Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 960 Introduction and Planning

In a flash, several hours passed.

It's late afternoon.

After performing the 'Wood Clone Technique' more than a thousand times in succession, Qingming successfully accumulated a hundred points of proficiency, advancing it from lv0 to lv1.

This marked the successful entry into his 'Wood Clone Technique'.

From then on, under normal circumstances, he would not fail when performing this technique, and the situation where the wooden clone he created would not suddenly disintegrate and dissipate like it did in the beginning would not happen again.

Of course, with his current level 1, the number and quality of the wooden clones he created are far inferior to those of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

After all, the wooden clones created by these two people can fight against the five Kage.

Qingming even felt that even if he mastered the 'Wood Clone Technique' to perfection, he might not be able to reach their level.

It's simple, his mastery of the bloodline limit of "Wood Release" is too low.

On the surface, the strength and quality of the wood clones created by the 'Wood Clone Technique' seem to be related to the proficiency of the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

In fact, it depends on the degree of mastery of Wood Release.

Currently, his Wood Release has only evolved once, and is at most at the level of Yamato. The wood clone created from it will naturally not be that strong.

But no matter what, with the blessing of the Sharingan, its strength is definitely far stronger than that of ordinary shadow clones.

In addition, Qingming also discovered that as he continued to perform the 'Wood Clone Technique' and accumulated proficiency, the evolution of his 'Wood Release' was also slowly increasing.

In this case, he doesn't have to do anything, the strength of his wooden clone will increase.

Although Qingming had no intention of actively improving the evolution of his bloodline limit of 'Wood Release' from the beginning, he would not refuse if it passively increased during his practice of the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

The only thing he needed to worry about was the consumption of chakra.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming opened the panel and checked the amount of chakra on it. At the same time, he calculated the chakra he had recovered in the past few hours, as well as the chakra that had been drawn from the alien space between his eyebrows.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that in the past few hours, he had practiced the 'Wood Clone Technique' from level 0 to level 1, consuming a total of chakras.

On average, each time he cast the 'Wood Clone Technique', he needed to consume about 500 points of chakra.

However, this is before getting started. After getting started, its consumption may not be certain.

Looking up at the sunset in the sky, Qingming, as usual, took back the shadow clones that were developing Storm Release in various places on the island. After absorbing and digesting their training experience in the past hour, he began to practice the 'Wood Clone Technique' again.

Time passes minute by minute.

Almost another hour later.

青冥积攒了两百点熟练度，成功的将‘木分身之术’从lv1（1/200）肝到了lv2（1/500）！
Look at the chakra consumption again - fifty thousand points!

That's right, this time accumulating 200 points of proficiency only consumed 50,000 points of chakra. On average, for every point of proficiency gained, he only needed to consume 250 points of chakra.

Although this consumption is still higher than that of most skills, it is still much less than the 500 chakra points required to reach a certain level of proficiency before entering the game.

Therefore, Qing Ming could barely accept it.

The next step is to think about how much time to devote to this ninjutsu every day and how much chakra to invest.

Qing Ming's eyes passed over the degree of evolution of the Sharingan, then sensed the degree of evolution of his own body, and finally glanced at the 26-point 'Constitution' attribute and the 28-point 'Spirit' attribute on the panel.

Finally, he made the decision to keep the same time for strengthening his body every day and take out two hours from the evolution of Sharingan to perform the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Why choose this?
The reason is actually very simple, his 'physique' attribute and 'spiritual' attribute are too unbalanced.

He knew from a long time ago that the further in time passed, the greater the gap between each attribute would be.

And now, his 'spiritual' attribute is two points higher than his 'physical' attribute, which, to a certain extent, causes his mental power to oppress his body.

Refer to Uchiha Itachi's situation, we know that this is definitely not a good phenomenon. It can be predicted that if this gap continues to widen, it will most likely induce a blood disease, especially after he has developed "Wood Release", "Melting Release" and "Ice Release" in succession, and his gene carrying capacity is close to the limit, this is even more so.

Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately slow down the improvement of the 'spiritual' attribute.

The most important way for him to improve his 'spiritual' attribute is to perform the 'Mind Reflection Technique' to evolve the Sharingan and then feed back to the spirit.

In this case, it is naturally time to use the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".

In the past, he used to practice the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' for about six hours a day. Minus two hours, that would be four hours.

In four hours, his Sharingan's evolution level can be increased by about eighty points.

In other words, from today until the completion of the 'Wood Clone Technique', the degree of evolution of his Sharingan will be reduced from one hundred and twenty-five points per day to eighty points.

This will save him about a million chakra points.

Qing Ming plans to extract 100,000 points of these chakras to practice the "Wood Clone Technique".

As for the others, they are all stored in the special space between the eyebrows for later use.

After having a plan in mind, Qingming began to calculate the time required to perfect the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

First of all, the potential of the 'Wood Clone Technique' is slightly higher than that of the 'Shadow Clone Technique', reaching A-level.

That is to say, its upper limit level should be lv9.

而从lv2升至lv9，需要88500（=500+1000+2000+5000+10000+20000+50000）点熟练度。

And if he practices the 'Wood Clone Technique' for two hours every day, he can gain 400 points of proficiency.

Eighty-eight thousand five hundred proficiency points would take about two hundred and twenty days.

In other words, it would take him seven full months to perfect the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

And seven months
It was almost enough for him to increase his Constitution attribute by two points.

However, if you want to catch up with the 'Spirit' attribute, it is still not enough.

As for the reason
It's very simple. In more than three weeks, his 'white eyes' will be advanced, and by then it is likely that his 'spiritual' attribute will also be improved a little.

Similarly, even if he only increased his Sharingan's evolution degree by 80 points every day, seven months would be enough for his Sharingan's evolution degree to increase by more than 17,000 points.

These more than 30000 points of evolution, plus the current evolution of his Sharingan, can almost reach (100000/), which is enough for him to break through one or two small levels.

And according to his previous breakthrough in the evolution of his Sharingan (10000/100000), these one or two small levels will most likely allow his 'spiritual' attribute to increase by another point or two.

In this way, the final result may be that seven months later, his 'spiritual' attribute is still more than two points higher than his 'physical' attribute.

Therefore, setting aside two hours to practice the 'Wood Clone Technique' was not only his active choice, but also a passive choice made out of necessity.

Not only that, he also needs to further speed up the strengthening of his body and increase the 'Physique' attribute faster.

Otherwise, he would have to spend more time practicing the 'Wood Clone Technique' to reduce the speed at which the Sharingan's evolution accumulates.

At this moment, Qing Ming vaguely realized why Uchiha Madara did not evolve the Rinnegan until his later years.

This is not only because the amount of chakra required is very large, nor is it just because he does not have the right method. More importantly, it may be that his body cannot bear it. He needs to adapt his body to the constantly evolving Sharingan little by little.

Otherwise, the moment he evolved the Rinnegan would be the moment his body started to have problems.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. At this moment, Qingming thought a lot, but finally suppressed them all in his heart.

He looked up at the night sky, and when he felt that the time was almost up, he swallowed several enhanced ration pills in succession. After replenishing the energy he had just consumed, he began to nourish his white eyes.

This was his last practice of the day.
