In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
Night gradually deepened.
The battlefield fell into silence.
From last night to today, the two major battles had almost drained everyone's energy.
As a result, now, apart from the few ninjas assigned to guard the night, most of the Konoha ninjas had already fallen asleep.
However, this did not include Qingming.
Due to the delay caused by the battle, his cultivation progress had fallen behind and needed to be made up. Moreover, during today's battle, he had also gathered some chakra. Even after subtracting the excess chakra he had wasted to prevent the fog ninja reinforcements from intervening, there was still a significant surplus.
This chakra needed to be quickly absorbed and processed.
Thus, Qingming had been cultivating all this time and continued to do so.
West of Feiyu Town, in a dense forest.
Dozens of Qingming's shadow clones were scattered within, practicing various skills under the bright moonlight.
Meanwhile, the real Qingming sat cross-legged beside a campfire, mechanically practicing the "Heart Reflecting Technique" and "Sage's Palm Technique." At times, he would guide the evolution of his Sharingan, and at other times, he would strengthen his body.
It is worth noting that, after two months of continuous practice, his body was once again approaching the threshold of transformation. Although he had not yet reached the critical point, it was not far off.
Qingming estimated that, at the earliest tonight, and at the latest tomorrow, he would begin to feel that layer of shackles.
Every time he thought about this, his heart was filled with motivation.
...
Time passed second by second.
Before he knew it, it was already late at night.
After absorbing the training experience and memories from a shadow clone, Qingming sighed lightly and said, "Ah~ It seems it'll have to be tomorrow!"
His training plan for today was complete, but his body still hadn't reached the critical point for transformation, so he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Fortunately, tomorrow he had nothing else to do and could focus on his cultivation.
The battle had just ended today, and he had received news from Sano Nobuhisa that the headquarters had already heard about their recovery of Feiyu Town. They expressed surprise and promised to give them a few days of rest.
In other words, for the next few days, they wouldn't need to worry about being deployed.
Thus, Qingming could focus entirely on his training.
As for what would come after that... they would deal with it when the time came.
Shaking his head, Qingming stopped thinking too much. After extinguishing the campfire, he made a hand seal and performed the Wind Release: Wind Wings technique to fly into the air, heading towards Feiyu Town.
Tonight, everyone was resting.
Without disturbing anyone, Qingming silently returned to his assigned residence in the town. After casually washing his face, he collapsed onto the bed.
Within a few seconds, the faint sound of snoring could be heard from the room.
It was clear that, just like everyone else, Qingming was also exhausted today.
...
The next day.
Morning.
The sun had just risen.
Qingming woke up from his sleep.
He stretched lazily, washed up briefly, and then, after regaining his focus, ate a little something before leaving the town and flying to the location where he had been training the day before.
Qingming wasted no time. Upon arriving, he immediately cast the Shadow Clone Technique and began training diligently.
However, since he had more time today, he didn't create too many clones all at once.
This way, he wouldn't have to frequently recall the clones and refresh their statuses.
After assigning each clone a specific skill to practice, Qingming let them go about their tasks and entered his own training state.
Although his body was about to undergo a transformation, he didn't mindlessly repeat the "Sage's Palm Technique" to strengthen his body. Instead, he alternated between practicing the "Heart Reflecting Technique" and "Sage's Palm Technique," waiting for the right moment to arrive.
Time quickly passed, and two and a half hours later, when Qingming again practiced the "Sage's Palm Technique" to strengthen his body, he immediately sensed an invisible shackle as if something was restricting the enhancement of his body.
Having experienced this several times before, Qingming knew that this was the limit.
If he couldn't break through this shackle, no matter how many times he used the "Sage's Palm Technique," he wouldn't be able to strengthen his body any further.
Qingming raised his head and glanced at the shadow clones in the surrounding forest. With a thought, he deactivated the "Shadow Clone Technique."
With a "bang," all the shadow clones around him disappeared.
At the same time, Qingming's mind was filled with a considerable amount of training experiences and memories.
Unchanging in expression, Qingming immediately closed his eyes to absorb and digest these experiences, converting them into increased proficiency for his various techniques.
After finishing that, he began to focus on breaking through the shackles restricting his physical growth.
As usual, he first activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and then activated the pupil technique—Human's Will—hidden within his right eye.
A trickle of blood flowed from his right eye.
Immediately, an invisible force enveloped his body.
Qingming could distinctly feel that his control over his body had improved several levels, and the shackle that had previously been quite obvious became almost imperceptible.
However, this was not enough to break through it.
Without hesitation, Qingming immediately performed the "Sage's Palm Technique," using the Yang Release energy it gathered to guide his body's evolution.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Soon, thirty seconds had passed, and Qingming's "Human's Will" technique was approaching its limit.
At this point, he stopped using the technique.
Qingming checked his body and found that the invisible shackle was still there.
This didn't surprise him.
Even with the "Human's Will" technique, which theoretically could control everything within him, Qingming didn't expect to break through his physical limits in one attempt.
If breaking limits was that easy, they wouldn't be limits, would they?
What he was doing now was akin to defying fate, forcibly altering his innate abilities—such a thing could never be easy.
Even last time, it took him ten attempts to break through.
However, this time, his "Human's Will" technique, both in duration and effect, had improved significantly from the previous attempt.
As a result, Qingming expected the breakthrough to come sooner.
That said, with each successive breakthrough, the difficulty increased.
Therefore, Qingming wasn't sure whether he would manage to break through in ten attempts this time.
If the attempts were too many, it would undoubtedly put significant pressure on his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Nevertheless, no matter what, he was confident that he would eventually break through.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After a brief rest, Qingming activated the "Human's Will" technique again, then used the "Sage's Palm Technique" to guide his body's evolution.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After over thirty seconds passed, Qingming felt the "Human's Will" technique approaching its limit, so he paused once more.
No surprises—he still hadn't broken the limit, and the invisible shackle remained.
Qingming didn't feel discouraged. After a short rest, he began his attempts again.
And so, again and again, until...
The shackle finally disappeared!
