Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Indeed, Aomei did not know any Earth Release techniques that didn't require hand signs. In fact, he hadn't even developed any Earth-nature chakra. However, that didn't mean he was out of options.

The moment he was buried beneath the ground, he activated his eye technique—Heavenly Defense—which granted him a brief period of invincibility.

In this state, nothing in the shinobi world could harm him, including the jutsu cast by Sakurakawa Fuu.

What? You're wondering if he wasn't supposed to avoid exposing his Mangekyou Sharingan?

That's correct. Aomei was reluctant to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan so easily, but that didn't mean he would restrain himself needlessly. Just now, being buried in the ground was an ideal moment. Under such circumstances, activating his Mangekyou and using Heavenly Defense wouldn't raise any suspicions.

Thus, he chose to use it without hesitation.

In fact, he had already been considering this while his opponent was preparing the jutsu.

It wasn't that he had foreseen the exact jutsu, but given how long his opponent had taken to set it up, it was bound to be something quite powerful, likely causing a significant disturbance.

And if it caused a big enough commotion, it would be easy for him to escape without anyone noticing.

So, it wasn't necessary for him to know the exact jutsu the enemy would use. He just needed to be aware that it would cause a big enough disturbance.

If that weren't the case, he would have interrupted his opponent's jutsu preparation.

Although the Earth Lance jutsu cast by the other Mist shinobi had held him back, he still had a few options if he really wanted to interrupt them.

Either the Shadow Clone Technique or any number of other jutsu would have given him a chance to disrupt the process. Worst case, he could have simply moved away.

The fact that his opponent had managed to cast the jutsu and trap him inside was entirely due to Aomei allowing it.

But in the end, his choice proved effective.

By using Heavenly Defense, he had slipped around to his opponent's back and easily pierced his vital organs with a sword.

"Urgh,"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Sakurakawa Fuu's lips.

Turning his head, Yamakui saw this, feeling both shocked and horrified. When he saw Aomei standing behind him, his heart trembled even more.

"You…"

He tried to speak, but before he could, Aomei vanished, replaced by the sight of his crimson Sharingan filling his vision.

"No, I'm caught in a genjutsu!"

Realizing his mistake, Yamakui immediately activated his chakra to dispel the illusion he was under.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With a flick of his hand, Aomei withdrew his sword from Sakurakawa Fuu's body, then smoothly swung it, slicing Yamakui's throat.

"Guh… gah…"

With a desperate struggle, Yamakui managed to free himself from the genjutsu, only to find himself clutching his throat in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding.

Thud. Thud.

Two heavy sounds rang out as Sakurakawa Fuu and Yamakui's bodies hit the ground, one after another.

Shinobi life forces are indeed much more resilient than an ordinary person's, allowing them to hold on a little longer before finally losing their last breaths.

Observing the two fallen bodies, Aomei wiped the blood flowing from beneath his left eye due to using Heavenly Defense and exhaled slowly.

Now, aside from the Three Swordsmen, the other three Hidden Mist jounin had all fallen to his hand.

The sight struck terror into the surrounding Mist shinobi, whether they were tokubetsu jounin or chunin, and their expressions filled with disbelief. The morale of the Mist began to collapse.

In stark contrast, the Konoha shinobi battling them grew emboldened. Although still in an overall disadvantageous position, they no longer felt as desperate as before.

Swish

Wiping the blood from his blade, Aomei glanced around at the Hidden Mist shinobi nearby. Each shinobi who met his gaze felt an oppressive weight. However, rather than moving toward them, Aomei turned to look further away toward the three battles where the jounin were engaged.

First was Uchiha Shisui.

He was still kiting away Fuguki Suikazan. Fuguki was formidable, and his Blast Sword: Droplets was extremely dangerous.

Yet, against Uchiha Shisui's expert blend of genjutsu, ninjutsu, and his incredible shunshin technique, Fuguki could not gain the upper hand and thus needed no assistance from Aomei.

Next was the Captain.

He was facing Kurosuki Raiga, whose Thunder Sword: Fang could summon powerful lightning. Against an average shinobi, it would be quite lethal.

But the Captain skillfully countered with his wind-style jutsu, which was highly effective against lightning techniques, while also deploying his potent fire jutsu to hold the line.

This fight, too, required no help for now.

Only the Vice Captain…

Of the three, his abilities were the weakest.

Even though Executioner's Blade had no particular advantages in combat, he was still struggling against Zabuza Momochi and had already suffered several wounds.

Nevertheless, Aomei had no intention of assisting yet.

His priority remained stabilizing the battle overall, ensuring that the chunin level didn't collapse. Otherwise, it would be the jounin who suffered the consequences in the end.

Thus, before lending a hand against the Three Swordsmen, he needed to thin out the Mist's chunin and tokubetsu jounin ranks, reducing the pressure on Konoha's shinobi somewhat.

Only then could he join his fellow jounin in good conscience.

With this plan set, Aomei wasted no time. His figure flickered several times before he dove into the crowd of shinobi.

"Ah!"

An agonized scream erupted from one of the Mist chunin.

But it was soon cut short.

Aomei seized him by the neck and activated Chakra Absorption Technique. In mere seconds, he drained the shinobi of his chakra.

The next one met the same fate. Aomei would first disable them, then proceed to absorb their chakra.

Swiftly moving through the battlefield, one Mist shinobi after another fell to Aomei, who gradually replenished his chakra reserves to over forty thousand points.

At this point, the tokubetsu jounin of the Hidden Mist finally completed their encirclement, trapping him within a designated area.

However, Aomei remained undaunted. He even took the time to count their numbers one by one.

"One, two, three…"

Seeing his brazen defiance, one of the Mist tokubetsu jounin shouted, "Kill!" and all of them lunged at him together.

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted.

Against their combined assault, Aomei alternated between slashing with his sword, casting jutsu, and deploying genjutsu with his Sharingan.

In essence, he unleashed everything in his arsenal short of his Mangekyou.

Before long, the first casualty emerged, a Mist tokubetsu jounin whom Aomei had hit with a direct Rasengan to the abdomen, severely injuring him.

The others hesitated momentarily, but soon resumed their attack with even greater ferocity.

Aomei, however, remained fearless. Utilizing his Sharingan's enhanced perception, he weaved between attacks, dodging them with ease.

Meanwhile, he continued searching for openings amidst the flurry of strikes from the encircling Mist tokubetsu jounin to mount his counterattack.
