Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 840 Attacked
Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Qing Ming pondered for a while and then stopped thinking about it. It was too early to consider improving the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal'.

Before that, he needs to complete it to perfection.

It is worth mentioning that this technique seems to be quite troublesome to practice because it involves too many things, and it consumes a lot of chakra.

Based on the experience of the past two days, every improvement in proficiency requires the consumption of two hundred points of chakra.

In the past two days, he has invested all the 200,000 chakra points that were originally used to develop this curse-sealing technique, and can only gain 1,000 points of proficiency every day.

Therefore, until now, its proficiency level is only lv4 (200/2000).

At this rate, it would take at least three months to upgrade it to level 9 (0/0).

This is undoubtedly a very long time.

Fortunately, within a month at most, his 'Lightning Style: Raikiri' would be able to be promoted to the perfect state of lv10 (0/0).

By then, he could use the saved 936000 chakra points to practice this technique.

In this way, the proficiency that can be obtained every day will increase from 1000 points to 5680 points, and the growth rate will more than increase five times.

According to this calculation, it would only take him one and a half months at most to complete the 'Sealing Heart and Soul: Seal of Contract and Instant Body'.

This is directly reduced by half compared to the three months originally calculated, which is very good.

Qing Ming nodded secretly, then turned his attention to 'Fire Style: Concentrated Flame Attack'.

Over the past period of time, his gains were naturally not only the 'Earth Escape·Heavy Rock Technique' and 'Earth Escape·Light and Heavy Rock Technique' that he had perfected, as well as the 'Heart Sealing and Soul Locking·Contract Instant Body Seal' that he had successfully developed.

In addition, the improvements of several other skills are also very obvious, especially 'Fire Style: Concentrated Flame Strike'.

After more than ten days of practice, his proficiency has exceeded lv9 (35000/100000), and the progress bar has gone through more than one-third.

In this way, it only takes a little over twenty days to reach the critical point for promotion.

As long as he breaks through this critical point and thoroughly perfects this technique, thus advancing to level 10 (0/0), his understanding and mastery of the changes in the nature of Fire Release Chakra will reach the expected threshold.

This will bring him one step closer to his goal of integrating the changes in the properties of the seven chakra attributes and mastering the power of the bloodline network.

Of course, the past ten days have not been all good news.

Just as he expected, within two days after the mission, he was questioned by the village’s top leaders.

However, he had already prepared a plan for this and he was able to get around this problem in the end.

Of course, rather than saying that he fooled around, it would be more accurate to say that the village had no evidence and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

But this also caused a problem, that is, the trust of the village's top leaders in him plummeted, especially the older generation headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, where the performance was most obvious.

So, after some bargaining, his mission to stay at the front line was terminated, and the village decided to send someone else to take over his task.

And today is the day he will take over with the newcomer.

Calculating the time, the shadow clone should have completed the handover with that person by now.

It is estimated that he is now rushing back with the next batch of Konoha ninjas who are going back to the village for rotation and rest.

And after he returned to the village, he was not allowed to go out without orders.

If someone else received such an order, they might feel indignant or uneasy.

But Qingming is different, he would rather have nothing to do!

Anyway, with the 'Heavenly Guard', if he wants to leave the village, no one can find him, and no one can stop him.

Therefore, the so-called ban is, if not completely useless to him, then it is also meaningless.

On the contrary, it will save him a lot of energy.

After all, even if he only left a shadow clone to deal with trivial matters on the front line, it would take up a lot of his energy.

In this process, the accumulated fatigue of the shadow clone will eventually return to his original body as the "Shadow Clone Technique" is lifted. It may not be noticeable once or twice, but over time, it will inevitably affect his practice efficiency.

Therefore, Qingming was happy to accept the village's orders.

However, this would interrupt his plan to accumulate merits and exchange them for the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique' from the village.

After pondering for a long time, Qing Ming finally sighed and said, "Well, forget it. Everything has its pros and cons. It's impossible for me to have all the good things. There is no rush for the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique' for the time being. Let's take our time!"

After saying that, Qingming packed up his things, stood up and left the boulder, and after a few flashes, he appeared in the wooden house.

The moment he saw the bed, he fell asleep.

Because he had to create a large number of shadow clones for training every time, Qing Ming was under great mental pressure, so every day at noon, he would take some time to take a short sleep to restore his energy.

Today is no exception.

However, just when Qingming thought that today would be the same as usual, he suddenly opened his eyes after lying down not long ago.

At the same time, a memory came to his mind.

Qing Ming was very familiar with this feeling. It was the memory information that returned to the main body along with the chakra when the shadow clone disintegrated.

The only shadow clone of Qingming left outside is the one who was previously stationed at the front line and is now rushing back.

In other words, the other party collapsed on the way back to the village.

But why would the other party suddenly collapse out of nowhere?
'Has he been attacked?'

Thinking of this possibility, Qing Ming suddenly came to his senses.

He quickly closed his eyes and carefully browsed the memories in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

Qingming's expression became more and more serious, and the air in the wooden house seemed to be oppressed by something and became extremely stagnant.

At this moment, if someone walked in here, they would definitely be suffocated by the aura emanating from him.

After a long time, Qingming opened his eyes.

However, the depressing atmosphere in the cabin did not diminish in the slightest.

On the contrary, as his eyes opened, the evil aura emanating from Qingming became heavier.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

Qing Ming forced himself to calm down.

Then, the aura on his body gradually subsided.

Review the information you have obtained in your mind.

Originally, he thought that the collapse of the shadow clone might be an attack arranged by the older generation of the village such as Sarutobi Hiruzen who had some conflicts with him.

But the fact is not so. The attack did happen, and the shadow clone collapsed because of this. But the key point is that this attack was not arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, but by Uchiha Obito.

That’s right, it’s this ‘old friend’ I haven’t seen for a long time.

The opponent appeared in an instant, and the shadow clone was unable to react and was directly caught into the Shenwei space.

After trying and finding that the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' could not break through the blockade of this alien space, the shadow clone decisively chose to end his life.

That's why he was suddenly awakened just now.
