Chapter 35 Retreat
swoosh~
A kunai was fired from behind.

Qing Ming seemed to have eyes behind his head. He turned his body slightly and avoided the sneak attack.

Turning around and looking in the direction where the kunai was coming from, he saw a Iwagakure Chunin abandoning the two Konoha Genin who were being beaten by him and rushing straight towards this side.

Not only him, another Iwagakure also gave up his opponent and moved over here.

It was obvious that the two men were planning to join forces to deal with him.

Qingming had anticipated this.

When the middle-aged Rock Ninja launched a sneak attack on him, he knew that he had entered the field of vision of these Rock Ninjas, and it was only a matter of time before he was targeted.

Since you can't avoid it, then take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Qing Ming chose to kill Ichiro Ishii quickly.

The purpose is to interrupt the rhythm of these people.

Just like now, once Ichiro Ishii died, the two people in front of him had to give up their goals and focus their energy on him.

By doing this, Qingming seemed to have become a shield for these Konoha Genin on the surface, but if you think about it more deeply, you will find that the risk he took did not actually increase.

Even smaller overall.

Because according to the opponent's rhythm, after these two people kill their targets, they will most likely besiege him together with Ichiro Ishii.

Now that Ichiro Ishii is dead, the number of people besieging him has been reduced from three to two, and the danger has been greatly reduced.

At the same time, the few surviving Konoha Genin will attract the attention of other nearby Iwagakure Ninja, whether they like it or not, thereby reducing the number of potential opponents for him.

In this way, as long as he masters the rhythm, he won't have to face more enemies in a short period of time.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Qing Ming did not waste any more time. He immediately took out his kunai and ran towards the two people opposite him.

Seeing Qingming rushing towards them, the two Rock Ninjas didn't waste any words. After looking at each other, they also rushed towards Qingming, obviously intending to engage him in close combat.

Generally speaking, unless you are a genius-level ninja, the chakra in your body is very limited.

Therefore, when fighting, ninjutsu is usually not used frequently, especially in such a chaotic battlefield.

Because no one knows whether an enemy will appear and kill him after the chakra is exhausted.

Therefore, every ninja is a master of calculation.

It is true that Qingming had demonstrated impressive close combat abilities when he was fighting with Ichiro Ishii just now, but that was ultimately a one-on-one fight.

Now, these two Rock Ninjas have joined forces, and I don’t think Qing Ming will be their opponent.

So, when they saw Qingming closing the distance and preparing for close combat, they did not choose to dodge, but to take the attack on the spot.

They even felt a little relieved.

After all, they still vividly remembered how Qing Ming used ninjutsu to kill Ichiro Ishii. Although they didn't say it, they were still a little afraid in their hearts.

Now, Qingming chose close combat, which was exactly what they wanted.

They just didn't believe it. Could Qingming fight two people at the same time?

The facts are just as they expected.

Even though he had perfected the 'Basic Physical Training' to level 3, had mastered all the skills, and had gained some practical experience from Ichiro Ishii, Qing Ming was still unable to fight two enemies at once.

Therefore, in just a short period of time, several scars appeared on his body.

Fortunately, they are just superficial injuries and will not affect the combat effectiveness for the time being.

Ding ~ Ding ~
Qing Ming waved the kunai in his hand, blocking the attacks of two Rock Ninjas in succession, then took a step back and briefly created some distance.

The two Rock Ninjas did not chase immediately, but stood on the left and right, slowly approaching from both sides.

During this period, he did not forget to use psychological tactics to influence Qingming's fighting will.

"Boy, stop struggling. You can't possibly defeat us. Put down your weapons and surrender now. Maybe we can spare your life." One of them said. "Yes, boy, do you think there is anyone around who can help you? Surrender now to avoid physical pain." Another person echoed.

Hearing this, Qingming glanced at the battlefield with his peripheral vision.

Indeed, everyone nearby was fighting and no one could help him, not even Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.

At this time, they were fighting with a young Iwagakure ninja, and there was a Konoha Genin assisting them.

Three against one, the situation is not very optimistic, but there will be no danger to life for a while.

After confirming this, Qing Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his attention to the two people in front of him.

Indeed, outnumbering two by one, without activating the Sharingan, relying solely on his melee combat ability, he was no match for the two.

But at the same time, it would be unlikely for these two people to kill him easily.

So the situation came to a standstill here.

And this is exactly what he needs.

As long as this situation can be maintained, Qing Ming will not be anxious at all.

Anyway, time is on his side. As long as the reinforcements arrive, the crisis will be resolved. There is no need to fight to the death with the two opponents.

Thinking of this, Qingming's mentality became more stable.

Seeing that Qingming was not affected by their words at all, the two Rock Ninjas simply stopped wasting words and rushed towards him again.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~
The harsh sounds of metal collisions rang out one after another.

Qingming’s perception was fully activated, and he was fighting one against two, but was only slightly at a disadvantage.

The fight lasted a minute or two.

Finally, an Iwagakure ninja couldn't bear it anymore. He made a gesture to his teammates and suddenly distanced himself, as if preparing to perform some ninjutsu.

Seeing this, Qing Ming said inwardly: "Not good!".

Although he had known for a long time that the two would not allow him to delay time like this, it still caught him off guard that they would change their tactics now.

He thought he could delay for a few minutes at least, but he was still caught off guard by losing patience in such a short time.

Qingming was just about to distance himself when the only remaining Iwa Ninja in front of him suddenly intensified his attack, making it impossible for him to extricate himself for a moment.

The situation was critical, Qing Ming thought: "Should I use the Sharingan?"

With his plan in mind, Qingming had enough confidence to kill the Rock Ninja in front of him with one blow, but he was not sure if he could hide it from another Rock Ninja.

If the Sharingan is exposed, not to mention the trouble that will follow, a bunch of Iwagakure ninjas will probably come and attack him soon.

After all, every Uchiha ninja who has opened the Sharingan is a potential stock, and if they can be killed, the credit will definitely be significant.

Besides, the Sharingan is not guarded by a caged bird, and the Iwagakure Village wouldn't mind snatching one for research.

Of course, Qingming would not necessarily be in danger if he didn't use the Sharingan, but the feeling of losing control of the situation made Qingming feel very insecure.

Just as Qingming was struggling, several shrill whistles of varying lengths suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

Hearing the whistle, the Iwagakure, who was still attacking frantically, suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked at the Iwagakure who had retreated to the rear.

Then the two of them formed hand seals together, performed some kind of earth-style ninjutsu, and rushed to the outskirts of the battlefield together.

"This is... a retreat?!"

Qingming was both surprised and happy. If the other party withdrew, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
