It must be said that copying the technique of Wind Release: Wind Blade from Xiao Yuan Xiu Er was indeed a wise choice. This technique is perfect for ending battles due to its concealment and offensive capabilities.
Taking advantage of an opportunity, he used Wind Release: Wind Blade to decisively kill Fujiwara Eita.
Seeing Fujiwara Eita fall, Hizuki Mitsuki stopped and nodded at Qing Ming before attempting to rush to another battlefield. However, before he could get very far, Qing Ming noticed him stop again, his expression shifting as if two entities were vying for control of his body.
Qing Ming quickly understood what was happening. It was evident that the Yamanaka Clan ninja was struggling to maintain control over Hizuki Mitsuki; they were now in a battle for dominance.
Indeed, the Yamanaka Clan'sMind Transfer Technique was primarily used for intelligence gathering, ideally allowing them to occupy a ninja of a lower rank. This ensured long-term control.
However, this Yamanaka Clan ninja had taken over a body of equal rank in an effort to delay the enemy, which was risky. Despite gathering all of his mental energy for the transfer, the fierce battle had awakened the original owner's spirit and consciousness.
It was also due to the heavy injuries sustained by this body; the instinct for survival had triggered the original owner's spirit, otherwise, they wouldn't have regained control so quickly.
As for the source of the injuries…
In less than two minutes, Qing Ming had killed Fujiwara Eita, which came at a price. To create an opening for Qing Ming, Hizuki Mitsuki had fought without any defensive moves, sustaining numerous injuries from Fujiwara Eita in the process.
If Hizuki Mitsuki had been in control, he might have already lost his fighting ability due to the injuries.
But now it seemed that control was slipping away.
As Qing Ming contemplated whether to resolve the situation before the enemy lost control, he suddenly saw Hizuki Mitsuki pull a paper bomb from his ninja tool pouch and stick it directly to his own chest.
In the next moment, Hizuki Mitsuki's expression turned to one of terror as he reached for the paper bomb on his chest, seemingly trying to tear it off. However, his hands acted independently, engaging in a struggle that prevented him from accomplishing his goal.
In that critical moment, the paper bomb reached its explosive threshold, and the Yamanaka Clan ninja perfectly released the technique, allowing the original spirit to regain control.
"No—"
Just as Hizuki Mitsuki regained control of his body, he barely had time to utter a defiant scream before flames engulfed him completely.
Boom~
A violent explosion erupted.
The close-range paper bomb instantly claimed Hizuki Mitsuki's life, his body flung through the air like a discarded sack.
Thud~
Qing Ming looked down at the mangled corpse that landed near his feet, internally lamenting how tragic the situation was; not only did he have to attack his own ally, but he also ended up committing 'suicide' at the last moment.
If he were in Hizuki Mitsuki's position, he would have surely found no peace in death.
However, once reaching the afterlife, thoughts and emotions cease, so there was no need to worry about the person becoming enraged.
Shaking his head, Qing Ming pulled back his thoughts, casting a sidelong glance at the Yamanaka Clan ninja who had been leaning against the wall and appeared to have woken up.
Sure enough, the opponent was now awake.
Thus, Qing Ming turned his attention away and dashed towards the three Iwa Ninja who were still entangled with the shadow tendrils.
If they could eliminate these three, their mission would be completely accomplished. After that, all they needed was for Bofeng Mizuno to deal with Kuroki Itaru, and their assassination mission would be a success.
However, time was of the essence! Qing Ming estimated that numerous Iwa Ninja were likely rushing towards their location, and if they couldn't complete the task and leave quickly, trouble would ensue.
Clang, clang, clang~
With Qing Ming's involvement, the pressure on the three Iwa Ninja increased significantly. Adding to the chaos, the Yamanaka Clan ninja was also creating disturbances from a distance, causing them to struggle to keep up.
Before long, a specially designated ninja was the first to crumble under the pressure. Qing Ming seized the opportunity and pierced his heart with a straightforward strike.
The fatal blow caused the Iwa Ninja to cough up a mouthful of blood, and after struggling for a moment, he ultimately lost all life.
Swish~
With a smooth motion, Qing Ming pulled out his short sword and, without pause, lunged toward the remaining two Iwa Ninja.
A few minutes later, the battle concluded. One was decapitated by Qing Ming'sWind Release: Wind Blade, while the other was pierced through the body by a series of shadow spikes controlled by the Yamanaka Clan ninja.
With that, their mission was officially complete.
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed nearby.
Hinata Hikari, covered in blood, appeared around the corner, running towards them while urgently saying, "Enemy reinforcements are approaching!"
Upon hearing this, the Yamanaka Clan ninja immediately closed his eyes, beginning to sense the surrounding situation.
Soon after, he reopened his eyes, nodded at Qing Ming and the Yamanaka Clan ninja, and said, "Indeed, there are many approaching this way."
Qing Ming, slightly relieved, gestured for Hinata Hikari to come closer and immediately asked, "Can you locate Mizuno's position?"
Without hesitation, Hinata Hikari activated her Byakugan and started searching for Bofeng Mizuno's location.
A few seconds later, she exclaimed with excitement, "Found him! Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the sudden change in her tone, Qing Ming and the other two ninjas tensed, fearing something had gone awry.
Fortunately, it was not bad news. Hinata Hikari continued, "Mizuno seems to be moving in our direction."
Upon hearing this, Qing Ming wasted no time and said, "Hikari, lead the way; head directly towards Mizuno."
"Understood," Hinata Hikari responded, preparing to set off.
At that moment, Qing Ming suddenly asked, "What about Yasuda and Murashita?"
Yasuda Daiqing and Murashita Genku were his two subordinates skilled in infiltration and assassination for this mission.
Hearing this, Hinata Hikari hesitated slightly and replied, "They sacrificed themselves!"
"I see."
Upon receiving Hinata Hikari's answer, Qing Ming fell into deep thought, not saying much more.
He had anticipated the sacrifices of the two, or rather, he had been mentally prepared for the losses of all three members.
After all, the three ninjas on their side had drawn a significant portion of the enemy's high-level forces, but the Iwa Ninja surrounding Hinata Hikari and the others were also numerous.
Moreover, all three of them were relatively average special ninjas; when besieged, the chances of casualties were high.
It was just fortunate that Hinata Hikari had managed to survive.
Qing Ming didn't want to delve into how the weakest among them had managed to live; in such circumstances, surviving was already a stroke of luck, and there was no need to investigate further.
Seeing that Qing Ming had stopped asking questions, Hinata Hikari began to run ahead, leading the way for the group.
