Chapter 128: Change of Thinking
Inside the Rock Bear Cave.
Qing Ming put down the unconscious Kirigakure Anbu, thought for a moment, raised his hand and performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique', creating two shadow clones.
Because they inherited the original body's memory, without Qingming's instructions, the two shadow clones left the cave and ran outside.
Next, they will patrol a nearby area to be on guard against possible dangers.
Although he was sure that there was a high probability that no one would chase him, he still had to be careful even if there was a one in ten thousand chance.
After all, this is not Konoha's territory. If he is discovered, he will be greeted by enemies that are several or even dozens of times his number.
Qingming didn't want to be chased like a dog and run around everywhere.
Therefore, we should be cautious when we need to be cautious.
After completing the preventive work, Qingming turned his attention back to the Kirigakure Anbu.
Looking at the opponent's body covered with sword marks, Qing Ming didn't think much and immediately performed the "Healing Spell" to heal the opponent.
This is his property and must be taken care of.
Half an hour later, Qing Ming took his hand away from the other person's last wound, and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up."
Hearing this, the Kirigakure Anbu slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and clear, without any trace of the confusion of just waking 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?"
The Kirigakure Anbu stared at Qingming and asked in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Qing Ming replied casually: "Nothing, I just want you to do me a favor."
However, upon hearing his words, the Kirigakure Anbu's expression froze, and it was unknown what he was thinking of, as his upper body suddenly bounced up.
Then, he opened his mouth wide and bit Qingming's throat directly.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Qing Ming was stunned at first, then he snorted coldly, and his Sharingan opened instantly, hypnotizing the other party in just a moment.
Bang!
The Kirigakure Anbu who had just raised his body fell down again.
He was already exhausted from the previous battle, so Qing Ming knocked him down with just a simple hypnosis.
Seeing the Kirigakure Anbu falling into a coma again, Qingming knew that it was impossible to expect them to obey his orders and actively refine chakra like the Sand Ninjas before.
There is no other reason, the other party is not afraid of death at all.
In this way, let alone refining chakra, it would be good enough if we could not cause him any trouble.
Fortunately, his 'Chakra Absorption Technique' had already been upgraded to level 5, and could directly extract the target's mental and physical energy.
In this way, there is no need for the other party to cooperate.
Next, he just needs to keep the other person asleep and then directly extract his mental and physical energy.
Although this practice of exhausting all resources will cause fundamental damage to the body of the Kirigakure Anbu, it will not be conducive to continued harvesting in the long run.
But the problem is, he can't stay here for too long!
So, there is no need to think about things too far in the future.
Now, what he needs to do is to squeeze the opponent's potential as much as possible and obtain the greatest benefit in the shortest time, that is, to harvest the most chakra.
As for sustainable development, don't worry about it.
After thinking this through, Qingming stopped worrying about it.
So, now there is only one question left, that is, whether he should continue to target the hidden players 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 equally strong.
If every target in the future is as difficult to deal with as this Kirigakure Anbu, then not only will they lose their hiding place, but even their own lives will be threatened.
Not to mention that before being arrested, these people would basically try to commit suicide in order to keep the secret, and if he didn't stop them, all his efforts would be in vain.
In this way, the risks and benefits are obviously not equal, and Qingming couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the capture target he set.
Perhaps, he should target the Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja who were performing guard and patrol missions outside 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 high-ranking Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja on the battlefield, and they will send people to search for them.
As the saying goes, people leave traces behind and wild geese leave their voices behind.
No matter how careful he is, as long as he does it, there will be traces left. Once or twice is okay, but if it happens too many times, it is inevitable that people will find out.
By then, it will be difficult to deal with.
"No, I still have to try."
After thinking for a long time, Qingming made a decision and finally decided to change his target.
There is no way. Compared to being noticed by the top Cloud and Iwa Ninja leaders, the risk of capturing spies from other forces is undoubtedly higher.
What's more, as long as he was careful, it shouldn't cause too much trouble for a while.
By the time they discover the problem, the final battle may be about to begin, and they will not be able to take care of him by then.
With this thought, Qing Ming no longer hesitated, and immediately wanted to use the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create a shadow clone to help himself find a suitable target.
But just as he was about to make a seal, he suddenly realized that the three shadow clones that could be maintained by the level 1 "Shadow Clone Technique" were all outside.
Now, he simply couldn't create more shadow clones.
As a last resort, Qing Ming could only call back a shadow clone that was on guard nearby and ask it to carry out the search mission.
After he left, Qing Ming opened the panel and took a look.
It turned out that in the past twenty days, his 'Shadow Clone Technique' had been upgraded from lv1 (40/200) to lv1 (91/200), and only a hundred points of proficiency were left before upgrading to lv2.
After thinking about it, Qing Ming asked the shadow clone who was observing the battlefield to cancel his ninjutsu, freeing up a spot so that he could improve his proficiency in the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.
That's right, Qingming decided to upgrade the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to level 2 in order to increase the number of shadow clones.
However, the liver also requires strategy.
Not long ago, he had just extracted the chakra of the Kirigakure Anbu, and now the chakra in his body was overflowing.
If you practice the 'Shadow Clone Technique' at this time, the chakra loss will be huge.
Therefore, Qingming first started to practice the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique', and when his 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 loss was around two hundred points, which was still within Qingming's acceptable range.
Soon, Qing Ming completed the practice of the 'Shadow Clone Technique' five times.
At this time, his chakra had dropped to two thousand points. If it continued to drop, he would not be able to perform the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.
So, Qing Ming came to the Kirigakure Anbu and performed the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to forcibly extract the other party's mental and physical energy.
Then, convert it into chakra and replenish it into his body.
Qing Ming did not draw more. When the chakra recovered to more than 3,000 points, he would stop and practice the "Shadow Clone Technique" again, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Just like that, it took a whole day of effort, and Qingming also invested a lot of his own chakra, and only then did he reach level 2 (1/500) of the 'Shadow Clone Technique'!
In fact, if he just wanted to improve his proficiency in the Shadow Clone Technique, it wouldn't take that long, but it would also take time for him to refine chakra.
That's why it was delayed for so long.
But it's 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 greatly improved.
In addition, the chakra loss has increased from 10% of all shadow clones to 9%. It may not seem like much for each one, but when added up, it is a lot.
Especially when the number of his shadow clones continued to increase, the saving effect became more obvious.
