Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

With his plan forming in his mind, Qingming glanced at the surrounding swarm of bees, then shook his head in disdain and said, "Is this the famous insect manipulation technique of the Shenhe Clan?"

His tone and gestures clearly conveyed his utter disdain.

Even though Chifeng (Red Bee) suspected that Qingming might be trying to provoke him, he couldn't suppress his anger when he heard Qingming's words.

Before Chifeng could respond, Qingming added, "With such poor skills, you dare compare yourselves to the Aburame Clan? Heh."

Hearing the name "Aburame Clan" and the dismissive "heh" from Qingming, Chifeng lost control of his emotions entirely. Rage boiled over.

"You brat from the Uchiha Clan, what do you know? If it weren't for the Aburame Clan playing tricks in the last ninja war, our Shenhe Clan would never have fallen!"

"Playing tricks? Heh."

With a mocking chuckle, Qingming shook his head, "If you're not as good, then just admit it. Blaming others for using tricks? Is this all your Shenhe Clan amounts to?"

"Good! Good! GOOD!"

Chifeng was so infuriated that he spat out the word "good" three times in a row.

Then, gritting his teeth, he spat, "You little Uchiha brat, you've managed to anger me. Let's see if your mouth stays this bold after I capture you."

Just as he was about to command his bees to attack, a pair of scarlet Sharingan, with a single tomoe in each, entered his vision. They quickly took hold of his attention, drawing him deeper and deeper into their mesmerizing depths.

"Sharingan? No!"

Thanks to the mental fortitude he had developed over the years from controlling swarms of bees, Chifeng managed to resist falling completely under Qingming's genjutsu right away.

In the final moment before losing consciousness, Chifeng bit down hard on his tongue.

Fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and the sharp pain brought him back to full awareness.

However, as soon as he regained consciousness, Qingming was already swinging his sword towards him with all his might.

Slash—

The sound of a blade tearing through flesh echoed through the battlefield.

Blood sprayed everywhere as Chifeng let out a pained scream. His body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

A deep, bone-revealing wound stretched across his chest, from his right shoulder down to his left hip, nearly cleaving him in two.

Had he not instinctively stepped back in the final moment, Qingming's blade would have undoubtedly ended his life right then and there.

But even so, the injury was severe.

However, Qingming wasn't satisfied. His goal was a clean kill.

That was the reason he had activated his Sharingan in the first place.

If he failed to eliminate Chifeng swiftly, the resulting trouble would be immense.

With this thought in mind, Qingming didn't hesitate. Using the Body Flicker Technique, he closed the distance to deliver the final blow.

Despite his injuries, Chifeng was still a Special Jōnin. Though he wasn't powerful in direct combat, his battle experience was undeniable.

Seeing Qingming closing in again, Chifeng gritted his teeth, disregarding the pain, and commanded his bees to attack, trying to hold Qingming off while ordering his queen bee to drag him away to safety.

However, with the boost from his Sharingan, Qingming's reflexes were greatly enhanced, making the bees' movements appear as slow as a crawl to him.

Using only the basic Konoha sword techniques, Qingming effortlessly prevented any bees from approaching him. Any long-range attacks were also dodged with ease.

His movements were efficient and precise, closing the distance between them with each passing second.

If Chifeng were in top form, he might have been able to command his bees to block Qingming and make his escape.

But that slash from earlier had wounded him too gravely for him to last much longer.

The longer this dragged on, the more certain his death.

With his body growing weaker from blood loss, Chifeng made a decisive move. He gritted his teeth and used the Shenhe Clan's last resort technique: Insect Fusion Technique.

In the next moment, a piercing shriek erupted from the queen bee beside him.

Following the sound, Qingming saw the queen bee spewing a large quantity of sticky honey, enveloping Chifeng entirely.

Cautious, Qingming was about to observe what Chifeng was planning when the queen bee suddenly swallowed Chifeng whole.

"What's going on?"

Though puzzled, Qingming didn't hesitate to attack.

Breaking through the bees' blockade, Qingming slashed his sword at the queen bee's abdomen.

Clang!

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

Qingming's sword seemed to have struck something as hard as metal, leaving the queen bee unharmed and numbing Qingming's arm from the force.

Surprised, Qingming's eyes flashed with curiosity. He hadn't expected the queen bee's body to be this tough.

Before attacking, he had specifically chosen the seemingly softest part of its abdomen, yet even that had been as hard as steel. He could only imagine how sturdy the rest of the queen bee's body must be.

A sharp screech followed, and the queen bee, aware of the attack, lunged at Qingming with its front legs, gleaming ominously.

Seeing the cold glint of its legs, Qingming dared not block the strike. He dodged to the side, appearing behind the queen bee.

With a quick motion, he pulled out an explosive tag from his pouch and attached it to the queen bee's back before retreating to a safe distance.

Sensing danger, the queen bee went berserk, charging at Qingming wildly.

But with his Sharingan, Qingming saw through all its movements. In a few quick steps, he widened the gap between them.

The next second, a loud explosion rocked the air, and a fiery blast engulfed the queen bee.

A sharp wail echoed through the battlefield.

Seeing that the explosion had harmed the queen bee, Qingming wasted no time. He flung more shuriken, each attached with an explosive tag.

The shuriken struck the queen bee, and soon, more explosions followed. Balls of fire erupted one after another, and finally, the queen bee collapsed to the ground.

Still wary, Qingming formed the hand signs for the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, unleashing an enormous fireball onto the fallen queen bee.

This technique was far less flexible than Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique but much stronger, especially for concentrated attacks.

This time, Qingming didn't hold back. He poured a significant amount of chakra into the fireball, making it enormous. As it crashed into the queen bee, the resulting blast dwarfed even the earlier explosions.

When the flames died down, Qingming saw that the queen bee had stopped moving. Its entire body was charred black, and it was lifeless.

Just as Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed something was wrong. The surrounding bees were still holding formation, showing no signs of dispersing.

Something was off. Both Chifeng and the queen bee were dead. Without a leader, why were the bees still behaving so orderly?

Wait!

Chifeng?

"Is that guy really dead?"

A dreadful thought crossed Qingming's mind. He turned his gaze sharply toward the queen bee's abdomen, where cracks were beginning to form, as though something inside was trying to break free.
