Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 943 Volcano
Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, the whole roasted chicken went into Qingming's stomach.

"Ah~, so comfortable!"

After eating the roast chicken, Qingming leaned back and let out a sigh.

He touched his slightly bulging belly, wiped the oily corners of his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

Admittedly, this roast chicken could not compare with the roast meat sprinkled with seasonings in the village barbecue shop, and at the same time, a mere roast chicken was far from enough to satisfy his appetite.

However, compared to the large amount of Bingliang Pills he swallowed, it was still a pretty good meal.

After calming down, Qingming released the 'Shadow Clone Technique', causing the shadow clone next to him to disappear.

Then, he sat down on a big tree at the back and took a rest.

After about five minutes, feeling that he had rested enough, he immediately returned to the open space in the center of the island and began the last practice of the day.

That’s right, it’s still better to keep your eyes warm.

As early as the last time, when his 'Spiritualization Technique' was perfected and the feedback made his 'Spirit' attribute improved, he fully utilized the chakra of the Byakugan.

That is, three and a half million chakra points per day.

This brings the total time he spends on it to three and a half hours a day.

Therefore, every day as soon as it gets dark, he has to take the time to warm up his white eyes, otherwise it will be delayed until very late.

However, compared with the gains it could bring, the time and chakra costs he paid were too great and the two were simply disproportionate.

Therefore, Qingming was eager to create a skill similar to the "Art of Reflecting the Heart" to improve the efficiency of warming up the white eyes.

In this way, not only time can be saved, but also chakra can be saved.

But unfortunately, this cannot be achieved overnight.

At this stage, all he could do was to slowly explore and sense in the process of nurturing his white eyes.

As for creating some shadow clones to try?

Not to mention that nurturing the Byakugan requires the main body to be done, the shadow clone cannot do it at all. Even if it can, without any clues, the shadow clone cannot speed up the process.

In this way, creating a separate shadow clone to try is simply a waste of time and energy.

Instead of doing this, it is better to maintain the status quo and explore slowly!

This is also the main reason why Qingming, although he is anxious, still maintains his original rhythm.

In addition, the evolution degree of his Byakugan has already broken through (4350/5000), and he is only points away from evolution.

Based on the current daily investment of 17 million chakra points and the gain of 18 to points of evolution, it will only take about days for it to evolve successfully.

By then, based on past experience, the amount of chakra his Byakugan can absorb per hour will increase.

Correspondingly, efficiency will naturally be improved to a certain extent.

In this way, he doesn't have to spend three and a half hours every day to nurture the whites of his eyes.

He could use part of the saved time and invest some chakra to study how to make it evolve more efficiently.

In this way, everything will be on the right track.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qing Ming quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he activated the 'Seal All Things' between his brows and began to nurture his white eyes.

As a large amount of chakra was compressed twice through the seal and injected into the Byakugan, the familiar numbing feeling came again, and Qingming closed his eyes comfortably.

It must be said that unlike the discomfort of using the 'Heart Reflection Technique' to stimulate the evolution of the Sharingan, although nurturing the Byakugan consumes a lot of energy and is not very efficient, it is extremely gentle.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Qing Ming has not yet developed similar skills.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, three and a half hours passed.

When Qingming opened his eyes again, it was already late at night. He opened the panel and looked at the seventeen points of evolution added behind the white eyes in the blood column, and nodded with satisfaction.

After closing the panel again, Qing Ming stood up, stretched hard, and then walked straight to the wooden house in the northern corner of the island.

After walking into the room and lying on the bed, Qing Ming didn't even recognize the bed. He fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

A faint snoring sound was heard in the house.

Outside the house, insects chirped constantly.

However, as if they sensed the terrifying aura from Qingming, these insects did not dare to approach the wooden house where Qingming was sleeping.

Therefore, Qingming slept quite soundly.

······
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming got up early.

After taking a few enhanced ration pills to replenish his energy, he swiftly performed the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

In an instant, more than two hundred shadow clones appeared on the field.

Looking at these shadow clones, Qing Ming directly asked most of them to practice according to the plan, leaving only four shadow clones.

Qing Ming glanced around and asked them to choose a direction, perform 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Feather Robe', fly into the sky, and investigate the surroundings.

After all, he had just arrived here. Although he didn't find any uninvited guests yesterday, there might be some today.

So, it is better to be cautious.

In fact, not just today, he will investigate every day from now on.

At the same time, not just in the morning, but at the beginning of each round of training, he would send out four shadow clones to patrol the surroundings. Anyway, with the flying ninjutsu and the Byakugan, it wouldn't take him much time.

As for the issue of chakra consumption.
With his current chakra recovery speed and reserves, this amount of chakra consumption, to be honest, is not something he takes seriously.

There was no need to stand there and wait foolishly. Once these four shadow clones discovered something was wrong, they would naturally contact him.

So, he can already do his own thing.

Looking up, Qing Ming looked at the sea in the Moon Bay in the distance.

After rushing here yesterday, he only performed one round of training, and he used the "Art of Reflecting the Heart". He did not go into the sea, so he is not clear about the specific situation of the seabed nearby.

So, today, or right now, he is going to go into the sea and find a suitable place to strengthen his body.

Recalling the information that his shadow clone had reconnaissanceed yesterday, Qing Ming flashed a few times and arrived at the edge of the cliff at Moon Bay.

Looking down from here, you can see that reefs of varying depths are densely distributed in it, some exposed above the sea surface, and some hidden underwater, like chess pieces on a chessboard, densely distributed.

However, if you continue to look down, you will find that these reefs are all connected together deep in the sea.

No, it cannot be said to be connected, they are originally one.

Yes, these reefs appear to be independent entities, but in fact they are based on the same substrate.

If you raise your sight, you will find that not only these reefs, but also Moon Island itself, are part of this base.

Well.
The so-called Moon Island is the island under Qingming's feet. Because its shape resembles a crescent moon, Qingming directly named it Moon Island.

As for what exactly is that base?
If it were an ordinary person, it would be hard to confirm.

However, Qingming, who had the white eyes, only flew around once yesterday and knew what it was.

It's very simple. It is a dead volcano that has existed for who knows how many years.

The so-called Moon Island is part of the crater. It was originally a ring, but part of it seemed to have been broken by something and turned into this dense reef.

The remaining half became the current Moon Island.
