Retracting his thoughts, Qingming put his sights back on the Iwagakure Chunin in front of him.
The battle is still going on
. Qingming is fighting one against two, and he is not at a disadvantage at all.
But this is only temporary.
After all, Qingming is only one person. Facing the joint attack of two people, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes over time.
So.
"We must fight quickly and decisively!"
And if we want to fight quickly and decisively, we must first get rid of the current situation of mutual entanglement.
If we keep fighting in close combat, we can't play his advantages at all.
What are his advantages?
Of course, it is the level 3 "Ninja Tool Throwing" and the ninjutsu that has generally been upgraded to level 2.
With this thought, Qingming began to think about countermeasures.
When he saw that Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were in danger at the hands of the Iwagakure Chunin, he suddenly had an idea.
So, in the following battles, Qingming would turn his attention to that side from time to time, and whenever the two were injured, he would show anxiety at the right time.
And these changes of his were naturally seen by the two Iwagakure Chunins.
The two looked at each other,
and everything was self-evident. Qingming also saw their changes, and he remained calm.
Now, both sides are waiting for an opportunity.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Mizutani Shizuko accidentally got her arm scratched by the Iwagakure Chunin, and blood flowed.
The intense pain made Mizutani Shizuko scream involuntarily.
Seeing this, Qingming's face changed slightly, as if his attention was distracted, and his dodging action was a little slower.
Then, there was a "swish" sound, and the clothes on Qingming's left shoulder were cut open by an Iwagakure Chunin, and a little scarlet oozed out of the cut.
Seeing this scene, another Iwagakure Chunin's eyes lit up, and he quickly swung the kunai in his hand, pointing directly at Qingming's vitals.
And Qingming's next performance perfectly explained what it means to be one step slow, and every step is slow.
Qingming was injured because he failed to dodge just now. Although the injury was not serious, it could even be said to be insignificant, but the rhythm of the battle was disrupted.
Therefore, under the attack of another Rock Ninja, he could only retreat step by step.
The Rock Ninja who first injured Qingming also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on him.
In the end, Qingming could not resist and was kicked in the right arm by one of them.
In fact, if Qingming had not blocked it with his arm at the critical moment, this kick would probably have hit his head.
At that time, it would not be as simple as flying out.
That's right, after being kicked, Qingming flew to the left and back involuntarily.
But what the two Rock Ninjas didn't notice was that Qingming kicked the ground hard at the moment when his feet left the ground and flew out, making the speed of flying backwards a little faster.
However, even if they noticed it, they would not care, because they didn't intend to give Qingming time to breathe.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Several shurikens and kunai were thrown by the two Rock Ninjas, chasing after Qingming who was flying backwards.
Not only that, they also followed closely behind, ready to complete the final blow at any time.
Qingming was very familiar with this kind of attack method, because not long ago, he had just killed an Iwagakure Genin in this way.
Qingming knew that no matter whether he could dodge this wave of shuriken and kunai attacks, he would face a series of attacks from two Iwagakure Chunins the moment he landed.
If he didn't react in time, he would be killed on the spot by the two Iwagakure Chunins behind him, just like the Iwagakure Genin he killed.
Even if he reacted, he would be in danger if he lost the initiative.
It seemed that his situation was very bad.
However, there was no panic on Qingming's face, and he even had a little complacency.
Bang bang bang~
The shurikens and kunai shot by the two Iwagakure Chunins all hit Qingming.
However, the sound that came out was not the sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, but a bit like being inserted into wood.
Wait!
It's not like, but it's really inserted into the wood.
I saw that Qingming, who fell to the ground, had turned into a piece of wood with shurikens and kunai stuck on it.
Seeing this, the two Iwagakure ninjas who were about to go forward to finish off the enemy stopped in their tracks and exclaimed in surprise: "Substitution Technique!"
They were not surprised that Qingming knew the "Substitution Technique", but how could Qingming perform the "Substitution Technique" in such a short time.
Even they might not be able to succeed.
However, these are not important for the time being. The important thing is, where is Qingming now?
The two Iwagakure Chunins were experienced in combat, and they immediately looked for a suitable hiding place nearby. Then, they saw Qingming standing on the tree branch.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique~'
Qingming placed his right hand in front of his mouth and spit out a huge red fireball.
The rolling heat wave hit, and the two Rock Ninjas hurriedly dodged, but because they missed the opportunity, even if they moved quickly, they were still affected by the exploding fireball.
Bang~
A Rock Ninja fell to the ground in embarrassment, not even taking a breath, and hurriedly held the tree trunk and was about to stand up.
But at this moment, a kunai flew out from the smoke and dust.
The Rock Ninja quickly turned his body to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.
However, before he could be happy, he saw that the kunai flew behind the tree, suddenly changed direction, and circled back from the other side of the tree.
Zizizizi~
A sound of steel wire rubbing was heard.
Before the Rock Ninja could react, his body was tied to the tree.
At this time, he realized that there was an undetectable steel wire behind the kunai, and it was this steel wire that tied him to the tree.
The Iwagakure Chunin seemed to have thought of something, and said "not good" in his heart, and was about to get out, but at this time his arms were bound by steel wires, and he couldn't make a seal at all, so he could only use brute force.
But the steel wires were not so easy to break free.
Just as he was struggling, a line of fire appeared from the smoke and dust, along the steel wires, like a fire dragon, burning straight towards him.
"Ah~~~"
The painful wail resounded throughout the battlefield, and it took several breaths before it gradually disappeared.
Tap, tap, tap~
Qingming walked out of the smoke and dust slowly, looking at the Iwagakure Chunin who was charred but still alive, and threw a kunai to end his life.
Then, he looked to the right not far away, where there was another Iwagakure ninja struggling, one of the two people who besieged him.
At this time, the other party had several shurikens stuck in his body, and blood could not stop pouring out. He tried to get up several times, but failed.
There is no doubt that these shurikens were also the work of Qingming.
Just now, he took advantage of the smoke to briefly open the Sharingan.
With this, he was able to do two things at once, not only trapping the Iwagakure in front of him with kunai and steel wire, but also sending shuriken into the body of another Iwagakure ninja.
Looking at the struggling Iwagakure ninja, Qingming shook his head and threw a kunai casually, ending the other party's pain.
So far, both Iwagakure Chunin have been killed by him.
Looking back at the entire battle process, the turning point can be said to have started with that kick.
After determining the battlefield strategy of a quick battle, Qingming hinted to the other party that he attached great importance to the situation of his companions.
Thanks to the advantage of age and his previous behavior of helping Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko out of siege after killing his opponent, the two Iwagakure Chunin did not doubt this.
Therefore, after Qingming showed a state of confusion due to concern for Mizutani Shizuko's injury, the two did not doubt anything.
After that, Qingming revealed his flaws as expected, and the two were fooled.
The moment he was kicked away, Qingming knew that his plan was successful.
Although the opponent's subsequent attacks were connected smoothly, his "Substitution Technique" had already been cultivated to the perfect state of level 3.
In addition, when he left the ground, he deliberately accelerated to buy time, which was enough for him to perform the "Substitution Technique".
From this moment on, he turned from passive to active.
First, he took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and smashed a "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique" to catch the opponent off guard.
Then, he used the Sharingan to cooperate with the "Ninja Tool Throwing" to trap one of them and seriously injure the other.
Then came what he did just now.
He started with the "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique" and attacked the trapped Iwagakure Chunin from a long distance, leaving him no chance to escape.
After both of them lost their combat power, he calmly finished them off.
In general, the whole process of this battle was not out of his control. Only when he turned passive into active, it was a little risky.
But that little risk was also within Qingming's tolerance.
Not to mention that he was 90% sure that he could successfully perform the "Substitution Technique", even if he failed to perform it, he could still avoid subsequent attacks by exposing his Sharingan.
So, in general, the risk was not that high.
However, the two Iwagakure Chunins were also unlucky. They did not perform any decent ninjutsu throughout the whole process, and Qingming seized the opportunity and took them away directly.
From this, we can also see how important it is to grasp the timing in the battle between ninjas.
