Naruto: My Progress in Konoha - Chapter 536
In Qingming’s perception, the transparent chains connecting him and the four Root Ninjas were like scales, with him at one end and the four Root Ninjas at the other.
As for the “weight” of both of them, it was their spirit and body.
And it was obvious that even if the four Root Ninjas were added together, their physical and mental “weight” was not as much as his.
That was why they had unexpected expressions on their faces.
You know, according to past records, once the Root Ninjas were forced to use this “fighting for life” sealing technique, the enemy would be suppressed directly as long as they did not dodge.
But now, they could clearly feel that Qingming still had the strength to fight back.
Not only that, the speed at which their vitality was lost was much faster than expected.
In this case, they could not hold on for too long.
With this thought, they immediately signaled to the five Root Ninjas on the periphery, asking them to take action immediately and solve Qingming.
After receiving the hint from the four people, the five Root Ninjas took out a talisman from their arms without any hesitation, activated it, and stuck it on their bodies.
In this way, they don’t have to worry about the suppression of the sealing barrier in a short time.
Then, under Qingming’s gaze, the five people stepped into the sealing barrier.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~
Several kunai flew out, aiming directly at Qingming in the sky.
At this time, Qingming had a hard time maintaining his flying posture, let alone dodging.
So, he directly drew out the long sword at his waist and swung it out.
Ding, ding, ding~
A sound of metal clashing was heard, and the several flying kunai were chopped off by him.
Seeing this, the eyes of several Root Ninjas lit up slightly, and after looking at each other, they immediately dispersed and threw the kunai in their hands again from different directions.
Obviously, they saw that Qingming was unable to dodge, and wanted to trap and kill him in this way.
With the help of the Sharingan and the Byakugan hidden under the forehead guard, Qingming could clearly see that among the kunai shot by the opponent this time, there were not only poisonous ones, but also ones with detonating tags.
In this case, it is definitely not possible to fight head-on.
After thinking about it, Qingming waved his sword to block some of the poisonous kunai, and then flapped his wings to actively lower the altitude.
Finally, he released the “Wind Style·Wind Wings” and landed on the ground.
Suddenly, Qingming felt that his body was much more relaxed, and the difficulty of mobilizing chakra was also reduced.
Yes, maintaining the “Wind Style·Wind Wings” all the time is equivalent to performing a ninjutsu all the time.
Normally, it is not a big deal. His chakra control is enough, and this pressure is nothing. He can completely hold on.
But now it is different. With the suppression of this sealing barrier, every bit of space that can be operated is very precious to him. If he releases a little, he will naturally feel relaxed.
Just as Qingming was thinking this, five root ninjas rushed up.
Obviously, they wanted to take the opportunity to surround and kill him.
Qingming was not afraid when he looked at several people. He immediately used the ninjutsu – Lightning Release: Lightning Body!
Crackling~
A flash of lightning flashed.
Qingming could feel that his speed and reaction speed had improved a little.
However, his ‘Lightning Release: Lightning Body’ was only level 1 after all, and the help it could provide was quite ordinary.
But no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and Qingming did not despise it.
In this way, he rushed towards the weakest Root Chunin with sparks and lightning, trying to get rid of him first.
However, this sealing barrier eventually affected his speed. Although the Root Chunin did not react, it gave the other four people a chance to attack.
Especially the two real Jonin, their attacks were even faster, more accurate and more ruthless.
One of them directly threw the kunai in his hand, trying to take the opportunity to shoot through his heart, while the other came to his side, trying to take the opportunity to cut his throat.
That’s right, no one tried to block the attack for this Root Chunin. They had one and only one goal, which was to kill Qingming.
Sensing the danger, Qingming gave up his goal without hesitation and stopped.
Then, he ducked to avoid the kunai, and then swung his knife to block another kunai that was stabbing straight at his neck.
Ding~
A crisp metal collision sounded.
Qingming suddenly exerted force with his arm and swung away the kunai in front of him.
Then, he dodged and avoided a vacuum bullet.
With a glance, he saw that not far away, a Root Special Jonin was opening his mouth and spitting out the second vacuum bullet at him.
Without any hesitation, Qingming dodged again and avoided the attack.
Then the third and fourth
After dodging seven vacuum bullets, the Root ninja stopped casting the spell.
However, before he could catch his breath, a sharp whistle came into his ears, causing his body to sway and he almost fell to the ground.
This attack was launched by the Root Ninja who had performed the sound wave ninjutsu before.
As he had expected before, the power of this technique at close range was truly extraordinary.
Even though he had just seen the other party’s seal through his Byakugan and immediately gathered chakra and made corresponding defenses, he was still injured.
Taking this opportunity, several other Root Ninjas launched another attack.
Ding Ding Dang Dang~
For a while, the sound of metal clashing continued.
Qingming used his Byakugan and Sharingan to fight five people at a time. Although he was at a disadvantage and suffered some injuries, his life was not in danger.
On the contrary, the five Root ninjas became more and more frightened and anxious as the fight went on.
There was no other way. As time went on, the four Root ninjas who maintained the sealing barrier became worse and worse, and the restrictions on Qingming became smaller and smaller.
At first, Qingming didn’t even have the ability to use the “Instant Sword Technique”, but after a while, he was able to perform this technique.
Moreover, he took this opportunity to kill one of them. Although it was only the weakest Chunin, it was enough to alert them.
So, their attack became more crazy. Not only did they use others as bait, but they were also looking for opportunities to die with Qingming.
Unfortunately, any of their small movements were exposed under the gaze of Qingming’s Byakugan and Sharingan.
Therefore, Qingming was not afraid of their fighting style of “hurting the enemy 800 times and hurting oneself 1,000 times”, and even took this opportunity to cause considerable damage to some people.
Seeing that Qingming was getting easier and easier, finally, the two root ninjas could not bear it anymore, and left the battle one after another, and then quickly formed seals and performed a powerful ninjutsu each.
One of them opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of water, covering the entire range of the barrier, and the other took the opportunity to perform a thunder escape ninjutsu.
The two combined, instantly turning the entire sealed barrier into a thunder pool.
Qingming was in it, and it was inevitable that he was affected.
In just a moment, his hair was electrocuted and stood up, and there were traces of charred black on the surface of his skin. Wisps of green smoke came out, and the whole person exuded a faint smell of meat.
Obviously, he was seriously injured under the joint attack of these two people.
However, even so, there was no fear on Qingming’s face.
Not only that, there was even a smile on his face.
Yes, it was a smile.
There is no other reason. With the release of these two ninjutsu, the four sealing chains that were firmly rooted in his mind and body disappeared.
Here we have to mention the disadvantages of this sealing barrier. It not only consumes the vitality of the caster, but also this consumption will increase with the increase of the internal chakra fluctuations.
For this reason, several root ninjas who besieged Qingming did not perform ninjutsu too frequently in the past period of time.
Now, the reason why these two root ninjas suddenly performed powerful ninjutsu was that they realized that delaying it would only give Qingming a chance, so they decided to give it a try.
However, in their estimation, even such ninjutsu would not cause the sealing barrier to collapse immediately, and they should have a few more chances to attack in the end.
But the result was beyond their expectations. With just one time, this sealing barrier drained the vitality of the four root ninjas who maintained it, allowing Qingming to completely regain his freedom.
