Chapter 80 Imaginary Enemy

"In the second match, Uchiha Qingming wins!"

Hearing the examiner's words, Qing Ming put down the kunai in his hand, took two steps back, put some distance between them, and then turned and walked towards the stairs.

During this time, without saying a word, two words stood out - aloof.

It's not that Qing Ming was pretending, but this attitude could effectively keep away those who wanted to get close to him.

In this way, he can do his own thing with peace of mind.

After Qingming walked into the stairs, everyone in the room seemed to react and started whispering to each other.

Even if Qing Ming didn't listen carefully, he could still hear some words of admiration such as "How can he be so powerful?" and "This is too fast."

Indeed, the battle ended too quickly.

From the time the two men confronted each other to the time Takakura Shota admitted defeat, it took less than two minutes, and the actual fighting time was only a dozen seconds.

This is really unbelievable for those candidates whose cognition is still at the Genin to Chunin stage.

But for the jonin who were watching the battle, the situation was clearer.

This battle seemed to last very short and Qing Ming won very easily, but what was demonstrated was a complete crushing of combat experience and skills.

In this way, coupled with the skilled use of the Sharingan, it is not surprising to end the battle in an instant.

Despite this, some of the jonin were still shocked by Qingming's strength.

Among them was Uchiha Haruto.

At this moment, he realized that he and some senior members of the clan had focused too much attention on Uchiha Shisui over the past period of time, but had ignored the genius Uchiha Qingming.

Admittedly, Uchiha Qingming's potential may not be as good as Uchiha Shisui, but it definitely exceeds most Uchiha ninjas.

"It seems that after this incident, the Great Elder will have to pay more attention to this Uchiha Qingming."

Uchiha Jito thought so in his heart.

······
At the same time, the third fight has begun.

This time, two female candidates came up, one of whom Qing Ming recognized. She was Aoki Akako from Nara Narihira's team, the one he had kicked away before.

The opponent's strength may not be worth mentioning in front of him, but compared with his current opponent, he still has some remarkable aspects.

At least, in terms of physical skills, her ability is slightly stronger than her opponent.

And in the end, she relied on this point to narrowly defeat her opponent.

"In the third match, Aoki Hongzi wins!"

The examiner's voice sounded at the right time.

"Hongzi, well done!"

On the second floor corridor, Sato Masaru's congratulations followed closely behind.

After the two left the stage, the examiner immediately drew out the candidates for the fourth match.

In this way, time passed little by little, and battles were carried out one after another.

It was not until the penultimate game that Uchiha Shisui's name was called.

And his opponent is Nara Narihei, who had dealt with Qingming before.

Arriving at the center of the field, looking at Uchiha Shisui with double magatama Sharingan in front of him, Nara Narihei felt speechless.

What a sin he had committed. He just met Uchiha Qingming in the second exam, and now he meets Uchiha Shisui again.

Although if you want to compete for a good ranking, you will inevitably meet these two, but.
'Why the first round?'

This left him with no chance to prepare. If the Nara clan's clever brains were to be effective, they would have to rely on intelligence to support them.

Otherwise, if you are in the dark, even the smartest brain will be useless.

Just like now, facing Uchiha Shisui, he didn't know any other information except that the other party had a pair of Sharingan like Uchiha Aomei.

Oh, by the way, the other person is carrying a sword on his back, so he might be good at swordsmanship.

But what's the point of just knowing this? Combat experience, combat skills, shooting habits, etc., all of these are unknown, how can he win?
"Well, for now we can only take it one step at a time," Nara Narihei felt melancholy, the battle had already begun.

In the corridor on the second floor.

Qingming watched their fight with a slight flicker in his eyes.

Not to mention Nara Narihei, he relies entirely on his brain in battle. Although he doesn't know much about Uchiha Shisui, he has a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Relying on the family-inherited 'Shadow Secret Art' and his excellent close combat skills, he was able to hold on for a while.

Unfortunately, that's all.

Once Uchiha Shisui gets serious, Nara Narihira will probably not be able to withstand it.

That’s right, Qingming has already seen that from the beginning of the battle until now, Uchiha Shisui has not used his full strength.

At the very least, he did not use any Sharingan illusions or ninjutsu, and he was fighting the enemy with swordsmanship the entire time.

This doesn't mean that Uchiha Shisui is deliberately letting up. The other party is doing this just to test the limit of Nara Narihei's ability.

Once this is confirmed, defeating the opponent will only take a moment.

Just like how he dealt with Takakura Shota not long ago.

The difference is that Takakura Shota's strength can be seen at a glance and does not need to be tested.

But it is not possible for Nara Narihei, so he must make some tests first.

If you rush in without thinking, you will probably end up losing more than you gain.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui was still cautious.

However, Qingming estimated that the opponent was about to launch a real attack.

As for the reason
It's very simple. Nara Narihei's strength has basically been figured out. If we continue, it will not only be a waste of time, but there is also the possibility of changes.

After all, the Nara clan ninjas are all smart, and if they are given some more time, they might be able to find a way to win.

Therefore, it is better to make a quick decision next.

As expected, things developed pretty much as Qing Ming had expected. Not long after, Uchiha Shisui showed his true strength.

Sharingan illusions and ninjutsu came out at the same time.

In a flash, he forced Nara Narihei into a desperate situation, and finally Uchiha Shisui put a sword to his throat, forcing him to admit defeat.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming murmured, "Uchiha style swordsmanship, the level is about the beginning level 3."

That's right, Uchiha Shisui used the 'Uchiha style swordsmanship' inherited by the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, from his battle with Nara Narihei, Qingming has deduced his level - lv3, which is a full level lower than his "Uchiha Style Swordsmanship".

And he also has a higher level of proficiency in the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship'.

With the cooperation of the two, there is absolutely no problem for them to defeat Uchiha Shisui in close combat.

As for long-range attacks, Qingming recalled the fire-style ninjutsu that the other party had just performed. If this was his true level, then there would not be any problem.

The only thing that deserves vigilance is the opponent's level of illusion. They both have dual magatama Sharingan, so is there any difference between them?
This is not to say that Qingming must treat Uchiha Shisui as an imaginary enemy, but after watching this round of fighting, he believes that only the two of them can make it to the end.

Therefore, a fight is inevitable.

While Qingming was observing Uchiha Shisui, the other party also looked over as if he had sensed something. Their eyes met in the air, and both saw the fighting intent in each other.

During the eight or nine months that I have been traveling through this world, I have been practicing hard.

Now, I finally meet a person of my generation whose name I remember, and I can have a fight with him legitimately.

Even Qing Ming couldn't help but compare.

For no other reason than to prove that his efforts were not in vain.

It is for this reason that Qingming has such a strong desire to fight.
