Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

The next day.

At nine o'clock in the morning.

Qingming arrived in front of the Hokage building on time.

Before he approached, Ryosuke's voice came from afar.

"Qingming, here!"

Qingming looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ryosuke waving his arms and Mizutani Shizuko standing quietly beside him.

So he walked over quickly.

"Qingming-kun."

Seeing Qingming coming, Mizutani Shizuko whispered.

"Yeah, Shizuko."

Qingming nodded and responded.

"Qingming, why did you arrive on time again? Can't you come earlier?"

Ryosuke looked at Qingming who was not in a hurry and complained.

Qingming knew that the other party had no ill intentions, so he replied casually: "You came early. The teacher said to gather at nine o'clock, but it's not even nine o'clock now."

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Ryosuke sighed lightly and muttered speechlessly: "You are so mysterious all day long. You leave after completing the task. I don't know what you are doing."

'What are you doing? Of course, you are practicing. ’

However, it is enough for you to know these, there is no need to say them out.

Therefore, Qingming pretended not to hear his words, and waited quietly for Guchuan's arrival.

During this period, he did not forget to gather a small amount of chakra under his feet to brush the proficiency of "chakra control".

Although this efficiency is not as good as climbing trees and treading water, it can be done anytime and anywhere, so the progress is not bad.

Qingming estimated that in another four or five days, he would be able to upgrade to lv3.

By then, 15% of chakra can be saved.

However, it would be more difficult to go up further.

Qingming has vaguely felt the limit of this way of brushing proficiency.

When it reaches lv3, it may be difficult to accumulate proficiency simply by gathering chakra under the soles of the feet. Even if it is possible, the efficiency will probably be greatly reduced.

After that, maybe we have to find some other ways to practice.

As for the goal

Qingming has roughly it - that is the chakra line used by the puppeteer of Sand Village to control the puppet.

It is not a simple matter to condense chakra into such a thin line and manipulate it flexibly. The chakra control required is definitely not low.

If you can get the corresponding training method, you can definitely improve the level of 'chakra control'.

However, these are all later.

At this stage, the focus is still on awakening the Sharingan.

······

Nine o'clock.

A figure appeared silently.

It was none other than Gu Chuan.

"Teacher!" ×3

Seeing the person coming, Qing Ming and others hurriedly greeted him.

"Yeah."

Gu Chuan nodded, his eyes swept across Qing Ming's feet, and then he said: "Since we are already here, let's go in."

After that, he walked towards the Hokage Building.

Qing Ming and others hurriedly followed.

Passing through the door, everyone came to a spacious hall.

There was a circle of wooden counters in the hall, and behind the counters sat a Chunin, who was responsible for reviewing and issuing tasks.

Qing Ming and his group walked towards it.

On the way, Ryosuke asked boredly: "Teacher Furukawa, what mission will we take this time, picking up trash or taking care of children?"

"No."

Furukawa said without looking back: "We will take a C-level mission this time."

"What?"

Hearing this, not only Ryosuke was shocked, but even Qingming showed a bit of surprise.

You know, in Konoha, newly graduated Genin usually have to perform more than eight D-level missions before they are allowed to take C-level missions.

This is also the minimum threshold for participating in the Chunin Exam.

Generally speaking, D-level missions do not involve combat, and are mainly for rookie Genin to practice, basically some trivial matters.

When it comes to C-level missions, combat will be involved.

Although there will be no battle with ninjas, there is a high possibility of encountering bandits, mountain bandits, robbers, gangsters and other thugs.

Therefore, it is not absolutely safe.

In the past half month, they have only performed a total of four missions, and they were all D-level, which does not meet the conditions for taking C-level missions at all.

'It seems that Konoha is going to speed up the growth of our group. ’

Almost in an instant, Qingming came to this conclusion.

And this also made his heart, which had finally calmed down, feel a little more urgent again.

Konoha did not send them directly to the battlefield, but it did not think about training them step by step.

If he guessed correctly, it would not be long before they would go to the battlefield.

"Great, we can finally leave the village."

Looking at Ryosuke who was still excited, Qingming did not say much, but just followed behind Guchuan quietly.

Although the other party was his companion, he did not need to remind him of everything, and the other party also needed to grow up.

In front of the counter.

After talking with the staff, Guchuan got a scroll.

After opening it, there was a task inside.

Task: Suppress bandits

Content: A group of bandits entrenched on Xiaohei Mountain had a huge impact on the business road below the mountain, and they needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Level: C-level

Requirements: Kill all bandits.

Reward: 75,000 taels

‘It’s actually a direct combat mission, so it really values ​​actual combat ability more’

After reading the contents of the scroll, Qingming glanced at Guchuan and muttered in his heart.

From the contents of the survival exercise, it can be seen that compared with other teachers who pay more attention to students’ character, Guchuan obviously values ​​actual ability more.

For both C-level missions, direct combat missions are obviously more difficult than escort missions.

After all, the former is almost certain to involve a fight, while the latter is likely to be safe and sound.

Mountain bandits and thieves are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death. When they see that the target is escorted by ninjas, they may give up the fight.

So it is possible to avoid fighting.

In this case, the novice Genin who performs the mission only needs to bear the psychological pressure, and does not need to fight in real life.

On the contrary, direct combat missions are different. They really need to fight with real swords and guns, and blood will inevitably be seen during the process.

Logically speaking, even if you accept a C-level mission, you should start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones, but Furukawa obviously has no such intention, and he starts with the most difficult ones.

This will inevitably cause greater pressure on the Genin.

Just like now, after reading the content of the mission, Ryosuke, who was excited and shouting just now, immediately quieted down, and Mizutani Shizuko beside him also turned pale.

After all, he is a child of about ten years old. Even if he has learned a lot of killing skills in the ninja school, he is still a little hesitant when it comes to killing people.

Let alone them, even Qingming, an adult, could not help but feel a little upset after knowing what he was about to do.

As a young man who grew up in a peaceful era, Qingming has an instinctive reverence for life.

Even if he traveled through time and accepted the memories of his predecessor, it is not so easy to break the three views that have been established.

However, he also knew that in the ninja world, where human lives are worthless, if he cannot break through the psychological barriers, then only death will greet him.

In order to protect himself, he can only let his fellow Taoist die rather than the poor Taoist.

What's more, these mountain bandits are not good people. Killing them is also to eliminate harm for the people, and there is no need to have too much psychological burden.

As if he had convinced himself, Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Looking at the three people who said nothing, Guchuan did not comfort them, but just ordered: "Go back and organize your equipment now, and gather at the village gate at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember, don't be late."

After that, he left the hall with a flash of body.

Looking at Guchuan who disappeared without a trace, Qingming retracted his gaze and looked at his two bewildered companions. He also did not say anything to comfort them. He just said "I'm leaving first" and walked away.

Looking at Qingming's back, Liangjie raised his hand and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he gave up in the end.
