At the same time, Takagi Chosuke also cast his gaze over, and the moment their eyes met, he became fully alert.
However, in the face of absolute strength, mere vigilance is not enough.
As Qingming joined the battle and teamed up with his shadow clone, it didn't take long before he left several wounds on the enemies.
Seeing that Takagi Chosuke was struggling, another hidden Mist ninja arrived.
Whoosh~
A kunai shot from the side.
Qingming frowned slightly as his peripheral vision caught the kunai, and upon seeing the person who threw it, he inwardly thought, "Just as I expected!"
Earlier, he had guessed that the Hidden Mist command would not let him act freely, even if he defeated the two of them.
Now it seemed his guess was correct.
Seeing that the Hidden Mist command realized things were not going well, they immediately sent reinforcements.
It looked like the new arrival was another real elite ninja.
However, he didn't look too good.
There were several visible injuries, not to mention the chakra that had already been depleted inside him.
Clearly, he had just come from another battlefield.
This indicated that the Hidden Mist didn't have many people to spare.
But whether the person came from another battle or not, the arrival of two real elite ninjas was enough to cause some trouble.
Moreover, the Hidden Mist command had quietly sent a few chunin to approach the injured Raijin and seemed intent on rescuing him.
Qingming could not allow this.
Without hesitation, he dodged the kunai that came from the side with a flash, then wielded his blade and blocked the counterattack from Takagi Chosuke.
Finally, he gave a subtle signal to his shadow clone.
Since the shadow clone shared his memories, even without verbal communication, it could intuitively understand his intentions upon seeing the gesture.
Immediately, the shadow clone withdrew and went to Raijin's side.
Seeing this, the few Hidden Mist chunin intended to interfere, but the shadow clone made quick work of them in just a few exchanges.
Afterward, this shadow clone, just like the previous one, wasted no time and immediately used "Wind Release: Wind Wings" and "Chakra Armor" to fly off the battlefield.
However, the earlier shadow clones had gathered enough chakra to go out and train to process it.
This new shadow clone, though, was holding onto Raijin, preparing to extract the information Qingming wanted.
As they left, Qingming felt relieved.
Then, without holding back, he went one-on-one against Takagi Chosuke and the remaining Hidden Mist elite ninja, nearly overwhelming them in a short time.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
About a quarter of an hour later, a message came from the command post.
According to Nara Keiko, the Hidden Mist forces attacking the camp had been repelled, and the troops inside the camp were pursuing them.
Nara Keiko instructed them to destroy the Hidden Mist's defense line within the next quarter-hour if possible.
Otherwise, they would have to immediately return to intercept the retreating Hidden Mist forces.
"A quarter-hour, huh?"
Qingming murmured as he glanced at the battlefield not far away during a brief pause in the battle.
The shortening of the third Hidden Mist defense line had allowed their three teams to cooperate, but at the same time, it also made it harder for the Hidden Mist ninjas within the line to assist each other.
As a result, even though half an hour had passed, the defense line still hadn't been breached.
In fact, it was almost done, but now...
Who knows?
They had received messages from the camp, and the Hidden Mist inside had naturally heard that their attacking forces were being repelled.
Given this situation, the possibility of them stubbornly holding their ground had increased.
After all, if their troops withdrew, they could be surrounded from both sides by the pursuing forces from the camp.
At that point, the retreating Hidden Mist would undoubtedly suffer significant losses.
Therefore, the Hidden Mist command would likely choose to hold out for as long as possible to delay things further.
Even if they decided to retreat, the opposing side would pursue.
In a sense, both sides had already reached a stalemate.
However, this was not a situation Qingming was willing to accept.
This war had already gone on for long enough, and Qingming didn't want to waste any more time here.
Thus, he was determined to seize this opportunity to end the battle.
Moreover, the so-called stalemate was merely the Hidden Mist forces trying to endure.
In truth, in terms of both high-level and low-level combat strength, the Hidden Mist had already fallen behind.
All that was needed now was for someone to deliver the final blow, tipping the balance completely.
And Qingming intended to be that person.
But before that, he needed to deal with the two opponents in front of him.
This was not a difficult task.
The past several minutes of combat had already given him enough of an advantage.
Now, it was time to turn that into a decisive victory.
With this thought in mind, Qingming unleashed all of his chakra, forcing Takagi Chosuke and the remaining Hidden Mist elite ninja to retreat.
Immediately afterward, he sheathed his sword and formed the hand seals to perform a jutsu—Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
Whoosh~
A fiery breath shot out, transforming into three fire dragons, one of which charged toward Takagi Chosuke, while the other two attacked the already-injured Hidden Mist ninja.
The two saw this and wasted no time in casting their own jutsu to block the fire dragons.
Qingming, sensing the opportunity, quickly performed another jutsu—Water Style: Water Severing Wave, sweeping the two of them apart.
It was at this moment that he drew his sword and used "Instant Sword Technique," moving at a speed nearly impossible to track with the naked eye to appear in front of the injured Hidden Mist ninja.
Whoosh~
The blade glimmered.
In an instant, Qingming unleashed both "Illusion Sword Technique" and "Shadow Sword Technique," creating three real and three illusory sword slashes, each aimed at different angles toward his opponent.
Had the Hidden Mist ninja been at full strength, he might have been able to block such an attack.
However, after several battles, he had already sustained considerable injuries, and his reaction time had slowed significantly.
As a result, he dared not face the attack head-on and was forced to retreat.
And Qingming was waiting for that retreat.
With another chakra burst, Qingming kicked the ground, propelling himself forward like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the Hidden Mist ninja.
As he swung his blade, he extended his left hand.
Silently, a high-density chakra ball appeared in his palm.
The Hidden Mist ninja had just blocked the sword strike when he sensed the impending danger.
He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Crack crack crack~
A series of crisp bone-cracking sounds echoed.
Qingming slammed the "Rasengan" into the ninja's chest, sending him flying.
At level 8, Qingming might not have been able to seize such an opportunity against a real elite ninja.
But now, with his promotion to level 9 (0/0) and achieving the perfect stage, he could do it.
Whoosh~
A large mouthful of blood sprayed from the Hidden Mist ninja's mouth.
His body crashed to the ground, and with his previous injuries, he couldn't get up again.
Just then, Takagi Chosuke arrived.
Qingming didn't pause for a moment and immediately engaged him in battle.
Clang clang clang~
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air.
At first, Takagi Chosuke managed to keep up with Qingming's speed with sheer willpower, but after just a minute or two, he was completely overwhelmed.
Without his teammate's assistance, he was no match for Qingming.
Moreover, during their previous skirmishes, Qingming had gathered a lot of information on their tactics using his Sharingan.
It didn't take long for Qingming to drive his long sword into Takagi Chosuke's abdomen.
Whoosh~
A mouthful of blood spilled from Takagi Chosuke's mouth.
Before he could react, Qingming swung his left hand, fingers forming a blade, and used "Chakra Scalpel" to instantly sever his throat.
"Heh heh heh~"
A series of meaningless sounds escaped his mouth.
Clang~
The kunai in his hand fell to the ground.
Takagi Chosuke, hands clutching his throat, eyes wide open, stared at Qingming, filled with unwillingness.
But unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, it was of no use.
Whoosh~
Qingming withdrew his long sword, and a flood of blood poured from Takagi Chosuke's abdomen.
In an instant, he lost all life.
With that, both Hidden Mist elite ninjas had been defeated at Qingming's hands.
