Chapter 146 Fight
after an hour.

Somewhere in the woods.

Qingming's shadow clone is moving forward rapidly.

Suddenly, several subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

The shadow clone glanced back, then flashed a few times and avoided the attack of the kunai.

He stood on a tree branch, looking back vigilantly.

Swish~
Two figures appeared instantly.

They were wearing black robes and masks, and they were the Anbu captain and the female ninja codenamed Suzune.

"Iwagakure ANBU?"

The shadow clone looked at the person who came and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, neither the Anbu captain nor Ling Yin answered, but just looked at Qing Ming seriously.

After a long while, the Anbu captain said, "Uchiha Qingming, the new genius of the Uchiha clan, opened the three-magatama Sharingan at the age of eleven. Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"They figured out my true identity in such a short time. The intelligence capabilities of the five major ninja villages are indeed not to be underestimated."

Qingming felt a little alert.

You know, although he had some reputation before, looking at the whole Konoha, he was just average.

This is certainly due to his deliberate low profile, but it is undeniable that there are too many geniuses in Konoha.

With his fame, he can't even compare with Kakashi Hatake who became famous at a young age. He can't even compare with Uchiha Shisui who has recently become famous on the front battlefield.

But even so, just a few hours after his appearance was exposed, the Iwagakure Village still figured out his true identity.

Not only that, they even got some basic intelligence, which shows how strong the intelligence capabilities of the five major ninja villages are. It's no wonder that Qingming would be alert.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming suddenly opened his Sharingan, and the two Anbu ninjas who were prepared immediately looked away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming flipped his hand, and six shurikens appeared in his palm, which he then threw out instantly, shooting towards Lingyin from both sides.

As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.

So when Qingming made a move, he aimed his spearhead at Lingyin, who was weaker than him.

Sensing the danger, Lingyin dodged and left the spot, trying to avoid the shuriken attack in this way.

However, her reaction had already been taken into account by Qingming.

Phew~ Phew~
Two more shurikens flew out.

'Qing Ming' used more force this time. The two shurikens were fired later but arrived first, hitting two of the six shurikens in the air with incredible precision.

Along with the appearance of sparks, the two shurikens suddenly changed direction and collided with the other four shurikens.

In the end, eight shurikens shot towards Suzune from different directions like flowers scattered from the sky.

At this time, Lingyin's feet had just landed on the ground and it was too late for her to dodge. She had no choice but to take out the kunai and face it head-on.

It has to be said that the Anbu ninja's combat proficiency is very high. Even in such a hurry, all eight shurikens were blocked by him.

Of course, she also suffered some minor injuries - two shurikens were knocked away by the kunai and grazed her shoulders, leaving two shallow scars.

Logically speaking, Qingming should have taken advantage of the victory to expand his advantage, but he did not.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Because at the moment he made his move, the Anbu captain also made his move.

Whoosh whoosh~
Several kunai were shot straight at him.

Qing Ming's Sharingan spun rapidly, and he saw the detonating tag tied to the back at a glance.

So, without any hesitation, the moment the shuriken was thrown, the other person had already left the spot.
A violent explosion sounded.

Several flames rose up, dispelling the darkness around them.

As soon as Qingming landed, the Anbu captain and Lingyin came up from behind, sandwiching him in the middle.

Obviously, they knew how to deal with the Sharingan.

"Do it!"

Following the command from the Anbu captain, Ling Yin completed the seal 'instantly', opened her mouth, and made a piercing sound that hit Qing Ming's brain directly, making him unstable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Anbu captain immediately stepped forward and stabbed the kunai in his hand straight into Qingming's heart.

Fortunately, Qingming possessed the Sharingan, and when he used it with all his strength, the opponent's movements looked like a turtle crawling in his eyes.

'Qing Ming' suppressed the discomfort in his brain and dodged the attack of the Anbu captain, then shot out a kunai and attacked Ling Yin directly.

Suzune was forced to interrupt the jutsu, and 'Aoki' was about to give chase, but was entangled by the ANBU captain who came forward for the second time.

For a while, the sound of clanging continued in the field.

As a true jonin, this ANBU captain is very capable in all aspects. Even if his vision is blocked, he can still hold on under the repeated attacks of 'Qingming'.

Lingyin focused on assisting, using various sound wave ninjutsu one after another, greatly interfering with Qingming's movements.

'Qing Ming' tried to counterattack several times, but he never had the chance. Either the opponent was too far away for his attacks to reach, or the Anbu captain restricted his movements.

In short, I felt very uncomfortable, and was led by the two people almost the entire time.

Of course, Qingming knew that this was because he was now a shadow clone and could not be hit too hard, so he was restricted everywhere.

Otherwise, even if the two opponents were ninjas carefully selected by the Iwagakure Village and specially used to deal with him, it would be impossible for him to be so passive.

It can only be said that the 'fragility' of the shadow clone itself limits the display of his strength.

The battle was still going on, and as the battle progressed, he gradually got to know the intelligence of these two people.

First up is Suzune, who is most likely just a special jonin with average physical skills, and the only thing she can show off is a series of sonic ninjutsu.

Before, due to lack of experience, the shadow clone suffered a lot.

However, after this incident, if the main body is attacked similarly again, it should not be seriously affected as it is prepared.

The second is the Anbu captain in front of him.

The opponent is very strong. In terms of combat skills alone, his swordsmanship is above level 5. He must rely on the insight of the Sharingan to suppress the opponent.

In addition, he is also proficient in a defensive earth-style ninjutsu, which allows him to complete the technique the moment he is attacked, strengthening his skin to a level that is difficult to penetrate by swords.

Unless Qing Ming fully masters the changes in the form and nature of wind-attribute chakra and is able to integrate wind-style chakra into the dagger to enhance the attack power, it will be difficult to break through its defense.

Of course, if there is no one to interfere, he can also try to use the Sharingan to briefly influence the opponent, causing him to reveal a flaw, and then kill him with one blow.

But no matter which one it is, it is destined not to be easy.

It is obvious that the strength of this Iwagakure Anbu has surpassed the level of ordinary jonin, but as to whether he has reached the elite level, Qingming does not know.

Firstly, he had never fought against ninjas of this level, so he didn't know how strong they were, so it was difficult to compare.

Second, he was not sure whether the Iwagakure Anbu in front of him was hiding something.

Logically speaking, when a ninja reaches the level of a jonin, he or she will be proficient in at least two chakra attributes.

But the Iwagakure Anbu in front of him did not perform any other types of ninjutsu except earth-style ninjutsu.

Therefore, Qingming didn't know how strong the other party really was.
