Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Three Tomoe
That night, deep inside an underground cave, within a room created by his Shadow Clone, Qingming sat cross-legged, silently practicing his Illusion Technique: Sharingan.
As for the aftermath of the day's events, he had left everything to his Shadow Clone to handle. Right now, he was solely focused on leveling up his Illusion Technique: Sharingan to level 5 and then immediately beginning his training on the Mind Reflection Technique.
His Sharingan had been stuck at double tomoe for several months now, and it was time for him to evolve it to three tomoe.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by.
Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes, raised both hands, and swiftly formed the hand signs to cast Illusion Technique: Sharingan.
However, despite his speed, it still required time.
"Ugh!"
With a light sigh, Qingming lowered his hands and muttered, "Level 5 is definitely not the end!"
Indeed, unlike the Magical Restraint Technique, his Illusion Technique: Sharingan could continue to improve even after reaching level 5. While this wasn't a bad thing, it still left him feeling somewhat disappointed.
He had hoped that upon reaching level 5, he would be able to skip the hand signs and achieve the effortless casting of Illusion Technique: Sharingan seen with Uchiha Itachi.
This was also explicitly noted in the scroll given to him by that Uchiha Jonin.
Now, it seemed he had not yet mastered it completely.
Fortunately, with the proficiency panel, he didn't have to worry about never reaching that level; it was just a matter of putting in more effort.
As for today? Well, he decided to skip it for now! Qingming was eager to practice the Mind Reflection Technique.
However, before starting that training, he needed to replenish his chakra. If he ran out in the middle, it would disrupt his rhythm.
With this thought in mind, Qingming left his room and made his way deeper into the cave.
At that moment, eleven Sand Nin were imprisoned here.
Of these individuals, only two of the recently captured ones still seemed relatively alert.
The other nine had been in terrible condition due to Qingming frequently extracting their mental and physical energy. They were all listless and looked extremely weak.
Qingming estimated that it wouldn't be long before these individuals became useless.
Nevertheless, he didn't care much, as he wouldn't be staying here for too long anyway.
Not to mention that once he awakened his three tomoe Sharingan, it was uncertain whether the headquarters would allow him to remain on the sidelines. For fairness, those who had spent enough time on the sidelines were likely to be rotated to the front lines.
After calculating the time, Qingming figured he had at most another half month before he had to move to the front lines, at which point things wouldn't be as comfortable as they were now.
Of course, this sense of comfort was only in his eyes; others wouldn't see it that way.
Take his own teammates for instance—aside from Ueno Yoichi, who lasted a bit longer, the other two switched out every ten to fifteen days.
And even this was due to Qingming taking care of the troublesome enemies every time they encountered one.
In other small teams, one misstep could lead to total annihilation.
If it weren't for this, why would those Sand Nin keep trying to infiltrate to eliminate Konoha's forces?
It was simply that Qingming's strength made it seem like the Sand Nin in this area were ineffectual.
Overall, it was still Konoha that bore the larger losses.
Shaking his head, Qingming pushed these thoughts aside.
He flashed in front of Chiya, who looked dazed, and activated Chakra Absorption Technique.
At first, absorbing chakra was uneventful.
But when Qingming began extracting Chiya's mental and physical energy to replenish his own, Chiya displayed a look of pain.
However, Qingming turned a blind eye to his suffering.
It wasn't that Qingming lacked empathy; it was simply that this war was likely to last another year, and the battlefield environment would only become harsher as time went on.
If Qingming wanted to survive on the battlefield, he had to steel his heart and do everything possible to strengthen himself; mercy would only lead to his own demise.
Qingming was far from foolish.
After several moments, he retracted his hand and expressionlessly moved to the next person, again employing the Chakra Absorption Technique.
In this manner, after absorbing chakra from four individuals, Qingming finally replenished his chakra to its peak state.
Next, it was time to grind!
With that thought, Qingming quickly returned to his room and began practicing the Mind Reflection Technique.
As time ticked by, Qingming repeatedly cast the Mind Reflection Technique, feeling the unique chakra nourishing his Sharingan.
Finally, after two and a half hours, when Qingming performed the Mind Reflection Technique for the eighty-fifth time, the unique chakra surged into his eyes once again, triggering a qualitative change from a quantitative accumulation.
A pitch-black tomoe quietly appeared in his crimson pupils, forming a perfect 120-degree angle with the other two tomoe.
At this moment, Qingming felt as if the clarity of the visuals before him had upgraded from 4K ultra-high definition to 8K ultra-high definition; everything in his field of vision was sharper than before.
Furthermore, when he concentrated, everything around him seemed to slow down.
This meant that during battles, he had more time to think and react.
Just this one enhancement alone increased his strength by at least two to three times.
And this didn't even account for the basic attribute boosts that came with the evolution of his Sharingan.
Indeed, with the evolution from double tomoe to three tomoe, his Spirit and Constitution attributes both increased by two and one points respectively.
On the surface, this increase appeared to be similar to the previous two evolutions.
However, as previously mentioned, the significance of each attribute point grew larger with each level.
Therefore, this time, the enhancement of his basic attributes was far beyond what it had been in the earlier instances.
Qingming estimated that his chakra limit could be increased by at least 10,000 points, doubling the previous increase of 5,000 points.
Once he fully tapped into this potential, his chakra volume would rise to around 30,000 points, equivalent to the level of three tons.
At that point, he could proudly consider himself a Chakra King.
However, he was still some distance from his ultimate goal of becoming a Chakra Titan.
Even so, he would surpass 99% of all ninjas.
This demonstrated why Uchiha ninjas who awakened their three tomoe Sharingan often earned the title of Jonin.
It wasn't merely due to their prestigious family names; their strength could genuinely reach such heights.
Others might not see such significant increases as he did, but any ninja who awakened the three tomoe Sharingan would easily have a chakra volume exceeding 10,000 points.
Such a chakra volume, combined with the abilities of the Sharingan, would render even the most ordinary Jonin incapable of standing against them.
Thus, receiving the title of Jonin was indeed well-deserved.
In the same vein, it wouldn't be long before he too became a Jonin.
However, all of this was just a title; what Qingming truly valued was the enhancement of his strength.
In addition to the increase in his chakra limit, this time's boost to his basic attributes would also enhance his chakra recovery speed.
Qingming estimated that after this evolution, his daily chakra recovery would increase by around 5,000 points.
In other words, he would now be able to utilize around 17,000 points of chakra each day.
With such a capacity, even if he had to abandon this stronghold, he wouldn't feel too regretful.
