Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1145 Return to Transformation and Improvement (Part 2)

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about it and went out to find food.

Perfect timing! It's lunchtime, all the shops are open, and there's plenty of delicious food to enjoy.

As Qingming walked down the street, smelling the delicious aromas wafting from all around, he couldn't help but wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Afterward, he went into one shop after another, enjoying a delicious meal until he was completely satisfied before stopping.

After that, he didn't cultivate, but wandered around the village, both to familiarize himself with the memories of the shadow clone in his mind and to relax his mind and body.

And so, evening came. He had a good dinner, soaked in the hot spring for more than two hours, and then returned home to rest.

······
The next day.

Early in the morning.

Qingming woke up feeling refreshed.

After quickly washing up and having breakfast, he left a shadow clone behind in the village, and then took the supplies he had bought during his stroll the day before and left the village for Moon Island.

Upon arriving at Moon Island, he first surveyed the surrounding area as usual, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual within a ten-kilometer radius, he immediately devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

This evening.

Below Moon Island.

Inside the volcano.

Qingming completed the 'Extreme Body' training once more, then sensed himself, but found no obvious progress.

"Whoo~~~"

He let out a soft breath and murmured, "Finally, we've reached the critical point."

Indeed, after a week of cultivation, his body had finally reached the critical point of transformation and he was ready to begin his breakthrough.

but
With a thought, Qingming activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

In just a moment, he was back on Moon Island.

Gazing at the setting sun on the distant horizon, he fell into deep thought.

Based on past experience, each of his physical transformations takes at least ten hours from start to finish.

As a result, the little time left today is simply not enough.

But he didn't want to stay up all night.

Therefore, the breakthrough can only be done tomorrow.

Perfect timing! I can get some rest early today and conserve my energy for tomorrow's breakthrough.

Without hesitation, Qingming acted immediately after his body recovered, deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and retrieved all the shadow clones.

It took Qingming about fifteen minutes to absorb and digest the cultivation experience and memories of these shadow clones over the past hour.

After that, he returned to the cabin and began to rest.

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

Before dawn.

Qingming got up early and went out of the wooden house.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he yawned, then went to the stream and quickly finished washing up.

After that, he swallowed several enhanced soldier ration pills in succession. Once he had filled his stomach, he immediately went to the open space in the center of Moon Island and began to work on breaking through.

He first activated the power of 'Human Control' and applied it to himself, relying on this technique to guide the direction of evolution.

Then, he used the Palm Healing Technique, which had been improved many times, to condense an extremely dense Yang Release chakra and inject it into his body.

Finally, he manipulated these Yang Release chakra, channeling them along the chakra meridians that ran throughout his body, penetrating into every cell.

In this way, cell evolution is gradually promoted, breaking the invisible shackles that restrict the continued growth of his body.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, the moon set and the sun rose, and the sky was already bright.

Qingming did not rest at all, and continued to promote the evolution of his body.

As the saying goes, once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.

Once the breakthrough began, Qingming didn't stop at all. Even when he got tired, he only slowed down the pace of evolution slightly.

Then, around mid-afternoon, a sound like shattering glass rang in his ears. Qingming jolted and suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with joy.

There was no other reason than that, after more than ten hours of effort, the invisible shackles that had restricted the continued growth of his physical body were broken.

In other words, he has already achieved a breakthrough.

How could he not be happy?
However, Qingming quickly composed himself and began to wait for his body to transform.

The breakthrough he just made was merely the breaking of that invisible constraint; the transformation that follows is the true growth.

Just as he was thinking this, Qingming felt a familiar warm current arise from within his body, then flow rapidly along the chakra meridian network throughout his entire body, beginning to nourish his body and prompting his cells to evolve.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately closed his eyes again, relaxed his mind, and let the warm current propel his body to evolve.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

At one point, Qingming slowly awoke.

"Whoo~~~"

With a light breath, Qingming began to sense himself.

Instantly, a feeling of comfort spread from the inside out.

At this moment, his mind and body once again reached a perfect balance, and he felt an indescribable sense of ease.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.

The next moment, a familiar light blue semi-transparent panel appeared before his eyes:
Name: Uchiha Aomine

Age: 18 years old

Constitution: 38→39
Spirit: 39
Chakra: 11203600 (18413650 → 23813650)

Natural Energy: 0 (18413650→23813650)

Bloodline: Sharingan Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (89600/100000) → (89999/100000)

White eyes (10755/100000) → (11360/100000)

Wood Release (4473/10000) → (5643/10000)

Meltdown (1800/10000) → (2970/10000)

Ice Release (1980/10000) → (3150/10000)

Storm Release (1850/10000) → (3020/10000)

Dust Escape (1210/10000) → (2220/10000)

技能：查克拉提炼术：lv8（11592/50000）→lv8（17016/50000）

查克拉掌控：lv9（71550/100000）→lv9（97940/100000）

Perfect Skill:

As expected, with his body undergoing another transformation, his 'Constitution' attribute also increased by one point, from 38 to 39. It was precisely because it reached the same level as his 'Spirit' attribute of 39 points, achieving a perfect balance, that he felt an extreme sense of ease.

After getting used to it for a while, Qingming began to test the changes it brought.

First, there's the increase in the theoretical chakra limit.

With a thought in mind, Qingming began to fully activate the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to tap into his own potential.

This process lasted about ten minutes.

ten minutes later.

He stopped digging.
He then began to estimate his potential, or the theoretical increase in his chakra limit, based on the changes in his body over those ten minutes and the increase in his chakra limit on the panel.

Based on his past experience, he quickly estimated the result.

According to his estimate, this physical transformation increased his theoretical chakra limit by approximately 34 million points.

Last time, when his 'Constitution' and 'Spirit' attributes reached a balance of 38 points, the increase was 26 million points.

Clearly, this time, the rate of increase has grown again.

Qingming was already used to this.

After all, the last time his 'Constitution' and 'Spirit' attributes were balanced at 37 points, the increase was only 20 million points.

In this way, the increase occurs each time, which seems to follow a pattern, doesn't it?
After regaining his composure, Qingming rested for a while and began testing his chakra recovery speed.

As before, he first suspended the operation of the 'Chakra Refining Technique'.

Then, try to keep your state as stable as possible, silently wait for your body to naturally recover chakra, and observe the changes in 'chakra' on the panel.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

ten minutes later.

Qingming stopped observing.

At this moment, his 'Chakra' had increased by 731944 points.

It can restore 731944 points in ten minutes, 4391666 points in one hour, and 105400000 points of chakra in twenty-four hours a day.

What does 105.4 million chakra points mean?

If he has enough supplies to replenish his energy, he can use A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu almost like basic attacks on the battlefield.

This gives us an idea of ​​just how fast his chakra regeneration speed is.

It can be said that from now on, unless there are special circumstances or special opponents, there will never be a problem of not having enough chakra.

However, while 105.4 million chakra points may seem like a lot, it's actually not that significant.

After all, after his last 'spirit' attribute was upgraded, he could naturally recover 8840 million chakra points every day.

The current 10540 million points is only 8840 million points more than the previous 1700 million points.

Well.
Although it wasn't a small amount, it was roughly within his expectations.

After all, last time his 'physical' and 'mental' attributes were restored to balance, his chakra recovery increased by 1300 million points. This time, the increase is slightly greater, so it's roughly around that level.

However, with these 1700 million chakra points, his daily chakra surplus changed from a negative 438.2 million points to a positive 1261.8 million points.

In other words, he no longer needs to draw upon his spare chakra every day.

Of course, this is on the premise that his cultivation plan remains unchanged.

But obviously, this is impossible.

Therefore, this 1261.8 million points of surplus chakra is just a transition.

Later, when his cultivation plan changes, his cultivation method will also change.

Whether it will be positive or negative depends on how much his resilience has increased after this physical transformation.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it and looked down at other parts of the panel, beginning to summarize what he had gained over the past seven months.

The first thing that caught his eye was 'chakra'.

As you can see, after more than seven months of continuous exploration, his chakra limit has increased by more than five million points.

Currently, it has increased from over 18 million points to nearly 24 million points.

Without a doubt, this is a considerable number.

Qingming was very pleased with this.

Because the increase in his chakra limit means an increase in his combat power limit. Although this amount of chakra is far from a qualitative change, it is still quite good that he can improve.

Skipping over 'natural energy', Qingming's gaze continued downwards, landing on the bloodline section.

As we can see, his Sharingan evolution is as expected. In this physical transformation, he has filled the last gap and has once again reached the critical point of breakthrough.

Once this breakthrough is achieved, it will truly bring me close to the level of the Rinnegan.

Thinking of this, Qingming couldn't help but recall the scene from more than a week ago, that night, when he first came into contact with Nagato, and thought of the other's Rinnegan.

Keep in mind that the opponent's Rinnegan wasn't even the original one, yet it was capable of wiping out entire villages and cities. If it were him, how strong would he be? Like Madara Uchiha?
Qingming didn't know either.

But he was certain that he was definitely no weaker than Nagato.

Moreover, his evolution of the Rinnegan was not solely driven by his desire for its immense power; rather, it was a foundation and a bridge to mastering the Bloodline Limit.

Therefore, the Rinnegan is not the end, but a new beginning.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a long while, Qingming finally withdrew his thoughts.

Then, his gaze continued downwards, landing on the "eye roll" column.

As we can see, it is still the same as before. In addition to passively gaining a little evolution points when strengthening the body, it gained more than 300 extra evolution points when the body just underwent a metamorphosis.

In short, its evolution level has only just reached (11360/100000), so there is no need to worry about breaking through.

Pulling his thoughts back, Qingming continued to look down at the bloodline limits and bloodline nets such as 'Wood Release', 'Molten Release', 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release', and 'Dust Release'.

Because of the significant increase in developing Shadow Clones through Bloodline Limits, the evolution speed of his Bloodline Limits and Bloodline Elimination has improved somewhat.

This has resulted in them gaining slightly more evolutionary points over the past seven months than before.

Thus, in addition to the extra evolution points brought about by his physical transformation, they generally increased by a little over a thousand points in evolution points.

With these evolutions, his 'Wood Release' progress bar has officially passed the halfway mark, while 'Molten Release', 'Ice Release', and 'Storm Release' have reached one-third of their respective levels.

The slowest is 'Dust Release'. Compared to other bloodline limits, as a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of three chakra nature transformations, its evolution speed is slightly slower, and it has only just passed one-fifth of the stage.

However, Qingming wasn't in a hurry.

As I said before, he doesn't expect these bloodline limits and bloodline eliminations to improve his aptitude now.

So, just take it slow.

Finally, Qingming turned his attention to 'Chakra Refining Technique' and 'Chakra Control'.

The former remained stable, accumulating 24 proficiency points every day. Over seven months, it accumulated more than 5,000 evolution points.

Now, the progress bar has reached one-third of its full length.

But it's 'chakra control'.
After more than seven months of improvement, his proficiency has reached level 9 (97940/100000), just over two thousand proficiency points away from advancing again.

This time, the level has been upgraded to lv10 (0/0).

Based on experience with other skills advancing to level 10, once this skill is upgraded, its effect will inevitably be greatly enhanced.

At that time, all his spiritual practice plans will be affected.

And this impact will inevitably be positive.

Therefore, Qingming was very much looking forward to it.
