"Ah~~~"
Painful screams echoed from below.
青冥 (Qing Ming) ignored the mist ninjas struggling in the flames. After performing his jutsu, he quickly flew away from the spot.
Soon, he found another area where the mist ninjas were gathering.
At that moment, he was about to form hand seals to launch another attack when, unexpectedly, a water dragon suddenly shot up from the ground and surged toward him.
"Water Dragon Bullet Technique?" Qing Ming recognized the technique at once.
He turned his gaze in the direction the water dragon was coming from and saw a familiar figure—wearing a blue dress with long, reddish-brown hair. It was none other than 照美冥 (Kagami Mei).
Pulling his attention back, Qing Ming manipulated the chakra wings on his back, swiftly evading the water dragon as it flew past him, missing him by inches.
After avoiding the attack, Qing Ming wasted no time. He raised his hands and quickly performed the necessary hand seals to cast the jutsu—Wind Release: Wind Blade!
He had perfected this technique to its fullest, and its power far exceeded what it once was.
In almost no time at all, a wind blade more than ten meters long was created and shot downward toward Kagami Mei.
A chill ran up Kagami Mei's spine. Without a second thought, she dodged to the side.
However, while she managed to avoid it, a few mist ninjas standing nearby were not so fortunate.
One was sliced cleanly in half by the wind blade, and two others were left mutilated, losing limbs. Their agonized screams filled the air.
Qing Ming paid no attention to their suffering. He raised his hand to form more seals, ready to launch another technique.
Just then, a fine rain began to fall.
At first, the rain was harmless, but as soon as it touched the chakra wings on his back, it began to dissipate his chakra.
Qing Ming faltered for a moment.
In that instant, Qing Ming realized something was off. His Sharingan eyes scanned the area below, and soon, he identified the person responsible for the jutsu.
The figure was cloaked in black with a mask on, unmistakably a member of the Mist's Anbu.
"Anbu of the Mist?" Qing Ming thought.
His mind quickly recalled a technique from his previous life—Water Release: Cutting Rain.
This was a secret technique of the Mist, capable of weakening all jutsu and chakra-based techniques except for water-based ones.
Clearly, the Wind Release: Wind Wings was affected by this.
As the realization hit him, Qing Ming swiftly altered his hand seals and immediately cast his own technique—Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!
In an instant, a massive water dragon formed and surged toward the opponent.
After reaching level 6, his Water Dragon Bullet had grown significantly in size, creating a heavy oppressive feeling.
Now, with the water dragon descending from above, the pressure was even more intense.
However, the Mist Anbu didn't retreat. Instead, he maintained the Cutting Rain technique, further weakening Qing Ming's chakra wings.
Was he seeking death?
Of course not.
Just as Qing Ming's water dragon was about to strike, another water dragon—equal in size—shot up from the ground and collided with Qing Ming's dragon.
Boom~
A deep, muffled sound echoed as the two dragons collided, scattering water everywhere.
Qing Ming's attack was blocked.
There was no doubt about it—the one who intervened was Kagami Mei.
She was gasping for breath, clearly having expended a great deal of energy. Qing Ming wasted no time and immediately reached into his ninja tool pouch, pulling out several shuriken and throwing them toward Kagami Mei and the Mist Anbu.
But before the shuriken could reach their targets, a dozen kunai shot from the side, intercepting all the shuriken.
Not only that, a few kunai came flying back toward Qing Ming.
He quickly flapped his wings, narrowly avoiding the attack.
His Sharingan spun, and Qing Ming turned to face the direction of the kunai. Three Anbu ninjas and several Mist jōnin had arrived.
It was clear that, after some time, they had figured out the situation.
Now, escaping would be more difficult for Qing Ming.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
His goal was to delay the Mist's offensive, and by attracting so many Mist ninjas here, he was already succeeding.
Looking back toward the base, he confirmed that the Mist's advance had slowed down compared to the initial onslaught. Qing Ming then withdrew his gaze.
Just then, another fine rain started to fall.
Among the three Mist Anbu, one more had performed the Cutting Rain technique.
As Qing Ming felt his chakra wings weakening even further, he immediately flew higher into the sky.
With a deep breath, he formed hand seals and then exhaled forcefully, performing the jutsu—Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
It was true that Cutting Rain could weaken all techniques except for water-based ones.
However, it had its limits.
When Qing Ming consumed 2,000 chakra points to cast the Great Breakthrough, the fine rain could do nothing to stop his technique.
Not only that, the fierce wind he unleashed scattered the rain in all directions.
Seeing this, Kagami Mei immediately shouted, "Everyone, attack together!"
Instantly, kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, and various jutsu were hurled toward Qing Ming.
Although Qing Ming's Wind Release: Wind Wings had reached level 2, making him much faster in the air, his agility still left much to be desired.
Despite his Sharingan allowing him to track the projectiles, he couldn't dodge them all.
Reluctantly, he continued to ascend higher.
In the sky, the Mist ninjas could no longer reach him, but he also found himself unable to attack.
After all, his techniques had limited range, and he couldn't perform long-distance attacks.
For a while, both sides were at a stalemate.
The silent standoff continued.
After a brief moment, Qing Ming couldn't hold back anymore.
The Mist had brought too many people this time.
Seeing that no one could land a decisive blow, Kagami Mei ordered the lower-ranking ninjas to join the attack, leaving only a few jōnin and herself to maintain the standoff.
The base was in danger of being breached soon, and she couldn't afford to keep playing this game of cat and mouse.
As a result, she made the first move.
However, she didn't engage Qing Ming directly.
Although Qing Ming was powerful enough to face them, he had mastered the Wind Release: Wind Wings technique, and it gave him a significant advantage in battle.
So instead of confronting them, Qing Ming bypassed the group and flew toward the Mist ninjas up ahead.
Seeing this, the faces of Kagami Mei and the others darkened.
As it's often said, in the ninja world, once you master flight, you gain a tremendous advantage in battle.
Just like Qing Ming now—whether he wanted to fight or not was entirely up to him, and unless they had a specific countermeasure, they could only follow him in his wake.
