Chapter 44: Full fire

Swish, swish, swish~

The shuriken cut through the air, making a slight sound, and was about to hit Shiraishi Cangdou, who suddenly woke up.

It must be said that as a special jonin who is good at close combat, Shiraishi Cangdou's combat literacy is really high.

The moment he woke up, he made the most correct choice, dodging and blocking, blocking most of the shurikens.

Only his left arm was scratched.

However, Shiraishi Cangdou didn't take this injury to heart.

He was now staring straight at Qingming, with shock in his eyes.

Looking at the blood-like pupils, Shiraishi Cangdou was both excited and afraid.

Excited because there was a high reward for Sharingan in the black market and in the village.

As long as he killed Qingming and handed over his body, he could get a large sum of money immediately.

Ninjas are not saints who have no desires or demands. Few people would not be tempted by such a large sum of money.

Moreover, killing such a genius also filled Shiraishi Cangdou with an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

As for fear,

that was naturally the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

One-on-one, you must flee, two-on-one, attack from behind, this sentence is not a joke.

Unfortunately, he is now facing a one-on-one situation.

Therefore, Shiraishi Cangdou has an instinctive sense of fear.

However, when he saw Qingming's young and tender face, the fear in his heart unconsciously subsided a little.

What's more.

Shiraishi Cangdou's eyes moved down, and the hideous scar on Qingming's chest was clearly visible.

Although the wound had been charred by the high temperature of the lightning strike and no longer bled, Qingming was actually hurt.

This made Shiraishi Cangdou more confident.

While Shiraishi Cangdou was observing Qingming, Qingming was also observing him.

He had to admit that he made a mistake this time. He had never expected that the other party would develop a second chakra attribute.

When he fought with the Iwagakure Genin before, he also took the time to observe the fight between the Jonin. Although he didn't pay much attention to Shiraishi Cangdou, he remembered the scene of him performing earth escape.

So, he instinctively thought that the opponent's chakra attribute was earth, and he didn't consider the possibility that the opponent would perform other types of ninjutsu.

Although he knew that when a ninja reached the level of Jonin, he would start to develop the second attribute.

However, subconsciously, he didn't think that the special Jonin was a real Jonin, but just regarded it as an enhanced version of Chunin.

So, he ignored this possibility and suffered a big loss.

However, it was also his bad luck. Shiraishi Cangdou hid the lightning attribute chakra, most likely to sneak up on the Jonin on their side.

As a result, he accidentally killed the middle and lower ninjas, attracted the opponent's targeting, and then he took the blame for several Jonin.

This also made Qingming understand a truth, that is, before the strength reaches a certain level, you must not waste it.

Otherwise, any small mistake may lose your life.

Feeling that the numbness in his body had mostly disappeared, Qingming no longer wasted time and immediately raised his hands to seal.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Cangdou immediately looked away.

He knew the danger of the Sharingan very well, so he didn't dare to look at Qingming when he was sealing, for fear of being hit by an illusion.

Unfortunately, Qingming's illusion level was too low now, and the Sharingan's evolution was not high, so he couldn't do what Uchiha Itachi did later, and he could cast illusions with just a raise of his hands and feet.

Otherwise, Shiraishi Cangdou's reckless look at him just now would be a suicidal act.

······

'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique~'

As soon as Shiraishi Cangdou looked away, a huge fireball flew towards him.

Shiraishi Cangdou didn't dare to resist it, and quickly dodged to the side.

However, before he could stand firm, a kunai shot from the front.

Shiraishi Cangdou wanted to swing his sword to block, but when he saw the detonating talisman burning on the kunai, his face changed immediately and he jumped straight back.

Boom~

The detonating talisman exploded, but failed to hurt Shiraishi Cangdou.

Qingming was relentless and directly used a ‘flash body technique’ to come to another tree, then quickly completed the seal and performed the ‘Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique’.

The magatama in Qingming’s blood-red pupils spun rapidly, and the insight of the Sharingan was pushed to the limit by him.

Groups of flames like Phoenix seeds flew out of his mouth, as if they were equipped with navigation, and each one accurately hit the place where Shiraishi Cangdou was about to land, forcing him to be in a mess.

However, Shiraishi Cangdou lived up to his reputation as a special jonin. He was targeted by Qingming like this, but he didn’t suffer too serious injuries.

If it were the previous Iwagakure Chunin, even if he didn’t die, he would have to lose a layer of skin.

Unlike the current Shiraishi Cangdou, who only had some more marks of being burned by the flames.

"Ahem~"

Shiraishi Cangdou coughed twice, resisting the burning sensation on his body, and looked towards Qingming's position, muttering: "Is it over?"

"Over? Hehe~"

Qingming sneered, appeared on another big tree, formed a seal again, and performed ninjutsu.

'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique~'

A dozen or hundreds of flames were spit out by Qingming, like tracking missiles, hitting Shiraishi Cangdou.

At this moment, Qingming was like a fool, not caring about the consumption of chakra at all, just wanting to use ninjutsu to kill the opponent.

After several times in a row, Shiraishi Cangdou could no longer bear it and launched a counterattack.

It’s not that Shiraishi Cangdou didn’t have the patience to fight with Qingming, but as time went on, his dodging moves were gradually seen through by Qingming.

This caused him to be under increasing pressure.

Shiraishi Cangdou was afraid that if he continued like this, he would lose the opportunity to fight back.

So, after dodging Qingming’s attack again, he walked out from behind the tree and cast the ‘Flash Body Technique’, approaching Qingming at a very fast speed without waiting for Qingming to attack again.

Perhaps before opening the Sharingan, the opponent’s move could catch him off guard.

But now

Before the opponent approached, Qingming had already cast the ‘Flash Body Technique’ and distanced himself from him.

Shiraishi Cangdou wanted to continue chasing, but three kunai suddenly shot over and accurately stuck in his pursuit, making him very uncomfortable.

‘Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique~’

After using the kunai to stop the opponent’s approaching steps, Qingming cast this technique again.

Seeing the familiar fireball reappear, Shiraishi Cangdou hurriedly stopped, concentrated his mind, and prepared to dodge.

But at this moment, several red-burned shurikens suddenly flew out of the flames and attacked his vital parts first.

Shiraishi Cangdou was caught off guard, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly swung his sword to block.

However, all the shurikens were blocked, but there was no time to dodge the flames created by the "Phoenix Fire Technique".

Boom~

A ball of fire hit him and knocked him flying backwards.

"Cough cough cough~"

Shiraishi Cangdou covered his charred chest and coughed violently.

During this period, he struggled to stand up, but failed after trying several times.
