Chapter 56 The storm is coming
base camp.

northwest.

Training Course.

Qing Ming held a short blade and fought with Mizutani Shizuko.

The sound of ding-dong continued to ring out. Mizutani Shizuko launched an attack with all her strength, but they were all blocked by Qing Ming one by one. The whole process was indescribably easy and carefree.

After a long time, Shizuko Mizutani finally stopped attacking.

It can be seen that sweat has already soaked her clothes, her hair is sticking to her face, and she looks visibly tired.

Despite this, her eyes still revealed an indescribable determination.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming could only sigh in his heart. The other party had transferred all his regrets into the desire for strength.

If this situation is not guided, problems will arise sooner or later.

But Qingming didn't want to persuade him.

As the saying goes, without madness, there is no life.

In this chaotic world, how can you survive if you don't push yourself harder?
Besides, it's better to focus on improving your strength than to feel sorry for yourself, isn't it?
After a short rest, Mizutani Shizuko raised the kunai in her hand again and said to Qingming: "Come again!"

Hearing this, Qing Ming said nothing more. He took a quick step and instantly came in front of him, using the Konoha Sword Technique smoothly.

This time it was Qing Ming who launched the attack, and Mizutani Shizuko was under even greater pressure.

In just a moment, she could no longer hold on, the kunai in her hand was knocked away, and Qingming's dagger was against her throat.

Drops of cold sweat slid down her forehead and Shizuko Mizutani swallowed unconsciously.

Although she knew Qing Ming would not kill her, she still couldn't help but shiver when the tip of the sword touched her throat.

Putting away the dagger, Qing Ming glanced at the sky, and after Mizutani Shizuko recovered, he said, "It's about time, let's stop here today."

"Ah."

Mizutani Shizuko nodded, bent down and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qingming!"

Hearing this, Qing Ming waved his hand and said nothing more.

Although he spent some time and energy as a sparring partner for Mizutani Shizuko, he was planning to use these energy in his 'Konoha Style Swordsmanship'.

Although the effect of sparring was not as good as when fighting with Furukawa, Furukawa is dead now, and having an opponent like Mizutani Shizuko is better than practicing alone.

Therefore, this is a mutually beneficial process, and Qingming does not think that Shizuko Mizutani needs to thank her for this.

But the other party always does this, so Qingming just lets it go.

······
A few minutes later.

The two returned to base camp.

As he was walking, a large group of people came towards him. The two sides passed each other. Qing Ming suddenly stopped and turned to look at those people.

Seeing this, Mizutani Shizuko asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think they look familiar?" Qing Ming asked.

Hearing this, Mizutani Shizuko glanced at the backs of those people, then turned around and asked in confusion: "This place is so small, isn't it normal to be familiar with them?"

"Do not."

Qing Ming shook his head with a serious look and said, "No, don't you realize that they are some of the people who took over our position in the town?"

"what?"

When Shizuko Mizutani heard this, she was shocked and hurriedly looked at those people again, but they had disappeared.

She looked at Qingming and asked in confusion: "Isn't it a monthly rotation? It's only been ten days, how come someone came back? Did something big happen there?"

Speaking of this, Shizuko Mizutani couldn't help but recall their previous experiences, and a deep fear and unspeakable pain flashed in her eyes.

Hearing her words, Qing Ming shook his head again and denied it: "Look at the condition of those people, there is no big problem, so the possibility of an accident at the base is very small."

"Then why did they come back early?"

Mizutani Shizuko spoke again.

Qing Ming thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Then, he changed his tone and said in a serious voice: "Anyway, be careful these days. My intuition tells me that something big is going to happen."

"Ah."

Hearing Qingming's instructions, Mizutani Shizuko nodded seriously.

Then, the two walked towards their respective tents.

······
Back in the tent, Qingming swallowed a few military pills and while recovering his strength, he recalled what had happened in the past few days.

First, there was an unreasonable full-line attack, and then some of the ninjas who were on rotation secretly returned. All of this gave Qingming a feeling that a storm was coming. What he said to Mizutani Shizuko just now was not nonsense, but he really felt that something big was going to happen.

Unfortunately, the position is too low and I can’t see the overall situation clearly.

Therefore, all Qing Ming can do is to improve his strength as much as possible.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel again.

The next moment, a light blue curtain of light appeared.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 11 years old

Constitution: 8
Spirit: 9
Chakra: 2250 (6100 → 6102)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Single Magatama (271/1000) → (317/1000)

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique: Level 2 (35/500)

火遁·凤仙火之术：lv3（12/1000）→lv3（226/1000）

Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique: Level 2 (17/500)

瞬身术：lv3（225/1000）→lv3（305/1000）

Shadow Clone Technique: Level 0 (5/100)

* Healing: Level 1 (15/200)

Magic·Jail Art: Level 2 (5/500)

映心之术：lv4（716/2000）→lv4（946/2000）

木叶流剑术：lv3（430/1000）→lv3（615/1000）

Ninja Tool Throwing: Level 4 (50/2000)

Chakra Control: Level 3 (190/1000)

Three Body Techniques: Level 3 (0/0)]

In the past few days, he has focused his main energy on practicing the 'Reflection of the Heart Technique', 'Konoha Style Sword Technique', and 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique'.

The impact of the 'Chakra Extraction Technique' being upgraded to level 4 has begun to show. In just a few days, his three skills have improved significantly.

Especially the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart', the proficiency increased by 230 points.

Thanks to this, the evolution degree of his Sharingan also increased by 46 points, and the progress increased from (271/1000) to (317/1000), and he is about to complete one-third of the process.

At this rate, in another four months, his Sharingan will be able to complete its evolution and become a double-magatama Sharingan.

And this is only the case when the level of the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' remains unchanged.

The fact is, in about a month and a half, his 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' will be advanced.

By then, its promoting effect on the Sharingan will inevitably become more obvious.

In this case, the Sharingan's evolution would definitely take less than four months.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His efforts were not in vain, and everything was going according to his expectations.

Retracting his gaze, Qing Ming turned his eyes to the new skill that appeared in the skill bar - healing.

This is a medical ninjutsu that he had just learned recently.

It was only after learning this technique that he understood why there were so few medical ninjas in the ninja world.

Not to mention the theoretical knowledge that needs to be memorized, medical ninjutsu itself is very difficult.

Just like this 'healing technique', although it is only a relatively basic medical ninjutsu, the learning difficulty still reaches C level.

In addition, practicing this technique requires extremely precise control of chakra, otherwise you can only learn the basics.

These major conditions directly limit the number of medical ninjas.

Qingming's 'Chakra Control' has already reached level 3, and he has the assistance of the proficiency panel 'No pain, no gain'.

This is how you can get started in just a few days.

If someone else comes, they may not be able to learn it in a few days, let alone dozens of days.

At this point, Qing Ming has fulfilled his wish when he first arrived at the front battlefield, and is one step closer to becoming the hexagonal warrior he is aiming for.
