Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 832 Take action
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Violent explosions sounded one after another.

Around Qingming, within a ten-meter radius, a large number of fire petals were broken, causing bursts of explosions. Raging flames appeared and attacked the approaching Rock Ninja directly.

These people did not expect that Qingming's seemingly defensive ninjutsu would actually launch a counterattack on its own after being attacked.

Immediately, I was caught off guard.

However, these people were elite Rock Ninjas with quick reaction times. They dispersed almost the moment they saw the flames coming.

At this time, someone said, "Be careful, use long-range ninjutsu to attack."

Upon hearing this, the attacking Iwagakure immediately split into two groups.

Among them, almost half of them took out a large number of kunai and shurikens from their ninja tool bags, wrapped them in detonating talismans, and threw them at Qingming.

Obviously, they wanted to suppress Qingming in this way, leaving him no chance to escape, or to perform other ninjutsu to resist subsequent attacks from their own companions.

However, what they did was completely unnecessary. Even if half of the other side were performing seals, Qingming remained unmoved.

Apart from concentrating his attention and observing the defense of 'Fire Style: Crimson Lotus Hellfire' at all times, he had no intention of counterattacking.

After all, the purpose of doing this was to test the defensive power of 'Fire Style: Crimson Lotus Hellfire', so he would naturally not take the initiative to disrupt the process.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
Kunai and shuriken shot at the fire lotus covering Qingming, and the detonating talismans on it exploded, followed by a deafening sound.

Then there was a blinding flash of fire.

In the center of the fire lotus, Qing Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the red fireballs that were blocked outside, and felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

However, in the next moment, several attacks came, and iron-hard earth spikes emerged from the ground, as if they were going to pierce through the fire lotus under Qingming's feet and pierce him through.

There were also pillars of scorching fire shooting straight from afar, as if they were going to break through the fire lotus protecting Qingming and burn him to ashes.

Similarly, there was also icy rain falling from the sky, pouring down on Qingming, trying to use the restraint relationship between chakras of different attributes to break the fire lotus around him.

These were all ninjutsu attacks launched by the other half of the Iwagakure who had not yet taken action.

It can be seen that they are very thoughtful and cooperate very well.

But alas, this is of no use.

Accompanied by a loud explosion, two layers of the fire lotus around Qingming were indeed broken.

Even some of the flame petals on the third layer were broken.

However, their attacks ultimately failed to hurt Qingming.

Seeing this, the Iwagakure ninjas surrounding Qingming couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Obviously, they were very surprised by this result.

However, these people did not appear to be too panicked.

There is no other reason, they had already prepared a backup plan early on.

The next moment, just as Qing Ming was secretly calculating how many simultaneous ninjutsu the 'Fire Style: Crimson Lotus Hellfire' could block based on the current state of the Fire Lotus, a wind blade that was condensed to the extreme suddenly shot towards him.

The place it chose was exactly where the most flame petals were shattered, and it was obvious that it wanted to break through the defense of the third layer of Fire Lotus from this weak point.

Seeing this, Qing Ming couldn't help but want to laugh.

Indeed, the flame petals at this position suffered the most damage and the defense was the weakest, but this was not something that could be easily broken through by the opponent's ninjutsu.

However, before he could smile, a crackling sound of thunder suddenly rang out.

Then, a bolt of lightning surpassed the wind blade and hit the weak point of defense at a speed that ordinary people could hardly react to.

Boom boom boom~
A large number of flame petals were shattered, causing bursts of explosions.

Finally, a defensive gap appeared in the fire lotus that protected Qingming.

Immediately afterwards, the wind blade passed through the gap and cut Qingming diagonally.

In the fire, Qingming looked at the wind blade that was close at hand but was blocked by the 'Chakra Feather Robe'. The corners of his mouth that were about to curl up slowly retracted. It is true that the opponent's attack did not hurt him. Even if it went further and broke through the protection of the 'Chakra Feather Robe', it would not be possible to hurt him with his current reaction speed and means.

But it is undeniable that the cooperation of these people can already pose some threat to him.

It just so happens that he has already tested everything that needs to be tested, and now it is time to end this battle.

With this thought, Qing Ming consumed a large amount of chakra and in an instant, based on the remaining fire lotus, reconstructed a three-layer fire lotus, blocking the subsequent wave of fierce attacks from the Rock Ninjas.

That’s right, the cooperation between lightning and wind blade just now is not the end.

Behind them, there was a wave of fierce attacks launched by the Iwa Ninjas who had previously attacked him at close range.

Unfortunately, it was blocked again by the fire lotus constructed by Qingming.

Moreover, this time Qing Ming will not just take the beating without fighting back.

In the dust of the fire lotus explosion, between Qingming's eyebrows, the Byakugan under the Konoha forehead protector turned slightly and locked onto one of the Iwagakure.

Then, Qingming completed the hand seal and performed the ninjutsu for the third time - Fire Style: Concentrated Flame Strike!

Although he has not yet mastered this technique to perfection, his proficiency has reached level 9.

Therefore, it is easy to use.

huh~
Then a flash of fire as thick as a thumb appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a Rock Ninja not far away let out a muffled groan.

He was luckier and his heart was not pierced, but a big hole was still burned in his chest. If he was not rescued in time, he would most likely die.

Instead of choosing to finish off the man, after killing him, Qing Ming took advantage of the opportunity when the attention of other Rock Ninjas was drawn to release the 'Fire Style: Crimson Lotus Hellfire' that was protecting his body.

Then, he jumped up and landed on the branch of a big tree behind him.

咻咻 咻 ~
Almost at the moment Qingming jumped onto the tree branch, dozens of shurikens shot towards him.

Qingming's three-magatama Sharingan opened instantly, and the long sword at his waist was grasped in his palm at the same time.

After confirming that there were no detonating tags or other dangerous items on the incoming shurikens, he swung the long sword in his hand and knocked them away one by one.

Then, without waiting for other Rock Ninja to launch an attack, Qingming wiped his palm across the blade, performing the 'Wind Style: Vacuum Blade' to increase the lethality of the long sword, while at the same time using an 'Instant Sword Technique' to attack another Rock Ninja in front of him.

Hey~
The Rock Ninja he targeted reacted quickly. Almost the moment he sensed the danger, he raised the kunai in his hand to block his attack.

The long sword and kunai collided, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

Feeling the force from the kunai and looking at Qingming who was so close, although this Rock Ninja was suppressed, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Next, he just needs to entangle Qingming and wait for other teammates to take action, and then he can take Qingming down.

This is what he thought and what he did.

But before he could make a move, a series of "cracking" sounds as if something was cracking were heard. At first, the sounds were slow, but in just an instant, they became more frequent.

"what's the situation?"

The Rock Ninja who was suppressed by Qingming's long sword was confused.

Then he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The next moment, his pupils trembled violently.

Then, he saw that the kunai made of fine steel in his hand was covered with cracks at some point, as if it would break at any time.

"not good!"

Thinking that something was not going well, the Rock Ninja planned to retreat.

But unfortunately, his reaction was still a little slow.
