Chapter 26 News
"Zizi~, Qingming, prepare to intercept, it's coming to your side."

Ryosuke's voice came from the headphones.

Qingming pressed the headset and replied: "OK, I saw it."

On a tree branch.

Qingming looked at the giant wild boar charging towards him and threw a kunai.

The kunai flew through the air like a bullet, hitting the wild boar's left eye quickly and accurately.

Blood dripped down 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 only are they huge in size, but they also have extremely tenacious vitality.

Just like now, even though its eyes were pierced and its brain was injured, the wild boar below was still alive and kicking.

"But that's it."

With a mutter, Qing Ming 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, enveloping the entire wild boar.

The pain caused by the burning flames made the wild boar wail incessantly, and it rammed the surrounding trees frantically, even the big tree where Qingming was hiding was hit.

As a last resort, Qing Ming could only change his hiding place.

After a few breaths, the flames gradually disappeared, and the wild boar was no longer crazy. It just lay on the ground, motionless.

Looking at the charred wild boar, Qing Ming did not approach it, but took out another kunai and threw it out like lightning, hitting the wild boar's other eye.

puff~
The sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh was heard.

The wild boar stood up suddenly, howled, crashed into several large trees, and fell to the ground again.

Looking at the wild boar's chest and abdomen gradually stopping rising and falling, Qing Ming snorted coldly: "Humph! A beast is a beast, no matter how cunning it is, it is no more than this."

Although the opponent knew he was playing dead, his chest rising and falling easily exposed his trick.

Qingming naturally couldn't fall into such a trap.

But now
You can be sure that the other party has hung up.

Brush~swipe~
Two figures appeared, they were Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.

"Qingming, this is such a waste."

Ryosuke looked at the wild boar's head that was charred by the Exploding Talisman and said, "Don't you know the Great Fireball Technique? Why do you need to use the Exploding 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, you will still lose money when the bill is settled in the end.

But this saves chakra.

Although performing Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu can also increase his proficiency, his current focus is not on this, so the more money he can save, the better.

For Qing Ming, it is not a loss if he can spend a little money to use more chakra where it is needed.

At this time, a week had passed since he met Kakashi and others.

During this week, apart from eating, sleeping and completing tasks, he spent the rest of his time practicing.

With such hard work, the results achieved are naturally not bad.

First of all, he has practiced the three body techniques to perfection, which is level 3.

At this moment, no matter whether it was the simplest "transformation technique" or the most difficult "substitution technique", he could complete it within one second.

what is this concept?

Many Chunins are not as proficient as him in performing these three ninjutsu.

Of course, that's all.

After all, it is a basic ninjutsu, and the learning difficulty is only E-level. As long as a Chunin puts in some effort, it is not too difficult to practice it to perfection.

Secondly, his 'basic physical skills' were also upgraded from lv2 to lv3.

Originally, he was expecting that it could improve his physical fitness a little bit more like the upgrade from lv1 to lv2.

In this way, his chakra limit can continue to increase.

But he was disappointed.

'Basic physical skills' were upgraded from lv2 to lv3, and even though they had reached perfection like the Three Body Skills, they could not bring about any changes to his physical attributes.

However, think about it, if physical attributes can be improved so easily, there wouldn't be so many ninjas in the ninja world who would spend their entire lives as Genin.

You know, every improvement in physical fitness is a transformation for a ninja. As long as you transform once or twice at the Genin stage, you can become a Chunin, but at least you will definitely have enough chakra.

Therefore, it is normal that his physical attributes did not increase when the 'Basic Physical Skills' level 2 was upgraded to level 3. At least some advanced physical skills would be needed to make it possible.

The last one is the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".
七天时间，其熟练度一共增加了125点，等级从lv2（260/500）变成了lv2（385/500）。

Thanks to this, his Sharingan awakening progress increased from (85/100) to (87/100).

Not surprisingly, there was no further reduction in speed.

Now he just had to wait for the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique' to be upgraded to level 3. If the effect was good, maybe he could awaken the Sharingan before the end of the Chunin Exam.

Otherwise, he will have to go to the battlefield naked.
That’s right, Qingming has already received the news that their graduating class will return to the battlefield with the newly promoted Chunins.

That is why he attaches great importance to every bit of chakra.

Even the plan to learn the technique of teleportation was put on hold.

Next, apart from the necessary consumption, he planned to use all the remaining chakra to practice the "Heart-Reflecting Technique".

Without the Sharingan as a trump card, he really didn't feel safe.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Qing Ming looked at Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko and said, "There are many wild beasts in this forest. Our mission is heavy. It's okay to waste a few detonating talismans."

The mission they received this time was to drive away all the wild beasts within a radius of ten kilometers, and the mission required that the number of kills must not be less than one third of the total number.

If so many beasts were to be driven away or killed using conventional methods, it would consume a lot of chakra and would also prolong the mission time.

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 number two. You guys hurry up and drive the wild animals over."

After saying this, he left without caring about their reactions.

Watching his leaving figure, Ryosuke turned back to Mizutani Shizuko and said, "Shizuko, do you feel that Qingming has been a little impatient recently?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Shizuko Mizutani nodded.

In fact, she had already discovered 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 Exams!"

Mizutani Shizuko replied.

"Chunin exam?"

Ryosuke looked confused and asked, "What does this have to do with us? We're not participating."

Upon hearing this, Mizutani Shizuko hesitated for a moment, carefully glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she told the news she had received from her father, the Jonin.

"I heard that the village plans to let our group go to the battlefield with those new Chunin after the Chunin Exam."

"what?"

When he suddenly heard the news, Ryosuke screamed in surprise.

Although he hated carrying out D-level missions that did not require any technical skills, he was also aware of the dangers of the battlefield and naturally did not want to go to the battlefield so quickly.

"Shh!"

Mizutani Shizuko raised her right index finger, made a silencing gesture, and said, "Keep your voice down. My father won't let me tell anyone about this news. Don't spread it around."

"profound."

Ryosuke reacted, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

In fact, they were worrying too much. It wouldn'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 will not be long before everyone knows it, and there is no need to keep it secret.

"Okay, Ryosuke, let's go."

The two were silent for a while, and it was Mizutani Shizuko who spoke.

"profound."

Hearing this, Ryosuke came back to his senses, responded, and said, "Let's go."

Afterwards, the two rushed to area number three together.
