Chapter 328 Delay

Qing Ming calmed down and stopped thinking. He turned to look at the two Chunins of the Kaguya clan who were just helping Kaguya Kotaro attack him.

At this time, the two had not recovered from the sudden death of Kaguya Kotaro.

Compared with them, Kaguya Kotaro had a much higher status in the clan, was much stronger, and had experienced countless battles.

But such a person suddenly died in front of them, which made them feel unreal.

However, Qing Ming didn't care what they thought.

After locking the two people, he immediately launched the "Instant Sword Technique" and came to one of them in the blink of an eye.

Swish~

A flash of knife light passed by.

The Chunin of the Kaguya clan wanted to resist, but was directly controlled by Qing Ming's instant "Illusion·Sharingan".

Then, the long knife slashed across the opponent's throat, taking his life in an instant.

Seeing his companion dead, another Chunin of the Kaguya clan reacted and instinctively turned to run away.

However, before he could run two steps, a long sword pierced his body.

Spots of scarlet dripped, and a severe pain came. The Chunin of the Kaguya clan looked down and saw a piece of the knife tip piercing through his body.

"Am I going to die?"

The Chunin of the Kaguya clan murmured.

The next moment, a strong suction force came from his back.

In an instant, the chakra in his body was like a dam bursting, rushing out, and without the support of chakra, his life breath began to weaken rapidly.

In just a few seconds, he completely lost his life.

Qingming retracted his palm and muttered: "Not bad, it's back!"

Just now, he used up a lot of chakra when he performed the 'Wind Style·Rasenshuriken'. Now he has a chance to replenish it, so he will naturally not miss it.

Squeak~

Qingming pulled out his long sword and let the body of the Hyuga clan Chunin fall to the ground.

Shaking off the blood on the long sword, Qingming looked around and saw that all the Mist Ninjas were hiding far away, and no one dared to approach here.

Before, they did this perhaps because they were worried that the fight between him and Hyuga Kotaro would affect them.

Now.

After seeing his strength, they simply didn't dare to come over.

However, their not coming over didn't mean that Qingming wouldn't cause trouble for them.

Just when Qingming was looking for the next target, a mental force suddenly broke into his mind, followed by a voice.

'This familiar feeling and process is the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan - the art of communicating with the mind! '

Qingming felt that after a few more times, he could figure out a similar secret technique by himself.

This is not because he is talented enough, but because his foundation is too high.

With his current 19-point "spiritual" attribute, it is really not too easy to learn such a mental secret technique.

However, Qingming was not in a hurry, just let it go.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming quickly concentrated and listened to the other party's words.

Then a relatively young voice said: "Qingming Jonin, the situation on the east side of the defense line is a bit critical. The captain asked you to bring people to support immediately."

In order to facilitate going to sea and to better deal with the invasion of the Hidden Mist Village, the forward base established by Konoha in the Land of Waves is located on the southeast coast.

The base is not large, and the defense line is not long.

But it is also divided into three sections, namely the east and south defense lines located on the two wings of the base, and the southeast defense line located in the front.

Among them, the south defense line has the least pressure because it does not face the Land of Water.

The southeast defense line is sandwiched between the east and south defense lines, and the pressure is also not great.

Only the east defense line, because it faces the Land of Water, the first stop of the Hidden Mist Village invasion is basically in that direction.

So, the pressure is the greatest.

No, this time the landing site of the Hidden Mist Village is there.

Now, it was that line of defense that had a problem.

Just as Qingming was thinking, the voice in his mind sounded again.

"In addition, Qingming, the Mist Ninjas such as Terumi Mei and Ao who you defeated before have returned. Judging from the direction they are heading, they seem to be planning to join the Eastern Front. Be careful!"

"Terumi Mei and Ao?"

Qingming murmured, and then replied in his mind: "Well, I know everything. Is there anything else?"

"No."

The ninja of the Yamanaka clan replied.

Hearing this, Qingming directly dispelled the mental power.

Then, without staying, he immediately called the twenty or so Konoha ninjas nearby and rushed to the battlefield on the other side of the base with him.

That's right, the location where they returned to the base was the southern battlefield farthest from the Eastern Front, and it was also the area where the Hidden Mist Village feinted.

It was precisely because of this that their whereabouts were not exposed.

However, this also indirectly shows that the combat power of the Hidden Mist Village this time was very strong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have deployed a master like Kaguya Kotaro in this unimportant direction.

If the feint attack direction is like this, what about the main attack on the eastern front?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the eastern defense line, which is the focus of the base's defense, is in danger.

As for Mei Terumi and Aoki.

To be honest, Aoki doesn't care much.

Let's not talk about Aoki.

He has been seriously injured by him, and it will take a while for him to recover to his full state. His strength has declined greatly, so there is nothing to worry about.

Mei Terumi.

Her melting escape and boiling escape are indeed very strong, but because of this, there is no need to worry.

Because these two ninjutsu are more suitable for large-scale attacks, especially the latter, which can spread over a large area.

In this chaotic battlefield, it can't exert its full power at all.

Just like near the No. 3 sentry tower, even with a vast sea as a buffer, Terumi Mei did not dare to use this technique recklessly, for fear of accidentally hurting her own people.

In this case, let alone in this relatively dense land battlefield, she may be even more restrained.

What is there to be afraid of such a ninja?

It is really a trouble if other senior ninjas

join hands to deal with him together.

Qingming doesn't want to risk using the Mangekyō Sharingan there again.

Therefore, after this time, he can't be too high-profile, just hold back a few senior ninjas.

The reason why the eastern defense line is in a hurry is because of the lack of high-end combat power.

As long as he can hold back some senior ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, then the current strength of Konoha in the forward base is enough to hold it.

In this way, when the support of the border troops in the rear arrives, the crisis will naturally be resolved.

Even without their arrival, the Mist Ninja will retreat on their own.

After all, if they delay too long, they will also worry about being chased by Konoha.

Indeed, Konoha's warships are not as advanced as those of the Hidden Mist Village, but it is not a problem to catch up with them in a short distance.

Fighting at sea is not like fighting on land. Once the warship they are on is destroyed, they can only fight with Konoha ninjas to the end.

And this side is closer to the Land of Fire, and Konoha's support will definitely arrive faster. They will never dare to fight a decisive battle here.

Therefore, as long as they show the strength to defend the base and let the Mist Ninja know that this place is not so easy to break, they will naturally retreat.

In other words, he only needs to delay time.

After thinking about this clearly, Qingming's pace couldn't help but speed up a bit.
