Chapter 126 Kirigakure Anbu
Nourishing~
The dagger and kunai collided, making a harsh friction sound, and sparks burst between the blades, which was enough to show the strength of both sides.

During the stalemate, Qingming looked up.

Under the black robe was a pale mask, and on the mask were four twisted lines shaped like flowing water, which was the symbol of the Hidden Mist Village.

Combined with the other party's attire, it is not difficult to guess that he should be an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

And just as Qingming was sizing up the other person, this Kirigakure Anbu member was also sizing up him.

Qing Ming seized the opportunity, and at the moment the two looked at each other, he suddenly opened the Sharingan and activated the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan at the same time.

That’s right, Qingming had never opened the Sharingan before.

This wasn't because he had a special trick up his sleeve for the Kirigakure Anbu in front of Yin Yan, but after his Sharingan evolved to three magatama, he could no longer gain further evolutionary degrees by opening his eyes and wasting time.

In order to avoid wasting chakra, he had long ago stopped keeping the Sharingan open for long periods of time.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no calculation involved at all.

Qingming had thought about how to maximize the effectiveness of the Sharingan a long time ago.

The answer is surprise.

Therefore, Qingming did not open the Sharingan, not only to save chakra, but also to catch the opponent off guard.

It turned out that he was right.

For example, now, Qing Ming suddenly opened his Sharingan and used his hypnotic ability. The Kirigakure Anbu had no time to react and were hit on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming turned his wrist, and the dagger brushed past the opponent's kunai, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the opponent's chest.

In fact, Qing Ming could aim at the opponent's carotid artery, but in order to save the opponent's life, he did not choose to attack his vital points.

stab~
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.

Qingming's dagger slashed across the chest of the Kirigakure Anbu, leaving a shallow scar.

Yes, just shallow scars.

Qingming saw clearly that at the critical moment just now, the other party broke free from the hypnotic effect of the Sharingan, and then almost instinctively took a half step back.

It was this half step that saved him from suffering only minor injuries, even though he should have been seriously injured.

The Kirigakure Anbu ignored the injury on his chest and looked at Qingming warily. After a while, he said, "Sharingan? A ninja from the Uchiha clan?"

His voice came through the mask, sounding a little muffled.

Hearing this, Qing Ming said nothing more and immediately cancelled the "transformation technique", turning back into his original appearance when he was eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing Qingming was so young, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Kirigakure Anbu, but he quickly covered it up.

Then, he said, "Why did you pretend to be an Iwagakure and lure me here?"

'What? Batteries, of course!'

After muttering something in his mind, Qing Ming rushed forward, swinging the dagger in his hand continuously, directly hitting the vital points of the Kirigakure Dark Department.

Although the Kirigakure Anbu seemed to be talking just now, they were actually not relaxing at all.

So, the moment Qingming made his move, he reacted and instantly swung out the kunai in his hand to block the attack from Qingming.

For a while, the field was filled with the sound of clanging, and Qingming's level 5 "swordsmanship" was so powerful.

Combined with the three-magatama Sharingan, it only took dozens of moves to overwhelm the Kirigakure Anbu.

huh~
Another sword thrust out, and the Kirigakure Anbu was a little slow to dodge, leaving a deep scar on his shoulder from Qingming.

This is not finished!
Then, at the moment when their eyes met, Qing Ming sheathed his sword, formed a seal, and performed the 'Illusion Sharingan' at the fastest speed in one go.

Although the power of this 'Illusion Sharingan' was average due to the short preparation time, it still caused the Kirigakure Anbu to lose consciousness for a short time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qing Ming swung his sword and cut off a large piece of flesh from the opponent's left arm.

If he had not woken up at the last moment and dodged, what fell would probably not be just a piece of meat.

After all, Qingming's target just now was his entire arm.

"We can't go on like this." The Kirigakure Anbu was worried.

He had already seen that Qing Ming's swordsmanship level was very high, and in close combat, it was difficult for him to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

With the addition of the Sharingan, he is even less of a match.

If this kind of fighting continues, there will be no other outcome except for him to be worn out to death.

He even had a vague feeling that Qing Ming seemed to be holding back intentionally, otherwise the other party would have had a chance to strike his fatal parts when he was hit.

However, the fact is that the opponent's attacks could indeed seriously injure him, but they would not be fatal.

"What does the other party want to do? Capture me alive?"

The Kirigakure Anbu was confused and thought about it for a long time, but still could not come to a conclusion.

So, he stopped thinking about it and started thinking about how to use this to get out of his current predicament.

'Perhaps, I can only take a gamble.'

After thinking for a long time, the Kirigakure Anbu made up his mind.

Two minutes later.

When Qingming found another opportunity and stabbed out with his sword.

The Kirigakure Anbu did not dodge to the sides as he expected, but took the sword head-on and took the opportunity to forcefully distance themselves.

Seeing this, Qingming's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a step to catch up.

But at this moment, the Kirigakure Anbu, who had been prepared, took out three smoke bombs from their ninja tool bag and smashed them to the ground.

The next moment, the smoke dispersed, obscuring Qingming's vision.

When he approached carefully, the Kirigakure Anbu had already completed the hand seals and performed the Kirigakure Village's signature ninjutsu - Water Style: Kirigakure Jutsu!
In just a blink of an eye, a thick layer of white fog gathered around, greatly restricting Qingming's Sharingan.

This shows that the opponent has no lack of experience in fighting against the Sharingan.

This is also consistent with some of the situations he has learned.

For example, most of the middle and upper-level ninjas of the Uchiha clan were assigned to the battlefield to fight against the Mist and Sand ninjas.

You know, both of them have ways to deal with the Sharingan. The former is the "Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique", and the latter is the mechanical puppet.

If Qingming says there is no trick here, he won’t believe it even if he kills him.

It is obvious that the village is deliberately weakening the strength of the Uchiha clan.

So do the Uchiha top brass know this?

The answer is obvious.

However, in the face of justice, the Uchiha clan could not refuse. In addition, most of the Uchiha ninjas were not afraid of fighting, so they obeyed the village's orders.

But this undoubtedly exacerbated the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.

As for being forced to move away from the core area of ​​the village after the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion, that was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it and turned to look at the thick fog around him.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that the Kirigakure Anbu was hiding nearby, like a seasoned hunter, waiting for the moment when he revealed a flaw.

However, Qingming did not want to play the game of 'hide and seek' with the other party. After all, this place was within the territory of the Land of Earth and not far from the battlefield. Over time, accidents were bound to happen.

So, it’s better to solve it as soon as possible!

With this thought, Qing Ming raised his hands, quickly completed the seal, opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled mixed with wind chakra.

This was no other ninjutsu, but the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' that he had mastered to level 3 (410/1000).

As soon as this technique was used, the surrounding thick fog was immediately dispersed. When the hurricane stopped, there was no white fog left in the field.
