Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Three days later.

Early morning.

Qingming walked out of the tent and walked through the base camp. Looking at the people coming and going, he inexplicably felt a sense of oppression that a storm was coming.

Qingming knew where this feeling came from - with Orochimaru's character, it was absolutely impossible for him to just take a beating and not fight back.

The ambush in the canyon was one time, and the sneak attack three days ago was another time. After suffering two losses in a row, Orochimaru could not fail to retaliate.

He had reason to suspect that the other party was holding back a big move.

However

Qingming glanced at the traces of smoke and fire around him, knowing that even if he wanted to retaliate, it would not be a short-term thing.

Three days ago, although Konoha blocked the joint raid of the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, more than half of the supplies in the base camp were burned.

Therefore, before the new supplies arrived, Orochimaru was unlikely to make any big moves.

And according to the speed at which they rushed to the battlefield of the Rain Country a month ago, it would take at least twenty days to deliver the supplies from Konoha to here.

That's not even counting the time to collect supplies. If someone messes up during the transportation of supplies, it will take even longer.

Qingming estimated that it would take at least a month to complete the task.

In other words, there is a high probability that there will not be large-scale battles in the next month.

This made him relax a little.

······

Leaving the base camp, passing through several lines of defense, Qingming came to a dense forest on the northwest side of the base camp.

As soon as he approached here, he heard a few shouts of hammering tree stumps, and there were also clinking sounds of weapons colliding in the distance.

Qingming was no longer surprised by this.

This was originally a place allocated by the base camp for ninja training, and it was normal for someone to practice here.

Even in wartime, ninjas could not perform tasks all year round. Basically, every ten days or half a month, they would get a few days of rest.

And under the pressure of the battlefield, many ninjas would choose to practice during this period to improve their strength.

In order to facilitate management, the base camp specially allocated this area.

In the more than one month since he came to the battlefield, Qingming would come here whenever he had time, especially in the past three days, he would come here to practice every day.

Quickly coming to an empty corner, Qingming drew out a short sword.

This short sword was seized from Bai Shi Cang Dou. The sword was about half a meter long, the sword body was silver-white, and the whole body was made of fine iron mixed with some chakra-conducting metals.

Not only is it sturdy and durable, but it also has a good energy transmission efficiency.

Unfortunately, Qingming's fire escape ninjutsu level is not high, and his understanding of fire attribute chakra is too shallow. He failed to complete the morphological and property changes of the corresponding attribute chakra, and could not exert the full power of this short blade.

Otherwise, if he used the "Fire Blade", the enemy would not only suffer physical damage, but also have to endure the high temperature burns of the flame.

Shaking his head, putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Qingming began to practice the "Konoha Style Swordsmanship".

That's right, Qingming has exchanged for the "Konoha Style Swordsmanship", and the process was very smooth, without any shitty things happening.

During the practice, Qingming discovered that the perfection of the ‘Basic Physical Skills’ actually had a bonus to it.

In just less than three days, he had already mastered the ‘Konoha Style Swordsmanship’ and even reached the level 1 (60/200).

According to Qingming’s estimation, the learning difficulty of ‘Konoha Style Swordsmanship’ should be at level C. Even if it does not consume too much chakra during practice, it will take at least three days to master it.

In comparison, this is not a little bit faster.

As for the reason?

Qingming has roughly figured it out, that is, many techniques in the ‘Basic Physical Skills’ are actually included in the ‘Konoha Style Swordsmanship’.

In this way, the perfection of the ‘Basic Physical Skills’ is equivalent to him learning part of the content of the ‘Konoha Style Swordsmanship’ in advance.

So, the progress is so fast!

However, Qingming estimated that this bonus effect is also limited, and it is impossible to always assist the growth of the ‘Konoha Style Swordsmanship’.

After all, there are only so many things contained in the ‘Basic Physical Skills’, and when these foundations are consumed, they will naturally be useless.

Things developed almost as he expected.

Two days later.

Morning.

When Qingming completed the practice of "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" again, his proficiency increased only a little.

At the same time, on his panel, the "Basic Physical Skills" in the skill bar suddenly disappeared after a flash.

At first, Qingming was still worried for a while, but after confirming that the relevant knowledge was still in his mind, he was relieved.

It is obvious that the "Basic Physical Skills" were completely absorbed by the "Konoha Style Swordsmanship".

At this time, the level of his "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" was lv1 (181/200).

Seeing that he was about to be promoted, Qingming naturally would not waste time. After a short rest, he started a new round of practice.

However, without the buff of "Basic Physical Skills", the practice speed inevitably slowed down.

It was not until the afternoon that he finally reached lv2 (1/500) of "Konoha Style Swordsmanship".

At this moment, although Qingming was not a master of swordsmanship, he was also quite good at playing with the short blade in his hand.

After playing for a while, Qingming put down the short blade in his hand and began to review the whole process of practicing the "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" in the past few days.

One thing is clear, that is, his "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" can improve so quickly, which is absolutely inseparable from the "Basic Physical Skills" that he has already practiced to perfection.

From this, Qingming couldn't help but think of the situation when he first learned the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique'.

At that time, it was because he had mastered the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' to level 1 early that he was able to quickly enter the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique'.

Even the 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' that he learned later was because he had mastered the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' and the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' one after another, so that he could accumulate proficiency at a faster rate.

At that time, he discovered a rule, that is, the same attribute ninjutsu can promote each other to a certain extent.

But after all three ninjutsu were upgraded to level 1, this effect was not obvious, or almost non-existent.

So, he didn't continue to study it.

Now, Qingming found that he was wrong.

He shouldn't have upgraded the levels of the three fire style ninjutsu at the same time.

Because they are all C-level ninjutsu, if the proficiency is not much different, there is no point in learning from each other.

So, the proficiency can only increase little by little.

The correct approach should be to first improve the level of a ninjutsu, so as to master the advanced usage of the corresponding attribute chakra, and then learn other related ninjutsu.

In this way, it is equivalent to senior students doing the test questions of junior students, and the process will naturally be much easier.

Reflected on the panel, the proficiency is doubled.

In this way, not only can time be saved, but also chakra can be saved.

This made Qingming regret not thinking of these earlier.

Fortunately, it is not too late.

Qingming opened the panel and took a glance, and finally decided to first improve the level of ‘Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Style’ among the three fire style ninjutsu.

The reason for choosing this is very simple, it is the most practical.

As for other skills.

The correlation is not too great, just improve them step by step.
