Chapter 242: Their respective battles
Zizizizi~ The water escape technique and the molten escape technique collided, producing a large amount of white mist.
Edge of the battlefield.
Qing Ming used all his strength to activate his Sharingan, and his eyes looked through the white mist as he watched the battle between Gamabunta and Lao Zi in the field, his thoughts racing.
In terms of power, pure water jutsu is definitely not as good as lava jutsu. In terms of chakra amount, Gamabunta is no match for Murasaki and the Four-Tails.
However, Gamabunta, who was born in Myoboku Mountain, has a large amount of fairy chakra in his body.
As we all know, Senjutsu Chakra can amplify the power of Ninjutsu.
Therefore, with its blessing, the power of the water jutsu performed by Gamabunta is no weaker than the lava jutsu performed by Lao Zi.
As for the difference in chakra, this is not very critical.
Why do I say that? First of all, Lao Zi is only half-tailed now and cannot use all the chakra of the four tails, which means he cannot gain an overwhelming advantage.
Secondly, Gamabunta is more flexible and can often dodge Lao Zi's attacks by jumping, consuming less chakra.
The last and most important point is that there is a Namikaze Minato next to him to support him, and it is impossible for Old Purple to hold the line until Gamabunta's chakra is exhausted.
So, on the whole, as long as Gamabunta can withstand Lao Shi's frontal attack, Lao Shi will definitely lose unless he completely transforms into a tailed beast.
To put it another way, even if Lao Shi completely transformed into a tailed beast, he might not be a match for Gamabunta and Namikaze Minato.
Not to mention that Gamabunta is qualified to fight the tailed beasts, even Namikaze Minato himself has not yet used his full strength.
At the very least, he still has a trick called "Sage Mode" that he hasn't used yet. Once the Sage Mode is activated, with his strength, it will be no problem for him to fight the Four-Tails head-on.
In addition, he also has an exquisite sealing technique, which is a powerful weapon against the tailed beasts.
So, there is no reason to lose.
The development of things was almost as Qingming had expected. Under the joint attack of Gamabunta and Namikaze Minato, one positive and one negative, it didn't take long for Old Zi to show signs of decline.
Initially, it can launch attacks continuously.
But as time went on, the frequency of its defense began to increase, and now it accounts for almost half.
If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.
In fact, if the Iwagakure Village did not send people to rescue him, he might have become the first Jinchūriki captured by Konoha.
As he thought this, a familiar mental force suddenly invaded Qingming's mind.
Then, a voice sounded: "Captain, there are unusual movements on the Rock Ninja side. They seem to be planning to surround you."
The voice was none other than Kiku Yamanaka, the one who had first contacted him.
After hearing the other party's words, Qingming glanced around and sure enough, more and more Rock Ninjas gathered at the edge of the battlefield, and they were clearly divided into teams.
There is no doubt that this is the prelude to the attack.
'No, we can't let them come.'
Considering the rescue measures that the Rock Ninja might take, Qingming immediately made up his mind.
He gave an order in his mind: "Kiku, organize people immediately to clean up those Iwagakure ninjas outside."
"this"
Yamanaka Kiku was a little hesitant when he heard this.
Qing Ming frowned slightly and asked directly: "Is there any problem?"
Yamanaka Kiku was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Captain, just now the Four-Tails Jinchuriki attacked the second line of defense, and we suffered heavy casualties, so..."
Before he could finish his words, Qing Ming interrupted him and said, "Didn't I tell you not to confront each other head on? Why didn't you listen?"
"Captain, it's not that we want to fight them head-on, but they are too fast. Plus, the other Rock Ninjas are blocking us, so we can't retreat."
Yamanaka Kiku said helplessly.
Hearing this, Qing Ming was silent for a moment, no longer dwelling on this question, and asked, "How many of you are left now?"
"About 60 percent."
Shan Zhongju gave a ratio, and then said: "But only about 30% can continue to fight, and the rest are seriously injured."
"In such a short time, more than half of the people were killed or injured. No wonder you are so hesitant in your words!"
Qing Ming complained in his heart. He glanced around, roughly estimated the number of Rock Ninja, and then said directly: "Let the injured stay where they are, and the rest of you follow the order immediately. I will assist you."
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing Qingming say that he would take action, Shan Zhongju immediately responded loudly.
The name of 'Ghost Sword' is not only famous among the Iwagakure ninjas, it is even more famous among the Konoha ninjas.
Therefore, after hearing that Qingming would take action personally, Shan Zhongju immediately had no worries.
The "Mind-Connecting Technique" was disconnected, and Qingming took a final glance at the battle between Lao Zi, Namikaze Minato, and Gamabunta on the field.
Then he turned and left.
As if noticing his movements, Minato Namikaze glanced at him covertly.
Then, he glanced at the increasing number of Rock Ninjas gathering around him, and then looked at the direction Qingming left. He had already guessed what he was going to do.
So, I no longer pay too much attention to it.
······at the same time.
The other side.
Somewhere in the woods.
Nagashima Tomohisa asked a special Jonin of Iwagakure beside him, "Are the other directions ready?"
Hearing this, the Iwagakure special jonin replied: "Several captains have just sent a message, and everyone will be in place within five minutes."
"Five minutes?"
Nagashima Tomohisa groaned, glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and said, "Then we'll act in five minutes!"
"Okay, I'll notify the others right away."
The Iwagakure special jonin responded and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his right hand and touched his temple, as if sensing something.
Nagashima Tomohisa noticed his abnormality, but he didn't say anything in a hurry. He waited until he put his hand down before asking, "What happened?"
"There are unusual movements by the ninjas in Konoha. They seem to be preparing to surround us. Now the troops are moving to the periphery."
This special Jonin from Iwagakure had a strange look on his face.
Hearing his words, Nagashima Tomohisa was also stunned and asked, "Do they have any support?"
"Nothing has been found yet."
The Iwagakure special jonin replied.
"Then why did they surround us?"
Nagashima Tomohisa asked in confusion.
"have no idea."
The Iwagakure special jonin replied.
For a moment, both of them were a little confused.
It's not their fault. Konoha's behavior is simply too illogical.
After the previous battle, they knew exactly how much combat power Konoha had left here, which was far less than what they had on their side.
Now there is no support. In this situation, they dare to disperse their forces to surround them. They are simply seeking death! Wait!
Nagashima Tomohisa seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said to the Iwagakure Special Jonin next to him: "Quick! Check, is Uchiha Qingming still on the battlefield?"
Hearing this, the special jonin of Iwagakure seemed to have thought of something. His face changed and he immediately cast a sensing spell.
However, after several breaths passed, he found nothing.
After a while, he put down his hand and said with an unpleasant look: "The other party disappeared. I can't sense his breath."
