Chapter 259 Graduation (Part )

The thick smoke caused by the explosion rose up and filled the air, making it almost impossible to see the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, Qingsi's figure flew out diagonally from the thick smoke. Although he had defended himself in time, he was still unable to completely avoid being affected by the explosion.

At this time, Qing Si was covered with a layer of white bone shields, like a solid armor. These bone shields fit tightly to the surface of his body, protecting his body and forming an indestructible line of defense.

However, under the terrifying power of the explosion, even the bone shield as hard as iron could not completely withstand the impact. Under the shock wave of the explosion, the bone shield was covered with fine cracks, as if it could break at any time.

After all, this was just a shadow clone of Qingsi with only the strength of a jonin, and Qingsi was still conscious and released a "vast ocean" on the three little ones!

Seeing Qingsi appear, Xiaonan waved his hands, and countless white papers suddenly appeared and wrapped around Qingsi.

Qingsi quickly adjusted his posture, landed on the ground, and then sank into the ground before the white paper controlled by Xiaonan arrived.

"Earth Release: The Art of Reflecting Fish in the Earth!"

Qing Si used earth escape to hide underground, secretly observing the three little ones, waiting for them to reveal a flaw, and then he could attack them at any time.

"Nagato!" Yahiko and Konan looked at Nagato at the same time, signaling him to quickly sense Seiji's location.

Nagato nodded to show that he understood, and immediately concentrated his mind. He looked around with his lavender Rinnegan, but did not find any trace of Qingsi.

Nagato suddenly felt something was wrong. He had a premonition of Qingsi's next attack, so he quickly concentrated his chakra on his right fist and smashed it hard into the ground.

However, Qingsi's actions were faster.

Before Nagato's fist could land, two hands suddenly stretched out from under Yahiko and Konan's feet, grabbed their ankles respectively, and pulled them down hard.

"Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!!!"

Yahiko was pulled underground without any preparation, with only his head exposed.

Konan, who had been on guard for a long time, made Qingsi's grab fail. The moment Qingsi grabbed her ankle, Konan directly activated the paper substitute that he had secretly prepared.

This is not to say that Yahiko is inferior to Konan, because after several rounds of fighting, as a water-style ninja and one of the main output, Yahiko's chakra has basically been consumed, and his highly concentrated energy has made him a little slack now.

On the other hand, Konan, as a support in this battle, is in much better condition than Yahiko, so she was able to avoid Kiyoshi's grab in time.

"boom!!!"

Under Nagato's heavy punch, the ground was instantly broken into countless pieces, as if it was trampled by a ferocious beast, and the dirt flew everywhere. Each piece of debris seemed to be shattered by a powerful force, and tiny dust and sand particles flew in the air, forming a gray dust mist.

Kiyoshi was directly knocked out from the ground by this fierce punch, while Yahiko was in a more miserable situation. Although Nagato had already retracted some of his strength at the last moment when he saw Yahiko was trapped underground, and the punch did not fall directly on Yahiko, Yahiko, who had no way to avoid it and was unable to defend himself in time because he was trapped, was still directly blown away by the impact of the punch.

Yahiko fell on his back in a mess, with blood spurting out of his mouth. He was really unlucky as he was accidentally injured by his own people!

"Yahiko!" Nagato and Konan exclaimed, anxiety evident in their eyes.

The two men quickly rushed to Yahiko's side and helped him up. Nagato, who sensed from close range that Yahiko was not seriously injured, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Yahiko was seriously injured by his punch, given his personality, he would probably feel guilty for a very long time.

In fact, it's not that Yahiko was unharmed, but when Kiyoshi was using the mental beheading technique to pull Yahiko underground, he realized that Nagato's punch might not be able to be restrained in time.

Therefore, at the same time that Seiji pulled Yahiko underground and trapped him, he also injected a small ball of Yang-ton chakra into Yahiko's body. When Nagato and Konan came to Yahiko, the injuries Yahiko had suffered had almost been healed by the Yang-ton chakra, and even the chakra that had been almost exhausted had recovered a lot.

With the help of Nagato and Konan, Yahiko slowly stood up and spat out the blood foam in his mouth. Although his body was no longer seriously injured at this time, the pain from the injury was real.

The three of them faced Qingsi in battle formation. They knew that this was basically the final round.

After recovering from treatment, Yahiko only had the strength left for one last strike. Konan was not much worse. Although she was much better than Yahiko, her chakra level was already less than that of Yahiko and Nagato, and now she had almost no chakra left.

Only Nagato, both his chakra amount and combat power, still maintain a very high level. Although it can't be said to be his peak period, he can still exert decent combat power.

After Qingsi landed, he carefully sensed the status of the three little ones and thought it was about time to end the battle.

The tacit cooperation between Nagato, Yahiko and Konan in the battle, as well as the combat awareness and combat level they displayed, have fully met Qingji's requirements of them.

Moreover, I believe that at this time, all the Kirigakure high-level officials who were watching the battle already had a deeper understanding of the three little ones.

So, in this battle, Qingsi took the initiative to attack the three people quickly for the first time.

"Here they come!" Yahiko shouted in a low voice, forcing himself to muster the last bit of energy. Konan and Nagato beside him also had stern expressions and were ready for battle.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

Qing Si, who was advancing at high speed, took the lead in launching an attack. Sharp bone blades kept emerging from his shoulders, chest and back, flashing with sharp cold light. As Qing Si continued to move, he pulled out the bone blades and threw them out, targeting the three little ones in front.

As the bone ninjas attacked, Konan and Nagato reacted quickly. They jumped high, one on the left and one on the right, and nimbly avoided the rapidly attacking bone blades, leaving Yahiko standing there as if he was half a beat slow to react, and did not make any moves.

Several bone blades pierced through Yahiko's body in an instant like lightning, but no blood shed from Yahiko's body. Instead, it immediately turned into a pool of clear water and fell to the ground.

It turned out that Yahiko had already used his water clone without realizing it and cleverly avoided the fatal blow.
