After dealing with the two enemies, Qingming showed no signs of hesitation. He immediately used his ninjutsu—'Wind Release: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Armor'—to soar into the sky above the battlefield.
Circling around the third defensive line of the Mist Village, he quickly gained a deeper understanding of the entire battlefield situation, combining the information sent by the various Jonin. Just as he had speculated, the reason the third line of defense had yet to be breached was due to the Mist Ninja holding their ground.
Originally, they had planned to leave a weak spot on the eastern side, effectively lowering the Mist Ninja's resistance and facilitating their retreat. However, the sudden shift in the situation at the rear camp disrupted their plan.
Instead of retreating, the Mist Ninja inside the defensive line reinforced the other three directions by sending reinforcements from the east, strengthening their defense. As a result, the Mist Ninja had successfully stabilized the situation.
Qingming could only sigh and accept that, while their plan was sound, a small change in circumstances created a major flaw. As the saying goes, "Plans can never keep up with changes."
Fortunately, they still had him, a formidable force, to support them.
As he had often said in the past, in the face of overwhelming power, any complicated strategy was just futile.
Instead of attacking the Mist Ninja's weakest point on the eastern line, Qingming chose to target the most intense battlefield. From a great distance, he used ninjutsu—'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'.
The scene of the sun crashing to the earth was recreated. This time, no one could stop him.
Qingming formed a massive fireball, over thirty meters in diameter, in mid-air, and hurled it toward the Mist Village's defensive line. Upon impact, the fireball exploded, spreading flames everywhere. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed a vast area.
The buildings within the flames quickly turned black.
However, the Mist Ninja stationed here were mainly on the front lines, so there were few casualties.
But that was not Qingming's main objective. The fireball was meant to destroy any possible traps or mechanisms in the area.
That wasn't the end of his attack.
Qingming flapped his wings, avoiding some incoming ninja tools, and quickly formed hand seals. He cast another ninjutsu—'Water Release: Exploding Water Collision Wave'!
In an instant, a waterfall cascaded down, flooding the crater formed by the explosion. Before long, it turned into a small lake.
Now, even if there were still any remaining dangers, they would be effectively blocked by the water, ensuring Qingming's escape.
Once his safety was secured, Qingming wasted no time. He dived downward and landed on the surface of the water.
Canceling his 'Wind Release: Wind Wings', Qingming observed the approaching Mist Ninja. Without hesitation, he chose the densest group and threw a shuriken.
He quickly formed hand seals, and just as the shuriken reached the Mist Ninja, he cast 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique'!
Instantly, the shuriken multiplied, going from one to two, two to four, and then four to eight. In the blink of an eye, it turned into hundreds of shuriken, all flying toward the Mist Ninja.
The Mist Ninja had no time to react. They were mostly low to mid-level ninjas, and with Qingming's sudden attack and the lack of interference from the other Jonin, they were completely overwhelmed.
Several Genin were hit by the shuriken, some dying instantly, others seriously injured and collapsing to the ground. The rest of them were in chaos.
Qingming barely spared them a glance before turning his attention to another group.
At that moment, several Mist Ninja Chunin had sneaked closer, but their reaction and fighting experience were not enough to overcome Qingming's power.
They were immediately forced back by Qingming's 'Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique'. Three giant fire dragons flew out, forcing the group of Chunin to retreat.
Seizing this opportunity, Qingming turned around again, launching another ninjutsu—'Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere'!
He spat out multiple chakra balls, resembling invisible bullets, which struck the Mist Ninja. Because they were closer, this attack was even more deadly than the previous one with the shuriken clones.
Some Mist Ninja were hit in the head and died on the spot.
Qingming continued his rapid succession of techniques, repelling the enemy. While they were only low to mid-level ninjas, this still displayed his overwhelming power.
Seeing this, the remaining Mist Ninja dared not move recklessly. However, their hesitation did not mean Qingming would stop.
Not giving the Mist Ninja any chance to reorganize, Qingming countered their first wave of attacks, drawing his long sword.
Shing~
A faint blue light surrounded him as he used 'Instant Sword Technique'. With a flash, he dashed into the Mist Ninja ranks.
"Be careful!"
"Block him!"
"Kill him!"
Shouts rang out in the crowd. Qingming said nothing as he activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to its fullest.
Everything around him seemed to slow down, and no movement of the Mist Ninja escaped his eyes. His mind worked like a precision instrument, processing all the information and enabling him to make the best decisions.
Using his superior physical ability, Qingming weaved through the Mist Ninja, dodging, blocking, and counterattacking. In moments, he had scattered the enemy and left them in disarray, unable to approach him.
The disparity in strength was clear.
As time passed, more and more Mist Ninja gathered around Qingming, but this only created more holes in their defense.
The Mist Ninja were struggling to hold the line, trying to move more personnel to deal with Qingming, but this left other areas vulnerable. Slowly, they fell into a disadvantage.
This wasn't the Mist Commander's intent, but rather a necessity. Qingming's strategy of "focusing on one area" had forced them to divert resources to counter him, otherwise, his attack from behind would have torn the defensive line apart.
To prevent that, the Mist Commander had no choice but to reinforce different areas at the expense of others. The result was the current situation: Qingming was tied down, but other fronts were breached.
Hearing the sounds of battle coming from the defensive line, Qingming was satisfied. As long as they kept pushing the breaches, the Mist Village's defense would gradually collapse.
At that point, the Mist Ninja would have no choice but to either retreat or face annihilation.
Qingming had considered this, and so had the Mist Commander. However, simply understanding the problem wasn't enough. They needed a solution.
And unfortunately, the Mist Commander had no solution.
After a period of deep contemplation, the Mist Commander contacted the retreating Mist forces that had failed to assault the Konoha camp, discussing the next steps.
