Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1000 Breakthrough
The view suddenly shifted.

Qingming's figure suddenly appeared in the forest outside Konoha Village.

As usual, I activated my Byakugan and observed for a while.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual nearby, he activated the ability of 'Heavenly Guard', passed through Konoha's perception barrier, and entered Konoha Village.

Then, I returned home.

What happened next goes without saying.
He first retrieved the shadow clone that had remained there and learned about the major and minor events that had occurred in the village over the past ten days.

Next, we went to the 'food street' and satisfied our appetites.

Finally, he returned home and began his cultivation of the 'Ultimate Body'.

It's worth mentioning that, apart from a meeting that came to him a week ago from another shadow clone, there hasn't been anything else in the village that he's been paying attention to in the past ten days.

Therefore, Qingming merely glanced at it.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Qingming had a relaxing 'vacation'.

After that, he returned to Moon Island and began a new round of ascetic training.

As he had predicted, during this period of arduous training, the investigation by Iwagakure finally alerted Obito Uchiha.

After learning the whole story, he immediately identified him as the suspect and came to him directly.

However, the other party seemed to be very wary of him. Apart from giving him a verbal warning, they were also trying to find out, both openly and secretly, how he acquired his Wood Release technique.

Qingming, of course, knew nothing about this.

They even denied impersonating the other party and invading Iwagakure.

Obito Uchiha couldn't do anything about him and could only leave in frustration.

When Qingming learned all this from the memories of his shadow clone, he merely sneered and then devoted all his attention to cultivation.

Dealing with someone like Obito Uchiha is very easy if you can find his weakness and know what he wants to do.

Qingming was well aware of his purpose, so he wasn't worried at all about him suddenly turning hostile when communicating with him. This made him bolder and more confident.

As a result, Obito Uchiha became even more hesitant to act rashly.

This also gives him more room to grow.

Of course, Qingming also did not forget to inform the wood clones lurking in Kumogakure and Kirigakure to keep an eye on Obito Uchiha's possible moves.

With the example of Iwagakure Village before him, he wouldn't place too much trust in his memories.

Therefore, it's best to be cautious.

And just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Before we knew it, the end of the month had arrived.

This evening.

On the open ground in the center of Moon Island.

When Qingming once again deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and absorbed and digested their cultivation experience and memories from the past hour, his spirit suddenly trembled.

For some reason, he gained a new understanding of how to integrate the process of strengthening the body into the 'Ultimate Body'.

Without any hesitation, he immediately started trying it on the spot.

Time passes minute by minute.

It took Qingming nearly an hour to come back to his senses from that state of complete absorption.

此时，再看面板，他的‘体之极’后面已经不再是lv7（0/0）了，而是变成了lv7（1/20000）！
That's right, it has already broken through its limit and can be improved.

As for the specific skill effects
Qingming closed his eyes and began practicing 'Extreme Body Technique' again, carefully sensing the various forces within his body.

First, there is the guiding power empowered by 'Human Control'. It is formless and intangible, like a steering wheel, mainly responsible for controlling the general direction of evolution and preventing it from going astray.

Secondly, there's the Yang Release chakra condensed by the 'Henjutsu Palm Technique,' which serves as both energy and the driving force for evolution. Finally, there's the vast amount of ordinary chakra.

Guided by the 'Extreme Body,' they flowed rapidly along the chakra meridians within his body, constantly stimulating the cells throughout his body and causing them to mutate.

The result is bloodline evolution, which is reflected on the stats as an increase in the Byakugan's evolution level.

Of course, this was before.

Now.
As Qingming began cultivating the optimized 'Body Ultimate', these powers gradually merged into one, stimulating the evolution of his bloodline while continuously strengthening his body.

Initially, the overall effect was not as good as when they were separated.

However, as time went on, once Qingming became proficient, his training gradually caught up with the other two methods.

It is foreseeable that once his 'Body Extreme' advances to level 8, or even level 9, and the untapped level 10, the final effect will be far stronger than cultivating these two methods separately.

Of course, most importantly, this two-in-one cultivation method will save him a lot of time.

Having figured this out, Qingming paused the operation of 'Body Limit' and reopened his eyes.

He stood there, pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "It seems I need to re-plan my daily training."

Now that he has broken through the limits of 'Body Limit', it's time for him to rearrange the training time and chakra investment for each skill.

Before that, he needed to test whether the optimized 'Body Extreme' could be performed inside the volcano, and whether he could use the environment there to accelerate his cultivation.

With this in mind, Qingming wasted no more time and immediately locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark inside the volcano, then teleported there.

Standing on the circular platform in the center of the cave, Qingming, his body enveloped in lightning, began practicing the 'Extreme Body Technique' with meticulous precision.

However, he stopped after practicing for only a short while.

The reason was simple: maintaining the existence of the lightning shield on his body surface consumed too much of his energy, making it impossible for him to mobilize the chakra within his body and operate entirely according to the requirements of 'Body Limit'.

In this situation, not to mention the significant reduction in efficiency, the technique's original effectiveness may not even be realized.

Therefore, some changes are necessary.

But it's impossible for him to deactivate his 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode' and expose himself to the air.

Although more than twenty days had passed since he entered the cave, he still could not adapt to the harsh environment. Once he removed the lightning shield covering his body, he could not last long at all.

We can't just let him cultivate for a while and then go back to the ground, can we?

In that case, the round-trip 'travel expenses' alone would be enough to make him suffer a lot.

No matter how much chakra he has, it can't withstand such depletion.

For a moment, Qingming didn't know what to do.

As he was pondering this, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the lava below.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately looked up.

He almost forgot that above this cave, there was a first cavity.

Although the environment there is also harsh, it is still much better than here.

Of course, more importantly, his body was already capable of withstanding the environment there.

In this way, he no longer needs to exert himself to maintain 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'.

Therefore, one can confidently and boldly cultivate the 'Ultimate Body Technique'.

Now, the only question is whether the overall efficiency of cultivating the optimized 'Body Ultimate' there can surpass that of strengthening the body in this cave and spending two hours outside practicing 'Body Ultimate' to induce the evolution of the Byakugan.

After thinking it over, Qingming decided to test it himself.

With this thought in mind, he wasted no more time and immediately activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the first cavity above.

Standing on that familiar platform, looking at the familiar scene around him, Qingming had no time for sentimentality and immediately began cultivating the 'Extreme Body Technique'.
