Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

‘Ice escape·Ice storm~’

Just when Qingming burned five warships and was about to do the same to the sixth Kirigakure warship, the Kirigakure ninjas who came back to help from afar finally arrived.

The leader had a murderous look on his face, and before he got close, he performed an ice escape ninjutsu.

In an instant, a strong wind blew!

The whistling cold wind, carrying a huge amount of water vapor, spun wildly, and in a short while, the surroundings turned into ice and snow.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, the water vapor turned into snowflakes, and then combined with each other to become small ice crystal shurikens, sweeping towards Qingming.

“Ice escape?”

Looking at the incoming ice storm, Qingming murmured.

Then, he immediately interrupted the ninjutsu that was about to be performed, without any hesitation, he immediately controlled the chakra wings behind him and flew into the sky.

Although this ice storm has a very wide range, its movement speed is average. Before it gets close, Qingming has already moved away from its attack range.

Therefore, until it passed under him, it did not cause any harm to him.

It was not until this time that Qingming stopped destroying the Kirigakure warship and turned to look at the Kirigakure ninjas who had just returned to help.

Swish~

A figure suddenly appeared and stood beside the Kirigakure ninja who had just performed the ‘Ice Style: Ice Storm’. Who else could it be but Ozawa Yuki?

At this time, including him, there were already four jonins in the Kirigakure team that came back to help, and they were all real jonins.

In addition, there were dozens of mid-level and low-level ninjas, almost forming a large team.

However, such a lineup was okay for ordinary people, but it was not enough for Qingming.

To be honest, it was not enough!

The next moment, Qingming raised his hand to form a seal, took a deep breath, and performed a ninjutsu - Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

Qingming's operation was still the same as before - facing enemies above the squad level, he started with the ‘Wind Style: Great Breakthrough’ that could disrupt the formation.

However, the enemy this time was different from the past.

Almost at the moment when the hurricane blew out of his mouth, the Snow Clan Ninja who had just performed the ‘Ice Release·Ice Storm’ performed another Ice Release Ninjutsu.

‘Ice Release·Ice Wall Technique~’

The next moment, a large amount of seawater gathered and then crystallized, eventually forming a huge ice wall about ten meters high and twenty to thirty meters long.

The hurricane released by Qingming blew on the ice wall, leaving a series of cuts of varying depths, but it could not hurt the Mist Ninja behind the ice wall.

Seeing this scene, Qingming couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, the sea environment is still too suitable for these Ice Release Ninjas to perform."

Thinking back to the first time he met the Snow Clan Ninja of the Hidden Mist Village - Xuefeng, he discovered this problem and had been thinking about ways to restrain it.

But unfortunately, there is no good way.

Unless the battlefield is moved to land or other relatively hot places, the advantages of Ice Release can be greatly exerted in this water vapor-filled environment.

And it is obvious that the opponent cannot follow him to such an environment that is not conducive to his performance.

Similarly, he couldn't leave here.

If it were in the past, at this time, he could only fight with the opponent to kill him in close combat.

Perhaps his fire escape could only exert 50% to 60% of its power in this environment, but he could also consume the opponent to death by piling up chakra.

But today was different. He didn't need to fight the opponent head-on. Anyway, his goal was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, reduce the pressure on the battlefield in front, and force the Kirigakure to withdraw.

In this way, he only needed to continue to attack those ships.

With this thought, Qingming gave up the confrontation with the opponent without any hesitation, but flapped his wings and flew to the Kirigakure warship farthest from them.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the four Kirigakure ninjas, including Ozawa Yuki and the Snow Clan ninja, became very ugly.

Without any hesitation, they immediately threw dozens of kunai and shurikens with poison and detonating talismans at Qingming.

However, because the distance was too far, and Qingming acted first, Qingming was not hurt at all.

He just flapped his wings lightly and dodged the attack.

Then, he did not hesitate to speed up to the limit and flew towards the target ship.

"Chase!"

Seeing this, Osawa Yuki immediately ordered the team to chase.

As he spoke, he had already taken the lead and chased after it.

Seeing this, the others could only follow.

Soon, Qingming arrived above the target warship, and the Kirigakure ninja on it immediately attacked, but was easily dodged by Qingming.

However, what greeted them was a fire dragon and a fireball.

Regardless of the damage effect, Qingming looked back at the Kirigakure team that was chasing him hurriedly, and immediately re-selected a target and flew over.

The same selection conditions as before, it was still the farthest distance.

Qingming wanted to rely on the advantages of speed and flexibility of the "Wind Style·Wind Wings" to play guerrilla warfare with the opponent and let them follow him and eat dust.

So, did Osawa Yuki and others understand his ideas?

The answer is obviously yes.

But they still had to play the "game" according to Qingming's ideas.

It was nothing. Whether in the past life or in this life, when sailing on the sea, in order to avoid collision, ships would keep a certain distance from each other.

Although the Kirigakure warships moved closer to each other after stopping, they did not move the ships too close to each other for the convenience of retreat.

Therefore, even though the Kirigakure warships are approaching each other, there is still a distance between them.

In this case, in order to avoid more ships being destroyed, Ozawa Yuki and others can only chase closely, leaving Qingming no extra time.

It is precisely because of this that Qingming has the confidence to fight guerrilla warfare with the opponent.

However, as time goes by, Qingming has less and less room to operate.

Especially when the Kirigakure warships are close to a certain distance, Ozawa Yuki and others are divided into four, defending the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively, he will no longer have the opportunity to destroy the Kirigakure warships.

As for defeating these people one by one,

this is not very realistic.

At the same time, he doesn't want to do this.

First of all, the four people leading the team are all real jonin.

Although he is stronger than them, it is impossible to kill them in seconds without opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

What's more, there are about ten mid-level and low-level ninjas around them to assist!

He has no need to do this thankless task at all.

Secondly, these people are said to be divided into four directions, but the distance between them is not very far, it is easy for them to support each other, and the idea of ​​defeating them one by one is not valid.

Finally, and most importantly, there is no reason for him to take this risk.

His purpose is to put pressure on the front-line Mist Ninjas, not to completely cut off their retreat.

If all the ships are destroyed, then the Mist Ninjas will have to fight even if they don't want to.

Therefore, it is necessary to release the water appropriately.
