Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 495 Brutal
"what!"

"Ah~"

"."

Screams were heard one after another.

After Qing Ming's move, several Mist Ninjas were unable to react in time and were either scratched by the earth spikes or had their feet pierced by them. Some even lost their lives outright.

In short, the Mist Ninja's plan was completely disrupted by him.

Only at this point can both parties observe each other calmly.

Qingming saw that there were about twenty to thirty Mist Ninjas in front of him. The strongest among them were two Mist Jounins, and the weakest was a Mist Genin.

However, the opponent did not die from his series of attacks just now, which shows that his strength is not weak.

From this, we can see that the overall strength of these Mist Ninjas is not bad.

Led by two senior ninjas, and with a group of powerful subordinates lying in ambush on their way to support, Qingming had a bad feeling.

Not that anyone is plotting against them.

After all, this road is the only way for almost all Konoha ninjas coming to support from the central and northern defense lines, and they are not the only ones who can take this road.

Therefore, the possibility that the enemy deliberately targeted him and Uchiha Shisui was very small.

The reason why he felt something was wrong was that this place was not far from the gathering point, and he could encounter so many Mist Ninjas here. One could imagine how bad the situation here was.

Qingming was worried about the pressure they would have to bear next.

As for the people in front of me.
To be honest, Qingming didn't take it too seriously.

Two jonin with no special talents, plus a bunch of mid- and low-level ninjas, could never be his match.

This is also one of the reasons why he felt that these people were not deliberately targeting him and Uchiha Shisui.

If the Hidden Mist Village specifically arranged people to ambush them here, the number and quality of the enemies would at least double.

After all, his and Uchiha Shisui's battle records are all there for the taking, and these people are simply not able to deal with them. The Hidden Mist Village cannot be so unwise.

At the same time, this also shows that their whereabouts have not been leaked.

This made Qingming feel relieved.

If this is the case, and their whereabouts can be leaked, it means they have serious internal problems.

No matter what time it is, thieves within the family are the most difficult to guard against. Qingming doesn't want to be on guard against being stabbed in the back by his own people all the time.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Qingming raised his hands again to form seals and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!

Now, he has mastered several sword techniques, and he really doesn't want to use sword techniques in battle unless it is necessary.

Because this has no benefit at all except wasting chakra.

On the contrary, using ninjutsu to fight can not only strike the enemy, but also gain proficiency, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for the little chakra wasted during this period
As long as he made sure to leave a few people alive, he could extract chakra from them to replenish it after the battle.

When he looked back, he saw three fire dragons spewing out of Qingming's mouth, and then under his control, they pounced on the group of Mist Ninjas.

However, these Mist Ninjas had already been dispersed by the previous series of attacks.

Therefore, the targets that the fire dragon can target are very limited.

And fewer people means it is easier to hide.

Therefore, these three fire dragons failed to cause any casualties to the Mist Ninjas. They passed through the Mist Ninja team and crashed into several large trees at the rear.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
The raging flames spread in all directions, instantly igniting the trees in the area and turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

As a result, the Mist Ninjas had to flee in all directions and leave the area.

Qingming seized the opportunity and used the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Sushiyaki Technique - on one of them!
Boom~
A ball of fire appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the man. In the blink of an eye, the fire covered his entire body.

"Ah~~~" A painful wail came from that person's mouth.

He rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on his body.

Seeing this, several Mist Ninjas nearby hurriedly approached him, ready to help him put out the fire.

Qing Ming saw this scene and secretly said, "Good opportunity!"

Then, he planned to attack these people.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared beside him, holding a sickle-shaped ninja tool in his hand, hooking it towards his neck.

It can be predicted that once hit by this move, his throat and carotid artery will be cut instantly, causing him fatal injuries such as suffocation and massive blood loss.

As for blocking
This kind of peculiar ninja tool is designed to strike unexpectedly. Without prior preparation, it is difficult for ordinary people to block it perfectly.

Even if you manage to block it, you will fall into the subsequent trap and lose the initiative.

However, Qingming is not an ordinary person.

Almost at the moment the other party appeared, he glanced over, and the three magatama in his pupils spun rapidly.

In his eyes, the man's movements seemed to be in slow motion, approaching him little by little.

At this moment, Qingming's thinking speed was far beyond that of ordinary people, which gave him enough time to think.

Therefore, before the opponent's sickle-shaped ninja tool hit him, he drew out the long sword at his waist and blocked the attack perfectly.

Not only that, he also turned around and poked the other person's heart with the tip of the knife.

Seeing this scene, Tomohiko Tanabe's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately stepped back to avoid the attack.

Seeing this, Qing Ming was about to take a step forward to give chase.

However, at this moment, several kunai were shot at him from a distance.

Qing Ming suddenly stopped, then waved the long sword in his hand to block all the incoming kunai.

Looking in the direction where the kunai came from, Qingming saw a female ninja, who was one of the only two jonin in the field.

As for the other Jonin, he was naturally the one who had just launched a sneak attack on him.

Qing Ming took a half step back and glanced at the two of them. They were standing on the left and right sides, supporting each other, obviously guarding against his Sharingan illusion.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful you are, it’s meaningless against just two ordinary jonin.

Glancing at the group of Kirigakure Chunins gathering here in front of him, Qingming launched the attack immediately without any hesitation.

Then a green light appeared on his body surface, connecting with his long sword, causing his figure to 'disappear' in an instant. This was the 'Instant Sword Technique' that he had mastered to perfection.

"careful!"

Seeing Qing Ming approaching, Tomohiko Tanabe immediately shouted to Emi Koike opposite him.

That’s right, Qingming’s primary target was this female ninja.

From the division of labor between the two just now, it can be seen that compared to Koike Emi, Tanabe Tomohiko is obviously better at close combat.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to launch a sneak attack while Koike Megumi assisted from a distance.

Of course, you have to pick on the weak ones. Qingming would not cause trouble for himself, so he immediately set his sights on Koike Huimei.

The perfect level of 'Instant Sword Technique' greatly enhanced his speed, allowing him to cross a distance of more than ten meters in an instant and attack Koike Emi.

However, Koike Emi is a true jonin after all. Her close combat ability may not be as good as Tanabe Tomohiko, but it is by no means a shortcoming.

Therefore, she still accurately blocked Qingming's attack.

However, this is just the beginning.
