Chapter 451 First Kill
Entering the valley, Akiku Yasuda divided the team into three parts without any hesitation.

Then, he ordered two of the Kirigakure jonin to lead a team each and advance through the jungles on both sides of the valley.

He himself led the large army through the middle valley.

In this way, even if there is an ambush by Konoha in the valley, the teams on both sides can buy enough buffer time and space for the main force.

From this, we can also see that Akiku Yasuda is not a reckless person.

And his arrangement really worked.

Just when they reached the middle of the valley, Nobuhisa Sano gave the order to attack.

Immediately, the Konoha ninjas who were ambushing on both sides took off their disguises, rushed out from their hiding places, and under the leadership of a group of senior ninjas, killed the Mist ninjas in the valley.

However, due to the obstruction of the Mist Ninjas on both sides, they were unable to rush directly to the main force of the Mist, resulting in the failure to achieve the suddenness of the attack.

It is for this reason that Akiku Yasuda can give orders calmly.

However, the first order he issued was not to let the Mist Ninja in the valley support the friendly forces on both wings, but to inform the team advancing from the sea of ​​the situation here, and let them advance at full speed and attack the Black Stone stronghold as quickly as possible.

After the message was conveyed, he ordered the people behind him to split into two groups to support the friendly forces in the jungles on both sides of the valley.

With their support, the Mist Ninja, which was originally retreating, immediately stopped its retreat and maintained the battle line halfway up the mountain.

For a moment, the scene was in chaos, with all kinds of noises ringing in the ears.

There were the clanging sounds of kunai colliding with each other, the rumbling sounds of detonating tags being detonated, and the wailing sounds of injured ninjas.

In short, the whole valley is very lively!

This was the scene Qingming saw when he arrived here.

With a thought, Qing Ming released the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

In front of him, the shadow clone that was flying towards him disappeared in an instant.

Then, a large number of memories flooded into his mind.

Qingming instantly understood the whole story, and also knew the task assigned to him by Sano Nobuhisa.

"Hmm? As a thug?"

Qing Ming murmured, his expression not changing much.

There was no other reason. As early as when the other party asked him to participate in this ambush mission, he had already guessed the other party's intention. It was nothing more than that they were attracted by his fighting ability.

Now, it is normal for the other party to ask him to eliminate the enemy's high-end combat power as much as possible.

Qingming had already acquiesced to this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't come.

Thinking of this, Qingming lowered his altitude, and after a round of inspection, he locked onto two Kirigakure jonins who were besieging a Konoha jonin.

Judging from their performance, only one of them should be a true jonin, while the other one is only at the level of a special jonin.

So, without any hesitation, he dived down immediately and rushed towards the special jonin.

It may sound like a long process, but it actually happened in a flash.

However, even in such a short time, the other party finally reacted.

With a "whoosh", he threw the kunai in his hand, aiming directly at his heart.

"A perceptive ninja?"

Qingming murmured, and slightly turned his body to avoid the kunai attack.

Then, he threw several shurikens without hesitation, either blocking the opponent's escape route or aiming at his vital points.

In short, it is to force the other party to death.

However, facing such an attack, the Mist Ninja was not in a hurry, and quickly pulled out a kunai from his waist, knocking away an incoming shuriken. Then, he flashed and narrowly avoided the attack of the remaining shuriken.

At this point, Qingming was basically certain that this person was definitely a special jonin who was good at perception, otherwise it would be impossible for him to avoid his attack so easily.

But to think that you can escape from him just based on this is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

The distance between the two sides was rapidly narrowing. When it was less than five meters, Qing Ming drew out the long sword from his waist, and then used the downward force to slash at the opponent.

Hey~
The crisp sound of metal collision rang out and lasted for a long time.

Ichiro Hase only felt his arm go numb. Even though he used the force-releasing method just right and stepped on the ground to create spider-like cracks, he still couldn't withstand the force of Qingming's attack.

Tick ​​tock~tick tock~
Drops of blood slid down the blade in Qingming's hand.

Hase Ichiro tilted his head slightly, glanced at the shallow cut on his shoulder left by the Qingming sword, and his face became serious.

Then, he slammed the ground with his feet and retreated backwards like a cannonball.

Upon seeing this, Qing Ming instantly released the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', then with a flash of green light on his body, he performed the 'Instant Sword Technique' and chased after him.

Hey~
The sound of metal clashing rang out again.

Qing Ming slashed at Hase Ichiro's kunai with his sword, forcing him to take several steps back again and stagger.

As the saying goes, if you are sick, I will kill you.

Qing Ming did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed, swinging the long sword in his hand for the third time, aiming directly at the opponent's neck.

A slight chill appeared in front of his neck. Hase Ichiro did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately raised the kunai in his hand to block.

Hey~
There was another crisp sound of metal collision.

However, this time the sound lasted for a very short time. Almost at the moment when the kunai and the long sword collided, Qingming retracted the long sword.

Then, it extends out diagonally.

Obviously, the chopped blow just now was just a pretense, and the real killing move was just used by him now.

Feeling the murderous intent on the blade of the Qingming Blade and looking at the tip of the blade getting closer and closer to him, Hase Ichiro felt it was difficult to breathe.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Superman's perception saved his life.

At the critical moment, Hase Ichiro leaned back slightly and avoided having his throat pierced by Qingming's knife.

However, although his life was saved, injuries were inevitable.

There was a "swish" sound, and Qingming's long sword cut the opponent's cheek, leaving a diagonal scar from his left chin to his right eye.

A burning pain came, but Hase Ichiro had no time to check his injuries because Qingming's next attack was already coming.

Hase Ichiro was unable to confront the attack head-on and could only wave the kunai in his hand to block while retreating backwards.

bang~
At a certain moment, Hase Ichiro felt a pain in his back.

Then, he glanced back and saw a crooked tree blocking his retreat.

Seeing Qingming's long sword coming at him, Hase Ichiro lowered his body and hid under a thick branch at the critical moment.

Although the branch was cut in half by Qing Ming the next moment, it still bought precious time for Hase Ichiro.

He completed the seal at the fastest speed in his life, and performed the "Substitution Technique" before Qingming's long sword was about to hit him.

puff~
A pool of water fell.

Qing Ming retracted his sword expressionlessly.

Then, a green light flashed on his body, and he used the "Instant Sword Technique" again.

　No more today.
