Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1140 Two Months Later
Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it.

Right now, he has only tested the limits of his body's endurance; he has not yet tested the time required for the next transformation.

Therefore, there's no time to waste here.

However, to accurately estimate the time required for the next physical transformation, he needs to cultivate for a period of time; he cannot rush it.

Therefore, he still plans to proceed with the next training exercise as scheduled.

With that in mind, he directly targeted a Flying Thunder God mark in the primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire. With a thought, he activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and instantly teleported there.

The view suddenly shifted.

In the blink of an eye, Qingming arrived at his destination.

Looking at the familiar forest environment around him, he did not hesitate and immediately used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, three hundred figures suddenly appeared in the arena.

Qingming watched as these shadow clones dispersed throughout the forest without his command, continuing to absorb natural energy.

It is worth mentioning that even now, the natural energy absorbed by the three hundred shadow clones is still enough for him to strengthen his body every day.

At most, it would require using 30 million points of natural energy from the sealed space in the abdomen for circulation.

However, after two months, when he starts strengthening his body around the clock, three hundred shadow clones may not be enough.

At that time, he might be able to create more shadow clones, absorb more natural energy, and supply the energy needed to strengthen his body.

However, that's a story for later. For now...
That's all for now!
After a moment of contemplation, Qingming withdrew his gaze from the shadow clones.

Then, he mobilized the chakra within the alternate dimension between his eyebrows to replenish his own chakra.

Then, he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again.

bang bang bang~
Ninety more shadow clones appeared.

Qingming nodded to them, and then the ninety shadow clones split into several groups to practice the fusion of the seven chakra nature transformations.

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged and began to use the 'Mind Reflection Technique' to stimulate the evolution of his Sharingan.

This is what he meant by the new practice.

Time passes minute by minute.

Stimulated by his 'Mind Reflection Technique,' waves of special chakra began to form in his brain and then surged into his eyes, prompting his Sharingan to evolve.

Although the process is slow, Qingming can see the progress of evolution, so he doesn't find it boring.

On the contrary, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

And just like that, more than six hours passed quickly.

It's late at night.

Qingming finally stopped cultivating.

After absorbing and digesting the training experience and memories of the last round of shadow clones, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to return to Moon Island.

After arriving at the cabin and washing up briefly, he began to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, he got up early and began his cultivation again.

And so it went, day after day.
In the blink of an eye, it was a week later.

After a week of training, he finally determined the time required for his body to undergo its next transformation.

Just like last time, the time he calculated this time was still a month longer than before, reaching as long as nine months.

It should be noted that this was the result of a significant increase in the efficiency of his physical enhancement.

Without this, it would have been impossible for him to undergo another physical transformation in less than a year.

This also illustrates the difficulty of breaking through limits.

This also reaffirms his prediction that the difficulty of improving basic attributes increases as you progress.

However, he certainly couldn't let this time drag on indefinitely.

If this continues, will it take one or two years to improve basic attributes even slightly?
Qingming definitely cannot accept this.

However, he wasn't in too much of a hurry.

The reason why this process is taking so long is simply because the efficiency of his body strengthening efforts cannot keep up with the difficulty of the body's transformation.

When his body strengthening efficiency greatly improves, the time required will naturally shorten. As for this, Qingming estimates that once his 'Constitution' attribute increases by another two points, reaching 40 points, another qualitative change will occur, and he should be able to achieve this.

Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry.

In addition, nine months is only his preliminary estimate.

Just like the last physical transformation, two months later, when his Sharingan's evolution reaches a critical point, he will pause the use of the 'Mind Reflection Technique' and redistribute those six hours to physical enhancement, which will surely greatly shorten the time required.

Therefore, Qingming did not have any negative emotions about this time.

Now, he has only one goal: to get the Sharingan's evolution level to the critical point of breakthrough (90000/100000) as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Qingming began his daily cultivation.

Every day, he is either cultivating or on his way to cultivate.

During that period, apart from returning to the village to rest for one day every ten days, there was almost no rest.

Even the tasks assigned by the village were given to the wooden clone to carry out.

With his current strength, even an A-level mission could be handled by a single wooden clone.

Of course, he did carry out S-class missions.

At this point, although the wooden clones were not enough, thanks to his various hidden methods, his main body could usually complete the task in a very short time.

Therefore, it didn't take much time.

In this way, his cultivation was almost never interrupted.

As a result, two months later, Qingming successfully raised the evolution level of his Sharingan to (89600/100000).

Based on his previous experience, he could make up the remaining 400 evolution points during the subsequent body strengthening process and when his body completed its transformation.

Therefore, he decisively suspended the use of the 'Heart Reflection Technique' and began to dedicate the six hours that were originally used for it to strengthening his body.

This greatly improved the efficiency of his physical enhancement.

However, just as he had predicted, his chakra ran out after he began strengthening his body around the clock.

Originally, he only needed to invest 6100 million chakra points into it each day to cultivate at full speed.

Now, that number has become 9000 million points, a full 2900 million more.

Even after deducting the 300 million chakra saved by stopping the use of the "Mind Reflection Technique", 2600 million chakra are still needed.

He only has 2186.8 million chakra points left each day.

Therefore, it is far from enough.

This meant that he had to draw 413.2 million chakra from his accumulated reserve chakra every day to fill the gap.

And this is not the final result.

As his chakra investment in physical enhancement reached 9000 million points, the required natural energy also increased to the same amount. Only in this way could he fuse a sufficient amount of Sage Chakra.

And so, what he feared came to pass.

In other words, the natural energy absorbed by the three hundred shadow clones was not enough.

Left with no other choice, he had to expand the team to four hundred.

Thus, it absorbed enough natural energy, but the chakra it consumed also increased.

After testing by Qingming, the consumption has increased from 70 points per day to 95 points per day, an increase of 25 points.

As a result, the gap he needed to fill increased from 413.2 million chakra points to 438.2 million chakra points.

Fortunately, he had accumulated enough chakra over the past two years, so even if he drew out 438.2 million points every day, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Moreover, every ten days, he can take advantage of his rest days to accumulate a day's worth of chakra.

Therefore, there is even less need to worry about not having enough chakra.

Even with a ten-day arduous training period, his chakra would still have a surplus.

To truly deplete his past chakra reserves, it will probably have to wait until his body undergoes another transformation, and the chakra required to strengthen his body increases significantly again.

And this will take at least several more months.

As for the specific duration
He will need to test it again.
