Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 695 Open

Sure enough, just as he expected, Yano So was not hurt by his sudden change of tactics.

Almost at the moment when his long sword touched the opponent's neck, his body suddenly leaned back to the extreme to avoid the attack.

huh~
The long knife in Qingming's hand brushed past his cheek, and the strong wind generated by the blade cut off several strands of his hair.

Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Qingming, Yano So's heart was pounding!
He didn't dare to stay where he was, and quickly pushed off the ground. He flew backwards like a cannonball and instantly got away from Qingming.

This also made Qingming's subsequent prepared tactics useless.

Seeing this, Qing Ming snorted coldly and said, "You know what's best for you!"

After saying that, he turned sideways to avoid the kunai thrown by Akita from behind, and then rushed straight towards the target.

That was the Cloud Village jonin who used the earth-style ninjutsu to block his fire dragon attack head-on.

Although the opponent had taken advantage of the fight between him and Yano Sou to close the distance between himself and his companions, he was still separated from the team.

What's more, among the three, his close combat ability is the worst, so Qingming naturally picks on the weak.

On the other side, when Naosuke Miura saw Qingming rushing towards him, he immediately dodged and retreated without any hesitation.

On the way, he raised his hands and formed seals, performing a fire-style ninjutsu, spitting out several fireballs in succession and smashing them at Qingming.

However, the power of the ninjutsu that the opponent performed hastily was not very good. The Qingming Sharingan turned rapidly and instantly locked onto the flight trajectory of the fireballs.

So, instead of using any ninjutsu to fight back, he just relied on his superhuman reaction speed to dodge left and right, avoiding all the fireball attacks.

During this period, even the speed did not decrease much.

This meant that when Qing Ming came in front of Miura Naosuke, he could only hastily take out a kunai to deal with him.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all. He immediately swung out three swords in an instant, chopping directly at the opponent's chest, neck and lower abdomen.

There are no fancy techniques in these three sword strikes, only speed and power.

But it was these three simple swords that made Naosuke Miura feel an unprecedented threat.

Qingming's blade was so fast that he could hardly see clearly.

As a last resort, he could only block by relying on his feeling.

Ding Ding Ding ~
Three crisp metal collision sounds were heard.

In an instant, the long sword and the kunai collided three times, and Miura Naosuke unexpectedly blocked Qingming's attack perfectly.

Qing Ming was not surprised by this.

Indeed, the opponent's performance from beginning to end showed that he was not good at close combat.

But it also depends on who he is compared with. Compared with his two companions, his melee combat ability is indeed a little worse, so he can only give the role of frontal attack to the two of them.

However, compared with ordinary Chunin and even special Jonin, he is still far ahead.

After all, he is a true jonin. His abilities in various aspects may be a little lacking, but they are definitely not weaknesses.

Otherwise, he would not have become a true jonin.

This is not a small ninja village that can be compromised.

As one of the five major ninja villages, and also the Hidden Cloud Village where fighting is prevalent, it will not allow a person with insufficient strength to become a jonin.

This has no meaning except to make yourself look guilty.

After all, the other four major ninja villages that are equal to them will not only look at the number of your jonin, but the strength of the ninjas themselves is their focus.

Therefore, there is no need to deceive yourself.

These thoughts passed through his mind, and Qingming looked at the person in front of him. Without any pause, he immediately performed the "Instant Sword Technique" and came to his side. Then, he chopped out another knife.

Naosuke Miura had already managed to block the previous three attacks with great difficulty, and now that he was attacked again, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

He stepped on the ground, tilted his body suddenly, and narrowly avoided the attack.

Qing Ming took advantage of the situation and did not show any mercy. He immediately dodged, changed position, came to the other side of his body, and swung his sword again.

Naosuke Miura continued to dodge.

Qingming continued to attack.

For a moment, Qing Ming seemed to have turned into a ghost, surrounding Miura Naosuke and constantly attacking him, forcing him into danger.

At this moment, Naosuke Miura finally understood why Qingming had the nickname "Ghost Sword".

That’s right, Naosuke Miura and two other Kumogakure jonin have already recognized Qingming’s identity.

Indeed, Qingming has not appeared on the Kumogakure battlefield in the past two to three years, but the Kumogakure Village still needs to pay close attention to this newly rising genius of Konoha.

Even some far-sighted senior ninjas, including the three people in front of them, specifically sought information about Qingming.

Originally, they were somewhat skeptical about the rumored Qing Ming's strength, thinking that it might be exaggerated.

But now, they have no such idea at all.

Putting aside the question of whether Qingming's appearance here means that the team that asked them for help has been killed, the strength he has demonstrated now is enough to attract their attention.

Not to mention, Qing Ming just killed more than a dozen of them in an instant.

Perhaps you would say that Qingming was able to kill so many people instantly because he took advantage of the sneak attack.

But the profession of ninja itself is purpose-oriented, and deception is commonplace. As long as you can achieve your goal, no one will care about your means.

In this way, the fact that he could successfully launch a sneak attack was in itself a testament to Qing Ming’s ability.

In this case, how could they dare to underestimate Qing Ming?

Therefore, in the short time that Qingming and Miura Naosuke were fighting, Akita Li and Yano So had already arrived.

Then, without any hesitation, they attacked Qingming.

Three to one, Qingming was quickly suppressed.

Seeing that Naosuke Miura was about to escape from his attack range, Qingming hesitated for a moment, then concentrated his mind, looked around with the help of his Byakugan, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

That's right, he wasn't going to waste any more time.

There will be another Cloud Ninja team that needs to be dealt with later. If he continues to delay here, the dozen or so people he brought with him will probably suffer heavy casualties.

Although it is normal to have casualties during a mission, and everyone on the battlefield is responsible for their own life, he still hopes for fewer casualties if circumstances permit.

It’s not that he has a heart of a saint, but he had just killed Danzo not long ago, and the situation in the village is somewhat sensitive.

At this time, if he could accumulate some good reputation, it might save him a lot of trouble later.

Anyway, he doesn't have to pay anything, so he naturally won't mind.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming had already opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Suddenly, eyes like black suns appeared in his eye sockets.

Then, before the three Kumogakure jonin could react to what was happening, he activated the pupil technique residing in his left eye - Ame-no-Miya!
