Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 544 Patience and Improvement
After half an hour.

Kai stopped narrating and Danzo closed his eyes.

He began to recall everything he had just heard in his mind, and at the same time connected it with all the information he had obtained in the past about Qing Ming, and deduced various possibilities.

His fingers tapped the table, making an intermittent "tapping" sound.

Time passes minute by minute.

At some point, the sound stopped.

Then, Danzo opened his eyes.

Then, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, containing an unconcealable greed.

But soon, this greed was hidden by him, and he muttered: "Don't be impatient. Don't be impatient. I have to try it again."

Hearing Danzo's mumbling, Jia said, "Sir, are you preparing for the next operation?"

Danzo came to his senses after hearing this. He was about to agree when he suddenly remembered Sarutobi Hiruzen's warning.

It can be predicted that the Anbu will definitely keep a close eye on him now. If his guess is correct, then the value of that Uchiha brat is too huge.

Danzo raised his right arm with some effort, touched his right eye sealed under the bandage, and thought to himself: "A three-magatama Sharingan has such power, if it is a Mangekyō Sharingan, then..."

That’s right, just as Qingming expected, although his actions this time were clean and neat, they also aroused Danzo’s suspicion.

If her suspicion about him opening the Mangekyō Sharingan was "1" before, it is now at least "10".

This aroused his greedy nature.

However, Danzo finally held back. He looked at the two Root Ninjas below and said in a serious voice: "A, from now on, stop all actions against Uchiha Qingming."

"Yes, my lord!"

Jia didn't ask why, he just did what Danzo told him to do.

Looking at the two people standing still below, Danzo nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he chose not to move Qingming for the time being was not because he was afraid of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but because he was worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen would intercept him.

According to his understanding of this old friend, once his guess is confirmed and the other party learns of the relevant information, he will definitely choose to win him over.

By then, it won’t be so easy for him to succeed.

So, he chose to endure for the time being.

However, what he didn't know was that it was this patience that made him miss his last chance.

Of course, even if he did not choose to endure and took action by force, there would be no possibility of success.

With Qingming's current strength, if he is not afraid to expose his Sharingan, there will be few people in the entire ninja world who can defeat him.

But this would disrupt his plans.

However, by then, he would definitely not let Danzo go.

Therefore, Danzo should be thankful that he did not continue to attack, otherwise he might have lost his life.

Qingming didn't know about Danzo's choice. At this time, he was still practicing according to the plan.

On the other hand, Kirigakure’s choice was also within his expectations.

In the past two days, the Mist Ninjas of Feiyu Town have not caused any trouble near the Black Stone Stronghold, and it seems that they will not do so for some time.

That night.

Qing Ming completed the first stage of training and returned to the Black Stone Stronghold. He took today’s stronghold briefing, quickly read through it, and came to this conclusion.

Thinking back then, he forcibly captured Aburame Musei from the team of Mist Ninjas that cut off their retreat. If he had been more ruthless, he could have created one or two more shadow clones and wiped them out.

However, he did not do so in order to leave a clue.

There is no doubt that his act of forcibly charging into the formation to capture people was very abnormal. As long as Kirigakure reviews this action afterwards, they will definitely notice this. At that time, if they conduct a further investigation, they will definitely find that their people have been replaced.

In this case, considering the subsequent results of the battle, one will inevitably have doubts.

In this way, they naturally dare not act rashly.

After all, no one knows whether there is a second Aburame Wuying in their team?
Therefore, they will definitely not launch an attack easily before completing the internal investigation.

This gave Qingming an excellent opportunity to practice.

According to his previous calculations, his 'Palm Immortal Technique' would be able to advance to perfection in about five days. Now almost two days had passed. Even if there was some delay in the middle, his 'Palm Immortal Technique' would be advanced in four days at most.

By then, the strengthening effect of this technique on his body will definitely be greatly increased.

In this way, his body transformation will be advanced.

Once his body undergoes another transformation, his 'physique' attribute will increase, which will definitely promote the improvement of his abilities in all aspects.

Especially this time his "Constitution" attribute broke through the 19-point level from 20 points, so the improvement must be even greater.

Qingming was looking forward to this.

Thinking of this, he put down the briefing in his hand, quickly ate something, and after filling his stomach, he returned to his residence and began to practice overtime.

······
Sunset and sunrise.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

It was noon on the fourth day.

West side of the stronghold.

That forest.

Qingming is practicing the 'Palm Immortal Technique' step by step to strengthen his body.

Suddenly, a feeling of completeness and perfection came over me.

Qing Ming's face lit up with joy, and he quickly opened the panel and took a look. As expected, his 'Palm Immortal Technique' had been upgraded, directly from lv8 (48720/50000) to the perfect state of lv9 (0/0).

This was also his first A-level ninjutsu that he had improved to perfection, and Qingming was very happy.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. After he calmed down again, Qingming used the 'Palm Immortal Technique' again to strengthen his body.

As he predicted, the effect of strengthening the body was greatly increased by the lv9 (0/0) perfect state of the 'Palm Immortal Technique'.

Originally, it would take about ten days for his body to reach the critical point of transformation.

And now.
Qing Ming felt it carefully and felt that if he continued to invest the maximum of 36000 chakra points as before, this time should be shortened to about six days.

Saving nearly half the time is a huge improvement.

You know, this is not just the next transformation, every time after that, you can save almost the same amount of time.

In this way, the speed at which his strength improves will inevitably increase greatly.

How could Qingming not be happy about this!

In addition, after the "Palm Immortal Art" is promoted to the perfect state, the treatment effect is also greatly improved, and the understanding of Yang attribute chakra is also improved.
Qing Ming closed his eyes and pondered for a while. He felt that if he put in some effort, he could also develop a Yang Dun secret technique similar to the Akimichi clan's body enlargement technique.

Unfortunately, it is not necessary.

Not to mention that he has too many things to do now and is too busy to handle it all. Even if he had the time, he would not waste his energy on this.

There is no other reason. This kind of secret technique is of little use to him for the time being.

As for after
If he really needed it, he could have obtained it directly from the Akimichi clan through hard power, negotiation, or infiltration. There was really no need to develop a set on his own.
