Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Clang!

After a parry, Qingming attacked again. The Sand Ninja in front of him blocked the strike, and Qingming continued his relentless assault, his swordplay resembling a torrential storm—fast and furious.

The Sand Ninja felt like a lone boat in a tempest, struggling against the overwhelming waves, with the threat of capsizing looming over him.

Seeing his teammate in peril, another Sand Ninja rushed to assist. Yet, even against two opponents, Qingming remained calm.

Employing the exquisite techniques of the "Leaf Style Swordsmanship," he swiftly regained the upper hand.

As the two adversaries began to adjust to his rhythm, Qingming abruptly changed his approach. The hypnotic power of his Sharingan activated fully, shifting from "Leaf Style" to the more suited "Uchiha Style Swordsmanship."

In an instant, one of the Sand Ninjas fell victim to his genjutsu, and Qingming's blade left a deep, bone-deep gash on the Ninja's left arm.

It wasn't that Qingming aimed for a less vital area; his strike had been momentarily interrupted by the other Ninja's interference, which led to only a severe injury on the arm.

The wounded Ninja let out a cry of pain, awakening from the genjutsu, and immediately attempted to retreat.

However, Qingming would not allow him to escape. He forced the other Ninja back, then lunged forward to confront the retreating Sand Ninja.

His sword flashed repeatedly, inflicting numerous deep and varying wounds upon the Sand Ninja.

In response, the remaining Sand Ninja charged in to provide cover.

Feeling the kunai aimed at him from behind, Qingming quickly dodged, then leaped back to create some space. He raised his hands, completing the hand signs at a rapid pace before unleashing a torrent of fire.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"

Flames erupted, splitting into hundreds of fireballs that barreled toward the two Sand Ninjas.

Caught off guard, they attempted to evade, but several fireballs struck them directly.

As the flames exploded, both were severely injured.

Seeing this, Qingming prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

Suddenly, a scream pierced the air from a distance.

Qingming turned to see Teruhiro, who had gone to confront the Sand Puppet Master, caught in the jaws of the giant spider puppet. It crushed his body in half, with blood and entrails spilling onto the ground as he writhed in agony.

Even though Qingming had grown accustomed to witnessing death, this scene still shocked him.

Fortunately, Teruhiro endured little pain; within moments, he had succumbed to death.

Meanwhile, the situation for Yoichi was grim as well. His opponent was the humanoid puppet.

Though the puppet had sacrificed many mechanisms for greater realism, its characteristic lack of fear of death made it a formidable adversary for Yoichi.

Qingming quickly assessed the situation. They had two remaining allies, and he still retained his full strength. Yoichi was at about 70 to 80 percent capacity.

On the Sand Ninja side, there were three members, but two had been severely injured by him, meaning Yoichi should be able to handle them.

Perhaps it's time to execute the plan.

With this thought in mind, Qingming activated the "Body Flicker Technique," instantly appearing in front of Yoichi to intercept an attack from the humanoid puppet.

Without looking back, he instructed, "I've got this. You deal with the other two."

Yoichi glanced at the two struggling Sand Ninjas and replied cautiously, "Captain, be careful."

"Yeah."

With a brief acknowledgment, Qingming charged toward the humanoid puppet.

But before he could close the distance, the puppet opened its mouth, and hundreds of steel needles shot out.

Though the needles lacked variation, their speed was beyond human capability.

Fortunately, with his Sharingan, Qingming could see the trajectory of the needles.

As Chiya, the puppet master, remained skeptical, he commanded the humanoid puppet to fire more waves of needles. Yet, Qingming dodged each one with ease.

Seizing the opportunity, Qingming pressed forward, aiming to engage the puppet in close combat.

Seeing this, Chiya, hiding in the shadows, chuckled. "Close combat with a puppet? How naive…"

However, before he could finish his thought, Qingming's sword pierced through the puppet's protective layer, precisely entering the gap in its left shoulder joint.

Click!

With a series of grinding gears, the puppet's left shoulder detached and fell to the ground.

In that moment, Chiya's laughter was silenced.

Conversely, Qingming wore a slight smile on his face.

When planning to seize the secret techniques of the puppets, he had considered how to deal with the puppet master.

Traditionally, one would avoid direct conflict with the puppets and seek to locate the puppet master to deliver a decisive strike.

However, Qingming believed this method was too passive.

Puppets, while not fearing death or threats, had their weaknesses, like the connection points of their components.

While many might struggle to target these spots during a heated battle, Qingming was different.

With his double-tomoe Sharingan and extraordinary observational skills, he had nearly perfected two advanced swordsmanship styles, allowing him to strike accurately.

This method turned the tables—by relentlessly dismantling the puppets, the hidden puppet master would eventually reveal themselves.

Once that happened, without puppets, Qingming could easily overpower them.

Should the puppet master wish to avoid this fate, they had two options: either kill him before he dismantled the puppets or flee immediately.

Initially, Chiya chose the former, but as Qingming skillfully dodged the combined attacks of both puppets, dismantling the humanoid puppet's limbs and the spider puppet's legs, he swiftly opted for the latter—escape!

But would Qingming allow him to escape?

Chiya's lack of battle experience, combined with his earlier actions, led Qingming to believe he was relatively young and sheltered.

Considering the humanoid puppet's youthful appearance of around fifteen or sixteen, Qingming had reason to suspect it was modeled after Chiya himself.

Thus, capturing him for interrogation would likely yield the secrets of the puppet techniques.

Such an opportunity was too valuable for Qingming to overlook.

Watching the retreating spider puppet and humanoid puppet, Qingming wasted no time and immediately pursued them.

In the blink of an eye, the two puppets and their master vanished from sight.
