Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

The next day.

afternoon.

Qing Ming completed his routine patrol and found an opportunity to come to the cave space.

"You're here."

Seeing Qing Ming coming over, the shadow clone stationed here spoke.

"Um."

Qing Ming nodded, responded casually, and then asked the other party to release the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

The next moment, a burst of chakra flowed into his body following a mysterious connection.

Along with it, there is also the memory of the other person during this time.

Qing Ming quickly finished reading the other party's memory, and after finding no problems, he used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' again and created a shadow clone.

Without his instructions, the shadow clone left the cave space and rushed directly to the team's station.

Next, the other person will take his place and stay there.

With everything ready, Qing Ming no longer wastes time and turns around to enter the depths of the cave to complete the first harvest.

But just after taking two steps, he remembered something and suddenly said silently: "Panel!"

The next moment, the familiar light blue light curtain emerged.

Skipping the previous column, Qing Ming directly focused his attention on the 'Chakra Absorption Technique'.

Just like what he remembered, after nearly ten days of practice, its proficiency has reached lv2 (435/500), which is only 65 proficiency points away from lv3.

Considering the huge amount of chakra to be harvested next, every increase in conversion rate can lead to a lot more chakra.

Therefore, Qing Ming decided to invest some chakra first and upgrade this technique to level 3.

He did what he thought of, and Qing Ming didn't waste time. He turned around and returned to the room that his shadow clone had opened for himself, and began to practice on his own.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

After completing the performance of the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' again, a brand new perception suddenly emerged in Qing Ming's mind.

After a moment, Qing Ming opened his eyes, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He opened the panel and glanced at it, and sure enough, his 'Chakra Refining Technique' had been raised from lv2 (435/500) to lv3 (1/1000)!

"I don't know how effective it will be?"

With a murmur, Qing Ming stood up, left the room, and headed to the depths of the cave.

At this time, Qianye was no longer alone here.

In addition to him, there were six other people, namely Shafeng and his three chuunin subordinates, as well as the two unlucky guys who were left alone when Sunagakure retreated.

Facing the looks of hatred, fear, or inquiry from these people, Qing Ming went straight to Qianye.

Then, under the cannibalistic gaze of Sha Feng, the puppet master's subordinate, he completed the seal of the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' and placed his hand on Qianye's head.

A suction force came from his palm, quickly pulling out the chakra from Qianye's body.

After feeling it carefully for a moment, Qing Ming had already estimated the effect of level 3's 'Chakra Absorption Technique'.

It can absorb almost 300 points of chakra per second. Compared with the 200 points of level 2, the improvement is not a qualitative leap.

On the other hand, the conversion rate actually increased by ten percentage points again, from 60% before to 70% now.

Not to mention anything else, just with this 10% improvement, the almost fifteen hundred points of chakra he just consumed is not a waste.

Qing Ming even had the urge to raise this technique to another level and continue to enhance its effect.

However, when he saw the thousand points of proficiency, he calmed down.

Based on the calculation just now that it takes 1,500 chakra points to increase the 65-point proficiency level, a 1,000-point proficiency level is equivalent to 23,000 chakra points.

This is really not a small number.

But again, this is not an unattainable goal.

It can even be said to be very easy to implement.

Thinking like this, Qingming cast his gaze on the other six Sand Ninjas. Three magatama slowly rotated in his scarlet pupils.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze.

According to his estimation, the chakras of these people added together were about 28,000 points, plus Qianye's 5,000 points, that is 33,000 points.

So, according to the 70% conversion rate, it is 23,000 points, just enough for him to upgrade the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' from lv3 to lv4.

Of course, there will definitely be errors here.

However, with his current chakra amount, a slight error is enough to make up.

The only thing to consider is that doing so will delay the evolution of the Sharingan and the mastery of the changes in the form and nature of the fire attribute chakra.

After all, he originally intended to use these chakras in the practice of 'Reflection Heart Technique' and 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique'.

If they are diverted, it will inevitably slow down their progress.

However, as the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

If he could upgrade the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' from level 3 to level 4, according to previous experience, the chakra conversion rate would most likely be further improved.

In this way, the subsequent chakra harvested would inevitably increase, more than enough to make up for today's losses.

Moreover, if only 23,000 chakra points were diverted, it would not delay much.

With this thought, Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately came to Shafeng's side.

He once again performed the 'Chakra Refining Technique' and absorbed all the chakra that had been restored in his body into his own body.

Immediately, the chakra in Qingming's body soared to more than 11,000 points, almost reaching the limit that his chakra meridians could accommodate.

Qingming endured the discomfort of his body and tore off the tape on Qianye and Shafeng's faces.

Without waiting for them to speak, he stuffed a few ration pills into their mouths, and then quickly put the tape back on.

After finishing all this, he immediately returned to the room opened by the shadow clone, and once again worked on the proficiency of the ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’.

Two hours later, his ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’ reached level 3 (350/1000), and the chakra in his body also dropped to the warning line of 4,000 points.

After a short rest, Qingming appeared in the depths of the cave again.

This time, he still didn’t waste time. He caught three Sand Ninjas and drained their chakras.

Then, his chakra returned to a state of almost overflowing again.

After feeding them a few soldiers’ pills as usual, Qingming returned to the room again and continued to work on the proficiency of the ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’.

In this way, after spending six hours and draining the chakras of seven Sand Ninjas, he finally worked on the ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’ to level 4 (1/2000) in the middle of the night!

Without bothering to test its effect, Qingming almost fell asleep.

After repeating it a thousand times, Qingming couldn't hold on any longer, even if the positive feedback was strong.

Soon, snoring could be heard in the room.
