"Zizi~, Qingming, prepare to intercept, it's coming to your side."
Ryosuke's voice came from the headset.
Qingming pressed the headset and replied: "OK, I saw it."
On the tree branch.
Qingming looked at the giant wild boar rushing towards him and threw a kunai.
The kunai cut through the air like a bullet, quickly and accurately hitting the wild boar's left eye.
Blood fell along the kunai, causing the wild boar to roar in pain.
Roar -
I have to say, these animals in the ninja world are really outrageous. Not to mention their large size, their vitality is also extremely tenacious.
Just like now, even if the eyes were pierced and the brain was injured, the wild boar below is still alive and kicking.
"But, that's it."
With a mutter, Qingming raised his right hand and ignited the detonating tag tied to the kunai.
Boom -
a violent explosion sounded.
A ball of red flame suddenly appeared, covering the entire wild boar.
The pain from the burning flames made the wild boar wail non-stop, and it rammed the surrounding trees crazily, even hitting the big tree where Qingming was hiding.
Qingming had no choice but to change his hiding place.
After a few breaths, the flames gradually disappeared, and the wild boar was no longer crazy, lying directly on the ground, motionless.
Looking at the charred wild boar, Qingming did not approach, but took out a kunai again, threw it like lightning, and hit the wild boar's other eye. The sound of a
sharp
blade entering the flesh rang out.
The wild boar stood up suddenly, wailing and breaking several big trees, and fell to the ground again.
Looking at the wild boar's chest and abdomen that gradually stopped rising and falling, Qingming snorted coldly: "Humph! A beast is a beast, no matter how cunning it is, it is just like this."
Although the other party knew to play dead, the chest that kept rising and falling before easily exposed its tricks.
Qingming naturally could not fall into such a trap.
However, now it
can be confirmed that the other party is dead.
Swish~swish~
two figures appeared, it was Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.
"Qingming, you are too wasteful."
Ryosuke looked at the wild boar's head that was charred by the detonating talisman and said, "Don't you know the Great Fireball Technique? Why do you need a detonating talisman?"
Indeed, it is not cost-effective to use a detonating talisman to kill such a wild boar. Even if there is a mission reward, it will be a loss when the accounts are settled in the end.
But this can save chakra.
Although the fire escape, the Great Fireball Technique can also increase his proficiency, his current focus is not on this, so every bit saved is a bit.
For Qingming, if spending a little money can allow more chakra to be used where it should be used, it is not a loss.
At this time, a week has passed since he met Kakashi and others.
During this week, except for eating, sleeping, and doing tasks, he spent the rest of his time on training.
With such hard work, the results are naturally not bad.
First of all, he has practiced all three body techniques to perfection, that is, level 3.
At this time, whether it is the simplest "transformation technique" or the most difficult "substitute technique", he can complete it in one second.
What is the concept?
Many Chunins are not as skilled as him in performing these three ninjutsu.
Of course, that's all.
After all, it's a basic ninjutsu, and the learning difficulty is only E-level. As long as Chunins put in some effort, it's not too difficult to practice to perfection.
Secondly, his 'basic taijutsu' has also been upgraded from lv2 to lv3.
Originally, he was expecting that it could improve his physique a little bit more like lv1 to lv2.
In this way, his chakra limit can continue to increase.
But he was disappointed.
'Basic taijutsu' has been upgraded from lv2 to lv3, and even though it has reached the perfect state like the three body techniques, it can't make any changes to his physical attributes.
However, think about it, if the physical attributes can be improved so easily, there won't be so many ninjas in the ninja world who will be ninjas all their lives.
You know, every improvement in physical fitness is a transformation for ninjas. As long as he transforms once or twice at the Genin stage, he can become a Chunin, but at least he will have enough chakra.
Therefore, it is normal that his physical attributes did not increase when the 'Basic Taijutsu' level 2 was upgraded to level 3. At least he needs some advanced Taijutsu to make it possible.
The last one is the 'Reflection of the Heart Technique'.
In seven days, his proficiency increased by a total of 125 points, and the level changed from level 2 (260/500) to level 2 (385/500).
Thanks to this, his Sharingan awakening progress increased from (85/100) to (87/100).
As expected, the speed did not decrease further.
Now he just needs to wait for the 'Reflection of the Heart Technique' to be upgraded to level 3. If the effect is good, he may be able to awaken the Sharingan before the end of the Chunin exam.
Otherwise, he will have to go to the battlefield with his naked eyes
. Yes, Qingming has received news that their graduates will return to the battlefield with the new Chunin.
It is for this reason that he attaches great importance to every bit of chakra.
Even the plan to learn the instant body technique was temporarily put on hold.
Next, apart from the necessary consumption, he planned to use all the remaining chakra to practice the "Reflection of the Heart Technique".
Without the Sharingan as a trump card, he really didn't feel much safe.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Qingming looked at Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko and said, "There are many beasts in this forest. Our task is very heavy. It's okay to waste a few detonating tags."
The task they received this time was to drive away all the beasts within a radius of ten kilometers. The task required that the number of kills must not be less than one-third of the total.
If so many beasts were driven away or killed by conventional methods, a lot of chakra would be consumed, and the task time would also be extended.
Qingming didn't want to waste time and energy here, so he would rather spend a little more money to complete the task as soon as possible.
Without giving Ryosuke a chance to speak again, Qingming pulled out his kunai from the wild boar, wiped it, and said, "I'm going to area 2. You guys hurry up and drive the beasts over."
After that, he jumped away without caring about the two's reaction.
Watching his back as he left, Ryosuke turned back to Mizutani Shizuko and said, "Shizuko, have you felt that Qingming has been a little impatient recently?"
"Yeah."
Mizutani Shizuko nodded when she heard this.
In fact, she had already noticed this, but she just didn't say it out loud.
"Then do you know why?"
Ryosuke asked curiously.
"Maybe it's because of the Chunin Exam!"
Mizutani Shizuko replied.
"Chunin Exam?"
Ryosuke asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What does this have to do with us? We're not participating?"
Hearing this, Mizutani Shizuko hesitated for a while, carefully glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she told the news she got from her father, a jonin.
"I heard that the village plans to let us go to the battlefield with those newly promoted Chunins after the Chunin Exam."
"What?"
Ryosuke screamed in surprise when he heard this news suddenly.
Although he hated to carry out D-level missions that did not require any technical skills, he also knew the dangers of the battlefield, so he naturally didn't want to go to the battlefield so quickly.
"Shh!"
Shizuko Mizutani raised her right index finger, made a silencing gesture, and said, "Keep your voice down. My father won't let me tell this news to anyone, so don't spread it."
"Oh."
Ryosuke reacted, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
In fact, they were worrying too much. It didn't matter even if it got out.
Because this matter is already a done deal.
Although the news is still only circulated among the senior ninjas and major families, it won't be long before everyone knows it. There is no need to keep it secret at all.
"Okay, Ryosuke, let's go."
The two were silent for a while, and it was Shizuko Mizutani who spoke.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Ryosuke came back to his senses, responded, and said, "Let's go."
Then, the two rushed to Area 3 together.
