Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"What? How is it possible?"

Looking at Qingming walking out of the ice prison, Xuefeng's face was full of disbelief.

It's not that he didn't believe Qingming could break his 'Ice Release·Ice Prison Technique'. As early as when he felt the power of 'Wind Release·Spiral Shuriken' performed by Qingming, he guessed that the ice prison he condensed might not be able to trap the other party.

It's just that he didn't expect Qingming to leave so easily.

Da Da Da~

Qingming stepped on the ice powder all over the ground and walked out of the ice prison area, and then cast his eyes on Xuefeng.

It must be said that the opponent is really smart. He knew that close combat could not be his opponent, so he didn't think about fighting him in close combat from the beginning, but chose large-scale attacks and long-range strikes.

Whether it was the blizzard and ice dragon in front, or the ice spikes and ice prison later, or the 'Water Release·Mist Hidden Technique' used to confuse him in the middle.

All of these reflect the opponent's attempt to defeat him through non-contact combat.

Unfortunately, his idea was good, but he underestimated his strength.

Even if he was trapped by the 'Ice Release·Ice Prison Technique' later, there were actually several ways to escape.

Not to mention the Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil technique 'Heaven's Guard', which could definitely help him escape the ice crystal cage easily.

In addition to this trump card, the 'Rasengan', 'Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique', and 'Wind Release·Wind Blade' all have a certain chance of doing so.

Although these methods seemed useless when he tried just now, it was just because he didn't want to be trapped for too long.

If the stalemate continued, the opponent might not be able to outlast him.

After all, the biggest function of the 'Ice Release·Ice Prison Technique' is to trap the enemy, not to kill the enemy. Killing the enemy mainly relies on the continuously decreasing temperature and the cage gradually filled with solid ice.

And with his current 16-point physique, it is enough to support it for a long time.

During this period, he can use a huge amount of chakra to continuously perform fire release ninjutsu and a series of other ninjutsu to attack the ice wall.

These ice walls seem to be infinitely repairable, but in fact they all need chakra to support them.

In this way, it will eventually become a chakra consumption.

Qingming is 100% sure that the opponent's chakra is definitely not as much as his, so he will definitely not be able to consume him.

Even if the opponent's chakra control is not enough, and the chakra that can be output per unit time is average, maybe the speed of repairing the ice wall will not catch up with his speed of destruction.

In this way, he can still come out in advance.

In short, he can use a lot of means, far from the opponent's imagination, and run out of tricks.

But the opponent, after this series of serial attacks, is afraid that there is no effective means to restrict him.

When he thought of this, a layer of faint green light appeared on Qingming's body, and the wind escape chakra dissipated, merging him and the long sword in his hand.

Seeing this familiar scene, Xuefeng immediately thought of the scene of Qingming avoiding the attack of the ice dragon not long ago, and his expression changed slightly.

Then, he flashed and left the place.

The next moment, Qingming's figure appeared, but he missed.

But it didn't matter. Qingming didn't pause at all, and used the 'Instant Sword Technique' again, chasing after Xuefeng who was running away in a hurry.

After practicing for the past half month, his 'Instant Sword Technique' had already been promoted to level 4, and his speed of movement was much faster than before.

In the past, he could use this technique to catch some jonin off guard, let alone now.

Even if Xuefeng tried his best to dodge, he only dodged three times. On the fourth time, Qingming seized the opportunity.

Swish~

A flash of knife light flashed by.

Xuefeng raised the kunai in his hand and blocked the long knife that Qingming cut across his waist.

Ding~

A crisp metal collision sounded.

The long knife in Qingming's hand and the opponent's kunai separated at the touch, and then quickly changed the angle and slashed at the opponent's neck.

Xuefeng reacted quickly and swung the kunai in his hand again to block the second attack.

Qingming's face remained unchanged and continued to attack, while Xuefeng continued to block.

During this period, Xuefeng didn't dare to look at the long sword in his hand for more than a second, and only responded based on his feelings and previous combat experience.

Obviously, the information about his "illusion sword technique" has been leaked, otherwise the other party would not be like this.

Qingming was not surprised by this.

After all, after suffering such a big loss last time, it is impossible that the Hidden Mist Village has not studied him.

There are many Hidden Mist ninjas who have fought with him and survived. As long as they submit relevant information, other Hidden Mist ninjas will be mentally prepared.

Then, respond according to your own situation.

Just like the Xuefeng in front of him, he chose not to look.

However, in this way, he can only defend.

However, such a defense may be able to cope with it for a while, but it is impossible to stop Qingming's continuous attack.

Qingming knew this, so he swung the long sword tightly, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to leave him no chance to breathe.

Xuefeng also knew this, so after persisting for two or three minutes, he forcibly withdrew from the battle at the cost of his arm injury.

Seeing Xuefeng suddenly distanced himself, Qingming did not hesitate and immediately used the ‘Instant Sword Technique’ to follow him.

However, this time Xuefeng did not run away, but quickly formed a seal, and finally used the ‘Ice Substitute’ before Qingming’s long sword approached him.

Crack~

A human-shaped ice sculpture was chopped into pieces by Qingming’s sword.

He didn't stay, his eyes turned, and he locked onto Xuefeng's figure, then his figure flashed and chased after him again.

As if he sensed Qingming's killing intent behind him, Xuefeng gritted his teeth, formed a seal again, and his figure instantly split into two, running to the left and right sides respectively.

Seeing this, Qingming was not polite either, and also performed the "Shadow Clone Technique", splitting a shadow clone and chasing the man on the left.

And he himself chased Xuefeng on the right.

As for why he assigned them like this

It's very simple, based on feeling.

Anyway, even with the Sharingan, he couldn't see any difference between the two people, so he could only choose based on his feeling.

Unfortunately, his feeling didn't seem to be very accurate.

One minute later.

Qingming looked at the broken ice all over the ground and shook his head.

When he just caught up with the other party, he was still a little excited, because it had withstood his attacks several times and didn't collapse.

He never thought that it was actually an ice clone.

However, the shadow clone created by using ice escape is indeed much stronger than the ordinary shadow clone, at least in terms of resistance to blows.

"What a pity."

Qing Ming shook his head gently, no longer thought about it, kicked the sea surface with both feet, and immediately ran to the left front.

At this time, there, Xuefeng's real body was entangled with his shadow clone.

However, as soon as he moved, Xuefeng, who received the memory of the ice clone, looked over here, and then ran away without looking back.

The shadow clone saw this and immediately chased forward, and Qing Ming followed.

For a while, the two sides chased each other on the sea again.
