Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

the Level While Qingming was thinking, Guchuan had already distanced himself and said, "You guys can discuss it slowly. I

  'll go first." After that, he turned around and left.

  However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qingming had already rushed out, and on the way he had already taken out several shurikens from his ninja bag.

  Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~

  the shurikens flew out.

  Most of them were used by him to block his escape path, and only two of them went straight to Guchuan's throat and heart.

  Qingming's attack was swift and fierce.

  If it were any other Genin, he might have been seriously injured by his sudden attack.

  But Guchuan was different.

  Just as Qingming thought, although the opponent's strength was suppressed to the level of Genin, his combat experience was not comparable to that of ordinary Genin.

  It was seen that the moment Qingming attacked, the opponent reacted.

  Only two dings were heard, and the two shurikens that attacked him were accurately blocked by his kunai.

  But this also gave Qingming a chance.

  Seeing that Guchuan's middle door was wide open, Qingming, who had already come close, did not hesitate at all and immediately swung out his kunai and stabbed it straight into his chest and abdomen.

  Feeling the chill coming from his chest, Guchuan smiled, and then with just a light step back, he avoided Qingming's attack.

  The difference in size between adults and minors was revealed vividly at this moment. Qingming's perfect attack was easily resolved by Guchuan just because of his size disadvantage.

  Qingming did not have many complaints about this.

  After all, on the battlefield, who cares whether you are an adult or not.

  Since you are not as big as the opponent, you should find a way to turn this disadvantage into a balance or even an advantage, instead of complaining about the world.

  With this thought, Qingming's body swayed slightly, and the whole person was like a monkey, deftly going around to his side and avoiding the opponent's counterattack.

  Then, he kicked his right leg diagonally and hit his back.

  Why not kick the back of the head?

  Qingming also wanted to, but unfortunately he was not tall enough, so he could only kick his back.

  However, Guchuan was unwilling to give such an opportunity.

  He ducked, dodged Qingming's kick, and thrust his elbow straight at Qingming's face.

  "Not good!"

  Qingming was startled and quickly raised his arm to block.

  Bang~

  A dull collision sound came, and Qingming felt his arm go numb, and the whole person flew backwards involuntarily.

  In mid-air, Qingming adjusted his body shape and finally landed on the ground in a fairly elegant posture.

  "Qingming!"

  "Qingming-kun!"

  It was not until this time that Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko reacted, and quickly drew out their kunai and came to Qingming.

  "Qingming, are you okay?"

  Ryosuke stared at Furukawa with his eyes fixed, and asked without turning his head.

  "It's okay."

  Qingming slowly stood up and replied.

  Not far away, Furukawa put away his kunai and said in a flat tone: "Qingming, your strength is not bad, but you alone can't take the scroll from me."

  After that, he jumped a few times and left everyone's sight, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

  "Huh——"

  After Furukawa left, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko both breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

  Although they had just stood up, they were still a little timid in front of a jonin.

  Qingming didn't care much about this.

  The reason why he took action just now was just to try his luck. If it works, it would be the best. If it doesn't, he can also use it to test Furukawa's "strength".

  In this way, he can have a bottom line in his heart.

  "Qingming, what should we do next?"

  Ryosuke retracted his gaze and looked at Qingming and said.

  Not only him, but Mizutani Shizuko also cast his eyes on himself.

  Obviously, these two people have regarded him as the backbone.

  This is also one of Qingming's purposes.

  Only when you show your own strength will others listen to you, otherwise, why would others follow your ideas.

  Now it's good. With what happened just now, I believe the two companions will act according to his ideas.

  Although Qingming doesn't care about the position of captain, it's better to have less trouble.

  Thinking of this, Qing Ming looked at the two of them and said, "Since Teacher Furukawa said this is a test, then there will be no fatal danger. We can just go all out next."

  "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

  Ryosuke pounded his palms and shouted excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"

  'Oh, if only it were that simple'     Qingming was sure that the road ahead would definitely not be easy, but he did not say much. It would be best if his teammates could maintain their enthusiasm.

  As for the rest, we will talk about it later.

  Thinking of this, Qingming said, "Well, let's go. I'll be in front, Shizuko will be in the middle, and Ryosuke will watch the back."   

"What?" Hearing Qingming's arrangement, Ryosuke asked in confusion, "Didn't Mr. Furukawa say that he would not take the initiative to attack? Why do you have to watch the back?"

  "It's better to be careful."   

Qingming replied.  

 "Okay!"

  Ryosuke nodded reluctantly, and reluctantly agreed to Qingming's arrangement.  

 "Where's Shizuko?" Qingming asked.  

 Shizuko Mizutani shook her head and said timidly, "I have no problem."

  "Well, let's go."   After that, Qingming took the lead and chased in the direction Furukawa left.  

 Shizuko Mizutani and Ryosuke followed closely behind.   And underground, unknown to Qingming and the other two, Furukawa performed the earth escape technique of the fish reflected in the earth, hiding himself underground and secretly observing their every move.   When he heard Qingming's words "It's no big deal to be careful", he nodded with satisfaction.

  For ninjas, being cautious is a quality that must be possessed at all times.  

 Qingming still did so after he told him that he would not take the initiative to attack, which is enough to show his cautious nature.   

If it were just that, it would be fine.  

 But considering the attack he just took the initiative to launch, it can be seen that he himself is not lacking in adventurous spirit.  

 'Being cautious also reveals courage and decisiveness. This is a natural ninja. '   Qingming didn't know that he was just acting according to some memories of his previous life, and he actually left a very high evaluation here in Guchuan.  

 However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.   Other people's evaluations are just other people's opinions. As long as he improves his own strength, then everything he does makes sense.   Let's put our attention back to Qingming and others.  

 Qingming and his three companions rushed through the forest, searching for traces deliberately left by Guchuan according to the knowledge taught by the school teacher.  

 They encountered many traps and dangers along the way, but with the efforts of Qingming and others, they were eliminated one by one.   

Near noon, the three finally arrived at the mountain and saw Furukawa who arrived before them.  

 Seeing them, Furukawa tossed the scroll in his hand and said, "Time is running out, what are you going to do?"   

"What should we do?"  

 Qingming and Ryosuke looked at each other, then ran out together, one on the left and one on the right, and pounced on Furukawa.   

At the same time, Mizutani Shizuko forced herself to be alert and threw several shurikens and kunai at a rapid speed to restrict Furukawa's movements.

  Furukawa's figure flashed one after another, avoiding Mizutani Shizuko's attack.

  Taking this opportunity, Qingming came to the side of the opponent, and the kunai in his hand slashed straight out, cutting straight to his waist and abdomen.  

 Ding~   A crisp metal collision sound rang out, and Furukawa blocked Qingming's attack with a kunai.  

 Just at this moment, Ryosuke rushed over and stabbed the kunai in his hand straight into Furukawa's back.   It was about to hit, but I don't know if it was because he was afraid of hurting Furukawa, or what, the action hesitated for a moment.

  But it was this hesitation that missed the opportunity, allowing Furukawa to dodge sideways.  

 "Boy, face the enemy."  

 After dodging the attack, Furukawa was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Ryosuke smile slightly, and his left hand reached for his chest where the scroll was hidden at a very fast speed, and his movements were much more agile than before.  

 "Not good!"  

 Furukawa cursed inwardly, "cunning boy", and quickly leaned back.   

Because of the position and height problems, Ryosuke's left hand could only barely touch Furukawa's chest, which was not enough to take out the scroll.  

 Seeing this, Furukawa breathed a sigh of relief and said inwardly,

"That was a close call!"  

 However, at this moment, Ryosuke's right hand holding the kunai turned around and stabbed the kunai into Furukawa's lower abdomen cleanly.

  "Ah!"  

 Seeing this scene, Qingming, who rushed up first, screamed, and his body shape changed from Qingming's appearance to Ryosuke's appearance.

Seeing this, Furukawa looked down at Ryosuke in front of him, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

  Then, his body shape turned into a ball of chakra smoke.  

 A scroll fell from the smoke, which was exactly the mission target of Qingming and others.
