Chapter 35 Retreat

Swoosh~

A kunai shot from behind.

Qingming seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and his body slightly tilted to avoid the sneak attack.

Turning back to look at the direction of the kunai attack, he saw that a Iwagakure Chunin gave up the two Konoha Genin who were being beaten by him and rushed straight towards this side.

Not only him, but another Iwagakure Ninja also gave up his opponent and leaned towards this side.

Obviously, these two people were going to join forces to deal with him.

Qingming had expected this.

When the middle-aged Iwagakure Ninja attacked him before, he knew that he had entered the field of vision of these Iwagakure Ninjas, and it was only a matter of time before he was targeted.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he would take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Qingming chose to kill Ichiro Ishii quickly.

In order to interrupt the rhythm of these people.

Just like now, once Ichiro Ishii died, the two people in front of him had to give up their goals and focus their energy on him.

In this way, Qingming seems to have become a shield for these Konoha Genin, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that the risk he bears has not increased.

In fact, overall, it is even smaller.

Because according to the opponent's rhythm, after these two people kill the target in their hands, they are likely to besiege him together with Ishii Ichiro.

Now that Ishii Ichiro is dead, the number of people besieging him has dropped from three to two, and the danger is greatly reduced.

At the same time, whether the surviving Konoha Genin are willing or not, they will attract the attention of other nearby Rock Ninjas, thereby reducing the number of potential opponents for him.

In this way, as long as he masters the rhythm, he will not have to face more enemies in a short time.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming no longer wasted time. He immediately took out his kunai and ran towards the two people opposite.

Seeing Qingming rushing straight, the two Rock Ninjas didn't waste any words. After looking at each other, they also rushed towards Qingming, obviously intending to fight him in close combat.

Generally speaking, as long as they are not genius-level ninjas, the chakra in their bodies is very limited.

Therefore, when fighting, ninjutsu is usually not frequently used, especially in such a chaotic battlefield.

Because no one knows whether an enemy will appear after the chakra is exhausted and kill him.

Therefore, every ninja is a master of careful calculation.

Admittedly, Qingming showed good close combat ability when fighting with Ichiro Ishii just now, but that was a one-on-one fight after all.

Now, these two rock ninjas join forces, and they don’t think Qingming will be their opponent.

So, when they saw Qingming close the distance and prepare for close combat, they did not choose to avoid it, but took the challenge on the spot.

Even, they were a little relieved in their hearts.

After all, the process of Qingming using ninjutsu to kill Ichiro Ishii just now was still vivid in their minds. Although they didn’t say it, they were still a little afraid in their hearts.

Now, Qingming chose close combat, which just suited their wishes.

They didn’t believe it. Could Qingming fight two people alone?

The fact was just as they expected.

Even though he had perfected the 'Basic Physical Technique' to level 3, mastered all the skills, and gained some practical experience from Ichiro Ishii, Qingming still couldn't fight two enemies alone.

Therefore, in just a short time, he had several more scars on his body.

Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries and would not affect his combat effectiveness for the time being.

Ding~Ding~

Qingming waved the kunai in his hand and blocked the attacks of the two rock ninjas one after another, then took a step back and briefly opened up the distance.

The two rock ninjas did not chase immediately, but stood on the left and right, slowly approaching from both sides.

During this period, they did not forget to use psychological tactics to affect Qingming's fighting will.

"Boy, don't struggle, you can't beat us, put down your weapons and surrender now, maybe we can spare your life." One of them said.

"Yes, boy, do you see anyone around who can help you? Surrender now to avoid physical pain." Another person echoed.

Hearing this, Qingming glanced at the battlefield with his peripheral vision.

Indeed, now everyone nearby is fighting, and no one can help him, not even Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.

At this time, they are fighting with a young rock ninja, and there is a Konoha Genin beside them to assist.

Three to one, although the situation is not very optimistic, there will be no danger to life for a while.

After confirming this, Qingming quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he focused on the two people in front of him.

Indeed, one against two, without opening the Sharingan, he is not the opponent of the two with melee ability.

But at the same time, it is unlikely that these two people want to kill him easily.

So, the situation is deadlocked here.

And this is exactly what he needs.

As long as this situation can be maintained, Qingming is not in a hurry at all.

Anyway, time is on his side. As long as the reinforcements arrive, the crisis will naturally be resolved. There is no need to fight to the death with the two opponents.

Thinking of this, Qingming's mentality is more stable.

Seeing that Qingming was not affected by their words at all, the two rock ninjas simply stopped wasting words and rushed towards him again.

Ding-ding-dang-dang~

The ear-piercing sound of metal collisions rang out one after another.

Qingming's perception was fully activated, and he was only slightly at a disadvantage in a one-on-two battle.

The battle lasted for one or two minutes.

Finally, a rock ninja couldn't help it anymore, and after making a gesture to his teammates, he suddenly pulled away, as if preparing to perform some ninjutsu.

Seeing this, Qingming secretly said, "Not good!"

Although he knew that the two would not allow him to delay like this, it was still beyond his expectation that they would change their tactics now.

He thought that he could delay for a few minutes, but he was still caught off guard when he lost his patience in such a short time.

Qingming was about to distance himself, but the only remaining Rock Ninja in front of him suddenly stepped up his attack, making it impossible for him to withdraw for a while.

The situation was critical, and Qingming thought to himself: "Should I use the Sharingan?"

In the case of intentional calculation, Qingming had enough confidence to kill the Rock Ninja in front of him with one blow, but he was not sure if he could hide it from another Rock Ninja.

If the Sharingan was exposed, not to mention the subsequent troubles, there would probably be a bunch of Rock Ninjas coming to besiege him.

After all, every Uchiha ninja who opened the Sharingan was a potential stock. If he could kill it, the credit would definitely be great.

Moreover, the Sharingan was not guarded by a caged bird, and the Hidden Rock Village did not mind snatching one for research.

Of course, Qingming would not necessarily be in trouble if he did not use the Sharingan, but this feeling of losing control of the situation made Qingming feel very insecure.

Just as Qingming was struggling, several piercing whistles of varying lengths suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

Hearing the whistle, the Rock Ninja, who was still attacking frantically, suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked at the Rock Ninja who retreated to the back.

Then the two of them formed seals together, performed some kind of earth escape ninjutsu, and rushed to the periphery of the battlefield together.

"Is this... retreat?!"

Qingming was both surprised and happy. If the other party retreated, he would not have to worry about it.
