Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

The night wind rustled through the trees.

Qingming faced off against the two Mist ninjas, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the air around them felt almost suffocating.

Unbeknownst to them, the nearby Chunin had all retreated from the battlefield.

At one moment, a leaf fell, blocking Qingming's line of sight.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

In the next instant, several kunai were thrown by one of the Mist Jonin, either to cut off Qingming's escape or to aim for his vital points.

The Sharingan spun rapidly.

In an instant, Qingming spotted the kunai and quickly discerned that three of them were wrapped with explosive tags.

Without any hesitation, he swiftly produced several kunai of his own and threw them.

Clang, clang, clang~

A series of sharp metallic sounds echoed as the kunai clashed in mid-air, scattering sparks before flying off in different directions.

Immediately after, loud explosions erupted.

Boom, boom, boom~

Three crimson fireballs appeared, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Due to the proximity, the sudden shift from dark to light forced Qingming to shut his eyes.

"Now's the time!"

At that moment, another Mist Jonin shouted and unleashed a jutsu he had long prepared.

"Earth Style: Earth Spike!"

In an instant, countless rock spikes erupted from the ground, resembling venomous snakes, thrusting toward Qingming from all directions.

Sensing the danger, Qingming quickly dodged, but the sheer number of spikes was overwhelming, especially since the Mist Jonin had anticipated his movement perfectly.

Not only was the timing impeccable, but the control over the rock spikes—both in speed and accuracy—was incredibly high.

This left Qingming in a bit of a bind.

Slash~

A sound like flesh being torn apart echoed.

Qingming had failed to evade in time, and one of the sudden rock spikes grazed his left arm.

However, that was all that happened.

After a brief moment of discomfort, Qingming reopened his eyes.

With the enhanced insight from the Sharingan, even the fastest spikes could no longer harm him.

At that moment, Qingming moved like a dancer on the edge of a blade, each step allowing him to deftly evade the rock spikes' assault.

Though the situation appeared perilous, his calm demeanor and confident gaze made it seem remarkably graceful.

From a distance, the Mist Jonin controlling the spikes furrowed his brow at the sight.

He had dealt with high-ranking Uchiha before.

While their Sharingan was formidable, none had ever given him the impression of such effortless mastery as Qingming did now.

"Is his eye even more powerful than those seasoned Uchiha Jonin?"

Yamakura was startled by his sudden thought.

The more he considered it, the more plausible it seemed.

After all, what could account for Qingming's ability to kill Kaguya Mori no Suke?

Though he had no fondness for the insane clan, he could not deny their strength.

Yet such a powerful ninja falling to Qingming surely indicated exceptional skill on Qingming's part.

Recalling their earlier battle, Qingming had managed to flawlessly evade Kaguya Mori no Suke's various physical attacks, waiting for the right moment to counterattack.

"Ugh~"

Yamakura shivered involuntarily.

Seeing Qingming, who showed no signs of chakra depletion nearby, he increasingly felt that both he and his partner had underestimated their opponent.

However, it was too late for regrets. Since they had committed, they would have to see it through.

With that thought, he immediately turned to his teammate and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Just right!"

The other Mist Jonin replied as he finished forming the final hand seal.

As he spoke, he simultaneously separated his hands and slammed them into the ground.

In the next instant, a torrent of chakra surged from his body, violently rushing underground and connecting with the earth's veins beneath them.

"Let's go!"

Hayakawa Kaede shouted, mentally reciting, "Ninjutsu—Reversal of Heaven and Earth!"

The next moment, an invisible ripple extended from him, quickly spreading forward and covering a radius of several dozen meters around Qingming in the blink of an eye.

An invisible force erupted from the ground, suddenly increasing the pressure Qingming had to bear severalfold.

"Ugh~"

Qingming groaned, feeling his movements slow drastically.

But that wasn't all.

Soon, cracks appeared in the ground, followed by a second, then a third.

Before long, the earth around them resembled a shattered mirror, riddled with fissures of varying widths.

With immense pressure bearing down on him, Qingming dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding the cracks.

However, this was merely the beginning.

As the cracks stopped expanding, they rapidly widened until they reached a critical point and violently shattered.

In that moment, everything above the ground—flowers, trees, snakes, insects, and even humans—was buried beneath the earth.

Once everything on the surface had vanished, the fractured ground, under that immense pressure, once again solidified into a firm surface.

It was as if the very earth had reversed itself, a terrifying spectacle.

This was the effect of an A-rank ninjutsu—Earth Style: Reversal of Heaven and Earth. It first restricted the enemy's movements with immense pressure, then crushed the ground to bury them, and finally sealed the deal by restoring everything to its original state.

Looking at the barren ground, Yamakura quickly appeared in front of Hayakawa Kaede and asked, "How did it go? Did it work?"

"Phew, phew."

Hayakawa Kaede was panting heavily, "It should be fine. I can feel it; the opponent has indeed been buried by my jutsu."

Upon hearing this, Yamakura let out a quiet sigh of relief.

As his partner, he knew well the power of this technique, which, though requiring time to perform and consuming a large amount of chakra, was undeniably fearsome.

Once truly unleashed, even if the first wave of ground destruction did not kill the target, the ensuing crushing pressure would lead to suffocation and, ultimately, death.

As for the target escaping the jutsu? That was almost impossible.

Once buried, the target would be compressed from all sides and rendered immobile.

Without the ability to form seals, how could one perform ninjutsu?

"Oh right, it seems he can perform an unsealing jutsu?"

Suddenly, Yamakura thought of Qingming's Rasengan, and his heart skipped a beat.

But soon, he calmed down again.

That jutsu was clearly an attribute-less ninjutsu, and to escape from being buried, one would need to use Earth Style techniques.

He found it highly unlikely that Qingming would have a jutsu that allowed him to escape while buried, as the odds of that were minuscule.

Thus, there was no need to worry.

Pfft!

However, just as he thought this, a sound like a blade piercing flesh echoed, followed by his partner's voice as he coughed up blood.

Yamakura turned to see a familiar figure standing behind Hayakawa Kaede—it was Qingming!
