"These three children are the three most popular in the village now, right? Especially Kakashi, he is the oldest."
Looking at the three of them, Qi, who seemed a little helpless on the stage, their good eyes were shining,
"However, the performance was a bit unsatisfactory. Sunagakure Ninja completely controlled the rhythm of the battle."
He suddenly looked at Minato,
"What do you think?"
"Senior made a mistake this time..."
Minato couldn't help but smile and pointed at the three people in the field who were completely mixed up with Sunagakure Ninja.
"The reason why they are fighting like this is actually very ridiculous and helpless."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Shan immediately became interested.
"What?"
"Actually, the key issue lies in Qi's performance. He can't even show half of his strength now."
Minato shrugged,
"Compared with Kakashi and Obito, he has a very serious flaw. This flaw will be very obvious when facing Sunagakure Ninja, causing him to be completely cowardly in this game, thus affecting the combat effectiveness of the entire team."
"Well, team battles are indeed like this. If one person performs improperly, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will be weakened. That's why the conference stipulated that the Great Ninja Village can only compete in team battles... But what kind of flaw caused him to make such a mistake?"
Shan showed a somewhat puzzled look,
"I have also read his information. In terms of ninjutsu, he is a typical escape type ninja. Considering the highest ninja level in this competition, he should not have any serious weaknesses in ninjutsu and combat skills? How could he be restrained by Sunagakure Ninja?"
"His problem is not his ninja skills, but his consciousness."
Minato shook his head,
"Since seniors have read his information, they should know the environment in which he grew up."
"Land of Water... Is it because?"
Shan seems to understand...
"Well, that's it. His information shows that he really started to hone his ninja skills when Mist Ninja chased him. It took a full year. By Konoha, he immediately entered the battlefield again."
Minato shrugged helplessly,
"In such an environment, all of his ninja skills so far have been honed in life-and-death battles. His subconscious mind is to kill his enemies instead of defeating them. This has nothing to do with his personality. It is purely a matter of consciousness. Even if he knows that this is a competition, once the fighting intensity reaches a certain level, he will unconsciously kill..."
"A ninja who doesn't know how to engage in high-level competition, but only engages in life-and-death battles..."
Shan admits, this is indeed a very ridiculous thing...
But it is not unreasonable. Konoha Ninja, like Kakashi and Obito, who were born and raised here, were both cultivated in the peaceful environment of the village. They both learned how to compete before experiencing life and death battles. In comparison, they were much more skilled in the former...
But someone like Qi is used to life and death battles at every turn. If you suddenly ask him to fight in a battle where he can't kill people, but can only determine the outcome, don't use all of his strength. It's a blessing to have half of it...
"So he was restrained. Sunagakure Ninja is not like Rock Ninja. They like to fight close to each other. All the moves Qi uses to deal with this kind of battle are killing moves learned on the battlefield. How did he use them in the game? Once he used them, he couldn't even control himself, and someone might die..."
Minato shook his head repeatedly,
"You can't blame him. He has only been in Konoha for a short time. He is not used to a peaceful environment at all, let alone competing with others."
"Then wouldn't we lose this game?"
Shan frowned, this is not good news. In this Shinobi World conference, Konoha must come first.
"Losing is impossible. Although Qi doesn't know how to spar, he is a good player in fighting a war of attrition. Even a regular jounin may not be able to defeat him."
Minato is full of confidence, showing his full trust in Qi,
"I have taken him with me, so I know very well. Just wait, he will soon realize this flaw of his and change his fighting style. Sunagakure Ninja's attack power is insufficient. Since they can't cause real damage to Qi and the others, they will lose."
"Since you say that, I'll wait and see."
Shan Le smiled cheerfully, stopped talking, and continued to watch with interest.
At this time on the field, just as Minato said, Qi Ye indeed discovered the problem.
"Damn it, the things I can handle on the battlefield have actually become my weaknesses in the ring!?"
While dealing with this kind of personal melee where he was an enemy one second and turned into a companion the next second, he was gritting his teeth.
"If you dare to do this on the battlefield, I will take your last name if I don't beat you to death!"
It's a pity that no matter how much he complains, this is still a competition ground, not a battlefield...
Ah! Ah! Ah! This is so unpleasant! There are obviously so many tricks that can solve the current decline, but he just can't use them! They are obviously a group of ninjas, why would Mao want to organize such a conference for the purpose of competition! Is this Hokage or Dragon Ball!?
Qi Zhen wanted to launch an all-out attack now and send at least most of these Sunagakure Ninjas to see Marx, but his reason told him that he would be an idiot if he did this, as long as he dared to maliciously kill or maim a Sunagakure Ninja, then Konoha will not only lose the game, but it will also cause a diplomatic incident between Konoha and Sunagakure. Although, this kind of thing is the same for the other party.
Come and go, you still have to break the close-quarters tactics of these Sunagakure Ninja, otherwise the fight will be impossible. In this fighting style, it is impossible for him to subdue the enemy without using a killing move. All his moves used in this situation are all killing techniques that are difficult to retain. If he does not change the fighting style, he can only passively defend, and his passive defense will only drag down the team...
However, although he has realized his problem, the situation in front of him has not changed. Sunagakure Ninja still resolutely implements the tactics of close combat and cross-combat. Among Konoha contestants, Qi is undoubtedly the greatest threat to them. This tactic was originally prepared to restrain Qi, an escape ninja, on the field. So far, they are obviously very successful...
"Don't relax, this guy seems to have realized it."
Seeing that Qi had repeatedly disrupted his own formation, Sunagakure led the team, and the ninja named Yakushi Yu narrowed his eyes and shouted,
"Don't let them get away!"
By the end, he had already infiltrated a stream of poison into his chakra and transformed it into a rapid-fire Wind Release technique that he fired continuously.
But human energy is limited. At this time, the game has lasted for nearly half an hour. How can anyone maintain a high level of concentration for such a long time?
In the end, Sunagakure Ninja's absolute strength is not as good as Konoha's, which makes it impossible for them to truly win even if they can gain a tactical advantage. The best evidence is that so far, no matter how hard the Konoha trio has dealt with, no one among them has actually been injured or fallen.
"There is a flaw!"
The first person who got the opportunity was Qi. Because he realized his own problem, he no longer always thought about how to solve the opponent, but tried his best to put maximum pressure on every opponent he encountered. Finally, there was a momentary delay when Sunagakure Ninja changed positions from him...
This delay was immediately caught by Qi who had been waiting for an opportunity. He immediately launched an all-out attack and forced the Sunagakure Ninja directly into the completely opposite direction of movement, which finally led to the complete dislocation of the Sunagakure Ninja team!
Just like this, mistakes inevitably occurred...Kakashi and Obito followed Qi almost closely, and came to add insult to injury. Sunagakure Ninja, whose battle array had been completely destroyed, had no other way to go except being repelled by the three of them.
In such a moment of free time, the high-intensity continuous close combat that Sunagakure Ninja had maintained since the game was forcibly and temporarily interrupted!
"Kakashi, Obito, do you still remember the Kirigakure combat skills I taught you last time?"
Without hesitation, taking advantage of this moment of free time, Qi didn't bother to calculate the consumption of chakra. Anyway, with the three of them as the center, he created ice crystals that could be smashed in all directions, like hail, delaying time while further delaying the reorganization of the Sunagakure Ninja array.
He finally got his chance...
"You want to use Hidden Mist Technique?"
Upon hearing Qi's words, Kakashi and Obito immediately understood the meaning. They thought about it and responded,
"Remember, but we are not skilled in using it, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help."
"You don't need to be proficient, just master the basics and leave the rest to me!"
Qi Meng laughed. He had already seen victory. Being pressed and beaten by Sunagakure Ninja for so long, he was not just beaten. He was also completely familiar with the fighting style and technical characteristics of this group of Sunagakure Ninja.
Opportunities are equal. Since Sunagakure Ninja cannot break the resistance of the three of them, it can only be defeated by their subsequent counterattack!
"You are not familiar with them, and they are even less familiar with them. As long as we break their personal tactics, victory will be ours!"
Hidden Mist Technique's seal was extremely simple. Just by pinching the seal in his hand, a hazy fog suddenly formed around him and covered all around...
