Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Chapter 585: Shackles

In a flash, several hours passed.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

There was silence on the battlefield.

From last night to today, there were two battles, which almost drained everyone's energy.

Therefore, except for some ninjas responsible for the night watch, most of the Konoha ninjas have fallen asleep.

However, this does not include Qing Ming.

Because of the delay in this battle, his cultivation progress dropped a bit, and he had to make up for it.

Moreover, in today's battle, he also plundered some chakra. Even if you exclude the chakra that was wasted in the end to prevent the sea fog ninja's support, there is still a lot of surplus.

He also needs to digest these chakras as soon as possible.

Therefore, Qing Ming has been practicing until now and is still continuing.

West of Feiyu Town.

In a dense forest.

Dozens of Qing Ming's shadow clones were scattered among them, practicing each skill seriously under the still bright moonlight.

As for Qingming's body, he was sitting cross-legged next to a bonfire, mechanically practicing the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' and 'Palm Senjutsu', one moment guiding the evolution of his Sharingan, and the other strengthening his body.

It is worth mentioning that two months have passed and his body has once again reached the edge of transformation. Although it has not yet reached the critical point, it is not far away.

Qing Ming estimated that he would be able to feel the shackles at the earliest tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

At that time, if he uses the 'Human Control' to break it, his body will undergo transformation and his potential will reach a new level.

Every time he thought of this, Qing Ming's heart was filled with motivation.

······

Time passes minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

After absorbing the training experience and memory of a shadow clone as usual, Qing Ming sighed softly and said: "Hey~, it seems that it still has to be tomorrow!"

Today, his practice plan has been completed, but his body still has not reached the critical point of transformation, so he can only wait until tomorrow.

Fortunately, he has nothing to do tomorrow and can practice with peace of mind.

Just after the war ended today, he received news from Nobuhisa Sano, saying that the headquarters had learned about their recapture of Feiyu Town. While expressing surprise at this, he promised to give them a few days to rest.

In other words, they don’t have to worry about being transferred in the next few days.

Therefore, Qing Ming can practice with peace of mind.

As for what happens next.

Let’s talk about that later.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it. After extinguishing the bonfire, he raised his hand to form a seal, used the Ninjutsu - Wind Release and Wings of Wind, and flew into the sky towards the direction of Feiyu Town.

Everyone is resting here tonight.

Without disturbing others, Qing Ming quietly returned to the residence assigned to him in the town. After washing his face casually, he fell on the bed.

Just a few seconds later, subtle snoring could be heard in the house.

Obviously, he was also very tired today.

······

The next day.

early morning.

The sun has just risen.

Qing Ming woke up from his sleep.

He stretched, washed a little, regained his energy, ate something casually, left the town, and flew to the place where he practiced yesterday.

Qing Ming didn't waste any time. After arriving here, he immediately used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and started practicing in full swing.

However, because he had plenty of time today, he did not create too many shadow clones at once.

This way, he wouldn't have to take back his shadow clones frequently and refresh their status. After arranging the skills for several shadow clones to practice, Qing Ming asked them to leave, and then entered the state of cultivation himself.

Although his body was about to undergo transformation, he still did not boringly repeatedly perform the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to strengthen his body. Instead, he took turns performing it with the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', waiting for the moment when everything was ready.

In a flash, the time came to two and a half hours later.

When Qing Ming used the 'Palm Immortal Technique' again to strengthen his body, he immediately felt an invisible shackles that seemed to be restricting his physical enhancement.

Qing Ming, who has had several experiences, knows that this is the limit.

If he can't break through this shackles, then no matter how he uses the 'Palm Immortal Technique', he won't be able to strengthen his body.

Qing Ming raised his head, glanced at the shadow clones in the surrounding forest, and with a thought, released the 'shadow clone technique'.

With a "bang", all the shadow clones around him disappeared.

At the same time, Qing Ming had a lot more practice experiences and memories in his mind.

Qing Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately closed his eyes to comprehend these experiences, digesting and absorbing them, and turning them into proficiency in each skill.

After doing this, he began to break through the shackles of the body.

Just like before, he first opened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then activated the pupil technique residing in his right eye - Human Control!

A stream of blood flowed from his right eye.

Then, an invisible force blessed him.

Qing Ming can clearly feel that his control over his body has improved by several levels, and the shackles that were so obvious before have become as if they were nothing.

But that's not enough to break it.

Without any hesitation, Qing Ming immediately performed the 'Palm Immortal Technique', using its condensed Yang Escape power to guide the body's evolution.

One second, two seconds, three seconds

Soon, more than thirty seconds passed, and the duration of Qing Ming's 'Human Control' was approaching its limit.

Immediately, he stopped performing the technique.

Qing Ming felt it, and the invisible shackles were still there.

Qing Ming was not surprised by this either.

Even with the 'Human Control', a pupil technique that could theoretically control everything about himself, Qing Ming didn't think he could break the physical limit in one go.

If a limit were so easy to break, it wouldn't be a limit at all.

What he is doing now is to change the fate of ordinary people, and forcefully change his innate qualifications. How could it be such an easy thing?

Even last time, he tried ten times before he achieved the breakthrough.

However, this time, both the duration and the effect of his 'Human Control' were greatly improved compared to the last time.

In this way, it should be faster.

But then again, as the number of times the limit is broken increases, the difficulty also increases.

Therefore, Qing Ming is not sure whether he can complete the breakthrough within ten times this time.

If used too many times, it will undoubtedly put greater pressure on his Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, no matter what, it will definitely break through in the end.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. After almost resting, Qing Ming once again activated the power of 'Human Control', and then used the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to start guiding the evolution of his body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds

Another thirty seconds later.

Qing Ming felt that the power of 'Human Control' was approaching its limit, so he paused the technique again.

There were no accidents, he still didn't break the limit, and the invisible shackles still existed.

Qing Ming did not lose heart. After taking a short rest, he started trying again.

Just like this, again and again, until

That layer of shackles disappears!
