Chapter 380 - Chapter 381: A Flaw

"Damn it!"

Looking at Qingming flying away into the sky, Terumi Mei's face darkened, and after cursing inwardly, she immediately shouted, "Chase!"

With that, she led the way, charging after him.

Seeing this, the other few Mist Hidden Jonin exchanged glances and followed her closely.

However, Qingming had the advantage of flying in the air without any hindrances, while they were forced to run on the ground, navigating through obstacles. Their speed simply couldn't match his.

So, when they finally reached the battlefield, they saw Qingming hovering in the sky, continuously using various ninjutsu to attack the Mist Ninjas below.

Although the Mist Ninjas did try to retaliate, they couldn't pose much of a threat to Qingming and were mostly in a passive position, suffering significant casualties in a short amount of time.

Previously, when he was shifting from place to place, it was to delay the Mist Ninjas' advance, while also avoiding Terumi Mei and the other Jonin's counterattacks. That was why he hadn't inflicted too many casualties on the Mist Ninjas.

But now, with those concerns gone, his aerial advantage immediately became apparent.

With the help of his Sharingan, he hovered above, easily dealing massive damage to the Mist Ninja forces.

Taking advantage of this, the nearby Konoha ninjas also began to group together and put up a stronger resistance against the Mist's attacks.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Qingming glanced back at the approaching Terumi Mei and the others.

Without hesitation, he quickly completed a hand seal, took a deep breath, and unleashed the ninjutsu—Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

With a chakra consumption of 2000 points, the resulting tornado was as destructive as a natural disaster.

Even though Terumi Mei and the others were formidable, they had no choice but to retreat temporarily in the face of this attack.

Seeing this, Qingming didn't engage with them further and immediately flew to another battlefield, launching an assault on the Mist Ninjas there.

It wasn't that he was being unreasonable; it was just that the Mist Ninjas had sent an overwhelming number of forces.

Furthermore, they had caught the base off guard with a successful surprise attack, and if he didn't intervene, the situation wouldn't stabilize.

At times like this, if he still tried to follow some kind of "military code" and focused on battles between equal numbers, it would be a joke.

As for the fact that they had broken the unspoken rules and targeted Konoha's lower-ranking ninjas, Qingming could only say, "Then let's mutually harm each other!"

After all, the Mist Ninjas far outnumbered the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield. Even if they managed to take the base, it wouldn't matter much if both sides' lower-ranking ninjas were wiped out.

Luckily, Terumi Mei and the other Mist Jonin didn't lose their minds and continued focusing on chasing him, rather than targeting the lower-ranking ninjas.

However, because Qingming could fly, he held a significant advantage.

With his superior mobility, he managed to avoid the pursuit of the Mist Jonin while swiftly moving between various battlefields, continuing to deal substantial damage to the Mist forces.

But, as they say, "The more you walk by the river, the more likely you are to get your feet wet."

As Qingming used his ninjutsu more frequently, the flaw in his Wind Style: Wind Wings began to show.

So, when he once again attacked the Mist Ninjas below, Terumi Mei made her move.

In an instant, she formed a series of hand seals and spat out a highly corrosive liquid.

Qingming recognized the technique immediately—it was Dissolution Style: Dissolution Monster Technique, a bloodline technique she possessed.

Terumi Mei had two bloodline limits: Boil Release and Dissolution Release. Qingming had encountered both techniques during their first battle.

Without hesitation, Qingming used his chakra wings to fly away from the corrosive liquid.

However, at that very moment, several shuriken were hurled toward him.

Strangely, only two of them were aimed at him, while the others missed by quite a large margin.

At first, Qingming thought they might be trying something tricky, but when he focused on the trajectory of the shuriken, his pupils contracted.

The truth was that the shuriken were aimed at the places where he was most likely to dodge. It was clear that they had figured out the limitations of his Wind Style: Wind Wings, and the earlier attack was just an experiment.

Qingming narrowly dodged the incoming shuriken, silently thinking, "As expected, I can't underestimate anyone!"

Indeed, after mastering the flight technique, he had gained a huge advantage.

But Terumi Mei and the others were no pushovers. With their rich combat experience, they had already identified the flaw, or shortcoming, in Wind Style: Wind Wings.

If Qingming wasn't mistaken, they were now about to exploit that flaw.

As he was thinking this, the two Mist Anbu simultaneously used their ninjutsu—Water Style: Cut Rain!

In the next moment, a torrent of raindrops, sharp as needles, rained down toward him.

If one observed closely, they would see that all the raindrops were converging toward his chakra wings.

It was clear that this was a deliberate targeting maneuver.

As a result, Qingming had no choice but to consume more chakra to maintain the effect of his ninjutsu.

But this was just the beginning.

As he prepared to fly out of range of the enemy ninjutsu, a large number of shuriken and kunai came flying toward him from below.

The attack came not from Terumi Mei and the other Jonin, but from the lower-ranking ninjas.

Terumi Mei and the others had somehow managed to coordinate the lower-ranking ninjas and organized a joint attack without him realizing.

Seeing the shuriken and kunai, Qingming's Sharingan rapidly spun, and he instantly analyzed their trajectory.

With a flash of movement, he dodged the incoming projectiles.

At the same time, he began to fly higher.

However, how could Terumi Mei and the others let him escape so easily?

Just as Qingming ascended into the air, two water-based whips shot up like venomous snakes, aiming to bind his ankles.

He felt a strong pulling force and turned his head to see that the two Mist Anbu were holding the other ends of the whips.

Water Style: Water Flow Whip?

Qingming's mind raced as he recognized the technique.

Upon noticing that Qingming was looking at them, the two Mist Anbu immediately looked away and pulled on the whips, trying to drag him down.

But how could Qingming easily submit?

With a flick of his right hand, he formed a chakra blade and sliced through the water whip wrapped around his right foot.

Then, with another swing, he cut through the second whip.

This wasn't just any ninjutsu; it was a medical ninjutsu—Chakra Scalpel!

Since learning this technique, he hadn't had the chance to use it in battle.

Now that he tried it, the result was perfect.

"Indeed, the more techniques you master, the better. The ancients weren't wrong!" Qingming thought to himself as he regained his freedom.

Without the Chakra Scalpel, although he could have broken free, it wouldn't have been as easy.

This also strengthened his resolve to continue improving his skill set.
