#86 - The anger in Mei Terumi's heart (Happy New Year! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please

As long as he dodged Qing Si's attack, he wouldn't be easily forced into the current predicament once he created some distance.

"Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai?"

Qing Si didn't even look at the bone spur, arcs of electricity spreading through his body.

The Kaguya Clan could freely control the bones within their bodies, manipulating anything related to 'bone,' whether it was calcium or bone cells.

The hardness of their bones was even more durable than most ninja tools, making them difficult to destroy.

But… what of it?

Qing Si still wore that faint smile, his black hair swaying in the wind.

In the next moment.

Qing Si extracted chakra, converting it all into chakra with 'Lightning' Release properties.

The Sharingan's drastically increased control allowed Qing Si to manipulate the chakra within his body with extreme precision.

The nerves in his hand were reactivated under the influence of the electric current, and Qing Si suddenly accelerated.

The enhanced range of the Ruthless Iron Hand also included his wrist, allowing Qing Si to output an even greater amount of chakra.

For anyone else, there would only be one outcome.

Being injured by this massive surge of Lightning Release chakra!

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere, and a head with a lingering expression of relief flew into the air.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

The surrounding ninjas' expressions changed drastically.

They finally realized that the Uchiha before them was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

In their fear, no one dared to launch another attack.

For most ninjas, passing the Chunin Exams was their ultimate goal, and plundering a Kekkei Genkai was merely an added bonus.

Without life, any rewards from the village were useless.

"Reigetsu!"

Mei Terumi's eyes were bloodshot.

That was the anger of seeing her comrade killed.

Qing Si looked back at Mei Terumi, but didn't rush over directly.

He realized that being here also counted as time.

So, the time passed second by second, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi, who wanted to help, held back, observing the situation.

Hizashi Hiashi gasped, looking at the scattered body parts on the ground, barely daring to breathe.

He even forgot to take his ninja headband back.

Natsu Hiashi looked up at Qing Si, her heart filled with heaviness.

Unfortunately, a genius from the Uchiha clan overheard it.

Natsu Hiashi didn't dare to imagine what kind of political conflict it would trigger if Qing Si told the Uchiha clan leader.

Right now, she just wanted to quickly finish the second round of the exam and return to the Hiashi clan to inform Gin Hana of the situation.

Finally, the progress of the term reached one hundred percent.

[Term: Battlefield Rose (White).]

[Requirement met: Dance in a battle with 30 or more people, lasting 100 seconds.]

[Progress: (Completed).]

[Effect: Your fighting spirit is high, and the battle is endless. 'Yin' Release chakra is increased by 5% on the original basis.]

[Note: Can be upgraded later.]

[Upgrade Route 1: Integrating 'Ruthless Iron Hand (White)' and 'Ruthless Fire Extinguisher (White)' can be upgraded to 'Burning Heart (Green)']

As the broadcast ended, Qing Si's mind gradually became clear, and his thinking became sharp.

Qing Si found that his thinking speed had increased a lot.

Last time, obtaining [Impartiality (White)] also increased 'Yin' Release chakra by 5%.

Adding up, there was a 10% increase.

This would save Qing Si many months of hard work.

It was known that it was very difficult to improve mental strength even a little, and it required a lot of time and effort.

The so-called Yin Release is a manifestation of mental strength.

And if you want to improve your mental strength, you mostly rely on hard training to temper your will, and some people learn more knowledge to make themselves more knowledgeable.

Qing Si looked at the completed term and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hand over all the scrolls on your bodies, and I can let you go."

Silence.

After a few seconds, the first ninja couldn't bear the pressure and threw the scroll to Qing Si.

Then, several ninjas followed suit and threw the scroll to him.

After someone took the lead, more and more ninjas chose to throw the scroll.

A pile of scrolls accumulated at Qing Si's feet.

The living coveted Qing Si, and the dead fell on the cold ground.

Mei Terumi looked at the dead, and only a ball of fire burned more and more fiercely in her heart.

What happened just now happened in a very short time.

So Mei Terumi didn't even have a chance to take action, and saw her companion who had been getting along day and night since coming from the Land of Water die in Qing Si's hands.

"Water Release..."

Mei Terumi raised her hand and formed the first seal.

"So many people have retreated, do you want to resist me?"

Qing Si looked at Mei Terumi's hand seal, and the flames on the ninja sword in his hand did not diminish.

As long as Mei Terumi dared to form the second seal, Qing Si would rush over.

"Enough, Mei Terumi."

Kaguya Katsuya stretched out his hand to stop Mei Terumi from continuing to form seals.

It didn't make any sense to fight now.

Qing Si's strength made him feel a sense of oppression.

And a deep... tremor.

This was not fear, but desire!

The Kaguya clan was a fighting clan.

But now Qing Si was at the height of his power, and Hozuki Reigetsu was already dead.

Even if they defeated Qing Si, they wouldn't have much energy left.

The rabble gathered on the field would definitely backfire on them and compete for the Kekkei Genkai.

Moreover, the Cloud, Rock, and Sand ninjas who hadn't joined and didn't know when they had escaped might come out to pick peaches.

"Reigetsu he..."

Mei Terumi looked at her companion's head falling on the ground.

"That's how ninjas are. Who knows if they can live past tomorrow? We are all important ninjas to the village and can't just die like this."

Kaguya Katsuya shook his head.

He had 'Corpse Bone Pulse', and Mei Terumi had 'Dissolve' and 'Boil', which were rare Kekkei Genkai.

And the Hozuki clan had a large population, so Reigetsu's death here was just that.

"Here you go, Uchiha Qing Si."

Kaguya Katsuya happily threw several scrolls to Qing Si, and then told Mei Terumi to focus on the overall situation.

Seeing that the Mist ninjas had given them, the last part of the hesitant genin threw the scrolls to Qing Si.

Qing Si let the ninjas who handed over the scrolls leave.

After everyone left, Qing Si beckoned Kurenai Yuhi to help her collect these scrolls.

He himself went to take away the valuable things from the corpses.

"Qing Si, what are you collecting these for?"

"To sell for money."

"..."

This strange reason made Kurenai Yuhi not know what to say.

Should she say Qing Si loved money?

Soon, Qing Si weaved a rag bag from the clothes of the corpses on the ground and carried the scrolls on his back.

As for these corpses.

Whether it was Asuma Sarutobi or Kurenai Yuhi, Natsu Hiashi and others, none of them showed any obvious expression.

For ninjas, death was a very normal thing.

Shikamaru was feeling down because there were casualties in the mission, and Neji and Choji were being rescued.

Temari directly asked Shikamaru if he had received 'mental training', a big man was still so fragile.
