Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Inside the water ball, a suffocating feeling came. Qingming tried not to breathe, glanced back, and then saw the expressionless face of Hoshigaki Kisame.

Correspondingly, Hoshigaki Kisame also saw his expression.

Logically speaking, Qingming should have shown regret or unwillingness on his face at this time, especially since he had just fallen from heaven to hell.

However, now, Hoshigaki Kisame did not see any similar negative expression on Qingming's face. Instead, he saw a sense of pride in his trick in the depths of his eyes.

In fact, it was true.

Although his vision was blocked by the heavy rain when Hoshigaki Kisame's water clone appeared just now, he could not see clearly.

But the battle of almost a minute afterwards was enough for him to see the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

Not to mention his instinctive action of protecting himself from any harm, which was different from the behavior habits of Hoshigaki Kisame when he used his original body to fight him before, the "lack" of chakra in his body alone was enough to make Qingming alert.

But even so, he still pretended not to know, with only one purpose, that is, to draw out the opponent's true body.

And now, he can confirm that the person behind him is the opponent's true body.

In other words, his plan succeeded.

Next, just take down the opponent.

Qingming secretly glanced at the Mist Village Ninja and Konoha Ninja in the distance, and after confirming that they could not see the details of this side, he planned to use the ability of "Heaven's Guard" to get away and instantly control Hoshigaki Kisame.

However, just as he was about to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, he suddenly sensed a slight chakra fluctuation in the sea water under his feet.

At the same time, in his field of vision, Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes flashed with a touch of relief.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a terrible guess emerged in Qingming's mind, and then he cast the "Big Ball Rasengan" without thinking.

As a no-seal ninjutsu, its feature of not needing to form a seal is just right for the current situation.

A ball of chakra appeared in the palm of his left hand, then condensed into a ball, and then expanded rapidly, stirring the surrounding seawater to spin rapidly.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he used balloons to practice the ‘Rasengan’, constantly mobilizing the chakra in his body and injecting it into his palm.

Finally, with a "bang", the surrounding water shield could no longer hold on and was broken by the seawater inside.

The ‘Water Prison Technique’ was broken, and the water prison that imprisoned him was broken. Qingming didn't care about breathing, his legs suddenly exerted force, and the whole person rushed forward.

The next moment, an extremely sharp ice spear pierced from below, brushed his back, and shot into the sky.

It can be imagined that if he had just stayed in the same place, he would have been pierced by this shot.

At that time, even if he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan in time and used the pupil technique in his left eye - ‘Heavenly Guardian’ to avoid this attack, his own secrets would be exposed.

Perhaps the existence of ‘Heaven’s Guard’ can allow him to kill or even control Hoshigaki Kisame unexpectedly, but he can never kill both him and Yukikaze at the same time.

Yes, two people.

Splash~

The sea surface was stretched open, and a shark with a body length of two or three meters appeared. A figure emerged from its mouth. It was Yukikaze who escaped from his hands before.

At some point, it actually reached a cooperation with Hoshigaki Kisame and hid in the stomach of the other party’s summoned beast, ready to give him a fatal blow.

Yes, this shark is not a chakra creation, but a real creature, and it is also the summoned beast of Hoshigaki Kisame.

And the chakra fluctuation he just sensed was the movement of the snow wind released from his body.

Fortunately, he was sensitive and discovered this, and stopped the opening of the Mangekyō Sharingan in time, otherwise it would definitely be a lot of trouble.

Qingming looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and Yukikaze standing side by side, his face was a little ugly.

Just now, he was still proud of himself for calculating Hoshigaki Kisame, but now it seems that it was not he who calculated the other party, but the other party who calculated him.

Maybe Hoshigaki Kisame didn't know that he wanted to capture him alive, but after he used the "Water Clone Technique", he was sure that he could see through it.

Yes, the ability of the Sharingan is not a secret. As long as the other party thinks about it from another perspective, he can guess that he can see through the details of the water clone.

In this way, he pretended not to know, which was a bit fake.

It is estimated that it was also at that time that he was sure that he had some conspiracy.

So, he used the "Water Style·Water Prison Technique" to trap him.

Of course, at that time, he probably guessed that a mere "Water Prison Technique" could not trap him, because since he dared to use himself as bait, he must have sufficient back-up.

In fact, it was true.

If Xuefeng hadn't intervened, he would immediately activate the "Heavenly Guardian" to escape from the water prison and control him.

Unfortunately, Xuefeng appeared and disrupted his plan.

However, if Xuefeng hadn't cooperated, Hoshigaki Kisame probably wouldn't have given him this opportunity.

After all, in this wave of calculations, he was on the third floor, and the opponent was on the fifth floor.

Only he had the means to escape from the water prison in time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

But in this way, it would be more difficult for him to capture the opponent alive.

"Damn it!"

Qingming looked at Xuefeng in front of him and cursed in his heart.

After a long time, he sorted out his mood and began to think about what to do next.

Not to mention Hoshigaki Kisame, he is definitely a strong enemy and needs his wholehearted response.

As for Xuefeng.

Although he was injured by him in the previous battle, judging from his current appearance, he has obviously recovered after this period of treatment.

Conservatively speaking, he should still have 60% to 70% of his combat power.

In this way, the cooperation of the two is really difficult to deal with.

While Qingming was thinking about how to deal with the two, the two were also thinking about how to deal with him.

For a while, the field was a little quiet.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At a certain moment, a gust of sea breeze blew, blowing up waves several meters high, hitting the three people.

In an instant, the three people moved together and faced each other.

Obviously, the three people had the same idea, that is, they were not sure how to deal with the enemy for the time being, so they would just fight head-on.

In terms of close combat, either Hoshigaki Kisame or Yukikaze, alone against Qingming, might not be a match.

But the two were confident that if they joined forces, Qingming would not be able to defeat them easily.

Therefore, they launched an attack directly.

Similarly, facing the attack of the two, Qingming was not afraid at all.

He has level 4 ‘Instant Sword Technique’, level 6 ‘Illusion Sword Technique’, and level 7 (0/0) ‘Sword Technique’.

Let’s not talk about the former, as it is not very threatening to the two people in front of him, but the latter two, either of which is a killer in the hands of an ordinary jonin.

So, he was not afraid at all and chose to fight directly.
