The sun rises and sets.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours had passed.
Qingming had been busy from late the previous night until the evening of this day. In that time, he treated over twenty seriously injured ninjas, accumulating more than 10,000 points of proficiency.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.
He saw that his "Detailed Illness Extraction Technique" had reached perfection, advancing directly from lv6 (4250/10000) to lv7 (0/0).
At the same time, his "Chakra Scalpel" had gained thousands of points of proficiency, increasing from lv7 (1800/20000) to lv7 (9200/20000), with the progress bar nearly halfway full.
Such a large amount of proficiency, even with the added bonus from practice, required a significant amount of chakra.
Fortunately, his chakra recovery speed was astonishing, allowing him to keep up with the demand.
Otherwise, even if he had the opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to make the most of it.
However, with gains, there are losses.
The long hours and the massive chakra expenditure he dedicated to treating the injured and gaining proficiency in these two skills naturally meant that his other skills had been neglected.
Qingming couldn't help this; he could only hope to gather some chakra from the Mist Ninja in the future and split some shadow clones to make up for the gap.
As for the time…
Qingming pulled his gaze away from the setting sun and looked toward the direction of Oil Port.
After yesterday's battle, today, both Konoha and the Hidden Mist had been unusually quiet.
Yet beneath this calm, there was an undeniable sense of impending tension.
Despite the fact that the Mist's decisive command led to Qingming being used as bait and the expected results not coming to fruition, they still had the upper hand. Several Mist jonin and a large group of reinforcements had been killed.
This had already given them an advantage.
From here on out, even if the Mist didn't take the initiative, Nara Keiko would not let the opportunity slip by.
In fact, not long ago, Nara Keiko had already called together the jonin to discuss the upcoming war and told everyone to be ready.
Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, a large-scale battle was inevitable.
This would likely be the final battle on this battlefield.
At that point, the outcome would completely determine their standing in the negotiations.
Qingming turned his gaze away and yawned.
Then, not wanting to remain in the cold air any longer, he returned to his tent and went to bed.
As for training, he hadn't slept in over thirty hours and needed rest. He'd worry about training once he woke up.
As for the hospital work…
He had done everything he could. There was nothing more for him to do.
In fact, there weren't many injured left. If those severely wounded hadn't stabilized in the past twenty hours, they were essentially beyond saving.
Over the past day, he had seen many bodies being carried out of the hospital.
He sighed inwardly, closed his eyes, and within moments, faint snoring could be heard.
The next day.
Morning.
The sky was still dim.
Inside the tent.
Qingming's eyelids fluttered slightly.
The next moment, he opened his eyes.
His gaze was confused, his expression dazed. He looked as if he had woken up from a deep sleep.
And indeed, that was the case.
From the previous evening until now, Qingming had slept for eleven or twelve hours. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept for such a long stretch.
Thus, when he woke up, he felt somewhat disoriented.
But after a few seconds, his mind cleared, and his thoughts began to run smoothly.
Qingming pushed himself up from the bed, casually dressed, and stretched.
At that moment, he felt completely refreshed, as though even his thought process had quickened.
Qingming, feeling his condition, murmured to himself, "Looks like I'll need to extend my rest time a bit from now on."
Even training needs balance—too much urgency leads to burnout.
Over the past period, he had been too eager for quick results, squeezing out sleep time, unknowingly accumulating fatigue.
That's probably why he had slept for over ten hours last night.
If this continued, it would negatively affect his training.
Fortunately, Qingming had woken up in time.
Moreover, his "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu" had already reached its perfect level, so he didn't have to worry about not completing his training tasks despite extending his rest.
With these thoughts in mind, Qingming quickly washed up, had some food, and filled his stomach. He then used "Wind Style: Wind Wings" and flew outside the camp.
After the battle yesterday, Nara Keiko had already notified him that he could rest for two days.
Thus, he didn't need to worry too much and could relax and focus on his training.
However, to be cautious, he didn't venture too far from the camp.
He found a quiet forest and then used "Shadow Clone Jutsu" to create a dozen clones, starting his training.
In the past period, he hadn't allocated chakra to his "Detailed Illness Extraction Technique," so now that it was perfected, he didn't have any additional chakra to distribute.
Therefore, it couldn't increase the speed of his other skills' progress.
However, his "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique," which he had perfected a few days ago, gave him an extra 19,000 chakra to allocate freely each day.
All of this chakra was now being poured into his "Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken" training.
As a result, the chakra he invested daily had increased from 60,000 to 79,000.
This meant his proficiency gain had risen from 400 points to 525 points each day.
At this rate, he calculated that in a maximum of 70 days, he could reach lv9 in "Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken."
And that was just the beginning.
Once he also perfected his "Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere," "Wind Style: Vacuum Blade," "Wind Style: Wind Devourer," and "Water Style: Water Release Wave," he would save a significant amount of chakra.
This saved chakra would be poured back into "Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken," further accelerating its progress.
The question now was whether, once it reached lv9, he would be able to release it freely.
From previous experience, lv5, lv7, and lv9 all represented key thresholds. Passing these thresholds caused a clear and significant improvement in the skill's effect.
As an S-rank forbidden technique, lv9 wasn't the ultimate limit for "Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken," but once it reached lv9, Qingming could confidently say he had "perfectly" mastered it.
After all, theoretical limits were not easily reached by ordinary people.
The so-called "perfect mastery" that Naruto achieved later on was probably not as perfect as it sounded.
Therefore, once he raised the proficiency to that level, he should be able to treat it as a long-range attack and throw it out without worrying about the "self-damage" effect.
With this in mind, Qingming put the thoughts aside, began assigning tasks to the shadow clones, and proceeded with his training.
