholds as a springboard. , expand the occupied area.”

Qing Ming heard this, thought about it, and felt that it made sense.

Now that four strongholds have been captured, there is really no need for Kirigakure to attack everywhere. This can certainly contain Konoha's energy.

But it will also disperse their forces.

After all, this is Konoha's home ground. If they suddenly concentrate their forces and recapture those four strongholds, wouldn't Kirigakure Village's work be in vain?

Therefore, the key is to seize the benefits first.

In this way, it is naturally not suitable to continue to attack everywhere.

In this case, there is really no need to worry too much about the Eagle Beak Cliff Stronghold.

Because even if Kirigakure still won't give up and wants to take action here, there is a high probability that not too many people will be dispatched.

There is a hundred-man brigade for support, which is enough!

With this thought, Qing Ming was completely relieved.

Immediately, the room fell into silence.

After a while, Qing Ming spoke again: "Is there anything else?"

Uchiha Tiehuo thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No more."

"Okay then, go ahead!"

Qing Ming immediately started chasing people away.

Hearing this, Uchiha Tiehuo responded and walked towards the door.

However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "Qing Ming, be careful!"

"Um?"

When Qing Ming heard this, he raised his brows and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't you understand my skills? You'll be fine."

"Well, I believe you."

Uchiha Tiehuo nodded seriously, then said no more, turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Feeling his retreating breath, Qing Ming shook her head and said with a smile: "You are still worried about my safety. Am I a person who likes to show off?"

Speaking of this, Qing Ming suddenly stopped.

Without him, he suddenly thought of what he had done last night, and the subsequent actions of treating the wounded that exhausted him.

'It seems... it's really a little bit interesting.'

Qing Ming thought.

But then, he shook his head. His family knew about his family affairs, and that was why he was so unscrupulous last night.

One is that Kirigakure really has no good way to deal with his flying ninjutsu, and the other is that he has the ‘Tian Zhi’ as his trump card.

Once you have confidence in your heart, you can naturally be bolder.

Without these two, he would naturally not be so 'adventurous'.

As for subsequent treatment of the injured,

That's just what he can do, it's nothing.

Therefore, Uchiha Tiehuo's worries are completely unnecessary.

In addition, he was not completely without gains from using medical ninjutsu to treat the wounded so frequently this morning.

At the very least, his proficiency in several medical ninjutsu has been greatly improved.

Before, he said that this would slow down his progress, but it would only slow down the transformation of his body and the evolution of the Sharingan.

The other effects were not very big.

After all, most of the chakras were eventually converted into proficiency and remained in his body.

It was just that the proficiency of the conversion did not quite match his plan.

Qingming opened the panel and took a look.

It can be seen that his ‘Palm Immortal Technique’, ‘Chakra Scalpel’, and ‘Skin Extraction Technique’ have all increased their proficiency by several hundred points.

Especially the ‘Palm Immortal Technique’, because of the bonus of practice, the proficiency has directly increased by nearly a thousand points, which is almost the sum of the past four days.

Unfortunately, all these proficiency points were used by him to save people.

Otherwise, his body should have reached the critical point of transformation now.

Shaking his head, Qingming stopped thinking about it and began to perform the ‘Reflection Heart Technique’ to stimulate the brain to produce special chakra and promote the evolution of the Sharingan.

After an afternoon of sleep, the chakra in his body has long been restored to full state.

The Black Stone Stronghold is only less than 60 kilometers away from here. With his speed, if he uses the "Wind Style: Wind Wings", he can arrive in less than 40 minutes. There is no need to rush.

It just so happens that he has already slept enough, so he can take advantage of this time to make up for the progress of training that he missed today.

In this way, time passed by minute by minute.

The night gradually deepened.

And Qingming was still practicing the "Reflection Heart Technique" over and over again, as if he wanted to make up for all the time lost during the day.
