Capítulo 50: Chapter 50: Orders
"Ah!"
A short, sharp scream rang out.
Qingming expressionlessly withdrew his short sword from the chest of the Iwa-ninja in front of him, completing the final finishing blow.
Standing up, he scanned his surroundings and saw that many Konoha ninjas were doing the same.
On the ground nearby lay numerous corpses of ninjas from both sides.
Today marked the twentieth day since his physical attribute breakthrough and also the last day for this group to carry out their guard duty.
However, about twenty kilometers away, the Iwa-ninja, who had been in a standoff with them, seemingly did not intend to let them leave peacefully and launched an attack today.
Fortunately, they held the advantage of home ground and were able to repel the invading enemies, though it came at a certain cost.
As for why they suddenly launched an attack, Qingming did not want to ponder. After all, he would be returning tomorrow, so no matter what the opponent had in mind, it was no longer his concern.
After finishing the cleanup of the battlefield, Qingming and the other Konoha ninjas returned to the town outpost.
As soon as they got back, Furukawa was called to a meeting.
Seeing this, a vague sense of unease stirred within Qingming.
His instincts proved correct.
In less than half an hour, Furukawa returned with some very bad news.
That was, tonight—more precisely, in three hours—they would be divided into four teams to launch an attack on the Iwa-ninja outpost twenty kilometers away.
This order was issued directly by the headquarters and allowed no refusal.
Moreover, they were not the only outpost receiving this order; almost all the front-line outposts in confrontation with Iwa had received the same command.
In other words, it was a full-scale assault.
'Is this Orochimaru's revenge? Isn't that a bit childish?!'
'This would just lead to mutual destruction, what's the point? Konoha doesn't have an advantage in numbers on the battlefield in the Land of Rain; this exchange is completely meaningless.'
Qingming felt a deep sense of confusion.
At the same time, he sensed a thick malice; clearly, he could leave tomorrow, yet suddenly this order came.
If it weren't for the fact that the command targeted all outposts confronting Iwa, Qingming would have suspected he or this outpost was being deliberately targeted.
'Forget it, there are no mandatory objectives for this mission; I'll just slack off when the time comes.'
With this thought in mind, Qingming opened his proficiency panel.
Before his eyes, a light blue screen quietly appeared:
Name: Uchiha Qingming
Age: 11 years old
Physical: 7→8
Mental: 9
Chakra: 3450 (5027→6100)
Bloodline: Sharingan · One Tomoe (160/1000)→(271/1000)

Initially, Qingming was worried that he wouldn't have time to train after arriving at the front line outpost. Who would have thought that the Iwa-ninja would be unexpectedly calm?
This provided him with a relatively stable training environment.
As a result, over the past month, the skills he had focused on had seen significant improvements.
First, the chakra. Twenty days ago, his physical attribute had unexpectedly broken through, and his bodily shackles had been released, leading to a rise in his chakra limits.
It took almost half a month for his chakra to increase from 5027 points to 6100 points.
However, after that, it plateaued.
After all, the increase in his physical attributes was limited, which only allowed for so much growth in his chakra.
On the other hand, his "Chakra Refinement Technique" made slightly faster progress; in just over a month, it had reached lv3 (986/1000).
As long as he survived tonight, it wouldn't take more than two days after returning to the headquarters for him to elevate it to lv4.
At that point, whether it was boosting other skills' proficiency or increasing the evolution speed of his Sharingan, everything would move to the fast lane.
Speaking of other skills, it was evident that during the past twenty days, his proficiency in the "Leaf Village Sword Technique" had risen significantly, with lv3's progress nearly halfway completed.
According to Furukawa, his swordsmanship had already reached a level comparable to that of some jōnin.
Even Furukawa himself could only manage a tie with Qingming if they fought in close combat.
In fact, if the battle dragged on, Qingming might even have a chance of winning.
As a side note, Furukawa was no longer the "One-Armed Hero." Orochimaru had given him a new arm.
Although it wasn't his original arm, at least he could perform hand signs.
It was from that moment Qingming learned that Furukawa was actually one of Orochimaru's people.
By rounding it up, he was somewhat part of Orochimaru's faction.
Every time he thought about this, Qingming felt a bit irritated.
Putting aside how obsessed Orochimaru would become with the Sharingan in the future, the trouble that would arise once he defected would be a hassle.
However, Qingming only thought about it briefly before dismissing it.
With the proficiency panel assisting him, if he still didn't have the ability to confront Orochimaru by then, then whatever consequences he faced would be well deserved.
As for the village's reckoning… When the time comes, he wouldn't even oppose Konoha, which would already be a concession to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Did they really think he had a good temper?
Retracting his thoughts, Qingming focused on the "Ninja Tool Throwing."
Thanks to the assistance of the Sharingan, its proficiency had already broken through lv3, reaching lv4 (2/2000).
At this point, he could make full use of kunai and shuriken, performing tricks with them when assisted by the Sharingan.
Unfortunately, being flying projectiles, it was still difficult to kill enemies directly unless they were significantly weaker.
However, it served as an excellent auxiliary means.
Additionally, lv4 was still not the limit of the "Ninja Tool Throwing" skill; it was just that accumulating proficiency now had become slower.
Aside from these skills, the skills that had seen the most progress in the past month were "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique," "Illusion Technique: Restraining Technique," and "Body Flicker Technique."
The former had unexpectedly broken through lv2, reaching lv3 (12/1000).
At this point, when he used this technique, not only was it faster, but the control was also much more precise.
If he were to face Shirakikuradō again, Qingming was confident he could suppress him for a considerable amount of time without using his Sharingan.
Of course, to achieve what he did before—forcing the opponent to retaliate—he would still need the Sharingan to predict the enemy's movements.
Moreover, he tried to enhance the "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique" first and then practice "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" and "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique." It indeed sped up the process.
However, his chakra was limited for now, and he didn't plan to waste time on those two techniques.
He decided that once he had raised "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique" to lv4 or even lv5, he would go back to practice the other two; the speed would increase significantly.
Moreover, with the "Leaf Village Sword Technique," his demand for ninjutsu had greatly diminished; for the time being, having "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique" was sufficient.
Not to mention, he also had the assistance of the "Illusion Technique: Restraining Technique" and the "Body Flicker Technique."
Under Qingming's careful attention, both of these skills had risen a level.
"Illusion Technique: Restraining Technique" had advanced to lv2, with faster activation speed and stronger control effects on enemies.
"Body Flicker Technique" had reached lv3, increasing his movement speed by about twenty percent when activated, making both escaping and surprise attacks more effective.
Thanks to these skill improvements, Qingming had little resistance to launching an attack on the Iwa outpost; otherwise, if he couldn't even keep his life, he wouldn't care about anything else.
Ultimately, strength was the foundation of everything.
Without strength, even the smallest wave could crush you, but with strength, even a tsunami could strike, and he could remain unfazed.
