Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 534: Be Cautious
puff~
A ball of fire appeared out of nowhere.

It was about to engulf the Root ninja who was performing sonic ninjutsu.

But at this moment, the opponent suddenly lunged forward and avoided the attack of "Fire Style: Sushoku Jutsu".

"what?"

Seeing this, Qing Ming let out a light exclamation and was about to launch another attack immediately.

However, before he could form seals again, his powerful mental perception allowed him to discover that there was more chakra in the air around him.

"This is?"

Qingming's heart moved, and he felt a familiar feeling.

In just a moment, he recognized what kind of ninjutsu this was. It was exactly the ninjutsu he had just performed - Fire Style: Sukiyaki Technique!
Qingming took a quick glance and instantly saw a Root Ninja performing hand seals towards him behind a big tree not far away.

It was obvious that this ninjutsu was performed by the other party.

Without any hesitation, Qing Ming immediately flapped his wings and quickly flew away from the dangerous area.

Almost at the moment he left the place, a large area of ​​fire appeared out of nowhere, covering the space where he had just stayed.

It can be predicted that if his movements had been a little slower, he would have been engulfed by the flames.

"Haha~, what a great opportunity!"

Qing Ming sneered, and immediately formed hand seals at a high speed, launching a "Wind Style: Wind Blade" at the Root Ninja.

huh~
A meter-long transparent wind blade appeared and cut towards the opponent at an extremely fast speed.

Even though he was hiding behind a tree, he still felt a strong sense of crisis of death.

Without any hesitation, he dodged and jumped out of the protection of the big tree.

The next moment, the wind blade cut through the trunk of the tree.

There was a "swish" sound, and the wind blade quickly passed through the tree trunk, cutting the whole tree in half.

Click~~
The big tree couldn't bear the weight and began to collapse rapidly. A large number of branches and leaves fell down, crushing several shorter trees around it, forcing several Root Ninjas nearby to dodge urgently.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming secretly said: "Good opportunity!"

Then, he raised his hands, formed seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!

In an instant, he spit out dozens or even hundreds of fireballs, which looked like Impatiens seeds, floating in the air and flew towards the falling tree.

Soon, the big tree was ignited and turned into a huge source of fire, which quickly spread to the surroundings.

Suddenly, not only the root ninja under the big tree was in trouble, but the root ninja under other nearby trees were also affected.

Ninja, after all, is still a fragile profession with high attack and low defense. Even if it is just an ordinary flame, as long as the fire is big enough, it can burn them to death.

With this thought in mind, Qingming formed hand seals again and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

Call ~
A strong wind came out of his mouth and blew towards the burning forest below.

Suddenly, the fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The two combined to turn a large area of ​​the surrounding forest into a sea of ​​fire.

If an ordinary ninja faced this situation, he would probably be in a panic.

However, these Root Ninjas did not.

They had a clear division of labor, and five of them attacked Qingming, attracting his attention and distracting his energy, preventing him from causing further harm.

The other four people formed hand seals together and each performed a water-style ninjutsu.

In an instant, a large amount of water vapor gathered and turned into four water-style ninjutsu, rushing towards the sea of ​​fire in all directions.

Fire and water are incompatible. Almost the moment the two met, they began to fight. However, although the surrounding fire was large, it was just an ordinary flame after all, while the water in the field was a ninjutsu performed by the ninja.

Therefore, although the power of water escape is small, it still defeats fire in the end.

After a few breaths, the flames in most places were extinguished, with only some flames in the corners still burning.

However, it looked half-dead, and a lot of black smoke came out of the burning place.

After dodging the attacks of several Root ninjas once again, Qingming looked towards the forest below.

It can be seen that the trees in this area, whether they were burned before or not, are now covered with water stains.

In this way, it will not be easy to ignite them again.

Qingming secretly said what a pity, and looked up at the nine surviving Root Ninjas again. Through his Byakugan, he could clearly see the amount of chakra in their bodies.

Judging from this, among these nine people, there are two real jonin, six special jonin, and one chunin.

If it was just this level of strength, Qingming would not be very afraid. Even if he faced the enemy head-on, he was confident that he could win.

But the key point is that these people are Root Ninjas, and their true strength cannot be demonstrated by just chakra.

Since these people dared to deal with him, they must have been prepared.

Indeed, with the help of his Byakugan, he discovered them first and caught them off guard, causing many of their prepared measures to be wasted.

However, Qingming doesn't think that they only have one plan.

Therefore, he would definitely not get close to these people unless it was absolutely necessary.

Qing Ming would rather waste a little more chakra and use the advantage of flying to wear them out than take the risk of going down and fighting them in close combat.

It can be seen from the previous Root ninja who knew sonic ninjutsu that these people are very well prepared, and it is very dangerous to approach rashly.

Therefore, it is better to attack from a distance!

As for the problem of insufficient chakra.
Aren’t there still a large number of Mist Ninjas on the battlefield over there?
With these people as backup, Qingming really doesn't believe that he can't kill these people.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming didn't say anything else. He kept the distance well and started attacking the Root Ninja below.

For the next period of time, Qing Ming seemed to have turned into a ruthless spell-casting machine. He could use all kinds of ninjutsu with ease, and made several Root ninjas flee in panic.

However, looking at their expressions, Qing Ming sneered and said, "Poor performance."

Others may not know the nature of the Root Ninjas, but how could Qingming not know?

Indeed, with the help of the Sharingan and the Byakugan, he timed his attacks very well, leaving almost no chance for the Root ninjas to fight back.

But this is a Root Ninja!

As long as they really want to fight back, they can use the lives of others to gain an opportunity, and those who are treated as abandoned pawns will not object.

But what about these people?
Under his attack, they dodged left and right, one by one, cherishing their lives. They were not the mission tools of 'facing death with indifference' in his memory at all.

Obviously, these people are using this method to lower his guard and look for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

Unfortunately, Qingming had already made up his mind and acted cautiously.

So, no matter how they performed, he would not get close to them and only used ninjutsu to attack from a distance.

In this way, the initiative is completely in his hands.

However, he did not intend to expose these people. Since they were willing to play, Qing Ming did not mind playing with them. After all, he would not be the one who got hurt in the end.
