Chapter 222 Retreat

Ding~

A crisp metal collision sounded.

Qingming swung the short sword in his hand and accurately blocked the kunai stabbed by Si Guang.

Originally, Qingming thought that the two sides would be deadlocked for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Si Guang actually withdrew at the first touch.

Then, he saw him using the reaction force from the sword blade, turning around and running towards another battlefield without looking back.

The whole process was so smooth, without any dragging.

This made Qingming stunned.

The opponent was so fierce just now that he thought the opponent was going to fight him hard, and he was even prepared for it.

‘The result is this? ’

Qingming couldn't help but have a big question mark on his head.

However

It must be said that the ability to deceive the powerful insight of the Sharingan and prevent him from noticing the real intention at the first time is also the ability of the opponent.

Shaking his head, Qingming did not choose to chase the opponent, but shifted his attention to the surviving Iwagakure middle ninja nearby.

It can be seen that the "strategic transfer" of the leader made these people all confused and at a loss, and it seemed that they might flee at any time.

And Qingming's focused gaze was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

They had seen Qingming's cruelty before, and they dared not confront him.

So, when Qingming looked at them, these people could no longer hold on, gave up their opponents, and scattered around.

Seeing this, Qingming did not say anything nonsense, and flashed his body, just like catching chickens, and caught several people in succession, draining their chakra.

Feeling the almost overflowing chakra in his body, Qingming found a place again in the name of searching for the enemy's traces, and spent more than 20 minutes to convert about 16,000 points of chakra in his body into the proficiency of "palm fairy technique".

After doing this, he attacked again and came to another battlefield of the blocking battle.

There was no Qingming to disrupt here, so the battle situation was very tense.

Qingming didn't wait too long. After seeing the opportunity, he immediately attacked. In the blink of an eye, he subdued several middle and low ninjas of Iwagakure.

The 'Chakra Absorption Technique' was performed, and Qingming used both hands at the same time. It took less than ten seconds to drain their chakra.

In the end, before the leader of the team arrived, he got rid of the entanglement and left the battlefield.

Of course, not everyone is a 'coward' like Si Guang, but no matter how radical they are, they dare not chase into the depths of the jungle alone.

Because that is not tough, but suicide.

It is precisely with this point that Qingming jumped back and forth and succeeded repeatedly.

Unknowingly, he has accumulated more than 160,000 chakras, and the proficiency of the 'Palm Immortal Technique' has reached lv6 (9120/10000)!

Next, as long as he obtains another 130,000 chakras, his 'Palm Immortal Technique' can be successfully promoted.

Just when Qingming was about to make further efforts and gather all the chakra needed for the follow-up, the Hidden Rock Village suddenly withdrew its troops.

Yes, they withdrew their troops.

Not only them, but also the Hidden Rock Ninjas who attacked the mountain in the north and besieged Fengliu Town below all withdrew.

Standing on the treetops, with the help of the dim light in the early morning, Qingming looked at the Hidden Rock Ninjas who retreated in an orderly manner below, knowing that this battle was far from over.

It was obvious that the entire Hidden Rock Village army went out last night to take them down in one go.

Unfortunately, the appearance of Minato Namikaze broke their fantasy.

Now, after several hours of fierce fighting in the second half of the night, they have recognized the reality and know that the goal cannot be achieved.

So, they chose to retreat.

It can be predicted that there will be no such large-scale attacks in the future.

As long as the Hidden Rock Village does not want to destroy them in one go, then for the ninjas, the attack in the form of a small team is far more effective than the large army pressing in one go.

But there is no doubt that this is not good for Qingming to obtain chakra.

Because in this way, the proportion of jonin in the Rock Ninja team will increase rapidly. Although it will not pose a great threat to him, it is unlikely that he can succeed as easily as he did last night.

However, this will not have much impact on the promotion of the "Palm Immortal Technique".

A mere 130,000 chakra points.

Even if there is no additional chakra supplement, relying on his own recovery ability, it will take at most more than three days to accumulate enough, and there is no need to worry about delaying too long.

As for the future, we have to take it one step at a time.

After observing for a while, Qingming retracted his sight, then jumped down from the treetop and returned to the camp.

After handing over the work of counting the losses to other jonin, Qingming went straight to the place where the wounded were placed.

Then he began to use his medical ninjutsu to treat these people, and brushed the proficiency of the "Palm Immortal Technique".

A morning passed quickly.

Although the Rock Village had retreated, Konoha still did not relax at all. Everyone was extremely vigilant and ready to deal with the next battle at any time.

Facts have proved that their vigilance was not wrong.

Just after the morning, the Hidden Rock Village launched another attack.

The opponent's choice was similar to what Qingming expected. They indeed formed small teams and launched an attack on the Fengliu Town stronghold.

Seeing this, Konoha did not choose to retreat, but also sent out small teams to fight with the Hidden Rock Ninja.

This time, the entire battlefield expanded to a radius of five kilometers, with battles everywhere, and the scene was quite tragic.

The Hidden Rock Village has more people, so they can often form a situation where they are outnumbered. However, although Konoha has fewer people, its average combat power exceeds that of the Hidden Rock Ninja.

Therefore, even if they are outnumbered, they can often achieve similar results.

In this way, the battle situation is deadlocked here.

Now, they can only fight to see which side can't hold on first.

······

In a flash, several hours passed.

It was approaching dusk.

The battle finally subsided gradually, and the ninjas on both sides returned to their base camp exhausted and began to take time to rest.

On the high mountains in the west, Qingming also experienced several fierce battles, but unfortunately he didn't get much chakra.

As for the reason

First, his body can only accommodate a limited amount of chakra.

And the battles were too frequent, so he had no time to digest those chakras, so naturally he couldn't get more.

The second reason was that the Hidden Rock Village deliberately targeted him.

The other party seemed to have known that he could absorb other people's chakra, so when fighting, they would pay special attention to this point.

Once they found that he was absorbing chakra, they would immediately kill the captured Iwagakure ninja, or use powerful ninjutsu to interrupt his action.

In short, they would not let him get chakra comfortably.

This made Qingming sick.

The key is that he couldn't do anything to the other party.

Because the jonin he faced at least appeared in pairs.

In this case, if he didn't use his full strength, he couldn't easily kill the other party.

And if he used his full strength, it would attract the support of the nearby Iwagakure jonin, and he still couldn't kill.

In short, it was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his own strength was strong enough, and he didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he just spent time like this.

By the way, he could also brush up his proficiency in "swordsmanship".
