Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 757 Completed
On the boulder.

Qingming opened his eyes.

He glanced at his left arm, which had almost recovered, and murmured, "Is this the limit?"

As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, seeming somewhat dissatisfied.

In fact, it is true.

Even though his left arm seems to have returned to its original state and those scary "worms" under his skin have disappeared, this is just an appearance.

With the ultimate control over the body brought by "Human Control", Qingming can clearly feel that those Hashirama cells have not been completely assimilated by him.

Now, they are just in a semi-dormant state. As long as they are not stimulated too much, they will basically have no effect on him.

But this is just basically impossible, not completely impossible.

If a progress bar is set for the assimilation of Hashirama's cells, then its current progress is only 30% at most.

This progress can bring him some benefits, but correspondingly, he will have to pay some price.

For example, from now on, there must be at least 200,000 points of chakra in his body to ensure that there will be no problems with these Hashirama cells.

Once it is less than this number, it may not be a big deal in the short term, but over time, there will inevitably be problems.

This requires him to pay special attention to this point when practicing in the future.

Only now he has the chakra reservoir created by the 'Senluo Wanxiang Seal', which can be replenished at any time.

Otherwise, a 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' would be enough to make the Hashirama cells in his body lose their suppression, and if it happens too many times, it is hard to guarantee that he will not get out of control.

However, even with backup measures, such defects will still have a certain negative impact on his future training, life and fighting.

Fortunately, this defect does not exist for a long time.

At present, his body has not yet completed the transformation. After this step is completed, the progress of assimilation of Hashirama's cells will inevitably be improved.

By then, the chakra required for suppression will inevitably decrease, and the trouble brought to him will naturally decrease at the same time.

Thinking this in his heart, Qingming's brows relaxed slightly.

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately directed the cells gathered between the pillars of his left arm to other parts of his body, spreading them throughout his entire body.

After doing this, he once again activated the power of 'Human Control' and at the same time performed 'Palm Immortal Technique' to condense Yang Release Chakra and complete the last step of the transformation.

However, although it was called the last step, he still went through three rounds of strengthening before he completely broke the invisible shackles.

Suddenly, a warm current emerged from inside his body, or more precisely, from deep within his cells, and then merged together, slowly flowing through his entire body.

Wherever he passes, his life energy will become stronger.

A long-lost sense of relief came over me.

At this moment, Qingming only felt that the shackles originally imposed on his body were opened, allowing him to continue to strengthen his body and improve his "physique".

Speaking of improving 'physique'.
Qingming sensed himself carefully.

He could clearly feel that as his body completed its transformation, the Hashirama cells spread throughout his body moved closer to him again, and the assimilation progress was greatly improved.

Before, he had put in a lot of effort, but he had only been able to increase the progress to 30%.

Now, it's 50 percent.

Although a breakthrough from zero to one is always the most difficult, the one-time increase of twenty percentage points still made him feel a little happy.

Taking a deep breath, Qingming gradually reduced the chakra in his body that suppressed Hashirama's cells. When there were only 100,000 points left, he could faintly feel the other party's throbbing.

In other words, from now on he only needs to retain 100,000 points of chakra to ensure that there will be no problems with his body.

Without a doubt, this is huge good news.

And, this is not the end.

In the future, as the progress of assimilating Hashirama's cells continues to increase, the chakra required to suppress it will be further reduced.

And once it was completely integrated into his body, he wouldn't have to bother suppressing it anymore.

Qingming estimated that this time would not be too long.

As for the reason
It's very simple. Now, his body has completed its transformation and can support stronger mental power, so the Mangekyō Sharingan can also be improved.

After it evolves into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the risk of blindness will no longer exist, and he can occasionally stimulate the power of "Human Control" to increase the assimilation rate of Hashirama's cells. That's why Qingming said it wouldn't take too long.

In addition, stimulating the power of 'Human Control' from time to time will further speed up the strengthening of his body, allowing him to reach the critical point of the next transformation faster.

Qingming estimated that after one more transformation, these Hashirama cells would be completely assimilated by him and become part of his power.

By then, there will be no need to worry about suppression.

However, before upgrading the Mangekyō Sharingan, we still have to look at the changes that the fusion of Hashirama's cells and the transformation of his body have brought to him.

First of all, the most obvious is the 'Constitution' attribute.

This time, his "Constitution" attribute was directly increased by two points, from 22 points to 24 points.

This is because his Hashirama cells were not completely assimilated, otherwise the improvement would be much more than just this.

However, this very point also greatly improved his physical abilities.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the body's self-healing ability.

After his 'Constitution' attribute exceeded twenty points, his self-healing ability was already very strong.

And now, with the integration of some of Hashirama's cell genes, his self-healing ability has become even stronger.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qing Ming took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and with a "swish", he cut a gash on his arm.

It can be seen that even though Qing Ming did not deliberately use chakra to accelerate the healing of the wound, it completed the healing within one minute.

Then, in another minute, everything was back to normal.

If you use medical ninjutsu during this process, or gather Yangtun chakra to speed up, it will take even less time.

Qingming estimated that it would only take ten seconds at the fastest for him to fully recover.

Qingming was very satisfied with this.

In addition to the self-healing ability, the most obvious performance is the chakra recovery speed and the theoretical chakra upper limit.

Among them, the former is divided into two parts - the chakra restored by running the 'Chakra Refining Technique', and the chakra restored by the body itself.

Before, when his physical fitness was at 22 points, his body could withstand his passive operation of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' for consecutive hours every day.

And now, his "Constitution" attribute has been raised to 24 points, so he can naturally withstand greater pressure.

Qing Ming came to the conclusion after just a few tests. From then on, he could passively practice this technique 24 hours a day.

However, because the proficiency level of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' has not been improved, it can still only refine 3000 points of chakra per hour.

Therefore, adding two hours a day only gave him 6000 more chakra points to use at his disposal.

As for the big head
That is naturally the speed at which the body recovers its chakra.

This time, Hashirama's cells were involved, and his 'physical' and 'spiritual' attributes had reached a balance during that period.

Therefore, the chakra that he can naturally recover every day directly increased by 950000 points, from the original 1450000 points to the current points.

In this way, plus the chakra restored by the 1522000-hour uninterrupted operation of the 'Chakra Refining Technique', that is 1016000 points, which is 506000 points more than the original points.

This is undoubtedly a significant increase.

If they were distributed and used for cultivation, it would definitely greatly increase the speed at which his various skills would improve.

Unfortunately, now is not the time.
After talking about the chakra recovery speed, let’s look at the theoretical chakra upper limit.

Last time, after his 'Spirit' attribute broke through 23 points, his theoretical chakra limit increased by 200000 points, reaching a huge 1350000 points.

This time, the continuous increase of two points in "Physique", plus the potential increase brought by Hashirama's cells, directly raised this value to 2150000 points.

With such a chakra limit, Qingming will not have to worry about his potential being fully tapped not only in the short term, but for a long time to come.

And this is only a temporary result.

Once his Mangekyō Sharingan is upgraded and his 'spiritual' attribute is also improved, both the speed at which his body recovers chakra and the theoretical chakra limit will surge again.

Qing Ming could almost foresee that this improvement would be the largest improvement he had ever experienced since he traveled through time.
