The crisp ring of metal striking metal kept echoing through the field.
Qian held a short sword in hand, fighting one against three. Facing the coordinated attacks of three Hidden Rock jonin, he showed no sign of falling into a disadvantage.
But that was only now. A few minutes earlier, against the three men's seamless teamwork, he had run into danger several times.
During that time, he had repeatedly wanted to use ninjutsu to break the deadlock, but he had suppressed the urge with tremendous willpower.
In the end, relying only on his Swordsmanship and Sharingan to face the enemy, he had forcefully resolved every one of those crises.
And under that pressure of life and death, his Swordsmanship improved at an astonishing speed, while the final bit of Proficiency rapidly accumulated.
"Almost! Almost there!"
Qian muttered under his breath as he parried the attacks from the three Hidden Rock jonin.
"Almost there? What does that mean?"
The three Hidden Rock jonin exchanged glances, none of them knowing what Qian was talking about. Before they realized it, the rhythm of their assault slowed.
At the same time, their gazes occasionally swept the surroundings, as if guarding against something.
Qian felt the pressure on him ease and frowned slightly, but when he saw their reactions, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What is this? I only muttered a few words. Do you really have to be this cautious?
Though Qian complained inwardly, he had to admit this was an excellent opportunity.
With two clangs, Qian deflected the attacks of two Hidden Rock jonin.
Then, facing Oda Uchihikari's opportunistic sneak attack, he did not choose to dodge completely. He only avoided his vitals, then launched a counterattack.
