Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 644: Awkward (asking for monthly ticket!)
on the mountain.

Qing Ming tested the 'Thunder Escape: Thunder Prison' several more times, and only stopped casting the spell after fully understanding its damage and consumption.

After a short rest, Qingming drew out the long sword from his waist.

Next, he will practice 'Lightning Release: Lightning Sword'.

According to the plan, after the 'Lightning Release: Thunder Prison' is completed, the chakra previously allocated to it every day will be used by him to practice this technique.

As for why the shadow clones were not allowed to practice.
It was very simple. He had to first test the energy consumption of practicing 'Lightning Escape: Lightning Sword' so that he could be mentally prepared for its growth rate.

Indeed, in the first two days after acquiring this technique, he had already mastered it and his proficiency had reached level 1 (100/200).

Logically speaking, its consumption is already well understood and no further testing is needed.

But this is not the case.

He had said before that 'Lightning Style: Lightning Sword' was a ninjutsu that combined ninjutsu and swordsmanship.

What affects his growth rate is not only his familiarity with swordsmanship, but also his mastery of lightning-attribute chakra.

At that time, when he started to practice it, 'Lightning Release: Thunder Snake' and 'Lightning Release: Thunder Prison' were not yet perfected!

The former is fine, with the foundation of 'Lightning Escape: Lightning Strike', and after it is perfected, it will not bring much improvement to him.

But the latter is different.

As a B-level ninjutsu that is not easy to learn, his successful promotion directly raised his understanding of lightning-attribute chakra to a higher level.

In this case, he naturally had to test it again.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Qingming recalled the content of "Thunder Escape: Lightning Sword" and began to practice it step by step.

At first, everything seemed normal. It was just like ordinary swordsmanship, nothing special.

But soon, when Qing Ming chopped at the big tree in front of him, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound of electric current, and a charred knife mark appeared on the trunk of the tree.

Even though Qing Ming had stopped moving at this time, he could still see fine electric currents between the tree and the blade.

This is the essence of 'Lightning Release: Lightning Sword'!

When attacking the enemy, it can not only cast illusions on the enemy through lightning, but also paralyze the enemy's nerves through electric current.

This, coupled with the lethality of the blade itself.

It can be said that as long as the enemy is hit with one knife, he will have no chance of escape.

However, to achieve this, the caster obviously needs to have a keen grasp of the opportunity.

The powerful insight of the Sharingan can give Qingming this ability.

It is almost foreseeable that the effect this technique can produce in Qing Ming's hands will definitely far exceed that of that little Lei Yingren.

Qingming put away his sword, thought for a while, and started practicing again.

In this way, he practiced several times.

But somehow, he always felt awkward, as if he shouldn't practice like this.

Qing Ming believed in his own feelings, so he stopped practicing completely and stood there thinking.

His fingers tapped the hilt of the knife, his eyes drifting unconsciously.

At a certain moment, when he saw the long knife in his hand, he suddenly came to his senses.

'Thunder Escape: Lightning Sword', as its name suggests, is a sword technique.

Indeed, in the ninja world, there is no distinction between swords and knives.

But there are still some differences.

Earlier, the reason why he could immediately unleash the full power of the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' and the 'Uchiha-style swordsmanship', as well as the other two swordsmanship after getting the long sword in his hand, was because he had already improved their proficiency to a high enough level before that.

In this way, he could naturally use different ninja tools as he wished. The only lower-level 'Shadow Sword Technique' was also developed by him according to his own fighting style, so there was no problem of incompatibility.

And what about 'Lightning Sword'?

Not only was this second-hand swordsmanship he learned from someone else, but his proficiency was also low.

In this case, if you don't practice according to the requirements of swordsmanship itself, you will naturally feel awkward.

Before, it was fine as long as I tried it briefly, but now that I have to practice formally, I immediately found the problem.

It can be predicted that if he continues to practice like this, with the help of the proficiency panel and the foundation laid by several other sword techniques, he can slowly adapt, but his efficiency will inevitably be compromised.

And this is something Qingming absolutely does not want to accept.

The best way now is to find a sword first, upgrade the level of this technique, and then switch back to the knife in your hand and adapt quickly.

In this way, neither time nor energy will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming muttered: "Fortunately, I kept the sword."

As he spoke, he put away the long sword in his hand and took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag.

After opening it, Qingming raised his hands and formed a seal, saying in a low voice: "Unlock!"

The next moment, a pile of various ninja tools appeared in front of him.

These are all the spoils captured by Qing Ming. They are all some high-quality ninja tools, and are also one of the backup plans he prepared for himself.

Qing Ming took out a short sword that was glowing with cold light, injected a strand of chakra into it, and immediately electric light shot out.

Apparently, it has excellent chakra conductivity.

Qing Ming raised his hand and waved a few times, then nodded with satisfaction.

It is impossible to be dissatisfied because this is the weapon of the little Lei Yingren.

As his main ninja tool, he would naturally choose one that is suitable for the 'Lightning Release: Lightning Sword'.

Therefore, now is just right for him to practice this technique.

Qing Ming put away the dagger and cast the "Sealing Array" again, sealing the ninja tool in front of him into the scroll.

After doing all this, he started practicing 'Lightning Release: Lightning Sword' again.

Sure enough, after changing weapons, that awkward feeling disappeared.

Qing Ming performed this technique more than ten times before finally stopping.

After checking the chakra consumption and the increase in proficiency, Qing Ming finally concluded that practicing this technique can improve proficiency by one point on average for every hundred points of chakra.

In this way, if all the 89000 chakra points invested in 'Lightning Release: Thunder Prison' are put into it, it can gain about 890 points of proficiency every day.

At this rate, it will only take four days for it to be promoted to level 5, producing a qualitative change. After another sixteen days, it will reach the perfect state of level 7 (0/0).

It took a total of 20 days to perfect a B-level ninjutsu.
This speed may not be the fastest, but it is not slow either.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming raised his hands, crossed them to form the "壬" character seal, and performed the technique of multiple shadow clones!

bang~
Accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke exploding.

Six shadow clones appeared on the field.

Qing Ming handed the dagger in his hand to one of them and asked him to practice "Thunder Escape: Lightning Sword".

Then, he arranged the ninjutsu that the other five people needed to practice.

After doing all this, he returned to the place where he had practiced before, and once again performed the "Palm Immortal Technique" and "Heart Reflection Technique", strengthening his body while continuing to improve the evolution of the Sharingan.
