Chapter 322 Dilemma
Without any hesitation, he pushed the Three-Magneto Sharingan to its limit.

In an instant, everything in front of me slowed down.

Qing Ming raised his hands, quickly completed the hand seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Array Wall!

A thick wall of water suddenly rose from the waves and protected Qingming.

Almost at the next moment, the dissolving mucus spewed by Mei Terumi sprayed on it.

Zizizi~
A teeth-grinding sound suddenly rang out.

In almost the blink of an eye, the water wall was corroded and assimilated.

However, this also bought Qingming precious time.

Without any hesitation, the moment he performed Water Style: Water Array Wall, he pulled back.

However, how could Mei Terumi let go easily when she had finally gotten the chance?

As soon as he retreated, the other party caught up with him, completed the hand seal on the way, and performed a water-style ninjutsu that Qingming had never seen before.

She condensed a large amount of water chakra and injected it into the sea through her palms, turning it into countless water arrows that shot straight towards Qingming.

咻咻咻～
Hearing this piercing sound of breaking through the air, Qingming's expression remained unchanged.

The Sharingan was pushed to its limit, and the long sword in his hand danced like a windmill.

With a series of "ding-dang-dang" sounds, all the water arrows shot at him were blocked.

"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, Mei Terumi snorted coldly, and without any pause, she raised her hands again to form seals and performed another water-style ninjutsu.

Its performance is similar to the advanced ninjutsu developed by Senju Tobirama - Water Style: Water Cutting Wave, which is also a highly penetrating stream of water sprayed out from the mouth to attack the target.

However, unlike 'Water Style: Water Break Wave', it does not have sustainability.

It was for this reason that Qingming was able to easily avoid it with the powerful insight brought by the three-magatama Sharingan.

However, before he could counterattack, Mei Terumi formed hand seals again and performed the 'Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu'.

Obviously, the opponent intended to copy the battle against the shadow clone, using large-scale and continuous attacks, forcing him to dodge constantly, thus revealing his flaws, and finally giving him a fatal blow.

However, how could he, who had the memories of his shadow clone, fulfill the other party's wish?
What's more, the shadow clone didn't dare to fight the opponent head-on. First, the chakra in the shadow clone's body was indeed insufficient and it could not outlast the opponent.

Secondly, even though his 'Shadow Clone Technique' has been upgraded to level 4 and its stability has been greatly increased, he still cannot withstand much damage.

That's why he was dragged to death by the other party.

But he was different. Although his chakra was insufficient after a long journey, there were so many Mist Ninjas around him with the "Chakra Absorption Technique", so he was not afraid of competing with the opponents in consumption.

Moreover, as the original body, he is not afraid of being injured. Even the level 8 "Palm Immortal Technique" can allow him to ignore ordinary damage to a certain extent.

Given all these factors, it was simply a pipe dream for the other party to defeat him by using the method she used to defeat the shadow clone, even if she used the Dissolution and Boiling Escapes.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming looked at the water dragon that was rushing towards him and no longer dodged.

With a clang, the long sword returned to its sheath.

He raised his hands, formed hand seals in an instant, opened his mouth, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!
A line of fire spurted out of his mouth, and then turned into a fire dragon, carrying a rolling heat wave, rushing into the air and colliding with the oncoming water dragon.

Boom~
A dull crashing sound came.

The fire dragon and the water dragon collided with each other and exploded, transforming into countless flames and water streams that fell from the sky and flew downwards in all directions.

Evenly matched!

Everyone in the field, whether they were Mist Ninja or Konoha Ninja, couldn't help but think of this when they saw this scene. Then, they were all shocked.

Because theoretically, water attribute chakra has a restraining effect on fire attribute chakra.

In this way, the ninjutsu formed by the condensation of two types of chakra should also have a restraining effect.

At this time, unless the party performing Fire Style has more advanced ninjutsu or has more condensed chakra, they will be at a disadvantage.

Just as water can extinguish fire and fire can evaporate water, the accumulation of quantitative changes can sometimes lead to qualitative changes.

But the problem is that the 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' performed by Qing Ming is not more advanced than the 'Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique' performed by Terumi Mei, and is even lower, and the chakras used by both sides are almost the same.

Logically speaking, the fire dragon released by Qingming would definitely be at a disadvantage.

But the fact is that both sides fought evenly.

This is obviously not normal!
That's why everyone was shocked.

However, this is easy to understand. There is only one reason why this happened, and that is that he has mastered the "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique" too deeply.

Perhaps Mei Terumi is a genius who can quickly master a ninjutsu, but as long as she does not reach the level of a demon and has a bit of luck, it will be impossible for her to practice this ninjutsu to perfection.

Qingming is different. With the existence of a proficiency panel, he may not be able to learn a ninjutsu in a few or even dozens of times, but as long as he is willing to spend time and energy, he can definitely master it to perfection.

The effect of whether a ninjutsu is perfected is far more than just the level increase shown on the skill panel.

It is the gap in the upper limit.

Not to mention anything else, just the casting speed, the ninjutsu that he has mastered to perfection, C-level and below can basically be cast instantly.

This allows him to strike back.

In addition, if he has mastered a ninjutsu to perfection, it also means that he has mastered all of its techniques.

The technical suppression will allow him to accomplish things like using little force to achieve great results.

It was precisely because of these things that he was able to fight without losing in the previous fight despite being at a disadvantage.

It may sound like a long story, but in fact, it only takes a moment for Qingming to think about it.

And what he can think of, Mei Terumi can naturally think of as well.

Therefore, compared to the shock of the people around her, she understood the gap more clearly.

At the same time, his face became even uglier.

Originally, she thought Qingming's swordsmanship was powerful enough.

After all, as the "Ghost Sword", she was somewhat mentally prepared.

But the question is, what is the situation with this extremely skilled ninjutsu?
It was fine before. Although Qingming performed several ninjutsu, he only surprised her when he formed a seal with one hand.

And now, Qingming used all his strength, and the opponent immediately saw through his strength.

"Do you want to retreat?"

Suddenly, this thought came to Mei Terumi's mind.

However, they had been preparing for a long time to raid Konoha's forward base in Wave Country.

If they leave now, what if Qingming and others intercept the main force's retreat and perform well, then they will be guilty of a great sin.

For a moment, Mei Terumi was in a dilemma.
