Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

"Eek eek~"

Just as the summoning beast mouse was heavily injured by Qingming, two more mice emerged from beneath two other Rock Ninja.

They dashed toward the cave exit at an incredible speed.

Qingming carefully sensed the presence of these mice and realized that if he didn't keep his eyes on them, it would be hard to detect their existence.

This was partly due to their inherent weakness, which made them hard to notice, but mostly because of their talent.

He discovered that they seemed to be able to actively conceal their own presence, greatly reducing their visibility.

It was also for this reason that he hadn't noticed their intrusion during his training.

With this issue clarified, Qingming felt a sigh of relief.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he threw two shurikens, which struck the mice before they could leave his line of sight.

Accompanied by a chorus of squeaks, Qingming burst out of the cave.

If he had been a little greedier, he could have drained the mental and physical energy from a few more Cloud and Rock Ninjas before leaving, but to be on the safe side, he bolted out of his hiding spot right away.

It proved that his caution was well-founded.

The moment he exited the cave, several kunai shot towards him.

With his crimson red eyes, his Sharingan spun rapidly.

In a single glance, Qingming noticed that the kunai were attached to explosive tags.

Without hesitation, he swiftly dodged the kunai's ambush.

Then, he pushed off the ground, creating distance between himself and the cave.

In the next moment, a series of explosions erupted behind him, and the entrance to the cave collapsed amid flashes of fire.

It was easy to imagine that if he had greedily lingered for just a moment longer, believing that the captives were protecting him, the hidden enemies would have taken action without hesitation.

If that had happened, he might have found himself trapped inside.

As it turned out, the enemy didn't care at all about the two Cloud Ninjas and the three Rock Ninjas.

'But who are these hidden assailants?'

Qingming pondered, casting his gaze in the direction from which the kunai had come. There, he spotted a disheveled Rock Jonin.

Clearly, the other party had just arrived.

Previously, they must have feared disturbing the grass and had not approached, instead allowing the summoning beast mouse to scout ahead.

But once that mouse had been heavily injured and alerted them, they hurried over.

Unfortunately for them, they were a step too late and had failed to block Qingming inside the cave.

As they faced off, a dozen mice suddenly appeared from behind, surrounding the Rock Jonin with a cacophony of squeaks.

The Rock Jonin seemed to understand their cries, his expression shifting with their sounds.

In the end, his face turned completely grim.

"Uchiha brat, you're quite bold to have killed Xiao Qi," Gao Shanyang said through gritted teeth, glaring at Qingming.

"Xiao Qi? Killed?"

Qingming was momentarily taken aback by the statement, then quickly realized that the Xiao Qi referred to was the summoning beast mouse.

'But it's dead?'

To be honest, Qingming was a bit surprised.

After all, once he attacked, the summoning technique had already been canceled, and the mouse had returned to its original location.

Qingming had thought that the other party would have managed to save it, but now it seemed that his strike had indeed taken its life.

However,

'Three of your village's ninjas are still buried in the cave, unaware of their fate, and yet you're here fretting over the death of a summoning beast.'

Qingming shook his head, thinking how very Rock Village that was.

Because Onoki adhered to the principle of quantity over quality, significantly lowering the entry and graduation requirements for Rock Ninjas, they ended up with the largest ninja population in the ninja world.

But this also led to two consequences: the quality of Rock Ninjas varied greatly, and many lower-tier Rock Ninjas seemed extraordinarily "cheap."

As a result, many high-ranking Rock Ninjas didn't care about the deaths of their subordinates.

Some even deliberately arranged for them to die, using the lives of these lower-tier ninjas to wear down the enemy's chakra and stamina.

Once the enemy was sufficiently drained, they would personally step in to complete the mission.

Clearly, the Rock Jonin in front of him belonged to this type.

He didn't care about the three captured Rock Ninjas; perhaps, in his eyes, their lives were not worth as much as that summoning beast mouse.

But what did that have to do with Qingming?

He wasn't a Rock Ninja, so why should he care?

What he needed to think about now was how to quickly resolve this opponent and leave.

With that thought in mind, Qingming activated his Sharingan, intending to hypnotize the Jonin to create an opportunity.

However, this Rock Jonin was clearly not easy to deal with.

Although he appeared furious, he remained highly alert to Qingming's actions. The moment Qingming activated his Sharingan, the Jonin immediately shifted his gaze away.

He then tossed two slender senbon with incredible speed, aimed straight at Qingming's eyes.

"Eh~"

Seeing the Jonin's reaction, Qingming let out a soft exclamation and tilted his head to evade the senbon attack.

Without missing a beat, he threw several shurikens, accurately sealing off the Jonin's escape route.

That's right; he aimed for the escape route.

Earlier, Gao Shanyang's expressions of anger, rage, and a desire to kill him in revenge for the mouse had all been a performance.

From the start, the Jonin never intended to engage him head-on, so as soon as Qingming activated his Sharingan, he began to flee.

Recalling the recent events, Qingming suddenly remembered the fleeting moment of discomfort on the Jonin's face upon seeing his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Clearly, from that moment, the Jonin had been plotting to escape.

In fact, Qingming surmised that if the Jonin had known he was an Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan from the outset, he probably wouldn't have even approached.

But since he had come, he couldn't allow the Jonin to escape easily.

With that thought in mind, Qingming lunged forward, drawing his short sword and clashing with Gao Shanyang, who had just been thwarted by the shurikens.

Clang! Clang!

Kunai and short sword collided, sending sparks flying.

Qingming unleashed all his power, combining his Sharingan with his swordsmanship, and in just a short while, he gained a decisive advantage.

This was only natural!

Although Gao Shanyang was a special Jonin, he excelled in tracking rather than direct combat.

In terms of frontline fighting ability, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary Chunin.

Thus, under Qingming's full-on assault, he found it nearly impossible to counterattack.

In fact, he couldn't even unleash a single ninjutsu.

This was a common experience for most ninjas whose power level fell below Qingming's.

With his level 5 swordsmanship and the watchful gaze of the three-tomoe Sharingan, anyone lacking sufficient strength didn't stand a chance to "slowly" weave hand seals.

If they attempted to do so, Qingming could seize that opportunity and eliminate them instantly.

In this aspect, he bore a resemblance to the warriors of the Land of Iron.

However, while the warriors of the Land of Iron relied on rich combat experience to find flaws in the ninjas, Qingming relied on his Sharingan.

Yet, regardless of the method, the final outcome was the same: ninjas who were insufficiently strong found it impossible to last long against them.
