Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 534
Puff~
A ball of fire appeared out of thin air.
It was about to engulf the root ninja who was performing the sonic ninjutsu.
But at this moment, the opponent suddenly jumped forward and avoided the attack of the ‘Fire Style: Sushoku Jutsu’.
“Huh?”
Seeing this, Qingming let out a light “huh” and was about to attack again.
However, before he could make a seal again, his powerful mental perception made him discover that there was more chakra in the air around him.
“What is this?”
Qingming’s heart moved, and he felt familiar again.
In just a moment, he recognized what ninjutsu this was. It was the ninjutsu he had just performed – Fire Style: Sushoku Jutsu!
Qingming glanced over and instantly saw a root ninja who was making a seal towards him behind a big tree not far away.
Obviously, this ninjutsu was performed by the opponent.
Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately flapped his wings and quickly flew away from this dangerous area.
Almost at the moment he left the spot, a large flame appeared out of thin air, covering the space where he had just stayed.
It can be predicted that if his movements were a little slower, he would be engulfed by the flames.
“Haha~, the opportunity is really good!”
Qingming sneered, and immediately formed a seal quickly, and fired a “Wind Style: Wind Blade” at the root ninja.
Whoosh~
A meter-long transparent wind blade appeared and cut towards the opponent at a very fast speed.
Even though he was hiding behind the tree, he felt a strong crisis of death.
Without any hesitation, he dodged and jumped out of the protection range of the tree.
The next moment, the wind blade cut through the trunk of the tree.
With a “swish” sound, the wind blade quickly passed through the trunk and cut the whole tree in half.
Crack~
The tree could not bear the force and began to collapse rapidly. A large number of branches and leaves fell, crushing several shorter trees around, forcing several root ninjas around to dodge urgently.
Seeing this scene, Qingming secretly said: “Good opportunity!”
Then, he raised his hand and made a seal, and performed the ninjutsu – Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!
In an instant, dozens of fireballs were spit out by him, like the seeds of the Phoenix Flower, floating and flying towards the big tree that was falling.
Soon, the big tree was ignited and turned into a huge source of fire, which quickly spread to the surroundings.
Suddenly, not only the root ninjas under the big tree suffered, but also the root ninjas under other nearby trees were affected.
Ninja, after all, is still a fragile profession with high attack and low defense. Even if it is just an ordinary flame, as long as the fire is big enough, it can burn them to death.
With this thought, Qingming made a seal again and performed the ninjutsu – Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!
Huh~
A gust of wind blew out of his mouth and blew towards the burning forest below.
Suddenly, the fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The two combined to turn a large area of the surrounding forest into a sea of fire.
If it were an ordinary ninja, facing this situation, I’m afraid he would have been in a mess.
However, these root ninjas did not.
They had a clear division of labor. Five of them attacked Qingming to attract his attention and tie up his energy, so that he could not cause further harm.
The other four people formed seals together and each performed a water escape ninjutsu.
In an instant, a large amount of water vapor gathered and turned into four water escape ninjutsu, rushing towards the sea of fire in all directions.
Water and fire are incompatible. Almost the moment the two met, the two sides began to confront each other.
However, although the surrounding fire was large, it was an ordinary flame after all, and the water in the field was a ninjutsu performed by the ninja.
Therefore, although the power of water escape was small, it eventually defeated the fire.
After a few breaths, the flames in most places went out, leaving only some flames in the corners still burning.
However, it was also half-dead, and a lot of black smoke came out of the burning places.
After dodging the attacks of several root ninjas again, Qingming looked at the forest below.
It can be seen that the trees in this area, whether they were burning before or not, are now covered with water stains.
In this way, it is not easy to ignite them again.
Qingming secretly said it was a pity, and raised his eyes again to look at the nine surviving root ninjas. Through the white eyes, he could clearly see the amount of chakra in their bodies.
Judging from this, among these nine people, there are two real jonins, six special jonins, and one chunin.
If it was just this strength, Qingming would not be very afraid. Even if he faced them head-on, he was confident that he could win.
But the key to the problem is that these people are root ninjas, and their true strength cannot be shown by just chakra.
Since these people dare to deal with him, they must be prepared.
Indeed, with the help of the Byakugan, he discovered them first and caught them off guard, making it unknown how many of their prepared methods were wasted.
However, Qingming did not think that they only had one plan.
Therefore, he would definitely not approach these people unless it was absolutely necessary.
Qingming would rather waste more chakra and use the advantage of flying to kill them than take the risk of going down and fighting them in close combat.
From the previous root ninja who knew sonic ninjutsu, it can be seen that these people are very well prepared, and it is very dangerous to approach rashly.
Therefore, it is better to strike from a distance!
As for the problem of insufficient chakra.
Aren’t there still a lot of Mist Ninjas on the battlefield over there?
With these people as backup, Qingming really doesn’t believe that he can’t kill these people.
With this thought, Qingming didn’t say anything nonsense, grasped the distance, and attacked the Root Ninjas below.
For a period of time, Qingming seemed to have turned into a ruthless spell-casting machine, and all kinds of ninjutsu were at his fingertips, making several Root Ninjas run away.
However, looking at their appearance, Qingming sneered: “Poor performance.”
Others may not know the nature of Root Ninjas, but Qingming can still not know?
Indeed, with the help of Sharingan and Byakugan, he controlled the attack rhythm very well, leaving almost no chance for several Root Ninjas to counterattack.
But these are Root Ninjas!
As long as they really want to fight back, they can use the lives of others to fight for the opportunity, and those who are regarded as abandoned will not object.
But what about these people?
Under his attack, they dodged left and right, one by one, cherishing their lives, which was not the mission tool of “facing death with indifference” in his memory.
Obviously, these people used this method to lower his vigilance and find an opportunity to kill with one blow.
Unfortunately, Qingming had already made up his mind and acted cautiously.
So, no matter how they performed, he would not get close to the opponent and only use ninjutsu to attack from a distance.
In this way, the initiative was completely in his hands.
However, he did not think about exposing these people. Since they were willing to play, Qingming did not mind playing with them. Anyway, he was not the one who got hurt in the end.
