Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

The root ninja had his throat cut, letting out a series of "gasping" sounds. However, he was dedicated to his duty; even as death approached, he managed to form a hand sign, turning himself into a "Blood Demon."

After killing the blood creature that had entangled him, Qingming witnessed this scene and realized it was too late to stop it.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't too dire.

After transforming into a "Blood Demon," although the opponent possessed an "immortal body," he could be defeated several times to completely drain his sanity.

At that point, even if two "Blood Demons" attacked him together, Qingming would not be afraid in the slightest.

The current problem was how to break the barrier.

Indeed, even though the root ninja had "killed himself," the barrier remained intact.

This led Qingming to a speculation: perhaps this so-called "Blood Demon Barrier" and these two "Blood Demons" were two sides of the same coin. Only by defeating them could he break the barrier.

This was not just a random guess; the blood-red barrier had flickered when the two "Blood Demons" were born.

Thinking along this line, Qingming wondered if killing the "Blood Demons" would weaken the barrier.

He acted on his thoughts, first killing the newly born "Blood Demons" several times until they lost their sanity, then sheathing his short sword.

Next, he dodged the attacks of the two "Blood Demons" and quickly formed hand seals, exhaling a massive flame.

The flames split and condensed in mid-air, ultimately forming hundreds of fist-sized fireballs.

"Go!"

With a low shout, Qingming controlled all the fireballs to divide into two groups, smashing into the two "Blood Demons."

The "Blood Demons," unable to evade, were struck directly by the fireballs.

Amid a series of explosions, both "Blood Demons" fell to the ground, their skin sizzling.

That was the sound of blood repairing their wounds.

Soon, the two "Blood Demons" stood up again, roaring as they charged at Qingming, seemingly unharmed.

However, Qingming keenly noticed that the surrounding barrier's glow had dimmed slightly.

In other words, his speculation was correct: killing the "Blood Demons" indeed weakened the barrier.

It also proved that ninjutsu could harm these "Blood Demons."

After all, if they were immune to physical attacks, it would be ridiculous. If they were also immune to ninjutsu damage, they would have long been notorious, rather than something Qingming had never even heard of before.

Through this incident, Qingming gained a deeper understanding of the ninja world, realizing that some memories from his previous life could only serve as references and should not be fully trusted.

After all, that was just a corner of the real world.

If a mere Root organization could produce such bizarre barrier ninjutsu, who knew what other hidden techniques other ninja villages might have?

'It seems I must be more cautious in the future.'

After privately warning himself, Qingming no longer conserved chakra. He rotated through three types of Fire Release ninjutsu, quickly weakening the barrier to almost imperceptible levels.

Qingming then flashed to one side of the barrier, observed for a moment, and once again formed hand seals, unleashing his strongest single-target ninjutsu—Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

He expelled a fireball that rapidly expanded, ultimately crashing into the barrier.

Crack~

A crack appeared on the barrier.

Then came the second, the third...

Before long, the barrier was covered in dense cracks.

Finally, accompanied by a barely audible shattering sound, the entire barrier turned into countless specks of light, disappearing into the air.

Breathing in the fresh air again, Qingming felt a wave of relief.

But just then, more than ten kunai suddenly flew out from the woods, aimed at various parts of Qingming's body.

Seeing this, Qingming's pupils contracted slightly. He swiftly drew his short sword and waved it, deflecting all the incoming kunai.

Then, he flashed and sprinted to the side.

However, before he could run far, a Rock Ninja blocked his path ahead.

At the same time, figures appeared behind and on both sides.

"Looks like I'm surrounded," Qingming murmured softly.

Long before those two root ninjas activated the "Blood Demon Barrier," Qingming had suspected he might be surrounded by Rock Ninja.

After all, such a special barrier, even if it had a small coverage area, would be enough to attract attention.

This was precisely why he had unleashed ninjutsu without regard for the chakra consumption, breaking the barrier as quickly as possible to avoid being surrounded.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

'Since that's the case, I'll have to fight my way out.'

Resolute, Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately charged toward the Rock Ninja ahead.

Clang, clang, clang~

The sound of fierce fighting echoed through the forest.

As Qingming fought, he pushed deeper into the woods.

······

Two hours later.

The second meeting point.

Qingming finally saw his teammates.

According to plan, after completing the ambush mission, there were two designated meeting points.

However, after expending great effort to shake off the pursuit of the Rock Ninja and reaching the first meeting point, he found only two dead Rock Ninjas and some traces of battle.

As for his teammates, not a single one was in sight.

Reluctantly, he could only continue forward. Along the way, he unfortunately encountered another team of Rock Ninja, consisting of four members led by a special jonin.

To shake them off, Qingming sustained a cut to his side.

Fortunately, he had "Healing Technique," so this minor injury was nothing serious.

After nearly another hour of travel, he finally arrived at the second meeting point, where he finally saw his teammates.

However, before he could get close, a kunai shot toward him.

Qingming remained composed, stopping in his tracks as the kunai landed about half a meter in front of him with a warning.

"Password?"

A voice came from ahead.

Qingming frowned slightly and directly asked, "What password?"

However, upon hearing his question, the person and the nearby individuals breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "It's our own."

"Come over!"

Qingming hesitated briefly but then walked over.

As he approached, the person who had just asked explained, "Qingming, don't take it to heart. Earlier at the first meeting point, someone tried to sneak in, so we set up this test temporarily."

Upon hearing the explanation, Qingming finally understood the battle traces at the first meeting point and the purpose behind the inquiry for a password.

They had rushed this operation, so there was no designated password for the meeting.

But outsiders wouldn't know that!

Thus, anyone who hesitated when questioned or provided irrelevant answers would definitely be a problem.

Conversely, someone like Qingming, who directly asked, would be one of their own.

This way, they had initially differentiated friend from foe.

After a few exchanges to confirm identities, Qingming headed straight to Uchiha Shisui's side.
