Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 555 Defeat
Hey~
Ding Ding Ding ~
A series of metal collisions sounded.

Qing Ming held a long sword and fought against five people alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.

He even had many opportunities to counterattack thanks to the 360-degree vision of his Byakugan.

After all, if he didn't have the Byakugan, he would need to rely on his combat instincts and senses to dodge those attacks coming from blind spots in his vision before they hit him.

And now, he can completely respond in advance.

In this way, the time saved can naturally be used for counterattack.

Just look, a special jonin of Kirigakure did not expect that the sneak attack from his companion behind him would be easily avoided by Qingming, thus revealing a flaw.

Qing Ming seized the opportunity and used the "Illusion Sword Technique" directly, swinging the sword to cut the opponent's neck to the chest and abdomen.

Seeing the two sword shadows suddenly appearing in his sight, the expression of this Kirigakure special jonin changed suddenly, and he realized in an instant that he had been hit.

However, it was useless to realize it. Time was pressing and he had no time to distinguish which knife was the real one. He could only rely on his feeling to block one of the knife shadows.

Unfortunately, however, he made the wrong choice.

Looking at the knife shadow that directly pierced through his kunai, the Kirigakure special jonin secretly said that something was wrong and immediately jumped backwards, trying to avoid Qingming's real knife.

At this moment, if there were no other people, even if the opponent retreated, he would still be stabbed. At most, it would just relieve some of the force and the injury would be slightly lighter.

But now, the other party does have other companions around him.

Qingming's "Illusion Sword Technique" can only be used on one person. The Kirigakure special ninja in front of him was affected, but no one else was.

Therefore, when someone saw this special jonin from Kirigakure blocking the air, they knew that he was caught in an illusion, and they rushed forward to remedy the situation.

Hey~
There was a clear sound of metal collision.

The sword that was supposed to hit Qingming was blocked just like that.

Seeing this, Qing Ming secretly felt it was a pity, but he was not too disappointed.

After all, the opponent can block it once, twice, three or four times, but it is impossible for it to be so timely all the time, right?
Anyway, Qing Ming has confirmed that these people cannot pose a fatal threat to him, so his opportunities are unlimited.

Among these infinite opportunities, he only needs to seize one and injure one person, without causing serious damage, to break the deadlock.

Then, it will be time for him to reap the rewards.

To put it another way, even if he can't find an opportunity, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, this place is not far from the Black Stone stronghold, and his huge fireball must have attracted the attention of the Konoha ninjas who were on guard in the stronghold.

As long as he can delay a little longer and wait for these people to arrive, he will be the winner in the end.

It can be said that time is on Qingming's side.

So, he was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, as time went on, the Kirigakure side became more and more anxious, and even used themselves as bait several times in an attempt to lure Qingming into taking risks.

Unfortunately, Qingming just wouldn't be fooled.

This made the group of Kirigakure jonin speechless, and they thought to themselves: "We are all selling our butts so hard, why don't you do it? Where is the youthful spirit? Damn it!"

As the saying goes, one should not be impatient. Once you are impatient, you will definitely make mistakes.

This law applies to ordinary people and also to ninjas, even to senior ninjas.

After all, Jonin is also human!

Just like now, when the battle situation was failing to make progress, a special jonin from the Mist became anxious, and some mistakes occurred in his cooperation with others.

This mistake was noticed by Qingming's Sharingan and Byakugan at the same time.

It took him less than a second to confirm that this was not a trap.

So Qing Ming attacked without hesitation.

Delaying time is only an option as a last resort. If there is a chance, he still wants to solve the problem himself, because only in this way can he gain the most in the end.

His move caught these people off guard.

Over the past period of time, he was not only delaying time, but he was also using the powerful insight of the Sharingan to observe these people's fighting methods and behavioral habits.

If we want to fight back now, we naturally have to use all the conditions we can.

Therefore, not only was the Kirigakure special jonin who made a mistake caught off guard by him, but the rhythm of everyone else was also disrupted in an instant by him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming slashed a special jonin of Kirigakure in the abdomen despite having his back scratched by a kunai from Nishikawa Ochi.

The wind chakra attached to the blade instantly tore the opponent's Mist Uniform, leaving a very deep wound on his abdomen, from which intestines could be faintly seen flowing out.

"Hmm~"

The special jonin of Kirigakure groaned, immediately covered his stomach, quickly retreated, and hid behind the crowd. Qingming just glanced at the other party, and stopped chasing, and turned to attack others.

Now that the balance has been broken, he naturally has to make a concerted effort to defeat the remaining four.

Relying on his super self-healing ability and the confidence brought by the perfect level of "Palm Immortal Art", Qingming began to actively exchange injuries and attack the remaining four people.

The four men didn't understand the situation and within a short period of time, they gave up on attacking and started to defend frequently.

This gives Qingming more room to perform.

During the battle, he skillfully used the two unmarked ninjutsu, 'Chakra Scalpel' and 'Rasengan', and instantly severely injured one of them.

The Kirigakure side lost one more member, which put less pressure on Qingming.

Qing Ming was relentless and immediately rushed forward, not giving the remaining three people a chance to distance themselves and perform ninjutsu, and he started with all kinds of sword moves.

At this moment, he had already reached perfection in his swordsmanship, combining the Konoha-style swordsmanship and Uchiha swordsmanship, and combined with the instant swordsmanship and phantom swordsmanship, he almost made the three of them unable to raise their heads.

Moreover, in order to counter Kizuna Wuyue's secret water transformation technique, Qingming would infuse lightning chakra into the long sword every time he attacked the opponent.

As we all know, lightning can be transmitted through water.

Therefore, when facing him, Gui Deng Wu Yue did not dare to use the secret art of water transformation, for fear that he would be paralyzed on the spot.

This almost destroyed most of his strength.

Originally, relying on the secret art of water transformation, he could ignore most physical attacks, which was just enough to restrain Qingming in melee combat.

Unfortunately, when Qingming developed lightning-attribute chakra, the situation turned around.

And this is what Qingming has always been pursuing. As long as his abilities are comprehensive enough, no matter what kind of enemy he encounters, he can quickly find a way to restrain it.

Today is a practice.

As for the effect.
not bad!
······
Time passes minute by minute.

Finally, under Qingming's crazy attack, another special jonin of Kirigakure could not bear the pressure and made some mistakes.

Seeing this, Qingming's eyes lit up slightly.

The next moment, a green light appeared on his body, and he performed the "Instant Sword Technique".

Then, he came in front of the other person at an extremely fast speed.

huh~
Qingming swung his sword.

Then, at the moment when the opponent's line of sight intersected with the blade, he activated the Sharingan illusion and performed the 'Illusion Sword Technique'.

Originally, Qingming thought that Nishikawa Otomo or Kizuna Mugetsu would block for this special jounin of Kirigakure.

But he never expected that these two people actually took advantage of the moment when he attacked this special jonin of Kirigakure to distance themselves from him.

Whoosh~ whoosh~
Two kunai with detonating tags were thrown by them.

Then, without caring whether the kunai hit the target or not, they turned around, went into the forest, and quickly went away.

"This is... escaped?"

Qing Ming narrowed his eyes, threw out two shurikens, and knocked away the incoming kunai.

Amidst the two explosions, he looked at the others.

It can be seen that not only Nishikawa Otomo and Kizuki Muzuki escaped, but everyone else, including the two Kirigakure special jonin and two chunins who were seriously injured by him before, as well as the surviving chunin who had never had the chance to intervene in the battle, all ran away.

Obviously, they received instructions from Gui Deng Wu Yue, otherwise they would not have been so tacitly coordinated.

In other words, only the Kirigakure special jonin in front of him was left behind as bait.

However, Kizuna Wuyue is not completely ruthless.

Before leaving, he and Nishikawa Ochi threw two kunai to create a chance for this special jonin to escape.

The opponent did seize the opportunity. While Qingming was dealing with the two kunai, he broke away from the battle and ran away.

In an instant, Qingming was the only one left on the field.

He seemed to have gained nothing from this battle.

However, there was no unhappiness on Qingming's face.

There is no other reason, it will be his time to reap the rewards next.

Qing Ming looked in one direction, put away his sword, performed the "Telekinesis Technique", and chased after him.
