Chapter 158: Unstoppable
"Um?"
Qing Ming, who was immersed in honing his swordsmanship, suddenly noticed something wrong.
Then, with a thought in mind, the three magatama in the Sharingan spun rapidly, and he instantly determined Yuanshan Daito's intention.
"Want to die together? Naive!"
Muttering to himself, Qingming exerted force with his arm, and the dagger he had just thrust out was forcibly retracted before it could get close to the fight in Yuanshan.
Then, he flashed and avoided Yuanshan Dadou's fatal attack just in time.
"Oh no!"
Feeling that the sword missed, Yuanshan Dadou's heart trembled.
However, before he could think more, a sound of air being pierced was heard nearby.
"Danger!"
Yuanshan Dadou's senses were sending out crazy warnings and he wanted to dodge immediately, but it was too late.
Sizzle~
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.
The dagger in Qingming's hand stabbed into Yuanshan Dadou's chest, tearing his clothes and leaving a deep scar on his chest that could be seen to the bone.
"Hmm~"
The intense pain made Yuanshan Dadou couldn't help but let out a groan. Instinctively, he reached out and covered the wound on his chest.
However, the blood still kept gushing out, causing his vision to go dark.
Yuanshan Dadou knew that if he didn't take some measures quickly, the bleeding alone would be enough to take his life.
but
Yuanshan Dadou glanced around, but there was no sign of Qingming. How could he dare to treat his injuries with confidence?
However, he soon won't have to worry about that anymore.
Because in the next moment, a dagger penetrated his back, pierced his heart directly, and stabbed out from the front.
Phew~
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yuanshan Dadou's mouth.
He looked down and saw a bloody sword tip piercing through his clothes and sticking out.
"Is it over?"
Feeling the strength draining away from his body, Yuanshan Dadou murmured.
At the last moment of his life, he thought of his family and couldn't help thinking, "How wonderful it would be if there were no war!"
Squeak~
Qingming drew out his dagger and took away the last bit of life force of Yuanshan Dadou.
His keen perception allowed him to clearly feel the other person's emotional changes, but he did not delve into it or think too much about it.
After all, both sides are enemies, and Qing Ming is not bored enough to sympathize with the enemy.
Putting away the dagger, Qingming glanced at the battlefield.
At this point, the battle here was basically over, with only a few Rock Ninjas still struggling.
In addition, judging from the noises coming from other directions, the battles in those places are almost over.
Qing Ming simply stopped wasting time looking for new targets and instead began to treat his own wounded with the medical ninja accompanying the team.
It just so happens that he needs to accumulate proficiency in his "healing technique", and these people are the best tools.
Of course, this is just Qingming's own idea.
In the eyes of other Konoha ninjas, his behavior made him a model ninja - he would take on the most dangerous enemies during war, and would continue to help his own ninjas after the war.
If this isn't a model, what is?
As a result, the other ninjas looked at Qingming with a little more admiration.
Although Qingming doesn't care about reputation, sometimes reputation can also be a protective umbrella.
Therefore, he ignored the private discussions of these people.
······
Time passes by every second.
Half an hour later.
The battle is completely over.
According to statistics, a total of 105 enemies were killed, and 75 of our own people were killed or wounded. After treatment, 22 people were confirmed dead.
The casualty ratio between the two sides was close to five to one.
This is undoubtedly an exaggerated proportion.
The reason for such a big gap is not that the strength of the Iwagakure ninja is much weaker than that of Konoha, but that the number of people participating in the battle on both sides is too different.
Konoha sent out nearly five hundred people, and most of them were middle and upper ninjas, with only a small number of lower ninjas.
And what about the Iwagakure?
There were only a little over a hundred people in total, and most of them were Genin.
Not to mention the gap between individual ninjas, just in terms of numbers, on average there are four or five Konoha ninjas besieging one Iwagakure.
In this case, how could the casualty ratio not be exaggerated?
In fact, if some Iwagakure ninjas had not counterattacked at the last moment of their death, Konoha's casualties would have been even smaller, and the corresponding damage ratio would have been even more exaggerated.
Of course, not all Iwagakure were left behind.
After all, they didn't form an encirclement at the beginning, so it was normal for some Rock Ninjas to escape.
To put it another way, even if they surrounded the entire Iwagakure stronghold from the beginning, it would be impossible for them to keep everyone alive.
There are so many ninjutsu in the ninja world, who knows how others will escape?
So, it is impossible to stop it.
Once the battle here begins, intelligence leakage is almost inevitable.
Next, it depends on who is better prepared and who has a better ability to seize opportunities.
After resting for about an hour, Qingming and his group set off again.
According to the plan, they will continue forward and attack a second-line camp in Iwagakure Village.
Like Konoha, the defense line of the Iwagakure Village is also divided into several lines, and their task is to advance forward, fight layer by layer, and force other strongholds of the Iwagakure Village to return for reinforcements.
In this way, the Konoha stronghold that had previously cooperated with them in the feint attack will launch a real attack, thereby putting pressure on the Iwagakure Village across the board.
The whole plan is that simple!
In the extraordinary world of the ninja world, strategies and tactics can only serve as auxiliary.
More importantly, it is a test of the overall strength of the ninja village.
Therefore, Orochimaru did not formulate any complicated tactics, but simply ensured the advantage of their first wave of attack.
Next, it depends on how they perform.
An hour and a half later.
Qing Ming and others arrived at their destination.
Just as he had guessed before, the information about their attack had been leaked, and the Iwagakure ninjas in the camp were already on high alert.
However, this is of no use.
It was impossible for them to wait for reinforcements in such a short time. With only a hundred or so people in the camp, they were unable to stop their attack.
The battle was over in just over half an hour.
In this battle, Qingming only killed one special jonin.
It's not that he didn't want to kill more, but there weren't many jonin in this second-line camp itself.
With so many people and so little meat, he was able to grab one because he was a member of the combat team and had the obligation to deal with the enemy's high-risk targets. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get even one.
Moreover, those senior ninjas seemed to have already made plans to evacuate. When they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately took their people and fled.
Well.
Although they didn't take many people away.
But from their behavior and the ninjas they took away, it can be seen that the Iwagakure Village is intentionally preserving its high-end combat power.
It is foreseeable that they will face a tough battle soon.
At that time, these preserved combat forces will become one of the main forces in that battle.
With this thought in mind, Qing Ming secretly said, "It seems that in the next battle, I have to kill as many enemies as possible."
Keeping this thought in mind, Qing Ming once again helped the medical ninja to treat the wounded.
As for the problem of excessive chakra consumption leading to a decrease in combat power, there is no need to worry about that.
The level 5 'Chakra Absorption Technique' allows him to absorb a thousand points of chakra in one second and convert 90% of them into his own chakra.
Qing Ming only needs to find an opportunity and touch the enemy for a few seconds before he dies to replenish a lot of chakra.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about insufficient chakra.
