Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 728 Rest
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-June.

A week has passed since Qing Ming carried out the escort mission.

During this week, he was either practicing or on his way to practice every day. Almost every day was fully scheduled by him.

It can be said that there is not any slackness at all.

And such hard training also brought him rich rewards.

Not to mention the improvement of other skills, the 'Eight Diagrams Seal' alone has already reached the critical point before perfection.

Qingming estimated that with two more rounds of practice, or about two hours, he would be able to reach perfection.

But
Qingming looked up at the setting sun that was about to disappear over the sea level in the distance, and suddenly wanted to take a break.

Indeed, with the proficiency panel, every effort can see obvious rewards, making Qingming's patience and perseverance much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But the boring training still made him mentally exhausted after all.

After the 'Eight Trigrams Seal' is completed, he will need to combine the 'Guardian Seal', 'Sealing Array', and 'Seal of Self-Karma Binding' to develop a sealing technique that can perfectly utilize the Seven-Tails' chakra.

And this is by no means an easy task!
Qingming has planned to spend a day specifically studying this.

There is no doubt that this will be a very exhausting task.

So, he wanted to relax before that.

With this thought, Qing Ming stood up and used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' again. After arranging a shadow clone to take care of Shemu, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and returned to his home.

After taking off his equipment, Qing Ming walked into the bathroom and took a comfortable bath.

Afterwards, he returned to the bedroom, put on his clothes, picked up the ninja tool bag beside the table out of habit, and prepared to put it on.

But at this moment, his movements suddenly froze.

Since you are relaxing, there is no need to be fully armed.

Anyway, with his current strength, even if he doesn't bring anything with him, ordinary people are no match for him.

What's more, this is Konoha Village, and safety can be guaranteed.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that a few powerful people take the opportunity to kill him, he can easily escape with the abilities of 'Heaven's Control' and 'Flying Thunder God's Technique'.

So, there is absolutely no need to carry equipment.

With this thought in mind, Qingming put down the ninja tool bag.

He took off not only his ninja tool bag, but also the Jonin uniform issued by the village. He simply put on a set of casual clothes and walked out of the yard.

Smelling the aroma of various foods wafting faintly from afar, Qingming couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Tsk~
Wiping the corners of his mouth, he quickly walked towards the direction where the aroma of food came from.

If he had any hobby besides cultivation, it would undoubtedly be eating.

As an ordinary office worker in my previous life, not only could I spend all my money every month, I couldn’t even save much. Adding to all the pressures of life, I didn’t dare to spend lavishly.

And now, after coming to this extraordinary world and working hard, his strength is not only at the top of the pyramid, but also at a top-notch level.

In this way, money and other things will naturally no longer be a problem.

For example, in the previous A-level mission, in addition to the recorded merits, he could also receive a reward of 2 million taels from the village.

What level is this?

For example, in Konoha, a bowl of ramen from Ichiraku Ramen costs about 60 to 100 taels. A deluxe meal might be a little more expensive, but it won't exceed 150 taels.

Calculated based on an average of one hundred taels, the two million taels of remuneration would be enough for him to eat twenty thousand bowls of ramen.

If you eat one bowl of rice for each meal a day, that would be seven thousand days, or twenty years.

In other words, if Qing Ming retired and lived on ramen noodles every day, he wouldn't have to worry about money until he was 35. And this was just the reward for one mission.

Since being promoted to Jonin, he has lost count of how many missions he has completed. Although most of the rewards for these missions were converted into merits during the war, he still saved a lot of money.

Therefore, in Qingming's eyes, money is not just a number, but it is really not that important.

Therefore, he never treated himself badly in terms of food and other issues.

Of course, this is because he was promoted to Jonin early on and could perform difficult tasks and cash in on his strength. If it were other Chunins or Genins, the situation would be different.

Not to mention the commission that the team leader and the village take when a team is tasked with carrying out a mission, the reward for a low-level mission alone is not a very large amount.

In this way, if several people divide it equally, there will be not much left.

The point is, as a ninja, whether it is buying ninja tools or consuming secret medicine for training, it requires a lot of money.

Therefore, on the whole, a Chunin may still live a comfortable life, but a Genin...
Basically, they will be quite tight on money.

Especially some civilian Genin who have no family background and have exhausted their potential, they can only maintain basic training and food and clothing.

Shaking his head secretly, Qingming didn't think any more and went straight to the 'Food Street'.

At this time, it was dark and the street lights were already on.

Under the light, stalls are scattered on both sides of the street, and there are crowds of pedestrians in the middle, many of whom are adults with children.

Among them, there were many ninjas who, like him, took off their uniforms and equipment.

When everyone sees each other, they nod in tacit understanding.

Then, either alone, in groups of three or five, or as a father or mother, husband or wife, they participate in the lives of ordinary people.

Qingming felt that the reason why the world had not been completely divided was simply because the lifespan of ninjas was not longer than that of ordinary people, and was even shorter due to frequent fights.

Otherwise, ninjas and ordinary people would have been divided into two classes long ago.

Well.
Perhaps a noble will be added in between.

In short, it won't be as 'harmonious' as it is now.

Of course, these have little to do with Qingming. They are just random associations he made when he was bored.

Qingming's nose twitched slightly and he smelled the scent of boiled meatballs.

Without any hesitation, he immediately walked over.

Over the next one or two hours, he walked through the streets like an ordinary boy, constantly buying various foods and stuffing them into his mouth.

Fortunately, he has a strong physique and amazing digestive ability, and can refine this energy into chakra and store it.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to eat so much.

Finally, Qing Ming walked into the most luxurious barbecue restaurant on the street.

The barbecue here tastes amazing. Qingming comes here almost every now and then to satisfy his appetite.

Of course, he had another purpose for coming here, which was to collect intelligence.

That's right, intelligence.

Of course, it wasn’t any valuable information, just some gossip circulating in the village.

And because he has memories of his past life, he can often foresee some problems from these gossips.

This will provide valuable reference opinions for his decision-making.

Of course, the reason why we can hear rumors here is because its level is destined to be consumed only by high-income groups such as ninjas.

Among ninjas, when a few friends get together, can it still be called a dinner party if they don't brag and chat a little?
So, this is a good place to get some gossip.
