Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1141 A Hasty May (Bonus Chapter)
With this in mind, Qingming wasted no more time and immediately began cultivating again.

This training lasted for another week.

Before we knew it, it was early April.

It was late at night.

Below Moon Island.

Inside the volcano.

Qingming completed the final round of cultivation.

With a thought, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport back to the open space in the center of Moon Island.

While waiting for his body to heal itself, he summarized what he had learned in the past week.

Based on these findings, he roughly estimated the time required for his next physical transformation.

As expected, after he diverted the six hours he would have spent using the 'Heart Reflection Technique' to strengthen his body, the time required for his transformation was indeed greatly reduced.

Originally, according to the initial estimate, it would take him about seven more months for his body to undergo a transformation.

Now, it only takes less than five months to reach the critical point of transformation.

Without a doubt, this is a huge improvement.

Qingming was very pleased with this.

And so, after a night's rest, he once again devoted himself to cultivation.

······
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Before we knew it, it was late August.

Cooler weather.

This evening.

Qingming completed another round of 'Body Limit' training and was teleported out from the volcano below Moon Island.

A gust of cold wind brushed his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Qingming tightened his clothes slightly and began to wait for his body to heal itself.

It is worth mentioning that after nearly five months of continuous cultivation, he once again sensed that familiar constraint.

Now, his efficiency in strengthening his body has decreased significantly.

At the current pace, his body will reach the critical point of transformation in at most another week.

Unfortunately, today is the last day of his ten-day arduous training.

He will be taking a break tomorrow.

Therefore, the breakthrough can only be achieved in the next round of arduous training.

In addition, today is also the day he goes to Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure to update information, so he can't delay any longer.

Collecting his thoughts, Qingming sensed himself and found that the damage to his body caused by the harsh environment inside the volcano had been completely healed. He then deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

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

A flood of memory information rushed into my mind.

As usual, Qingming first suppressed these memories, and only after classifying and storing the chakra and natural energy that returned with these memories did he begin to browse them.

Time passes minute by minute.

It took about fifteen minutes.

Qingming browsed through these memories and absorbed and digested all the cultivation experiences and memories contained within them.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that his understanding of the fusion of the seven chakra nature transformations had deepened once again.

Perhaps, once his 'spirit' attribute improves again, he can continue to try to increase the number of shadow clones he can create through the Bloodline Limit.

The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

His body hasn't even undergone its transformation yet, so considering improving his 'spirit' attribute is really a bit premature.

Qingming looked up and glanced around. When he saw the setting sun in the distance, he moved swiftly, using the 'Instantaneous Movement Technique' to arrive at a cliff on the east side of Moon Island in the blink of an eye. With his legs dangling in the air, he sat there, facing west, watching the golden sea under the setting sun, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

At that moment, he wasn't thinking about anything; he just stared at the beautiful scenery before him, motionless.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, the sun had set and night had fallen.

Wow~
A wave crashed against the rocks below.

In an instant, Qingming awoke as if from a dream.

He looked up at the sun disappearing in the distance, then at the starry sky, and shook his head inwardly.

Qingming stood up and stretched vigorously.

The brief rest he had just had restored a lot of his energy, and he felt that the fatigue he had accumulated from days of hard training had lessened somewhat.

Although Qingming didn't expect tonight's operation to involve a battle, he would adjust his own condition each time he retrieved these wooden clones.

After all, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and Qingming doesn't want to be caught off guard and lose.

Now that I've adjusted my mindset and the timing is perfect, it's time to set off.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Qingming did not hesitate and immediately unleashed 'Wind Release: Wings of Wind', 'Chakra Feather Robe', and 'Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique'.

After flying into the sky, he activated his Byakugan and used gravity to guide his own movements.

Thus, a streak of light flashed across the sky and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

And so, Qingming flew to the Land of Water at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

This time, he didn't even take a detour; he directly used the cover of night to fly straight from the border of the Land of Water to the skies above Kirigakure.

Without using his Byakugan to spy, he simply scanned the area with his naked eyes to confirm that there had been no major changes in Kirigakure before landing, activating 'Heavenly Guard', and infiltrating the village.

Then, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport directly to his wooden clone.

"You came."

Upon seeing him appear, the wooden clone spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Qingming nodded.

Then, he went straight to the point and asked, "Has anything happened in Kirigakure recently?"

"No."

The wooden clone shook its head.

"Where's Obito Uchiha?"

Qingming asked again.

That's right, the reason he came to Kirigakure first was to find out Obito Uchiha's whereabouts.

According to his memories from his previous life, Obito Uchiha should have already made a move against Yagura Karatachi by now.

But it's unclear whether Obito Uchiha discovered something, or if it was due to the butterfly effect.

In short, over the past few months, the Wood Clone has not found any signs that Yagura Karatachi is being controlled.

Not only the other party, but also the well-known ninjas in Kirigakure showed no such signs.

This made Qingming curious about Obito Uchiha's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, upon hearing his words, the wooden clone shook his head again and said, "Everything is as usual!"

Seeing this, Qingming didn't waste any words and immediately released the 'Wood Clone Technique' to begin browsing the other party's memories.

Unlike the shadow clones he creates briefly during his usual cultivation, Qingming only updates these wooden clones that lurk in other villages once every month and a half on average.

Thus, even if they try to remain asleep as much as possible and are alone, the routine intelligence gathering alone is enough to generate a large amount of memory information.

Therefore, Qingming absorbed their memories very slowly.
