Chapter 128: Change of mindset

Inside the Rock Bear Cave.

Qingming put down the unconscious Kirigakure ANBU, thought for a moment, raised his hand and used the 'Shadow Clone Technique', and separated two shadow clones.

Because they inherited the memory of the original body, the two shadow clones left the cave and ran outside without Qing Ming's instructions.

Next, they will patrol the nearby area to warn of possible dangers.

Although he was sure that there was a high probability that no one would be chasing him, but even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, he had to be careful.

After all, this is not Konoha's territory. If someone discovers him, he will be greeted by enemies several times or even dozens of times his own size.

Qing Ming didn't want to be chased around like a dog.

Therefore, when it is time to be cautious, you should still be more cautious.

After the preventive work was completed, Qingming turned his attention back to Kirigakure ANBU.

Looking at the opponent's body covered with sword marks, Qing Ming didn't think much and immediately used the 'healing technique' to heal the opponent's wounds.

This is his property and must be taken care of.

Half an hour later, Qing Ming took his hand away from the other party's last wound and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up."

Hearing this, Kirigakure ANBU slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bright and clear, without any sense of confusion as he had just woken up.

Obviously, the other party had woken up a long time ago and was just pretending to be asleep.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Kirigakure ANBU stared at Qing Ming and asked coldly.

Hearing this, Qing Ming replied casually: "It's nothing, I just want you to do a favor."

However, upon hearing his words, Kirigakure Anbu's expression froze. He didn't know what he thought of, and his upper body suddenly jumped up.

Then, he opened his mouth wide and bit Qing Ming's throat directly.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Qing Ming was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, and his Sharingan opened instantly, hypnotizing the other party in just a moment.

Bang~

The body that Kirigakure Anbu had just raised fell down again.

He was already exhausted from the previous battle, so Qing Ming just used a simple hypnosis technique to knock him down.

Looking at Kirigakure Anbu who fell into sleep again, Qingming knew that it would not be possible to let the other party follow his orders and actively refine chakra like the previous sand ninjas.

Without him, the other party would not be afraid of death at all.

In this way, let alone refining chakra, it would be good if he didn't cause trouble for him.

Fortunately, his 'Chakra Absorption Technique' has already been promoted to level 5, and can directly extract the target's mental energy and physical energy.

In this way, there is no need for the other party to cooperate.

Next, he only needs to keep the other party asleep, and then directly extract the mental energy and physical energy.

Although this kind of fishing method will cause fundamental damage to Kirigakure Anbu's body, and in the long run, it will not be conducive to continued harvesting.

But the problem is, he can't stay here for long!

Therefore, there is no need to think about things that are too long-term.

Now, what he needs to do is to squeeze the opponent's potential as much as possible and obtain the maximum benefit in the shortest time, that is, to harvest the most chakra.

As for sustainable development, don't worry about it.

After thinking about this clearly, Qing Ming suddenly stopped worrying.

So, now there is only one question left, and that is whether he should target the secret agents of various forces.

In the beginning, the biggest reason why he targeted these people was because of their concealment - these people had special identities, and even if they lost contact, they would not attract the attention of others in a short period of time.

But he forgot that these people were also very strong.

If every target in the future is as difficult to deal with as this Kirigakure ANBU, then not to mention hiding, even one's own life and safety will be threatened.

Not to mention that before these people were arrested, in order to keep secrets, they would basically try to commit suicide. As long as he didn't stop them, it would be all in vain.

In this way, the risks and benefits were obviously not equal, and Qing Ming couldn't help but think about whether there was something wrong with the arrest target he had set.

Perhaps, he should target those Kumo ninjas and Iwa ninjas who perform security and patrol tasks on the periphery of the battlefield.

Compared with the ANBU ninjas in each village, these people are obviously easier to deal with.

The only hidden danger is whether arresting these people will attract the attention of the higher-ups of Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja on the battlefield, and then send people to search.

As the saying goes, when people pass by they leave traces, and when geese pass by they leave their voices.

No matter how careful he is, as long as he does it, it will definitely leave traces. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too many times, people will inevitably find out the clues.

By then, it will be difficult to handle.

"No, I still have to try."

After thinking for a long time, Qing Ming made a decision and finally planned to change his goal.

There was no way, compared to being noticed by the top leaders of Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja, the risk of catching spies from other forces was undoubtedly higher.

What's more, as long as he is careful, it shouldn't cause much noise for a while.

And by the time they discover the problem, the final battle may be coming, and by then they won't be able to care about him anymore.

With this thought, Qing Ming no longer hesitated, and immediately wanted to use the 'shadow clone technique' to create a shadow clone to help him find a suitable target.

But just as he was about to form the seal, he suddenly realized that the three shadow clones that the level 1 ‘Shadow Clone Technique’ could maintain were all outside.

Now, he can't create more shadow clones at all.

As a last resort, Qingming could only call back a shadow clone that was on guard nearby and let it perform the search mission.

After it left, Qingming opened the panel and took a look.

In the past twenty days, his "Shadow Clone Technique" has been upgraded from lv1 (40/200) to lv1 (91/200), and there are only more than 100 points of proficiency left before upgrading to lv2.

After thinking about it, Qingming asked the shadow clone observing the battlefield to cancel the ninjutsu, freeing up a position for him to improve the proficiency of the "Shadow Clone Technique".

That's right, Qingming decided to improve the "Shadow Clone Technique" to lv2 to increase the number of shadow clones.

However, there is also a strategy for improvement.

Not long ago, he had just extracted the chakra of the Kirigakure Anbu, and now the chakra in his body is overflowing.

If he practices the "Shadow Clone Technique" at this time, the loss of chakra will be great.

Therefore, Qingming first practiced the "Reflection Heart Technique", and when the chakra dropped to more than 3,000 points, he began to practice the "Shadow Clone Technique".

In this way, each time he practiced, the chakra consumed was about 200 points, which was still within Qingming's acceptable range.

Soon, Qingming completed five "Shadow Clone Technique" exercises.

At this time, his chakra had dropped to 2,000 points. If it continued to drop, the "Shadow Clone Technique" would not be able to be performed.

So, Qingming came to the side of the Kirigakure Anbu and performed the "Chakra Absorption Technique", forcibly extracting the opponent's mental energy and physical energy.

Then, it was converted into chakra and replenished into his body.

Qingming did not extract more. When the chakra recovered to more than 3,000 points, he would stop and practice the "Shadow Clone Technique" again, repeating the cycle.

In this way, it took a whole day, Qingming also spent a lot of his own chakra, and finally he reached the level 2 (1/500) of the "Shadow Clone Technique"!

In fact, if it was just to improve the proficiency of the "Shadow Clone Technique", it would not take so long, but it also takes time for him to refine chakra.

So, it took so long.

However, it was all worth it.

After the "Shadow Clone Technique" was upgraded to level 2, not only did the number of shadow clones increase to five, but the stability was also improved a lot.

In addition, the loss of chakra also changed from 10% of all shadow clones before to 90%. It doesn't seem much for each one, but it is a lot when added up.

Especially when the number of his shadow clones continued to rise, this saving effect became more obvious.
