"Ah!"
The cold blade exploded.
The encroaching frost completely froze the area below the right Root Jonin, compressing it for a moment before exploding into pieces.
A scene of blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
The sight of the Root Jonin his bloodied, severed arm and screaming in agony was truly horrific.
The Root member who had just used Lightning Release to force Qi back quickly arrived at the Root the one-armed Root Jonin. Upon seeing his comrade's miserable state, his aura clearly turned much colder.
After quickly stopping the bleeding for his comrade and having a subordinate escort the Jonin, who was clearly incapacitated, to a more distant location, he rejoined the battle. Before that, he had already summoned several Jonin Chunin to join the attack on Qi!
The two of them can't defeat Qi, right!?
Then call a few more people. Anyway, their Root were fully prepared for this ambush!
Moreover, this Root Jonin Lightning Release Root didn't believe that a mere brat could possibly have that much Chakra!
In the battle just now.
However, they have already used Ice Release Technique and Water Release techniques several times, in addition to high-speed movement and Taijutsu combat that also require Chakra!
In his view, Qi had absolutely reached a dead end!
Just one final blow, and this genius youth of the Yuki Clan will be finished off!
In fact, this Lightning Release 'Root Jonin was not wrong. Chakra had indeed been depleted, but he was far from being exhausted!
But as that Root Jonin Root Lightning Release, Chakra will eventually run out, not to mention that he still has to deal with four or five Root members, including a Jonin!
Moreover, taking advantage of the lull in the previous attack...
Qi also noticed the situation of other battle groups not far away.
The Kirigakure side has suffered heavy casualties. In less than ten minutes of fighting, more than half of their dozen or so ordinary Genin killed, and the remaining few were just struggling to hold on, and could not inflict much damage on the enemy!
As far as the eye can see.
Qi did not see any Root members who had died in battle.
That's right!
Apart from the Root Chunin Kei killed himself, none of the other Root who participated in the battle died!
At most, they suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Including the Root that faced off against Mei Terumi, Kisame, and Shingetsu, the three of them might have had a certain advantage at the beginning, but as the pressure increased, they are now all at a disadvantage.
Kisame, who favors a wide-ranging and powerful fighting style, was already covered in wounds!
It is entirely foreseeable that, barring any unforeseen events that would benefit the Mist Ninja, the situation will likely continue as it unfolds.
All twenty of them were going to perish here!
If Qi could judge the situation, Jonin Ao, as a veteran Jonin, could certainly do the same. There was no room for complacency in this dangerous situation.
No!
It should be said that Qing never had any expectations from the very beginning!
This was a situation where a decision had already been made.
" Otokaze, Goro!"
Qing finally found an opportunity to briefly force her opponent back.
The words were shouted out in a loud and stern voice.
The two Mist Ninja didn't need much communication; they understood the meaning in an instant.
"Smack!"
At the moment when each of them found their opportunity.
With a sudden clap of both hands.
A technique completed with extremely rapid Hand Seals.
" Hidden Mist Technique!"
As that deep shout fell, the thick white mist that spread out Jonin the three Jonin, Goro, Otokaze, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield in the shortest amount of time!
"Bang!"
Almost at the very moment everyone's view was taken away and they left.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The Root members didn't react, but the remaining Genin, including Kei, Mei Terumi, Kisame, and Shingetsu, all changed their expressions upon hearing this unusual sound.
This is the 'retreat order' issued by the Qingdao Police Station!
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say the order was for them to scatter and flee!
To continue fighting when the absolute disparity in strength is already enormous is foolish! Run!
This is the only correct choice.
Therefore.
The moment the order was received.
Qi did not hesitate at all.
" Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave Technique!"
However, before retreating, Qi still extracted a large amount of Chakra, which was used to unleash a large-scale Water Release technique that directly covered the area.
"Boom!"
The moment it gushed forth.
With the help of the Hidden Mist Technique, and under precise control, it surged directly towards the positions where the Root members were scattered!
He also wanted to create as many opportunities as possible for his companions to retreat!
This can be considered Qi's last effort!
As for the rest...
Then the only option is to leave life and death to fate!
The brief gap created after the surging, undulating tide.
"Whoosh!"
Qi also unleashed a burst of Chakra from the soles of his feet.
They aimed directly at the southern direction and sped away.
Just as Kei left, a brief opening was created by the combined power of the Kirigakure technique released by the three Jonin and Kei's powerful Water Release technique.
The remaining dozen or so people all chose different directions, either alone or together, to break through and escape.
Only a few people who were truly trapped and seriously injured had no way to retreat.
They were killed by these Root members.
The others also broke through the encirclement, at least temporarily, and sped off in their chosen directions!
However, there were only a handful of these people who managed to break through; in the battle just now, half of the Mist Ninja had already been killed!
Will the remaining people be able to escape successfully?
That all needs to be put with a big question mark!
"Chase them! Leave no one alive!"
The ten members of Qing and Qi groups scattered and fled.
The white mist gradually dissipated.
As vision fully returned.
The Jonin Root who was leading the group also revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes.
After briefly assigning the pursuit personnel, he uttered these words in a chilling voice filled with murderous intent.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
These thirty or forty Root immediately split into several teams and chased after Qi, Qing, and the others who had scattered and fled!
Lord Danzo a death order—to kill them at all costs!
The entire group from Kirigakure must be wiped out!
