Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 916: Scruples and Planning

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After Qingming summarized his gains from the past week, he stopped thinking about it and quickly formed seals and performed the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique", starting a new round of practice.

However, this time, the grouping of his shadow clones changed again.

Among them, the shadow clone that he had previously asked to practice the 'Heart Sealing Soul and Contract Instant Body Seal' was now arranged by him to practice the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique'.

However, the energy consumption of practicing 'Sealing the Heart and Locking the Soul·Seal of Contract and Instant Body' is quite different from that of 'Spiritual Transformation Technique'.

Therefore, the current grouping is just a preliminary plan.

Later, he would make further adjustments based on the specific results of his practice, so as to minimize the loss of chakra and maximize the efficiency of practice.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming let the shadow clones leave, and then he began to prepare for training.

crackle~
The familiar sound of thunder sounded again.

Qing Ming used the 'Lightning Chakra Mode'.

Then, he locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark somewhere on the seabed and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

It is worth mentioning that after a month of adaptation, the mark he left now is no longer the original one.

Now this mark is farther away from the sea surface and the underwater pressure is greater. Even with Qingming's current physical fitness, he can only barely withstand it.

······
seabed.

Somewhere on a rock.

Qingming's figure suddenly appeared.

The next moment, the lightning on his body suddenly dimmed, as if it was suppressed by something and could no longer support the bright light.

However, this situation only lasted for a moment.

When Qingming concentrated his mind and mobilized his chakra again, the lightning wrapped around his body suddenly became brighter, as if it was holding up the heavy pressure from the bottom of the sea.

In fact, it is true.

Given the current depth of the sea water, this is the only way he can resist external pressure.

However, this also brought him a problem, which was the rapid consumption of chakra.

Although he had the foresight to over-allocate chakra to it long ago, as time went by, these chakras were gradually insufficient.

It can be predicted that next, he will use the chakra he had accumulated previously.

And once these chakras are consumed, he will have to allocate more chakras to it.

Now, after several chase shots, the chakra he allocated to physical strengthening has reached 622000 (=150000+36000+150000+286000) points.

Among them, 150000 points were used by him to perform the 'Lightning Chakra Mode', and 36000 points were used by him initially on the 'Palm Immortal Technique'.

The next 150000 points and 286000 points were invested in 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Control of Man' respectively after he began to use the heavy pressure from the bottom of the sea to increase the speed of strengthening his body.

So, adding them all together, it is 622000 points.

From now on, Qingming also plans to count them together.

Because as he turned 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Control of Man' into passive, he strengthened his body again, and it was no longer a single strengthening of a certain aspect.

Therefore, calculating together in this way is both convenient and more suitable for the current situation.

The topic has gone too far. Let's get back to the chakras themselves. Qing Ming estimates that based on the current consumption and the current distribution model, it can only last for half a month at most.

After that, he would have to find another chakra and invest more in it.

However, Qingming was not too anxious.

Although he didn't have much chakra to distribute now.

Even the Sharingan, which can withstand 1.5 million points of chakra stimulation, is now only allocated 1.25 million points.

However, Qingming believes that this problem will be solved soon.

There was no other reason. According to his previous estimation, his body would reach the critical point of transformation in a week at most.

After this upgrade, his 'physique' and 'spiritual' attributes will be balanced again. According to past experience, every time this happens, his theoretical chakra limit and the speed at which his body can restore chakra will be greatly improved.

By then, these vacancies will surely be filled.

Even if he can't, he has other ways.

Based on the shadow clones left behind in the Iwagakure Village and the information obtained by those spies, Qingming has preliminarily locked down the approximate activity range of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han.

If necessary, he could conduct further investigations, and then after determining the target, he could take direct action and capture the Five-Tailed Fox with lightning speed.

This way, he won't be short of chakra.

Well.
At least for a period of time, there will be no shortage of it.

Of course, if possible, Qingming didn't want to attack Han so quickly, for three reasons:
First, he had already attacked the tailed beast of the Iwagakure Village once.

As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make.

Last time, he had asked the Iwagakure Village to turn their attention to Konoha and launch an investigation.

Now that things have finally calmed down, he doesn't want to provoke the Iwagakure Village to make trouble again.

Secondly, his rhetoric of pursuing power temporarily fooled Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, making them tacitly agree to his attack on the tailed beasts.

However, if it happens too frequently, it will still attract their special attention.

By then, there might be some trouble.

Before he evolved the Rinnegan, he didn't want to completely break off relations with these two people.

The third reason is based on the consideration of maintaining the balance of power among the villages in the ninja world.

Although the current Ōnoki is not as old as he will be during the Fourth Ninja World War more than ten years later, he is already over sixty years old.

And sixty years old is already quite old for a ninja.

In this situation, even if he mastered the powerful Dust Release, his endurance would not be enough.

At the same time, the Iwagakure Village was in a period of transition. Although the number of ninjas ranked first among the five major ninja villages, there were not many who could take on the main responsibility.

At this time, if the Five-Tails was also captured, it would very likely cause Ōnoki to have a stress reaction, causing the situation in the ninja world to get out of control.

Admittedly, he was not afraid of the Ninja World War, but a chaotic situation would always affect his training.

It is unnecessary and not worth it to take such risks for a few chakras.

So, if possible, he really didn't want to attack the Five-Tails so quickly.

Later, if he really needs chakra, he can attack other villages.

For example: The Hidden Cloud Village.

Like Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure Village also has two tailed beasts, and one of them is the Eight-Tails, second only to the Nine-Tails.

Even if he doesn't attack the Eight-Tails, he can attack the Two-Tails.

According to the calculation of time, the current Yukito should have just become a Jinchūriki not long ago, and can't exert much of the power of the tailed beast.

If he could find the opponent's position, with his strength and ability, he should be able to defeat him easily.

Of course, these are things to follow.

How to do it specifically depends on how things develop and the urgency of his need for chakra.

However, the matter of planting spies in the Hidden Cloud Village had to be put on the agenda.

"Perhaps, when we routinely replace the shadow clones left behind in the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village, we can take a trip there."

As this thought flashed through his mind, Qing Ming quickly suppressed it, then concentrated his mind and walked towards the place where he would formally practice.

That’s right, the place where he is now is just the limit of the pressure changes that his body can withstand. It is not the place where he practices. The place where he practices is deeper and the environment is even worse.
