Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1005 Results and Returns

Inside the volcano.

Qingming was enveloped in poisonous mist, and the scorching heat baked his body, making his skin as red as a boiled shrimp.

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and onto the ground, making a hissing sound.

However, Qingming paid no attention to any of this. He was simply immersed in his own world, practicing the 'Extreme Body Technique' over and over again.

At this moment, if a Hyuga clan ninja were to activate his Byakugan and observe his body, he would immediately discover that an incredibly vast amount of chakra was rapidly circulating through his meridians.

When this chakra flows through his body's organs and tissues, a portion of it is converted into Yang Release chakra, which then invades the cells and stimulates them to mutate.

At the same time, the power of 'Human Control' filled his entire body, like a helmsman guiding these mutations in a positive direction.

This is evolution!
During this time, the poisonous gases in the air tried to corrode his body through skin contact, but they were all dispersed by a surge of active Yang Release chakra.

and also
The immense pressure from the outside world was trying to crush him, but he withstood it all thanks to his strong physique and vast chakra reserves.

In this way, these pressures became his burdens, making his cultivation more effective.

It can be said that he is making progress every single minute here.

It is precisely these advancements that have created his limitless potential.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts, focused his mind, and continued to cultivate the 'Extreme Body Technique,' guiding his body and the evolution of his Byakugan.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and it was late at night.

Qingming finished his cultivation and returned to the ground.

He immediately used his mental energy to probe his body and check his condition.

As expected, after the invisible barrier was broken, his body was no longer restricted and began to grow rapidly once again.

However, this is still not enough to predict the critical point of his body's next transformation.

However, through this training, it was concluded that the increase in proficiency of 'Body Limit' was more than enough.

Qingming opened the panel and observed that in just one hour, his proficiency in 'Body Limit' had increased by eighty points, an increase of about 20% compared to before.

In other words, he can gain approximately 1,200 proficiency points each day from now on.

In this way, it will only take him forty days to advance his 'Body Extreme' to level 9, which is about eight or nine days less than before.

Qingming was fairly satisfied with this.

Of course, increased speed also means increased energy consumption.

Based on the chakra consumption over the past hour, Qingming calculated that if he wanted to maintain this level of training, the daily chakra consumption would increase from four million points to five million points, an increase of one million points.

How should I put this increase?

It's still within Qingming's acceptable range.

Fortunately, after this upgrade to his 'physique' attribute, he gained 1.4 million points of freely disposable chakra. Allocating one million points from it for 'Extreme Body' training is not a big deal.

Moreover, he can accumulate an additional 400,000 chakra points and store them away.

"Not bad!"

Qingming nodded, then turned his gaze to the shadow clones who were still cultivating inside and outside the island.

With a thought, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, all of these shadow clones disintegrated and vanished.

At the same time, a large amount of memory information flooded into his mind.

However, this time, Qingming did not show any unusual behavior.

Indeed, improving his 'physical' attribute does not directly increase his mental strength.

But as I said before, the relationship between the mind and the body is not so clear-cut; an improvement in one of them will lead to a passive improvement in the other.

This improvement may not be that significant, but it should be enough to help him adapt to a stronger impact.

Of course, an even more important factor is that after this upgrade, his 'physical constitution' and 'spirit' are now much closer together. As a result, the slight imbalance between the two that was caused by the successive upgrades of his bloodline limit has been restored.

In this way, his mental stress is reduced, and he can naturally withstand more intense memory impacts.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking and began to carefully browse the memories in his mind, absorbing and digesting the cultivation experience contained within.

A dozen minutes later, he opened his eyes again.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Hey~"

Qingming sighed softly.

To be honest, he underestimated the difficulty of developing bloodline elimination.

Even with the experimental notes left by the Second Tsuchikage Mu as a reference, he still couldn't take the first step in practice after two months and was still stuck at the theoretical level.

The fusion of two chakra nature transformations and the fusion of three chakra nature transformations are on completely different levels of difficulty.

If fusing two chakra nature transformations is considered "one" in difficulty, then fusing three chakra nature transformations is considered "ten".

That's right, it's a tenfold increase.

This is probably why Onoki is the only one in the entire ninja world who possesses the bloodline limit!
“Alas, there is a long way to go!”

With another soft sigh, Qingming gathered his thoughts and stopped letting his mind wander.

With experience in developing several bloodline limits as a foundation, and with Wu's notes as a reference, Qingming firmly believed that he would eventually grasp the essentials.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to be discouraged.

Anyway, he was already mentally prepared before developing Dust Release, and now it's just that the expected problem has appeared. It's not a big deal, he can get over it.

After regaining his confidence, Qingming got up, left the open space in the center of Moon Island, and in a few flashes, headed towards the wooden house.

It's getting late, and it's time for him to rest.

······
The next day.

Qingming got up early and continued his cultivation.

one day.
Two days
Three days
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and it's time for a break again.

After a week of training, he finally estimated the time required for his next physical transformation—five months!

That's right, it's five months.

This time is the same as the time he estimated during his last physical transformation.

Logically speaking, as the number of transformations increases, it should become increasingly difficult for his body to improve.

However, the truth is that this time it will only take five months to transform.

There are two reasons for this:
Firstly, his successive advancements in bloodline limits improved his physical attributes, making it easier for him to increase his physical strength.

Secondly, the advancement to the 'Ultimate Body' level allows him to strengthen his body more efficiently.

The combination of these two factors resulted in the calculated outcome.

Actually, how should I put it?

Although he estimated that his last physical transformation would take five months, it actually took less than five months.

After a series of accelerations, he ultimately completed his physical transformation in just about three months.

So, all things considered, the time required for his physical transformation this time was longer than the last time.

Therefore, it does not violate the underlying rule that the stronger the body, the more difficult it is to improve.

After sorting out his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it. He looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, then quickly packed up his equipment, used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', and teleported back to Konoha.
