Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1065 Getting Started
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time!"

Realizing that no matter how long he pondered, he wouldn't get anywhere, Qingming simply stopped wasting time thinking.

Next, he'll focus on mastering these two ninjutsu to the basic level before considering anything else!
Without hesitation, Qingming flashed several times and arrived in the sea outside Moon Island.

Gathering chakra at the soles of his feet, Qingming stood still on the sea surface, then raised his hands to form hand seals, beginning to tentatively cast 'Dust Release: Particle Style'.

That's right, just like learning other advanced ninjutsu, he planned to practice on his own before even getting started.

Only in this way can the experience gained be promptly reflected on the panel, thereby improving his practice efficiency.

Of course, there was another very important reason why he did this: using these two ninjutsu consumed too much chakra.

Thus, every unnecessary practice session results in a significant waste of chakra.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he finally decided to personally work on it to the beginner level, even if it might delay his progress in strengthening his body.

The thought flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He focused his mind and continued to practice the ninjutsu based on his recent insights.

Time passes minute by minute.

The sun quickly began to set in the west.

Then, night fell.

Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, Qingming stopped practicing.

"panel!"

On the high seas, Qingming stared blankly at the square hole in front of him that was being rapidly filled by the surrounding seawater. He then summoned his control panel with a numb expression. Dust Release: Particle Style: lv0 (82/100)!
That's right, after nearly nine hours of practice, he still hadn't mastered the basics.

In fact, not only this ninjutsu, but another ninjutsu—'Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique'—did not advance either; no, it should be said that it remained unchanged.

In the past eight hours, he had only practiced one ninjutsu: 'Dust Release: Particle Style'.

Even so, he still failed to advance.

Unfortunately, this technique is too difficult, and he needs about ten seconds to summarize his experience after each use.

Including the time it takes to cast this spell, it takes an average of thirty seconds to cast it once.

In this way, after more than eight hours, he performed the technique a little over a thousand times.

Based on past experience, these practice sessions will only allow him to gain a maximum of fifty points of proficiency.

The reason he has now gained over 80 proficiency points is thanks to the fact that his success rate has been steadily increasing after his proficiency level improved.

That's how I gained so much proficiency.

"Whoo~~~"

With a soft exhale, Qingming gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

He closed the panel, then flashed back to Moon Island in a few steps.

Arriving at the stream next to the cabin, he quickly washed up and began to rest.

Unlike shadow clones practicing on behalf of the user, practicing personally requires far more energy.

Practicing the same ninjutsu for more than eight consecutive hours was, frankly, making Qingming feel nauseous.

If the panel didn't provide real-time feedback on his progress, even he might not have been able to persevere.

Now, it's time to take a good rest.

With that thought in mind, Qingming quickly drifted off to sleep.

A speechless night!
······
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming got up early.

He mechanically washed his face, swallowed a few enhanced soldier rations to fill his stomach, and then went to the sea to practice 'Dust Release: Particle Style' again.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half had passed. When Qingming successfully used the technique once again, splitting the sea surface not far ahead into a cubic crater, a sudden realization dawned on him.

"Ok?"

Qingming murmured, his eyes immediately lighting up.

Without any hesitation, he immediately stopped what he was doing, stood still, and began to carefully comprehend the knowledge that had suddenly surfaced in his mind.

One second, two seconds
One minute, two minutes
Five minutes later, as a wave crashed over him, Qingming seemed to be awakened, and he suddenly came to his senses.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with joy.

"panel!"

Qingming immediately opened the proficiency panel.

As expected, his 'Dust Release: Particle Style Technique' had indeed advanced to level 1 (1/200), and his recent insights were the result of this advancement.

Reaching level 1 means that he has successfully mastered the technique.

Thus, without external interference, as long as he doesn't malfunction, there will be no more instances of spell failure.

Consequently, the speed at which proficiency is accumulated will also increase significantly.

"Not bad!"

Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he raised his hands again to form hand seals and tentatively used the 'Dust Release: Particle Style' technique.

As expected, it was a success on the first try.

Looking at the cubic craters that had been broken apart on the surface of the sea in the distance, Qingming closed the panel.

After resting briefly, he began to practice 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique'.

Although this technique has a different development direction from 'Dust Release: Particle Style', the basic theory is the same: both use a barrier to bind a certain amount of Dust Release chakra and then release it.

Therefore, with his mastery of the 'Dust Release: Particle Style' technique, his success rate in practicing this technique increased significantly.

In the end, it only took him a little over seven hours, until mid-afternoon, to successfully master the technique.

At this point, both of his Dust Release ninjutsu techniques had been upgraded to level 1.

Moreover, as he used these two ninjutsu at high intensity, his 'Dust Release' also gained an additional five points of evolution.

If one resumes the cultivation of 'Body Extreme', one can gain five more points of evolution.

Finally, the evolution points it can gain each day will be more than ten.

Fifty days ago, its evolution level was (595/1000), and now it is (850/1000).

Based on the calculation of gaining ten evolution points per day, it will only take half a month for it to successfully advance.

According to his previous predictions, once he advances to the next level, it will inevitably shorten the time it takes for his body to transform.

In that case, the day that was just wasted is nothing.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he used the 'Instantaneous Movement Technique' to flash back to Moon Island and began to think about his next steps.

Mastering 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Break Technique' isn't enough; you need to continue improving your proficiency.

Only in this way can the 'Dust Escape' be continuously driven to evolve.

At the same time, enhance his combat power.

Of course, he couldn't come in person this time.

If he does that, not to mention the problem of delaying other aspects of his cultivation, the sheer exhaustion alone could kill him.
