Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 511 Delay
Qingming looked at the two Kirigakure jonin in front of him and a group of nearly a hundred Kirigakure mid- and low-level ninjas in the distance, and there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

This is only the second batch of Mist Ninjas. It can be predicted that as time goes by, more and more Mist Ninjas will come back to provide support.

By then, the pressure he faces will increase.

Also, we can’t let these Mist Village junior ninjas go, at least not all of them.

Qingming glanced at the battlefield behind him.

It can be seen that with the addition of new forces from the Kirigakure detachment led by Yoshida Hideo, the dozen or so Konoha ninjas on the periphery who were responsible for blocking the Kirigakure ninjas from approaching the central battlefield were already struggling.

If these dozens of people were allowed to pass, the pressure they would be under would certainly increase greatly.

At that time, if it collapses, the battle within the Kirigakure Command Center will be affected.

Before, he had said that a few mid- and low-level ninjas could not affect the war situation over there.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, the number of people cannot be too large.

As the saying goes, if there are many ants, the elephant will be killed.

Even the Third Raikage, a top-notch ninja in the ninja world, could be exhausted to death, let alone the patriarchs of several major families and their subordinates?

To take a step back, even if they were not exhausted to death, the battle situation would be affected. If one or two important figures escaped, the gains of their trip would be greatly reduced.

So, after thinking it over, Qing Ming felt that he still couldn't let these people go easily.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Ming leaped back and took the initiative to distance himself from Yoshida Hideo and others.

Before they could react to what he was about to do, Qing Ming quickly raised his hands, crossed them to form the '壬' character seal, and performed the ninjutsu - Shadow Clone Technique!

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, four shadow clones appeared on the field.

Seeing this scene, Yoshida Hero glanced fiercely at the dozens of middle and lower ninjas who were rushing towards this side, and then looked at the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield ahead, and suddenly realized something.

He immediately said, "Quick, stop him, he's trying to delay time!"

While speaking, without waiting for others to react, he raised his hand and formed a seal, attempting to perform some kind of ninjutsu to attack the shadow clone created by Qingming.

Seeing this, the other three reacted quickly and immediately followed up with the attack.

Some of them threw the kunai in their hands, while others, like Yoshida Hideo, were ready to perform large-scale offensive ninjutsu to defeat Qingming's shadow clone in one fell swoop.

However, since Qing Ming dared to do this, he must have been prepared.

Almost at the moment when the opponent attacked, he raised his hand and formed a seal, performing another ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!

Qing Ming squatted down suddenly and slapped his hands on the ground.

The next moment, a large amount of earth-style chakra was injected into the earth.

Then the ground shook.

Immediately afterwards, an earth wall about twenty meters long and five or six meters high rose from the ground, blocking the shadow clones.

With the protection of this earth wall, those kunai were useless. Apart from creating a few gaps in the wall, they failed to cause any harm to Qingming and his shadow clones.

As for the ninjutsu performed by Yoshida Hero and others
Because their original intention was to defeat the shadow clones, the ninjutsu they performed were mostly known for area attacks, rather than powerful single-target attack ninjutsu.

Therefore, they were unable to break through the defense of 'Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall' and did not injure the shadow clone.

And this gave the shadow clone the opportunity to leave.

They all raised their hands and formed seals, then performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wind Wings - at an extremely fast speed!

brush brush~
Pairs of light blue chakra wings appeared. The four nodded to Qingming, then flapped their wings and instantly increased their speed to the maximum, reaching the sky above the Mist Hidden Ninja at a speed of 100 meters per second.

Before these people could respond, the four shadow clones simultaneously performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

In the blink of an eye, four huge fireballs appeared, like four suns hanging in the air, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the surrounding area red.

The rolling heat wave hit, baking the fog ninjas below so much that their mouths were dry and their tongues were parched.

Although this time, due to the limitations of the shadow clone's body, 'Qingming' was unable to condense a fireball as huge as before, but a fireball with a diameter of twenty meters was not small.

What's more, there are four of them this time.

"Run!"

I don’t know who shouted this in the crowd.

The next moment, all the Mist Ninjas immediately split into several groups and fled in different directions.

As for blocking
Do not make jokes!
Not to mention that they simply don't have time to perform ninjutsu to block it. Even if they have the time, who among these middle and lower-level ninjas would be able to block such an attack?
Therefore, everyone's first choice is to dodge.

Boom boom boom~
Four fireballs fell almost at the same time, hitting the ground with a loud noise.

Immediately afterwards, these fireballs exploded and turned into countless flames, spreading in all directions and eventually igniting the surrounding areas, turning the area within a radius of hundreds of meters into a sea of ​​fire.

Some Mist Ninjas with low strength or slow reactions simply had no ability to run out of this range and were directly engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

In the sea of ​​fire, screams rang out one after another, like the roars of evil spirits in hell.

This scene really shocked many Mist Ninjas.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four shadow clones attacked one after another, completely unconcerned about the consumption of chakra, and killed another seven or eight people.

It was not until this time that the Mist Ninjas who were stunned below reacted and began to defend and counterattack in an organized manner.

But doing so would fulfill Qingming's wish.

From the beginning to the end, his goal was to delay the opponent rather than kill as many people as possible, so as long as the opponent did not choose to move forward, everything would be fine.

Therefore, the four shadow clones decisively started a game of attack and defense with the opponent.

Admittedly, due to the inherent defect of the shadow clone being unable to withstand excessive damage, it is easy for the opponent to defeat it in one fell swoop, but this also requires the opponent to seize the opportunity.

With the flexibility provided by the lv5-close to lv6 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', as long as they are not forced into a dead end, it is unlikely that these mid-level and low-level ninjas will find such an opportunity.

So, the shadow clone seems to be walking on a tightrope, which is extremely dangerous, but it is only an appearance. In reality, he is doing it with ease.

In this way, Qingming can focus on dealing with the four Kirigakure jonin in front of him.

Ding ~ Ding ~
Two sounds of metal clashing were heard.

Qing Ming swung his sword repeatedly to block the kunai attacks from Yoshida Hideo and another Kirigakure jonin.

Turning his attention away from the shadow clone, Qing Ming began to concentrate on dealing with the siege of the four Kirigakure jonin.

That’s right, the moment the shadow clone was dispatched, Yoshida Hideo and others began to besiege him.

However, even when facing the siege of four people, he did not fall into an absolute disadvantage.

From time to time, Qingming would find an opportunity to fight back.

The four people in front of him couldn't do anything to him.
