Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 691 Escape and Chase

"team leader!"

"Captain~"

"."

Seeing that the middle-aged Cloud Ninja was controlled by Qingming, the other Cloud Ninjas in the field spoke out anxiously, as if they wanted to wake the other party up in this way.

Unfortunately, this is just their wishful thinking.

With the full-level 'Illusion Sharingan', plus Qing Ming's current mental strength, he was well prepared. Without personal contact, it would be impossible for an outsider to wake the other party up.

Qing Ming glanced at these people, then formed hand seals as if no one was around and performed a ninjutsu - the chakra absorption technique!
He grabbed the neck of the middle-aged jonin, and then a large amount of chakra poured into his body like a flood breaking through a dam.

Then, the aura of this Cloud Village jonin quickly weakened.

After just a few breaths, he completely lost his life due to the massive loss of mental and physical energy.

During this period, other Kumogakure jonin wanted to carry out rescue, but as soon as they made a move, they were stopped by other Konoha jonin.

This resulted in them having to watch each other being sucked to death by Qingming.

After draining the chakra of the middle-aged Cloud Ninja, Qing Ming ran towards another Cloud Ninja who was seriously injured by his "Rasengan" without any hesitation.

When the other party saw him coming, he still wanted to resist and threw several kunai with explosive tags with great effort.

But in Qingming's Sharingan, these attacks were as slow as a turtle crawling. He avoided all the attacks with just a few dodges.

Then, an 'instant sword technique' appeared behind this person.

The next moment, the knife flashed.

There was a "swish" sound, and the long sword in his hand penetrated into the neck of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, then went through and chopped off his head.

puff~
A large amount of blood gushed out from the neck of this Cloud Hidden Ninja like a fountain, instantly dyeing the area within a radius of several meters red.

Seeing this, the other Kumogakure jonin realized that the situation was hopeless, so they stopped hesitating and shouted "Retreat" before running towards the depths of the forest on the right.

When the other twelve Kumogakure Chunins heard the order, they ran over without any hesitation.

That’s right, because Qingming’s movements were too fast, although some of these Kumogakure Chunins were injured, no one was killed.

Therefore, until now, there are still twelve people.

On the other side, seeing the Cloud Ninja team escaping in an instant, the Konoha ninjas present all turned their eyes to Qingming.

Among them, there are both questions about the next step and awe of him.

After all, these were two genuine jonin, and in just a few minutes, they were killed one after another by Qingming.

Such strength made them feel awe.

Perhaps, before this, they had some complaints about Qingming leading a single team to stop the three teams from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Well, after this battle, no one thought so anymore.

Now, they only think that Qingming is skilled and brave.

After all, if all subsequent battles were like this, as long as they didn't let the three teams from the Hidden Cloud Village gather together, they would be able to defeat them one by one by copying their own tactics.

And this was not a difficult task for them who had already grasped the whereabouts of the three teams from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Therefore, they no longer doubted Qingming's decision.

However, Qing Ming didn't care about their thoughts at all. When he saw them looking over, he directly ordered: "Keep chasing, don't stop!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, all the Konoha ninjas responded in unison.

After saying that, they divided into four teams of four and chased in the direction the Cloud Ninja fled.

At this time, the Hyuga clan's senior ninja who had been hiding in the dark appeared.

He did not rush to leave with the team, but came to Qingming and said seriously: "There is a perception ninja among those people. She discovered my spying just now."

"Ah."

Qing Ming nodded calmly. He had guessed this when he first saw the overly cautious behavior of the Cloud Ninja Army.

In fact, he wanted more.

Since the spying of the Hyuga clan's senior ninja in front of him could be discovered, then whether his previous spying had also been discovered.

After all, both of them rolled their eyes, so there was no reason why he would be the only one not discovered.

Therefore, the more likely possibility is that this Cloud Ninja team had already discovered the anomaly.

It was for this reason that the other party was so cautious, and after discovering someone spying for the second time, they stopped directly outside the ambush circle.

Fortunately, the other party had a mission to complete and could not delay. In addition, the perception range of the perception ninja was relatively limited. In the end, even if he did not step into the ambush circle, he still could not escape his attack range.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say.

At the same time, the Hyuga clan's senior ninja was stunned for a moment when he saw Qingming's calm expression, and then he realized that his reminder was a bit redundant.

Qingming has obviously discovered the problem.

So, after he nodded to Qingming, he followed the team to chase after those Cloud Ninjas.

Seeing this, Qing Ming shook off the blood on the blade, put it back into the scabbard, and followed.

Next, he will first deal with the perception ninja.

It is true that the opponent's capabilities are limited, but no matter how limited they are, they still pose a threat to their plan to defeat them one by one.

In order to avoid complications, it is better to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qingming couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from the front.

Several Cloud Village Chunins were unable to escape and were caught up by his ninjas. Now the two sides are fighting each other.

Qing Ming just glanced at them, and after confirming that he had the advantage, he ignored them and directly used the "Instant Body Technique" to continue chasing forward.

On the way ahead, he discovered several more battlefields, all of which were fights between Chunins, and his side basically had the advantage.

This is not to say that the Chunins of the Hidden Cloud Village are inferior to the Chunins of Konoha.

On the contrary, as a fighting village, the Hidden Cloud Village values ​​fighting more, so the average strength of its ninjas is among the best among the major ninja villages of the same level, not to mention that these people are the elite among them.

Their strength is naturally no worse than that of Konoha ninjas, and may even be better.

The reason for the current situation is very simple, that is, we are the pursuing party and can arrange manpower flexibly.

In this way, with the ability restraint and the advantage of being more numerous than the minority, one can naturally gain the advantage.

However, because of this, the manpower of Konoha's pursuit seemed a little insufficient.

That is to say, with the presence of three more jonins, we were able to closely chase the group of cloud ninjas.

Otherwise, the opponent might directly counterattack.

Time passes minute by minute.

Just as the Cloud Ninjas were running away, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Everyone looked carefully. Who else could it be but Qing Ming?

Looking at the only three remaining Kumogakure jonin and several Kumogakure chunins, Qingming said nothing, raised his hands to form seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Flow River!
Although he has not yet mastered this technique to perfection, his proficiency has reached level 6.

Therefore, once it was used, it immediately changed the surrounding terrain.

He saw that the ground in front of him softened instantly under the infusion of his large amount of earth-style chakra, and turned into a liquid like a mudslide, rushing rapidly towards the back.

The Cloud Ninjas were caught off guard and instinctively jumped towards the big tree nearby.

However, as soon as they put their feet on the branch, the big tree under their feet was washed away by the mudslide and they were even swept into it.

As a last resort, they could only jump back and forth, using the trees as a cover to avoid being buried in the mudslide.
