Retracting his thoughts, Qingming put his sights back on the Iwagakure Chunin in front of him. The battle is still going on Qingming fought one against two, and he was not at a disadvantage at all. But this was only temporary. Qingming was only one person after all. Facing the joint attack of two people, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes after a long time. So. 'We must fight quickly! ' And if we want to fight quickly, 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 lv3 'ninja tool throwing' and the ninjutsu that has generally been upgraded to lv2. 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 battle, 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 scratched her arm 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 slightly 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 slow one step, slow every step. 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 person. 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 did not 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 did not intend to give Qingming time to breathe. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Several shurikens and kunai were thrown by the two Rock Ninjas, chasing 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 shuriken 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 it was inserted into wood. Wait! It's not like, but it really inserted into the wood. Qingming, who had fallen to the ground, had turned into a piece of wood with shurikens and kunai stuck on it. Seeing this scene, the two rock ninjas who were about to go forward to finish him off stopped in their tracks and exclaimed in surprise: "Substitution Technique!" They were not surprised that Qingming knew the "Substitution Technique", but they were surprised that Qingming could perform the "Substitution Technique" in such a short time. Even if it was them, 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 rock ninjas were experienced in combat and immediately looked for a suitable hiding place nearby. Then, they saw Qingming standing on a 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 were agile, they were still affected by the exploding fireball.
Bang~ A rock ninja fell to the ground in a mess, without even taking a breath, and hurriedly held onto 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 the kunai fly 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 already tied to the tree. At this moment, he discovered that there was an undetectable steel wire behind the kunai, and it was this steel wire that tied him to the tree. The Rock Ninja seemed to have thought of something, and said "not good" to himself, and was about to get out, but at this time his arms were bound by the steel wire, and he couldn't make a seal at all, so he could only use brute force. But the steel wire was not so easy to break free. Just as he was struggling, a line of fire appeared from the smoke and dust, along the steel wire, like a fire dragon, burning straight towards him. "Ah~~~" The painful wail resounded throughout the battlefield, and it gradually disappeared after several breaths. Tap tap tap~ Qing Ming walked out of the smoke and dust slowly, looking at the Rock Ninja who was charred but still alive, and threw a kunai to end his life. Then, he looked to the right, where another Iwagakure ninja was struggling. He was one of the two who besieged him. At this time, the other party had several shurikens stuck in his body, and blood was 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 open the Sharingan for a short time. With this, he used Kunai and steel wire to trap the Iwagakure ninja in front of him, and sent the 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 whole 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 his age advantage and his previous behavior of helping Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko immediately after killing his opponent, the two Iwagakure Chunins did not doubt this. So, when Qingming showed a state of confusion due to Mizutani Shizuko's injury, the two did not doubt anything. Then, Qingming revealed his flaws, and the two were fooled.
At the moment he was kicked away, Qingming knew that his plan was successful. Although the opponent's subsequent attacks were connected smoothly, his "substitute technique" had already been cultivated to the perfect state of lv3. In addition, when he left the ground, he deliberately accelerated to gain time, which was enough for him to perform the "substitute technique". From this moment on, he changed 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, the Sharingan cooperated with the "Ninja Tool Throwing" to trap one of the two and seriously injure one. Then came what he just did. He started with the "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique" and attacked the trapped Iwagakure Chunin from a distance, leaving him no chance to escape. After both of them lost their combat power, he calmly finished them off and ended it all. In general, the entire process of this battle was not out of his control. It was only when he turned the passive situation into the active one that he took a little risk. But that risk was within Qingming's tolerance. Not to mention that he was 90% sure that he could successfully perform the "Substitute Technique", even if he didn't perform it, he could risk exposing his Sharingan and avoid subsequent attacks. So, in general, the risk was not that high. However, the two Iwagakure Chunins were also unlucky. They didn't 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.
