Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

At the same time.

Above the sky.

Qingming also found the Mist Ninjas who came to support.

He looked carefully and immediately confirmed that these people were the Mist Ninjas who were fighting with the Konoha Ninjas and him before.

At this time, there were less than 70 of them left, and they were rushing here quickly.

Looking further away, Qingming saw five Konoha Jonin chasing them behind them, and about a hundred Konoha mid-level and low-level ninjas who survived.

Without thinking, Qingming could guess that these people must have discovered the movement here, so they came one after another.

However, now is not the time for a full-scale conflict.

Just now, the battle between him and the Mist Ninjas below seemed fierce, but in fact it was mainly the Mist Ninjas who were attacking, and he was dodging, and there were not many opportunities to counterattack.

Therefore, the casualties of the Mist Ninjas were very limited.

In this way, the two teams of the Mist Hidden Ninja will be together, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly increased.

On the contrary, on the Konoha side, the support promised by Sano Nobuhisa has not arrived yet. The less than 100 Konoha ninjas who survived are definitely not the opponent's opponents, unless.

He goes all out!

However, just now in order to stop Qing and others from approaching, and to test their cards and consume their energy, he has taken a lot of risks.

Even now, he is still injured.

Although these injuries will not threaten his life for the time being, he is unwilling to fight with injuries after all.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Qingming used the "heart-to-heart technique" and ordered the Konoha ninjas who came to support to retreat temporarily.

After receiving the order, several Konoha ninjas were a little puzzled, but they still obeyed his order and immediately led people to retreat to the rear.

The place designated by Qingming for them is about 1.5 kilometers away from the south gate of the Black Stone Stronghold.

There will be the place where the battle here will be decisive.

At this time, the Mist Ninja has not discovered Konoha's small movements, and Qing and others are still discussing what to do next?

Of course, the main reason why they didn't notice that Konoha had retreated was that the time was still short, and Qingming was always hovering over their heads, attracting most of their attention.

In other words, Qingming was bluffing.

However, such a trick could not hide the opponent for long.

When Qing opened his Byakugan again and observed the surroundings as usual, he found the problem - his team had obviously reunited, but the Konoha ninjas they mentioned had not appeared yet.

Even within a kilometer, there was no trace of them.

This made Qing's heart a little confused.

So, while he ordered the team to be alert to Qingming above their heads, he sent people to search in the direction of the Black Stone Stronghold.

Above, Qingming looked at several Mist Hidden Ninjas who had left the team, and immediately realized that the matter could no longer be concealed.

So, he didn't waste time, flapped his wings, and rushed to the Mist Ninja team below for the last time.

This time, he didn't get too close, and the distance was still far, so he performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

A familiar strong storm hit, and the expressions of the Mist Ninjas below suddenly changed. They quickly used various means to resist the hurricane.

For a while, the entire Mist Ninja team was in a state of chaos.

Facing the howling hurricane, everyone couldn't even open their eyes, let alone defend.

Only a few Mist Ninja Jonins organized more than a dozen Mist Ninja Chunins with decent strength to perform defensive ninjutsu, which barely stabilized the formation.

Seeing this, Qingming changed his hand seals, lowered the altitude, and performed a ninjutsu that the Mist Ninjas were familiar with.

‘Water Style·Mist Ninja Technique~’

In an instant, thick white fog rose from all around.

In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​several hundred meters.

With the help of the chakra diffused in the thick fog, Qingming locked the place where the Mist Ninjas gathered.

Then, without thinking, he performed the ‘Fire Style·Great Fireball Technique’ in succession.

In an instant, fireballs fell like meteors, hitting the Kirigakure team, causing considerable casualties and chaos.

Seeing Qingming so reckless, the Kirigakure jonin and some Kirigakure chunins also launched a counterattack.

The best way to dispel the thick fog is wind escape.

However, with their wind escape ninjutsu, it is obviously impossible to dispel the "water escape·kirigakure technique" that Qingming spent a lot of chakra to perform.

So, after some trials, they chose to fight poison with poison.

That is, they also performed the "water escape·kirigakure technique", making the surrounding thick fog thicker while diluting the chakra belonging to Qingming.

In this way, it would not be so easy for him to use these chakras to sense the movements of the Kirigakure ninjas.

Not only that, the Kirigakure ninjas who have long been accustomed to living in the fog, even if they have not deliberately practiced the "silent killing technique", can have a more acute perception than ordinary ninjas in this environment.

In addition, in this thick fog, although Qing's Byakugan would also be affected by the chakra diffused in it, it could still see more clearly than Qingming's Sharingan.

In this way, under his command, the harm caused by Qingming's ninjutsu began to decrease sharply.

In contrast, the risk he had to bear was increased by more than one level.

As a result, he was hit by two poisonous kunai without being careful.

In fact, if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been entangled by the steel wires shot by several Mist Hidden Ninjas.

In view of all these, Qingming finally gave up the move of continuing to attack the Mist Ninja, turned away from them, and looked for an opportunity to fly in the direction where the Konoha ninja left.

After a few breaths.

Just when he was about to reach his destination, he suddenly saw a hidden Mist Hidden Ninja below.

Qingming looked carefully and found that it was one of the ninjas who had just been sent out by Qing to scout the movements of Konoha.

"Hey, I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain."

With a grumble, Qingming leaped and flew towards the other party.

At first, the Mist Hidden Ninja didn't find anything, but when Qingming came to his head, he finally noticed something unusual.

Instinctively, he looked up.

The next moment, he saw Qingming's figure, and his expression suddenly changed, and he was about to throw the kunai in his hand.

Unfortunately, at the moment when the two sides looked at each other, Qingming performed the "Illusion Sharingan".

In an instant, the Kirigakure Chunin froze in place, his pupils lost focus, and his entire mind was pulled into the illusion.

Qingming was not surprised by this result.

With his current ability, he could not fail to face a Chunin alone, and launched a sneak attack without the other party noticing.

Swish~

Qingming's figure landed in front of him.

Then, he formed seals with both hands, performed the "Chakra Absorption Technique", grabbed his neck, and began to extract the other party's chakra.

After a few seconds.

Qingming loosened his palm, let the other party's body fall to the ground, felt the new chakra in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he did not linger, and after identifying the direction, he performed the "Instant Body Technique" and approached the Konoha ninjas.
