Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Crack... crack...

Hearing the faint cracking sound, Qingming didn't hesitate. He quickly pulled out a kunai from his pouch, tied an explosive tag to it, and threw it over. However, before the kunai could even get close, something inside seemed to sense danger and burst through the abdomen of the bee king, flying into the sky at an incredible speed.

Boom!

The explosive tag detonated, but it didn't cause any damage to the unknown entity.

Thanks to his Sharingan's superior clarity, Qingming could clearly see what it was — it was none other than Chifeng.

But Chifeng now looked more like a bee than a human, standing upright with bulging eyes, hunched body, and limbs twisted at bizarre angles. A pair of transparent wings was buzzing slightly from his shoulder blades.

If it weren't for a few remaining traces of his human appearance, Qingming might have thought it was Bee King 2.0.

It was at this moment that Qingming finally understood why Chifeng had always resembled a bee to him. Clearly, the secret technique Chifeng had just used had severe side effects, likely transforming the user into something resembling a bee.

This probably also explained Chifeng's easily agitated and irritable personality. As a special Jonin, no matter how deep his grudge with the Aburame clan, he should not have lost his composure with just a few taunts from Qingming.

The truth was that the Insect Fusion Technique had many flaws from the start. While it granted the user a portion of the Bee King's abilities, it also progressively transformed the user's body into that of a bee, both in appearance and mentality. The longer one used it, the more profound the transformation.

Even within the Shenhe Clan, this technique was considered forbidden, only used in the most desperate situations.

But there was no denying its effectiveness.

Like now, Chifeng had sprouted wings and taken to the sky, leaving Qingming without an effective means to counter him. Furthermore, the life-threatening injury on Chifeng's chest had completely healed.

Combined, this essentially gave Chifeng a second life and a chance to turn the tables.

However, Qingming's sharp gaze remained fixed on Chifeng. He noticed something off about him, as if Chifeng had lost a bit of his human vitality.

Qingming's observation was correct.

This brings up another flaw of the Insect Fusion Technique: the weaker the user's mental fortitude, the more they are influenced by the Bee King after the fusion.

Before casting the technique, Chifeng had been gravely injured, and his mental state was at rock bottom. After the fusion, the Bee King's influence was enormous.

Now, it wasn't so much Chifeng controlling his own body as it was the Bee King.

Even if they were to kill Qingming, the Bee King wouldn't end the Insect Fusion Technique. Over time, it would fully transform into the new Bee King and take full control of the body.

This was why Chifeng had been hesitant for so long before using the technique.

His appearance made it clear that he had used the technique many times before, so he was well aware of its risks and the consequences of casting it in his weakened state.

Unfortunately, the dire situation had forced him to gamble, and it seemed he had lost.

But for Qingming, this was actually good news.

It was much easier to deal with the Bee King than with Chifeng. Even though the Bee King had absorbed part of Chifeng's memories, it couldn't fully inherit his battle experience.

As a result, Qingming figured he wouldn't have to put in too much effort to bring this to an end.

With that in mind, Qingming glanced at the surrounding bees, now growing restless, and launched his attack first.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several shurikens flew through the air, heading straight for "Chifeng."

With his level 4 "Ninja Tool Throwing" and the precision afforded by his Sharingan, Qingming's shuriken were particularly threatening.

This was especially the case because "Chifeng" hadn't gained the Bee King's hard, iron-like carapace.

If that were the case, even dozens of shurikens wouldn't have broken through his defenses, no matter how accurate they were.

Thankfully, that scenario hadn't come to pass.

Sensing the danger, "Chifeng" swiftly flapped his wings and dodged half a meter sideways, easily avoiding the attack.

Seeing this, Qingming's lips twitched, realizing that using throwing tools to kill him wasn't going to work, leaving him with only one option.

Swish, swish, swish!

A dense rain of bee stingers interrupted Qingming's thoughts, forcing him to evade.

Fortunately, there were plenty of trees in the forest, and with the help of his Sharingan, Qingming was able to avoid the barrage of stingers — something that would be nearly impossible for most.

Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

Qingming wasn't one to just take hits. After dodging the first wave, he seized an opportunity and counterattacked.

The enhancement of his Sharingan made his ninjutsu even more accurate, and soon, bees were raining down from the sky like leaves in autumn.

"Chifeng" was undeterred and continued to control the bee swarm, launching counterattacks.

Both sides exchanged blows in rapid succession, drawing quite a bit of attention from others nearby.

Fortunately, the fight had stretched out over a long distance, and the bees created a thick screen, preventing Qingming's Sharingan from being exposed.

From the perspective of onlookers, all they saw was a massive swarm of bees frantically flying around a patch of forest, with no clue as to what was happening inside.

Time passed, second by second.

Finally, when the bee swarm had dwindled to about two-thirds of its original size, Qingming found an opportunity.

Eyeing "Chifeng" at the top of a tree, Qingming's eyes gleamed, and during the next round of defense and counterattack, he deliberately misstepped, landing in a patch of sticky honey.

Noticing this, "Chifeng"'s eyes lit up, and he immediately sent more bees to fire stingers at Qingming while spewing more honey, intending to trap him.

At the last second, Qingming activated the Substitution Jutsu, leaving only a wooden log in his place.

Seeing this, "Chifeng"'s twisted face showed a hint of disappointment, and he started looking around for Qingming.

At that moment, a voice called from the tree next to him, "Hey, over here!"

Without the caution of his original self, "Chifeng" instinctively turned towards the sound, only to be met with a pair of blood-red Sharingan.

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!

Yes, this was the moment Qingming had been waiting for.

Since "Chifeng" had been flying in the air the whole time, Qingming hadn't been able to get close. After waiting for so long, he finally created the perfect opening.

First, he pretended to make a mistake, luring "Chifeng" into lowering his guard. Then, by using the Substitution Jutsu, he diverted his attention and closed the distance. Finally, he hit him with the Shackling Stakes Technique to secure the win.

As "Chifeng" plummeted towards the ground, Qingming dashed forward in midair, slashing his short sword, instantly severing his throat.

Still not feeling at ease, Qingming threw another kunai, piercing "Chifeng"'s heart.

Sensing the rapid decline in his opponent's life force, Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As he had expected, dealing with a Bee King-dominated "Chifeng" didn't require too much effort once he found the right opportunity.
