Chapter 157 Tactics
Squeak~
Qing Ming pulled the dagger out of Ishida Shinsuke's heart, watched the other's body slowly fall to the ground, and then swept around.
At this time, the Iwagakure ninjas had been divided and surrounded by the Konoha ninjas and were engaged in a bitter battle.
After all, although the Iwagakure Village has hidden some of its personnel, there are only more than a hundred of them in total. What about them?
Nearly five hundred people!
The two are simply not on the same level.
Therefore, Qingming was not worried about the outcome of this battle, but was only worried about whether the subsequent progress would be smooth.
However, these are all later stories, let's first check out the gains from this battle!
Qing Ming did not forget the main purpose of joining the combat team. If the results were not as expected, he would not work too hard in the future.
After opening the panel, Qingming's eyes were directly fixed on the 'Swordsmanship' option in the skill bar.
It was seen that his proficiency increased by more than twenty points compared with before, which was almost catching up with what he had gained from half a day's practice.
Qingming was very satisfied with this.
"It seems that I can't slack off anymore."
Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming closed the panel and began searching for a new target on the scene.
Soon, a sword-wielding Iwagakure jonin came into his sight.
After observing carefully for a while, Qing Ming determined that the opponent's swordsmanship level was average.
But no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Qing Ming did not despise it. He dodged a few times and came directly in front of the Iwagakure senior ninja.
Ding~
A crisp sound of metal collision was heard.
Qingming raised the dagger in his hand and blocked the attack from the Iwagakure jonin.
Then, without even turning his head, he said, "Leave this man to me, you go and command the battle."
Hearing this, the Konoha jonin who was fighting with the Iwagakure jonin turned around and glanced at the place where Qingming had fought before.
After seeing the dead Ishida Shinsuke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then nodded decisively and said, "Okay!"
Just one simple word, but it reveals absolute trust.
After all, he was just a special jonin, and the Iwagakure jonin who was fighting with him was also just a special jonin.
However, he took the time to take a look at Ishida Shinsuke who was fighting Qingming, and he found that the other party was definitely a real jonin.
And yet such a senior ninja died at Qingming's hands in just a few minutes, so what else did he have to worry about?
Now, the one who should be worried is the Iwagakure jonin on the opposite side.
In fact, this is true.
When Toyama Daito followed his gaze and saw Ishida Shinsuke's body, his heart trembled and he immediately had the thought of running away.
Especially when he saw Qingming's blood-red Sharingan, he became even less confident.
However, since Qingming has already arrived, he has no choice but to fight or flee.
Without giving him a chance to think, Qing Ming loosened his wrist, retracted the dagger, and then flashed and appeared next to Yuanshan Dadou.
Then, he swung a sword and attacked the opponent's neck.
Sensing that danger was approaching, Yuanshan Dadou quickly calmed his mind, dodged to the side, and swung his sword back at Qingming.
However, Qing Ming guessed the opponent's movements at the moment when his arm muscles bulged and the change in his leg standing posture.
So, he dodged in advance, causing Yuanshan Dadou's attack to miss.
Before he could stand firm, Qingming's second attack arrived.
As always, the attack was launched from a blind spot, leaving Yuanshan Dadou with very little time to react, and he could only dodge as much as possible.
This is equivalent to compressing the opponent's counterattack time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming continued to launch attacks around the opponent's blind spots.
In a short while, Toyama Daito found himself in the same situation as Ishida Shinsuke, unable to do anything except passively defend.
However, Qingming was not in a hurry to deal with the opponent, but took this opportunity to continuously improve his tactics.
What?
You think such a simple tactic needs to be improved?
Isn't it just using the Sharingan to force the opponent to be unable to fight normally, and then launching an attack from the blind spot of his vision?
If you really think so, then Qing Ming can only say that you think too simply of your enemy.
Which ninja who can be promoted to the rank of jonin does not have rich combat experience?
If you just rigidly follow the instructions and launch an attack from a blind spot, it will probably be cracked in a few moves, or even used in reverse.
This tactic seems simple, but it is actually very complicated.
Not only do you need to constantly judge the enemy's actions, but you also need to be able to come up with a countermeasure in an instant based on the enemy's actions.
The response here refers not only to the action of dodging, but also to go one step further, that is, to think about the counterattack after dodging.
Only in this way can you force the enemy into your rhythm, and once you make a mistake, the enemy will have the opportunity to seize it.
At that time, whether the enemy runs away or fights back, it means you have to start over.
Therefore, in order to trap the enemy, there can be no mistakes.
Obviously, to do this, the Sharingan must be used to assist, otherwise it would be impossible to make so many decisions in an instant.
But just having the Sharingan is not enough, you also need to have rich combat experience.
Otherwise, it will be useless if you fall for any fake move of the enemy.
In addition, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, you must also have a decent melee ability. In Qingming's case, it is level 5 "swordsmanship".
But even so, Qing Ming practiced for a long time before gradually mastering the tricks.
Back then, when he was still unskilled, the enemies often got rid of his rhythm.
Although these people were finally smashed to death by his ninjutsu, it was enough to show that this tactic was not so easy to master.
Even now, he could only use this tactic to deal with some mediocre jonin. When he encountered stronger jonin, he usually could not completely trap them.
Not only that, this tactic has another drawback, which is that it cannot deal with multiple enemies and can only be used to fight one person alone.
So, the limitations are still quite large.
However, it is good for honing swordsmanship.
Just like now, even without opening the panel, Qingming can clearly feel that his "swordsmanship" is slowly improving.
In fact, it was not just him, but Yuanshan Dadou on the opposite side also vaguely noticed this.
Although Qingming rated his swordsmanship as average, it was still good among the ninja community.
To be able to practice swordsmanship to this level, one must have a certain talent.
In this way, one can naturally sense the improvement in Qingming swordsmanship.
But precisely because of this, he became even more desperate, because it meant that Qing Ming was not using his full strength at all, and was just using him to practice his sword skills.
The expression on Toyama Daito's face changed again and again. He glanced at the fewer and fewer Iwagakure ninjas around him, and finally made up his mind. He ignored Qingming's attack and launched a counterattack directly.
The moment his movements changed, Qing Ming discovered something unusual.
