This is not only a sign of confidence, but also a judgment based on extensive battlefield experience.
When Qi heard his teacher Qing's words, especially when he could clearly sense that Qing's aura was still relatively stable at close range, he felt relieved. He knew that his captain was not being reckless, so the situation was still under control.
Asking him and Mei Terumi to fight against a Cloud Ninja squad led by a Jonin from Cloud Village would be asking the impossible, but if Ao still has the strength to fight, then everything is still within a controllable range.
Mei Terumi to the side, also relaxed slightly, though of course, it was far from time to relax.
If we cannot defeat the enemy before us.
It was all in vain.
"Very good, very good. It seems I underestimated you. Mist Ninja, you managed to get here. It seems Owl and his companions failed. Very good!"
From the opposite seat, Hato looked down at Kei and Mei Terumi, a hint of appreciation appearing in his fierce eyes, but deep within those eyes was a blazing, chilling killing intent!
Even disregarding the fact that his three subordinates were likely already dead at the hands of these two Mist Ninja brats, their mere appearance and performance were enough for Kujira to label them as mortal enemies!
This child, clearly no more than ten years old, displayed an excellence far beyond that of his peers. As a member of a rival ninja village, Kujira couldn't bear to see too many geniuses emerge from other ninja villages.
Moreover, Qi's obvious identity as a member of the Yuki Clan makes him an absolute threat to Jiu.
It's important to know that in the past battles between the Cloud and Mist Villages, among the three great clans of the Kirigakure, the Yuki Clan was the one most likely to inflict damage on the Cloud Ninja!
Both publicly and privately!
The dove intends to kill Qi and the others here.
There was no need for any reservation; the chilling killing intent that permeated the air was so tangible that it made the surrounding air incredibly thick.
When facing each other directly.
Both Kei Mei Terumi felt a chill run down their spines, their bodies tensing up at that moment!
"You three go deal with that Jonin or not doesn't matter, just hold him off. Don't tarnish the honor of our Cloud Ninja like those three idiots, Owl, understand?!"
Jiu coldly addressed his three subordinates.
"Yes, Lord Jiu!"
The three Cloud Ninja immediately responded.
"Superior!"
"Yes!"
No further explanation is needed; it was only at the moment the order was given.
'Buzz!'
"Boom!"
A powerful aura of Chakra rippled outwards from the angle of its ascent.
"Whoosh!"
A fleeting, swift angle.
He moved directly to a position close to Qi and the other two, and pulled out a short knife at some point, aiming it gleamingly at Qi as he swiftly slashed down.
Qi's gaze immediately sharpened.
Just as he was about to strike, Qing, positioned on the left, had already taken a step ahead, blocking Jiu's path horizontally, and simultaneously drew a Kunai. (Tianlai Novel Network)
"Clang!"
Along with the burst of sparks, Qing also powerfully blocked Jiu's attack. Qing, who was already slightly weaker in strength, was now injured, and the powerful suppression he felt made his face turn pale.
But he still clenched his teeth.
"Proceed according to plan!"
The words that followed were spoken in a deep, resonant voice.
"Yes!"
Kei and Mei Terumi also swayed and quickly dodged from both sides, directly pressing towards the three Cloud Ninja.
"You bastard!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Jiu's expression changed, his aura turning increasingly cold, followed by a furious roar.
"Whoosh!"
After Jiu forcefully pushed Qing back with a powerful swing, he wanted to retreat and deal with Qi Mei Terumi, but how could Qing give him such an opportunity?
" Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The vast amount of Chakra extracted as much as possible was used to form hand seals in the shortest possible time. With a sudden burst of energy from Qing's abdomen, a huge ball of water poured out of his mouth. As it rolled, it immediately formed an incredibly powerful wave that covered the area.
"!!?"
The dove was firmly locked in the central position.
This not only prevented Jiu from easily using Lightning Release to counterattack, but also further forced Jiu to retreat from his position, completely separating them from the other battle group.
"Fine, very well, you asked for this, Mist Ninja!"
The dove's pupils flashed with murderous intent, carrying a cruel glint, as it ferociously pounced on Qing!
The chilling killing intent was palpable.
Qing's expression remained unchanged as she flipped over and charged forward. At such a crucial moment, one must not show the slightest fear!
In a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail!
Meanwhile, as Ao and Hato entered the most intense and heated battle, in another battle, Kei Mei Terumi had already intercepted their respective Cloud Ninja. This time, Mei Terumi was faster and took the lead in attacking the Cloud Ninja whose aura was stronger and who was clearly Chunin -level Cloud Ninja!
No words were needed.
With just that one look, Kei could easily understand Mei Terumi's meaning.
"Smack!"
At this moment.
" Ice Release - Icicle Technique!"
They immediately Hand Seals, and several enormous ice crystal pillars materialized out of thin air on the ground, completely isolating the three Cloud Ninja.
Three Cloud Ninja were forced to separate.
They hadn't even had a chance to adjust their stance.
Mei Terumi charged forward aggressively, immediately Boil Release her Kekkei Genkai, making it a race against time.
The same applies to Qi.
That Chakra was unleashed as much as possible.
A figure arrived with overwhelming force.
With his speed far exceeding that of an ordinary Genin, he arrived in front of the Cloud Ninja on the left in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
A chilling, sharp edge that bursts forth.
The kunai was aimed straight at the vital spot on the left chest of the Kunai Cloud Ninja.
"!?"
Nearby, the Cloud Ninja who had just reacted managed to pull himself together and hold the Kunai in front of him, relying entirely on his instincts.
"Clang!"
He barely managed to block Qi's attack, but it was clearly a power that Qi had completely suppressed, and his posture was also showing signs of breaking down.
"Snort!"
Qi snorted coldly, and with a swift hook, he used the force of the impact to propel the Kunai downwards.
"Pfft!"
As it deflected the Kunai the Cloud Ninja, it also pierced his arm, causing blood to splatter out.
"Ah!?"
This Cloud Ninja also let out an extremely shrill scream.
