Chapter 68: Sudden Stop

After dodging several attacks in succession, Qingming turned his palm, took out a kunai from his ninja bag, and fought with Obara Hide.

The kunai from both sides clashed, making a series of "ding-ding" sounds.

However, Obara Shuji's combat experience was obviously greater than Qing Ming's. In just a moment, Qing Ming had several more scars on his body.

Stab~

Glancing at the new wounds on his arms, Qing Ming used fierce force to deflect Obara Shuji's attack.

Then, he took half a step back, threw the kunai in his hand, and at the same time drew out the dagger at his waist.

Compared to kunai, daggers are undoubtedly more handy for him.

Obara Shuji turned his head to avoid the kunai thrown by Qingming. Seeing him pull out his dagger, he smiled disdainfully and rushed forward again.

Ding~

Ding ding ding~

The more rapid sounds of gold and iron clashing sounded, indicating an even more intense battle.

Qing Ming originally thought that after using the 'Konoha Style Swordsmanship', not to mention defeating the opponent, at least he could compete with him.

Unexpectedly, in just two or three minutes, he fell into a disadvantage.

When it comes to weapons clashes, there has always been a saying that "one inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous."

Compared to Obara Shuji's kunai, his short sword undoubtedly had an advantage in attack distance, but he was unable to fully utilize this advantage.

On the contrary, Obara Shuji's attack allowed him to truly see what "danger" is. In this small space, the opponent's attack and defense transition is so smooth.

At first, he was able to cope with it reluctantly, but as time went by, he became passively defensive.

Qing Ming had only briefly experienced this feeling of having his skills crushed by Furukawa.

However, it was training at that time, and although Qing Ming was not his opponent, he didn't feel much pressure.

It was different now. Under the battle of life and death, he finally saw the true fighting power of Jonin.

Qingming even had a vague feeling that Shuji Obara might have surpassed Furukawa in terms of melee combat ability.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent had rich experience fighting Uchiha ninjas, he tried to use Sharingan to counterattack many times, but failed.

At this time, Qingming also discovered his own problem, which was that in order to hide the Sharingan, he was too unfamiliar with the use of the Sharingan and did not understand many techniques at all.

In this way, it's okay to bully middle genin who have never seen the world, but if you deal with an experienced jounin, it will be a bit "clawless".

‘Sure enough, only practice can produce true knowledge! ’

This battle made Qing Ming realize his own shortcomings and pointed out the direction for his future improvement.

Now, Qing Ming no longer thinks about how to kill the opponent, because he simply can't do it.

Now, he just wants to learn more fighting skills from his opponent, and by the way, he can brush up on his proficiency in the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' and the Sharingan.

As for revenge

When his strength improves, there will always be a chance.

Qing Ming is not a person who overestimates his capabilities.

Time passed minute by minute, and just as Qing Ming was immersed in the battle, several sharp whistles suddenly sounded throughout the audience.

‘This is the signal that the mission has been completed! ’

Qing Ming was awakened by the whistle, and this idea immediately came to his mind.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he suddenly opened the distance between him and Obara Shuji at the cost of injury.

Then, he used the 'Instant Technique' and approached the nearest Jounin of Konoha at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, other Konoha ninjas also moved closer to the surrounding Jonin.

Afterwards, before all the rock ninjas could react, they all gathered in one direction, led by these jounin.

During this period, some Iwa ninjas also tried to block it.

But Konoha was well prepared, and the manpower gathered very quickly, creating a short-lived situation in which more people beat fewer people, and there were jounin in charge.

Therefore, the Iwa ninjas could not stop him at all.

By the time the leader Huangtu reorganized his team, all the Konoha ninjas had left the battlefield.

But Huangtu didn't want to give up.

Judging from the reactions of everyone in Konoha, one knew that they had achieved their goal.

And their purpose, needless to say, is to block.

But now, the other party is about to evacuate, and what this means is self-evident.

Huang Tu judged that it was probably too late to carry out the support mission now, so he simply issued an order to continue the pursuit.

However, not long after they pursued them, they discovered that there was another group of people in Konoha's team ahead.

These people were none other than the surviving Konoha ninjas from the battlefield in the river valley.

In this way, Konoha's team has grown again and is more confident.

On the contrary, Huang Tu did not dare to pursue him too close, for fear of encountering an ambush and counterattack.

But equally, they cannot give up the pursuit.

After all, this is the defense area of ​​Iwagakure Village. Even if it is a gift, they have to watch the Konoha ninja leave and cannot let them run around.

In this way, with the tacit understanding between the two parties, the Konoha ninja gradually moved away from the river valley corridor.

About an hour and a half later, we met up with the three teams involved in the attack. Another half hour later, another team responsible for blocking the attack also rushed over.

At this point, Iwa Ninja completely gave up his unrealistic fantasies.

They had already lost this confrontation, and they had to admit defeat, so they could only follow Qing Ming and others from a distance and watch them leave.

Of course, Qing Ming and others did not dare to stay longer. After all, they were in the enemy's hinterland. If they were surrounded, they would be in big trouble.

Therefore, they left the control area of ​​Yanyin Village almost as quickly as possible.

······

the next day.

morning.

After more than ten hours of rapid march, Qingming and others finally returned to their own territory.

In the front-line stronghold closest to the Rock Ninja, hundreds of Konoha ninjas were lying in a mess, and almost everyone was injured.

The medical ninjas who had arrived long ago walked through them and treated these people.

Qingming glanced at the surviving ninjas around him, and the number was about half of that when they set out.

Now, he finally knew why the Ninja World War could not last long.

With such a death rate, how could it last too long?

Fortunately, there were not many such actions, otherwise it would not take long for all the ninjas to be killed.

Shaking his head, Qingming stopped thinking about it, and turned to perform the "Healing Technique" to heal himself while thinking about his future training plan.

First of all, the number of times the "Reflection Heart Technique" was practiced could be reduced appropriately.

His Sharingan had been exposed, so there was no need to continue hiding it. He could open it for a long time in the future and use the method of killing time to increase his proficiency.

In this way, some chakra could be saved.

And these chakras can be used to improve the 'Magic·Jag-hang Technique'.

Secondly, the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' needs to be further improved, and Qingming doesn't want to experience the feeling of powerlessness of being crushed by skills again.

Finally, it is the use of the Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Qingming pondered for a moment, and finally murmured: "It seems that I have to contact the clan leaders as soon as possible."

That's right, he plans to start from the clan.

Although he can figure it out on his own, it is a waste of time and unnecessary.

After all, no matter how much he thinks, can he still compare with the thousand-year heritage of the Uchiha clan?

So, when it's time to speak, you have to speak.

I believe that after the clan knows that he has awakened the Sharingan, they will not be stingy in teaching him these knowledge.
