Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 631: Successive Promotion
The next day.

early morning.

After Qingming washed up and filled his stomach, he took a patrol mission from Nara Qiguang and left Yujin Port.

He did not bring anyone else on this mission.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to bring it, but that he can’t.

Because this time his patrol range not only included an area near Yuzu Port, but also included several other strongholds that were fighting with the Mist Ninja.

He even had to pay attention to the actions of Kirigakure in Wave Country across the strait.

It is obvious that Nara Keiko wants to make full use of his advantage in flying to collect as much information as possible from all aspects.

Qingming had nothing to say about this.

After leaving Yujin Port, he directly used the "Shadow Clone Technique" to create three shadow clones.

After letting them each be responsible for an area, they went to find a remote corner to practice.

For him, who has already mastered 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Mind-opening Technique' to perfection, there is no need for him to personally take part in such a mission; sending out a few shadow clones will be enough.

As long as the information can be delivered back in time, I believe that even if Nara Keiko knows that he is being lazy, he will not say anything.

Putting the mission aside for the time being, Qingming came to the place where he practiced last night.

After removing the 'protective seal' at his brow, Qing Ming concentrated his mind, opened his white eyes, and flew around the area. After confirming that there was no one around, he landed on the ground.

Without wasting any time, he directly used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and created eight shadow clones.

Qingming assigned tasks to the eight people.

One of them practiced the 'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken', one practiced the 'Water Style: Great Samedan Technique', and the other practiced the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique'.

Of the remaining five, two were practicing 'Chakra Feather Robe' and 'Shadow Sword Technique' respectively, while three were studying 'Chakra Absorption Technique', 'Guardian Seal', and 'Sealing Array'.

Because there is more time today, Qing Ming did not split out too many shadow clones to practice together, basically ensuring that in each time period, there is only one shadow clone practicing the same skill.

In this way, the effect of every chakra can be maximized.

After the arrangements were completed, Qing Ming waved his hand and let the eight shadow clones leave.

As for himself, he began to practice the "Art of Palm Immortal" and the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".

Among them, the former needs to persist for more than two months before his body can transform again and thus improve the "physique" attribute.

For the latter, it would only take a little over a month for his Mangekyō Sharingan's evolution to break through the (30000/50000) mark.

However, before that, his 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' might be able to be promoted to perfection first.

Now, for the lv8 'Mind-Reflecting Technique', on average, every two points of proficiency increase will increase the degree of evolution of his Sharingan by one point.

And after it is promoted to lv9 (0/0), it is estimated that a little proficiency will increase it a little.

This will undoubtedly be a huge improvement.

With such hope in mind, Qingming gradually entered a state of cultivation.

······
In a flash, it was the third day.

The past two days have been eerily quiet.

Two days ago, Kirigakure's evacuation of Yuzu Port seemed to have become a landmark event.

Since then, the Kirigakure troops still staying on the eastern border of the Land of Fire have almost given up their plans to attack.

Every day he stayed in the only remaining stronghold, waiting for the attack of the Konoha troops.

The rest, nothing was done.

This makes Qingming's patrol mission extremely simple.

It was for this reason that his cultivation had gone very smoothly over the past two days.

And with the arrival of noon on the third day, another of his skills was upgraded.

In the remote forest, Qingming opened his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

After a brief pause, he raised his right hand and made a stroke in the air in front of him. His fingers seemed to touch something, but also seemed to touch nothing.

A strange feeling emerged in his heart, and Qingming murmured: "Is it an illusion?"

As he spoke, he opened the proficiency panel.

就看到，其上‘封物法阵’已经晋级，熟练度从lv5（3990/5000）升到了lv6（10/10000）。

The changes brought about by this not only allowed him to create a larger space sealing scroll, but also greatly improved his perception of space. It was also because of this that he had the illusion that he could touch the space at will.

That’s right, Qingming had already made a judgment, and what happened just now was just his illusion.

Indeed, his spatial perception ability has improved, but it has not yet reached the level of touching space.

However, even so, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when learning other space-time ninjutsu in the future.

What's more, this is only level 6.

When his 'Sealing Array' is upgraded to level 7 (0/0) and undergoes a qualitative change, the rewards it will bring to him will probably be even greater.

By then, his talent in space-time ninjutsu will probably reach a new level.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Qing Ming closed the panel, took out the scroll and pen and ink he carried with him from his ninja tool bag, and remade a sealing scroll with a larger space.

After putting all his belongings in it, he began to practice again.

······
In a flash, the time came to night.

Moon stars are rare.

Qing Ming stood up, and while the chakra in his body was at a low level, he quickly began to practice the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang~
Accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke dissipating.

The jungle, which had seemed empty, was immediately filled with people.

These people all looked the same. After staying for a few seconds, they disappeared.

However, this is just the beginning.

In the following time, these figures kept appearing and disappearing, with occasional pauses in between, but never for too long.

The whole process was like a haunted place, which made people feel cold.

If an ordinary person came here at this moment, he would probably be frightened to death.

However, this was just Qing Ming repeatedly practicing the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', and every pause in between was a summary of his gains.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after Qing Ming repeated it almost two hundred times, he suddenly stopped.

Closing his eyes, Qingming comprehended for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he had a new understanding of the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' in his mind.

At this moment, Qing Ming knew that his 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' had been upgraded.

With this thought, Qing Ming raised his hands, crossed them to form the "壬" character seal, and once again performed the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, hundreds of figures appeared in the forest.

From the outside, these shadow clones were no different from the ones he created at level 7, but Qing Ming knew that the chakra consumption was less.

In the past, when he was at level 7, every time he performed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', he would consume at least % of his current chakra.

Now, that number is four percent.

Even though it's only a one percentage point decrease, it's still because of his huge chakra volume!
With his current chakra level of 200,000 points, this 1% would be 2,000 points.

Two thousand chakra points
This was enough for him to unleash several powerful ninjutsu.

Not to mention, 200,000 chakra points is not his limit.

As his chakra volume increases in the future, the gold content of this 1% will continue to increase.

Of course, all of the above are calculated when dozens or hundreds of shadow clones are created at one time.

If one only creates one or two shadow clones and is not in a hurry to take them back, then the chakra that is shared by the original body and will not be consumed cannot be ignored.

In this way, the loss will not reach the 5% or 4% mentioned previously.

In other words, under normal circumstances, when Qing Ming uses this technique, it won't consume too much energy.

In addition, after his 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' was upgraded to level 8, the stability of the shadow clones created was also improved compared to before.

Although it still cannot withstand attacks from sharp weapons, it will not disappear just because of a single ninjutsu.

Keeping all these changes in mind, Qing Ming did not waste any more time and repeated the previous exercise.

Indeed, his 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' was advanced, but his training plan for this technique today was not completed, so he had to continue practicing.
