"Whooo~~~"
Taking a deep breath, Qingming closed his Sharingan.
Then, without hesitation, he immediately went to Inoue Ryu's side.
At this moment, Ryu's abdomen was still bleeding profusely, and his life force was quickly fading.
Qingming feared that he might die and waste such valuable material, so he hastily performed the 'Chakra Absorption Technique,' placing his palm on Ryu's body.
In the next instant, a large amount of chakra surged out of Ryu's body and flowed through Qingming's palm into his own body, converting it into his own chakra.
A few moments later, Ryu's life force disappeared, and Qingming stopped his technique.
Glancing at his status panel, Qingming saw that his chakra had increased by a little over 10,000 points. This was slightly lower than the average level of a Special Jonin.
Qingming could understand why—after all, Ryu had been severely wounded, and both his spiritual and physical energies had been greatly depleted.
Given this situation, getting over 10,000 chakra was already a testament to Qingming's skill in draining chakra.
If his 'Chakra Absorption Technique' hadn't already reached level 6, he might not have been able to absorb this much chakra.
Shifting his gaze from Ryu, Qingming walked over to the other two fog ninja Chūnin and raised his hand to form seals, performing the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' again.
One of them had been knocked out by his physical strikes, while the other was controlled by his genjutsu. Neither had suffered significant injuries, and due to the brief nature of the battle, they had hardly consumed any chakra.
As a result, the two of them contributed over 18,000 chakra points—much more than the average Chūnin in battle.
This made Qingming feel slightly more at ease.
Altogether, these three people and one dog had contributed almost 30,000 chakra points to him.
With this much chakra, he had surpassed 90% of Jonin in terms of chakra reserves.
So, with his own chakra added to the mix, Qingming was not lacking in chakra for the time being.
However, despite this, Qingming didn't plan to stay here any longer.
Although the battle had gone relatively smoothly and had been brief, it had still been a severe test for both his mind and will.
He was in urgent need of rest to recover his body and mind.
So, he couldn't afford to linger here.
With this thought, Qingming swiftly gathered the bodies of the three fog ninja and the dog, then raised his hand to form seals, performing the 'Fire Style: Cremation Technique.'
Boom~
With a burst of flame, the bodies of the three fog ninja and the dog quickly caught fire.
During this time, Qingming once again activated his Byakugan to ensure there was no one within a one-kilometer radius, and then performed the 'Guardian Seal,' completely sealing the area.
By the time he finished all of this, the bodies had nearly been reduced to ashes. Qingming wasted no time and immediately headed back toward the Black Stone Base.
What he didn't know was that shortly after his departure, a group of Mist Ninjas arrived at the scene.
Leading them was none other than the Ice Release ninja—Xue Wuhua—whom he and Uchiha Shisui had teamed up to attack before.
Alongside him were several Mist Jonin and one Mist Chūnin.
The Chūnin among them was none other than Ito Hideaki, who had been sent by Inoue Ryu to deliver messages.
It was clear that these were the people Ryu had called to deal with Qingming.
Unfortunately for them, Qingming had already moved too quickly and avoided danger.
Looking at the scorched bodies on the ground, the group could only feel furious and helpless.
...
At the Black Stone Base.
Qingming left silently and returned just as quietly.
First, he went to the command center to confirm that there were no major events, and then he went directly back to his quarters.
Afterward, he didn't engage in training or anything else but instead went straight to sleep.
Whenever, no matter the circumstances, sleep was the best way to relieve fatigue.
And when he slept, he didn't just nap for a short while—he slept for a full twelve to thirteen hours until the morning light.
When the first ray of sunlight filtered through the window, landing on his face, Qingming felt a sense of comfort.
Not only did his fatigue from yesterday vanish, but the exhaustion that had accumulated over the past few months due to his long periods of compressed sleep also disappeared.
Qingming stretched lazily, his bones cracking and popping.
"Ah~, that feels great!"
He sighed with satisfaction, performing a roll and leaping out of bed, landing on the floor.
He quickly made his way to the washroom, washed his face, and when he looked into the mirror, he noticed a faint symbol resembling "§" on his forehead.
Qingming touched the mark, and even through the seal, he could still sense the presence of the Byakugan inside.
This served as confirmation that everything from yesterday was not a dream, but rather that he had truly undergone the transformation.
"Hmm, another flaw has been removed. Very good!"
Qingming muttered to himself, continuing to wash up as he pondered what to do next.
Yesterday, he had already decided that before his Mangekyō Sharingan advanced to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he would no longer focus on the incomplete Byakugan lineage.
In other words, this task could be put on hold for now.
So, the next step would be to continue improving the proficiency of his various skills.
For now, ignoring other techniques, he needed to quickly upgrade his Earth Style jutsu. Only by raising their level would he be able to master Earth-based chakra more effectively.
Once he had grasped Earth-based chakra to a sufficient level, he could then start developing Lightning-based chakra.
At that point, with all five basic chakra natures at his disposal, he would no longer have any weaknesses in conventional ninjutsu.
Moreover, if he could also master Yin and Yang chakra, he might even gain access to the power of 'Bloodline Net.'
This was a force that surpassed both the 'Bloodline Limits' and 'Bloodline Erasure' abilities.
From his memories, all techniques categorized as 'Bloodline Net' were immensely powerful.
For example, the 'Hells Gate' technique, which could open a black portal without seals, allowing one to travel between different spaces.
Or the 'Corpse Kill Bone Ash,' which, when used with bone-based weapons, could cause the enemy's body to collapse within seconds, even bypassing Yin-Yang Release healing techniques.
These were all terrifying abilities, and they were all part of the 'Bloodline Net.'
Qingming wasn't sure if he could develop such abilities, but the mere possibility was enough to motivate him to strive for it.
Besides, this wouldn't require extra effort; as long as he followed a steady training regimen, he would be able to grasp the basics.
In that case, there was no reason for him to abandon it.
