Chapter 213 The Final Obstacle
In a flash, several hours passed.

It's evening.

It started to rain heavily.

Qing Ming and others came to a jungle in the rain.

After all the fighting and fleeing along the way, everyone is exhausted and in urgent need of rest.

"Qingshan!"

Nara Sishui looked at Hinata Aoyama beside him and spoke.

Hinata Aoyama understood what he meant, nodded, forced himself to be alert, put his hands on his chest, and opened his Byakugan again.

The next moment, veins popped out on both sides of his eyes, and everything within a kilometer around him came into his field of vision.

After a while, he closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "There are no large enemy forces within a kilometer radius, only some scattered ninjas are watching."

"very good!"

Hearing this, Nara Sishui breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qingming and said, "Qingming, I'll leave those monitors to you. Qingshan, you assist."

"it is good."

Hinata Aoyama responded, while Qingming said nothing and walked straight out of the team.

The continuous killings had exhausted him physically and mentally, and Qingming didn't want to say another word now.

Seeing Qingming leave, Nara Sishui nodded at Hinata Aoyama, motioning him to follow.

Soon, the two left the main group.

Well.
To call it a large force is actually a bit of a misnomer.

Over the past day, they had barely stopped running to avoid being delayed and surrounded.

However, by doing so, the marching speed was increased, but it also meant that many Konoha ninjas who were entangled along the way could not get help, and were ultimately captured or killed by the Iwagakure ninjas who rushed over.

Therefore, the team suffered serious casualties.

Compared to the beginning, the number of people in their team is now only about half, which can hardly be called a large force.

······
About a quarter of an hour later.

Qingming walked back from the other side.

His expression was still numb. When he saw Nara Surabaya, he just nodded at him without saying much.

In the back, Hinata Aoyama said, "All surveillance points within a one-kilometer radius have been eliminated. We will have at least half an hour to rest."

Having a small number of people also has its advantages, that is, the escape speed is fast enough and the large group of Iwa Ninjas cannot catch up at all.

Now, the surveillance point is gone and it is raining heavily, so it will take even more effort for the Rock Ninja to find them.

Of course, the premise is that they do not rest here. After all, the situation here has most likely been reported by the Iwa Ninjas who are responsible for surveillance.

So, if you want to rest, you have to travel for a while longer.

So, Konoha's team set off again quickly.

Not long after they left, several more Iwagakure reconnaissance teams arrived here.

They carefully identified the traces on the ground, and then chased in the direction Qingming and others left.

And behind them was the large group of Iwagakure.

Now, the Rock Ninjas have more than just three teams of one hundred people. After a day of pursuit and interception, their number has exceeded seven hundred.

Even this was the result of Qingming and others killing a lot of people along the way, otherwise there would be more.

They checked the marks left by the reconnaissance team, and then chased in the direction Qing Ming and others left.

In this way, the two sides fought with wits and courage, you chased me and I fled, and an evening passed quickly.

······
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming and the others looked at the more than one hundred Rock Ninjas blocking the road ahead with rather ugly expressions.

It seemed that they were about to escape the pursuit of the Rock Ninja and enter the radiation range of the Fengliu Town stronghold, but suddenly a group of people came to block their way. No one would be happy.

If it was just an ordinary team of a hundred people, it would be fine. Although they only have about the same number of people left, they have absolute confidence that they can defeat the opponent.

But these Rock Ninjas in front of him were not ordinary. Not to mention that there were hardly any Genin among them, their spirit and energy alone were not comparable to that of an ordinary ninja team.

There is no doubt that this is an elite team.

The Iwagakure ninja who was in the lead also proved this point. He was none other than the Iwagakure jonin - Kari - who had fought with Qingming not long ago.

As soon as he saw the other party, Qingming knew that today's level would be difficult.

There is no other reason. As long as the other party has a little brains and doesn't confront him head-on, there will be a lot of casualties on their side in the end.

Qingming was afraid of Shou, but he didn't know that Shou was also afraid of him.

Shoudu witnessed the fighting of the past day.

Qingming's performance was extremely brilliant. The damage he caused to the Rock Ninja alone was almost a quarter of the total losses.

Even so, Qingming still couldn't see any signs of exhaustion.

This made Shou very wary of him.

It was for this reason that he carefully selected and organized a group of elite subordinates to be responsible for blocking Qing Ming and others, and only then did he dare to come here.

In the rain.

The two sides confronted each other.

I don't know who shouted "Kill", but the battle broke out instantly.

At the beginning, both sides fired a round of kunai, but unfortunately, everyone was elite, and such an attack obviously could not have much impact on the opponent.

Fortunately, neither side had any expectations for this round of attack, and they just treated it as a greeting. The following close combat was the focus.

"kill--"

The two sides shouted and rushed towards each other, and a brutal fight began.

Qingming held a short sword and killed two people in an instant. Shou was not much better. He punched two big holes in the bodies of the two Konoha Chunins with two punches.

Qingming did not try to stop the other party because it would only make the other party more unscrupulous.

Only by killing as crazily as the other party can he force the other party to focus his attention on him and fight him head-on.

It turned out that he was right.

After he killed six Iwagakure Chunins in a row, Shou finally couldn't help it and rushed towards him.

This time, Qing Ming did not dodge deliberately, but just waited quietly for the other party to approach.

Finally, the two met.

His sword was fast and accurate, and he had a good sense of timing, so every time Shou was attacked, he had to dodge in advance.

Similarly, the explosive chakra on Hunter's fist also made Qingming extremely alert, and he didn't dare to let it touch him at all.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the fight between the two was almost like a play. Every time they attacked, they did not touch each other, which looked extremely funny.

However, this is just an appearance, and in fact the two are highly focused.

The reason why there were no fists hitting flesh or swords approaching was that if such a thing happened, it would mean that at least one person would be seriously injured.

Therefore, without absolute certainty, Qingming and Shou would not let the other touch them.

Time passes minute by minute.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Qing Ming knew that he could not delay any longer, because if he did, they would surely be surrounded and suppressed by the large Iwagakure army.

Therefore, they must leave the battlefield as quickly as possible, just like in previous battles.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer hesitated. He dodged another attack from Shou, then took a step back and suddenly created some distance between them.

Then, he formed seals with his hands and performed the ninjutsu at the fastest speed - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Previously, their fight had cleared out a large area nearby.

Therefore, Qingming no longer needs to worry about hurting his own people and can just use ninjutsu directly.

The only pity is that because of the rain, the power of his fire escape has weakened, and he has to consume more chakra to make up for the difference.

Fortunately, he had enough chakra, so he didn't have to worry about the consumption of chakra.
