Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 627 News
At the same time, Takagi Chongsuke also cast his gaze over, and the moment the two looked at each other, he became extremely alert.

However, in the face of absolute strength, mere vigilance is not enough.

As Qing Ming joined the battle and teamed up with his shadow clone, it didn't take long before he left several scars on the opponent.

Seeing that Takagi Sosuke could no longer hold on, another Kirigakure jonin rushed over.

swoosh~
A kunai was fired from the side.

Qingming frowned slightly, and caught a glimpse of the kunai from the corner of his eye. Seeing the person who shot the kunai, he thought to himself, "As expected!"

Before, he had guessed that Kirigakure Commander was unlikely to let him act freely, even if he defeated Xiao Lei Yingren and the other two.

Now it seems that his guess has come true.

Seeing that the situation here was not good, the Kirigakure commander immediately dispatched people to provide support.

Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance, he seems to be a real jonin.

But its condition is not very good.

There were several injuries visible to the naked eye, not to mention the chakra consumed in the body.

It was obvious that the opponent had just come down from another battlefield.

From this, it can be seen that Kirigakure does not have sufficient manpower.

However, no matter where the opponent came from, the combination of two real jonin was enough to cause him some trouble.

Not only that, the Kirigakure commander also sent out several Chunins, who quietly approached Xiao Leiyingren, as if trying to rescue him.

How could Qing Ming tolerate this?

Without any hesitation, he first dodged the kunai that attacked from the side, then stepped forward with a knife and used his shadow clone to block Takagi Sosuke's counterattack.

Finally, he winked at the shadow clone.

The shadow clone shares the same origin with him and has inherited his memories. Even without verbal communication, he can guess his thoughts by seeing his hints.

So, he immediately pulled back and came to the side of Xiao Leiyingren.

Seeing this, the few Kirigakure Chunins wanted to continue the fight.

However, the shadow clone took care of them in just a few rounds.

Afterwards, this shadow clone, like the one that Qingming had split out before, did not linger any longer and immediately performed 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe' and flew away from the battlefield.

However, the shadow clones in front had accumulated enough chakra, so they went out to practice and digest the chakra.

And this shadow clone was carrying little Lei Yingren, preparing to get what Qing Ming wanted to know from him.

Watching them leave, Qingming was completely relieved.

So, he no longer held back, and fought one against two, almost overwhelming Takagi Sosuke and the other Kirigakure jonin.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

About a quarter of an hour later.

A message came from the headquarters.

According to Nara Keiko, the Kirigakure troops that attacked the camp have been repelled, and the troops inside the camp are now pursuing them.

Nara Qiguang asked them that if they could break through the Kirigakure defense line, they must do it within a quarter of an hour.

Otherwise, they would be required to return immediately and block the retreat of the Kirigakure troops.

"A quarter of an hour?"

Qingming murmured, and took advantage of the break in the battle to glance at the battlefield not far away.

The shortening of Kirigakure's third line of defense allowed the three teams to collaborate with each other.

But at the same time, it also reduces the difficulty for the Mist Ninjas to support each other within the defense line.

That is why half an hour has passed and this line of defense has not been breached.

Originally, it was almost done, but now
It’s hard to say.

They can receive news from the camp, and the Mist Ninjas within the defense line will naturally also receive news that their own attacking forces have been frustrated.

In this case, there is a high possibility that they will choose to hold on.

After all, once their troops return, they will be able to form a two-pronged attack with the pursuing troops in the camp.

By then, those evacuated Mist Ninjas will surely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the Kirigakure Commander will try to hold on as long as possible to delay the battle longer.

Even if they choose to retreat actively, the other side will pursue them.

It can be said that the two sides have reached a stalemate to some extent.

But this is what Qingming doesn't want to see.

This war has lasted long enough, and Qingming doesn't want to waste any more time here.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity for a decisive battle no matter what.

And
The so-called stalemate was just the result of the Kirigakure holding on. Up to now, Kirigakure had already fallen into a disadvantage in terms of both high-end and low-end combat power.

Now all it takes is for someone to add fuel to the fire, which will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

And Qingming plans to be the person who starts the fire.

However, before that, he needs to deal with the two opponents in front of him.

And this is not a difficult task.

The past ten minutes of fighting have already allowed him to accumulate enough advantages.

Now is the time to turn it into a winning advantage.

As soon as he thought of this, Qingming released all his chakra, forcing back Takagi Sosuke and another Kirigakure jonin who were approaching.

Then, he put away his sword, formed a seal, and instantly performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!

puff~
He spit out a flame, which then turned into three fire dragons, one of which pounced on Takagi Sosuke, and the other two pounced on another Kirigakure Jonin who was more seriously injured.

Seeing this, the two did not dare to be careless at all and quickly used ninjutsu to resist the fire dragon's attack.

Qing Ming seized the opportunity and used his ninjutsu again - Water Style: Water Cutting Wave, with a sweep, he completely separated the two.

At this moment, he drew his sword and performed the "Instant Sword Technique", and came in front of another Kirigakure Jonin at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

huh~
The sword flashed.

In an instant, Qingming's 'Illusion Sword Technique' and 'Shadow Sword Technique' were performed at the same time. Six sword shadows, three virtual and three real, appeared and slashed at the opponent from different angles.

If he were in his prime, the Kirigakure jonin in front of him might be able to block such an attack.

But after several battles, he had been seriously injured and his reaction speed had dropped significantly.

Therefore, he did not dare to confront head-on and could only choose to retreat.

However, Qingming was waiting for him to retreat.

The chakra in his body burst out again, Qingming stomped his foot on the ground, and the whole person shot out like a cannonball, catching up with the Mist Ninja in an instant.

While swinging the knife at the opponent, he stretched out his left hand.

Silently, a high-density chakra ball appeared in his palm.

This Kirigakure jonin had just blocked the attack of the long sword when he sensed the danger.

He tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Kakakka~
There was a crisp sound of bones cracking.

Qing Ming pressed the Rasengan against the opponent's chest and blasted him away.

When he is at level 8, facing a true jonin, he might not be able to seize such an opportunity.

But now, after being promoted to lv9 (0/0) perfect state, it is possible.

puff~
A large mouthful of blood spurted out of the mouth of this Kirigakure jonin.

His body fell heavily to the ground, and due to his previous injuries, he could no longer get up.

At this time, Takagi Sosuke had just arrived.

Qing Ming didn't hesitate at all and immediately started fighting with him.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~
The sound of metal clashing rang out.

At first, Takagi Chongsuke could still keep up with Qingming's speed in one breath, but after just one or two minutes, he was completely at a disadvantage.

Without the support of his teammates, he was no match for Qing Ming.

In addition, over the past period of time, when Qingming was entangled with them, he collected a lot of information about them through the Sharingan.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Qing Ming to stab the long knife into his abdomen.

puff~
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Takagi Sosuke's mouth.

Without waiting for him to react, Qing Ming waved his left hand, his five fingers turned into a knife, and used the "Chakra Scalpel" to cut his throat instantly.

"Hohohoho~"

A meaningless sound came out of his mouth.

Dang rang~
The kunai in his hand fell to the ground.

Takagi Chongsuke covered his throat with both hands, his eyes wide open, staring at Qingming, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, it was of no use.

呲~
Qingming drew out his long knife, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his abdomen.

In an instant, it lost its vitality.

At this point, both of Kirigakure's jonin had fallen into his hands.
