As the giant wave surged toward him, Qingming didn't hesitate. He dove headfirst, entering the ocean just in time.
Boom~
The massive wave crashed onto the sea's surface, sending a deep, resonant sound rippling through the waters.
The powerful impact traveled quickly through the water, eventually reaching Qingming, causing his face to turn pale involuntarily.
Simultaneously, a metallic taste filled his mouth, and Qingming immediately realized that his internal organs had taken some damage from the shock.
Swallowing the blood, Qingming quickly formed a hand seal, instantly using the "Mystical Palm Technique" to channel Yang Release chakra into his body, easing the damage to his organs.
While this technique couldn't fully heal internal injuries, it was still enough to alleviate the pain.
With this relief and the robust self-healing ability his current 16-point "Physique" attribute provided, he expected his injuries would heal on their own in a short time. So there was no need to worry.
Sometimes, no matter how skilled you are, an opponent with ample chakra can overpower you.
Usually, Qingming was the one overwhelming others with brute force; this time, the roles had simply reversed.
While Qingming pondered this, five sharks suddenly appeared above him, rushing at him like the fiercest of predators.
However, Qingming quickly recognized that these sharks were not real, but rather created by Water Release ninjutsu.
From his memories, Qingming identified this as one of Kisame Hoshigaki's signature techniques—the Five Sharks Eating Jutsu.
This jutsu specifically targets enemies trapped in the water, attacking them continuously.
As long as Kisame's chakra supply above the surface remained steady, the sharks could endlessly regenerate, wearing down their opponent over time.
Knowing this would have been troublesome, but with his prior knowledge, countering it was straightforward.
Qingming wasted no time, forming a hand seal and pouring a significant amount of chakra into the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough technique.
In an instant, the five sharks were engulfed in a whirlwind, and the wind blades shredded them to pieces.
Not only that, but the wind blast he unleashed also created a clear passage in the surrounding seawater.
Taking advantage of this, Qingming swiftly moved through the passage and re-emerged onto the water's surface.
Witnessing this, Kisame frowned slightly. His Five Sharks Eating Jutsu hadn't even started to take effect, yet his opponent had already escaped, leaving him somewhat caught off guard.
"Shouldn't he have struggled a bit first?"
Though puzzled, Kisame continued attacking without hesitation.
The moment Qingming surfaced, Kisame launched another ninjutsu—Water Release: Water Gun Jutsu!
Though a simple C-rank technique, when reinforced by Kisame's substantial chakra, it rivaled even some B-rank techniques in power.
A stream of water gushed from his mouth, like a pressurized water jet, heading straight for Qingming.
Qingming's reaction was swift; after several rapid backsteps to buy time, he quickly performed the Water Release: Water Formation Wall technique just before the water jet reached him.
Crash~
A wall of water rose, blocking the jet with a deep, resonant sound and splashing droplets into the ocean below.
"Whew…"
Exhaling in relief, Qingming wasted no time. He immediately unleashed the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique at Kisame. Thanks to two weeks of prior training, both his Water Formation Wall and Water Dragon Bullet Technique had leveled up to LV4.
Casting at this level increased not only the technique's power but also its speed. In just a blink, he had already conjured a formidable water dragon.
Roar~
The water dragon roared as it dived toward Kisame.
However, Kisame's reaction, befitting a seasoned elite, was nearly instantaneous. The moment Qingming started forming seals for the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Kisame had anticipated it.
Simultaneously, he launched his own counter—the Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique.
A remarkable scene unfolded.
A massive shark-shaped water bullet materialized before Kisame, soaring forward to engulf Qingming's water dragon.
Instantly, the shark doubled in size, then lunged at Qingming.
But far from dismayed, Qingming was thrilled.
It wasn't because he had any way to withstand the massive shark bullet head-on.
With its ability to absorb chakra and grow in size and power, it was a nemesis for ninjutsu, an attack one should avoid confronting directly.
His excitement was due to the fact that, after realizing Kisame might use this jutsu as a counter, he had activated his Sharingan's copying ability in advance, copying the technique.
Indeed, a new skill had appeared in his status panel—[Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique: LV1 (1/200)]!
This time, he was one step ahead!
Qingming was thankful he had chosen Water Release as his third chakra nature back when he was expanding his repertoire. Otherwise, he would have missed out on acquiring this extraordinarily versatile A-rank technique.
These thoughts flashed through his mind as he closed the status panel. Qingming stomped hard on the water's surface, sending himself several meters sideways with a burst of chakra.
Boom~
The massive shark bullet struck the water, creating a towering wave.
The force of the impact shook Qingming, making it difficult for him to stay balanced.
At that moment, Kisame resumed his assault, launching yet another ninjutsu—the Water Release: Shark Bomb Technique!
A shark bullet shot toward Qingming.
Rather than face it head-on, Qingming dodged, darting side to side.
This was only the beginning; after evading the first shark bullet, Kisame quickly summoned a second, then a third…
Left with no choice, Qingming continued dodging, his situation increasingly precarious.
Finally, after gaining enough distance, he found an opportunity to counterattack.
Instead of using a different jutsu, he retaliated with the very technique he had just copied—Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!
As the advanced version of the Shark Bomb Technique, the Great Shark Bullet had a significant advantage.
Even at LV1, Qingming's shark bullet effortlessly devoured Kisame's shark bomb.
It then swelled in size, surging toward Kisame.
Seeing this, Kisame's expression darkened.
And who wouldn't? Witnessing his own meticulously learned jutsu turned back against him would unsettle anyone.
But no matter how much he disliked it, he had no choice but to endure it—such was the inevitable flaw of facing the Sharingan.
