"Heh~"
In the sky, Qingming looked down at the white mist covering the entire Mist Ninja team below and let out a cold laugh.
Then, he raised his hand and formed a series of seals, casting a jutsu—Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!
In an instant, a violent wind surged!
Below, Yoshida Eiyuu and several other Mist Ninjas struggled to maintain the mist's presence, but ultimately, they were unable to withstand Qingming's Wind Style.
The two sides held their ground for a few breaths, but soon, the mist was blown apart, scattering in all directions.
By this time, they had only advanced a few dozen meters, barely entering the outskirts of Yōjin Port, still quite a distance from the Mist Headquarters.
That distance would be an insurmountable gap.
In the sky, Qingming looked down at the Mist Ninjas whose figures were now exposed, and without hesitation, he immediately cast another jutsu—Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Just like when he faced the sixth wave of Mist Ninjas earlier, Qingming held a significant advantage in altitude.
He expended a large amount of chakra to condense a massive fireball and hurled it downward.
In that moment, the darkness receded, and the night sky within a few kilometers was illuminated as if the fireball was a burning sun, falling straight down.
The sight was so overwhelming that anyone could feel the oppressive pressure from afar, let alone those directly facing it.
Below, the Mist Ninjas watched the massive fireball, feeling the intense heat radiating from it, as though facing the sun itself, their hearts filled with fear.
They all gaped, staring up at the fireball, unable to even think of dodging it.
Clearly, they had been intimidated.
At that moment, a sharp shout suddenly rang in their ears: "Scatter!"
The voice was as deafening as thunder, immediately snapping the Mist Ninjas out of their daze.
Without hesitation, they scattered in all directions like startled birds, trying to avoid the falling fireball.
Boom~ The fireball hit the ground, exploding with a deafening roar.
Next, it turned into a surging sea of flames, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Along the way, whether it was flowers, trees, insects, or the surrounding buildings, everything was engulfed in the fire. The entire area instantly became a sea of flames.
In the sky.
Qingming was gasping for air. Even with his immense chakra, controlling such a large fireball was not a simple task.
Fortunately, the results were satisfactory.
Qingming observed the Mist Ninjas fleeing in all directions, took a deep breath, and flapped his wings. He immediately locked onto the most threatening of the Mist Ninjas—Yoshida Eiyuu.
As for the others... they were to be dealt with by the Konoha ninjas on the periphery.
Of course, even if they couldn't stop them, it didn't matter. Some low-ranking ninjas would never affect the outcome of the central battle.
Thus, Qingming only needed to focus on Yoshida Eiyuu and the two special Jonin.
Whoosh~ Qingming's figure shot forward at high speed, arriving above Yoshida Eiyuu's head.
Ahead, Yoshida Eiyuu was still running.
Suddenly, he turned around and threw a kunai at Qingming, clearly trying to catch him off guard.
Unfortunately, such a trick was completely useless against Qingming.
With a sweep of his Sharingan, Qingming locked onto the kunai's trajectory and predicted where it would land next.
Qingming simply tilted his body slightly, avoiding the kunai's path.
Not only that, he swiftly extended his finger, and as the kunai was about to graze past him, he expertly inserted his finger into the ring at the back of the kunai.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the kunai spun around his finger and was sent right back at Yoshida Eiyuu.
This time, Yoshida Eiyuu was caught off guard, and he quickly dodged, leaping to the side.
This gave Qingming an opportunity to continue his assault.
His hands moved like butterflies through flowers, performing the hand seals with precision, and then he opened his mouth to release three fire dragons in the shape of a "品" character, heading toward Yoshida Eiyuu below.
This was the upgraded version of Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique—Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
Faced with the encirclement of the three fire dragons, Yoshida Eiyuu had no time to defend and could only continue dodging.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ The three fire dragons slammed into the ground, igniting another large area, but they failed to hit Yoshida Eiyuu.
Seeing this, Qingming didn't hesitate, performing more hand seals and continuing to unleash various jutsu in an attempt to bring Yoshida Eiyuu down, as though he wouldn't rest until he was dead.
For a moment, Yoshida Eiyuu was in a desperate situation, and his injuries began to mount.
At the same time, the two special Jonin, who had scattered to avoid the Great Fireball earlier, could no longer sit idly by. They rushed to the scene.
One of them, not even close yet, immediately began performing a water-based jutsu, spewing several water balls at Qingming in midair.
Although these water balls appeared harmless, Qingming sensed a strange chakra within them, with some special effect.
Not intending to test it out, Qingming immediately flapped his wings and created distance.
Seeing this, the Mist Ninja special Jonin displayed a look of regret.
Then, he muttered a low command: "Explosion!"
In the next moment, the water balls exploded, transforming into a sticky liquid that spread in all directions.
One could imagine that if Qingming were caught in it, he would be affected.
"Just as I thought, a special property change."
Qingming muttered to himself as he observed the scene.
Although he hadn't seen this type of water chakra before, he recognized it from memory.
He recalled that one of Konoha's "Gatekeepers," Kamizuki Izuna, could perform a similar chakra transformation, creating two unique jutsu—Water Style: Water Taffy and Water Style: Water Taffy Bind.
The chakra transformation in these jutsus was highly viscous.
Perhaps the property change used by the Mist Ninja below was different from Kamizuki Izuna's, but the effect was similar.
Thus, as long as he avoided getting stuck in it, he would be fine.
With that thought in mind, Qingming raised his hand to perform another jutsu—Wind Style: Wind Blade!
Whoosh~ A transparent wind blade, about a meter long, flew toward the Mist Ninja's midsection.
Sensing the danger, Kawada Koji immediately leapt backward, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Taking advantage of this, Yoshida Eiyuu finally regained his composure and stood alongside the other special Jonin, both of them warily eyeing Qingming.
This time, Qingming didn't rush to attack.
His task was to block these individuals, not necessarily kill them.
Earlier, his full-force attacks, expending chakra rapidly, and targeting Yoshida Eiyuu, were all part of a plan to lure the other two special Jonin over.
The low-ranking ninjas posed no threat, but the two special Jonin had the strength to influence the battle at the Mist Headquarters.
Therefore, he had to draw them in.
Demonstrating the ability to kill Yoshida Eiyuu was the most straightforward and effective way—unless these two special Jonin could ignore Yoshida Eiyuu's life or death, they would be forced to come.
Now that they had arrived, Qingming no longer needed to push them too hard.
