Having made up his mind, Qing Ming quickly shifted his focus to the 'Palm Immortal Technique.' Based on its current effect of strengthening the body, Qing Ming estimated that it would take at least two months to raise his 'Constitution' stat from 13 to 14.
Without a doubt, that was a long time.
Qing Ming didn't want to wait that long.
There were two solutions: one was to increase the amount of chakra used, and the other was to raise the level of the 'Palm Immortal Technique.'
For the first option, the 'Palm Immortal Technique' takes time to enhance the body. Given a frequency of using it once every three minutes, even if he only slept four hours a day, he could at most perform it 400 times in one day.
At this rate, based on past experience, it would still take a month for his body to undergo a transformation.
And that's without even considering whether he had enough chakra.
When taking other random factors into account, there was no way it could be done in less than a month and a half.
So, what he really needed to do was raise the level of his 'Palm Immortal Technique.'
The time estimates he had made were all based on his current level of lv6 'Palm Immortal Technique.' But if he could raise it to lv7, the results would be very different.
Judging by the changes that happened when the 'Palm Immortal Technique' advanced from lv5 to lv6, Qing Ming was confident that once it reached lv7, its effect would improve dramatically.
Accordingly, the time it would take to accumulate enough foundation for his body's transformation would also be significantly reduced.
After using the technique frequently over the past few days, its proficiency had already reached lv6 (6725/10000), not far from lv7.
Qing Ming did a quick calculation: it would take about 490,000 chakra points to advance it to lv7.
Currently, he could recover 42,000 chakra points per day.
That meant he would need about eleven days to level up his 'Palm Immortal Technique.'
However, if he could acquire an extra 17,000 chakra points per day, that time would shrink to nine days.
And if he managed to acquire even more extra chakra, the time would shorten even further.
Spending less than ten days to accelerate future progress was undeniably a good deal.
The key was that during this process, he could still use the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to strengthen his body, as long as it didn't delay the progress.
In this way, he could benefit from both solutions, making it a win-win situation.
The only thing left to consider was whether Iwagakure would give him enough time.
Based on what Daimura Yuito had said earlier, Iwagakure would be ready to attack in about a week.
That meant the enemy could launch a full-scale assault at any moment from today onwards.
Once the battle started, the surroundings would be chaotic, and it would be impossible for him to peacefully focus on enhancing his body.
That was one reason why Qing Ming decided to prioritize leveling up his 'Palm Immortal Technique.'
After all, simply grinding proficiency didn't require a specific environment—he could still do it even in the middle of a battlefield.
In fact, he could use the opportunity to treat the wounded and speed up his proficiency gain.
Additionally, once the war began, many small details would go unnoticed.
At that point, as long as he was careful, he could even extract more chakra from Iwagakure ninjas.
With all these factors combined, Qing Ming felt there was a good chance he could advance his 'Palm Immortal Technique' ahead of schedule.
While Qing Ming was contemplating his next steps, several of his subordinates returned.
Seeing them, Qing Ming closed the interface and stood up. "So, what did you find?"
The group shook their heads. "We've searched the area. No stragglers."
"What about Iwa-nin?"
"None either," one of them replied.
Qing Ming thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, then let's continue the patrol."
"Yes, Captain!" they responded, then gathered their fallen comrade's body and resumed their patrol with Qing Ming.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That night, while Qing Ming was resting at an outpost on the western mountains, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon the area, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Qing Ming's eyes snapped open. He grabbed his short sword and dashed out of the tent, leaping to the top of a nearby tree in a few swift movements.
Activating his Sharingan, Qing Ming scanned the area.
Bathed in the pale moonlight, he saw a figure shrouded in a dark red chakra cloak, emanating an aura of pure violence.
With just one glance, Qing Ming recognized the figure—this was the state of a Jinchūriki in partial Tailed Beast transformation.
There were only two Jinchūriki in the area: one was Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, and the other was Han, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki.
Han's chakra felt different from this, so the answer was clear—this was Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Iwagakure must be launching their full-scale attack," Qing Ming speculated.
The next moment, Rōshi's actions confirmed his suspicions.
Rōshi opened his mouth wide, forming multiple blue and black chakra spheres in midair. These quickly merged, forming a dense, pitch-black chakra orb.
This was none other than the infamous Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Tailed Beast Bomb shot forward, heading straight toward Qing Ming's position.
Well, technically not directly toward him.
The real target was the Fūryū Town outpost between Qing Ming and the Iwa-nin camp.
Just as the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to hit the town, a figure appeared in the sky, blocking its path.
The man had bright yellow hair, a gentle face, and confident blue eyes. Who else could it be but Minato Namikaze?
Qing Ming wasn't surprised by Minato's appearance.
Why? Because two days earlier, he had already known Minato would be here. In fact, all the Jonin knew.
As for his purpose?
There was no need to ask—he was obviously here to deal with the Jinchūriki.
Knowing that Iwagakure had mobilized two Jinchūriki to attack Fūryū Town, there was no way Konoha wouldn't prepare something in response.
And sure enough, here came Minato Namikaze.
Of course, Minato wasn't just here to contribute to the village's defense; he was also likely here to protect Uzumaki Kushina.
After all, when the enemy sends in Jinchūriki, Konoha should logically do the same.
But Uzumaki Kushina hadn't come, so Minato Namikaze had to step in.
These thoughts flashed through Qing Ming's mind as he turned his attention back to the battlefield.
The moment Minato appeared, his hands formed a series of hand seals at lightning speed, pressing his palms into the air. A massive sealing array appeared, with a dark spatial rift at its center.
This was none other than a specialized teleportation array derived from the Flying Thunder God Technique—'Flying Thunder God: Thunder Guide.'
As soon as the Tailed Beast Bomb touched it, it was bound by an invisible force and teleported through the spatial rift to a distant plain.
BOOM
A deafening explosion rang out, followed by a blinding flash of white light.
Everyone who witnessed it—whether Konoha or Iwagakure ninja—couldn't help but gape.
The sheer power of the Tailed Beast Bomb was impressive enough, but what truly astonished everyone was Minato Namikaze's ability to teleport it away effortlessly.
It was at that moment that the battlefield realized the 'Yellow Flash' had arrived.
The Konoha side erupted in cheers, while the Iwa-nin trembled in fear.
After all, as the saying goes, a person's reputation precedes them.
Even those who had never witnessed Minato's abilities firsthand would feel a sense of awe upon hearing of his legendary feats.
