Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 940: Breakthrough, Enhancement and Decision (Two in One)

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Qingming looked at Xuefeng's ashes floating towards the sea, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

If the opponent had not suddenly attacked, with his assistance, he should have been able to integrate wind and water jutsu and successfully develop ice jutsu in half a month at most.

"Pity"

Qing Ming muttered.

However, he changed his mind and thought that perhaps it was because of this that the other party chose to take action.

The other party has been with him for such a long time, so he naturally understands his progress.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were a prisoner, he would certainly be worried that after the enemy succeeds, they will kill him to silence him and then take him away.

Even if he doesn't quit, as an enemy, Xuefeng certainly doesn't want him to possess more powerful power.

Especially since this power is the bloodline limit inherited from his family.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is inevitable that Xuefeng will eventually choose to take action.

As for why it was chosen in the morning.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Before resting every night, he would perform the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to extract all the chakra that was not used up during the day in his body to make up for the consumption of the frequent use of the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

In other words, morning is when it is at its best.

The reason why he did not choose to take action directly during his first round of training was to pretend to be submissive so that he would mistakenly believe that everything was the same as usual, thus creating a numb mentality.

In fact, he did relax.

Otherwise, the shadow clone would not have been defeated by one blow.

But this was not a fatal mistake. The S-level skill he had spent a lot of effort to develop, 'Sealing the Heart and Locking the Soul, Seal of Contract and Instant Body', was much more powerful than the other party had imagined.

Therefore, in the end, he was the better one.

However, as mentioned just now, without the opponent's assistance, the time it takes for him to successfully develop the Ice Escape will inevitably be delayed.

It is now early April, and Qingming estimates that he will have to wait until mid-to-late April to complete this step.

Before that, he will first increase the evolution of the Sharingan to above (10000/100000), and at the same time, raise the proficiency of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to level 7.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming no longer wanted to waste time.

He quickly went to the underground space where Xuefeng lived and erased all traces of him.

Then, he walked around the island again, erasing some of the wonders that the other party had created in the past few days to demonstrate his ice escape power to him.

After finishing all this, he performed the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and teleported back to the island in the southern waters of the Land of Fire.

Everything after that is very simple. It can be summed up in two words - practice!
Qingming seemed to have forgotten Xuefeng and began to practice hard alone.

······
In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.

This afternoon.

When Qing Ming once again used the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique' to stimulate the evolution of the Sharingan, an invisible membrane seemed to be pierced by him.

In an instant, Qingming's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan opened unconsciously.

The pattern that looked like a black sun suddenly became extremely deep and delicate.

At the same time, the pupils that were already scarlet wrapped around the pattern became even scarleter, as if they were made of blood, which was terrifying to look at.

A powerful feeling surged from Qingming's heart. He was immersed in this feeling for a long time before he came back to his senses and muttered, "Finally, a breakthrough."

Feeling his mental strength begin to grow as expected, he immediately released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and restored himself to full condition.

bang bang bang~
As balls of chakra smoke exploded, all 180 shadow clones inside and outside the island disintegrated and dissipated, transforming into streams of chakra, carrying with them the practice experience and memories of the past few dozen minutes, and returned to Qingming's original body.

That’s right, one hundred and eighty shadow clones.

This is the last time the 'Spiritualization Technique' was completed, and the 'Spirit' attribute received feedback and improved. After that, he can maintain a maximum number of shadow clones for high-intensity training at the same time.

It can be predicted that after this incident, the number will increase further.

Of course, these are things to follow.

At present, the most important thing for him is to absorb and digest the large amount of memory information that emerges in his mind as quickly as possible, and then adapt to the surging mental power at the same time.

Time passes minute by minute.

About half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, an invisible pressure emanated from him.

Even Qing Ming couldn't help but sigh at this moment. From the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan, every small breakthrough could be regarded as a qualitative change. The improvement in his pupil power could only be described as obvious.

Now, if he were to face Uchiha Shisui, not to mention the advantage of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan that the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan will not go blind, Qingming is confident that he can completely overwhelm the opponent just based on the power of the pupils themselves.

If he could break through a few more times, then even without using 'Heavenly Control', Qingming would have the confidence to ignore the opponent's 'Other Gods'.

Indeed, 'Kotoamatsukami' is known as the strongest illusion in the ninja world, but as long as it is an illusion, its foundation is still on the Sharingan and the power of the pupil.

Therefore, as long as your pupil power is strong enough, you can break all the laws with one force. If you can't do it, it can only be said that your pupil power is not strong enough.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qing Ming silently said: "Panel!"

The next moment, a familiar light blue translucent light curtain appeared:

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 14 years old

Constitution: 26
Spirit: 27→28
Chakra: 672000 (783924 → 811572)

Bloodline: Sharingan: Eternal Mangekyō (7982/100000) → (10001/100000)

White Eyes (4020/5000) → (4353/5000)

Wood Release (1/5000) → (60/5000)

Lava (150/1000) → (235/1000)

技能：查克拉提炼术：lv6（9559/10000）→lv6（9943/10000）

Chakra Control: Level 8 (4100/50000)

Perfect skill: Spiritualization: lv10 (0/0).】

It can be seen that his 'Spirit' attribute has increased a bit again, from 27 points to 28 points.

What comes with it is the improvement of potential and chakra recovery speed.

The former is mainly reflected in the theoretical chakra upper limit.

Qing Ming focused his mind and devoted all his energy to the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to tap into his own potential.

After a period of time, he estimated his theoretical chakra limit based on his own changes, and then calculated the extent of the increase in his potential.

However, it seems that because his 'spiritual' attribute exceeds his 'physical' attribute by too much, the imbalance between the two is widening.

Therefore, this time, his theoretical chakra limit only increased by 1.45 million points.

Although it still exceeded the 26 million chakra limit that his 'spiritual' attribute had increased from 27 to points after the last 'Spiritual Transformation Technique' was completed.

But compared to the difficulty of increasing the 'Spirit' attribute from 27 points to 28 points, this increase is still a little small. In this regard, Qingming can only hope that the 'Physique' attribute will be improved later, and the gap between the two will be shortened, so that the suppressed potential can be released.

Otherwise, he would suffer a great loss.

However, based on past experience, this possibility is still very high.

So, he was not too worried.

In addition to the increase in the theoretical chakra upper limit, the chakra recovery speed also increases.

Qing Ming paused the performance of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' and sat quietly on the stone platform, secretly calculating the speed at which his body could naturally recover chakra.

With the proficiency panel, he easily obtained more accurate data.

Just as his theoretical chakra upper limit was suppressed by the imbalance between the two basic attributes, his chakra recovery speed was also affected.

In about half an hour, his chakra amount only increased by 102083 points on the panel.

According to this recovery speed, he can recover 204166 points of chakra in an hour. In twenty-four hours a day, that is about 4900000 points of chakra.

Before that, the number was 4200000 points.

In other words, this time the improvement of his 'spiritual' attribute only gave him 700000 more chakra points at his disposal every day.

Although this increase is also stronger than the last 600000 points, it is still slightly insufficient compared to the 'difficulty' of increasing the 'Spirit' attribute from 27 points to 28 points.

However, no matter what, he at least had 700000 more chakra at his disposal.

Looking at these chakras, Qingming began to think about how to distribute them.

If all of this chakra were allocated to ice escape, its development speed would definitely increase again.

But this thought only flashed through his mind before being discarded by Qingming.

It’s not that he can’t digest all the chakra after investing it, but the cost-effectiveness of doing so is not high.

At this stage, all his shadow clones are used to develop ice escape.

It is foreseeable that after the improvement of his 'spiritual' attribute, he will be able to create more shadow clones to carry out high-intensity training together.

Therefore, he can digest any amount of chakra.

The crux of the matter is that developing so many shadow clones together will inevitably produce serious diminishing marginal effects.

Perhaps this would improve efficiency a little, but compared to the chakra lost during this period, it is not worth it.

Therefore, he cannot use these chakras to develop ice escape, at least not all of them.

Qing Ming secretly estimated that perhaps if he invested another 400,000 points, he would be able to make the total amount of 2 million.

As for the remaining 300,000 chakra points
save?
Qingming felt somewhat unwilling.

But he has no other skills to practice for the time being.
Wait ~
Suddenly, Qing Ming seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at the sea in the distance. His sight seemed to penetrate the water and saw the trench below that he used to strengthen his body.

“Maybe I should change my place.”

Qingming murmured.

After all, this is just the near sea. The water may be deeper in some places, but it is definitely not as deep as the ocean.

If he could change place and find a more suitable position to practice, he could not only digest these chakras, but also further speed up the strengthening of his body.

Moreover, he has been on this island for long enough. Although no outsiders have been found to intrude yet, it would be nice to change places.

After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Qing Ming did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately drew chakra from the strange space between his eyebrows to replenish his own state.

Then, he raised his hands, formed seals, and performed the "Shadow Clone Technique".

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, a figure appeared on the scene.

Because he inherited Qingming's memory, the shadow clone turned around and left without his instructions.

He used the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', and turned into green light, flying into the sky and into the depths of the ocean.

During his several trips to the Water Kingdom, he saw many islands hidden deep in the sea.

Although he had never learned about the environment of these islands and the surrounding sea conditions in detail, he thought there should be quite a few that were suitable as his new base.

And the goal of this trip, Shadow Clone's goal is to survey these islands.

On the stone platform.

Watching the shadow clone leave, Qing Ming withdrew his gaze.

Afterwards, he once again drew some chakra from the strange space between his eyebrows, restoring his condition to full strength.

Then, he performed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As clouds of chakra smoke dissipated, one hundred and ninety shadow clones appeared on the field.

That’s right, this time, he created a total of one hundred and ninety shadow clones.

Although we haven't found a new base yet, we still need to complete the testing as soon as possible.

Only by determining the optimal number of shadow clones and chakra investment can he immediately begin the most efficient training after finding a new base.

After letting the shadow clones leave, Qing Ming raised his hand and used the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'.

crackle~
Then a thunderous sound was heard, and a layer of 'Thunder Escape Light Film' quietly emerged, wrapping Qingming's whole body.

Letting go of his perception, Qingming locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark in the trench beneath the distant sea, and with a thought, he activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

brush~
Silently, Qingming disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, Qingming's figure suddenly appeared at the bottom of the trench.

In just a moment, he went from the warm and comfortable island to the cold and depressing seabed.

The sudden change in the environment made Qingming frown slightly.

But this is just a minor issue; what is more important is the sudden change in pressure.

Being hundreds of meters deep under the sea, the pressure here is dozens of times higher than outside.

It can be seen that where the sea water flows, the 'Thunder Escape Light Film' on Qingming's body surface twisted, and Qingming, who was protected inside, also suddenly changed his expression.

At this moment, he seemed to have blood boiling into his head, and his face turned red.

At first, when he encountered this situation, he needed to take some time to adapt.

And now, after just a few breaths, his face returned to normal.

Apparently, as time went on, he became more and more accustomed to this change in pressure.

It can be predicted that after a period of time, perhaps a month, or perhaps two months, and no later than three to five months, he will be able to fully adapt to this environment.

By then, this seabed will no longer be a harsh environment for him.

In this way, his attempt to use this external pressure to increase the speed of strengthening his body would not work.

This is one of the reasons why he is determined to find the next stronghold.

Qingming collected his thoughts and stopped having wild thoughts.

After making sure that the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Human Control' in his body were functioning normally, he immediately began to strengthen his body according to the records in the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'.

In this way, time passed by minute by minute.
