Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Chapter 284: Chapter 283: Taking Action



'Genjutsu: Sharingan~'

With the pressure exerted by his two shadow clones, Qingming seized another opportunity and raised his hand to unleash this genjutsu, which he had perfected to the highest level.

However, Kaguya Mori no Suke was no ordinary foe.

Having long been active on this battlefield, which was a gathering place for Uchiha ninjas, he naturally had mastered ways to counter the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Moreover, he had just fallen victim to it not long ago, which made him wary.

Thus, at the instant he sensed the genjutsu invading his mind, he reacted swiftly.

His entire body's bone spikes suddenly contracted and curved, transforming in the blink of an eye into a ghastly white skeletal armor that protected him completely.

This was the first time Qingming had encountered such a situation, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

If it were ordinary bones, he could easily break through.

But the crux of the matter was that these bones were anything but ordinary.

These bones, cultivated from Kaguya Mori no Suke's manipulation of bone germ cells and osteoclasts, were of extremely high density and hardness, comparable to steel, and could not be pierced by a mere kunai.

Therefore, Qingming was left feeling helpless.

In this delay, Kaguya Mori no Suke broke free from the genjutsu and regained his consciousness.

How should one put it?

Truly worthy of a family renowned for its combat prowess!

His tenacity, or rather, his madness, left Qingming astonished; the sudden 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' could not trap the opponent for long.

However, stronger genjutsu either required a longer preparation time or needed to be enhanced by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The former, it was clear, his opponent would not allow him.

As for the latter, Qingming discreetly scanned his surroundings.

Just a moment ago, he had felt that unsettling sensation of being watched again.

Clearly, enemies were still lurking nearby.

Thus, he could not expose his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Fortunately, he had not expected to easily defeat Kaguya Mori no Suke with his two shadow clones from the start.

The recent opportunity was merely a stroke of luck.

Now it seemed that this unexpected boon was insufficient for victory; everything had to return to the original plan.

With this thought in mind, Qingming once again collaborated with his two shadow clones to launch an attack on Kaguya Mori no Suke.

In an instant, the sounds of clashing echoed continuously.

One had to admit that the Kaguya clan, with their 'Shikotsumyaku,' were indeed highly suited for combat, especially when utilizing physical techniques.

Not to mention, their body was covered in freely growing bone spikes, effectively transforming them into killing machines.

As for Qingming's physical techniques, while he might not surpass most jōnin, he was at least above average.

However, even with the combined efforts of himself and his two shadow clones, they were still unable to thoroughly suppress Kaguya Mori no Suke, who would occasionally counterattack.

If it weren't for the Sharingan's incredible insight, he would have likely been injured by now.

During this period, he had also witnessed various unique physical techniques from the Kaguya clan, such as 'Willow Dance,' 'Camellia Dance,' 'Larch Dance,' and 'Wire Flower Dance: Vine,' as well as 'Wire Flower Dance: Flower.'

Each of these techniques had its own characteristics and uses, and Kaguya Mori no Suke integrated them seamlessly to unleash devastating power.

Had it been anyone other than Qingming, they would have likely been overwhelmed by now.

However, continuing in this manner was also a massive drain on his energy.

Indeed, while his 'Shadow Clone Technique' was at lv4, merely creating shadow clones and then recalling them would consume about 7% of their chakra.

But this was only the case if the shadow clones remained still; if they engaged in intense combat as they were now, the chakra consumption would multiply significantly.

It was precisely for this reason that few ninjas would employ the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to assist in battle.

This was also the reason Kaguya Mori no Suke had mocked him at the beginning.

His opponent had said, "If you can't win alone, do you really think three of you can?" While he was merely probing Qingming's thoughts, it was clear he harbored such doubts in his mind.

And the truth was indeed such!

If the main body couldn't win, splitting into two shadow clones to assist wouldn't change the outcome against a formidable enemy.

Unless...

You possessed a unique skill like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

So why did Qingming still choose this approach?

The reason was simple: he had his own unique skill.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Qingming began to leverage the battle habits of Kaguya Mori no Suke that he had observed over the past while, subtly guiding him into making choices that would align with his own strategy.

Time passed, second by second.

Finally, Kaguya Mori no Suke found an opportunity and executed 'Shikotsumyaku: Willow Dance' once more.

In the blink of an eye, his bones seemed to vanish, and he transformed into a fluttering willow, gracefully evading Qingming's attacks.

Immediately following that, his bone blades struck back, interrupting the rhythm of Qingming and his two shadow clones' assault with precise, minimal movements.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Kaguya Mori no Suke noticed that one of the Qingming clones seemed to react a beat too slowly, revealing a minor flaw that was not quite a flaw.

This was a rare opportunity; instinctively, Kaguya Mori no Suke capitalized on it and swung his blade toward Qingming's midsection.

Sensing danger, Qingming immediately dodged.

However, Kaguya Mori no Suke pressed the attack, his body flowing like water, and in an instant, he delivered four or five strikes.

In that moment, Qingming found himself in a perilous situation.

The other two clones rushed in to provide assistance.

Yet, it was too late.

Kaguya Mori no Suke, relying on his formidable battle instinct, seized this rare chance and ultimately eliminated that Qingming clone before the other two could arrive.

Boom~

A burst of chakra smoke dissipated.

"Not the main body?"

Kaguya Mori no Suke murmured, seemingly disappointed.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that one of the approaching Qingming clones abruptly halted, positioning itself perfectly at eye level.

'Genjutsu: Sharingan~'

"A trap?!"

In an instant, Kaguya Mori no Suke realized that the previous Qingming clone, which had seemed to falter, was nothing but a complete trap.

Its purpose was to create an opportunity for the Qingming standing before him.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Kaguya Mori no Suke swiftly sensed the encroaching genjutsu.

Without a moment's hesitation, he closed his eyes.

At the same time, he manipulated the bone spikes on his body to swiftly split; some formed a gruesome bone armor to protect his vital areas, while others grew rapidly, turning into sharp bone spikes over a meter long to keep Qingming at bay.

Though he had immense confidence in the defensive power of his bone armor, and Qingming had not previously demonstrated a means to break it, he still felt compelled to add an extra layer of insurance considering the effort Qingming had put into creating this opportunity.

To react this quickly was a testament to his exceptional battle awareness.

But would all this be enough to stop Qingming?

The answer, of course, was no.

With all the preparations he had made, and having secured more time to cast 'Genjutsu: Sharingan,' how could he be thwarted by mere layers of defense?
