Chapter 313: Tangled

With this thought, Qingming mobilized a large amount of wind escape chakra, injected it into the long sword, and wrapped his whole body.

Then, a glimmer of green light appeared.

In an instant, Qingming performed the "Instant Sword Technique".

Yes, it was the "Instant Sword Technique"!

Before, after he developed the "Instant Sword Technique", he had not used it many times because the short sword was damaged and he could not perform it.

Now, he finally had a good weapon, and he would naturally not throw it away.

So, he saw that his body suddenly turned into a residual image and came to the nearest water-attribute masked monster who was about to launch a sneak attack on him.

Swish~

A flash of knife light passed by.

The long sword in Qingming's hand slashed directly at the monster's mask part.

This is its vital point. As long as it can be destroyed, it can be killed, and thus Kakuzu will lose his life.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned!

At this critical moment, the black tentacles that made up the monster's body suddenly stretched out, entangled with each other, and formed a flesh wall, blocking his knife.

Chi~

A clear sense of obstruction came.

Qingming felt that his knife was like cutting on rubber, and it was difficult to bear the force.

And at this moment, a "crack" sound came, and the lightning-attributed masked monster flew to his side and spit out a lightning bolt at him.

Qingming reacted quickly and pulled away before the lightning reached him.

Not only that, he also completed the seal and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style·Wind Blade!

Whoosh~

A transparent wind blade flew out quickly, aiming directly at the lightning-attributed masked monster.

However, just like before, it evaded the attack with a clever dance.

Kakuzu in the distance was also unceremonious. He changed his hand seal and immediately controlled another masked monster to perform the ninjutsu - Fire Style·Head Hard Work!

A small fireball was spit out by the masked monster. The moment it landed, it turned into a raging flame and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Its power is incomparable to the previous one!

Qingming hurriedly retreated until he retreated a long way, then he formed a seal and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Array Wall.

Suddenly, a water wall appeared, blocking the subsequent rolling heat waves and some tail flames.

I have to admit that it is not easy for him to defeat these four monsters without using the Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, under normal circumstances, in addition to the ninjutsu of the three attributes of water, fire, and wind, his most powerful means are nothing more than swordsmanship and illusion.

Among them, swordsmanship is not bad against ordinary ninjas, who are all fragile skins with high attack and low defense. As long as they are hit, they can basically cause damage.

But these monsters are different. Their only weakness is the mask on their heads. Even if other places are cut, it is not a big deal.

In this case, they only need to defend a little bit. When necessary, they can also use tentacles to block like the water-attributed masked monster.

In this way, most of his swordsmanship is useless.

And illusion

These monsters are all controlled by Kakuzu, and they have no brains at all, so how can illusions affect them?

As for ninjutsu

Not to mention that he doesn't know many ninjutsu, there are not many that can be used now. The attribute restraint alone can reduce the power of his ninjutsu by half.

Combining the above three points, it can be seen that under normal conditions, he is almost completely suppressed by the opponent, unless he can directly attack Kakuzu's body.

Otherwise, he can only waste time and look for the opponent's flaws.

But looking at what Kakuzu did, he didn't give him a chance to get close.

When fighting just now, he didn't try to get close to the opponent, but he was blocked back by the four masked monsters controlled by him.

What's more, after getting close to the opponent, how to hurt the opponent is also a problem.

The heart attribute of his body is earth, and he can instantly perform the ninjutsu "Earth Style·Earth Spear", which makes ordinary physical attacks completely ineffective.

Among ninjutsu attacks, only Lightning Style can pose a greater threat to him.

But he doesn't know Lightning Style at all!

In this case, he can only use other means.

But with the opponent's reaction speed, it is estimated that there is a 50% probability that he can dodge.

After all, the current Kakuzu is not the Kakuzu that Naruto and others faced later. After guessing that he knew his own information, he has been avoiding a head-on confrontation with him.

With such a cautious attitude, saying that there is a 50% probability is a bit of an underestimation of the opponent.

Qingming now regrets that he showed that he knew him too well at the beginning of the battle.

Otherwise, the current situation might be better.

In the final analysis, he was still influenced by the memory of his previous life and felt that Kakuzu's strength was just so-so.

But after the real fight, he realized that the opponent's strength was far from being as unbearable as shown in his memory.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if the opponent's performance in the fight with Naruto and others is not considered weak among the Kage-level masters.

Even though he was ambushed by Kakashi at the beginning and lost his water attribute mask.

Then, he was plotted by Nara Shikamaru and destroyed his earth attribute heart with the help of Hidan, losing the advantage of complementary attributes.

But in the end, it was because of carelessness that Naruto took advantage of it and solved the battle with a "Wind Style Rasenshuriken".

Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

And now, Qingming is dealing with Kakuzu who is in full power and alert.

The difficulty can be imagined.

It can be said that if he does not open the Mangekyō Sharingan, he alone is basically unlikely to be the opponent of the opponent.

But to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, Qingming still has some concerns, that is, whether he can kill the opponent in one go.

If he can't kill it and let it escape, it will be a big trouble.

As a ninja who has lived from the Warring States period to the present, he must know some secrets about the Sharingan.

He has even seen the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In this way, if he rashly uses the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is likely to be recognized by the opponent.

At that time, once the opponent escapes, his relevant information will inevitably be leaked, which he absolutely does not want to see.

Just when Qingming was struggling, Kakuzu had already controlled four masked monsters to chase him, and various ninjutsu took turns to fight, continuously putting pressure on him.

Qingming shook his head, temporarily put all kinds of distractions behind his mind, and began to concentrate on dealing with the attacks of these masked monsters.

At the same time, he tried to rush in front of Kakuzu, imitated Naruto, and performed the "Wind Style·Rasenshuriken" to kill him with one blow.

Kakuzu said he had five lives, but if he was really hit by the ‘Wind Style Rasenshuriken’, it would be useless even if he replaced his heart.

The reason is that the fine chakra needles condensed by the ‘Wind Style Rasenshuriken’ would destroy the opponent’s body at the cellular level.

By then, even if he was still alive, he would not be able to mobilize chakra, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Coincidentally, after practicing for this period of time, his ‘Wind Style Rasenshuriken’ has been promoted from lv1 (100/200) to lv3 (174/1000)!

With such proficiency, he is already useful.
