Two hours later, in the afternoon, Qingming had once again recalled his shadow clones for the third time, absorbing their training experiences and memories. He finally decided to take a break from his cultivation.
Opening his eyes, Qingming accessed the proficiency panel. After three hours of training, he saw that both his 'Four Symbols Seal' and 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal' had reached the entry level, with proficiency at level 1.
In addition, the S-rank forbidden technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, had also been successfully imprinted on the panel after continued attempts.
Moreover, through this period of practice, Qingming had tested the chakra consumption required for training these three techniques.
Among them, the 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal' consumed the least chakra, requiring only 100 chakra on average to gain 1 proficiency point.
The 'Four Symbols Seal' required a bit more chakra, with approximately 120 chakra needed to raise proficiency by 1 point.
The most chakra-consuming technique was the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'. Even when sticking to the minimum chakra requirement for gaining proficiency, it still required 150 chakra to raise proficiency by 1 point.
Not only that, because its level was still very low, and it had yet to reach the entry level, practicing it also required considerable time.
This made it impossible for him to practice this technique too many times each day.
Where did all the time go? Without even mentioning sensing spatial coordinates, the process of marking chakra itself took a lot of time.
What was easy for the likes of Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju was painstaking work for Qingming; any careless mistake could result in failure.
In other words, at present, he was unable to use this technique in battle.
To use it effectively in combat, Qingming estimated he would need to raise its proficiency to at least level 7. Even then, it wouldn't be suitable for particularly intense battles.
As for achieving the kind of flexibility displayed by Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju, Qingming guessed he would need to reach level 8 or 9, close to the max level.
Undoubtedly, this was a distant goal, and Qingming didn't need to think about it too much for now, unless... he could capture a tailed beast in the short term.
Only then could he greatly shorten the time required.
However, while capturing a tailed beast was now on his agenda, acquiring the "nuclear weapon" of a village, even a small one, was not so simple.
Shaking his head, Qingming temporarily cast aside those thoughts and began considering how to distribute the newly available chakra from his recent 'constitution' attribute boost.
He glanced at the three techniques. Undoubtedly, the 'Four Symbols Seal', which had an exceptional effect on tailed beasts, was the most important.
Therefore, he decided to invest the majority of his chakra in it, directly taking half of the newly gained chakra—80,000 points—and dedicating it to this technique.
This way, the daily proficiency gained from the 'Four Symbols Seal' would reach 660 points, and in about a month, it would advance to level 7.
By then, regardless of whether it had reached max level, it would be usable.
As for the remaining chakra, he planned to divide it into two parts—one large and one small.
He would allocate 36,000 points for the practice of the 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal', and the remaining 50,000 points would go to the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.
With this distribution, the 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal' would gain 360 proficiency points daily, while the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' would gain 330.
At this rate, within a month, both would surpass level 6.
At that point, while they might not be of great use, they could still be employed in urgent situations.
As for why it would take a month, the reason was simple—his preliminary plan to capture a tailed beast was set for a month from now.
By then, his Sharingan's evolution would have crossed the (40,000/50,000) threshold, and the fourth stage of 'Susanoo' would be unlocked.
The fourth stage of 'Susanoo' would manifest the lower half of its body and further increase its size, allowing it to face a tailed beast head-on without issue.
This would undoubtedly provide Qingming with his final trump card for the upcoming mission.
At that time, he would be ready to take action.
Of course, if possible, he would prefer to keep this a secret, but it never hurt to be prepared, did it?
Moreover, he would also need this month to investigate the specific situation of the Seven-Tails.
With these thoughts in mind, Qingming raised his hand to form seals and again cast the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.
However, this time, he created one more clone than before.
Looking at the twelve shadow clones before him, Qingming quickly assigned each of them their respective training tasks and sent them on their way.
As for the remaining clone, Qingming directly instructed, "You're in charge of the investigation."
Indeed, he acted on his thoughts immediately, assigning a shadow clone to take care of this task.
As for why he didn't investigate personally…
Not only did he need to continue his training and didn't have time, but even if he did, he wouldn't go himself.
While the commotion in the village had more or less calmed down, it was merely on the surface.
Qingming hadn't forgotten that during his comings and goings around the village in recent days, someone had been keeping an eye on him.
Clearly, there were those unhappy with his freedom, watching him from the shadows.
Qingming wasn't sure if they had already gotten close to this island, but he wasn't going to take any chances by giving them an opportunity to catch him.
As long as there was no incriminating evidence, they wouldn't be able to touch him.
Therefore, Qingming would not personally go to investigate.
Even with a shadow clone, he intended for it to proceed with caution and low profile.
Upon hearing his orders, the shadow clone didn't say much. It simply nodded, then used 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Clothing' to fly into the sky and leave the area.
Watching the clone leave, Qingming shook his head and closed his eyes, entering the cultivation state once more.
······
A while later, it was evening.
Qingming finished the final round of training with the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', dispelled the clones, and looked toward the horizon.
The clone he sent out for investigation had still not returned, not even sending any word.
Qingming could only tell from the characteristic of shadow clones returning memories after death that the clone was still alive.
As for the rest, he knew nothing.
But he wasn't too concerned. Investigations couldn't be rushed; he would just wait patiently.
With that thought, Qingming stopped thinking about it.
After tidying up his things, he raised his hand, formed seals, and cast 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Clothing', flying toward the direction of Konoha Village.
An hour later, he returned to the village.
As expected, he once again felt the prying eyes.
Qingming didn't make a point of showing disdain or provocation; first, it was meaningless, and second, he didn't have the time for it.
He quickly made his way to the busiest street in the village, casually found a restaurant, ate a meal to fill his stomach, and then returned to his residence.
Next, he resumed his training to wrap up the day's work.
Afterward, it would be time to rest and replenish his energy for tomorrow's training.
Qingming's life was as dull as it was fulfilling.
