That Damn Qingyu Is Still Chasing Me!

Inside the Camp Tent.

Jiraiya's expression turned serious Jiraiya hearing Qingyu's report.

"Red Eye —that's really rare. Kirigakure actually has one."

Jiraiya frowned.

"When I was training at Mount Myōboku, I heard the Sage Fukasaku talk about this Kekkei Genkai. It is said to be the natural enemy of the Byakugan."

"The ability to create Chakra images that even the Byakugan can't see through—I thought it was just a legend back then, but I never imagined that Kirigakure actually had such a trump card."

He straightened up, his gaze sweeping over Qingyu, Kakashi, and Hyuga Ginka.

"Ginka, your Byakugan has been completely suppressed. Be careful when you patrol in the future. If Qingyu's Sharingan hadn't been unaffected by the Red Eye, you might have already fallen into an ambush."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."

Hyuga Ginka lowered her eyelids, a hint of resentment flashing in her white pupils.

Her Byakugan, which she had been so proud of since childhood, was completely suppressed by other eye techniques.

If Qingyu hadn't seen through the enemy's disguise at the crucial moment, she would probably be a cold corpse by now.

"The appearance of the Red Eye enemy signifies that Kirigakure has invested far more resources than expected in this infiltration operation."

Jiraiya said.

"I initially thought they were just trying to harass the Supply Line, but now it seems the Kirigakure's target might be bigger than we imagined. Kekkei Genkai like Red Eye aren't usually used in ordinary infiltration missions."

He turned around and looked at Qingyu.

"Qingyu, thanks to you this time, you not only discovered the secret of the Red Eye, but also repelled their attack. The fact that you all escaped unscathed is already a very good result."

"It's all thanks to everyone."

Qingyu shook her head.

Jiraiya looked at Qingyu's young face, nodded, and felt more and more that this child was a promising talent.

He is neither arrogant nor impatient, possesses outstanding abilities, and most importantly, has a clear mind.

The most dangerous thing on the battlefield is not a lack of strength, but a lack of understanding of the situation and reckless recklessness. Qingyu clearly does not have this problem.

"You've all worked hard. Get some rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, the patrol area needs to be readjusted, and the Sensory Barrier setup needs to be changed as well. We can't leave them any opportunity to take advantage."

Jiraiya waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

Qingyu nodded to Jiraiya turned and walked out of Jiraiya's Camp Tent.

Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka followed behind, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the night outside the Camp Tent.

Jiraiya watched the swaying tent flap, picked up the briefing on the table containing information about the Red Eye Demon, put the information into a sealed scroll, sealed it with sealing wax, and prepared to send it back to Konoha by special envoy.

"The whereabouts of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are still unclear, and now another one with Red Eye has appeared—this battle is far from over."

Jiraiya rubbed his temples, preparing to sit down and continue dealing with the mountain of documents.

It took him quite a while to finish these documents.

Then he pulled out a small notebook from the corner of the table and began to write furiously on the paper, jotting down his material.

After writing a few pages, Jiraiya looked at the material he had written and thought with satisfaction that the book should be ready for publication once the war was over.

This is one of his masterpieces.

Jiraiya already has an idea and a rough draft, which he calls "Make-Out Paradise"!

The three filed out.

Night had completely fallen, and the campfire in the camp crackled on the firewood.

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks came from the distant sea, and the fishy sea breeze swept through the camp, making the flames of the campfire flicker.

After parting ways with Kakashi and Kakashi Hyuga Ginka, Qingyu walked alone towards his own Camp Tent.

Lifting the curtain, one could see his distillation equipment and several half-read pharmacology books on the low table.

Qingyu walked to the low table, sat down cross-legged, and took out another glass bottle from his Ninja Tool Pouch.

The bottle contained another forbidden drug that Orochimaru had given him before he left; the liquid was pale gold and shimmered slightly in the candlelight.

This forbidden drug was given to him by Orochimaru before he set off; its effect is to temporarily enhance eyesight.

Qingyu has been taking various banned drugs with different effects during this period.

He picked up the banned drug, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

The liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, and a warm sensation spread from his abdomen to his limbs and bones. The flow of Chakra in his meridians noticeably accelerated.

Although banned drugs have a bad reputation among ninjas, that's only for those who take them recklessly without considering the consequences.

For Qingyu, his [Glutton] trait enhances his absorption efficiency. Combined with his Medical Ninjutsu foundation and the Senju Clan's regenerative abilities, as long as the dosage is controlled within a reasonable range, the side effects of these banned drugs are almost negligible.

Moreover, these banned drugs have extremely low side effects and have been personally tested by him.

As long as it is not taken frequently, there will be no side effects.

"Two more banned substances are needed."

Qingyu pondered to herself.

The B-Rank Trait [Drug Tolerance] requires the consumption of twenty different prohibited drugs to be synthesized, and he has already consumed eighteen of them.

All that's left for Qingyu to do is wait for Orochimaru to return or figure out another way himself.

However, there is another thing to do right now: practice the Sensory Ninjutsu given to Jiraiya.

He took out the scroll printed with "Barrier: Heavenly Canopy Formation" from his Ninja Tool Pouch and unfolded it in front of him.

He had already memorized the contents of the scroll before carrying out the mission, but he hadn't found a complete period of time to practice.

I have nothing to do right now, so I can make good use of this time.

Following the steps on the scroll, Qingyu Hand Seals and concentrated Chakra in his feet.

The technique of Sensory Barrier differs from ordinary offensive Ninjutsu; its focus is on the diffusion and stability of Chakra.

The user needs to spread Chakra evenly into the surrounding space like ripples in water, forming a hemispherical field of perception.

Once he learns this Sensory Ninjutsu, he will be able to upgrade [Malice Perception].

Qingyu was very curious about what kind of improvement would follow.

Meanwhile, at the Kirigakure Frontline Camp.

Xue Binglian lay on a simple hospital bed, her body wrapped in bandages.

Her Ice Release Chakra was almost completely depleted in the previous battle.

Moreover, during the battle with Qingyu, he broke several ribs and fractured his right arm, which was splinted and hung in front of his chest by a medical ninja.

The tent flap was lifted from the outside, and a graceful figure walked in.

--

The newcomer had delicate features, with a pair of bright green eyes and long, wavy brown hair that reached her waist, swaying gently as she walked.

A white strapless top hugged her impressive bust, and a long blue robe was draped over it. As she moved, her slender waist and long legs could be vaguely seen.

Even though she was still quite young, Mei Terumi displayed a unique feminine charm.

At first glance, it's clear she's a natural beauty.

"Binglian, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you."

Mei Terumi sat down by the hospital bed and placed a bunch of wildflowers on the bedside table.

Xue Binglian turned her head to look at her teammate.

"It's you, Ming."

The Xue Binglian opened its mouth.

"I didn't expect even you to come see me. Do I look terrible?"

Mei Terumi shook her head.

"I'm not here to laugh at you, I'm here to ask you a question."

"What do you want to ask?"

Xue Binglian gave a bitter smile.

She thought that she was already proud enough to possess the strength of Special Jonin at such a young age.

As a result, that brat from Konoha almost left her with a lasting trauma.

Mei Terumi sat on a small stool, her hands resting on her knees, her long, wavy hair cascading down her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbone and fair, slender neck.

"I'm curious who injured you like this; there aren't many people who could break through your Ice Release."

"Konoha's genius, Qingyu."

Xue Binglian's voice was filled with gritted teeth.

Xue Binglian was furious at the thought of Qingyu's ruthless actions.

This guy has absolutely no sense of chivalry towards women.

He showed no mercy when beating women, and he hit them hard.

Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow.

"Qingyu?"

"That's him. You should have heard of him before, the Uchiha and Senju- Senju."

Xue Binglian Path.

"He shattered my ice wall with just one punch; he must have already mastered Tsunade's 'Strength of a Hundred.'"

Mei Terumi's emerald green eyes flickered slightly, as if her interest had been piqued.

"A genius from Konoha? --- I'd only heard he was Tsunade's younger brother, I never imagined he was this strong."

You'd better not underestimate him.

Xue Binglian's voice deepened.

"That guy is not only strong, but also has extremely sharp perception; he was able to see through the Red Eye's disguise."

She paused, then added, "Moreover, his Water Release are very strong; he can go toe-to-toe with Lord Qing's Water Dragon Bullet. On the battlefield, someone like that would be one of the most troublesome enemies."

Mei Terumi did not answer, but narrowed her eyes slightly, as if sketching Qingyu's image in her mind.

She was very curious; compared to her, who was the better genius in Konoha?

In order to correct the current distorted "Bloody Mist Village," Mei Terumi believes that she is no less capable than anyone else.

And she herself has the right to be proud.

Kekkei Genkai are rare among ninjas, but Mei Terumi possesses two Kekkei Genkai: Boil Release and Lava Release.

This level of skill is extremely rare, even in Kirigakure.

This war is her stage.

Qingyu is undoubtedly a very good target.

"If you run into Qingyu on the battlefield next time, remember to let me know."

Mei Terumi stood up.

"I want to see if this genius can defeat me."

If Qingyu is as powerful as Xue Binglian says, then this battle will definitely be very interesting.

When Mei Terumi stepped out of the Camp Tent, the sea breeze ruffled her long brown hair.

The distant sea was still shrouded in thick fog, but she was in an unusually good mood.

Finally, something to look forward to appeared on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Qingyu was cultivating.

[Collectible trait detected: Boil Release's Envoy]

[D-Rank Trait: Boil Release's Envoy]

[Effect: Increases Boil Release bloodline power by 30%.]

[Synthesis: Successfully defeating Mei Terumi will upgrade the trait to a higher level]

"?"

Qingyu looked at the suddenly appearing trait.

Mei Terumi gave me a bunch of gold coins?

Qingyu looked at the synthesis conditions and pondered them.

Could it be that among the people he killed or defeated were acquaintances of Mei Terumi?

So Mei Terumi noticed him?

Mei Terumi has quite a few good things on her; even if she can't compare to Tsunade, the top-ranked player, she should still have quite a few good items.

Qingyu stroked her chin.

Among the women, Tsunade is the one who gets the most gold coins.

However, Mei Terumi possesses two Kekkei Genkai and is the future Fifth Mizukage; by all accounts, she has many positive qualities.

"I hope I can meet her on the battlefield."

Qingyu pondered to herself.

He wasn't in a hurry.

Given the devastation of the Third Shinobi World War, ninjas from all nations are facing a shortage of manpower.

So sooner or later, he'll have to Mei Terumi.

One week later.

Konoha Camp, afternoon.

The atmosphere at the camp was much more relaxed after the arrival of the logistics troops.

--

The wounded received timely treatment, and supplies of medicine and ninja tools were replenished.

After several busy days, the medical ninjas finally had some time to rest.

Several young female medical ninjas sat chatting on wooden crates at the edge of the camp.

"Have you heard? Qingyu got first place in this Chunin Ninja Exams!"

The speaker was a girl with her hair in a ponytail.

"Qingyu? He's Lady Tsunade brother?"

A short-haired girl next to her put down her teacup, a look of surprise on her face.

"Isn't he a medical ninja?"

"Who says medical ninjas can't get first place in the Chunin Ninja Exams? Lady Tsunade may be a medical ninja, but isn't she one of the famous Legendary Sannin?"

The girl with the ponytail retorted.

Tsunade is a role model they completely idolize.

"Moreover, Qingyu is also a fighter. I heard that he not only Lady Tsunade's 'Strength of a Hundred,' but also the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan. Even Kakashi is no match for him!"

"Kakashi? Hatake Kakashi, the son of White Fang?"

"Yeah, it's Kakashi, the one who got defeated by Qingyu during the Chunin Ninja Exams."

The short-haired girl's eyes widened, then she sighed.

"I took the Chunin Ninja Exams three times before I passed, and Qingyu got first place on his first try? That's just too unbelievable."

"Sigh, that's talent, isn't it?"

The other girl shook her head, her tone tinged with a mix of emotion and pure envy.

No matter how hard a person without talent tries, they will never catch up with a person with talent.

"But Qingyu is a really nice person. Yesterday, when he was helping to treat the wounded, he even taught me a little trick to stop bleeding. He's not arrogant at all."

"You even spoke to Qingyu- jun?"

The girl with the ponytail immediately perked up and leaned over to take her hand.

"So, isn't he really handsome? I saw him from afar once, but I didn't get a good look at his face."

"He's more than just handsome."

The short-haired girl's face flushed slightly.

"And his voice was so pleasant. When he was explaining hemostasis techniques to me, I almost didn't hear what he was saying; I was just staring at his face."

Several girls let out a low laugh, a laugh tinged with the shyness and excitement unique to young girls.

"By the way, don't we have a medical ninja in our camp who interned at Konoha Hospital, the one named Rin Nohara? Do you think she's familiar with Qingyu- kun?"

"They should be familiar with each other. I Qingyu- kun often with Rin when he was helping out at Konoha Hospital."

"Then tell me, does Lin have feelings for Qingyu- jun—"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Rin Nohara sat on another wooden crate not far away, holding a medical manual in her hands, pretending to be reading it carefully.

But she had been stuck on the same page for almost ten minutes, and hadn't been able to read a single word.

Although the girls were speaking in hushed tones, their chatter still drifted intermittently into her ears.

Qingyu- jun is indeed very handsome, has a pleasant voice, and is very patient with everyone.

While at the Konoha Hospital, Qingyu taught her some advanced Medical Ninjutsu techniques, and she would secretly Qingyu's face.

She always thought, if only I could be as powerful as Qingyu, able to heal any kind of injury.

She was always thinking about how she could help Qingyu.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the direction of the camp entrance.

"Lin!"

Obito ran towards her, waving as he went. His ninja Forehead Protector was askew on his forehead, and his black hair was a mess in the sea breeze.

Lin, I've come to see you!

He ran up to Rin Nohara, took out something wrapped in oiled paper from behind his back, and presented it to her like a treasure.

"These are freshly baked saury rice balls I took from the kitchen, they're still warm!"

"Thank you, Obito."

Rin Nohara took the rice ball, took a small bite, and smiled politely at Obito.

Obito sat down on the wooden box next to her, about to say something, when he heard the whispers of the medical ninjas not far away drifting over.

"The match where Qingyu defeated Kakashi was absolutely amazing."

"How exactly did they achieve that invisibility Ninjutsu? I heard it was Lightning Style nature transformation—"

"I think his knife is really cool, what's it called again?"

"Qingyu has two. Which one are you talking about?"

Obito's ears twitched, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

Qingyu from the ditch is still chasing him!

Why does everyone keep mentioning Qingyu?

He was, after all, an Uchiha Clan and had awakened the Sharingan, albeit only recently, the first One-Tomoe. But it was still an awakening.

His defeat to Might Guy in the Chunin Ninja Exams was just an accident. Once he fully masters the power of the Sharingan, he will eventually be able to compete with Qingyu.

As a result, no one mentioned his name at all.

How could Obito Uchiha be so unknown?

I'm shivering and freezing!

"Rin, I've awakened my Sharingan. I'll reach the Three-Tomoe sooner or later, and then I'll definitely become even stronger than Qingyu and Kakashi!"

Obito turned his head and looked at Rin Nohara with a serious expression.

Do you think I can do it, Lin?

Rin Nohara closed the medical manual in her hand, looked at Obito's expectant face, and pondered how to answer without hurting Obito's pride.

"Obito might be able to get Three-Tomoe, but as for surpassing Qingyu- kun and Kakashi, I don't know."

1

"What? Lin, even you don't believe me?!"

Obito jumped up from the wooden crate, looking injured.

"I will definitely prove it to you!"

Obito turned and ran out of the camp.

After running a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Rin Nohara.

Rin Nohara was looking down at the medical manual, the sea breeze blowing through her short hair and brushing against her face.

What a nice view----

Obito was completely absorbed in watching.

He peeked for a while before clenching his fist and walking away.

After returning to the village, he decided to go find the old man who had given him guidance.

Although the old man seemed a bit strange, the Ninjutsu he taught was very powerful, and he might have some secret techniques he hadn't taught him yet.

Moreover, the old man seemed to know a lot about the Sharingan. It was the first time he had heard that after the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, there was another Sharingan called the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Although the old man's origins were mysterious, the oblivious Obito didn't think much of it.

Because the old man said he had a way to help him open his eyes!

So what exactly is the method?

Obito was looking forward to it.

After all, the Mangekyō is definitely much more powerful than the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

"I must find that old man next time I go back."

Obito shouted.

At the same moment, Madara Uchiha was also looking this way through White Zetsu.

He originally wanted to Qingyu, but instead found Obito loitering outside.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

This kid is still so childish.

However, Obito's earlier mention of his determination to become stronger gave him a new idea.

A whetstone is always needed for a genius to grow.

Obito's existence can serve as a good stone, helping him hone his Qingyu.

Madara Uchiha thought to himself.

Two weeks later.

Inside the Camp Tent.

Qingyu finally mastered the "Barrier: Heavenly Canopy Formation" given to Jiraiya.

Now, whenever he wants, he can open a Sensory Barrier with an extremely wide coverage area, within which all Chakra fluctuations will be detected.

--

Moreover, the most powerful aspect of this technique is that it doesn't require the hands to activate; you only need to form hand Hand Seals with your feet.

Jump up and then clap your feet together to use it.

Although it's somewhat comical, this Ninjutsu can be used even while forming hand Hand Seals.

Two Ninjutsu were used at the same time.

[C-Rank Trait detected: Malice Perception has met the synthesis requirements]

[Should we synthesize it?]

"Synthesis."

Qingyu immediately chose this one.

[B-Rank Trait: Malice Perception]

[Effect: Can detect the malice of all creatures within its perception range.]

[Synthesis: Learning five advanced Sensory Ninjutsu will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]

"Perception range, that is, how far can I perceive, and how far can this Malice Perception also extend?"

Qingyu stroked her chin.

If he can sense something three kilometers away, does that mean he has Malice Perception of three kilometers?

Qingyu found this ability to be quite good.

After all, no amount of Ninjutsu can conceal the malice in one's heart.

Unless the malice towards them is dispelled using Genjutsu magic, but once it is dispelled, it will be very difficult to launch an attack.

Qingyu thought this trait was pretty good, and she didn't expect it could be synthesized further.

"Grade A?"

Qingyu guessed that the next level would be A-level, and was curious about its effects.

However, he felt that the one who could achieve A-Rank Trait faster was someone else.

That's [Drug Tolerance], which is upgraded to a higher level after taking twenty different banned drugs.

Now, he is about to finish.

After closing the panel, Qingyu tested the effect.

After casting the "Barrier - Heavenly Canopy Formation", an invisible barrier opened.

Everything within this barrier was perceived by Qingyu.

Several patrolling ninjas passed by outside the Camp Tent; their Chakra fluctuations were calm and showed no malice.

In the distance, in the wounded soldiers 'Camp Tent, several medical ninjas were changing the bandages on the wounded.

Further away, several ninjas were having dinner.

Everything was clearly reflected in his perception.

"The extent of Malice Perception is directly proportional to the range of its perception range."

Qingyu thought to herself.

This trait is far more reliable than ordinary Sensory Ninjutsu because it directly reads the hostility itself.
