Three days later.
Northwest of Konoha.
In a forest, Qingming and others came here.
"Is this the place?"
Ryosuke looked around and asked.
"Yeah."
Furukawa nodded and said, "Next, you will collect herbs here according to the mission requirements. Remember, don't pick the wrong ones!"
That's right, they started to carry out the mission again today.
Just as Qingming thought, Furukawa did not continue to accept C-level missions, but found a D-level mission to collect herbs.
Needless to say, this mission must be issued by the Nara clan.
After all, this forest is contracted by them.
Not only are there various herbs that are difficult to cultivate artificially, but also a large herd of deer. The horns of these deer are all precious medicinal materials.
All these add up, the value is self-evident.
Therefore, even if they are ninjas from the same village, they cannot enter at will without their consent.
Only they accepted the mission, otherwise they would be stopped before they get close.
"Got it."
Hearing Furukawa's instructions, Ryosuke waved his hands impatiently and muttered, "Really? Ordinary people can do such a simple task, but we have to do it."
"Ryosuke, stop talking."
Hearing his words, Mizutani Shizuko first comforted him, and then explained seriously, "Although this forest is relatively safe, there are still wild beasts that stray into it occasionally. It will be very dangerous for ordinary people to encounter it, so we, the Genin, have to do it."
Seeing Mizutani Shizuko's serious explanation, Ryosuke hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Shizuko, stop talking, I got it!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Qingming secretly felt relieved.
Obviously, three days is enough for them to adjust their mentality.
However, the mission three days ago did not have an impact on them. Although they are now acting no different from before.
But after seeing the blood, the childishness on their faces was obviously much less.
And this is probably the purpose of Furukawa and even the village.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.
Qing Ming thought about it, gathered some chakra under his feet, and then followed the footsteps of his two companions to the depths of the dense forest.
After more than three days and nearly four days of practice, his 'Chakra Control' has been upgraded from lv2 (350/500) to lv3 (3/1000), and his control over chakra has been further strengthened.
Now, when he performs the same ninjutsu, he can save 15% of chakra while ensuring that the power remains unchanged.
This is already the limit that ordinary people can achieve.
Even if he has the proficiency panel bonus, he can ensure continuous progress, but it is unlikely to have a new breakthrough in a short period of time. There is no other reason.
After being promoted to lv3, the efficiency of brushing proficiency has been greatly reduced.
Before, he could brush about 40 to 50 points of proficiency a day, but now it is only five points at most.
Compared with the effort, this gain is not worth mentioning.
It is also that practicing 'Chakra Control' does not consume too much chakra, and it does not take up his extra time, otherwise he would have stopped long ago.
Before obtaining a more effective way to exercise, he no longer intends to waste too much time and energy on it.
In the future, he would probably only practice in his spare time.
Just like now, when he was collecting herbs, he could practice when he had nothing to do.
"Qingming, hurry up!"
Just when Qingming was daydreaming, Liangjie's voice came from the front.
Hearing this, Qingming replied, "Coming."
As he spoke, he had already approached.
Time passed slowly, and Qingming and the other two were just like when they graduated, carrying out D-level tasks that had no technical content.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
That night.
At home. Qingming opened his eyes, letting the special chakra in his brain stimulated by the "Reflection of the Heart Technique" dissipate, and slowly opened the panel.
[Name: Uchiha Qingming
Age: 10 years old
Constitution: 6
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 14 (1546→2011)
Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (81/100)
Skills: Chakra Refining Technique: lv2 (240/500) → lv2 (360/500)
Clone Technique: lv2 (140/500) → lv2 (270/500)
Transformation Technique: lv2 (130/500) → lv2 (260/500)
Substitution Technique: lv2 (110/500) ) → lv2 (250/500)
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique: lv1 (16/200) → lv1 (30/200)
Heart Reflection Technique: lv2 (110/500)
Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (150/500) → lv2 (280/500)
Ninja Tool Throwing: lv2 (260/500) → lv2 (380/500)
Chakra Control: lv3 (25/1000)]
Overlooking the basic attributes, Qingming locked onto the awakening progress of the Sharingan at a glance.
"Sure enough, it hasn't increased?"
Looking at the Sharingan awakening progress still at (81/100) on the panel, Qingming murmured.
Just now he felt that the stamina of the 'Heart Reflection Technique' was insufficient, and now it was indeed the case.
According to the rules summarized before, the level of the "Heart-Reflecting Technique" upgraded to lv2 (110/500) should allow his Sharingan to awaken to (82/100).
But the reality is that its progress is still at (81/100).
"Sure enough, did the worry happen? "
A long time ago, Qingming knew that it was not so easy to awaken the Sharingan, and the effect of the "Heart-Reflecting Technique" would inevitably become worse and worse as the awakening progress increased.
Sure enough, when the Sharingan awakening degree reached (81/100), the proficiency of ten points of the "Heart-Reflecting Technique" was not enough to make it advance one point.
If it were other Uchiha clan members, they would basically be stuck here.
After that, they would either wait for an opportunity and open their eyes in the traditional way like the Uchiha clan members who had awakened the Sharingan in the past, or work hard to improve the proficiency of the "Heart-Reflecting Technique" and grind slowly.
If the former succeeds, it will inevitably weaken the effect of the "Heart-Reflecting Technique", and the latter basically sees no hope.
Because this is just a beginning.
Now, the proficiency of 10 points in the "Reflection of the Heart Technique" can't bring any awakening of the Sharingan, and it may not be able to bring it up to 20 or 30 points in the future.
This is a road with no end in sight.
Of course, Qingming is different.
With the proficiency panel, he can easily improve the proficiency of the "Reflection of the Heart Technique". No matter how long the road is, he can see the end.
Repressing the urge to continue practicing the "Reflection of the Heart Technique", Qingming looked at the other parts of the panel.
Not to mention the three body techniques, "basic physical techniques", and "ninja tool throwing", the improvement speed has not changed much - in ten days, almost more than 100 points of proficiency have been increased.
However, the chakra limit is more than ten points less than expected.
Originally, the proficiency of the "chakra refining technique" increased by 120 points, and the chakra limit should have increased by 480 points.
1546+480=2026.
But now, his chakra limit is only 2011 points, 15 points less than the theoretical value.
The reason for this is very simple, his "barrel" is about to reach its limit.
The 'Chakra Refining Technique' accelerated the process of tapping his potential, but it could not raise his aptitude limit.
Right now, the chakra limit raised by it is only a dozen points lower than the theoretical value. After a while, it may be dozens of points.
When his potential is fully tapped, the effect of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' may only be the restoration of chakra.
"I have to awaken the Sharingan as soon as possible. Only by awakening the Sharingan can I greatly improve my aptitude."
With a murmur, Qingming closed the panel and began a new round of training.
