Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 528: Show of Power and Discovery
Just as he was thinking this, the Mist Ninja in front of him moved.

I don't know who shouted, "Release!"

The next moment, dense kunai shot towards them, like raindrops, covering the sky and the earth, leaving no place to hide.

Seeing this scene, some Genin in the team turned pale and took two steps back unconsciously.

Similarly, the other middle and upper ninjas also looked nervous, holding kunai in their hands, staring at the incoming kunai, ready to block at any time.

It can be predicted that if these kunai are really shot over, then our formation will inevitably be in chaos, because some of these kunai may contain explosive tags.

Originally, our side was inferior to the enemy in terms of numbers, and if the formation was disrupted, it would be even more difficult to win.

"No, we must stop it!"

In just a moment, Qing Ming made the decision.

Then, he took a step forward, raised his hands, completed the seal in an instant, and then slapped the ground and performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!

Rumble~
The ground around them shook.

The next moment, an earth wall about fifty meters long and ten meters high rose from the ground, across the forest, blocking the Konoha ninjas.

If it were said that it was somewhat difficult for Qingming to condense such a wall of earth in such a short time before.

Now, when his 'Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall' is upgraded to level 6 (2300/10000), it can be said to be a piece of cake.

Therefore, the earth wall blocked the attack of the Mist Ninja in time.

Those kunai hit the earth wall, and some were bounced off directly, some were inserted into it, or some exploded, but they did not hurt the Konoha ninjas behind the wall at all.

Not only that, but those Mist Ninjas also suffered badly.

Qing Ming stood on the earth wall, looking at the densely packed Mist Ninjas below. Ignoring the continuous explosions around him, he simply raised his hands to form seals and performed the ninjutsu again - Earth Style: Earth Rising Spear!

A large amount of Earth Style Chakra was injected into the earth wall through his feet, and then penetrated into the earth through the earth wall. Finally, it turned into rock spikes as thick as a baby's arm that emerged from the ground and pierced the Mist Ninjas like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the dense forest in front turned into a "needle forest". Hundreds of rock spikes of varying lengths stood upright on the ground, like an inverted stalactite forest, which made people's scalps numb.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Mist Ninjas either dodged or evaded, and most of them were fine. But there was still a small number of them whose strength was indeed average and who had bad luck, and they became the special focus of Qingming.

Then, the whole person was pierced by several intersecting rock spikes.

In an instant, screams and wails filled the entire dense forest.

It sounds like a long story, but in fact, all this happened in a flash. Qingming formed hand seals and performed ninjutsu twice, but it took them too long for the Mist Ninjas to react.

However, that's all we can get here.

Under Qingming's feet, the earth wall that had just been gathered by the "Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall" collapsed rapidly because it had no chakra to support it.

Behind, a group of Konoha ninjas appeared again.

Immediately, a loud shout came from the Mist Ninja team in front: "Kill!"

Immediately, the Mist Ninjas took action, one by one, running towards this side with kunai in hand.

"You organize people to defend."

Seeing this, Qing Ming said this to a Konoha Jonin behind him, and regardless of whether he heard it or not, he performed "Wind Style: Wind Wings", passed through the treetops above his head, and flew high into the sky.

Looking at the Mist Ninja running towards them rapidly in the dense forest below, Qing Ming said nothing, quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

In an instant, he condensed a huge fireball with a diameter of thirty meters. The light and heat it emitted faintly overshadowed the sun above his head.

Everyone below, whether they were Konoha ninjas or Kirigakure ninjas, were shocked by the huge fireball.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming controlled the fireball to fall and hit the group of Mist Ninjas directly.

Before the fireball got close, you could see that the nearby treetops quickly turned brown, then cracked, and finally burst into flames with a "bang".

"Quick, defend!"

"Get away!"

"No, knock it down!"

"."

Noisy sounds came from the Mist Ninja team below.

You can see that they are very anxious.

In the end, the voice of "beat it" prevailed. The three Mist Hidden Ninjas attacked at the same time, each performing a ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!

In an instant, three giant water dragons were condensed by them, then soared into the sky and crashed into the fireball.

bang~
The fireball and the water dragon collided.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

In the sky, three water dragons formed a “品” shape, holding up the huge fireball.

White steam continued to emerge from the place where the two sides touched, like boiling water, and there was a risk of exploding at any time.

In fact, it is true.

After only a moment's stalemate, the fireball and three water dragons exploded at the same time, turning into large splashes of water and flames that shot everywhere.

The people below were thrown into a panic by this.

However, because Qingming's initial target was the Mist Ninja team, they were the most affected.

As a result, their offensive rhythm was interrupted once again.

Qingming also took the opportunity to give the other party a warning.

Just as he was about to continue bombarding it, some movement in the distance caught his attention.

Faintly, he seemed to see some figures on the way he came.

After glancing at the Konoha team on the ground and confirming once again that there were indeed no Hyuga clan ninjas among the people traveling with the team this time, he raised his hand and released the 'protective seal' between his eyebrows.

The next moment, the white eyes opened.

In just a moment, his vision passed through the forehead protector and saw the scene in the distance.

Those were indeed people, and a bunch of Mist Ninjas at that.

Originally, his expression did not change much, because he had already expected his retreat to be cut off.

But soon, his face turned gloomy.

There was no other reason, he just saw an unusual figure among those Mist Ninjas.

In an instant, Qing Ming focused his attention.

In an instant, the man's chakra meridians appeared in his eyes.

But what he was concerned about was not the chakra meridians that looked like a spider web, but the densely packed insects that were attached to the chakra meridians, as if they were absorbing chakra.

That’s right, it’s a bug, and a parasite at that.

He had seen similar scenes on some ninjas from the Aburame clan.

But why would a ninja from the Aburame clan appear among a group of Mist ninjas?
This made Qingming think of many things.

That's why his expression was so ugly.

"No, we have to take him down!"

In an instant, Qingming made up his mind.

Only in this way can he obtain the most accurate information and avoid being led by the nose.

Admittedly, with his strength, he is not afraid of being targeted, but he also doesn't want to be on edge all the time.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming decided to fly directly over to find the other party.

But just then, he heard the sound of fighting below.

It turned out that while he was in a daze, the Mist Ninja had already attacked and was fighting with a group of Konoha Ninjas.

After thinking for a while, Qingming raised his hands and formed a seal, performing the "Shadow Clone Technique".

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, two shadow clones with "wings" appeared on the field.

Qing Ming didn't waste any words and directly asked one of them to fly to the Black Stone stronghold to ask for help from Sano Nobuhisa there, while the other one assisted the Konoha ninjas below to resist the attack of the Mist ninjas.

As for himself.
Naturally, it is most important to find out that person's identity and purpose.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qingming flew towards the direction of the Mist Ninja.
