Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1078 Advance again
The moon sets and the sun rises.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

After a night of intense marching, apart from Qingming, a monster with an extraordinary physique, everyone else was in poor condition, especially the Chunin with average strength, who were panting heavily.

Left with no other choice, Qingming had to discuss with the other Jonin leading the team and suspend their journey for an hour.

Upon hearing this, the group of ninjas immediately stopped and began to eat soldier pills, seizing the time to recover their strength.

An hour later, the group set off again.

In this way, every five or six hours, the group would stop to rest and replenish their energy before continuing their journey.

Finally, after a day and two nights, they arrived at the northern border camp on the morning of the third day.

At this time, Minato Namikaze had already ordered the area to be placed under strict martial law.

Looking at the familiar camp, Qingming didn't say much.

After handing over the duties to the commanding ninja of the camp and clarifying his mission, he left the place, leaving only a wooden clone in his place.

······
"Hu~~"

After using the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to return to Moon Island, Qingming let out a long breath.

Finally, he could cultivate again.

Without wasting any time, Qingming used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' twice in succession, creating a total of 330 shadow clones.

After assigning them their respective tasks, Qingming let them leave.

Afterwards, he used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to teleport to the volcano below Moon Island.

It is worth mentioning that as he continued to cultivate the 'Extreme Body' technique at a high intensity, his body's resistance to this environment became higher and higher.

Qingming estimated that his body would need to undergo two or three more transformations before he could fully adapt to the environment inside the second cavity.

At that time, its enhancement effect on his body will completely disappear.

However, Qingming wasn't too worried.

With a thought, he activated his Byakugan and looked down.

His gaze pierced through the poisonous fog in the air, through the flowing magma below, and even through the solid rock layers beneath the magma.

Finally, a hundred meters below, another cave was spotted.

Perhaps it can be called the third cavity.

Visibly, the environment there is harsher, and the magma is more active.

Therefore, this place can serve as his next place of practice.

That's why Qingming wasn't too worried about adapting to the environment.

Gathering his thoughts and withdrawing his gaze, Qingming wasted no more time. He mobilized the chakra and natural energy within his body, fusing them to create enough Sage Chakra, and then began his training for 'Body Limit'.

······
Before we knew it, a week had passed.

Just as Qingming had predicted, the sudden incident a week ago did not cause any serious consequences.

Initially, the Hidden Cloud Village's attitude was indeed very tough, demanding an explanation from Konoha.

During this period, they even sent additional troops to the border to put pressure on Konoha.

Unfortunately, although Minato Namikaze appears somewhat 'weak' on the surface, he is actually a very opinionated person at heart. Once he sets his mind on something, he will not easily back down.

He refused all of the unreasonable demands made by the Hidden Cloud Village.

Furthermore, Qingming heard from the sidelines that Hiruzen Sarutobi and other senior members of Konoha's previous generation seemed to have suggested to Minato Namikaze that they make some concessions in exchange for Kumogakure signing a peace treaty.

Of course, they weren't trying to force the Hyuga clan to make sacrifices as they did in the other timeline, but rather to get Minato Namikaze to make some concessions on the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Unfortunately, these proposals were also rejected by Minato, who insisted on investigating the facts and finding out what really happened.

His actions, however, put the Hidden Cloud Village in a passive position.

After all, it was Kumogakure that was in the wrong to begin with.

Unless they have the courage to start a war and are unable to distort the truth, they can only passively cope.

Therefore, after getting through the initial period, the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village gradually softened.

According to the latest news, it seems that the Hidden Cloud Village is planning to send other people to take over the negotiations and handle this unexpected incident.

It's clear that the Fourth Raikage has also lost trust in these people, otherwise he wouldn't have made the mid-term change.

However, none of this mattered to Qingming. He only wanted to perfect the 'Dust Escape: Origin World Detachment Technique' and then immediately move on to the next step.

And this is no longer a distant prospect.

A week is enough time for him to grind the 'Dust Release: Particle Style Technique' to near perfection.

Qingming estimates that it will be able to successfully advance in one or two days at most.

With that in mind, Qingming stopped wasting time and immediately began a new round of cultivation.

······
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning.

After Qingming completed another round of 'Body Limit' training, he was teleported back to Moon Island, deactivated 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', retrieved all his shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their training experience from the past hour. Suddenly, a realization dawned on him.

Qingming's face lit up with joy. He quickly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and carefully comprehended the knowledge that appeared in his mind.

A full quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes again.

At this moment, his understanding of 'Dust Release: Particle Style' reached a new level.

Now, even without opening the panel, he could be certain that his 'Dust Release: Particle Style' had definitely advanced.

The insight I just gained came about after I advanced to level 10 (0/0).

Qingming stood up, and in a few flashes, arrived at the shore.

Then, he flashed again and arrived on the sea.

After glancing around and seeing that there were no obstacles nearby, he raised his hands to form a hand seal and unleashed the latest 'Dust Release: Particle Style Detachment Technique'.

He then spread his palms apart, and a transparent cube-shaped barrier appeared in his palms.

"go with!"

With a soft shout from Qingming, the cube-shaped barrier flew out from his palm.

Then, it grows rapidly.

Ultimately, it transformed into a gigantic cubic barrier, constantly shimmering on the sea.

Wherever it goes, everything is broken down into atomic states.

At this point, it can be said that the difference between 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Break Technique' is no longer obvious.

The only difference is that, with the same amount of chakra, the 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique,' which is already focused on area attacks, has a larger attack range and stronger sustainability.

While 'Dust Release: Particle Style' can be used to attack multiple points under his control, the overall damage range is still relatively limited; it's just that the precision is higher.

However, in any case, both of his ninjutsu techniques have reached perfection.

Next, he could proceed with his plan to invest his chakra into developing the Bloodline Limit.
