Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

"Zizi~ Qingming, prepare to intercept, it's coming your way."

The voice of Liangjie came through the earpiece.

Qingming pressed his headset and replied, "OK, I see it."

In the branches of a tree, Qingming watched as a massive wild boar charged towards him. He threw a kunai.

The kunai sliced through the air, like a bullet, swiftly and accurately striking the wild boar's left eye.

Blood dripped from the kunai, and the wild boar let out a painful roar.

Roar—

One must admit that the creatures in the ninja world are truly extraordinary. Not only are they large in size, but their vitality is also incredibly tenacious.

Even now, despite being pierced in the eye and injuring its brain, the wild boar below continued to jump around.

"But it ends here."

Muttering to himself, Qingming raised his right hand and ignited the explosive tag attached to the kunai.

Boom—

A deafening explosion erupted.

A burst of crimson flames engulfed the entire wild boar.

The pain from the burning fire made the wild boar scream incessantly, madly crashing into the surrounding trees, even hitting the tree where Qingming was hiding.

Reluctantly, Qingming had to change his hiding spot.

After a few breaths, the flames gradually subsided, and the wild boar lay still on the ground, not moving at all.

Looking at the charred wild boar, Qingming did not approach it. Instead, he took out another kunai and threw it like lightning, hitting the wild boar in its other eye.

Puff—

The sound of the blade entering flesh echoed.

The wild boar suddenly stood up, howling as it crashed through several large trees before falling to the ground again.

Watching the wild boar's chest and abdomen slowly stop rising and falling, Qingming scoffed, "Hmph! A beast is still a beast; no matter how cunning, it's just like this."

Although the creature tried to play dead, its rising chest easily betrayed its trick.

Such a trap was one Qingming would never fall for.

At this point, it could be confirmed that the wild boar was dead.

Swish~ Swish~

Two figures appeared, Liangjie and Mizuki Seiko.

"Qingming, you're too wasteful."

Liangjie looked at the wild boar's charred head and said, "Don't you know how to use the Great Fireball Technique? Why use an explosive tag?"

Indeed, using an explosive tag to kill such a wild boar was not cost-effective. Even with task rewards, it would end up being a loss when it came time to settle the accounts.

But this way, it could save chakra.

Although using the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique could also increase its proficiency, Qingming's focus was not on that right now, so saving a bit was better.

To Qingming, if spending a little money could allow him to conserve more chakra for what truly mattered, then it wasn't a loss.

At this moment, it had been a week since he had encountered Kakashi and the others.

In that week, apart from eating, sleeping, and doing tasks, he spent all his time on training.

With such diligence, the results were naturally good.

First, he had perfected the three-body technique, reaching level 3.

Now, he could complete both the simplest Transformation Technique and the most complex Body Replacement Technique within a second.

What does this mean?

Many Chūnin could not match his proficiency in these three techniques.

Of course, this only applied to this set of techniques.

After all, these were basic ninjutsu with an E-rank difficulty. For Chūnin, it wouldn't be too difficult to reach perfection with a bit of effort.

Secondly, his Basic Taijutsu had also progressed from level 2 to level 3.

Initially, he had hoped it might enhance his physique attribute a bit, just like when it progressed from level 1 to level 2.

That way, his chakra limit could continue to increase.

But he was disappointed.

Although Basic Taijutsu reaching level 3 also reached a perfected state, it did not cause any change in his physique attribute.

But thinking about it, if attributes could be so easily enhanced, the ninja world wouldn't have so many shinobi stuck at the rank of Genin for their entire lives.

It should be known that every increase in physical attributes represents a transformation for a ninja.

As long as a Genin could achieve one or two transformations, they wouldn't be guaranteed to become Chūnin, but at least their chakra would be sufficient.

Thus, it was normal that his physique attribute didn't grow after progressing Basic Taijutsu from level 2 to level 3. At the very least, some advanced taijutsu would likely be needed for that to happen.

Lastly, there was the Mind Reflection Technique.

In seven days, its proficiency had increased by a total of 125 points, changing from level 2 (260/500) to level 2 (385/500).

Thanks to this, his writing wheel eye awakening progress increased from (85/100) to (87/100).

As expected, the speed hadn't further declined.

Now he only needed to wait for the Mind Reflection Technique to reach level 3. If its effects were substantial, he might awaken the writing wheel eye before the Chūnin exams ended.

Otherwise, he would have to face the battlefield with his bare eyes.

Indeed, Qingming had received news that their batch of graduates would return to the battlefield together with the newly promoted Chūnin.

It was precisely for this reason that he regarded every bit of chakra as extremely important.

He had even temporarily set aside his plan to learn the Body Flicker Technique.

From now on, aside from necessary expenditures, he intended to devote all remaining chakra to studying the Mind Reflection Technique.

Without the writing wheel eye as a trump card, he felt a profound lack of security.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Qingming looked at Liangjie and Mizuki Seiko and said, "There are plenty of wild beasts in this forest, and our task is significant. Wasting a few explosive tags is nothing."

The task they had accepted was to drive away all the beasts within a ten-kilometer radius, with the requirement to kill at least one-third of the total number.

With so many beasts, if they followed the conventional method to drive them away or kill them, it would consume a lot of chakra and prolong the task duration.

Qingming didn't want to waste time and energy on this, so he preferred to spend a little more money to complete the task quickly.

Not giving Liangjie a chance to speak again, Qingming pulled out his kunai from the wild boar, wiped it, and said, "I'm heading to area two. You guys hurry up and drive the beasts over here."

After saying that, he didn't care how the two reacted and jumped away.

Watching his departing figure, Liangjie turned to Mizuki Seiko and said, "Seiko, have you noticed that Qingming has been a bit anxious lately?"

"Yeah."

Mizuki Seiko nodded in agreement.

In fact, she had noticed this long ago but hadn't mentioned it.

"Do you know why?"

Liangjie asked curiously.

"Perhaps it's because of the Chūnin exams!"

Mizuki Seiko replied.

"The Chūnin exams?"

Liangjie looked puzzled, "What does that have to do with us? We're not participating."

Hearing this, Mizuki Seiko hesitated for a moment, cautiously glanced around to ensure no one was listening, and then shared the news she had received from her Jonin father.

"I heard that the village plans to send us this batch of graduates to the battlefield after the Chūnin exams, together with the newly promoted Chūnin."

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, Liangjie exclaimed in surprise.

Although he hated performing low-level tasks with no technical content, he understood the dangers of the battlefield and naturally didn't want to head there so soon.

"Shh!"

Mizuki Seiko raised her right index finger and gestured for silence, "Lower your voice. My dad doesn't want me to spread this news, so don't tell anyone."

"Ah."

Liangjie realized and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't spread it."

In truth, they were worrying for nothing; even if the news spread, it wouldn't matter.

Because this matter had already been set in stone.

Although the news was still circulating among the Jonin and various clans, it wouldn't be long before it became common knowledge, and there was no need for secrecy.

"Alright, Liangjie, let's go."

After a moment of silence, it was Mizuki Seiko who spoke up.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Liangjie came back to his senses, replying, "Let's go."

Subsequently, the two hurried to area three together.
