Chapter 171: Boiling Escape
Time goes back half a minute.
The seven-member Iwagakure team was rushing through the forest.
Suddenly, the leading man stopped.
Seeing this, the others also stopped.
"What's wrong, Han?"
One person asked.
Han raised his hand, signaling the other party to be quiet, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in the chakra in his body.
Seeing Qingming's firm attitude, Hinata Linghuo glanced at the man who was approaching rapidly in the distance.
······
Ten seconds later.
If he saw it correctly, the three kunai hit the opponent's arm and should have created a few sparks.
"It seems that a simple kunai attack is useless."
Looking at the man who was quickly passing by, Qingming suddenly drew out his dagger. The magatama in his pupils spun rapidly, instantly locking onto the gap in the opponent's armor and stabbing with the dagger.
So, without saying anything, he rushed over.
Then he estimated his own speed and Hinata Linghuo's speed, as well as the distance between them and Han.
A large amount of steam gushed out from the gaps in Han's armor and headed straight for Qingming's face.
A few seconds later, a ray of dark red chakra suddenly emerged from his body. The ominous aura it exuded made the six people around him involuntarily take a step back.
Han rushed straight at him, but only hit the afterimage he left behind.
In this way, it is naturally impossible to be caught off guard by the other party.
It just so happened that he also wanted to test the opponent's strength.
Chi Chi Chi~
There was a sound like a gas leak.
It turned out that his preparation was not in vain.
Just now, with the help of the Five-Tails' chakra, he sensed the source of that prying gaze.
Then, Han stopped releasing chakra, and the armor shrank accordingly. In the process of expansion and contraction, tiny gaps appeared between the steel wire and the surface of the armor.
Qing Ming used the steel wire to control the second batch of three kunai, letting them fly past Han's body.
With this thought in mind, Qing Ming said to Hinata Linghuo, "The enemy is too fast. I will stay here to stop them for a while. You rush back and report the intelligence here."
But the problem was that Qingming was already forming hand seals, obviously about to perform some kind of ninjutsu.
Then, he escaped from the steel wire like a loach, leaving only a stone in its place.
Unexpectedly, it was all just a false alarm. The dark red chakra only appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared quietly.
In fact, if the opponent's attack really hit him, he might really be killed.
Qing Ming looked at the tall figure with steam all over his body, rushing forward, and muttered to himself: "Is this the boiling escape? It's really domineering!"
Seeing this scene, Han was a little surprised and didn't know what Qingming was going to do.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han formed seals with his hands and performed the "Substitution Technique".
As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, and the three magatama in his pupils spun rapidly, as if he was about to perform some kind of illusion.
After saying that, he entered the Boiling Escape state without caring about the reactions of the other six teammates.
Then, three "ding ding ding" sounds were heard, and three kunai were actually knocked away.
Then, a force spread along the steel wire and finally reached the three kunai at the other end.
As a result, the steel wire wrapped around the armor was forced to stretch a little.
"Huh?"
It may sound like a long process, but it actually happened in a flash.
By the time Han realized something was wrong, the first three kunai had already appeared in front of him.
At this time, Han had come to a place less than thirty meters away from him. Seeing his appearance, he immediately lowered his hat to block his vision.
If this sword hits, even if Han doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that it was impossible for them to meet up with the main force before the other side caught up with them if they ran like this.
There was no other reason. The three kunai flew behind him, suddenly crossed each other, turned back, crossed again, and finally tightened suddenly, trapping him in place.
"Hurry up and don't waste time."
'Fortunately, I was prepared!'
He raised his chakra to boiling point in one breath, then used the steam to propel his armor, thereby driving himself forward, and rapidly approached Qingming's location.
Feeling the extremely high temperature in the steam, Qing Ming's face suddenly changed. He didn't dare to resist, so he had to quickly put away his sword and jumped backwards.
However, Qing Ming stopped casting the spell before the flames could continue to burn.
But the next moment, his expression changed.
Han opened his eyes again, glanced at the four people who were preparing to seal, and then said, "Someone was spying on me just now, which caused dissatisfaction in the guy inside me."
His thoughts raced, Qing Ming's hands trembled, and three imperceptible steel wires appeared.
And almost at the moment he escaped, Qingming performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!
I saw three lines of fire moving rapidly forward along the steel wire, engulfing the man not far away in the blink of an eye.
When Hinata Linghuo heard this, his expression froze. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Qingming.
Seeing him leave, Qingming twisted his neck and said, "Let me see the strength of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"
The next moment, a "woooo" sound came from the side, and along with it came a sharp sound of wind.
Although their mission on this trip was to assist Han and prevent Qingming and others from leaving, they also had another very important task, which was to keep an eye on Han.
That's right, these second batch of three kunai are all tied with steel wires at the back, the purpose of which is to prevent the simple kunai attack from failing to break through the defense.
Even the four special jonin were ready to take action and perform sealing techniques specifically designed to deal with the Five-Tails.
In that case, there is no need to escape mindlessly.
However, Han did not panic at all. He just raised his right arm and blocked it forward.
So, they kept their eyes on each other.
After saying that, he used the "Telekinesis Technique" and moved away from Qingming.
Without any hesitation, Han immediately mobilized the chakra in his body, instantly raised it to boiling point, and then released it.
Looking at the Han going away, the other six people looked at each other, and then chased after him together.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qing Ming pushed the ground with his feet and instantly retreated backwards.
If it were just that, it would be fine. He is wearing armor and is not afraid of the harm from these steel wires.
Seeing this, Qing Ming smiled slightly, suddenly put down his hands that were forming seals, then quickly took out six kunai from his ninja tool bag and shot them directly at Han in two batches.
Qingming glanced and saw a tall red figure rushing towards him. The terrifying power seemed to want to crush him to death.
Therefore, the moment he sensed the danger, Han almost instinctively used the power of Boiling Release and ejected a large amount of chakra from his body.
The next moment, the full body armor worn by Han was slightly expanded by the high-temperature steam.
But is this possible?
Qing Ming had already locked onto the opponent's whereabouts when the opponent used the 'Substitution Technique' to dodge his 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' attack.
"But."
Seeing this scene, Qingming's pupils shrank slightly. He did not expect that the opponent's armor was so hard.
Although Han's condition has become very stable and he has no second thoughts about the village, he is still a Jinchūriki after all and cannot escape from control no matter what.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't fight him head-on. There are six people approaching behind him. I will bring people here as soon as possible."
Despite this, he was still affected by some of the high-temperature steam, and in an instant, dense blisters appeared on his face and arms.
Feeling the burning sensation coming from these blisters, Qing Ming frowned. The opponent's difficulty was beyond his expectations.
