Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

"Da Yu!"

Because Qing Ming's movements were too swift, it was only after Gu Village Da Yu fell that the other Sand Ninja reacted.

Not to mention them; even the Konoha Ninja, who had received advance instructions, only just began to process what happened.

Fortunately, they had a bit of mental preparation, so after a moment of astonishment, they quickly rushed toward the remaining two Sand Ninjas, just as Qing Ming had commanded before he moved.

As for the leader, Huang Sha, he was left to face Qing Ming.

Looking at Qing Ming before him, Huang Sha dared not let his guard down for even a moment. He could only allow Qing Ming's three teammates to besiege his two subordinates.

Luckily, among the three Konoha Ninjas, one was a very young lower-ninja whose combat power could be ignored, so for the time being, he did not have to worry about his two subordinates being unable to hold out.

Right now, the most important thing was to deal with the Uchiha Ninja before him.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of kunai clashing echoed in the air as Qing Ming and Huang Sha remained still, merely staring each other down.

Although Qing Ming's expression was indifferent, his relaxed posture suggested that he felt quite at ease.

In contrast, Huang Sha, wielding a long sword, had all his muscles tensed, clearly on edge.

There was no way around it; despite the brief exchange earlier, he understood that Qing Ming was not an opponent to be taken lightly, and he needed to be fully focused.

Therefore, he could not afford to let his guard down for even a second, which inevitably placed enormous psychological pressure on him.

Beads of sweat began to form on Huang Sha's forehead, slowly merging into a larger droplet that trickled down his brow.

Eventually, it dripped down to the corner of his eye, bringing a sharp stinging sensation that made him blink involuntarily.

At that moment, Qing Ming took his chance to strike.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three shuriken shot forth, aiming directly for Huang Sha's throat, heart, and lower abdomen.

However, Huang Sha reacted swiftly; he slashed with his long sword and deflected the shuriken aimed at his throat.

Then, with a quick movement, he dodged the other two shuriken.

Yet, he had lost the initiative.

Before he could stabilize himself, Qing Ming was already right in front of him, having drawn a short sword from his waist without Huang Sha realizing it.

Whoosh!

The blade sliced through the air, rapidly descending toward Huang Sha's neck.

Feeling the cold blade, Huang Sha didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately raised his sword to block.

However, as soon as he moved, a heavy sensation washed over his head, and a powerful drowsiness surged within him, making him feel like he wanted to fall asleep.

At the same time, a pair of blood-red eyes gradually filled his vision.

"Is this… the Sharingan?!"

Under the influence of the hypnotic ability, Huang Sha's thought process slowed significantly, but the impending blade kept him alert.

Thanks to his instinct honed in life-and-death battles, he made the correct choice at this critical moment.

At the last moment before the blade struck, he abandoned his block and made a desperate backward arch.

This movement not only allowed him to evade the short sword but also took him out of Qing Ming's line of sight.

Thus, he gained a brief moment to breathe.

Huang Sha bit his tongue, and the sharp pain brought clarity, allowing him to shake off the effects of the Sharingan's hypnosis.

But just then, a flash of cold light appeared as Qing Ming, gripping his short sword, lunged straight for Huang Sha's chest.

In a critical moment, Huang Sha raised his sword across his chest, and he heard a resounding clang as Qing Ming's short sword collided with his long sword.

Since Huang Sha had blocked hastily, he lost his footing and stumbled back several steps.

Seizing the opportunity, Qing Ming closed the distance again, thrusting his short sword directly toward Huang Sha's heart.

However, Huang Sha was not a novice; his skill with the sword was impressive, which was evident from his possession of a long sword.

To be more precise, he was quite adept at swordsmanship, having earned the special title of upper-ninja because of it.

Thus, when Qing Ming's thrust came, Huang Sha remained calm, easily blocking the attack with his sword.

Qing Ming followed up with several more thrusts, each of which Huang Sha deflected in succession.

Seeing Huang Sha able to respond, Qing Ming decided to stop using the Sharingan and simply engage him with swordsmanship.

The sound of blades clashing echoed continuously as Huang Sha's previously tense expression relaxed slightly.

Clearly, once he entered his area of expertise, his confidence returned.

What he didn't realize was that Qing Ming had barely used his full strength during their exchanges.

In terms of swordsmanship, Huang Sha was only comparable to Qing Ming, who had trained the "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" to a proficiency level of over half at level 4.

While this level was impressive among ordinary people, it was somewhat lacking in Qing Ming's eyes.

Having satisfied his curiosity through testing, Qing Ming decided to end this "boring" battle.

With that thought in mind, Qing Ming suddenly declared, "The warm-up is over; now... the real battle begins!"

"What?"

Huang Sha was confused, but an intense unease surged within him.

Without hesitation, he averted his gaze, relying on his peripheral vision to observe Qing Ming's movements, but this feeling of unease only grew stronger.

In the next moment, he felt as if Qing Ming's short sword had become incredibly agile, with his swordsmanship shifting from standard to strangely unpredictable.

Almost every thrust came from a blind spot in Huang Sha's vision, making it exceedingly difficult for him to defend himself.

Of course, since it was a direct confrontation, as long as he could turn his gaze back to Qing Ming and engage in "face-to-face" combat, the difficulty would decrease by over ninety percent.

But the question was: Would he dare to shift his focus back?

The answer was clearly no.

With the abilities of the Sharingan that Qing Ming had just demonstrated, if he looked back, he would undoubtedly fall into a trap in an instant.

And this was the essence of "Uchiha Style Swordsmanship"; it capitalized on the advantages of the Sharingan in combat, using skill to overcome the enemy.

Of course, if the Sharingan's power was not strong enough, or if the user's swordsmanship was inadequate, they would never be able to reach the level of Qing Ming.

At that moment, Huang Sha felt a deep sense of discomfort.

His expertise in swordsmanship was utterly ineffective against Qing Ming, and his long sword served no purpose aside from passive defense.

To make matters worse, not every attack could be blocked.

Since Qing Ming had started fighting seriously, in less than two minutes, Huang Sha had already accumulated several wounds on his body.

I can't continue like this, Huang Sha thought to himself.

In the next moment, he pushed through the pain of being slashed by Qing Ming and retreated several times, forcibly creating some distance.

Then, he raised his hands, preparing to perform a jutsu.

However, his movements were too obvious. Almost the moment he began to retreat, Qing Ming activated the "Body Flicker Technique" and followed closely behind.

Thus, just as Huang Sha stood firm, Qing Ming appeared right before him.

Next, his hands moved like a butterfly dancing through flowers, completing the hand seals in an instant, and he unleashed the "Illusion: Binding Technique."

In the next moment, a sharp pain surged through Huang Sha's body as if he were pierced by massive iron spikes. His arms were raised in the air, unable to move.

Thud!

The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed.

Huang Sha felt a stab in his heart and glanced downward with his remaining vision, only to see a short sword plunged into his chest.

"Ugh..."

Huang Sha emitted a series of meaningless sounds before quickly losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Qing Ming muttered, "As expected of a perfected illusion technique, it's just so convenient to use."

Indeed, after these days of training, his "Illusion: Binding Technique" had risen from level 4 (393/2000) to level 5 (0/0)!

It was precisely because of this that he could seize that fleeting opportunity to successfully cast the technique and secure victory.
