Half an hour later, outside the Blackstone Base.
In the southwestern dense forest.
Qingming and Uchiha Shisui carefully made their way through the woods, doing their best to avoid wandering Mist ninjas and various battlefields.
In order to ensure their movements remained undetected and to accommodate Uchiha Shisui, Qingming had not flown directly out of the base this time. Instead, he and Uchiha Shisui planned to cross through the outer battlefield of the base.
For most people, this might be troublesome, but Qingming and Uchiha Shisui were no ordinary individuals. Their excellent sensory abilities allowed them to easily avoid the wandering Mist ninjas along the way.
Thus, although it took some time, the two managed to successfully exit the battle zone.
Afterward, without hesitation, they immediately accelerated forward, heading directly toward the location of Yotsu Port as indicated on the map.
Several hours later, it was noon.
Under the not-so-intense sunlight, Qingming and Uchiha Shisui ran swiftly across the fields, approaching a dense forest ahead.
Once they crossed through this forest, they would only need another half-hour to reach the assembly point mentioned in the order.
Entering the forest, a faint mist enveloped the area.
The sunlight above filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating beams of light that resembled roads of light due to the Tyndall effect, making it look incredibly beautiful.
However, neither Qingming nor Uchiha Shisui had the mood to appreciate such scenery.
The reason was simple—despite the high humidity in the forest air, it shouldn't have formed such mist by noon.
There was certainly something wrong.
The two stopped abruptly and exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's thoughts. They immediately stood back-to-back, preparing for a potential ambush.
Qingming released his sensory perception and carefully felt everything around him.
In the mist, he faintly detected a familiar presence—the chakra scent.
"Mist ninjutsu?"
In an instant, Qingming thought of the technique.
At that moment, a dense barrage of kunai suddenly shot toward them from all directions, like raindrops, targeting both Qingming and Uchiha Shisui.
"Be careful!" Uchiha Shisui warned, activating his Sharingan. He stepped forward and swung his kunai to block the incoming kunai attack from behind.
However, Qingming remained motionless.
Just as the kunai was about to hit him, his skin suddenly turned rough and stone-like, giving off an indestructible impression.
In fact, this was true.
After three days of practice, his "Earth Style: Hardening Jutsu" had leveled up from lv5 (3500/5000) to lv6 (200/10000).
At this point, both his casting speed and the effects of the technique far exceeded lv5.
Thus, the kunai hitting his body only produced a series of clinking sounds without causing any harm.
Seizing the opportunity, Qingming focused on the direction from which the kunai had been shot. He kicked the ground hard, and his body shot forward like a cannonball.
Some Mist ninjas, upon seeing Qingming charging toward them, had their expressions change drastically and immediately attempted to dodge.
Fortunately, the upper ninjas were pressuring them, so no major chaos occurred.
At this moment, one of the Mist ninjas shouted, "Everyone, continue attacking!"
Upon hearing this, the Mist ninjas threw more kunai at Qingming.
The upper ninjas also mixed in a few kunai attached with explosive tags among them.
Unfortunately, such tricks couldn't fool Qingming.
He activated his Sharingan and scanned the area, immediately locking onto the kunai with explosive tags.
Although he felt that his "Earth Style: Hardening Jutsu" could probably withstand the blast damage, in order to conserve chakra and for safety's sake, he decided not to take it head-on.
With a forceful stomp on the ground, Qingming immediately shifted from moving vertically to moving horizontally.
In the next instant, a dozen kunai passed through his afterimage, striking the ground and tree trunks behind him, making a series of "whizzing" sounds.
Moments later, the explosive tags detonated, sending shockwaves that made the surrounding trees shake.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Several shuriken were thrown from Qingming's hand, weaving through the gaps in the trees and striking the Mist ninjas.
"Ah!"
"Ah~"
Two brief, sharp screams followed.
Clearly, some had been hit.
Qingming's ears twitched as he listened for the positions. He raised his hand to make a seal, activating a ninjutsu—Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!
In an instant, a dense barrage of fireballs shot from his mouth, resembling a meteor shower, as they fell upon the Mist ninjas.
"Scatter!"
With a light command, the Mist ninjas discarded their camouflage and scattered to both sides.
Qingming's Sharingan spun rapidly, locking onto their movements.
Then, he quickly changed his hand seals, canceling the "Phoenix Fire Technique" and switching to another jutsu—Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique.
Whoosh~
A burst of flames erupted from his mouth, instantly transforming into three massive fire dragons that spread in left, center, and right directions, charging at the Mist ninjas.
Facing this relentless barrage of jutsu, the Mist ninjas on the left and right had space to dodge and immediately avoided the fire dragons' attack.
However, the Mist ninjas in the middle were not so lucky.
At the last moment, Qingming deliberately manipulated the fire dragons, closing in from both sides. These Mist ninjas had no place to escape.
Ultimately, three Mist ninjas stood out and simultaneously performed a jutsu—Water Style: Water Wall!
A wall of water abruptly rose up, blocking the team's left, right, and front.
The fire dragons collided with the water wall, nearly breaking through it, but ultimately, the wall held strong.
"Heh, not bad," Qingming sneered, seeing the trio's synchronized defense.
Then, he swiftly evaded the kunai and shuriken thrown at him by the Mist ninjas, performing hand seals and activating a new jutsu—Earth Style: Earth Spike Gun!
Indeed, this was the technique.
Over the past three days, Qingming had absorbed over 300,000 chakra from the Mist ninjas, nearly half of which was used to practice this jutsu.
Now, the technique had reached lv4. Although it was only at the early stages of lv4, it was strong enough to use.
The situation was perfect for a point-to-point attack like this.
Qingming completed the seals, stomping his foot on the ground and channeling a large amount of Earth Style chakra into the soil.
Immediately, sharp earth spikes shot up from the ground, rapidly targeting the Mist ninjas in front.
The positions of these spikes were extremely precise, which was beyond the capabilities of lv4 "Earth Style: Earth Spike Gun."
In fact, this was only possible because of his Sharingan, which allowed him to predict the movements of his enemies, and his "Chakra Control," which had long since reached lv6.
This skill, though seemingly ordinary, was far from simple.
It affected every technique he performed. Thanks to the lv6 "Chakra Control," his "Earth Style: Earth Spike Gun" was far more powerful than usual.
