Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye, another two days have passed.

In these two days, nothing has happened, and everything seems so peaceful.

At the front-line camp, the Cloud Hidden Village's investigation team has already left Ghost Crying Forest.

Initially, Qing Ming and Nara Fufeng were still vigilant for a while, worried that they would be exasperated and launch a second large-scale attack regardless.

However, the facts prove that Cloud Hidden Village is not so unwise.

Also, although Cloud Hidden Village is a village where militant factions are in power and is inherently warlike, they are not fools.

The most fundamental purpose of their surprise attack was to test the Hidden Leaf Village, to test the control of the new Fourth Hokage, Wave Feng Shuimen, over the village, as well as his style of doing things.

Now that the goal has been achieved, they naturally cannot continue to take risks.

As the saying goes, willing to bet and admit defeat.

Since they prepared manpower for a sneak attack, they must be prepared to be countered.

Indeed, the death of three elite squads made them feel the pain, but Cloud Hidden Village is not a small ninja village, and they can still bear such losses, which is not enough to make them lose their minds.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the long period of time to come, the Cloud Hidden Front will most likely return to the previous state of 'minor skirmishes'.

This is definitely good news for Qing Ming.

At least, he doesn't have to spend more effort on the battlefield.

In this way, he can concentrate more on his own cultivation.

Speaking of cultivation, Qing Ming moved his mind and opened the proficiency panel.

It can be seen that, just like two days ago, he has not improved any skills in the past two days.

However, there is an extra skill on his panel - Ninpou: Mind Reading Technique!

A long time ago, when he discovered some records about this technique of the Yamanaka clan in Danzo's collection, he separated shadow clones to study it in his spare time.

Now, after nearly half a month of study, he has finally developed his own unique mind-reading secret technique by referring to these records and combining his own experience of reading minds using 'Illusion Arts: Sharingan'.

Qing Ming was too lazy to bother, so he directly named it 'Ninpou: Mind Reading Technique'.

It is worth mentioning that this technique appeared in the lv1 introductory state.

However, he does not have extra chakra to invest in it for the time being.

Therefore, it can only be maintained at this level.

Qing Ming is not very anxious about this.

First, it will not take long for his 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' to successfully advance to the perfect state of lv9 (0/0).

At that time, he will have 200,000 points of chakra to spare every day, and he can completely separate a part of it to improve this technique.

Secondly, there are no enemies for the time being that require him to use this technique.

Thirdly...

His 'Illusion Arts: Sharingan' is still available, even if there is an accident that requires him to perform mind reading, he can continue to use this technique.

Therefore, Qing Ming is not very anxious.

Quickly regaining his thoughts, Qing Ming closed the panel and waited quietly for a moment.

Suddenly, a chakra appeared out of thin air and poured into his body.

Along with it, there was also a slightly dull memory.

This memory does not belong to other people, but to the shadow clone responsible for guarding Shemu.

Qing Ming closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and quickly browsed these memories.

After confirming that Shemu and the Seven Tails in his body had not changed, he raised his hands, crossed them into the 'Ren' seal, and once again performed the ninjutsu - Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

Boom~

As a cloud of chakra smoke exploded, more than a dozen figures appeared in the field.

Qing Ming looked at one of them and said, "You go to the Seven Tails."

"Okay!"

Hearing this, the shadow clone did not talk nonsense, responded, and then used 'Wind Style: Wings of Wind' and 'Chakra Cloak' to fly into the sky and towards the deserted island.

In his sight, the figure quickly became smaller, and after a while, it disappeared from his eyes.

Retracting his gaze, Qing Ming looked at the others, arranged their respective cultivation tasks as usual, and then began the third round of cultivation today.

That's right, from getting up in the morning until now, he has been practicing for more than two hours.

At the same time, he also absorbed two rounds of Seven Tails' chakra.

It's not that he doesn't want to extract more chakra at once, but even if the Seven Tails' chakra 'penetrates' out, there is a process.

Therefore, Qing Ming simply kept the frequency of extraction consistent with the frequency of recovering shadow clones to update their status.

This can save him a lot of trouble.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Qing Ming regained his thoughts, stopped thinking too much, and seriously began his cultivation.

······

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

When Qing Ming once again recovered his shadow clones and digested their cultivation experience and memories, his 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' successfully advanced to lv9.

This is his fifth A-level ninjutsu that he has cultivated to the perfect state after 'Spiral Pill', 'Healing Hands Technique', 'Mind Reflection Technique' and 'Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique'.

Recalling the various things in it, Qing Ming only felt that his understanding of the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' had deepened several levels.

Now, when he uses this technique again, he can not only separate more shadow shurikens, but also control them more accurately.

It is foreseeable that the power of this technique will be greatly improved in his hands, and the threat to middle and lower ninjas will also increase a level.

Even if it is a Jonin, if he is attacked by concentrated fire, I am afraid that he will have to be in a mess for a while.

In addition, the perfection of this technique has also increased his 'Chakra Control' by nearly a thousand points of proficiency.

Now, its proficiency has reached lv6 (9100/10000), and it is not far from advancing to lv7.

Qing Ming has a feeling that when this skill is upgraded to lv7 and undergoes a qualitative change, his consumption will be greatly reduced when he practices other skills.

At that time, with the same amount of chakra, he can gain more proficiency, and the speed of skill advancement will be greatly improved.

However, these are all things for later.

Now, the benefit that its advancement brings to him is that he will have an extra 200,000 points of freely disposable chakra every day in the future.

After a little thought, Qing Ming decided to use 91,000 points of chakra on the practice of 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

In this way, plus the 209,000 points of chakra originally invested in it, that is a full 300,000 points.

In this way, the proficiency he can gain every day will increase from 1390 points to 2000 points, and the speed of advancement to lv8 will be greatly increased.

As for the remaining 109,000 points of chakra...

Qing Ming did not hesitate at all, and directly put all of them on the newly acquired 'Ninpou: Mind Reading Technique'.

Before, Qing Ming had done a test, it seems that because his mental power far exceeds ordinary people, practicing this technique only needs an average of 100 points of chakra to improve one point of proficiency.

In this way, 109,000 points of chakra is 1090 points of proficiency.

In this way, it is foreseeable that it will not take long for the level of this skill to be improved.

At that time, it will definitely be easier to read the target's memory when needed.

After allocating the chakra, Qing Ming did not waste time, immediately raised his hand to form a seal, and once again performed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

Boom~

As a cloud of chakra smoke exploded, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the field.

Just like before, Qing Ming ordered one of them to go to the deserted island to replace the shadow clone who had just returned, and continue to perform the task of guarding and extracting the Seven Tails' chakra.

As for the rest of the people...

Then continue to practice.
