Chapter 242: Each one's own battle

Zizizizi~

Water escape and lava escape collided, producing a large amount of white mist.

The edge of the battlefield.

Qingming used his full strength to activate the Sharingan, and his sight passed through the white mist, watching the battle between Gamabunta and Lao Zi in the field, his thoughts racing.

In terms of power, pure water escape is definitely not as good as lava escape, and in terms of chakra, Gamabunta is not as good as Lao Zi plus the four-tailed.

However, Gamabunta, who was born in Myoboku Mountain, has a large amount of senjutsu chakra in his body.

As we all know, senjutsu chakra can increase the power of ninjutsu.

Therefore, under its blessing, the power of water escape performed by Gamabunta is not weaker than the lava escape ninjutsu performed by Lao Zi.

As for the difference in chakra, this is not very critical.

Why do you say that?

First of all, Lao Zi is only half-tailed beast now, and cannot use all the chakra of the four-tailed, which means that he is destined to not be able to occupy an overwhelming advantage.

Secondly, Gamabunta is more flexible and can often dodge Lao Zi's attacks by jumping, consuming less chakra.

Finally, and most importantly, there is a Minato Namikaze next to him, and it is impossible for Lao Zi to delay until Gamabunta's chakra is exhausted.

So, on the whole, as long as Gamabunta can withstand Lao Zi's frontal attack, Lao Zi will definitely lose unless he is completely transformed into a tailed beast.

To put it another way, even if Lao Zi is completely transformed into a tailed beast, he may not be the opponent of Gamabunta and Namikaze Minato.

Let alone Gamabunta's original qualification to fight with the tailed beasts, Namikaze Minato himself has not yet shown his full strength.

At least, he still has a trick of "Sage Mode" that he has not used. Once the Sage Mode is turned on, with his strength, it is not a problem to face the four tails head-on.

In addition, he also has a sophisticated sealing technique, which is a powerful weapon against the tailed beasts.

So, there is no reason to lose.

And the development of things is similar to what Qingming expected. Under the joint attack of Gamabunta and Namikaze Minato, Lao Zi showed a decline not long after.

At first, he could still launch attacks continuously.

But as time went on, the frequency of his defense began to increase, and now it has almost accounted for half of the time.

If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.

Even if the Hidden Rock Village does not send people to rescue, he may become the first Jinchūriki captured by Konoha.

Thinking of this in his heart, a familiar mental force suddenly invaded Qingming's mind.

Then, a voice sounded: "Captain, there is a change in the Rock Ninjas, and they seem to be planning to surround you."

This voice was none other than Yamanaka Kiku who had contacted him at the beginning.

Hearing the other party's words, Qingming glanced around, and sure enough, there were more and more Rock Ninjas gathering at the edge of the battlefield, and there was a clear division.

There is no doubt that this is the prelude to the attack.

'No, we can't let them come. '

Considering the rescue measures that the Rock Ninjas might take, Qingming immediately made up his mind.

He ordered in his mind: "Kiku, you immediately organize people to clear out those Rock Ninjas on the periphery."

"This"

Yamanaka Kiku was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Qingming frowned and asked directly: "Any questions?"

Yamanogi was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "Captain, just now the Four-Tails Jinchuriki attacked the second line of defense, and we suffered heavy casualties, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Qingming interrupted: "Didn't I tell you not to fight head-on? Why didn't you listen?"

"Captain, it's not that we want to fight the other side head-on, but the other side is too fast, plus the other rock ninjas are blocking us, we can't retreat."

Yamanogi said helplessly.

Hearing this, Qingming was silent for a moment, no longer entangled in this issue, and asked: "How many of you are left now?"

"About 60%."

Yamanogi said a ratio, and then said: "But only about 30% can continue to fight, and the rest are seriously injured."

'In such a short period of time, the casualties exceeded half, no wonder you are so hesitant to speak! '

Qingming complained in his heart.

He glanced around, roughly estimated the number of Rock Ninjas, and then said directly: "Let the injured people stay where they are, and the rest of you follow the order immediately. I will assist you."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing Qingming say that he would take action, Yamanaka Kiku immediately replied loudly.

The name of the 'Ghost Sword' is not only famous among the Rock Ninjas, but also even more famous among the Konoha Ninjas.

So, after hearing that Qingming would personally take action, Yamanaka Kiku immediately had no worries.

The 'Heart-Connecting Technique' was disconnected, and Qingming finally glanced at the battle between Lao Zi, Namikaze Minato, and Gamabunta in the field.

Then, he turned and left.

As if he had discovered his movements, Namikaze Minato secretly glanced at him.

Then, he glanced at the Rock Ninjas that were gathering more and more around him, and then looked at the direction where Qingming left, and had already guessed what he was going to do.

So, he no longer paid too much attention.

······

At the same time.

On the other side.

Somewhere in the forest.

Nagashima Tomohisa asked a special jonin of Iwagakure beside him, "Are all the other directions ready?"

Hearing this, the special jonin of Iwagakure replied, "Several captains have just sent a message that they will all be in place within five minutes."

"Five minutes?"

Nagashima Tomohisa groaned, glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and said: "Then act in five minutes!"

"Okay, I'll notify the others now."

The Iwagakure Special Jonin responded and planned to leave.

But at this moment, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his right hand and tapped his temple, as if sensing something.

Nagashima Tomohisa noticed his abnormality, but did not speak in a hurry. He waited until he put his hand down before asking: "What happened?"

"The ninjas on the Konoha side have made unusual movements. They seem to be preparing to surround us. Now the troops are moving to the periphery."

The Iwagakure Special Jonin looked a little strange.

Hearing his words, Nagashima Tomohisa was also stunned and asked: "Do they have any support?"

"Nothing has been found yet."

The Iwagakure Special Jonin replied.

"Then why do they surround us?"

Nagashima Tomohisa asked in confusion.

"I don't know."

The Iwagakure Special Jonin replied.

For a moment, both of them were a little confused.

It's not their fault. It's really that Konoha's behavior is too illogical.

After the previous battle, they knew exactly how much combat power Konoha had left here, which was far less than theirs.

Now there was no support, and in this situation, they dared to disperse their forces to surround, which was simply courting death!

Wait!

Nagashima Tomohisa seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said to the Iwagakure Special Jonin next to him: "Quick! Check, is Uchiha Qingming still on the battlefield?"

Hearing this, the Iwagakure Special Jonin also seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he immediately cast a spell to sense.

However, after several breaths, he found nothing.

After a while, he put down his hand and said with an ugly look: "The other party disappeared, I can't sense his breath."
