Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

After a few breaths.

After dodging four rounds of crossbow arrows, Qingming finally escaped the attack range of the crossbow cart.

At this time, looking down, he saw that the warships of the Mist Hidden Ninja were getting closer again.

Some of the Mist Ninjas left their team and gathered under the Mist Hidden Ninja's subordinates to the east of the fleet, making the defense there no longer a gap.

In this way, coupled with the dozen crossbow carts that were eyeing them covetously in the south, Qingming felt that the defense of the Mist Ninjas was stronger.

He glanced at the battlefield in front, and the Mist Ninjas there still had no intention of retreating.

‘No, the pressure is still not enough. ’

With this thought, Qingming did not hesitate at all, and immediately attacked the fleet below from the north, which was farthest from the crossbow cart.

Seeing this, the snow mountain in charge of defending the south immediately ordered the Mist Ninja who was operating the crossbow cart: "Attack!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Five crossbow arrows shot in.

The chakra wings behind Qingming flapped, and he nimbly dodged the crossbow attack, and then skillfully used the shock wave generated by the explosion of the crossbow behind him to accelerate and arrived in front of the Kirigakure fleet.

The second wave of crossbows is coming!

Qingming did not hesitate at all, and immediately raised his hand to seal and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wind Blade!

Swish~

A wind blade more than ten meters long appeared, cutting at the incoming crossbow at an extremely fast speed.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and the moment of contact, the wind blade was like a hot knife cutting butter, easily passing through the crossbow.

In an instant, three of the five crossbows broke.

Because the latter half was missing, the flight trajectory of these three crossbows was affected, and they flew straight to other places, completely deviating from Qingming.

As for the remaining two.

Qingming just slightly turned his body to avoid the attack.

At this time, he was not far from the Kirigakure fleet.

"Attack!"

As the defending Mist Hidden Ninja gave the order, the mid-level and junior ninja immediately threw the kunai and shurikens that had been prepared long ago.

In an instant, dense kunai and shurikens shot towards Qingming.

But such an attack obviously could not hurt Qingming.

He pushed the three-magatama Sharingan to the limit, and with its powerful insight, he easily avoided the attack.

Then, he performed the ninjutsu without hesitation - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique, aiming directly at a warship behind them.

However, the expected flames did not appear.

Just as the fire dragon he released was about to approach the warship, the Mist Hidden Ninja performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Array Wall!

A water wall suddenly rose up and blocked the fire dragon.

The huge fire dragon hit it and almost penetrated it. The water wall on the other side bulged out a large piece, but it failed in the end.

Zizizizi~

A large amount of white mist rose up.

Qingming was slightly disappointed when he saw this scene.

If it was on land, this move would definitely break the opponent's defense.

Unfortunately, this is the sea, and the bonus to water escape here is too high.

On the contrary, the power of the fire escape he used was only 60% of the normal power at most.

In this way, even if he consumed more chakra, he could not break the opponent's defense.

It must be said that this Mist Hidden Ninja chose to defend instead of attack, which was indeed a good choice.

At this time, Qingming had no second chance to cast a spell.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The familiar sound of breaking through the air came again.

The third wave of crossbow arrows shot at him.

This time, because the distance was closer, Qingming had less time to dodge.

Not only that, it would take him longer to get out of the opponent's attack range.

Fortunately, Qingming was prepared for this.

He flapped his wings, turned 180 degrees, and flew straight to the back and higher.

That's right, if he failed in one attack, he would directly choose to escape thousands of miles away.

Qingming didn't believe that the crossbow arrows of Mist Hidden Ninja were still infinitely ineffective.

As long as he can master the rhythm and do it a few more times, even if he can't destroy the Kirigakure warships, he can use up their reserve crossbows.

At that time, it will be easier to attack those warships.

Qingming believes that as long as he continues to put pressure on the other side, he will sooner or later attract the Kirigakure ninjas in front to come back for help.

At that time, it should not be a problem to send a message to Sano Nobuhisa to cooperate and force the other side to withdraw.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. As soon as Qingming got out of the attack range of the crossbow cart, he found a new direction and dived towards the Kirigakure fleet below.

The whole process was the same as before. First, he dodged two rounds of crossbow attacks, and then attacked the fleet under the attack of a group of Kirigakure ninjas.

After that, Qingming would quickly withdraw regardless of whether the other side blocked it.

Generally, at this time, the southernmost Kirigakure ninjas almost shot the third wave of crossbows.

Of course, if the other side chooses not to shoot, Qingming will also respond flexibly and continue to attack the fleet.

In short, it is to consume Kirigakure's crossbow reserves as much as possible.

At first, Ozawa Yushu hadn't discovered anything, but after Qingming had played two rounds, he guessed Qingming's plan.

However, after some contemplation, he found that his side had no good countermeasures.

In the final analysis, the ninja world still respects strength. If you are not strong enough, no matter how many means you have, you can only be led by the nose and then passively beaten.

At this time, the fog ninja below was in this situation.

Ozawa Yushu's face changed for a while, and he learned about the battle in front again. After confirming that he could not capture the Black Stone Stronghold, he could only reluctantly issue a retreat order.

Although it is not the time of exhaustion yet, it is the best time to retreat. If we fight to the last breath, it will be difficult to retreat.

Coincidentally, the Black Stone Stronghold is not the focus of the village's attack this time. Strictly speaking, his side can only be regarded as a feint attack.

In this way, a temporary retreat is also justified.

As his order was issued, the Mist Ninjas who were fighting with the Konoha Ninjas in front began to retreat in an orderly manner under the command of a group of senior ninjas.

Sano Nobuhisa saw this scene and thought about chasing, but when he learned about the situation of the surviving Konoha Ninjas, he decisively gave up this idea.

Just as the Black Stone Stronghold is not the main attack direction of the Hidden Mist Village, his mission is not to immediately recapture the stronghold of Feiyu Town.

Konoha is now fighting on multiple fronts, and it is necessary to seize the big and let go of the small. Feiyu Town must be taken back in the end, but not now.

Now, he only needs to defend the Black Stone Stronghold and ensure that the Mist Ninjas in Feiyu Town do not run around.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decisively gave up the plan of pursuit.

However, in order to prevent Wuyin from making a surprise attack, he still ordered Qingming to follow Wuyin's fleet to ensure that they really left.

Qingming gladly accepted this task.

He even did not use his original body, but separated a shadow clone to carry out this task.

After all, he could fly higher if he was just following the opponent, even if it was a shadow clone, there would be no problem.

As for himself.

Of course, he would hurry up to complete today's training plan.
