Chapter 172 Chase and Escape

Although he successfully forced Qing Ming to retreat, Han did not continue to attack. Instead, he rushed more than ten meters away and stopped.

He stood there, looking at Qingming, his eyes full of vigilance.

There was no way. Whether it was the previous sneak attack with kunai and ninjutsu, or the incredibly precise sword just now, they both made him feel quite threatened.

Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Now, he just wanted to wait for the other six teammates to arrive, and then kill Qingming together.

It has to be said that Han is different from many other Chuuriki. Although he is very powerful, he is extremely cautious.

When he realized that it might be dangerous to face Qingming alone, he immediately chose a more conservative option - waiting for support from his teammates.

However, the other party can delay time, but Qingming cannot.

The pupils in the Sharingan turned slightly, and Qingming glanced at something farther away with his peripheral vision.

I saw that the other six Rock Ninjas were rapidly approaching this side along the path that Han had just opened up.

Although Qingming was confident in his own strength, it was impossible for him to face seven jonin at the same time, not to mention that there was a jinchūriki among them.

so.
'You have to evacuate first!'

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming kicked the ground hard and quickly rushed backwards.

Seeing this, Han followed without any hesitation.

He was cautious, but not cowardly. Seeing Qingming escaping, he naturally followed him.

Steam was seen all over his body, and the red armor was impacted by the high-temperature steam, making its color appear even brighter.

And his speed was getting faster and faster due to the help of the armor, and the distance between him and Qingming was getting shorter and shorter.

Just as he was about to be caught up, Qing Ming suddenly turned his head, raised his hands and formed a seal. A powerful eye power emanated from his Sharingan, and an inexplicable mental pressure swept across the entire audience.

"what?"

Feeling this pressure, Han was shocked and his pupils shrank slightly. Why did he feel that Qingming's Sharingan was so terrifying?

It’s not like he had never fought against the Uchiha clan’s senior ninjas before, but those people’s three-magatama Sharingan didn’t give him such a big pressure, right?

What on earth is going on with this little kid in front of me?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Han's heart was full of doubts, but no matter how he thought about it, there was no answer.

'Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore.'

With this thought in mind, Han reached out and lowered the hat on his head so that it just blocked his vision and avoided looking at Qingming.

And Qingming was waiting for this opportunity. At the moment when the opponent blocked his sight, he changed the hand seals of his hands, and changed the 'Magic·Jag-hang Technique' that he was about to perform into the 'Fire Style·Great Fireball Technique'.

At this moment, if someone who understands this illusion and ninjutsu saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim that it is impossible.

Because these are two completely different techniques, it is impossible to achieve a seamless transition.

Indeed, most people cannot do this.

But Qingming is different. He has already mastered the 'Magic·Jail Art' to the perfect level of lv5 (0/0), and can send and receive as he pleases.

At the same time, he also mastered the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' to level 4, and his proficiency level was also not low.

This, coupled with the understanding of Fire Style brought by the level 4 'Chakra Control' and the perfect state 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique', allowed him to do things like seamlessly switching hand seals.

Because of this, his move of 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' was performed extremely suddenly.

By the time Han realized something was wrong, a huge fireball with a diameter of three meters had already come close to him.

Feeling the terrifying high temperature coming from it, Han knew that he could not resist it. At the critical moment, Han shouted loudly, and a large amount of high-temperature steam suddenly spurted out from the gap in the armor on his right arm.

With the help of the reverse thrust generated by the high-temperature steam, he moved sideways several meters and finally passed by the fireball, avoiding the attack.

Seeing that the plan was about to fail, Qingming immediately controlled the fireball to explode.

The next moment, a terrifying high-temperature flame accompanied by a strong shock wave attacked Han from the left rear.

In just a moment, Han was blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

But he got up again soon, and judging by his swift movements, he obviously did not suffer any serious injuries.

Even the high-temperature flames were blocked by the steam armor covering his entire body.

Qing Ming was not too surprised about this.

The opponent's armor can even withstand such terrifying high-temperature steam, so it is not difficult to block the impact of the "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique".

Qing Ming raised his head and glanced at the six Rock Ninjas who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and knew that he could not stay any longer.

So, he threw several kunai with explosive tags on them at the man who had just stood up, then turned around and continued to flee.

Although it seemed that he threw these kunai randomly, he did not do so in fact.

Relying on the powerful insight of the Sharingan, the kunai he threw almost all got stuck in very uncomfortable places on Han, making it impossible for him to chase in the first place.

Boom boom boom~
A loud explosion sounded behind him.

After a moment, there was the "woooo" sound of Han using steam to accelerate.

Qing Ming listens to the sound and determines the location. When he determines that Han is about to approach, he will turn around and attack him, and the first move is definitely an illusion.

This forced Han to block his vision.

And once the opponent really did this, he would immediately change his strategy, changing the illusion into ninjutsu, or throwing ninja tools or setting traps.

In short, use various means to prevent the other party from getting close.

Because Han was very afraid of Qingming's Sharingan, he was fooled by him every time.

This resulted in him having great strength but being unable to display it, and ultimately he could only be led by Qing Ming.

Of course, the other party had thought about resisting, but whenever he felt the pressure emanating from the Qingming Sharingan, he would unconsciously avoid sight.

His intuition told him that if he really fell into an illusion, he would definitely not end up well off, so he didn't dare to try it.

There is also the Five-Tails, who also seems to be very afraid of Qingming's Sharingan, which makes him even more afraid to act rashly.

So, the two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, ran rapidly in the forest, approaching the location of the Konoha army.

As for the six people at the back, seeing that Qingming and Han were in a stalemate, they didn't even think about speeding up to provide support, and they just hung on there slowly.

At first, Qingming didn't understand what they meant, but after thinking about it, he realized that the other party wanted to follow him to find Konoha's main force.

After realizing this, Qing Ming ignored these people.

The fact that several of the other people appeared here showed that his premonition was correct, and it also proved that there was someone spying in the dark, and it was possible that he was a ninja from the Iwagakure Village.

In this way, the location of the large force cannot be concealed. At most, the opponent's intelligence was not transmitted in a timely manner, and the latest location has not yet been grasped.

In this case, there is no harm in letting them follow. They will just discover the location of the main force a little earlier.

Maybe, they can create a time difference and eliminate these people!
However, Qingming seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, there were also pursuers from the Hidden Rock Village behind them.

And this is bound to have some impact on his plans.
