Chapter 461 Harassment
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Qingming collected his thoughts, drew out the long sword from his waist, and then with a flash of green light on his body, he once again performed the "Instant Sword Technique".

Before Ken Omura could gain a firm foothold, he saw Qing Ming's figure appear in front of him.

The next moment, a bright knife light shot out and shone directly into his eyes, making his consciousness dazed.

"not good!"

In an instant, Ken Omura realized something was wrong and rolled over in an attempt to avoid Qingming's attack.

However, Qingming had already predicted his movements, and almost the moment he crouched down, he threw out several shurikens.

Puff~Puff~
The sound of flesh being pierced was heard.

Although Ken Omura noticed the incoming shuriken at the last moment and struggled, the injuries on his arms and body slowed down his movements.

Finally, two shurikens hit his body, freezing him.

The next moment, Qingming's long sword swept past and chopped off the opponent's head.

As the head flew away, a large amount of blood spurted out from his neck like a fountain, instantly dyeing the surrounding sea surface red.

However, faced with such a horrifying scene, Qing Ming didn't even blink.

No, to be more precise, his attention has shifted away from here.

At this time, the two shadow clones responsible for blocking the support of Kirigakure had collapsed under the siege of more than a dozen Kirigakure ninjas.

Together with Qingming, three shadow clones attacked the surrounding Mist Ninjas. Except for one that was defeated by Omura Ken, the remaining two also disappeared in the melee just now.

It's not that they are weak, but these two shadow clones took too many risks in order to kill the enemy as quickly as possible.

If you walk by the river often, your feet will get wet.

In the end, they all died at the hands of the Kirigakure ninja.

However, despite fighting so hard, their results were remarkable.

Look, almost all the nearby Kirigakure Chunins have been wiped out.

As for the Kirigakure jonin, after Qingming killed Akabane Yosuke and Omura Ken successively, there was only one left, and he was just a special jonin who was good at perception.

When he saw Qingming's gaze coming towards him, he immediately got rid of the opponent in front of him without any hesitation, and with a few flashes, he ran towards the Mist Ninja who came to support him.

Qing Ming did not choose to stop him, firstly because it was too late and secondly because it was unnecessary.

He looked up at the dozen or so Mist Ninjas who came to support him.

Through the chakra in their bodies and the aura on their bodies, Qingming could roughly infer that there were at least five people with the combat power of the Jonin level.

There is no doubt that this is difficult for the few surviving friendly forces nearby to resist.

But despite this, Qing Ming still said: "I'll leave them to you."

After saying that, without caring about the astonished looks of several Konoha ninjas, he immediately raised his hands to form seals, performed the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', flew high into the sky, and flew towards the direction of the Mist Ship.

Several Konoha ninjas looked in the direction he was flying and could see that the Mist Warships still hadn't stopped and were still moving forward.

Only then did they realize that Qingming was not ruthless, but that he had a more important mission.

After thinking this through, several people felt a little more relieved.

Although they still had hope for life in their hearts at this time, they also knew that their greatest role now was probably to act as bait and cannon fodder.

The few of them looked at each other, then immediately dispersed, and then stood where they were, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Mist Ninja reinforcements.

However, when the Mist Ninjas who were on their way saw the direction Qingming left, they separated one-third of their men and returned to the direction of the warship.

This made the few surviving Konoha ninjas happy.

There is no other reason. Fewer people means a greater chance of survival. Although the chance is not much, it is still better than before, isn't it?

Qingming also saw the returning Mist Ninja, but he didn't care much.

He flapped his wings vigorously, and his speed suddenly increased to the limit. He flew towards the direction of the Mist Hidden Warship at a speed of 40 meters per second.

······
Meanwhile. On the other side.

In the center of the Kirigakure fleet, on the deck of a Kirigakure warship, Ozawa Yuki looked at Qing Ming who was flying straight towards them with an extremely ugly expression.

The reason why he ignored the sacrifices of Ken Omura and others and kept ordering the fleet to move forward was because he wanted to reach the Black Stone stronghold as soon as possible.

He had already received the message from Akiku Yasuda and knew that this was a rare opportunity.

But now, looking at Qingming's look, he has made up his mind not to let them leave easily.

This made Osawa Yuki very angry.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to let the fleet continue moving forward under Qingming's nose.

He could ignore the harassing Konoha teams in front of him because these people had limited means and could not break through the traditional defense mode.

But Qingming is different, flying is his greatest advantage.

In this case, there is no way to restrict him by ordinary means.

Therefore, Yuki Ozawa must be fully prepared to deal with it.

In this case, we naturally cannot move forward.

With this thought in mind, Ozawa Yuki said to a female Mist Ninja beside him: "Mizuki, pass the order and have the team stop advancing immediately."

"Yes, Captain!"

Sakurai Mitsuki responded, then took out a flute from her ninja tool bag and started playing it.

Immediately, a melodious sound came out from the flute, and then, with chakra as the medium, it quickly spread around and reached the ears of the Mist Ninjas and Qingming.

To Qingming, the voice sounded ordinary, but to those Kirigakure ninjas who knew the secret code, it was an order from Yuki Ozawa.

Immediately, all the Mist-Hidden warships began to slow down and approach each other.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and he was about to take advantage of the opportunity before the Wuyin warship completely stopped to harass it first.

However, just as he lowered his altitude and was about to attack, a shrill flute sound suddenly reached his ears.

At this moment, Qing Ming felt dizzy and almost fell from the sky.

Fortunately, Qingming had strong mental power and he dispelled the flute sound the moment he realized the problem.

Then, we climbed again.

At the same time, he also dodged the kunai and shuriken thrown by the Mist Ninja below.

Not far away, Sakurai Mizuki saw this scene, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her beautiful brows.

However, Yuki Osawa, who was standing next to him, was not too surprised.

It is true that Sakurai Mitsuki has good talent and has mastered several sonic ninjutsu and illusion techniques, but they have sent similar ninjas to deal with Qingming before.

For example, during the raid on Eagle's Beak Cliff, when the Anbu ninjas set up the 'Four Mist Seal Formation', they sent out the senior ninja, Mizuguchi Hideo, who attempted to use the sound wave illusion he mastered to launch a sneak attack on Qingming.

But the result?

Qingming is still alive and well.

And Sakurai Mitsuki's abilities are not necessarily stronger than Mizuguchi Hideo's.

Therefore, Ozawa Yushu was not surprised at all that Qingming broke free from the influence of the illusion so quickly.

However, that doesn't mean Sakurai Mitsuki is useless.

On the contrary, she plays a very important role.

With her around, Qing Ming at least wouldn't dare to be too arrogant.
