Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 565 Drag

A few minutes later.

Qingming returned to the battlefield.

This time, he did not hide his figure, but flew directly over the battlefield.

"There is someone in the sky!"

The Mist Ninja immediately spotted him and raised the alarm.

"Be careful, it's the Ghost Sword Qingming!"

Another person spoke.

Obviously, the man recognized his identity.

Hearing this name, the Mist Ninjas on the battlefield raised their heads and cast their gazes at him, with fear, curiosity, and outright provocation in their eyes.

In short, not all.

Their abnormal behavior was soon discovered by the Konoha ninja.

So they also looked up to the sky.

However, unlike the Mist Ninjas who were a little panicked after discovering his identity, these Konoha Ninjas were extremely excited.

After all, they had heard of the name of the Konoha Gemini, and it was said that both of them were powerful jonin.

At this time, let alone a powerful jonin, they would not despise even a genin.

After all, they were under too much pressure, and if they hadn't been holding their breath, they would have collapsed long ago.

Now, with the arrival of Qingming, a powerful jonin, they can relieve some of the pressure.

And Qingming has come, so what about the other support? Are they coming soon?

When they thought of this, they unconsciously felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts again, and their mental will that was on the verge of collapse became firm again.

This is the role of Qingming. Even if he hasn't really made a move, these Konoha ninjas can at least hold on for several more minutes.

Qing Ming glanced at the people below, taking in their gazes, and then without further ado, he dived down, lowered his altitude, and threw a shuriken.

Seeing this, the Mist Ninjas were stunned for a moment. They had seen Qingming rushing so fiercely, and thought that he was going to perform some powerful ninjutsu, or just come down directly!

Is this the result?

It made them nervous for nothing!
On the other side, the Konoha ninja was also puzzled. Even if you throw shurikens, throw more. What's the point of throwing only one?
However, just when they were thinking this in their hearts, Qing Ming suddenly raised his hand and quickly formed the eight seals of 'Chou - Xu - Chen - Zi - Xu - Hai - Si - Yin' and performed the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique'.

The next moment, the shuriken he threw split into shadows, from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight.
Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens or even hundreds of shurikens appeared in the sky.

This was the first time that Qing Ming performed this technique in front of so many people.

Qingming was not afraid that Sarutobi Hiruzen would know.

Indeed, this technique was first developed by the other party.

However, he also developed it based on the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

Now, he has practiced the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to the level of the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', so what's the point of learning from the other party's inspiration and developing a similar ninjutsu!

If other people knew, they would only say that he was incredibly talented and would never make random associations.

What's more, Sarutobi Hiruzen is generally a relatively gentle person and is willing to support younger generations. Even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't say much.

Therefore, Qingming can perform this technique without any scruples.

Below, a group of ninjas looked at the dense shurikens falling from the sky. Both their own ninjas and enemy ninjas could not help but want to dodge. But soon, the Konoha ninjas found that all these shurikens avoided them and only targeted the Mist ninjas.

In fact, it is true.

If it was three days ago, Qing Ming would not have been able to do this, but in the past three days, he had gained an additional nearly 600,000 chakra points.

He allocated all of these chakras to 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', with 300,000 points for each skill, which raised their levels by another level.

其中，‘手里剑影分身之术’从lv4（625/2000）提升到了lv5（625/5000），‘查克拉羽衣’从lv4（1330/2000）提升到了lv5（2330/5000）。

The upgrade from lv4 to lv5 is a hurdle, and once you cross it, there will be a qualitative change.

It was this qualitative change that allowed Qingming to have stronger control over the shadow clone shuriken.

In addition, he was in a high position and could see the position of everyone clearly, which enabled him to achieve the feat of attacking only the Mist Ninja and avoiding the Konoha Ninja.

However, although this move seems exaggerated, the damage it causes is actually very limited.

After all, he did not launch a sneak attack this time, and the Mist Ninjas below were at least Chunin in strength, so it was impossible for them to be killed by just a few shurikens.

However, his attack undoubtedly interrupted the offensive rhythm of the Mist Ninja, giving many Konoha Ninjas below time to catch their breath.

In addition, this attack is just the beginning.

In the sky, after performing the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique', Qing Ming did not hesitate at all and immediately raised his altitude again, just in time to avoid some counterattacks from the Mist Ninja.

Then, he found the right opportunity and dived again, a little faster than before.

When the distance was almost right, he quickly formed seals with his hands and instantly performed another ninjutsu - Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!

This is still a group attack ninjutsu.

Phew~puff~puff~
Then, fireballs that looked like balsam seeds flew out of his mouth, and then shot towards the many Mist Ninjas below like bullets.

If they could block the shuriken head-on last time, they would have to dodge the fireball this time.

It’s not that they can’t use ninjutsu to fight back, but it’s not cost-effective.

After all, Qingming spit out hundreds of fireballs at a time. If everyone used ninjutsu to defend, too much chakra would be wasted.

However, their dodge immediately gave the Konoha ninjas who were fighting with them an opportunity. They either took the opportunity to restore their chakra and recuperate, or directly launched a sneak attack.

In short, no longer so passive.

And this is exactly Qingming's purpose.

His goal was never to kill these Mist Ninjas, he just wanted to delay time.

Of course, there are also many smart people among the Mist Ninjas, and naturally some of them saw through his plan, but seeing the problem does not mean that the problem can be solved.

Although they deployed manpower and continuously launched attacks on Qingming, they tried to prevent Qingming from having an impact on the battlefield.

However, Qing Ming, who had mastered the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' to the maximum level, had a flying speed and aerial agility that far exceeded their imagination.

Therefore, they could not do anything to Qingming at all.

However, in order to prevent them from collapsing directly, Qing Ming did not push them too hard.

Usually, when he saw that the Konoha ninjas below had almost recovered, he would fly to another small battlefield and repeat what he had done here.

Similarly, after the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield over there have caught their breath, he will return to the battlefield here.

In short, it’s just one word - drag!
