Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1063 Speeding up progress
Regaining his composure, Qingming stopped focusing on the effects of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' and began to consider how to allocate the remaining shadow clones after its advancement to perfection.

It should be noted that during each round of his daily cultivation, he would create two hundred shadow clones to practice this technique.

Now that the technique is complete, the two hundred remaining shadow clones cannot be left idle.

After some thought, Qingming finally decided to dedicate all his shadow clones to developing the Dust Release ninjutsu.

The main reason for this choice is that there are enough shadow clones to absorb natural energy.

Despite having the level 9 'Tri-Element Sealing Technique' which greatly increases his ability to store natural energy, he cannot store it outside his body like chakra.

So, that's the limit.

In this situation, there is absolutely no need for him to increase the amount of natural energy he absorbs each day; just enough is sufficient.

On the contrary, it was the development of Dust Release ninjutsu.
With the addition of these two hundred shadow clones, a total of five hundred shadow clones working together will undoubtedly accelerate the progress significantly.

Of course, it's unrealistic to say that the speed will increase by 60% or 70%.

After all, everything has its limits. At his current frequency of retrieving shadow clones once per hour, having three or four hundred shadow clones being developed simultaneously is about the most efficient situation. Continuing to increase the number of shadow clones will result in a serious diminishing marginal effect.

However, while it may not be possible to increase the speed by 60-70%, increasing it by 30-40% should not be a problem.

Of course, if you ask whether this limitation can be overcome, the answer is yes.

The simplest and most intuitive method is to increase the frequency of retrieving shadow clones.

In this way, he can update his understanding and knowledge of Dust Release ninjutsu at a faster pace, so that he can continuously stand at a higher starting point and move forward.

However, this will inevitably increase the consumption of chakra.

After all, retrieving and releasing shadow clones consumes extra chakra.

Qingming could only find a balance between these two, and the current hour was the optimal frequency he had tested over a long period of time.

He wouldn't easily change his mind unless absolutely necessary, and he wouldn't care even if it slightly reduced the development efficiency of Dust Release ninjutsu.

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but Qingming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then raised his hands to form a hand seal and once again used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, eight hundred shadow clones appeared in the arena.

Qingming immediately dispersed five hundred of his shadow clones to the edge of the island, forming small groups to study how to learn the 'Dust Release: Primal World Detachment Technique' and the 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique'.

Of the remaining three hundred shadow clones, he selected a few dozen and had them absorb natural energy on Moon Island. The rest were directly packaged and sealed into a scroll.

Then, Qingming raised his hand again, forming a hand seal to unleash the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Then, a twitch appeared on his shoulder, and a wooden clone appeared in front of him.

Qingming looked at the other person, and without saying a word, handed the scroll in his hand to him, saying, "Go!"

Upon hearing this, the wooden clone nodded.

Then, he raised his hands to form a hand seal and used 'Wind Release: Wings of Wind' to fly into the sky.

Next, he used the 'Chakra Feather Robe' to protect himself, and then used the 'Earth Release: Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique' to reduce his weight.

If this is before the Byakugan is advanced, his preparations are complete at this point, and he can now fly directly to his destination.

but now.
Suddenly, a white eye appeared between the eyebrows of the wooden clone.

The next moment, an invisible force of gravity acted upon him, propelling him forward. Then, the wood clone flapped its wings, and at an incredible speed, it flew towards the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.

Qingming watched his rapidly departing figure and nodded in satisfaction.

With the help of the upgraded Byakugan, the wood clone was able to fly to the Land of Fire even faster.

This way, the time wasted on the road is naturally reduced.

Well.
Although it wouldn't have taken much time before.

But every little bit helps, right?
As for the extra chakra consumed as a result...
To be honest, even with the added cost of activating the Byakugan, it's still much less expensive than having all his shadow clones use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to that primeval forest, or him using the Flying Thunder God Technique himself to go there and then creating shadow clones to train.

Therefore, Qingming didn't care much.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking and teleported directly to the volcano beneath Moon Island to begin his cultivation.

······
Before you know it, another half month has passed.

It's almost the end of February.

This afternoon.

Qingming had just completed a round of 'Extreme Body' training and was teleported back to Moon Island.

While waiting for his body to recover naturally, he glanced at the shadow clones on the edge of the island, who were divided into small groups and studying two Dust Release ninjutsu. A hint of excitement appeared deep in his eyes.

There's no other reason than that after more than a month of intensive research and countless failures, he had finally reached the threshold of success.

Once he successfully develops these two ninjutsu, not to mention their enhancement of his combat power, the fact that they will improve his 'Dust Release' during practice alone is enough to make him look forward to it.

Qingming had not forgotten that when he awakened the 'Dust Escape' bloodline limit, it improved his aptitude and directly reduced the time it took for his body to transform by ten days.

This time, its evolution is even more advanced, so even if its 'physique' attribute is higher, the effect should not be much worse.

How could Qingming not be excited?
He had a feeling that he should be able to imprint both ninjutsu onto the panel by tomorrow at the latest, or today at the earliest.

"Whoo~"

With a light breath, Qingming felt that his body had almost recovered, so he didn't waste any more time and immediately deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, everything inside and outside the island, including the shadow clones in the primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire, disintegrated and vanished.

A flood of memories rushed into Qingming's mind.

Qingming suppressed his discomfort and first sorted and stored the chakra and natural energy that returned with these memories before he began to sort through the memories in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

A quarter of an hour later.

Qingming, who should have woken up, still kept his eyes closed.

Then came twenty minutes, then twenty-five minutes, and Qingming still hadn't woken up.

Half an hour passed before he suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Qingming's eyes were filled with joy.
