Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Three days later.

Morning.

Northwest side of the main camp.

In the training ground, Qingming held a short sword, practicing his swordsmanship repeatedly. His movements were agile, and his expression was focused. Occasionally, he would stop to reflect for a moment, clearly demonstrating his seriousness.

Indeed, he intended to dedicate this period to practicing the Mind's Eye Technique.

However, he could only recover a limited amount of chakra each day. At most, he could deplete it within two hours of intensive practice.

With the remaining time, aside from refining his chakra, he had quite a bit left over.

Therefore, he allocated a small portion of his chakra to practice swordsmanship, which didn't consume much chakra but was quite time-intensive.

At the same time, he wanted to use this quiet time to carefully consider the future development of his swordsmanship.

Long ago, when he had just started learning Konoha-ryū Kenjutsu, he had thought about whether he could create a technique similar to Dance of the Crescent Moon.

Unfortunately, he hadn't had the time until now.

Now, he had about ten days to rest, making it the perfect opportunity to contemplate this.

First of all, he decided to forgo flashy techniques.

With his current level of swordsmanship, combined with his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he could pose a significant threat to any target with just regular attacks.

Thus, he could overlook some of the more intricate techniques.

Secondly, he could also abandon the idea of simply enhancing the power of his sword strikes.

The vast majority of ninjas in the ninja world are quite fragile; as long as he hits them, he can cause damage without needing to boost the power of his strikes.

As for those who aren't fragile, even if he increased the power of his sword strikes, it might not be enough to break through their defenses.

In such cases, he could utilize other skills to launch attacks, like the Wind Release: Rasengan already on his development list.

As a technique later mastered by Naruto and recorded in the sealing book, its power was indisputable and could effectively break through defenses.

Therefore, he didn't need to waste energy trying to enhance the power of his sword strikes.

Considering his combat habits, Qingming felt that when developing his ultimate technique, he should focus on functionality to better facilitate his offensive strategies.

Currently, Qingming had three preliminary ideas.

The first was to follow the path of Dance of the Crescent Moon, creating a technique that blended reality and illusion, allowing him to launch multiple attacks in an instant, thereby increasing the difficulty of defending against him.

Of course, he certainly couldn't replicate Dance of the Crescent Moon by splitting into two shadow clones to launch a combined attack.

With the enormous amount of chakra he would have in the future, such an attack would consume far too much chakra and simply wouldn't be worth it.

What he should borrow from was the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique developed by the Third Hokage.

In this way, the chakra consumption should be manageable.

As for how to replicate it...

It was simple: he could either use the Sharingan to copy this jutsu or develop it on his own.

The former would require an opportunity; relying on Hiruzen Sarutobi to demonstrate it was unrealistic. However, Orochimaru, who inherited Hiruzen's teachings, also knew this jutsu, so perhaps he could see it on the battlefield.

At that time, he could stealthily copy it.

The latter wasn't too far-fetched either, considering that Hiruzen had developed this technique inspired by the Shadow Clone Technique.

And he had already learned the Shadow Clone Technique, which meant he could fully utilize its principles to create the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

Qingming felt quite confident about this.

With the proficiency panel at his disposal, as long as he leveled up the Shadow Clone Technique to a sufficient level, fully understanding its principles...

Then, with the right idea in mind, developing the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique wouldn't be too difficult.

Once he developed this technique, creating his desired sword strike would be much easier.

Qingming tentatively named this move Shadow Sword Technique.

Its ultimate function would allow every strike he made to freely switch between single and multiple attacks.

In this way, combined with his Sharingan to strike from blind spots in the enemy's vision, they would find it incredibly difficult to defend against him.

As for the second idea, it bore some relation to the Body Flicker Technique.

However, he wasn't looking to combine the two techniques.

He had already attempted this before, and it was completely unfeasible; Body Flicker Technique and Swordsmanship were two different paths.

His idea was to merge Wind Release with Swordsmanship, allowing him and his sword to seamlessly unite with the chakra of the wind release.

This would achieve an extraordinary realm of "the person moves with the sword, and the sword moves with the heart."

Qingming named this technique Instant Sword Technique.

To successfully develop this technique, three prerequisites were necessary. First, he needed to fully master the shape and nature transformations of wind-attribute chakra.

Only then could it serve as the intermediary between the person and the sword.

This aspect shouldn't be difficult; as long as he leveled up Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to perfection, he would be fine.

The second requirement was to continue improving his Swordsmanship level. Currently, level 5 was absolutely insufficient; he would need at least level 6 to attempt this.

He was already working on this.

With his current progress, it shouldn't take too long.

As for the third...

It would involve finding a good sword again.

The short sword he held had been acquired from a special Jonin in Iwagakure. While it was crafted with a fair amount of chakra-conducting metal and was decent quality, it was only adequate.

To meet the requirements for using Instant Sword Technique, he would need a sword of much higher caliber.

Putting aside the sword's other abilities, it at least needed to be highly efficient at transmitting chakra; otherwise, it would be challenging to merge Wind Release with Swordsmanship.

After much thought, Qingming concluded that the Kusanagi Sword would be an excellent choice.

Unfortunately, although swords like this were not unique in the ninja world, they were still quite rare, and acquiring one was no easy task.

Shaking his head, Qingming considered a third avenue.

Compared to Shadow Sword Technique and Instant Sword Technique, this third sword technique was the one Qingming valued most and also the one with the lowest implementation difficulty.

He named it Phantom Sword Technique.

This technique would combine genjutsu with Swordsmanship, allowing the sword strikes to possess the effects of illusion, making them nearly impossible to defend against.

The reason this was the easiest to achieve was that once his Genjutsu: Sharingan reached maximum level, he would be able to cast genjutsu with just a gesture.

And this "gesture" naturally included the use of Swordsmanship.

At that time, he would only need to transform the movements that should be guided by his body into sword strikes, allowing him to smoothly cast genjutsu.

Currently, his Genjutsu: Sharingan proficiency was at level 6 (2,310/10,000), and he was less than 8,000 proficiency points away from reaching level 7.

In terms of chakra, that equated to about 600,000 points.

Even without considering the supply from his "chakra batteries," that amount of chakra was something he could gather in about a month.

Thus, this amount of chakra was not something beyond his reach.

Moreover, once he reached the frontlines, capturing prisoners would be unavoidable to serve as "chakra batteries."

By then, 600,000 points wouldn't really mean much.

However, the thought of all the work he'd have to do afterward made Qingming's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, he knew that he could approach it step by step as long as he made a solid plan.

With his mood sorted out, Qingming continued practicing his swordsmanship.
