Chapter 164: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
at the same time.
Other Konoha Jonins also started their own missions.
Then, we saw that some of them suddenly withdrew from the battle, then quickly dispersed and began to organize the evacuation of the Konoha's middle and lower ninjas in the field.
That's right, evacuate.
Their mission is to tie down the support forces of the Iwagakure Village, not to commit suicide. Fighting while retreating is undoubtedly the best option.
There is no point in staying here any longer, except to be made into dumplings.
And all of this was planned.
Therefore, the Konoha team reorganized very quickly. Not long after receiving the order, more than a dozen small teams with ninjas as the core were formed.
During this period, the Iwagakure junior ninjas also tried to obstruct.
However, because all of their own jonin were tied up, there was no high-end force to deal with the jonin of various Konoha teams, and there was no unified and effective command, so they did not cause much waves.
A few minutes later, the Konoha ninjas successfully escaped from the battle.
It was also at this time that the Konoha jonin who were fighting with the Iwagakure jonin began to withdraw from the battle one after another.
Most of them joined the main force and moved along with it, but a few of them, like Qingming, rushed out of the team and came to the front.
They are all members of the combat team, responsible for paving the way for the entire team.
As for why they want to "go back"?
The reason is simple. This way, when teammates from other strongholds break through the defenses of the Hidden Rock Village, they can reunite with them more quickly.
In this way, their safety can also be guaranteed.
Watching the Konoha ninjas going away, an Iwagakure Chunin looked at an Iwagakure Jonin and said, "Captain, do you still want to chase us?"
Hearing this, the Iwagakure jonin rolled his eyes and shouted, "Nonsense! Of course I'll chase him!"
After saying this, he organized the surviving Iwagakure and began to chase.
In this way, half an hour passed quickly with one chasing the other.
Qing Ming, who was marching rapidly at the front of the team, suddenly paused, then dodged and quickly retreated to the back.
The next moment, several kunai shot from the front and nailed into the branch where he had just stood.
Then, a series of "sizzling" sounds were heard, and the detonating tags tied behind the kunai began to burn rapidly.
The next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and several fireballs rose up, instantly igniting the surrounding trees.
Qingming was not injured because he dodged in time.
He stood on a tree branch, looking at the dense crowd that suddenly appeared in front of him, and immediately realized that their way was blocked.
"I just wonder if there are enemies on both wings?"
Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming took out a whistle from his arms and quickly blew it according to a certain pattern.
This whistle is specially made and the sound it produces can be heard from far away.
Therefore, as long as the secret code is agreed upon in advance, simple information can be transmitted over a certain distance.
However, the sound of this whistle is very easy to recognize, so it can only be used in a situation like now where everything is almost in the open, otherwise it will easily expose your whereabouts.
After sending the signal, Qingming put away the whistle in his hand.
In front of him, those Rock Ninjas didn't care at all about what he did, and seemed to think they had it all figured out. This gave Qingming a bad feeling.
However, he quickly put these distracting thoughts behind him and focused on dealing with the situation at hand.
His eyes swept over these Rock Ninjas, a total of twenty people, including two Jonins, eight Chunins, and ten Genins.
If there were only these people, he would still have the strength to fight, but.
Qingming looked into the distance, and through the gaps between the crowd and the woods, he could vaguely see more Rock Ninjas gathering here in the distance.
Obviously, the twenty people in front are just the vanguard, and their main force is behind them.
"In this case, we can only retreat first."
When Qing Ming thought of this, he turned around without any hesitation and planned to leave first.
But at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly came over him, making his hair stand on end. Almost instinctively, Qingming leaned back.
The next moment, a kunai with a cold glow flashed past his eyes, and the sharp aura it brought with it almost tore his face apart.
"Wind Style?!"
This thought flashed through Qingming's mind, and then he glanced at the owner of the kunai.
In just a moment, his expression froze.
There was no other reason, he knew the person who came. He was the murderer who killed Mizutani Shizuko, the young jonin of the Iwagakure Village - Ohara Hideji.
A few months ago, the Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village joined forces to raid Konoha's headquarters, causing considerable damage to Konoha.
In response, Orochimaru planned an attack on the Iwagakure Village's logistics transfer center.
It was also during that mission that Shizuko Mizutani was hit by a kunai from Ohara Hideji, which pierced her throat, and she died on the spot while trying to save him.
Until now, he still remembers the other person's last look, which was a lingering desire for life.
At that time, he made up his mind to kill Hideji Ohara and avenge him.
But at that time, his Sharingan only had a single magatama, and his expertise in 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' was only at level 3.
The other ones are the 'Magical Jar-hang Technique' and the Three-door Fire Style Ninjutsu, which are also only at level 2 and are completely useless.
Therefore, Hideji Ohara only needed to use close combat to make him lose his temper.
If it wasn't for the critical moment, the mission was over, and he escaped from the battle at the cost of being injured and came to the side of a Konoha Jonin, he would probably be dead now.
From then on, he decided that he must take revenge.
Originally, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to investigate the other party's whereabouts after the mission was completed.
I never thought that I would encounter it now.
It is true that enemies often meet on a narrow road!
As for how the other party came to him?
Qing Ming recalled the scene where the other party had just attacked him. How similar was it to the past?
Obviously, the other party probably used the stealth skill of "camouflage concealment" this time.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and raised his head in time to avoid the attack, otherwise he would have been killed instantly by the opponent.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Qing Ming looked at the person in front of him with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Being stared at like this, Hideji Ohara did not feel the slightest bit of fear, and even felt a little excited.
From the other person's gaze, Qingming knew that the other person also recognized him.
"This is the best. If the other party doesn't even remember who I am, then there's no point in killing him."
Qingming said in his heart.
At the same time, Ohara Hideji suddenly turned his wrist, retracted the kunai that was stabbed out diagonally, and then cut it horizontally, attacking his throat directly.
If it were at that time, he might not be able to react now.
But now
Qing Ming suddenly opened his Sharingan and started hypnosis. At that moment, he kicked the tree branch with both feet and retreated backwards.
When Hideji Ohara saw Qingming's blood-red three-magatama Sharingan, he immediately looked away.
During this period, although his hands did not stop moving, without visual guidance, they inevitably slowed down a bit.
At this moment, Qing Ming avoided the attack and appeared on another branch.
