Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"Corpse Veins"

Qingming murmured, the long sword in his hand and the green light on his body flashed, and the 'Snap Sword Technique' was displayed. In the blink of an eye, he came to Kaguya Kotaro's side.

Phew~

A flash of knife light flashed.

Chichichi~

A harsh friction sound sounded.

He saw Qingming's knife slashing at Kaguya Kotaro's neck, but it was blocked by his raised arm.

The long knife collided with the bone spurs, making a tooth-piercing sound.

However, unlike the last time when he and Kaguya Morinosuke were unable to break through the defense, this time with the help of the rare weapon - Kusanagi Sword, the opponent's bone spurs could no longer block his blade.

There was only a "click" sound, and the bone spurs on his arms were cut off by Qing Ming's long knife wrapped with wind escape chakra, exposing the flesh and blood underneath.

Unfortunately, after cutting off the bone spur, there was not much strength left on the blade. In the end, it only broke through the opponent's flesh and failed to break his arm bone a second time.

Feeling the pain on his arm, Kaguya Kotaro licked his lips and said with a evil smile: "Not bad, I have some ability, but..."

"Don't underestimate the power of our Kaguya clan!"

He shouted loudly, stimulating the ability of the corpse's bone veins in his body, causing the severed bone spurs to grow again, and the broken skin and flesh quickly healed themselves.

Not only that, he jumped back to distance himself, and then ten finger bones flew out like bullets, forcing back Qing Ming who wanted to pursue.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched his left hand forward, and a sword hilt grew out of his palm. He took hold of it with his right hand and pulled it out fiercely, revealing a snow-white bone sword in his hand.

After completing this in the blink of an eye, Kaguya Kotaro looked at Qingming and the long knife in his hand, twisted his neck and said: "Boy, I will have fun with you next."

As he spoke, he rushed forward, came to Qing Ming, and waved the bone sword in his hand.

Qing Ming waved his sword to block, and only heard a "ding" sound. The bone sword and the long knife collided, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.

This time, even if the Wind Escape Chakra was attached to increase the sharpness, the long knife in his hand could not destroy the opponent's bone sword.

This shows how hard the bone sword in his hand is.

At the same time, after confirming that Qingming could not destroy the bone sword in his hand, Kaguya Kotaro finally relaxed, laughed and started to launch combos.

The opponent's moves were very fast and the attack angle was very tricky. He was often ready for the second move before one move landed, forcing Qing Ming to deal with it passively.

Qingming has also seen this extremely smooth combo from Kaguya Morinosuke. It is one of the six secret techniques of the Kaguya clan that cooperates with the corpse veins - Dance of Tsubaki!

What it emphasizes is to hit quickly and use continuous attacks to put pressure on the enemy, thereby forcing the target to reveal its flaws and then complete the kill.

In other words, Qingming has the Sharingan, which can clearly see the opponent's movements, his nerve reaction speed can also keep up, and his swordsmanship level is not low.

Otherwise, he really may not be his opponent.

Ding Dang Dang~

The crisp sounds of metal collisions sounded one after another, as dense as raindrops, and the two people's movements reached the extreme.

In ordinary people's eyes, it is now a blur.

At this time, the speed of the two people was still increasing.

Now, it depends on who can't keep up first.

At that time, it will be the moment to decide the outcome.

One second, two seconds

One minute, two minutes

The high-intensity battle lasted for a full five minutes.

Finally, at a certain moment, Qingming's long knife rubbed the bone sword in Kaguya Kotaro's hand and slashed at the opponent.

Although he had bone spurs to block, he did not suffer any serious injuries, but this was undoubtedly a sign that he could no longer keep up with Qing Ming's speed.

Realizing this, Kaguya Kotaro's face turned extremely ugly. Among the six secret skills of the Corpse Vein, the one he was best at was the 'Dance of Chun'.

Now, I lost at what I do best.

The blow to self-confidence can be imagined.

On the contrary, Qing Ming's eyes seemed to emit a different kind of light, and he was full of confidence, swinging the long knife in his hand with all his strength.

He used the 'Sword Technique', 'Illusion Sword Technique', and 'Instant Sword Technique' one after another, and continuously attacked Kaguya Kotaro.

For a moment, Kaguya Kotaro was so suppressed that he couldn't breathe. The light of the swords made him dizzy.

In other words, he has corpse bone veins, and his whole body is covered with bone spurs, and some skin injuries can heal quickly on their own.

Otherwise, Qing Ming would have killed him long ago.

However, it is not a problem to continue like this.

Although the ability of corpse veins is very strong, it also requires a lot of chakra to continuously generate bones. If the chakra is gone, it will be useless no matter how strong the corpse veins are.

With this thought, Kaguya Kotaro no longer thought about competing with Qingming in swordsmanship, but controlled the bones of his body, gave full play to the ability of the corpse veins, and used five secret techniques to fight Qingming.

As for why there are five secret skills?

It's very simple, because of the last 'Dance of Hayabari', no one in the Kaguya clan can perform it except Kaguya Kimimaro, who is used as a weapon.

Therefore, there are only five secret techniques.

However, even with these five secret skills, he is not as skilled as Kaguya Morinosuke, at least not as good as his opponent in terms of balance.

At the beginning, when Qingming faced Kaguya Morinosuke, he still had to avoid his sharp edges.

But now, facing Kaguya Kotaro, he can face him head-on, and even take advantage of the opponent's opportunity to switch to secret techniques to continuously launch counterattacks.

Of course, this was also because he had accumulated some experience in dealing with these five secret techniques after fighting with Kaguya Morinosuke.

But it is undeniable that the pressure Kaguya Kotaro gave him was indeed not as great as Kaguya Morinosuke.

In this way, plus a good knife.

'Maybe. There is no need to waste time.'

Thinking so in his heart, Qingming seized the opportunity, slashed with a knife, blocked Kaguya Kotaro's attack, and leaned forward and approached the opponent.

Then, a high-density chakra ball condensed in the palm of his left hand, which was the unmarked ninjutsu-Rasengan!

Bang~

Qingming stretched out his left hand and pressed directly on Kaguya Kotaro's chest. The high-density chakra ball exploded and blasted him away.

Dong~

Kaguya Kotaro fell heavily to the ground, and a series of "crackling" sounds came, and the bone spurs on his chest were broken.

The skin and flesh below also showed obvious signs of twisting, and blood oozed out, forming curved bloodstains.

Obviously, even with the obstruction of the bone spur, Qingming's 'Rasengan' still caused considerable damage to it.

In fact, if the opponent had not used the power of the Corpse Bone Vein at the critical moment to enhance the strength of this part of the bone spur.

With the power of the lv6 'Rasengan', even if the opponent did not die, he would have been seriously injured. How could he get up quickly after being hit by him like now?

That's right, Kaguya Kotaro was not seriously injured, and he stood up quickly again.
