Chapter 222 Retreat
Ding~
A crisp sound of metal collision was heard.
Qing Ming swung the dagger in his hand and accurately blocked the kunai that Si Guang stabbed at him.
Originally, Qingming thought that the two sides would remain deadlocked for a while.
Unexpectedly, Si Guang would be withdrawn at the first touch.
Then, he used the reaction force from the sword blade, turned around, and ran towards another battlefield without looking back.
The whole process was so smooth, without any drag.
This made Qing Ming stunned.
The opponent was so fierce just now that he thought he was going to fight him head-on, and he was even prepared for it.
"That's it?"
A big question mark popped up above Qingming's head.
However, it must be said that being able to deceive the Sharingan's powerful insight and prevent him from realizing his true intentions in the first place was also a skill of the other party.
Shaking his head, Qingming did not choose to chase the other party, but instead shifted his attention to the surviving Iwagakure Chunin nearby.
It can be seen that the "strategic transfer" of the team leader made these people all confused and at a loss, and it seemed that they might flee at any time.
And Qingming's focused gaze was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
They had witnessed Qing Ming's cruelty before and would never dare to confront him.
So, when Qingming looked at them, these people could no longer hold on, gave up their opponents, and scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, Qing Ming didn't say anything. He flashed and grabbed several people in succession like catching chickens and drained their chakra.
Feeling the chakra in his body almost overflowing, Qingming found another place under the pretext of searching for the enemy. He spent more than twenty minutes converting about 16,000 points of chakra in his body into the proficiency of the "Palm Immortal Technique".
After doing all this, he attacked again and came to the battlefield of another blocking battle.
There is no Qingming to disrupt here, so the battle situation is very tense.
Qing Ming did not wait too long. After seeing the opportunity, he immediately took action. In the blink of an eye, he subdued several Iwagakure middle-level ninjas.
The 'Chakra Absorption Technique' was performed, and Qingming used both hands at the same time. It took less than ten seconds to drain their chakra.
Finally, before the leading jonin arrived, they broke free from the entanglement and left the battlefield.
Of course, not everyone is a coward like Si Guang, but no matter how radical they are, they dare not chase into the depths of the jungle alone.
Because that is not courage, but suicide.
It was with the help of this point that Qingming was able to jump back and forth and succeed many times.
Unconsciously, he had accumulated more than 160,000 chakra points, and the proficiency of the Palm Immortal Technique had reached level 6 (9120/10000)! Next, as long as he gained another 130,000 chakra points, his Palm Immortal Technique would be successfully promoted.
Just when Qingming was planning to make another effort and gather all the chakra needed for the follow-up, the Iwagakure Village suddenly withdrew its troops.
That's right, it means withdrawing troops.
Not only them, but also the Rock Ninjas that attacked the mountain in the north and those that besieged Fengliu Town below all withdrew.
Standing on the treetop, with the help of the dim light in the early morning, Qingming looked at the Rock Ninjas retreating in an orderly manner below, knowing that this battle was far from over.
It was obvious that the entire army of the Iwagakure Village was mobilized last night in an attempt to capture them in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the appearance of Minato Namikaze shattered their fantasy.
Now, after several hours of fierce fighting in the second half of the night, they have faced the reality and know that the goal cannot be achieved.
So, we chose to retreat.
It is foreseeable that there will not be such a large-scale attack again in the future.
As long as the Iwagakure Village does not intend to wipe them out in one go, then for the ninjas, attacking in small groups is far more effective than attacking in one go with a large force.
But there is no doubt that this is not conducive to Qingming's acquisition of chakra.
Because in this way, the proportion of Jonin in the Rock Ninja team will increase rapidly. Although it will not pose much threat to him, it will be unlikely to succeed as easily as last night. However, this will not have much impact on the promotion of the "Palm Immortal Art".
Just 130,000 chakra points. Even without the additional chakra replenishment, relying solely on his own recovery ability, it would take him just over three days to accumulate enough chakra. There is no need to worry about it taking too long.
As for what happens after that, we'll have to take it one step at a time.
After observing for a while, Qingming withdrew his gaze, then jumped down from the treetop and returned to the camp.
After handing over the task of counting the battle losses to other jonin, Qingming went straight to the place where the wounded were placed.
Then he began to use his medical ninjutsu to treat these people, and at the same time he improved his proficiency in the 'Palm Immortal Technique'.
The morning passed quickly.
Although the Iwagakure Village had retreated, Konoha did not relax at all. Everyone was on high alert, ready to deal with the next battle at any time.
It turns out that their vigilance was not wrong.
Just after the morning, the Iwagakure Village launched another attack.
The opponent's choice was similar to what Qingming expected. They indeed formed small teams and launched an attack on the Fengliu Town stronghold.
Seeing this, Konoha did not choose to retreat, but instead sent out small teams to fight with the Iwagakure ninjas.
This time, the entire battlefield expanded to a radius of five kilometers, with battles everywhere and the scene was quite tragic.
The Iwagakure Village has more people, and can often form a situation of outnumbering the enemy. However, although Konoha has fewer people, its average combat power exceeds that of the Iwagakure.
Therefore, even if you are outnumbered, you can often achieve similar results.
As a result, the battle situation came to a stalemate here.
Now, they can only compete in attrition to see which side can't hold on first.
······In a blink of an eye, several hours passed.
It was getting close to evening.
The battle finally subsided, and the ninjas on both sides returned to their base camp exhausted and began to take a rest.
On the high mountains in the west, Qingming also went through several fierce battles, but unfortunately he did not gain much chakra.
As for the first reason, it is that his body can only accommodate a limited amount of chakra.
However, the battles were too frequent and he had no time to digest the chakra, so naturally he could not obtain more.
The second is the deliberate targeting of the Iwagakure Village.
The opponent seemed to have known that he could absorb other people's chakra, so he would pay special attention to this during the battle.
Once they discovered that he was trying to absorb chakra, they would immediately kill the captured Iwagakure, or use powerful ninjutsu to interrupt his movements.
In short, he won't be able to obtain chakra comfortably.
This made Qingming feel sick.
The key is that he has no way to deal with the other party.
Because the jonin he faced always appeared in pairs at least.
In this situation, if he didn't use his full strength, he wouldn't be able to kill the opponent easily.
However, if he used his full strength, he would attract the support of the nearby Iwagakure jonin, and he would still not be able to kill the enemy.
In short, it's very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was strong enough and didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he just wasted time.
By the way, you can also brush up your proficiency in swordsmanship.
