Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1166 Testing and Scheming (Bonus Chapter)

Shaking his head inwardly, Qingming stopped thinking about it. He closed the panel, opened his ninja tool bag, took out a few enhanced soldier pills, and put them in his mouth.

He chewed a few times, then swallowed the ration pills.

Feeling the heat gradually spreading in his abdomen, Qingming wasted no more time and immediately raised his hands to form a hand seal, unleashing the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, nine hundred shadow clones appeared.

Qingming skillfully packed them into a scroll, then raised his hand to form a hand seal, casting the 'Wood Clone Technique' to create a wooden clone.

"Go!"

Looking at the wooden clone, Qingming handed the scroll in his hand to the other party and then casually said.

Upon hearing this, the wooden clone nodded, then took the scroll and flew into the sky, heading towards the Land of Fire.

Watching him leave, Qingming withdrew his gaze.

He then mobilized the chakra within the alternate dimension between his eyebrows to replenish his own chakra.

Then, he raised his hands again to form a hand seal and unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

This time, he created two hundred and twenty shadow clones.

These shadow clones were what he used to develop the Bloodline Limit, so Qingming simply waved them away.

After doing all this, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the volcano below Moon Island and began a new round of physical enhancement.

Without that invisible constraint, he once again clearly felt the progress.

Moreover, this time, his progress was even faster.

Undoubtedly, this is because his physical endurance has increased.

So, Qingming gradually increased the amount of Sage Chakra he mobilized, constantly testing his limits while strengthening his body.

However, it is clear that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight; he needs to try again and again before he can finally get a more accurate result.

And so, Qingming repeatedly used the 'Extreme Body Technique' to strengthen his body.

Before we knew it, it was late at night.

Inside the volcano.

After finishing his final round of cultivation, Qingming activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and teleported to Moon Island.

Taking advantage of the healing of his injuries, he carefully examined his body.

Then, based on the changes in his body over the past few hours, he summarized the extent to which his physical endurance had increased after this 'physical constitution' attribute enhancement.

Or it should be calculated based on how much chakra it can withstand.
Before this physical transformation, he could only withstand a maximum of 240 million points of chakra infusion per day.

Now, that number has become 300 million points, 60 million more than before.

This increase, while not as significant as the 110 million points gained when his 'Constitution' attribute increased from 39 to 40 points last time.

However, considering that the last improvement was due to a qualitative change in his physical body, Qingming could understand why the improvement this time was 60 million points.

Also, don't think that his physical endurance has increased by only 25% this time.

In fact, according to the latest tests, his efficiency in enhancing his body has increased by about 30%.

This is undoubtedly somewhat illogical.

In the past, after each physical transformation, the increase in the efficiency of his physical enhancement was generally less than the increase in his physical endurance.

For example, if the body's endurance increases by more than 30%, the efficiency of body strengthening can only increase by about 30%.

This time, however, the increase in his physical enhancement efficiency exceeded the increase in chakra input. There is only one reason for this: after the Rinnegan was activated, the effect of his eye technique, 'Human Defense,' was enhanced, thereby increasing his chakra utilization efficiency.

That's why it's possible to increase chakra input by only 25%, but improve body enhancement efficiency by 30%.

However, a 25% improvement is still quite significant. With the addition of these 60 million chakra points, his daily chakra deficit will increase from 1773.2 million (5773.2 - 40 million) to 7773.2 million (1773.2 + 60 million).

Qingming sensed the wood clones he had buried in various parts of Moon Island to store chakra and secretly made some calculations.

Finally, he concluded that this amount of chakra could only sustain him for about eight months at most.

If you include the more than 200 million chakra points he accumulates on his rest days every ten days, he can last for about a year.

"A year?"

Qingming pondered for a moment.

A year is roughly enough time for his body to undergo two more transformations.

At that time, the 'Constitution' attribute will be raised to 43 points, and the gap between it and the 'Spirit' attribute will be reduced to two points.

Once the pressure is relieved, he might be able to ensure he has enough chakra by increasing the frequency of his rest.

Of course, this would inevitably prolong the time it takes for his body to transform, but he had no choice but to do so in order to ensure that he had enough chakra.

Of course, all of the above are just his ideas for now. Whether or not they will be implemented, and how they will be implemented, remains to be seen.

After all, there are still many uncertainties during this period.

For example, can his body undergo two transformations in a year, and how much more chakra needs to be invested after each transformation?

And whether his increased chakra recovery can make up for this shortfall, and so on.

He needs to take things one step at a time.

Therefore, for the time being, he doesn't need to make any long-term plans.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it. With a thought, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and recalled all the shadow clones.

Then, he began to absorb and digest the cultivation experience and memories of these shadow clones over the past hour.

It's worth mentioning that as the amount of chakra needed to be invested in strengthening his body increased, he was also forced to create more shadow clones to absorb natural energy.

And that number is 1,100!

At the same time, this is about the limit he can create; any more would affect the efficiency of each shadow clone in absorbing natural energy.

At that time, it will only be less effective and waste more chakra.

Of course, as his chakra limit increases, he can create even more shadow clones.

However, judging from the current rate at which his chakra is increasing to strengthen his body, it is clearly not keeping up.

Therefore, he still needs to put the plan to search for Shigeo's hometown on the agenda as soon as possible.

That's right, it's Jugo's hometown.

He had this idea a long time ago. Based on his judgment, the place where the other party was born was most likely a node where the natural energy of the ninja world converged from the three holy lands.

There is no doubt that the natural energy there is extremely abundant.

If it can be found, it will greatly increase the speed at which he absorbs natural energy.

In this way, there is no need to create more shadow clones.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about them. He focused his mind and continued to absorb the memories in his mind and digest the cultivation experience contained within them.

And so, time passed by, minute by minute.
