Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 372 Retreat



Phew~

A flash of cold light flashed.

The 'Illusion Sword Technique' was displayed.

The Kirigakure jounin in front of him was distracted by the cold light on the blade, and he paused.

However, he was a Jonin who was good at illusions, so he reacted quickly and leaned back quickly.

The long knife passed by, and a few strands of hair fell down.

"Eh!"

Qing Ming let out a sigh, as if he didn't expect that he would get rid of the influence of the 'Illusion Sword Technique' so quickly.

But that's it.

With a thought in his mind, Qing Ming suddenly turned his wrist, and the long knife changed from a diagonal slash to an upward thrust, aiming directly at the opponent's carotid artery.

A strong sense of crisis emerged, and Hideo Mizuguchi felt a chill in his heart. He instinctively ducked back without thinking.

Stab~

The long knife slashed across his chest, leaving a deep scar. Scarlet blood instantly overflowed and soaked his clothes.

"Hmm~"

A muffled groan came from Mizuguchi Hideo's mouth.

However, he ignored the pain of the wound, opened his mouth, and released the ninjutsu he had prepared when dodging.

The next moment, a sound wave visible to the naked eye was emitted from his mouth, spreading around at an extremely fast speed.

As the person closest to him, Qing Ming was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

This time, although the sound wave emitted by the opponent was not an illusion, the effect was the same as an illusion.

The nerves in Qingming's ears were affected, and his balance could not be maintained, and his whole body became shaky in an instant.

Not only that, there was also a sharp pain in his internal organs, as if he had been hit by some invisible sledgehammer, making him feel sick and nauseous.

‘Resonance? ! ’

Suddenly, a word he learned as a student in his previous life popped up in Qing Ming's mind.

He couldn't remember exactly.

All we know is that everything seems to have its own frequency, and once other things have the same frequency as them, resonance will occur.

Generally speaking, resonance is harmful and will damage the object of resonance.

Just like now, his internal organs were injured by Mizuguchi Hideo's sonic resonance.

However, unlike the previous life where it could only be passively endured, as an extraordinary world, there are various ways to resist this kind of damage.

With a thought, the chakra in his body exploded, and an invisible power radiated from his body. Qing Ming instantly dispelled the sound waves that invaded his body.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of green light suddenly appeared, and the 'Instant Sword Technique' was used again. He took a step forward and came to Mizuguchi Hideo again.

At this time, the other party had just taken a few steps back and had not gone far.

Phew~

Another swing of the knife.

There was a faint cold light on the blade, and the 'Illusion Sword Technique' was about to be fired.

Hideo Mizuguchi looked nervous and didn't dare to look at him at all. At the same time, he didn't dare to look at the long knife he was attacking. He could only dodge based on his senses.

However, his physical skills were still inferior after all. After just a few blows, Qing Ming relied on his previous fighting experience to seize the opportunity and slashed his chest with one knife.

Different from the shallow scar last time, this time it can be said that the bone is deep and visible.

A large amount of blood gushes out, and the opponent's aura immediately weakens.

Upon seeing this, Qing Ming's chakra erupted from the soles of his feet, and his speed surged. In just an instant, he was at the opponent's side.

Then, the long knife in his hand was swung out, and the wind escape chakra on it flowed rapidly, turning into a sharp cold light.

The cold light streaked across the opponent's neck, leaving a thin trail of blood.

However, just such a trace of blood made Hideo Mizuguchi freeze in place.

He looked at Qing Ming and opened his mouth to say something, but just after spitting out "you", his head slipped from his neck.

The next moment, a large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, forming a blood fountain several meters high.

Qing Ming watched all this with an expressionless face, his eyes retracted from the other party's body, and turned to look at the other people around him.

Everything that happened just now sounds long, but actually happened in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the surrounding fog ninjas broke free from Mizuguchi Hideo's indiscriminate attack sonic illusion.

They looked at Mizuguchi Hideo's body and Qingming standing aside with a sword, their expressions were quite ugly.

"kill!"

Finally, under an unknown order, these people launched an attack.

Immediately, the fighting broke out again.

Qingming didn't give in at all. This chaotic battlefield was just perfect for his Sharingan and sword skills.

Gathering his mind, Qing Ming tried his best to recall the state he was in just now. It didn't take long for him to enter that kind of situation where he forgot both things and me again.

Immediately, the surrounding fog ninjas saw that terrifying scene again.

Qing Ming killed each one with one knife, and the heads were rolling.

During this period, there were naturally some mist ninjas who tried to use ninjutsu or illusions for sneak attacks, but he was keenly aware of them all.

Then, what greeted them was Qing Ming's long swords swung one after another.

On the top of the cliff, those Konoha ninjas who stayed behind saw the chaotic battlefield and the entangled ninjas of their own and the enemy. After a moment of hesitation, they also joined the battle.

This once again reduced the pressure on Uchiha Tiehuo and others, so the offensive momentum became even stronger.

······

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

The sky was getting dark, and the sun was about to disappear completely. A loud horn sound suddenly came from the Kirigakure battleship in the distance.

In an instant, the fog ninjas in the field seemed to be awakened. One by one, they suddenly woke up from the fight.

They looked back at the warship and saw that it had turned around. Without any hesitation, they immediately distanced themselves from the Konoha ninjas.

After retreating to a safe place, they immediately turned around and ran towards the warships behind them.

Seeing this, except for a few Konoha ninjas who were already bloodthirsty, no one tried to stop them.

It was not that they wanted to let the Kirigakure ninjas go, but that they had no strength to stop them.

Although the battle just now did not last long, in fact, in terms of intensity, it was no less than any other war.

In fact, it was even more intense.

After all, two hundred people against four hundred people, even with Qingming disrupting the opponent's formation twice and attracting a large number of high-level Kirigakure ninjas, it was quite difficult for the Konoha ninjas.

When they were fighting just now, they didn't feel it very much. Once the battle stopped, they lost their fighting spirit.

Similarly, Qingming did not choose to stop them.

Even though he knew that as long as he stopped the opponent for a while, he could wait for the support of Kurosawa Chengshu.

By then, these Mist Ninjas would definitely not be able to return.

But he still did not make a move to stop them.

As for the reason

It is very simple. What he can think of, these Mist Ninjas can definitely think of.

Therefore, once he makes a move to stop them, these Mist Ninjas will definitely counterattack.

By then, what awaits him will surely be a fierce battle.

Originally, he has been targeted by the Hidden Mist Village. If these Mist Ninjas all die here because of him.

Then, what awaits him will definitely be further targeted.

Although there is the existence of ‘Heaven’s Guard’, Qingming is not afraid of being targeted.

But as the saying goes, if you often walk on the shore, you will get your shoes wet. The reason why the trump card is the trump card is that it cannot be moved lightly.

If he is forced to use ‘Heaven’s Guard’ frequently because of the Hidden Mist Village’s targeting, then sooner or later, someone will notice the clues.

By then, if someone comes up with a countermeasure, it will be a big trouble.

So, it is better to hide some.

Moreover, when those Kirigakure junior ninjas were retreating, he was being watched by several Kirigakure jonins, and he had no way to attack them.

So, in the end, he could only let them leave.
