As Qingming pondered, his gaze met with that of Minato Namikaze, and in that instant, Qingming understood the other's intent—block them!
However, just as he was about to take action, the mist-hidden Jonin, clutching his abdomen, suddenly raised both hands, quickly forming several hand seals.
Seeing this, Qingming immediately heightened his vigilance, while a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"What is the enemy doing?"
As he pondered, a piercing screech suddenly pierced the air, filled not only with intense malice but also with the joy of regaining freedom.
"Is that... the Six-Tails?!"
Qingming was shocked and quickly looked toward the Six-Tails. He saw a dense array of sealing symbols appearing on its body, which then rapidly disappeared.
Immediately, its tail count increased from three to four.
The four members of the Konoha sealing team turned pale at the sight. One of them quickly extended a hand and shot out a chakra chain to bind the newly appeared tail.
This caused the Six-Tails' rising chakra to momentarily stall.
But next, the Six-Tails let out another even angrier screech.
And with that screech, the area near its four tails changed, and in the blink of an eye, two more tails sprouted.
At this moment, all six of its tails appeared, and its size and chakra surged once again, multiplying several times in just a breath.
The four Konoha ninjas beneath it now resembled mere insects. Despite the five chakra chains still binding the Six-Tails, it was like ants trying to pull an elephant.
Roar~
The Six-Tails screeched again, swinging the two unbound tails directly at the remaining two sealing team members.
"Ah!" *2
With two short screams, the two were instantly flattened into puddles of mush.
Indeed, the Six-Tails wasn't known for its strength, but its size alone made even a casual swipe beyond what a human could resist.
The two Konoha ninjas who were killed caused the chakra chains they had released to disappear, and the Six-Tails now had two more tails free.
With an excited roar, four of its tails moved simultaneously, crashing toward the remaining two sealing team members.
Its speed was so fast that the two had no time to react.
Just as it seemed that they were about to meet the same fate as their comrades, a figure suddenly appeared. With golden hair and a calm expression, it was none other than Minato Namikaze.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the two ninjas and grabbed them. Just before the Six-Tails' attack arrived, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.
Boom~
The four tails of the Six-Tails slammed into the ground.
Immediately, the earth trembled, and a large amount of dirt and stones were launched into the air like bullets, scattering in all directions.
And with the loss of restraints, the Six-Tails' chakra surged again.
All of this seemed to take place in the blink of an eye.
Qingming finally understood why the mist-hidden Jonin had been forming seals earlier. Based on the current outcome, it seemed they had been attempting to undo the seal on the Six-Tails.
Now that the Six-Tails had completely freed itself, it was time for them to flee.
Qingming thought to himself.
Indeed, just as Minato Namikaze had saved the two sealing team members, the other three—Huang, Hong, and the remaining enemy—simultaneously tossed several smoke bombs to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang~
With a series of muffled explosions, thick smoke covered their figures.
At this point, if Qingming had exerted his full strength, he could still intercept them.
These smoke bombs wouldn't stop his Byakugan's vision, and even without using Byakugan, a quick wind-style jutsu could easily disperse the smoke.
At that point, stopping them would be no problem.
However, he didn't do that.
It wasn't that he was soft-hearted or intended to let the enemy go; it was simply because there was a more important target at hand, and there was no need to waste time on them.
After all, they were three Jonin. Even if two of them were injured, it wasn't something that could be easily handled in just a few moves.
Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze had already engaged with the Six-Tails.
Qingming began to step forward, intending to join the fight.
But just then, his brows furrowed, and in an instant, he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the severely injured Xu Tianxiu.
He glanced down at the ground and sneered, "Tch! Letting you go was already showing mercy, yet you still want to take my spoils. You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he stomped the ground, and a surge of earth-style chakra poured into the earth, seemingly trying to petrify the entire area.
"Hmm~"
He vaguely heard a muffled grunt.
In the next moment, the stealthy aura that had been creeping up suddenly stopped and began retreating, eventually disappearing without a trace.
Without a doubt, Qingming knew who it was—likely one of the three who had escaped using the smoke bombs, attempting to take Xu Tianxiu with them.
Unfortunately for them, Qingming didn't allow that to happen.
Once he confirmed the enemy had retreated, Qingming wasted no time, immediately performing a hand seal and using Chakra Absorption Technique.
Xu Tianxiu seemed to realize something and tried to resist, but having already been heavily injured by Qingming's Spiral Round, he had little strength left to struggle.
Qingming grabbed him and, within moments, drained his chakra, mental energy, and physical energy.
However, since he was already heavily wounded, he didn't contribute much chakra—only about 10,000 points or so.
Qingming shook his head, discarded the body, and then used Wind Release: Wind Wings to fly straight into the sky.
Meanwhile, the Six-Tails repeatedly attacked, swinging its tails, but it couldn't land a hit on Minato Namikaze.
This enraged the creature, and it swung its two arms in fury, screeching nonstop.
Qingming watched this scene without hesitation, quickly flying toward the Six-Tails. Before it could react, he raised his hand and formed seals, executing a jutsu—Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Against a giant creature like the Six-Tails, one couldn't afford to be stingy with chakra. Qingming consumed nearly 500 chakra in one go.
Instantly, a ball of flame appeared on the Six-Tails' chest and quickly spread upward, covering nearly a third of its body in a blink of an eye.
As a creature similar to a slug, the flames were quite effective against it.
A painful screech erupted from the Six-Tails.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately prepared to strike the fallen beast.
But just then, a powerful chakra fluctuation emanated from the Six-Tails.
An oppressive aura filled the air, affecting everyone around.
Minato Namikaze, standing closest, was forced to retreat several meters from the pressure, and even Qingming, though farther away, was pushed back by dozens of meters.
Even the two sealing team members, who had been sent far away to observe from a tree hundreds of meters away, instinctively shrank their necks.
The ominous and violent chakra emanating from the Six-Tails was far beyond what ordinary ninjas could contend with.
Against such a fierce beast, ninjas with weaker strength or frail mentalities wouldn't even have the courage to fight back.
However, this clearly didn't include Minato Namikaze or Qingming.
Minato Namikaze might have retreated, but the battle intent on his face remained unchanged.
As for Qingming—he was even more exaggerated. Not only did he show no fear, but his eyes also gleamed with greed, looking at the Six-Tails as though it were an invaluable treasure.
