Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1052 Success
Having made his decision, Qingming wasted no more time.

He closed his eyes, recalled the feeling from just now, and then condensed three balls of chakra, belonging to the three attributes of 'wind, fire, and earth'.

Next, he carefully adjusted the nature changes of these three chakra attributes to make them compatible with each other.

However, getting to this point was not as smooth as before.

No matter how he adjusted it, it was always a little off; he could never find that perfect fit.

He persisted for several minutes, but even after the three chakra clusters Qingming had condensed dispersed, he was still unable to fuse them together.

However, Qingming was not discouraged.

Now that 'Dust Release' has been successfully imprinted on the panel, there is no possibility of failure in awakening; it's just a matter of how long it will take.

Composing himself, he summarized his experience and waited a moment before gathering three more chakra spheres, adjusting their properties as before.

Time passes minute by minute.

Several more minutes passed.

The three chakra condensed by Qingming disintegrated and dissipated.

He still failed!
"continue."

Qingming muttered something, then raised his hand again, condensing three balls of chakra.

And so, they failed more than twenty times in a row, and more than an hour had passed.

Finally, Qingming seized that fleeting opportunity and adjusted the nature transformations of the three chakra spheres to the most suitable state.

"combine!"

Suddenly, Qingming's eyes widened, and with a low shout, he manipulated the three chakra clusters to merge together.

The next moment, a ball of chakra shimmering with a white light appeared; that familiar feeling was none other than Dust Release chakra.

A smile appeared on Qingming's face, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Admittedly, based on past experience, once something is imprinted onto the panel, there is absolutely no possibility of failure.

However, before he could condense Dust Release chakra a second time, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's worried about failing in the end; his main concern is that it will take too much time.

It now seems that awakening the 'Dust Release' bloodline limit is indeed more difficult than awakening bloodline limits such as 'Molten Release', 'Ice Release', and 'Storm Release'.

However, its difficulty is also limited.

Subsequently, as his proficiency improves, his success rate will increase.

In the end, Qingming estimated that it would only take him two or three days at most to successfully awaken 'Dust Escape'.

At that time, whether he continues to develop the 'Dust Release' bloodline limit and evolves it, or develops various ninjutsu based on it, he will no longer need to personally handle it.

He can then continue to strengthen his body.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could think further, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Qingming looked at the Dust Release chakra in his palm, and it was visibly becoming unstable, just like when he hit the boulder before.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately locked onto a Flying Thunder God mark not far away, and with a thought, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

In an instant, his body vanished.

Almost simultaneously, a blinding white light burst forth from the spot where he had just stood.

A few breaths later, Qingming returned to the same spot.

He glanced at the faintly visible holes in the surrounding trees and thought to himself, "Developing 'Dust Escape' is really dangerous!"

However, despite saying this, he quickly condensed three more chakra orbs and, just like before, began adjusting their properties, attempting to find the right opportunity to combine them. However, his previous success seemed accidental, and Qingming returned to his initial state of bewilderment.

Fortunately, just like before, every now and then, he would seize an opportunity from the darkness and successfully fuse with it, increasing its evolution level by a little.

And just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third day, as expected, Qingming successfully accumulated 100 evolution points for 'Dust Escape', evolving it from (1/100) to (1/1000)!
At that very moment, Qingming suddenly felt a wave of discomfort, as if thousands of ants were crawling on him, making him want to scratch his heart and lungs.

Qingming's face twitched as he endured the discomfort, focusing all his attention on carefully sensing the changes in his body.

But upon seeing it, he was immediately shocked.

In his perception, his body was undergoing an extremely terrifying change at this moment, with a large number of genes being activated, and old cells dying as a result.

Then, new cells are born and quickly fill the gaps.

And this is precisely the source of his discomfort.

Fortunately, Qingming did not sense any danger, so he allowed them to continue updating and iterating.

Furthermore, to make the process even more perfect, he activated the power of 'Human Control', making it serve as a guiding light for evolution.

However, he did not set any goals intentionally; his body's instincts would tell him how to proceed with his evolution.

Therefore, he chose to let nature take its course.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

As the cell renewal in Qingming's body stopped, an indescribable feeling of comfort followed.

Although this feeling was not as obvious as when my body underwent its last transformation, which felt like a heavy burden had been lifted, it was still far greater than the feeling I had experienced during previous bloodline limit awakenings.

Qingming estimates that the reason for this difference is that 'Dust Release' is a bloodline elimination technique that is one level higher than bloodline limit.

In addition, after awakening 'Dust Release', Qingming could clearly feel that his aptitude had improved.

Originally, it would have taken him about another month to strengthen his body to the point of transformation.

But now
Qingming closed his eyes and sensed for a while, feeling that he would succeed in at most twenty days.

This means that he can allow the Sharingan and Byakugan to continue evolving earlier.

As for 'Dust Escape'...
Qingming raised his hand, and with a thought, mobilized the chakra within his body, and then, as if by instinct, condensed a ball of Dust Release chakra.

As for the previous steps of first condensing the chakra of the three attributes of 'fire, earth, and wind', then adjusting their nature changes to match, and finally merging them together, these steps are no longer needed.

After awakening the 'Dust Escape', all of this became as simple for him as eating and drinking, a qualitative leap indeed.

From now on, he no longer needs to worry about being injured by Dust Escape if he is not careful.

As long as it's within his control, he can disintegrate it before it harms him.

In addition, he can also begin to learn various Dust Release ninjutsu.

Unlike other bloodline limits, Dust Release's overwhelming destructive power can effectively enhance his strength, so Qingming has no intention of giving up.

As for what to learn?
It's very simple; 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Break' are ready-made targets.

Qingming wasn't a germaphobe or someone who needed to be different from others; for him, practicality was the most important thing.

Moreover, it's foolish to refuse to take the available path and insist on forging your own way.

Indeed, this might yield greater results, but he could also learn from others first, and then develop his own technology once he has a solid foundation.

In this way, not only will the efficiency be higher, but many detours will also be avoided.
