Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1184 Advancement and Impact

The next day.

Qingming slept until he woke up naturally.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already overhead, and the warm winter sunlight shone on his face through the cracks in the window, making him squint.

Turning over, Qingming stared at the ceiling, lay there for a while, and then sat up in bed.

Then, he stretched lazily and groaned, "That feels good!"

He slept very comfortably that night.

Not only do they not have to endure the extreme pressure of strong mental energy on their bodies, but they also don't have to think about cultivation. How can they not relax?
"Whoo~"

With a light breath, Qingming threw off the covers, rolled over, and jumped off the bed.

Afterwards, he left his bedroom, washed up, changed into casual clothes, and went out to find something to eat.

He'd already missed breakfast, and he didn't want to miss lunch either.

Having finally gotten a day off, he had to make up for all the suffering he had endured over the past ten days.

So, on this day, he did nothing but eat and play, occasionally creating a wooden clone to store the chakra that his body was naturally recovering.

As for other matters related to cultivation, nothing was done.

And just like that, the day passed quickly.

Time comes the next day.

Qingming left the village early and headed to Moon Island again.

Upon arriving at Moon Island, his first action was to check his surroundings to make sure that no one had been there while he was away the previous day.

In the past, although he took this step seriously, he wasn't particularly meticulous.

But now, although he has silenced Ito and the others, Orochimaru has most likely already located this place.

Therefore, he had no choice but to be extra careful.

Fortunately, with his white eyes, these examinations weren't too difficult for him.

It took Qingming about ten minutes to survey everything within a ten-kilometer radius. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he began a new round of cultivation.

As for his cultivation plan, he had already made it in advance.

From now on, everything can proceed step by step.

Time passes day by day.

Soon, Qingming immersed himself completely in it.

As we all know, time often flies by in such circumstances.

Before you know it, a month has passed.

This afternoon.

When Qingming finished another round of 'Body Limit' training, returned to Moon Island, deactivated 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', retrieved all the shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their training experience and memories from the past hour, an unusual chakra fluctuation emanated from him.

Immediately, Qingming sat cross-legged on the ground.

Then, his expression changed, as if he was trying to control something.

In fact, it is true.

After more than a month of evolution, his 'Ice Release' has finally accumulated the last bit of evolution points needed for advancement.

Currently, its evolution has broken through the original barrier and reached the same level as the previously advanced 'Wood Release', which is the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As a result, his genes began to change, and his bloodline limit briefly went out of control, constantly converting his chakra into ice release chakra.

Right now, he's trying to control these ice-style chakra.

However, because he needed to devote some of his attention to changes in other bloodline limits and even his physical body, his control was not perfect.

Then, wisps of cold air began to emanate from his body, spreading rapidly across the entire island like a thick fog. Back when he advanced his Wood Release technique, the leaked Wood Release chakra at most caused the nearby vegetation to grow a little more lush; it wasn't a big deal.

But now, the ice-style chakra leaking from his body carries an aura that can freeze everything. The surrounding plants and trees that come into contact with it lose their vitality in a short time.

It's not just the plants and trees; some of the island's small animals are even more vulnerable, losing their lives the moment they are frozen in ice.

However, some insects, with their exceptionally strong vitality and heightened sense of danger, had already burrowed into the soil before the cold fog arrived, so they haven't all died yet.

However, it is foreseeable that if this situation continues for a little longer, then neither flowers, trees, nor snakes, insects, rodents and ants will be able to survive.

At that time, the entire Moon Island will become a desolate wasteland.

However, Qingming had no interest in paying attention to any of these things at the moment.

Now, all his attention is on himself.

Time passes minute by minute.

More than half an hour later.

Qingming finally opened his eyes again.

"Whoo~~~"

In the midst of a snow-covered landscape, he let out a long breath.

Immediately, a white mist formed in front of him and lingered for a long time.

Qingming glanced around, then looked to his left and right, and frowned slightly as he sensed the island where life had been almost completely extinguished.

Kakakka~
Qingming broke free from the ice crystals binding his body and stood up.

Looking at the entire island covered in ice crystals, he thought for a moment and then activated 'Ice Release', releasing the chakra within his body, which covered the entire island in the blink of an eye.

Then, the chakra merged with the ice crystals on the island, and with a thought, he caused the ice crystals to vanish into nothingness.

It's easy to see from his effortless movements that his mastery of 'Ice Release' has reached an extremely high level, far surpassing what he was before.

In fact, not only compared to himself, but also compared to all the ninjas in the history of the ninja world who have developed bloodline limits, there is probably no one stronger than him.

After all, based on his actual experience, it was absolutely impossible to control this level of 'ice release' power without at least forty points of 'spirit' attribute.

Even if one reaches forty points, it can only barely guarantee one's survival. To completely control this power, it is simply impossible without at least forty-three points of mental strength.

If the value is below this, then even if it is forcibly activated, it will eventually lose control completely the moment it is activated, and ultimately backfire on itself.

To reach a mental strength level of 40 or higher, without special circumstances, it can only be achieved through a handful of means, such as activating the Rinnegan.

These channels are simply not accessible to the average person.

Therefore, Qingming concluded that in the history of the ninja world, no one should know more about 'Ice Release' than him.

However, there's nothing to be proud of.

After all, the power of 'Ice Release' is only so-so.

Pulling his thoughts back, Qingming looked at the desolate Moon Island, thought for a moment, and then stretched out his hand again, releasing a burst of chakra.

However, this time, he did not use 'Ice Release', but instead used the power of 'Wood Release' to convert a large amount of Wood Release chakra.

Just like before, this chakra quickly covered the entire island and invaded the underground.

Once this life-giving chakra entered the earth, it stimulated the roots and stems of the still-living plants.

As a result, Moon Island underwent a complete transformation. In the blink of an eye, the vegetation was completely replaced, and the withered and desolate atmosphere was gone, replaced by full of vitality.

Not only the plants, but even the insects underground were infused with Yang Release chakra, instantly transforming them from a near-death state into a vibrant and energetic one.

The only regrettable thing is that the animals were frozen immediately, so almost none of them survived.

However, nothing is perfect. Saving these plants and insects is already quite an achievement. As for the animals, we'll deal with them later.
Now, he can only accept the fact that animals on Moon Island are almost extinct.
