Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

After staring at each other for a moment, Qingming retracted his gaze, suppressed his inner restlessness, and began to quietly wait for the end of the first round of the competition.

A few minutes later, the fourteenth match of the first round ended.

The fourteen winners were randomly assigned again and started the second round of competition.

I don’t know whether it was luck or whether Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to save the most exciting battle for the end.

In short, in this second round of competition, Qingming and Uchiha Shisui still did not meet.

And they easily defeated their opponents without any surprises.

At this time, anyone with a little bit of vision can see that Qingming and Uchiha Shisui are much stronger than others.

The final first place will only be between the two of them.

Fortunately, the promotion of Chunin is based on the comprehensive performance of the three exams, not just the ranking of this competition.

Otherwise, the other candidates are probably already playing passively.

·······

Time passed by minute by minute.

An hour and a half later.

The second round of the third competition ended.

The seven winners were divided into groups again, but because it was an odd number, one person would be given a bye.

Qingming had no hope for his luck, but he never thought that he would be given a bye this time.

However, after learning the news, he was only stunned for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

The reason why he was so calm was naturally because he had enough confidence in his own strength.

Qingming believed that whether he was given a bye this time or not would not affect his promotion.

Therefore, he did not care much about such a result.

On the contrary, the other few people looked at Qingming with a little more envy.

Unfortunately, no matter what they thought, the exam had to continue.

The fight came to the third round, and the remaining candidates were all quite strong, so the duration of each battle was a little longer.

It took nearly an hour in total for all three battles to end.

There was still no time to rest, and the fourth round of the fight began to draw lots.

There was no surprise, he and Uchiha Shisui still did not meet, but each faced a candidate.

His opponent was a 13-year-old boy named Amano Kai, who had excellent melee combat ability and could perform the Lightning Release Ninjutsu. His overall combat power was not weak.

But it was just not weak.

It was okay against other people, but it was not good enough against Qingming.

Moreover, Qingming had seen the opponent's ability clearly when he was watching the battle.

Now, when they fought, it was like an open-book exam, which was too easy.

His excellent melee combat ability was not worth mentioning under his level 4 "Konoha Style Swordsmanship".

As for the Lightning Release,

he didn't even have a chance to perform it.

Finally, Qingming took advantage of his upset and deliberately revealed a flaw to lure Amano Kai to counterattack.

The opponent was fooled, and Qingming immediately seized the opportunity and ended the battle with a "Genjutsu·Sharingan".

When Amano Kai came to his senses, the examiner was already standing in front of him, blocking the flying kunai for him and announcing that Qingming had won.

After finishing this battle that barely counted as a warm-up, Qingming returned to the corridor on the second floor, leaned against the railing, and quietly waited for the final battle.

He didn't have to wait long. Just a few minutes later, Uchiha Shisui ended the battle with another candidate.

At this time, the examiner's voice came: "The last game, Uchiha Qingming vs. Uchiha Shisui!"

Hearing this, all the eliminated candidates on the corridor on the second floor showed excitement.

Now everyone knows that Uchiha Qingming and Uchiha Shisui are the strongest in this Chunin Exam, so who will win and who will lose when the two face off?

The candidates want to know the answer, and the jonins also want to know.

Therefore, not only the candidates are very excited, but the jonins also show interest.

As for Uchiha Haruto, he was even more excited and happy.

The first place in the Chunin Exam will be decided between two Uchiha ninjas. Doesn't this just show the strength of Uchiha?

Affected by the surrounding atmosphere, Qingming simply didn't take the stairs. He put his right hand on the railing and flipped out.

After landing, he bent his knees to avoid the impact of falling from a high altitude, and stood steadily in front of Uchiha Shisui.

The examiner looked around at the two and asked, "Are you ready?"

Qingming didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked lightly, "Do you want to take a break?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui was a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Qingming would say such a thing.

According to his observation of Qingming these days, the other party should not be a person who likes to talk nonsense.

This is not that Qingming is arrogant and asked the other party to take a break, but this fight is not a life-and-death fight after all, and there is no need to take advantage of others.

So, he asked this question.

Otherwise, if it was a life-and-death fight, he would have wanted to do it immediately.

Rest?

That's a dream!

However, Uchiha Shisui did not continue to follow Qingming's words, but shook his head and said, "No need."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the examiner did not waste time, and immediately waved his right hand downwards, retreating violently, and shouted softly: "Begin!"

The next moment, a "ding" sound was heard.

It turned out that at the moment the examiner's voice fell, Qingming and Uchiha Shisui drew their daggers at the same time, and then rushed forward together, and the daggers collided fiercely.

Qingming held the hilt of the sword with both hands and kept exerting force. Uchiha Shisui also held the sword with both hands and tried his best to resist.

But Qingming was two years older after all, and his "physique" had been improved several times, so he was slightly stronger than Uchiha Shisui in terms of strength.

So, after a stalemate, Uchiha Shisui chose to give in.

And this retreat lost the initiative.

Qingming seized the opportunity and used the "Konoha Style Sword Technique" with all his strength, attacking wave after wave, and Uchiha Shisui could only passively defend.

For a while, the sound of "ding ding dang dang" of the two swords clashing in the field was endless.

Sparks flew out from the intersection of the sword blades, which showed how fierce the battle was.

Uchiha Shisui felt that the pressure was getting greater and greater. He wanted to counterattack several times and then take the initiative, but he was interrupted by Qingming every time.

The opponent seemed to be very familiar with his sword moves, and he could interrupt him accurately every time he made a move, which made him very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Shisui suddenly realized that the opponent was also an Uchiha ninja.

And being able to practice the "Konoha-style swordsmanship" to this level is enough to show that he has a high talent for swordsmanship.

In addition, he has awakened the Sharingan, so there is no reason not to learn the "Uchiha-style swordsmanship" that is extremely compatible with the Sharingan.

Maybe the opponent's "Uchiha-style swordsmanship" is more proficient than him.

Only in this way can it explain why the opponent can repeatedly and accurately interrupt his moves.

'Yes, it must be like this! '

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Uchiha Shisui thought about it.

At the same time, he also realized that in close combat, he would most likely not be Qingming's opponent.

'I have to change my mindset.'

Uchiha Shisui thought to himself, while constantly blocking the attacks from Qingming.
