Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1217 Adjustments and Estimates

Having made up his mind, Qingming began to calculate how many days would be most suitable for adjusting the rest frequency.

First, there's the chakra he can use every day.

This mainly consists of four parts: the chakra restored by passively running the 'Chakra Refining Technique' every day, the chakra naturally restored by the body, the chakra provided by the tailed beasts, and the chakra extracted from Danzo's Edo Tensei body and Tashin Shinki.

Currently, his 'Chakra Refining Technique' is still at level 8, and it can restore 7000 chakra points every hour of operation.

Thus, with 24 hours in a day, that's 168,000 points (= 7 * 24).

Furthermore, the body's natural chakra recovery
He had just tested this part after his body completed its transformation in the evening, and it was 52540 million points per day.

Next came the chakra provided by the tailed beasts.
其中，三尾和四尾每天150万点，七尾100万点，半只九尾600万点，加在一起就是1000（=150*2+100+600）万点。

Finally, the chakra was extracted from Princess Tanuki and Danzo.
The former can collect 450 million points every day.

Before activating the Rinnegan, the latter only dared to draw 150 million points, but after activating the Rinnegan, he would draw 2500 million points every day.

如此，四部分加在一起，便是他每天可用的查克拉，即56506.8（16.8+52540+1000+450+2500）万点。

If he wants to train most efficiently, he must invest 63000 million chakra points in physical enhancement every day, as recently tested.

To convert all of it into Sage Chakra, he would need to create approximately 210 shadow clones to absorb natural energy around the clock.

Based on previous experience, the chakra consumed by the 210 shadow clones should be around 420,000 points.

Thus, he consumes 63042 million chakra points in this area every day.

But that's not all.
He also needs to create shadow clones to develop the Bloodline Limit.

With his current chakra limit of 4051 million points, he can create a maximum of 270 shadow clones each time to attempt this.

This requires a whopping 4050 million points of chakra.

63042 + 4050 = 67092!

In other words, if he were to cultivate at full speed now, he would need to consume 67092 million chakra points per day to meet the requirements.

This number is 10585.2 million points more than the 56506.8 million chakra points he can use every day.

56506.8 divided by 10585.2 is approximately equal to 5.3!

In other words, he now rests every five days or so, and the chakra he accumulates on those days is just enough to cover the chakra he lacks during his regular training.

If that's the case, the situation is quite clear.

Five days?

Qingming pondered for a moment, then made a decision to take a break every five days from now on.

In this way, one can maintain a state of spiritual practice most efficiently.

As for the extra 40 million chakra points gained from each round of arduous training...
Consider this a reserve for unforeseen circumstances!
Various thoughts flashed through Qingming's mind. He glanced at the time; it was already very late.

So he stopped thinking about it and got up. He used a few 'instant teleportation' techniques to get to a wooden house on a corner of the island. After washing up quickly, he started to rest.

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

Qingming got up early.

Since he still had some chakra left over for future use, he planned to train for a few more days until he had exhausted all of it before returning to the village to rest.

After that, he began his cultivation according to the new plan.

Without hesitation, Qingming quickly finished washing up and went to the open space in the center of Moon Island. He used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' twice, creating a total of 480 shadow clones, and began a new round of cultivation.

And just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

three days later.

Evening. Qingming returned to Konoha.

The situation in Konoha remained the same as before. Although they still hadn't found any clues about Orochimaru, neither the village nor the Uchiha clan had let their guard down.

Or rather, it was precisely because they couldn't find any trace of Orochimaru that they became even more cautious.

However, none of this affected Qingming. He only stayed in the village for a day, and after accumulating enough chakra, he returned to Moon Island to begin a new round of arduous training.

······
Sunrise and sunset.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It was September now.

The weather is starting to get cooler.

In the past two weeks, Qingming has taken two breaks, and today is the fourth day of his arduous training.

Based on his training over the past two weeks, he has gained a very clear understanding of the efficiency with which he is strengthening his body, and has estimated the time required for this physical transformation.

In fact, after a week of cultivation, he would be able to draw conclusions as he always had.

However, considering that he had adjusted his cultivation plan this time, in order to prevent the estimation results from being inaccurate, he tested for another week before making a judgment.

According to his estimate, if he continues to cultivate at his current rest and recuperation frequency, it will take him about six and a half months to bring his body to the critical point of transformation.

Even subtracting the past ten days of training, it will still take about six months.

Without a doubt, this timeframe far exceeds the four months that took him during his last physical transformation.

But that's the reality, there's nothing we can do about it.

In fact, it was during these six months that his 'Dust Escape' technique advanced, which greatly reduced the difficulty of strengthening his body.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be half the time, but double, requiring eight months.

"Chakra."

Having estimated this result in his mind, Qingming couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Ultimately, all of this stems from his insufficient chakra.

If he had enough chakra, he could continue to rest every ten days as before.

This will significantly reduce the time required.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that much chakra.

Shaking his head inwardly, Qingming stopped thinking about it. He checked his own condition and felt that he had rested enough, so he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again to begin a new round of training.

Rather than wallowing in self-pity, he prefers to prove through concrete actions that his time has not been wasted.

Moreover, six months isn't a very long time!

It's mid-September now, and in six months, that is, next March.

According to his estimate, he will be able to successfully develop the Bloodline Limit by around April next year.

At that time, his mind and body will be in perfect balance, and with the power boost from mastering the Bloodline Limit, he might even be able to face the Sage of Six Paths head-on.

By then, he wouldn't be able to take as much chakra as he wanted from the Pure Land over the years, but he could certainly draw a little more to satisfy his own cultivation needs.

In other words, as long as he can get through the next six months, his cultivation speed will return to its previous most efficient state.

He could even create shadow clones of the several immortal techniques on the panel to cultivate.

　I took several days off, and the first day back at work was quite busy. Although they were all trivial matters, they were still annoying. I worked overtime a bit late, so I'll only post one update today. I'll start posting three updates a day from tomorrow to make up for my missed work!
