Chapter 210 Situation

Seeing that Shou had disappeared, Qingming was about to look for him.

But at this moment, his teammate suddenly let out a scream.

Qing Ming looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that his left arm below the elbow had completely disappeared, and he was now desperately dodging attacks from other people.

Qing Ming thought for a while, and finally decided to give up looking for Shou's trace, then he used a "telekinesis" to quickly come to his teammates.

Ding Ding Ding ~
Qingming waved the kunai in his hand and blocked the attacks of several surrounding rock ninjas.

Then, he used a 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to directly control the person closest to him.

At the same time, he took out a detonating tag from his ninja tool bag and stuck it on the rock ninja like lightning.

Zizzi~
The detonating talisman burned quickly, making a slight sound.

"careful!"

A sharp-eyed Iwagakure ninja noticed Qingming's actions, so he shouted loudly to warn his companions.

When the others saw this, they quickly scattered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming grabbed his teammate's arm, pushed the ground with his feet, and retreated several meters away from the motionless Rock Ninja.

Boom~
A violent explosion sounded.

A ball of fire suddenly appeared, and faintly, painful wails could be heard from it. The sound lasted for a while before gradually disappearing.

"hateful!"

Seeing this, a Iwagakure jonin cursed and shouted at Qingming who was running away, "Chase him!"

Upon hearing this, a group of Rock Ninjas immediately chased after Qingming.

Qingming couldn't run fast since he was carrying someone with him.

So, he turned around and stopped, releasing the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to control an Iwagakure ninja while quickly forming seals with both hands.

Seeing this, the Iwagakure jonin immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

At the same time, he also began to make hand seals, as if intending to use ninjutsu to counter ninjutsu.

However, Qingming's speed was so fast that he completed the seal in almost the blink of an eye, then he opened his mouth and spit out a huge fireball.

Looking at the huge fireball coming towards him, the Iwagakure Jonin had no choice but to give up casting the spell and scatter like everyone else.

Boom~
The fireball exploded, and the shock wave, carrying high-temperature flames, quickly spread in all directions, igniting a large area of ​​nearby jungle and dispersing the Rock Ninja team even further.

Seeing this, Qing Ming did not pause at all, and formed hand seals again, performing another fire ninjutsu at a dazzling speed - Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!

In an instant, balls of fire like Impatiens seeds spurted out of his mouth, densely packed like flowers scattered by a fairy. Controlled by him, they smashed towards the Rock Ninjas.

The Rock Ninjas were originally running away, but were suddenly attacked by these fireballs. Many of them were unable to react and were hit in the body.

Immediately, someone let out a scream.

Then the second and third person
Seeing that Qingming had injured so many of them in such a short time with just one attack, those Iwagakure jonin could no longer sit still and began to use ninjutsu to fight back.

Seeing this, Qingming remained calm. Relying on the powerful insight brought by the Sharingan, he easily avoided the attacks of these ninjutsu.

Then, he used Wind Style: Great Breakthrough again to stop the Rock Ninja's pursuit, and left with his injured teammates.

The strong wind stopped, but the Iwagakure jonin still wanted to organize people to continue the pursuit.

But at this moment, Shou suddenly emerged from underground and said, "Don't chase me."

"team leader!"

When several people saw Shou appear, they greeted him first, then asked unwillingly: "Captain, are you going to let them go just like that?"

"Let go? No!"

Shou shook his head and said, "Just save their lives temporarily."

"Can"

One person wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shou.

He only said: "With our current strength, we are not enough to stop the two opponents, especially Uchiha Qingming.

His strength is not simple, and continuing to entangle will only cause meaningless casualties. "At this point, he paused, looked back from a distance, and then continued: "Calculating the time, the village should have blocked their retreat.

Next, we just need to provide the village with information on the movements of Konoha's main force, and then wait patiently for the encirclement of the village to be completed.

By then, they can be easily caught in one fell swoop.

So, there is no need to sacrifice more people now.”

After hearing what he said, several jonin thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense, so they said no more.

······
at the same time.

the other side.

After several minutes of sprinting, Qingming and his teammates finally returned to the base camp.

However, the atmosphere here was not quite what they expected.

Before they could get close, they were stopped by someone. After a detailed inspection, they were allowed to approach the main force.

Qingming and the Konoha Jonin who was traveling with him looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

The main force suddenly became so defensive, there must have been a problem. It just so happened that their group had just encountered a squad of Rock Ninjas not long ago.

There are several other reconnaissance teams like theirs.

"Could it be that"

Qingming had some guesses in his mind.

Then, I felt even more depressed.

If his guess is true, then the road ahead will be difficult.

Just as he was lost in thought, Nara Surabaya and several jonin arrived.

They looked at Qingming, who had lost his main weapon, and his fellow jonin who had lost half of his forearm, and asked, "Did you encounter the enemy as well?"

"also?"

Qing Ming keenly caught this key word, thinking that his premonition was about to come true, so he decisively asked: "Did other groups also discover it?"

"Ah."

Nara Sishui nodded and said in a deep voice: "Before you, three groups have returned and all discovered the small group of Iwagakure.

另外
There are two other groups that have completely lost contact. We suspect they have been killed. You are the fourth group to return."

"Is this so"

Qing Ming groaned for a moment, then gave a brief account of what had happened to him and his fellow jonin.

When they heard about Shou's strength, they all took a deep breath and thought to themselves that it was fortunate that it was Qingming who was sent in this direction.

Otherwise, they might have lost two more people.

After everyone summarized all the information, they could basically conclude that they had been targeted by the Rock Ninja.

Moreover, this was not a sudden target, the Iwagakure ninja must have planned it in advance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deploy personnel on their route so early in the morning.

Originally, they were glad that the Rock Ninja did not attack them last night, but now it seems that they were too happy too early.

The reason why the Rock Ninja did not launch a surprise attack on them last night was probably because the location of their stronghold was too special.

In addition, the overall strength of their stronghold is very strong. If they attack rashly and are delayed, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of other strongholds and even lead to a siege.

Therefore, the Iwagakure Village did not include their stronghold in the first batch of attack lists.

However, the other party had no intention of letting them go.

As a result, not long after the battle in other strongholds ended, they were targeted.

It can be predicted that the Iwagakure Village must be making intensive preparations now, and once the preparations are completed, they will surely be faced with a catastrophic disaster.
