Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1098 Advance
The view suddenly shifted.

In the blink of an eye, Qingming traveled from the harsh environment inside the volcano to the lush and verdant Moon Island.

"Inhale...exhale..."

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Qingming felt better in his lungs, and after a short wait, his skin, which had been red and hot from the intense heat inside the volcano, quickly recovered.

Only then did Qingming have the mind to check his own condition.

Compared to before activating 'Sage Mode', his body has indeed been strengthened somewhat in the past hour.

but
Qingming checked his own chakra and natural energy consumption over the past hour and frowned.

The reason was simple: the cost exceeded his expectations, making it slightly more of a loss than a gain.

Reflecting on his cultivation over the past hour, Qingming pondered for a while and decided to change his approach.

Previously, he had tried his best to ensure that the process of cultivating the 'Extreme Body' was supported by the 'Immortal Mode'.

Therefore, you need to activate 'Immortal Mode' twice within an hour.

However, it takes time to integrate Sage Chakra.

This wasted almost twenty minutes of his time for no reason.

Perhaps he could reduce the number of times to once.

That is, it takes ten minutes at the beginning to enter 'Immortal Mode' to accelerate the cultivation of 'Body Extreme'.

After it exits, it will not re-enter, but will instead, in the usual manner, fuse some Sage Chakra and directly begin the training of 'Body Limit'.

In this way, his training results may not be as good as they are now, but it will reduce the consumption of chakra and natural energy by a large margin.

Most importantly, as his proficiency in 'Sage Mode' increases, he can maintain 'Sage Mode' for longer and longer periods of time.

At that time, it can be directly used for body enhancement, and the efficiency of cultivation will naturally increase.

Moreover, this way you don't have to worry about time allocation within an hour.

Well.
At least, that was the case before the 'Sage Mode' lasted for fifty minutes to an hour.

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

He first retrieved the shadow clones outside, and then spent a quarter of an hour absorbing and digesting their cultivation experience from the past hour.

Then, he raised his hand again to form a hand seal and unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', creating 560 shadow clones in two separate instances.

After assigning them their usual training tasks, Qingming teleported to the volcano beneath Moon Island once again.

This time, he began cultivating according to his previous idea.

······
Before you know it, another hour has passed.

Qingming returned to Moon Island and carefully sensed his own condition.

As expected, his cultivation efficiency decreased over the past hour after reducing the buff from 'Sage Mode' once.

However, compared to before mastering 'Sage Mode', it is still an improvement.

Most importantly, it didn't consume much of his chakra or natural energy.

Qingming roughly calculated that if he cultivated normally in this way for a day, it would increase his chakra and natural energy consumption by about 50%, which is an extra million points of chakra and natural energy.

However, in return, it can increase his efficiency in strengthening his body by 10%.

Originally, he needed nearly five more months for his body to undergo the transformation.

Now, the body can reach the critical point of transformation about half a month earlier.

By calculation, the transformation can be completed by mid-January, not even in February next year. And this is just the beginning.

It is foreseeable that as his 'Sage Mode' level increases, the duration he can maintain it will be extended, and his cultivation efficiency will improve accordingly, which will further shorten the time required.

In addition, in about three weeks, his Sharingan evolution level will reach the level of (60000/10000).

At that time, the six hours he used to practice the "Mind Reflection Technique" each day will be reallocated to the "Body Extreme," and his cultivation efficiency will see a huge boost.

Considering the above two points, he may be able to complete the transformation of his body this year, rather than waiting until next year.

Qingming was very much looking forward to this.

Call ~
A gust of night wind blew by.

Qingming shuddered.

Without further thought, he released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, all the shadow clones, both inside and outside the island, vanished.

A flood of memory information rushed into my mind.

Following his usual practice, Qingming first suppressed these memories. After classifying and storing the chakra and natural energy that returned with these memories, he then began to browse through the memory information.

It took him about fifteen minutes to go through all the memories of his shadow clones, absorbing and digesting all the cultivation experience contained within them.

After completing this step, he returned to the cabin, packed his things, and then used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the forest outside Konoha Village.

'Eye roll~'

With a thought, Qingming activated his Byakugan.

In an instant, everything within a two-kilometer radius came into his view.

After observing carefully for a while and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Qingming noted the location of the Konoha patrol team ahead and then moved closer to the Konoha wall.

Once inside the watchtower's observation range, he immediately activated the ability of 'Heavenly Guard,' easily scaling the wall, passing through Konoha's sensory barrier, and entering Konoha Village.

After that, he continued on his way and arrived in the heart of the village.

Immediately, a lively atmosphere swept over us.

Walking down the street, Qingming could clearly feel that the pedestrians, whether they were commoners, ninjas, or merchants from afar, all had a sense of ease from the bottom of their hearts.

The reason for this is actually quite simple: news had recently spread that Konoha and Kumogakure had signed a peace treaty and officially withdrawn their troops from the border.

This made the situation in the ninja world clear again.

Therefore, the person who receives this news will naturally feel relieved.

However, none of this concerned Qingming. He avoided the crowd, quickened his pace, and soon returned to the Uchiha clan's territory and his home.

Without Qingming's instruction, the shadow clone left at home dispelled the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

Instantly, all the memories of the past ten days flooded back into the other person's mind.

Qingming closed his eyes and scanned the area for a while. After confirming that there were no major incidents, he removed his equipment, changed into casual clothes, and left his house.

Having finally come back, he naturally wanted to satisfy his appetite.

Therefore, he rushed to the 'food street' immediately.

Although he returned a little late this time and missed the afternoon dinner time, the night market here was just as lively.

Qingming jumped inside without hesitation and quickly began to eat and drink voraciously.
