Chapter 426: Well Prepared

Swish~

A pair of light blue chakra wings appeared from behind Qingming, and then, following his will, they gently flapped and sent him into the sky.

When he reached the sky, Qingming looked around and thought to himself: "The support team from Kirigakure will definitely not cross the main battlefield. Yamanaka Aoi didn't mention this, so the other party is likely to take a detour."

"And if they take a detour, the north is too far, only the south is more suitable."

With this thought, Qingming used the "heart-to-heart technique" to inform the five Konoha ninjas below of the current situation, asking them to resolve the battle as soon as possible and then prevent the enemy's surprise attack.

And he flew directly to the northeast, which is the direction of the coastline.

Originally, Qingming thought he would have to search for a while, but he didn't expect that he found the traces of Kirigakure before he flew far.

Or, they didn't think about hiding it at all, and the whole team was advancing rapidly in a defensive formation.

Qingming roughly scanned and confirmed that there were only three battalions, about 200 people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he heard that Kirigakure had sent out the reserve team, and was worried that the other side would send too many people at once.

Now it seems that he was overthinking.

Come to think of it, if Kirigakure's reserve team had several hundred people, they could have been deployed to the front battlefield early and completely broke through Konoha's defense line.

However, they did not do so, which means that the reserve team did not have this ability.

And two hundred people, for the front battlefield, are indeed not enough to be the last straw that crushes Konoha.

So, Kirigakure was right not to send them out casually.

Look, now they are using them.

A team of two hundred people may not be enough for the front battlefield.

But for them, they have to pay attention. If they are not careful, their exhausted army will be overwhelmed by the other side.

Just as Qingming was about to take a closer look at the other side's combat power composition, a figure in the crowd suddenly looked at him.

He was wearing a dark blue robe, and his right eye was covered by a black cloth. His features were very obvious, and Qingming recognized him at a glance. He was Qing, who was known as the "White Eye Killer".

Seeing him, Qingming licked his lips and muttered, "White Eyes that came to my door?"

Before, he had wanted to get a White Eye, and now seemed to be a good opportunity.

And just as he was thinking this, more people in the Mist Hidden Ninja team below looked at him.

The two sides, one in the sky and the other on the ground, formed a situation of mutual confrontation, and the team below also stopped.

Qingming did not approach rashly. Anyway, time was on his side. The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for him. He simply circled around the opponent and kept circling in the sky.

·······

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a few minutes, it was still the Mist Ninja below who lost his temper first.

Qing looked at the people around him, thought for a moment, and said, "Everyone, be ready to fight at any time, and then. Move forward!"

Hearing this, these Mist Ninjas tightened their kunai in their hands, and then, led by three Mist Hidden Ninjas, continued to rush forward.

That's right, among the Mist Ninjas who came to support this time, only the captain-level ninjas were jonins. Even if Qing was included, there were only four jonins in the team.

Moreover, among these four people, only two were real jonins, and the other two were special jonins.

Although these two special jonins are good at lurking and assassination, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary special jonins.

However, compared with the fully developed real jonins, they are still somewhat inferior.

In other words, the high-end combat power of the Mist Ninjas who came this time was very average.

At first, Qing Ming was a little surprised after confirming this, but he was relieved when he thought of the tragic frontal battlefield.

Although the Kirigakure Commander did not send this reserve force, the Jounin-level combat power in the team must not be left unused, and it is likely that they were withdrawn early.

It is probably because of this that there are so few Jounins in this team.

And this gave Qingming an opportunity.

Looking at the team below that was moving again, Qingming used the same trick again, trying to harass them again with the "wolf is coming" trick.

However, he encountered danger in just the first dive.

Looking at the dense kunai shot towards him, Qingming's face suddenly changed, and then he flew to the sky without thinking.

After returning to safety, he cast his cold eyes on the group of Kirigakure ninjas.

There was no other reason. In the previous attack, he saw a lot of kunai tempered with poison.

There was a dark purple light on it, and the fishy smell was emitted. Qingming just smelled it and felt a little dizzy.

From this, we can imagine how strong the toxins on it are.

If only one or two people were equipped with this poisonous kunai, it would be fine, but about half of the people had this kunai, so it can't be described as a coincidence.

Obviously, Kirigakure prepared this specifically for him.

In fact, it was true.

The reason why Qing took nearly half an hour to come to support was that he brought everything the village prepared to deal with Qingming.

Not only these poisonous kunai, but also various strange ninja tools, and several talents who are good at binding and sealing techniques, he brought them all.

Indeed, he was not sure to take down Qingming, and this was not his primary purpose, but this did not mean that he had no such idea.

So, when it is time to try, you still have to try.

Looking at Qingming who had dodged the attack of the poisonous kunai and flew back into the sky, Qing felt disappointed.

All the preparations he made would only work best the first time.

After that, no matter how skillful his technique was, he would not have much chance if he lost the element of surprise.

Fortunately, with these preparations, it was no problem to defend if the attack was insufficient.

Qing gathered his mood and ordered the team to move forward again.

Qingming followed behind them and hesitated for a while.

Those poisonous kunai were fine. With his current 19-point "physique" attribute, even if he was hit, his life would not be in danger for a while.

Moreover, he also had the lv8 "Palm Immortal Technique" and the lv5 "Small Injury Extraction Technique", which could be used to heal wounds and remove poison.

So, he was not too afraid.

But the key point was that he didn't know how many other arrangements the other party had against him?

It was undoubtedly very stupid to rush in without knowing the enemy's trump card.

However, he couldn't let the other party move forward.

At present, in the southern battlefield, although Konoha has taken the advantage because of his great power, it is far from the end.

Once these people join, not to mention solving the remaining enemies, even the remaining Konoha ninjas may suffer.

In this way, even if the support sent by Sano Nobuhisa arrives, it may not be able to stop the opponent.

Because there is no need to think about it, Sano Nobuhisa will definitely not be able to transfer too many people, and these people will definitely not be in full condition if they are drawn from the front battlefield.

In this case, facing the new force of Kirigakure, the chances of winning are really not great.

Therefore, it is still necessary to delay their pace as much as possible.

Only when the team of Konoha's second support and the Konoha ninjas who survived the battle just now meet up, can they really resist the attack of the Kirigakure ninjas.

With this thought, Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately attacked the Kirigakure ninjas below.

Indeed, he has not figured out the enemy's trump card.

However, with "Heaven's Guard" as the last resort, he does not need to be too afraid.
