Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 923 Critical Point and Transformation
About a quarter of an hour later.

Qingming landed on the island again.

There were no surprises and there was still nothing unusual around this remote island.

Qing Ming did not show any impatience towards this.

Standing on the huge rock in the center of the island, Qingming raised his hand, formed seals and performed the ninjutsu - the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

bang bang bang~
As clouds of chakra smoke exploded, one hundred and fifty more figures appeared on the field.

Looking at these shadow clones, Qing Ming grouped them with ease and then let them leave.

After they all left, Qing Ming didn't waste any time and immediately performed the 'Lightning Chakra Mode'.

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

In an instant, his figure disappeared.

······
at the same time.

A figure suddenly appeared near the trench.

The person who came was none other than Qing Ming.

Suddenly bearing more than forty times the atmospheric pressure, Qing Ming couldn't help feeling pain even with the protection of Lightning Chakra.

Fortunately, he has become accustomed to such pain.

In addition, he immediately increased the output of Lightning Chakra to share some of the pressure.

So, I recovered quickly.

As for some internal injuries caused by this.
To be honest, Qingming doesn't really care.

Not to mention that he has now completely assimilated Hashirama's cells, and his self-healing ability has been greatly enhanced. Even if he hasn't, with the recovery ability brought by his 25 points of "Constitution", he is not afraid of such injuries.

Basically, it can be repaired in minutes.

Therefore, he is not worried about getting injured at all.

After standing there for a while and adjusting himself, Qing Ming stopped wasting time and immediately walked towards the trench ahead.

Soon, he arrived at the edge of the trench.

Afterwards, Qing Ming went down along the cliff, passing the training platforms he had opened up, and arrived at a depth of more than 40 meters.

This is almost the middle of the trench.

At the same time, it is also the limit of what he can bear at present.

Qing Ming stopped going down, found a spot nearby, and then used the "Water Style: Water Breaking Wave" again to create a small platform on the cliff.

Qingming moved the rubble off the platform.

Then, he attached chakra to the soles of his feet and stood on it. After a short pause, he began to temper his body according to the records in the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'.

Of course, during this period, he did not forget to activate the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Human Control', so that they could work together to strengthen his body from the inside out.

Before, when the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal' was completed, he predicted that it would only take about a week to strengthen the body to the critical point of transformation.

And now, five days have passed.

Yesterday, he was resting, so it doesn’t count!
But even so, he had already practiced for four days.

In other words, in another two or three days, his body would reach the critical point of transformation.

And now, he could clearly feel the invisible shackles.

Qingming was very familiar with this feeling. It appeared before every physical transformation in the past.

And, predictably, as his body got closer to that critical point, the feeling became more obvious.

At this time, the resistance to strengthening the body will be the greatest.

However, Qingming didn't care about it and just continued to practice step by step.

······
Two days passed in a flash, and it was the afternoon of the third day.

It’s still that trench.

Qingming is practicing on a platform.

His whole body was glowing with lightning, and tiny bolts of lightning constantly penetrated his skin, going in and out, cooperating with the Yang Release Chakra that was constantly flowing inside him to strengthen his body.

However, Qingming, who was in the middle of it, could not feel any progress.

No, it cannot be said that there has been no progress at all.

Unlike the previous times, now when he was strengthening his body, 'Human Control' was running. With its guidance, he could make some progress to some extent.

However, these advances are insignificant compared to the bottleneck he is facing now.

Of course, if he works hard like this, he should be able to break through this bottleneck eventually.

But by then, I don’t know how long it will be.

He couldn't wait that long.

At the same time, there is no need to wait that long.

With the 'Control of Man', he could completely concentrate and use the 'Palm Immortal Technique' with all his strength, just like every breakthrough in the past, to break the invisible shackles in one breath.

Thinking this in his mind, Qingming immediately stopped practicing.

Then he did not linger any longer, but jumped upwards, and soon left the trench.

Then, he came to the vicinity of the Flying Thunder God mark.

After confirming that he had reached the range of pressure changes that he could bear, Qing Ming no longer hesitated and immediately locked onto the Flying Thunder God Mark on the island and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

The vision in front of me suddenly changed.

Qingming returned to the huge rock in the center of the island.

bang~
He condensed a ball of fire chakra, which instantly evaporated the clothes on his body.

Then, he released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and recalled all the shadow clones that were practicing on and off the island.

Since you are using your full strength, you naturally cannot be disturbed by external things, so it is necessary to take back these shadow clones.

Qing Ming closed his eyes and carefully browsed through the memories of these shadow clones, converting all the practice experience they had accumulated over the past few dozen minutes into the proficiency of the corresponding skills.

After a moment, Qingming opened his eyes again.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Qingming closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while. After adjusting his state to the peak, he immediately began to perform the "Palm Immortal Technique".

Of course, before performing the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and condensing the Yang Release Chakra, he did not forget to open the Mangekyō Sharingan and activate the 'Human Defense' to pave the way for himself to break through the bottleneck.

He condensed a strong Yang Release Chakra and injected it into his body. Then, under the guidance of 'Human Control', it continuously stimulated his cells, causing them to mutate in the direction he expected.

Time passes minute by minute.

Qing Ming performed the "Palm Immortal Technique" over and over again, condensing the Yang escape chakra to replenish the consumption.

Finally, more than two hours later, near dusk, Qingming seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

Then, a feeling of relief came over me.

Sensing his body again, the shackles that had previously restricted his physical growth had disappeared, leaving him with only the vast world.

Before Qingming opened his eyes, a warm current suddenly emerged from deep within his cells and quickly filled his entire body, making him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable.

Without any hesitation, Qing Ming immediately relaxed his mind and immersed himself in this feeling.

Soon, everything in the outside world disappeared, and all he could feel was the happiness of returning to the mother's body.
