Clang, clang~
In an instant, the eight Konoha ninjas led by Qingming were engaged in a fierce battle with the five Kiri ninjas not far away.
With his gaze taken away from them, Qingming looked once again at the two Kiri Jonin.
As soon as they noticed his gaze, the two Kiri Jonin immediately reacted without any words.
One of the Jonin, whose water streams were still wrapped around Qingming, pulled with great force, trying to drag him forward.
At the same time, the other Jonin seized the opportunity to throw several shuriken, targeting Qingming's vital spots.
Clearly, the two were in perfect coordination.
Unfortunately, all of this was futile in front of the Sharingan.
Qingming's Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly locking onto the several shuriken.
After confirming there were no hidden tricks, he followed the pull of the water stream and lunged forward, dodging the shuriken with ease.
Not only that, he quickly gathered chakra and used the "Chakra Scalpel" technique to sever the water stream around his left wrist.
With both hands free, Qingming did not hesitate. He twisted his body, dodging more shuriken that were thrown at him. He swiftly formed hand signs and cast the "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"
In the next moment, a multitude of fireballs shot from his mouth, like bullets, straight toward the two Kiri Jonin.
Seeing this, the two Jonin did not blindly dodge. One continued using the water streams to restrict Qingming's movement.
The other Jonin quickly formed hand signs and, just as the fireballs were about to reach them, performed a technique—"Water Style: Water Wall!"
Whoosh~
A water wall rose in front of them, perfectly blocking the trajectory of the fireballs.
Qingming's fireballs struck the water wall, only producing a sizzling sound and failing to harm the Jonin behind it.
However, Qingming was not disappointed by this.
After all, they were two Jonin; it was unrealistic to expect to kill them easily. His goal was not to kill them but merely to buy time.
Feeling the force on his feet again, Qingming stomped the ground, leaping into the air. As he did, he swung his arms, severing the two water streams wrapped around his ankles.
Regaining his freedom, Qingming did not hesitate. He twisted his body midair to avoid the shuriken aimed at him.
He quickly drew the long sword from his waist, and as he landed, a green glow enveloped him—he had activated the "Instant Sword Technique."
In that moment, his speed surged, and before the two Kiri Jonin could react, he was already in front of them.
Swish~
Qingming swung his sword, aiming directly at the Kiri Jonin who had previously attacked him.
Knowing how troublesome the "Ghost Sword" technique could be, Hori Kawa Koji did not want to engage Qingming head-on.
Therefore, he quickly retreated, attempting to create distance between them.
Unfortunately for him, whether he wanted to retreat or not, Qingming would not let him.
The sword swing missed, and without hesitation, Qingming pushed off the ground. In the next moment, he shot forward like a cannonball, chasing after Hori Kawa Koji.
However, just as he was about to catch up with Koji, another Kiri Jonin appeared from the side.
Clearly, this person understood Koji's intentions and moved to block Qingming.
Clang~
The long sword collided with a shuriken, producing a crisp metallic sound.
Qingming's steps slowed as he withdrew his gaze from Hori Kawa Koji and focused on the Kiri Jonin now standing right before him.
Without a sound, Qingming activated the "Genjutsu: Sharingan" to attempt to control him.
However, this Kiri Jonin was cautious and seemed to have already prepared for this move.
Thus, as soon as they made contact, he quickly withdrew the shuriken and distanced himself.
Not only that, he also deliberately avoided direct eye contact, preventing their gazes from meeting.
Seeing this, Qingming did not get discouraged.
After all, killing anyone was still within his reach!
He immediately abandoned Koji and took a step forward, chasing after the Kiri Jonin ahead. He swung his sword once more.
This time, Qingming used the "Shadow Sword Technique."
After practicing for the past few days and honing his skills in actual combat, his "Shadow Sword Technique" had advanced rapidly, reaching level 5 proficiency.
Thus, using it now was much smoother.
The blade shot forward at high speed, and just as it was about to strike the Kiri Jonin in front of him, the Jonin quickly raised his shuriken to block the blow.
However, at that very moment, Qingming's long sword suddenly split into three, and in the short distance between them, the sword pieces split into three separate directions, aiming at the Jonin.
The Kiri Jonin, reacting quickly, or perhaps just being adept at close combat, quickly blocked two of the sword pieces with his rapidly moving shuriken.
Furthermore, with a slight twist of his body, he narrowly avoided the third blade.
Qingming's long sword passed under his armpit, only slicing through his clothing.
"Eh!"
Seeing the Jonin's response, Qingming couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
However, he did not dwell on it too much.
After all, this was just the beginning.
Next, Qingming was about to strike again, but at that moment, several shuriken suddenly flew at him from the side.
Out of the corner of his eye, Qingming saw that the one attempting the sneak attack was none other than Hori Kawa Koji, who had created distance earlier.
His body flashed, dodging the incoming shuriken.
At the same time, he moved to the side of the Kiri Jonin in front of him.
Swish~
The long sword struck once more.
The Kiri Jonin quickly turned and raised his arm, using his shuriken to block Qingming's attack.
Screech~
Both of them exerted force simultaneously, and the sharp sound of metal grinding filled the air.
The long sword, aided by Qingming's enhanced physique from his recent transformations, gave him the advantage despite his smaller stature.
Thus, after just a brief moment of stalemate, the Kiri Jonin could no longer hold his ground.
Seeing the blade approaching, his face turned pale. With a shout, he exerted force and deflected Qingming's attack.
Then, he swiftly retreated, widening the gap between them.
As Qingming was about to pursue, Hori Kawa Koji, from a distance, completed his hand seals and unleashed a technique.
A water dragon shot up into the air and dove down with an unstoppable force, heading straight for Qingming.
Qingming instantly recognized the technique—"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Although this technique seemed commonplace, it was actually a real B-rank ninjutsu known for its destructive power.
With the physical prowess of a ninja, anyone hit directly by this technique would either die or suffer severe injury.
Therefore, even Qingming would not dare to take it head-on.
