"Heh~"
After putting down the corpse in his hand, Qing Ming looked around at the six mist ninjas who had regained their calm, their faces now filled with caution. He let out a cold laugh.
These ninjas were frightened by his previous actions and dared not to take the initiative to attack. However, their hesitation didn't mean Qing Ming would refrain from attacking; he still needed to absorb more chakra before the few mist ninjas of the higher ranks managed to break free!
It had been nearly a minute since he started, and he still hadn't encountered any enemies at the rank of a jounin. This wasn't due to good luck or the mist not having jounin; rather, it was because the mist's jounin had been held up by the Konoha ninjas.
At the start, these Konoha ninjas may have been trying to buy Qing Ming time to use his ninjutsu and take to the sky again. But after Qing Ming's display over the last few seconds, they understood that Qing Ming was no ordinary jounin—he could offer tremendous assistance even on the ground.
Naturally, they had redoubled their efforts.
Qing Ming, of course, wouldn't let such an opportunity go to waste.
His thoughts shifted quickly. Qing Ming raised both hands, forming a Tiger hand seal and immediately casting the Fire Style: Flame Bullet Jutsu on one of the mist ninjas.
Boom~
A ball of flame erupted, catching the mist ninja off guard. His clothes caught fire instantly.
The flames surged, engulfing him entirely.
"Ah~"
A scream of agony echoed from his mouth.
"Chi-ren!"
Someone called his name, but unfortunately, he was beyond answering.
Qing Ming paid no mind to the ninja's fate, having completed his jutsu. As his flames disrupted the concentration of the other mist ninjas, he swiftly switched to another set of hand seals, crossing his hands and forming the "Ren" seal to cast Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Boom~
A puff of chakra smoke erupted, and Qing Ming's figure split into five, each rushing toward one of the mist ninjas.
This wasn't just to speed things up; it was also to distribute the chakra within his body. After the recent chakra replenishment, the chakra he had consumed over the past hour and during the journey was now fully restored.
To store even more chakra, he had to use Shadow Clones.
However, even if they were just clones, they were no match for the mist ninjas.
Within seconds, three of the mist ninjas were captured—one by Qing Ming's main body, and the other two simply lacked the strength to resist.
As for the remaining two, they too were swiftly captured.
Everything happened so quickly that the other mist ninjas barely had time to react. The six who had surrounded Qing Ming were all swiftly neutralized.
Qing Ming absorbed the chakra from the mist ninjas in his hands and then immediately flashed to the one who had been consumed by flames.
Because he had intentionally controlled the flames, the ninja had not been burned to death, and now the fire had already been extinguished.
Qing Ming looked into his eyes and activated the Genjutsu: Sharingan. In an instant, the mist ninja was paralyzed. Qing Ming didn't care about his severe burns and immediately began to absorb his chakra using the Chakra Absorption Technique.
One of the mist ninjas noticed Qing Ming's actions and tried to stop him. However, he was alone, with the others either engaged in battle with Konoha ninjas or too far away to intervene.
Therefore, he dared not approach and instead threw a kunai from a distance.
Sensing the move, Qing Ming glanced at it and noticed an explosive tag attached to it. Without hesitation, he threw a kunai back at it.
Clang~
The two kunai collided in mid-air, making a sharp metallic sound.
Sparks flew as the kunai changed directions, both plunging toward the ground.
Boom~
The explosive tag went off with a loud bang but did no harm to Qing Ming.
At that moment, the other Shadow Clones also finished absorbing the chakra from the mist ninjas in their hands.
Without needing further instruction, they joined the ongoing battles between the Konoha ninjas and the mist ninjas.
With the addition of his four Shadow Clones, the situation quickly tilted in favor of Konoha.
After all, each of his four Shadow Clones, having absorbed chakra, had over 30,000 points of chakra, far more than an average jounin. As for other abilities, their defensive capabilities might not be as good as his real body, but their close combat and long-range ninjutsu were on par with a typical jounin.
Moreover, with their skills in various ninjutsu perfected to near perfect levels, their offensive power was even stronger.
Not to mention, each clone possessed a Sharingan.
Though the clones couldn't fully unleash the potential of the Sharingan due to their nature, even at 70% or 50% power, it was still a substantial boost.
Thus, the mist ninjas weren't just up against one jounin, but five.
Could the mist ninjas handle that?
The answer was obvious.
After about half an hour, Qing Ming and his clones had eliminated more than twenty of the mist ninjas, and over ten others fell to the Konoha ninjas.
By the end, only around ten mist ninjas were left, and they fled toward the first battlefield.
...
In the forest.
Qing Ming and a group of Konoha ninjas were in pursuit.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look into the distance.
Seeing this, a Konoha jounin also paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qing Ming raised a hand, signaling for silence.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the unique chakra signature of a Tailed Beast in the air.
Faintly, he noticed that the chakra had suddenly intensified, becoming much more violent, almost as if it had been provoked by something.
Connecting this to his earlier deductions, Qing Ming could almost confirm that the person was none other than Minato Namikaze. It was highly likely that he had engaged the Six-Tails.
Suddenly, Qing Ming opened his eyes and turned to the nearby Konoha jounin, saying, "I have other tasks, so I won't be heading to that battlefield. Be careful."
Without waiting for a response, he swiftly activated Wind Style: Wind Wings and Chakra Armor, flying into the sky at full speed.
Without a second glance, he headed toward the direction from which the intense chakra was emanating.
Watching his retreating figure, the Konoha jounin wanted to say something, but there was no time.
After a moment's pause, he gave a small sigh and shouted, "Don't stop, keep chasing!"
"Yes!"
A sparse reply echoed.
The Konoha ninjas seemed somewhat dispirited.
It was understandable, as Qing Ming's performance had been so remarkable. The departure of such a powerful figure naturally affected their morale.
But unfortunately, their reactions didn't matter to Qing Ming.
Tonight, he was gone.
