Chapter 680 Promotion and Voting

At the same time.

On the other side.

In Koharu Utatane's home, a figure suddenly appeared and came to her side.

"My Lord!"

The man bowed and said, "I'm back."

Hearing this, Koharu Utatane opened her slightly closed eyes and asked, "How is it?"

"The target is still the same. Every day, he is either practicing or on the way to practice. There is no other abnormality." The man replied.

That's right, among the people who monitor Qingming, there are people sent by Koharu Utatane.

Indeed, the communication in the Hokage's office a few days ago made her temporarily give up the plan to target Qingming directly, but some investigation work has not stopped.

Compared with Mitomon En and Sarutobi Hiruzen, her personality is stronger and she is more impulsive.

Therefore, even if the Uchiha clan has shown an attitude of protecting Qingming to the death, she still did not give up.

Unfortunately, Qingming acted too cautiously and did not give her any handle at all, so that she had no handle to make trouble.

This made Koharu Utatane very uncomfortable.

However, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to hold it in. The village had its own rules. At this sensitive time, if she dared to act rashly, it would definitely give the Uchiha clan a handle.

In this way, the situation would be reversed.

So, even after hearing the report from her subordinates that there was no progress, she suppressed her anger and let the other party leave.

Before leaving, she said, "Continue to monitor, don't relax!"

"Yes, sir!"

The man responded and left.

Soon, only Koharu Utatane was left in the room.

She looked ahead with lifeless eyes, recalling every bit of the past few decades, and finally sighed softly: "Ah!"

······

The next day.

Afternoon.

It was still the same island.

After Qingming once again released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', absorbed all the eleven shadow clones around him into his body, and digested their practice experience, his 'Lightning Release·Lightning Sword' finally advanced to perfection.

Qingming stood up and drew out the long sword from his waist with a clang.

Then, he swung the long sword in his hand, and with the standing point as the center, he performed the move of "Thunder Release·Lightning Sword" in an area of ​​more than ten meters.

For a moment, the surrounding sword lights flickered and thunder roared, which was very lively.

Qingming slashed with a sword, and lightning flew out from the blade like a thread, hitting the big tree in the distance, leaving a charred mark.

Then, he swung the sword again, and another lightning blade shot out, directly splitting a huge rock on the ground not far away.

That's right, after being promoted to the perfect state of lv7 (0/0), he can already use "Thunder Release·Lightning Sword" to launch long-range attacks.

The attack power of the two lightning blades he just slashed was not weaker than that of ordinary C-level ninjutsu.

Given the fragile attributes of most ninjas in the ninja world, as long as they hit the vital points, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured.

In this way, combined with his one-handed seal and no-seal technique, his melee ability can be said to be greatly enhanced.

After playing with the ‘Lightning Style: Lightning Sword’ for a while, Qingming stopped swinging the sword.

After putting it away, he opened the proficiency panel.

Now that the ‘Lightning Style: Lightning Sword’ has been perfected, the chakra originally invested in it must be redistributed.

And how much chakra is this?

A full 87,000 points!

There is no doubt that this is a large amount of chakra, and no matter which skill it is used on, it can greatly speed up its progress.

Qingming's eyes swept over several skills he had learned recently, and after checking their progress bars and confirming that they were all growing according to the plan, he planned to use all these chakras on the ‘Water Style: Great Explosion Water Rush Wave’.

And this was also his original plan.

This technique is advanced from the ‘Water Style: Explosion Water Rush Wave’, and the proficiency is level 7 at the beginning. It can save a lot of time to perfect it.

As for how long it will take.

Qingming had done a test before, and it takes an average of 120 chakra points to practice this technique, which can improve proficiency by one point.

So, 87,000 chakra points is 725 proficiency points.

In this way, it only takes three months to reach the perfect state of A-level ninjutsu level 9 (0/0).

Maybe three months won't be enough for his next action, but even if it is level 8, the water area he created is enough for him to occupy a certain geographical advantage when fighting against the tailed beasts.

Although he is unlikely to use this technique, it is still the same saying

Be prepared!

After making arrangements, Qingming closed the panel.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Then, he raised his hand again to seal, and performed the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique", splitting eleven shadow clones, and began a new round of practice.

In this way, time passed day by day.

As time went by, Konoha Village became more and more lively, and everyone hoped to elect a new Hokage as soon as possible and lead them to a new future.

Finally, ten days later, the Hokage election began.

This morning.

Even Qingming did not rush to the island to practice, but stayed in the village, quietly waiting for the start of the Hokage election.

In fact, the result of the election has been decided long ago.

Now, the interests of all parties have been divided.

Next, they, the senior ninjas, will each cast their own votes, just symbolically going through a process.

The team moved forward quickly, and it was Qingming's turn soon.

He walked into the specially set up voting room, as if nothing had happened, nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others sitting above, and then walked to the voting box.

There was only one voting box on the scene, but two names could be voted in - Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru.

That's right, although Orochimaru had been asked by Sarutobi Hiruzen to withdraw from the Hokage election, he still appeared on the list of candidates.

The reason is also very simple, family disgrace should not be made public.

Therefore, even if Orochimaru has no chance to become the fourth generation Hokage, he still has to sit here and wait quietly for the voting results.

Qingming cast the ballot with Namikaze Minato's name on it in his hand, and glanced at Orochimaru.

It can be seen that the other party's already pale face at this time looks even paler and uglier.

There is no way, in this situation, even Orochimaru's personality is a little unhappy.

After all, one of the protagonists was originally himself, but now he can only watch everyone act.

It would be strange if he could feel good in this situation!

Every person who passed by the field was like a humiliation to him.

Only now Orochimaru still had some attachment to the village and some master-disciple relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen, otherwise he would have left long ago.

As if he had noticed Qingming's gaze, Orochimaru turned his head slightly, and looked over with a pair of golden vertical pupils, his eyes full of indifference.

Qingming did not look at him, and naturally looked away.

After voting, he nodded again to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others in front of him, and then left the room.
