Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 727: Secret and Cultivation

After casually registering in the lobby on the first floor, Qing Ming took the Konoha spy straight to the third floor where the Hokage's office was located.

Soon, the two arrived outside the Hokage's office.

Qingming glanced at the Anbu guarding the gates on both sides.

He didn't recognize one of them, but Qingming recognized the other one at a glance.

It was none other than Kakashi Hatake who has recently become famous again.

Even though he didn't pay much attention to the outside world, Qing Ming still vaguely heard the rumors about the so-called 'cold-blooded Kakashi'.

Rumor has it that after he entered the Anbu, he killed no hostile ninja alive in all the missions he carried out.

Sometimes, even his teammates were very afraid of him.

The two looked at each other through the masks, and Qingming clearly saw from the other's eyes the indifference to life and the strong and almost unshakable determination to die.

Only someone who doesn't take his own life seriously can display such ability in an Anbu mission.

However, it must be said that this is a good way to increase combat experience.

Looking back, if it weren't for this experience, Kakashi probably wouldn't have been able to grow into a ninja who could stand on his own.

But then again, is this what the other party wants?
Qingming doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know.

He withdrew his gaze, shook his head secretly, and stopped thinking about it. He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office in front of him.

dong dong dong~
Soon, a gentle voice came from inside.

"Please come in!"

Hearing this, Qingming pushed open the door and walked in one after the other with the Konoha spy.

bang~
The door was closed again.

Seeing the two people coming in, Namikaze Minato's gaze first lingered on the Konoha spy, and then he said to Qingming: "Qingming, you did a good job this time!"

Qing Ming heard this and replied modestly: "This is what I should do, Fourth Generation Master."

Namikaze Minato smiled and did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he said seriously: "Well, tell me about the mission!"

Hearing this, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all and immediately told everything he had done since he set out.

Of course, matters concerning the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Byakugan were either glossed over or simply ignored.

In short, the secret was not revealed at all.

In this regard, Minato Namikaze also heard some problems, but did not delve into it further.

Because everyone has secrets, especially Qingming, who was able to kill Danzo and a group of Root elites, and he has even bigger secrets.

However, Minato Namikaze didn't care.

He just wants to lead Konoha Village and the Land of Fire to move forward in a good way.

As for the others.
As long as it does not harm the village and does not violate the moral bottom line, he can turn a blind eye.

Time passes minute by minute.

It took about a quarter of an hour for Qingming to finish describing the mission.

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and asked some irrelevant questions. Qingming did not hide anything and answered them all one by one.

After that, Minato Namikaze announced that his mission was over and he could leave.

Hearing this, Qing Ming glanced at the Konoha spy who had remained silent from beginning to end, and then left on his own.

What happened next really had little to do with him.

As for what kind of forbidden technique the Hidden Cloud Village has developed.
Qingming was indeed a little curious.

But when he was detoxifying and healing the other party, he didn't find any relevant clues from him, so he stopped paying attention to him.

For him now, the value of a forbidden technique is just that.

What's more, judging from the existing intelligence, the access control technique is obviously more suitable for the battlefield, which is not very attractive to him who is pursuing the growth of his own strength.

Instead of spending time to get to the bottom of it and satisfy his curiosity, he might as well seize the time to practice so that the "Eight Trigrams Seal" can be completed as soon as possible, thus fully realizing the value of the Seven Tails. Now, he still has four secret techniques waiting to be practiced!
Thinking of this, Qing Ming could no longer sit still. He immediately quickened his pace, left the Hokage Building and returned to his home.

Then, he raised his hand, formed a seal, and performed the "Shadow Clone Technique", creating a shadow clone.

After letting him stay at home, Qing Ming used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and came to the island in the southern waters of the Fire Country.

That's right, even though the moon was already mid-moon, he had no intention of taking a rest.

Today's urgent mission has already wasted a lot of his time. He needs to practice for a while before going to bed to make up for today's losses.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming raised his hands and formed seals, performing the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

bang~
As a large cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, nearly a hundred figures appeared on the scene.

That’s right, this time, Qing Ming directly created shadow clones that were several times more than before.

Since there is not enough time, we have to make up for it with quantity.

Indeed, if multiple shadow clones practice the same skill at the same time, it will inevitably result in a large waste of chakra.

But, it doesn't matter.
He hasn't consumed much chakra today!

Those few hours of flying and fighting in the forest did consume some of his chakra.

But this consumption is nothing compared to the 1016000 chakra points he can freely use every day.

What's more, he has an extra 200,000 chakra points provided by the Seven-Tails.

Most of these chakras have not been used yet.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about the loss at all. He just needs to create as many shadow clones as possible within the range of his mental endurance, practice together, and improve his proficiency.

As for these chakras, which were originally supposed to be restored throughout the day, is it possible to obtain so much in such a short period of time?
The answer is yes.

Qingming's physique is strong now, so he can forcefully squeeze out the chakra that should have recovered on its own and concentrate it to extract it.

As long as the force does not exceed the limit of his body's tolerance, there will not be any big problem. At most, he will be a little weaker in the next few days.

He can definitely afford this price.

Anyway, he had just completed an A-level mission, and the village would not assign him other tasks in a short period of time.

In this way, he can completely avoid the weak period.

Even in the weak stage, with his strength, killing a few jonin would not be a big deal.

So, there is no need to care too much.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer thought about it. He began to assign tasks to the nearly one hundred shadow clones in the field, letting them practice their respective skills.

After doing all this, he began to concentrate, performing the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and the 'Heart Reflection Technique' alternately to strengthen his body while increasing the degree of evolution of the Sharingan.

Before he knew it, more than a month had passed since his last Sharingan evolution breakthrough (40000/50000), and two months had passed since his 'Constitution' attribute was raised from 21 points to 22 points.

According to the current progress, in a month at most, his body will undergo another transformation, thereby leading to the improvement of his 'physique' attribute.

This is due to the fact that the effect of strengthening the body has been improved after the "Palm Immortal Technique" was improved.

If not, it would take at least two more months for his body to transform again.

However, before that, the evolution of his Sharingan may reach the level of (50000/50000) first.

By then, when his Mangekyō Sharingan is upgraded, the 'spiritual' attribute may be improved first, and by a large margin.

This made Qingming somewhat worried about the balance between the two.

Before, he had speculated that the reason why Uchiha Itachi had health problems and was difficult to cure was most likely because his body was under mental pressure, resulting in genetic mutations.

Now, his body is indeed many times stronger than Uchiha Itachi's, but the pressure of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan on the body is not comparable to that of ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan.

Therefore, if possible, he wanted to put the evolution of the Mangekyō Sharingan after his body's transformation.

Anyway, there is not much time difference between the two, and it is totally worth delaying for a few days to reduce the risk.

Of course, the specific decision will depend on how the body reacts later.
