Chapter 426 Well Prepared
brush~
A pair of light blue chakra wings appeared from behind Qingming, and then, as he wished, they flapped gently and sent him into the sky.

Arriving in the sky, Qingming glanced around and thought to himself, "The Kirigakure support team coming here will definitely not cross the main battlefield. Yamanaka Aoi didn't mention this either, so the other party is likely to have taken a detour."

"And if we take a detour, the north is too far, only the south is more suitable."

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming used the "Telepathy Technique" to inform the five Konoha jonin below of the current situation, asking them to resolve the battle as quickly as possible and prevent the enemy's surprise attack.

He himself flew directly to the northeast, towards the coastline.

Originally, Qingming thought he would have to search for a while, but he didn't expect that he found the trace of the Mist Ninja before he flew far.

In other words, they had no intention of hiding it at all, and the entire team was advancing rapidly in a defensive formation.

Qingming took a rough look and confirmed that there were only three teams with about two hundred people, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he had heard that Kirigakure had sent out its reserve team, and he was worried that the other side would send too many people at once.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Come to think of it, if the Kirigakure reserve team had several hundred people, they could have been deployed to the frontal battlefield early and completely broken through Konoha's defenses.

However, they did not do so, which means that the reserve team does not have this ability.

And two hundred people are indeed not enough to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for Konoha in a frontal battlefield.

Therefore, Kirigakure was right not to send them out at random.

No, it’s used now.

A team of two hundred people might not be enough for a frontal battlefield.

But for them, they had to take it seriously. If they were not careful, their exhausted army would be overwhelmed by the enemy.

Just as Qing Ming was about to take a closer look at the opponent's combat power composition, a figure suddenly looked towards him in the crowd.

He was wearing a navy blue robe, with his right eye covered by a black cloth. His features were very obvious and Qing Ming recognized him at the first sight. He was Qing, who was known as the 'White Eye Killer'.

Seeing the other party, Qing Ming licked his lips and muttered, "A roll of the eyes that came to my door."

He had wanted to get a white eye before, and now seemed to be a good opportunity.

Just as he was thinking this, more people from the Kirigakure team below were looking at him.

The two sides, one in the sky and the other on the ground, formed a situation of confrontation with each other, and the team below also stopped.

Qing Ming did not approach rashly. Time was on his side anyway. The longer he dragged it out, the better it would be for him. So he simply circled around the opponent, circling in the sky.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

After a few minutes, the Mist Ninja below was the first to lose his patience.

Qing looked at the people around him, thought for a moment, and said, "Everyone, be ready to fight at any time, and then... move forward!"

Upon hearing this, the Mist Ninjas tightened the kunai in their hands, and then, led by the three Mist Ninja jonin, continued to rush forward.

That’s right, among the Mist Ninjas that came to support this time, only the captain-level ninjas were jonins. Even if Ao was included, there were only four jonins in the team.

Moreover, among these four, only two are real jonin, and the other two are special jonin.

Although these two special jonin are good at lurking and assassination, their combat capabilities are stronger than those of ordinary special jonin.

However, compared to a fully developed true jonin, he is still somewhat inferior.

In other words, the high-end combat power of the Mist Ninja that attacked this time was very average.

At first, Qing Ming was a little surprised after confirming this, but when he thought about the brutality of the frontal battlefield, he felt relieved.

Although the Kirigakure commander did not send this reserve force, the team's jonin-level combat power certainly could not be left unused, and would probably have been withdrawn early.

This is probably why there are so few jonin in this team.

And this gave Qingming an opportunity.

Looking at the team below that was moving again, Qingming used the same old trick, trying to harass them again by using the "crying wolf" tactic. However, he encountered danger after just the first dive.

Looking at the dense kunai coming towards him, Qing Ming's face suddenly changed, and then he flew high into the sky without thinking.

After returning to safety, he turned his cold gaze to the group of Mist Ninjas.

There was no other reason. In the previous attack, he saw many kunai that were tempered with poison.

It was glowing with a dark purple light and emitting a fishy smell. Qingming felt a little dizzy after just one sniff.

From this, one can imagine how strong the toxin is.

It would be fine if only one or two people were equipped with this highly poisonous kunai, but about half of the people have this kind of kunai, which can no longer be described as a coincidence.

It was obvious that Kirigakure prepared this specifically for him.

In fact, it is true.

The reason why Qing took nearly half an hour to come to support was that he brought all the things that the village had prepared to deal with Qingming.

He brought not only these highly poisonous kunai, but also various strange ninja tools, as well as several talents who were good at binding and sealing techniques.

Indeed, he was not sure he could take down Qingming, and this was not his primary goal, but that did not mean he did not have this idea.

So, when the time comes, you should give it a try.

Looking at Qing Ming who dodged the attack of the poisonous kunai and flew back into the sky, Qing felt disappointed.

All the preparations he made would only be most effective the first time.

After that, no matter how sophisticated the technique is, without the element of surprise, there won’t be much chance.

Fortunately, with these preparations, even if the offense is insufficient, there will be no problem in defending.

Qing calmed himself down and ordered the team to move forward again.

Qingming followed behind them and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Those poisonous kunai would be fine, with his current Constitution attribute of 19 points, even if he was hit, his life would not be in danger for a while.

Moreover, he also has the lv8 'Palm Immortal Technique' and the lv5 'Micro-Injury Extraction Technique', which can be used to heal wounds and remove poisons.

So, I wasn't too scared.

But the key point is that he doesn't know how many plans the other party has against him?

It would be foolish to rush in without knowing the enemy's cards.

However, he couldn't just let the other party go forward.

Now, on the southern battlefield, although Konoha has gained the upper hand due to his great power, it is far from the end.

Once these people join in, not only will the remaining enemies be dealt with, even the remaining Konoha ninjas may suffer heavy losses.

In this case, even if the support sent by Nobuhisa Sano arrived, they might not be able to stop the enemy.

Because there is no doubt that Nobuhisa Sano will not be able to transfer too many people, and if they are drawn from the front battlefield, these people will definitely not be in full condition.

In this situation, facing the new force of Kirigakure, the chances of winning are really slim.

Therefore, we should delay their pace as much as possible.

Only by delaying the second reinforcement team from Konoha and joining forces with the Konoha ninjas who survived the previous battle can we truly resist the incoming Mist Ninjas.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer hesitated and immediately launched an attack on the Mist Ninja below.

Indeed, he has not yet figured out the enemy's cards.

However, with "Heaven's Control" as his last resort, there was no need for him to be too cautious.
