Meanwhile, on the other side.
East Coast Command Center.
Qingming had been granted three days off to freely explore and familiarize himself with the area.
Not just him, but all the ninjas who had come to assist also received three days of leave, and those who were more seriously injured had even longer recuperation periods.
In the morning.
After finishing his morning routine and having a hearty meal, Qingming left the coast and found a secluded spot to begin his training.
Unlike the battlefield in the Land of Rain, this area, adjacent to the sea, made it easy to find training locations—any deserted island or reef would suffice.
Moreover, training in these places allowed him to fully unleash his abilities without worrying too much about drawing attention.
After all, the vastness of the ocean made it nearly impossible for anyone to find him without knowing his exact location.
Thus, Qingming immediately summoned six shadow clones.
Two of them continued to work hard on improving the proficiency of "Wind Release: Wind Blade" and "Spiral Sphere," striving to enhance them to perfection as soon as possible.
Another shadow clone practiced "Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken."
In the previous battle, the technique's level had been too low for practical use, forcing him to rely excessively on his Mangekyō Sharingan.
To protect his eyes, Qingming was determined to elevate its level quickly.
Additionally, two shadow clones were specifically assigned to train in "Water Release: Water Barrier" and "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."
The former had just begun to be mastered, while the latter was still at the initial stage and required urgent improvement.
It was foreseeable that the upcoming battles with the Mist Ninjas would likely take place in maritime areas, so he needed to master these two water techniques quickly to avoid disadvantage.
As for the last shadow clone, Qingming intended to have it focus on training in "Swordsmanship."
After last night's battle, his swordsmanship had reached the brink of promotion, and there was no need to procrastinate any longer.
Qingming planned to rely on his proficiency panel to drive it to completion.
Once he allocated the tasks, he sent the clones off to train.
He then found a spot to focus on practicing "Healing Technique" and "Mind Reflection Technique."
Both techniques directly affected his body and could not be practiced through shadow clones; only he, as the original, could perform and hone them.
······
Before he knew it, it was already mid-afternoon.
While Qingming was once again performing the "Healing Technique," an intuitive realization suddenly surfaced in his mind.
As he processed these insights, he felt his understanding of "Healing Technique" reach a new level.
"Has it leveled up?"
Qingming murmured as he opened his panel to check.
Sure enough, his "Healing Technique" had been upgraded to lv8 (1/50,000)!
"I wonder how effective the healing will be?"
Thinking this, Qingming extended his right hand, gathering a bit of chakra at his fingertip. He then pierced his left arm with his index finger, creating a cut.
Crimson blood began to flow from the wound, but Qingming paid it no mind. He quickly completed the hand seals and cast "Healing Technique."
A sphere of Yang Release chakra formed, which he injected into the wound.
Immediately, he could see the wound start to heal at a visibly rapid pace.
After observing for a moment, he could clearly feel that the healing effect of his "Healing Technique" had indeed improved.
Moreover, this rapid healing method did not consume as much chakra as before.
This was undoubtedly good news for him.
As for the body enhancement effect, Qingming concentrated and once again performed "Healing Technique," channeling a surge of Yang Release chakra to flow within his body.
Three minutes later, the enhancement effect faded, and Qingming opened his eyes.
As expected, the enhancement effect on his body had also strengthened.
At this rate, within three to four days, his body would undergo another transformation, further boosting his "Physique" attribute.
Qingming felt elated, taking a while to calm down before continuing his training.
However, today was destined to be a good day for him.
Just a few hours after his "Healing Technique" leveled up, his "Swordsmanship" finally advanced as well.
At the center of the deserted island.
After absorbing the experiences and memories of his shadow clones, Qingming felt that his understanding of "Swordsmanship" had also risen to a new level.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.
In the next moment, the familiar light blue screen appeared.

He could see that over the past week, due to the majority of his time being spent on the road, only a few skills—namely "Healing Technique," "Mind Reflection Technique," and "Chakra Refinement," along with the resulting changes in his chakra limit and the progress of his Mangekyō Sharingan—had increased normally.
As for the other skills, aside from "Chakra Surgical Knife" and "Swordsmanship," which had improved relatively more due to treating the wounded and engaging in battle, the rest had seen little growth until today's training results.
Fortunately, Qingming had been mentally prepared for this.
Once this crisis was over, things would be different.
Next, he would have at least two days of stable training ahead.
As for what would come after that…
It would depend on whether the Mist Village launched a fierce attack.
After pondering for a moment, Qingming closed the panel, glanced at the sky, and then, without lingering, headed straight back to the command station.
······
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qingming's vacation ended, and he received the latest orders.
According to the situation on the front lines, he was directly assigned to the forward base.
As previously mentioned, in response to the invasion from the Mist Village, Konoha had established three defensive lines and a forward base.
The three defensive lines were the northern, central, and southern lines, all laid out along the coast.
In contrast, the forward base was located not within the Fire Country but in the Land of Waves, directly across the sea from the command center.
His next mission was to head there for deployment.
