Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 508 Blocking
On the dilapidated street, Qingming stood with a knife in his hand, and wherever he looked, he saw the corpses of the Mist Ninjas.

This sixth wave of siege was managed to be blocked by him.

"Whoo~"

Qing Ming let out a sigh of relief, gathered his thoughts, sheathed his sword, and leaped up onto the building next to him again.

Then, after a few more leaps, he reached the top.

Standing here, looking down from above, Qingming can easily scan the surroundings.

He saw that there were still many Konoha ninjas fighting nearby.

However, he ignored these battles and turned his attention to the command center further away.

Through the windows and other gaps and cracks on it, he saw flashes of fire from time to time, occasional lightning and water flows, as well as the sounds of other ninjutsu.

It was obvious that the Mist Ninjas there were still making their last resistance.

Qing Ming wanted to open his Byakugan to see more clearly, but considering that there were still many Hyuga ninjas in the field, he finally gave up.

Anyway, given the current situation, the Mist Ninja won't be able to hold out for long, so there's really no need to take the risk.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a group of Mist Ninjas in the distance, rushing towards this side in a hurry.

Immediately, Qingming's eyes focused and his expression changed slightly.

If it was just an ordinary team of Mist Ninjas, it would certainly not be worth Qingming's attention. The key point is that this team of Mist Ninjas came from outside Yujin Port.

In other words, they are not ninjas within the Hidden Mist headquarters.

So, where do they come from?
The answer is obvious.

"It seems that Nara Qiguang still failed to hold back the Mist Ninjas on the inner defense line."

Qingming murmured.

That’s right, these Mist Ninjas came from the Mist Defense Line near Yuzu Port.

He had said before that because the Konoha ninjas had not brought the war to these areas, the Mist ninjas here would most likely come back to support, and their actions could not be delayed too long.

Now it seems that his worries have come true, and those Mist Ninjas have indeed withdrawn their manpower and rushed back.

Even though the other side only has one team now and seems to be short of manpower, it is just the beginning and there will definitely be a steady stream of reinforcements in the future.

If they cannot evacuate quickly, they will definitely be surrounded.

It will be dangerous then.

As for escaping using Minato Namikaze's 'Flying Thunder God Technique'
This is simply not realistic.

Before, it had consumed more than three quarters of his chakra just to transfer them here. Now, he had gone through a great battle. How much chakra was left in his body?
Even though some of their men had died in battle over a period of time and the number of people who needed to be evacuated had decreased, it was still not something the other side could afford.

So, from the very beginning of the plan, they did not rely on Minato Namikaze for their evacuation.

In other words, they certainly couldn't be surrounded.

Otherwise, even if they are powerful, they will eventually be exhausted to death by Kirigakure with their numerical advantage.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Ming immediately raised his hands and formed seals, performing the "Mind Communication Technique" to contact Minato Namikaze.

"Qing Ming?"

The voice of Minato Namikaze sounded in Qingming's mind.

"it's me."

Qing Ming responded, and without any further ado, he immediately told the other party what he had seen.

Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment, then asked, "If you use all your strength, how long can you hold off the opponent?"

He even deliberately emphasized the word "full force", obviously hoping that he would not slack off.

Although he understood the meaning of the other party's words, Qingming's expression did not change.

Qing Ming didn't think it was strange that Minato Namikaze had discovered that he had concealed his strength.

After all, Minato Namikaze's IQ is among the best among all the ninjas.

In this situation, I have come into close contact with him several times. If he still doesn't notice, then there is a problem?
Apart from anything else, his huge chakra alone could not be hidden from the other party. With such chakra, his strength was obviously not as simple as it appeared.

However, Qingming felt that Namikaze Minato might still not be aware of his true strength after he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

At most, they thought that he was hiding some of his strength, but they would never have imagined that he had already opened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, people who are not familiar with the Mangekyō Sharingan are unlikely to notice anything abnormal about him even if they come into close contact with him.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. After a slight hesitation, Qing Ming said, "Ten minutes!"

Qingming gave a relatively conservative time.

This is not just about blocking the Mist Ninjas who are coming back to reinforce, but also the Mist Ninjas who will arrive later need to be taken into account.

Hearing his words, Namikaze Minato was obviously relieved and said, "It won't take that long. We can finish the battle in five minutes at most. Then we can retreat according to the third plan."

"it is good!"

Qing Ming responded and decisively disconnected from the other party.

Click~
Kaka~
Qing Ming twisted his neck, and a sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard.

He looked up at the Mist Ninja outside Aburatsu Port and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Now, the battle officially begins!"

That’s right, for him, the next battle has officially begun.

Previously, the six waves of Mist Ninjas he had dealt with were numerous, but they were all middle and lower level ninjas.

As for him now, fighting against a mid-level and low-level ninja cannot be considered a real battle, it can only be regarded as a warm-up at best.

After all, even the chakra consumed in dealing with them was replenished by the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' he conveniently performed, and his overall condition barely changed.

How can this be considered a battle?

However, what happened next was different. As the team of Mist Ninjas approached, he could already feel that the Mist Ninja leading the front was a genuine Jonin.

In addition to him, there are two other people in this team whose auras are slightly weaker, and they are most likely special jonin with "special skills".

Such strength is enough for him to take it seriously.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming raised his hands, formed seals, and performed "Wind Escape: Wind Wings".

With a "swoosh", a pair of light blue chakra wings appeared behind him, and then with Qingming's control, they flapped violently, carrying him high into the sky, flying towards the direction where the team of Mist Ninjas were coming.

Since he was going to attack with all his strength, he naturally couldn't just stand here and passively wait for the other party to arrive.

Next, he will take the initiative.

He increased his speed to the limit and in just a blink of an eye, Qingming arrived above the team of Mist Ninjas.

"Flying ninjutsu? Uchiha Qingming?"

Below, the leading Kirigakure jonin looked at the blue sky with a frown on his face.

He wanted to command his men to attack, but found that Qing Ming had set the distance very tightly and their attacks could not reach him at all.

But he would not feel at ease if he let Qingming fly overhead.

"Are we going to confront it here?"

As soon as this thought came into Yoshida Hideo's mind, he put it behind him.

He came to rescue, not to waste time with Qingming.

After thinking about it, Yoshida Hero joined forces with several of his ninjas to perform the "Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique".

Wisps of white mist appeared and quickly enveloped the entire team. Then the mist became thicker, obscuring their whereabouts.

Then, the Kirigakure team moved forward rapidly.

Obviously, they wanted to use the cover of the thick fog to quickly reach the battlefield.

Unfortunately, their idea was good, but the implementation was not so smooth.
