Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 944 Planning
Recalling the situation that his shadow clone had roughly reconnoitred yesterday, Qing Ming opened his Byakugan, selected a suitable location, and dived into the sea.

Thump~
A large amount of sea water was stirred up and splashed in all directions.

After a few breaths, a figure emerged from the water and stood on the sea.

At this time, he was already hundreds of meters away.

However, this is still not Qingming's goal.

With chakra attached to the soles of his feet, he stepped on the sea as if he was walking on land.

Ignoring the waves coming from the front, Qing Ming walked quickly forward and soon arrived at the sea one kilometer away.

Looking down from here is the side wall of the volcano.

Qingming took a deep breath and filled his lungs with air.

Then, he mobilized the chakra in his body and performed the 'Lightning Chakra Mode', wrapping himself in a layer of Lightning Chakra.

This is not the end.
In order to get to the deepest part of the sea as quickly as possible, Qingming formed seals and performed the 'Earth Escape: Super Heavy Rock Technique' to increase his own density.

Going down along the side of the volcano, he soon arrived at a distance of 450 to 460 meters from the sea.

This was about the same depth as the bottom of the trench where he had been before.

And now, he felt that he could go further down.

However, just in case, Qing Ming still cancelled the 'Earth Escape: Super Heavy Rock Technique' to prevent himself from descending too quickly.

At the same time, he also left a Flying Thunder God mark on the side wall behind him.

This way, the next time he comes over, he can directly perform the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Withdrawing his hand, Qingming continued to move down.

One meter, two meters, five meters, ten meters.
Soon, Qingming descended to a depth of five hundred meters.

However, this is still not his limit.

Qing Ming paused for a moment, then continued to go down until he reached a depth of 540 meters, then he stopped.

At this moment, even with the protection of the 'Thunder Escape Film', his body felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he was under tremendous pressure, and there was no part of his body that didn't hurt.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qing Ming quickly activated the "Palm Immortal Technique" and "Human Control".

A stream of Yang Release Chakra emerged in his body.

Then, under the guidance and coordination of "Human Control", it quickly traveled along the chakra meridians, and in a short while, it invaded every cell in his body.

Under its nourishment, Qingming soon felt a sense of relaxation.

After looking around, he finally found a relatively flat rock wall.

Then, just like in the trench, he raised his hands, formed seals, and performed the "Water Style: Water Breaking Wave", cutting a sunken platform on the rock wall.

After moving the rubble away, Qing Ming walked in and immediately began to strengthen his body according to the records in the 'Lightning Chakra Mode' and some of his own experience.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, an hour passed.

Qingming did not teleport directly back to Moon Island.

This time is different from the previous trench. He is in a deeper place and is under greater pressure. If he is teleported out rashly, he will most likely be injured by the sudden change in pressure.

so.
'Let's go back to the location of the Flying Thunder God Mark first, and then teleport out!'

Qing Ming did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately walked out of the training platform and performed the "Earth Escape·Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique". After reducing his own density, he flew up quickly along the cliff.

Soon, he came to the place with the Flying Thunder God mark. The next moment, the "Flying Thunder God Technique" was activated, and Qingming returned to the compacted open space in the center of Moon Island.

A familiar feeling of swelling came over Qingming, and his face flushed, but soon returned to normal.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling lightly, Qing Ming released the 'Earth Escape: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique' and the 'Lightning Escape: Chakra Mode'.

However, he was not in a hurry to retrieve those shadow clones, but first checked the results of his training.

Compared to that trench, after enduring more harsh environmental pressure, his evolution speed was obviously faster.

Although the chakra consumption has increased, compared with the improvement in training efficiency, the increased chakra consumption is nothing.

Of course, this was also because after the last upgrade of his 'Spirit' attribute, he gained 700,000 points of freely disposable chakra. In addition to the 400,000 points allocated every day for the development of Ice Escape, he still had 300,000 points left.

These chakras are enough for Qingming to last for a long time without having to worry about the increased consumption of body strengthening.

On the contrary, what he should be more concerned about now is when he will adapt to the worst environment here, which will cause his cultivation efficiency to stagnate again.

However, after recalling the situation of this place, Qingming felt that he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

There is no other reason. According to the investigation conducted by him and his shadow clone, the depth of this extinct underwater volcano is more than 1,200 meters.

Even though he just went down from 456 meters to 540 meters directly, that was the result of his accumulated experience.

Next time, it would be impossible for him to dive to such a depth in one go.

Therefore, this depth of 1,200 meters is enough for him to adapt for a long time.

To put it another way, even if he dived to the bottom, he could still change his method and continue to endure even harsher environments.

As for what method.
It's simple, just enter the inside of the volcano.

Don't think that this is a dead volcano and there is no danger inside. It just relieved some of the pressure and it will no longer erupt. The degree of danger inside is only greater than the high water pressure outside.

Therefore, when necessary, he can use the earth escape ninjutsu to enter and withstand even harsher environments.

And this is what Qingming had said before, that this island, whether it is the surrounding waters or the island itself, is very suitable for him to use to strengthen his body.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts and began to estimate the time of his next body transformation based on the results of his previous practice.

After a few minutes, Qingming came to a conclusion.

If he continued to practice in the deeper seabed at the same speed as he had adapted to the island in the southern waters of the Fire Nation, he could save about half a month to twenty days of time.

Last time, after Wood Release evolved, he estimated that his body would undergo a transformation in late June or early July.

Now, it has become early to mid-June.

In other words, in about two months, his body will be able to undergo the transformation.

Of course, all of the above are just his estimates. If something else happens along the way, the time of transformation will change accordingly.

Qingming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the more than two hundred shadow clones that were practicing inside and outside the island. With a thought, he released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, a large amount of memory information flooded into his mind.

Qing Ming did not hesitate at all. He immediately closed his eyes and began to browse the memory information, absorbing and digesting the cultivation experience contained therein.

It is worth mentioning that the four shadow clones he had sent out before did not find anything abnormal.

After they made a circle, they returned to the island and began to practice the fusion ice escape technique like the other shadow clones.
