Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Setting Out Again
While practicing the "Mind Reflection Technique," Qingming also started reconsidering the allocation of his chakra.
Now that he had finally mastered the "Shadow Clone Technique," the additional 2,000 points of chakra needed to be reassigned.
As for why he didn't continue practicing the "Shadow Clone Technique," there were two reasons. First, the technique at level 1 was already sufficient for his needs, so there was no point in wasting chakra to upgrade it further. Second, during missions, to ensure his safety, Qingming's chakra was always maintained at a high level. Practicing other skills was fine, as they didn't cause additional consumption, but the "Shadow Clone Technique" was different. Each clone would split his chakra evenly with the original body.
Even if he immediately dispelled the jutsu without doing anything, Qingming would still lose 10% of the clone's chakra.
What does this mean?
Suppose Qingming kept his chakra around 8,000 points and used the "Shadow Clone Technique" to create one clone. When he dispelled the technique, he would lose 10% of the clone's chakra, which amounts to 400 points. If he created two clones, this loss would increase to over 500 points. The more clones he created, the greater the chakra loss.
This was clearly something Qingming couldn't accept.
Therefore, this technique was only suitable for practice during his downtime, when there was no need to maintain his chakra at a high level. And since he would be busy with missions for a while, there would be no opportunity to train it.
Hence, the extra 2,000 chakra points needed to be reassigned.
After thinking for a while, Qingming decided to allocate 1,500 points to the "Mind Reflection Technique," which would give him an additional 9 points of proficiency.
Including the 3,500 points already allocated to the technique, which provided 21 proficiency points, that would give him 30 points total. For every 3 proficiency points, his Sharingan's evolution would increase by 1 point, meaning 30 points would raise it by 10.
Adding to that, he would gain 3 more points of Sharingan evolution by expending 600 chakra points to maintain the Sharingan for 15 hours.
This meant his Sharingan could evolve by 13 points each day.
As for the remaining 500 chakra points, Qingming planned to allocate them to the "Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique," which would give him an additional 6 proficiency points.
Adding the 850 points already allocated to this technique, which provided 10 proficiency points, this would give him 16 points total.
Furthermore, the chakra previously allocated to the "Body Flicker Technique" could be reassigned since that technique had already been perfected and no longer needed chakra for practice.
Qingming planned to allocate that chakra to the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to further speed up its progress.
Additionally, the chakra allocated to the "Konoha Style Sword Technique," the "Uchiha Style Sword Technique," and "Shuriken Throwing" could all be reassigned to the new "Swordsmanship" skill.
This way, there would be no concern about not having enough chakra to practice swordsmanship.
As for the chakra allocated to the "Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique," the "Genjutsu: Sharingan," and the "Healing Technique," Qingming didn't plan to change those.
So, to summarize:
Out of the 10,000 chakra points, Qingming allocated 5,000 to the "Mind Reflection Technique," which would grant 30 proficiency points per day.
He allocated 1,300 points to the "Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique," giving 16 proficiency points per day.
Another 1,700 points were divided between the "Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique" and "Genjutsu: Sharingan," providing 10 proficiency points each per day.
That accounted for 8,000 chakra points.
The remaining 2,000 chakra points were divided as follows: 600 for the "Healing Technique," which would increase its proficiency by 7 points per day, and another 600 to maintain the Sharingan, which would provide 3 points of evolution growth per day.
The last 800 chakra points were split between the "Chakra Absorption Technique" and "Swordsmanship," which together would gain 20 proficiency points per day.
Thus, all 10,000 chakra points were distributed.
But this was only part of the equation. Qingming still had the chakra battery supplying him with extra chakra.
All of this extra chakra would be devoted to practicing the "Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique" and the "Mind Reflection Technique."
Only by doing so could he complete the shape and nature transformation of fire-style chakra in the shortest time possible and develop a second chakra nature.
At the same time, this would allow his Sharingan to evolve as quickly as possible, advancing to the Three Tomoe state.
With these thoughts in mind, Qingming turned his gaze toward the depths of the tunnel, as though he could see Chiya training furiously within the cave.
After a while, Qingming withdrew his gaze and resumed his own training.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
His "break" was over, and it was time to embark on a mission once more.
This time, the mission was still a patrol, in the same area as before, and most of his teammates were the same as the last time.
This wasn't a coincidence but rather a deliberate arrangement from above.
The reason was simple: familiarity with the environment and teammates could enhance a ninja's combat effectiveness.
So generally speaking, a ninja wouldn't be assigned vastly different tasks within a fixed period.
For instance, if your last mission was a patrol, your next mission wouldn't suddenly be infiltration or espionage.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Just like a month ago, when Qingming first returned to the battlefield, his first mission was a patrol, but his second mission was an urgent support operation.
When this happens, there are usually two reasons.
Either manpower is scarce, and extra hands are needed to fill in, or your skills are required to solve a specific problem.
Qingming's emergency support mission fell into the first category.
At the time, the Rock ninjas had launched a fierce offensive, and the base couldn't spare any additional forces, so Qingming and some resting ninjas were urgently sent to the frontlines.
The intensity of that battle was something Qingming would never forget.
Luckily, there was only that one time!
Back to the current mission, Qingming glanced around at his team and noticed that the number of genin had significantly decreased.
It made sense—after such a prolonged war, no matter how many genin there were, they couldn't withstand such attrition.
Without enough genin to serve as cannon fodder, chunin had to fill the gaps.
This meant that the upcoming battles would only become more brutal, and the mortality rate for chunin, the backbone of the village, would soon peak.
Eventually, when one side could no longer hold on, the war would likely end.
"Everyone, move out!"
Just as Qingming was lost in thought, the leader gave the command to depart.
The group then proceeded along their designated route, heading toward the mission site.
