Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1157 Huge Consumption

Back in the village, Qingming had a good rest for a day.

During this time, he did not even recover any excess chakra.

Thus, on the third day, he arrived at Moon Island early and began accumulating the last bit of evolutionary progress for his Sharingan.

He sat cross-legged on the open ground in the center of Moon Island, adjusting his state of mind.

Once everything was ready, he used the 'Mind Reflection Technique' to stimulate the Sharingan's evolution.

As time ticked by, waves of special chakra were generated in his brain under the stimulation of his 'Mind Reflection Technique'.

Then, it continuously flooded into his eyes, entered the nerves of his eyes, and prompted them to evolve.

However, last time, it only took him twenty minutes to accumulate the last bit of evolution power in his Sharingan, from (89999/100000) to (90000/100000).

And now.
A full half hour passed, and Qingming still didn't feel any significant changes, let alone break through.

However, with the proficiency panel available, he wasn't worried about doing useless work.

So, Qingming calmed down and stopped paying attention to the passage of time, focusing solely on using the 'Mind Reflection Technique' to stimulate the evolution of his Sharingan.

And so, without realizing it, he entered a state of complete absorption.

At a certain moment, a feeling of unease came over him, and Qingming suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the sun was already directly overhead.

Qingming had no time to pay attention to these things. With a thought, he opened the panel.

On it, the progress bar after his 'Sharingan: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan' suddenly flickered and abruptly changed from (99999/100000) to (100000/100000).

At that very moment, an immense suction force emanated from his eyes.

Almost instinctively, Qingming knew that his eyes were about to evolve and he urgently needed a large amount of chakra as 'fuel'.

Without any hesitation, he immediately released control over the chakra within his body, allowing it to follow his instincts and surge entirely into his eyes.

His panel then changed.

On it, his 'Sharingan: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (100000/100000)' suddenly disappeared, and in its place was 'Rinnegan: Unawakened (0/100)'.

This immediately reminded Qingming of the proficiency panel he had seen when he first transmigrated.

Back then, his Sharingan displayed the same way before it was awakened.

However, the only difference is that back then, his Sharingan needed to be stimulated by the "Mind Reflection Technique" to awaken.

Now, all that's needed is to invest chakra. He has already met all the previous awakening conditions, and even if there are any shortcomings, they are forcibly made up for by the proficiency panel.

So, he just needs to wait.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

Soon, all the chakra in his body was absorbed by his eyes.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately released the 'Sealing of All Things in the World' from between his eyebrows, releasing all the chakra stored inside into his body to continue supplying the Rinnegan for consumption and absorption.

However, even after his chakra was completely depleted again, he still did not see the Rinnegan's awakening progress by even a single step.

This caused Qingming's expression to change.

It should be noted that his own chakra, plus the chakra stored in the alternate dimension between his eyebrows, has reached tens of millions of points.

If so much chakra couldn't even increase the awakening level of the Rinnegan, then the amount of chakra required for complete awakening is simply unimaginable.

However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately used the 'Mind Communication Technique' to summon ten wooden clones that were sleeping near the wooden house.

Each of these wood clones contains 50 million points of chakra. Qingming doesn't believe that having these ten wood clones isn't enough to increase the awakening level of the Rinnegan.

As it turned out, he had worried unnecessarily.

The chakra replenished by just the first wood clone increased his Rinnegan awakening progress from (0/100) to (1/100)!
At that very moment, the powerful suction disappeared.

In other words, he can now freely control the injection of chakra.

It has to be said that this process was quite dangerous. If he didn't have enough chakra reserves, those eyes would probably have directly drained his physical and mental energy. If that had happened, his foundation would have been severely damaged. Even if he didn't suffer the same fate as Nagato, his 'physical' attribute could have decreased by several points.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

However, Qingming's mind wasn't on that right now; he just wanted to know how much chakra the Rinnegan had absorbed from him.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, Qingming got the result—one hundred million points!

That's right, just now, his Rinnegan absorbed a full 100 million points of his chakra.

The key point is that his Rinnegan awakening progress has only increased slightly.

This made Qingming gasp in surprise.

"Does this mean that every subsequent step of awakening requires this much chakra?"

With this thought flashing through his mind, Qingming immediately focused his mind and poured chakra into his eyes once more.

Just like before, he accepted all comers without hesitation. His eyes seemed to have become bottomless pits, absorbing any amount of chakra that was poured in.

One million points. Ten million points. Twenty million points. Fifty million points. Eighty million points.
One hundred million points!

Sure enough, after he retrieved the two wood clones again and increased the chakra injected into his eyes to 100 million points, his awakening progress changed from (1/100) to (2/100)!
"This"

Qingming was at a loss for words.

If this pattern holds true, he would need a full 10 billion points of chakra to fully awaken the Rinnegan.

"This is simply unbelievable!"

Qingming sat cross-legged on the spot, remaining silent for a long time.

However, when he thought about how Madara Uchiha sat on the ground for decades in order to awaken the Rinnegan, and finally almost died of old age before he successfully awakened it, he felt relieved.

After all, he essentially turned decades of others' efforts into a mere 'moment'.

Therefore, it's normal for the energy consumption to be higher.

Moreover, while 10 billion points of chakra may seem like a lot, it's actually not that much.

Not to mention that if he were to focus on recovery every day, he could gain over 140 million usable chakra points. The chakra he has accumulated over the past three years alone would be enough to fill this hole.

After all, before this physical transformation, most of the time, he had a positive amount of chakra left over each day, and the amount was not small.

Thus, coupled with the chakra accumulated from resting for one day every ten days, its total value has already exceeded 10 billion points.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been confident that he could sustain himself for a long time, given that he needed to draw tens of millions of chakra points every day to fill the gap.

The only question now is whether or not he should use that chakra?

It is foreseeable that once he uses this chakra to awaken the Rinnegan, he will not be able to sustain himself for long when he needs chakra to strengthen his body.

But he was somewhat unwilling to see the Rinnegan stuck at its current progress.

"Alas, plans can never keep up with changes, and things always turn out in unexpected ways."

With a sigh, Qingming pondered for a moment and finally decided to awaken the Rinnegan successfully in one go.

Anyway, even without those 10 billion points of chakra, his reserve chakra wouldn't be completely depleted; it would be more than enough for the time being.

Furthermore, his 'spirit' attribute will also be enhanced after the Rinnegan is awakened.

At that time, he will recover at least tens of millions of chakra points every day.

In this way, it also indirectly reduces the pressure on his chakra.

Overall, the impact is not that significant.

Therefore, it can be done!

Having made up his mind, Qingming wasted no more time. He continuously poured chakra into his eyes while summoning his dormant wood clone.

And so, time passed by, minute by minute.
