Chapter 108 Guess
After separating from Kamijou Yoichi, Qingming began to search for the traces of the three Sand Village Chunins in the direction he pointed.

Thanks to his familiarity with this area and the powerful insight of the Sharingan, he soon found relevant clues.

After that, we continued chasing along these clues and finally caught up with them half an hour later.

At this time, these people were still heading towards the E12 area.

Combined with the words of the squad leader, Ukyo Tashiro's ninja dog, Qiya - there are many enemies in area E12, Qingming can see that area E12 is the focus of the Sand Ninja's attack this time.

"But why did so many Sand Ninja suddenly appear?"

Qingming couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

You know, whether it is the E12 area next door, or their E11 area, or even the entire nearby area, strictly speaking, they all belong to the second tier.

It is understandable that some infiltration troops appear occasionally, but a large-scale invasion by the enemy like now is basically unlikely.

unless
"The front line collapsed!"

Qingming was startled by the sudden thought that came to his mind, but he quickly calmed down.

If the entire line collapses, then these won’t be the only enemies left here.

By then, not to mention area E12, I'm afraid the entire area they are defending will be impacted.

But he hasn't seen any signs of that yet.

That said, the front line did not completely collapse.

But the number of enemies does exceed the size of the infiltration force.

In this case, there is only one explanation, that is, several strongholds on the front line were breached, resulting in a gap in the defense line, and some Sand Ninjas took advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

"Well, that should be it!"

Although there is no definite news yet, Qingming feels that his guess should be correct.

If this is true, then these Sand Ninjas won't be able to stay for long.

After all, as long as it doesn't collapse completely, Konoha still has the ability to retake those strongholds.

By then, it will be like closing the door and beating the dog.

If these Sand Ninjas do not want to be left here, they must withdraw before Konoha retakes those strongholds.

After thinking about this clearly, Qing Ming felt that the haze in his heart had dissipated, and the expression on his face couldn't help but relax a little.

For him, being able to maintain stability is the best outcome, because time is on his side. As long as he can hold on long enough, his strength will continue to grow.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Qing Ming looked at the three figures below, and suddenly raised his hands, completing the seals of the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' at an extremely fast speed.

Then he opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of high-temperature flames. These flames turned into dozens or hundreds of fireballs almost the moment they appeared.

Obviously, as the proficiency of 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' continues to improve, the time it takes for the flame to differentiate into a fireball is rapidly shortening.

Now, there is almost no gap between them, as if the flame turned into fireballs as soon as it left his mouth.

This seems to be similar to the initial learning of 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique'.

But don't forget, when you first learned 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique', those fireballs appeared one by one.

And now, his enemies have to face the pursuit and interception of dozens or even hundreds of fireballs at the same time.

Don't underestimate this small difference. When the enemy is dodging, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Just like now, if the three Sand Village Chunins were faced with a sneak attack from the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu' before level 2, they might still be able to avoid it safely.

Now.
It is impossible for the opponent to avoid Qingming's attack without paying some price.

Sensing the danger, the three Sand Ninjas immediately became alert and asked, "Who?"

However, before they could find Qing Ming's trace, hundreds of fireballs had already smashed towards them. The speed was so fast and the angle was so tricky that they had no choice but to dodge.

But their actions were full of loopholes in Qingming's eyes. Without thinking, Qingming controlled the fireball to surround the three people.

The first one to be hit was the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taijutsu ninja. Although the opponent was fast, it was not fast enough.

In the end, his retreat was blocked by more than a dozen fireballs, and he had to endure the attack of two fireballs, with his chest and right arm being charred.

He fell to the ground on the spot and lost his fighting ability.

The second person to be hit was the female ninja in her early twenties who was good at sonic illusion.

However, the opponent used the substitution technique at the critical moment and escaped.

As for the puppeteer
The opponent was taken special care of by Qingming. Even with the protection of the puppet, he was still hit by a fireball and suffered serious injuries.

Even the puppet was subjected to concentrated bombardment, and some damage was sustained to its body.

After a few breaths, the fireball disappeared and the scene returned to silence.

The female ninja and the puppeteer stood side by side, looking in the direction where the fireball came from, but saw nothing.

This made the two of them look quite ugly.

After a moment of silence, the female ninja suddenly nodded at the puppeteer, as if hinting at something.

Seeing this, the puppeteer immediately responded with a look of understanding, then swiftly took out two earplugs and plugged them into his own ears.

The next moment, the female ninja was seen raising her hands and forming seals quickly.

At the same time, her mouth opened slightly, apparently preparing to cast some kind of sonic illusion, attempting to force the person who was attacking her secretly to show up.

However, before she could complete the spell, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by a pair of blood-red Sharingan that occupied her entire field of vision.

"Sharingan? Genjutsu?"

Otowa was horrified and immediately tried to break the illusion.

But just as she started, she felt the chakra in her body rapidly draining away, followed by a pain in the back of her neck, and she fainted.

The person who took action was none other than Qing Ming, who had been watching secretly for a long time.

Because he didn't know how much resistance the Sharingan had to sonic illusions, he took action before his opponent could make a move.

The process was also smooth. With the perfected 'Body Instant Technique' and superb breath-concealing skills, he appeared in front of the other party without anyone noticing in the blink of an eye.

Because he was distracted by performing illusion, he had no time to react and was directly controlled by his 'Illusion Sharingan'.

The next step is to extract the chakra, knock the person out, and take him away.

During this time, the puppeteer was only concerned with escaping and had no intention of stopping the enemy at all.

It's not that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare, because he had already recognized Qing Ming's identity and knew his strength, so he didn't dare to stay for even a moment.

Unfortunately, just because he doesn't want to provoke Qingming, it doesn't mean Qingming will let him go.

After dealing with Otowa, Qingming did the same thing again. He drained the chakra from the physical ninja and knocked him unconscious, then immediately chased after the puppeteer.

Needless to say, even though the opponent had a trick up his sleeve and suddenly summoned a pretty good puppet, it still couldn't last long in Qingming's hands and soon followed in the footsteps of his two teammates.

Qing Ming looked at the three people lying unconscious on the ground and knew that the main reason these people behaved so poorly in front of him was because he had successfully launched a sneak attack.

If they had not been caught off guard at the beginning, these three people would not have been defeated so quickly and so thoroughly.

Of course, this was also because they had just had a fierce battle with three Konoha ninjas and their strength was not at its peak.

But in general, Qing Ming's strength was far beyond theirs, which was why they couldn't even put up a decent struggle.

However, both sides are enemies, and Qingming will not show mercy to them.
