Chapter 386 Retreat
"careful!"

Seeing Qingming flying over, one of the Kirigakure ninjas who were besieging a dozen Konoha ninjas suddenly shouted loudly.

The next moment, these people dispersed swiftly.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming curled his lips and said inwardly: "Bad luck!"

Now, these Mist Ninjas had gained experience from being beaten, and knew that he had a huge advantage from being in a high position, so when they saw him coming, they immediately began to disperse.

In this way, it would not be easy for him to attack multiple people at once.

Even the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' that can target multiple targets at the same time is not very effective as the enemies are getting further away from each other.

I can only say that ninjas have really strong adaptability.

It was because they had no plan to deal with aerial targets this time, otherwise Qing Ming might not dare to fly around so boldly.

However, in this way, even without him taking action, the dozen or so besieged Konoha ninjas could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only that, they can even take advantage of his arrival to counterattack.

Just like now, those Konoha ninjas saw him flying straight towards them, looked at each other, and immediately started chasing the scattered Kirigakure ninjas.

And those Kirigakure ninjas, because of their concern for his existence, did not dare to use their full strength.

As a result, I was at a disadvantage for a while.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming was happy to give them a chance, so he circled around the battlefield and continued to put pressure on these Mist Ninjas.

Of course, if he sees a good opportunity, he won't miss it.

In a short time, he used his means to kill one of them and injure three.

However, that’s as far as it goes.

There was no other reason. The Kirigakure jonin who were chasing him had already arrived.

Qing Ming looked at their figures, flapped the chakra wings behind him, and flew to another battlefield.

The Kirigakure jonin looked at the corpses on the ground and threw several shurikens at the Konoha ninjas as if to vent their anger.

Then, he chased after Qingming again.

It’s not that they don’t want to stay and surround and kill those Konoha ninjas, but if they do so, Qingming will stay at the next battlefield and launch a devastating attack on the Kirigakure ninjas there.

Although they were hurting each other and Qingming was only one person, because they were in a dominant position and had the advantage of terrain, the damage they caused to these Konoha ninjas might not be as great as Qingming.

In this case, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, they could only chase him relentlessly, even if they could not kill Qingming, they could not let him stay in one place for long.

As for those Konoha ninjas.
Anyway, they have the advantage in numbers of ninjas, so just leave it to them.

I can only say that this is a choice we have no choice but to make.

······
Time continues to pass.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.

At the horizon, above the sea level, the sun rises and the sky is filled with morning glow.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the Eagle's Beak Cliff, the solemn and murderous atmosphere on the entire battlefield seemed to fade a little.

Before I knew it, more than five hours had passed.

At this time, the ninjas on both sides were exhausted, but without orders from their superiors, they did not dare to retreat easily.

Therefore, I still persist.

Thanks to the existence of the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', Qingming's chakra is always at a high level. On the contrary, those Mist Ninjas, one by one, have a low aura, and it is obvious that they lack chakra.

This made Qingming's delaying tactics easier.

He even took advantage of this opportunity to kill a Kirigakure jonin and a special jonin, causing further loss of their high-end combat power.

If Qingming didn't want to cause too much trouble for the Hidden Mist Village, he might have started a killing spree by now.

There is no need to doubt his strength. You know, in the past few hours, in order to consider the overall situation, he has basically been relying on flying ninjutsu to move around.

If he were really allowed to let go and use his full strength, with his current strength, even if he was besieged, it would not be a problem for him to kill a few people.

But that would be detrimental to the overall situation and would not benefit him either, so he was too lazy to do it.

However, if we delay a little longer, the opponent's condition will become worse, and he might really take action.

However, it seemed that the other party was not destined to die. Another quarter of an hour later, just when Qingming was about to make a move, a loud eagle cry suddenly came from a distance.

Qingming looked closely and found that it was a messenger eagle trained by the Hidden Mist Village.

uh~
Another eagle cry was heard.

below.

Mei Terumi and other jonin listened carefully.

After a moment, his expression changed slightly.

They looked at each other.

Then, the Kirigakure jonin who was skilled in the secret arts of the mind cast a spell to contact all the Kirigakure ninjas and issued an order to retreat.

That’s right, retreat!

From the cry of the messenger eagle, they had received instructions from their superiors, requiring them to return to the forward base as soon as possible.

on the sky.

Because he was in a high position, Qingming saw Wuyin's plan at a glance, but did not stop it.

There is no other reason. First of all, he can't stop it.

These Mist Ninjas were obviously well prepared. After receiving the order, they immediately split into dozens of groups and retreated into the sea from different directions.

There was no way he could stop them all.

The second reason was that there were only a few Konoha ninjas left in the stronghold, and they were in extremely poor condition. Even if he stopped one or two of them, they did not have the strength to annihilate them.

The last and most important point is that Mei Terumi and others are staring at him. Once he tries to stop them, there is a high possibility that another big battle will break out.

Although he was not afraid of these people, he did not want to waste his energy for nothing.

So, after careful consideration, he chose to let it go.

Seeing that he did not move, Mei Terumi and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were full of confidence before the war, they had lost their temper after several hours of torture.

At times like this, it would be better not to take action if you can.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the two sides confronted each other tacitly, allowing their own ninjas and enemy ninjas to distance themselves from each other and then leave.

Soon, all the Kirigakure ninjas on the battlefield disappeared, and the Konoha ninjas gathered together.

The chakra wings behind Qingming flapped gently, and in a moment, he arrived at the edge of Eagle's Beak Cliff.

Facing the rising sun, Qingming looked towards the sea in the distance.

There, several Mist-Hidden warships were sailing away quickly.

Faintly, Qingming saw a few familiar faces at the stern, all of them were the Mist Village Jonin who had entangled with him last night.

Inexplicably, he suddenly had a premonition that they would meet again soon.

This is not entirely a whim.

The Hidden Mist Village deliberately launched such a war and even fought to the end. It is impossible that there would be no results at all.

Qingming could almost foresee that there would definitely be strongholds on the border defense line that had been captured by Kirigakure, or even more than one.

In this way, the two sides will inevitably fight for these strongholds.

At that time, he will most likely be recruited, and the opposing Mist Ninjas will also most likely participate in this war, so there is a high chance that the two sides will meet.

That’s why Qingming said that this was not entirely a premonition.

However, this is not a good thing.

Although with his current strength, especially with the ability to fly, such a battle is unlikely to threaten his life.

However, if possible, he really didn't want to waste this time and energy.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the confidence to ignore the rules yet.

"Hey!"

With a light sigh, Qing Ming didn't think any more and flew towards the stronghold.
