Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1019 Selection
Without hesitation, Qingming first returned to the interior of the volcano, fused the more than 10,000 points of natural energy stored in his body into Sage Chakra, and used this Chakra to strengthen his body.

Then, he raised his hands to form a hand seal and unleashed the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Then I saw his shoulder twitch.

The next moment, a wooden clone appeared in front of him and quickly transformed into his appearance.

Qingming looked at the other person and said directly, "I'll leave the task of finding a place to you from now on."

That's right, he plans to send his wood clone to the Land of Fire to find a place with abundant natural energy that is suitable for his cultivation.

As for him, he naturally continued his cultivation.

On the other side, upon hearing his instructions, the wooden clone nodded without saying a word and then used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the island.

Then, he used 'Wind Release: Wings of Wind' and 'Chakra Garment' to fly into the sky.

Afterwards, he used the 'Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique' to reduce his weight.

After doing all this, he flew away from Moon Island and headed towards the Land of Fire.

That's right, the wood clone didn't directly use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the Land of Fire, but instead planned to fly there.

As for the reason
It's quite simple. First, as he develops new sealing techniques, his chakra consumption increases again.

As a result, the amount of chakra that can be accumulated each day is reduced again.

In this situation, when it's not urgent, it's natural to conserve some chakra.

Secondly, it is foreseeable that after entering the Land of Fire, he will not be able to find a suitable location immediately. He can't possibly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to every place he goes.

Therefore, after weighing the options, using flying ninjutsu is still the most cost-effective.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Qingming's mind for a moment; his mind was currently focused on cultivation.

Soon, the one-hour training session was over.

Qingming stopped cultivating the 'Extreme Body' technique again and once again retrieved the twelve shadow clones, giving himself more than 10,000 points of natural energy.

He skillfully gathered an equal amount of chakra, entered the alternate dimension in his abdomen, and fused them together, transforming them into Sage Chakra.

Next, Qingming concentrated his mind and transferred all the Sage Chakra out of the alternate dimension in his abdomen.

Then, he fully activated 'Body Limit', allowing these Sage Chakra to flow through his meridians, eventually transforming into resources that propelled his body's rapid evolution.

Compared to ordinary chakra, the effect of Sage Chakra is undoubtedly outstanding. Although it is only a little over 10,000 points, the effect it produces is far beyond what an equivalent amount of chakra can achieve.

Qingming could clearly feel that his body had improved again, and his Byakugan, which was evolving in sync, had also received some nourishment.

Although it hasn't reached the point of directly gaining a bit of evolutionary progress, it's already pretty good.

If the calculation continues at 10,000 Sage Chakra points every half hour, Qingming estimates that his Byakugan can gain an extra four to five evolution points per day.

And this is just the beginning.

The skills 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' only require 5,000 proficiency points to upgrade from level 4 to level 5.

Now, he can gain 1,000 proficiency points for each skill every day.

In other words, it will take him a maximum of five days to upgrade both of his skills.

While upgrading from level 5 to level 6 isn't a qualitative change, it will definitely greatly increase his control over natural energy.

At that time, he will have more Sage Chakra to use for training 'Body Limit'. In this way, both the speed at which he strengthens his body and the speed at which his Byakugan gains evolution points will increase simultaneously.

Even if they don't advance in rank, the increase in proficiency alone will enhance his training effectiveness.

Its effects may not be immediately obvious, but when accumulated, they cannot be ignored.

It can be said that his future is bright.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

Once he sensed that his Sage Chakra was depleted, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back to the island.

After glancing at the shadow clones developing Dust Release both inside and outside the island, Qingming, as usual, deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

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

A flood of memory information rushed into my mind.

It took Qingming about fifteen minutes to sort through these memories and digest the cultivation experience contained within them.

Now he can start from a higher point and develop Dust Release and new sealing techniques.

Without wasting any more time, Qingming opened his ninja tool pouch, casually swallowed a few enhanced soldier pills to replenish what he had consumed over the past hour, and then formed hand seals again to unleash the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, four hundred and twenty-four shadow clones appeared in the arena.

Looking at these shadow clones, Qingming ordered three hundred of them to continue developing the Dust Escape technique, and another one hundred to develop new sealing techniques.

The last twenty-four shadow clones were originally intended to be added to the one hundred shadow clones that absorbed natural energy.

However, considering the limited natural energy on the island, Qingming simply let them develop new sealing techniques as well.

In fact, not only this time, but in the next few rounds of cultivation, he should also draw some people from the shadow clones that absorb natural energy to join the development of new sealing techniques until the natural energy on the island is restored to balance.

In this way, the energy of the shadow clones that absorb natural energy will not be wasted, and the development of new sealing techniques can be accelerated.

And so, time passed little by little.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

At that moment, a memory suddenly surfaced in Qingming's mind.

Qingming immediately stopped practicing the 'Wood Clone Technique', closed his eyes, and began to carefully review the memories in his mind.

As expected, the one who transmitted this memory was none other than the wooden clone that he had sent out that morning to find a 'suitable place'.

And the other party did not disappoint him. After a day of searching, they finally found a place with abundant natural energy within the Land of Fire.

Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes.

He glanced at the group of shadow clones cultivating inside and outside the island, thought for a moment, and ultimately decided not to recall them prematurely.

After using the 'Mind Connection Technique' to allow these shadow clones to continue cultivating, Qingming mobilized the chakra within the alternate dimension between his eyebrows to replenish the chakra within his body.

Once he reached his peak condition, he released his senses, locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark left by his wooden clone before it disintegrated, and then activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' with a thought.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot.
