Whoosh~
A kunai was shot from behind.
Qingming seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and his body slightly tilted to avoid the sneak attack.
Turning back to look at the direction of the kunai attack, he saw that an Iwagakure Chunin gave up the two Konoha Genin who were being beaten by him and rushed straight towards this side.
Not only him, but another Iwagakure Ninja also gave up his opponent and leaned towards this side.
Obviously, these two people were going to join forces to deal with him.
Qingming had expected this.
When the middle-aged Iwagakure Ninja launched a sneak attack on him, he knew that he had entered the field of vision of these Iwagakure Ninjas, and it was only a matter of time before he was targeted.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he would take the initiative to attack.
Therefore, Qingming chose to kill Ichiro Ishii quickly.
It was to interrupt the rhythm of these people.
Just like now, once Ichiro Ishii died, the two people in front of him had to give up the target in their hands and use their energy on him.
In doing so, Qingming seemed to be a shield for these Konoha Genin, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that the risk he took did not increase.
In fact, overall, it was even smaller.
Because according to the opponent's rhythm, after these two people killed the target in their hands, they would most likely besiege him together with Ishii Ichiro.
Now that Ishii Ichiro is dead, the number of people besieging him has dropped from three to two, and the danger has been greatly reduced.
At the same time, whether the surviving Konoha Genin are willing or not, they will attract the attention of other nearby Iwagakure, thereby reducing the number of potential opponents for him.
In this way, as long as he masters the rhythm, he will not have to face more enemies in a short time.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming no longer wasted time. He immediately took out his kunai and ran towards the two people opposite.
Seeing Qingming rushing straight at him, the two Iwagakure did not waste words. After looking at each other, they also rushed towards Qingming, obviously intending to fight him in close combat.
Generally speaking, as long as they are not genius-level ninjas, the chakra in their bodies is very limited.
Therefore, when fighting, ninjutsu is usually not frequently performed, especially in such a chaotic battlefield.
Because no one knows whether an enemy will appear after the chakra is exhausted and kill him.
Therefore, every ninja is a master of careful calculation.
It is true that Qingming showed a good close combat ability when fighting with Ichiro Ishii just now, but that was a one-on-one fight after all.
Now, these two rock ninjas join forces, and they don't think Qingming will be their opponent.
So, when they saw Qingming close the distance and prepare for close combat, they did not choose to avoid it, but took the challenge on the spot.
In fact, they were a little relieved in their hearts.
After all, the process of Qingming using ninjutsu to kill Ichiro Ishii just now was still vivid in their minds. Although they didn't say it, they were still a little afraid in their hearts.
Now, Qingming chose close combat, which just suited their wishes.
They didn't believe it. Could Qingming fight two people alone?
The facts were just as they expected.
Even though he had mastered the basic physical skills to level 3, and had mastered all the skills, and had gained some practical experience from Ichiro Ishii, Qingming still couldn't fight two enemies alone.
Therefore, in just a short period of time, he had several more scars on his body.
Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries and would not affect his combat effectiveness for the time being.
Ding~Ding~
Qingming waved the kunai in his hand, blocking the attacks of the two rock ninjas one after another, and then took a step back to temporarily distance himself.
The two rock ninjas did not chase immediately, but stood on the left and right, slowly approaching from both sides.
During this period, they did not forget to use psychological tactics to affect Qingming's fighting spirit.
"Boy, stop struggling, you can't beat us, put down your weapons and surrender now, maybe we can spare your life." One of them said. "Yeah, kid, do you think there is anyone around who can help you? Surrender now to avoid physical pain." Another person echoed.
Hearing this, Qingming glanced at the battlefield with his peripheral vision.
Indeed, everyone nearby was fighting now, and no one could help him, not even Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.
At this time, they were fighting with a young Iwagakure ninja, and there was a Konoha Genin assisting them.
Three to one, the situation was not very optimistic, but there would be no danger to their lives for a while.
After confirming this, Qingming quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he focused on the two people in front of him.
Indeed, with one against two, without opening the Sharingan, he was no match for the two with his melee ability.
But at the same time, it was unlikely that the two would be able to kill him easily.
So, the situation was frozen here.
And this was exactly what he needed.
As long as he could maintain this situation, Qingming would not be in a hurry at all. Anyway,
time was on his side. As long as the reinforcements arrived, the crisis would naturally be resolved. There was no need to fight to the death with the two opponents.
With this in mind, Qingming's mentality became more stable.
Seeing that Qingming was not affected by their words at all, the two Rock Ninjas simply stopped wasting words and rushed towards him again.
Ding Ding Dang Dang~
the harsh sound of metal collisions rang out
one after another. Qingming's perception was fully open, and he was only slightly at a disadvantage against two people.
The battle lasted for one or two minutes.
Finally, one of the Rock Ninjas couldn't bear it anymore. After making a gesture to his teammates, he suddenly pulled away, as if preparing to perform some ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Qingming secretly said, "Not good!"
Although he had long known that the two would not allow him to delay time like this, it was still beyond his expectation that they would change their tactics now.
He thought he could delay for a few minutes anyway, but losing patience in such a short time still caught him off guard.
Qingming was about to pull away, but the only remaining Rock Ninja in front of him suddenly stepped up his offensive, making it impossible for him to extricate himself for a while.
The situation was critical, Qingming thought: "Should I use the Sharingan?"
With a deliberate plan, Qingming had enough confidence to kill the Iwagakure in front of him, but he was not sure if he could hide it from another Iwagakure.
If the Sharingan was exposed, not to mention the trouble that would follow, there would probably be a bunch of Iwagakure ninjas coming to besiege him.
After all, every Uchiha ninja who opened the Sharingan was a potential stock, and if they could be killed, the credit would definitely be great.
Moreover, the Sharingan was not guarded by a caged bird, and the Iwagakure Village did not mind snatching one for research.
Of course, Qingming would not necessarily be in trouble if he did not use the Sharingan, but this feeling of losing control of the situation made Qingming feel very insecure.
Just as Qingming was struggling, several shrill whistles of varying lengths suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
Hearing the whistle, the Iwagakure ninja who was still attacking frantically suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked at the Iwagakure ninja who retreated to the back.
Then the two of them formed seals together, performed some kind of earth escape ninjutsu, and rushed to the periphery of the battlefield together.
"Is this... retreat?!"
Qingming was surprised and happy. If the other party retreated, he would not have to worry about it.
