"I'm not stupid. How could I tell outsiders about such an important thing? You guys are the first ones to know about it!"
"I don't plan to let more people know about it for a long time in the future!"
"Unless I have the ability to protect myself completely."
He knew the truth about the saying "A man with no fault, but with a precious gem in hand, becomes a target."
This technique was definitely a powerful weapon.
After all, the foundation of a ninja's strength is Chakra.
The amount of Chakra determines a ninja's potential and achievements.
Chakra is a product of mental energy combined with the energy in the cells at a certain ratio.
The Spirit Meditation Method can enhance mental strength, which essentially increases Chakra, right?
Sure, boosting Chakra also requires cellular energy.
But cellular energy can be replenished and enhanced through body training, food, or medicinal baths.
That's way easier than improving and recovering mental power.
"Phew! That's good!"
Uchiha Ken and Mika both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this really as outrageous as you guys are making it seem? Is it really so important to make you this nervous?"
Uchiha Hiro couldn't help but ask.
What answered him was a pair of glaring eyes from Ken and Mika.
Uchiha Ken immediately scolded, "Of course! You better remember, you absolutely cannot let this information leak to anyone, not even a hint! Otherwise, I'll hammer you to death! Hmph!"
Mika, on the other hand, smiled and nodded as she looked at Uchiha Hiro, saying, "Your father's right, that's exactly what I wanted to say."
Uchiha Hiro: "..."
It's clear now, love just disappears, right?
It used to be just his father, now even his mother was like this. Can he even stay in this house?
"Okay! I get it! Don't worry, I have the tightest lips!"
Under the pressure from his parents, Uchiha Hiro reluctantly lowered his head and agreed, even making a gesture of zipping his lips.
Then, Uchiha Ken and Mika both turned their gaze to Mikoto.
Uchiha Mikoto: "?!!!!!!"
She immediately raised one hand and swore, "I swear, I won't leak this secret to anyone! If I do, may I die a horrible death!"
Then, she looked at Kira with a hint of love in her eyes and said, "You know, I've already decided to be with Kira for the rest of my life!"
In just a few months, many things had been decided.
"Haha! That's great! From now on, we're one family! Come on, Mikoto, don't be so formal, take a look at this Spirit Meditation Method!"
Ken and Mika both beamed and handed the scroll to Mikoto.
"Right, right! Also, eat some more!"
Mika even served Mikoto some food.
She was looking at Mikoto as if she were her daughter-in-law.
Kira couldn't help but chuckle at this scene.
Uchiha Hiro, on the other hand, was left speechless. Was this some kind of magical face-changing technique his parents had learned?
But when he saw the affection Mikoto had for Kira in her eyes, Uchiha Hiro quietly gave Kira a thumbs-up and whispered, "You're awesome! I don't bow down to anyone, but I bow down to you!"
This kid was just over a year old, and he already had a girlfriend. Who would believe that?
Uchiha Hiro was envious!
Mikoto was known as one of the most beautiful girls in the clan.
However, he himself didn't feel anything for Mikoto.
One, Mikoto was gentle with Kira but completely different with others.
Second, Uchiha Hiro already had someone he liked. Another girl from the clan.
"This technique is too precious; I can't accept it!"
At this moment, Mikoto, who had just glanced at the Spirit Meditation Method, looked horrified and then seriously turned to Ken and Mika, saying, She pushed the scroll back.
Mika and Ken both turned to look at Kira.
Kira immediately handed the scroll back to Mikoto and said, "Take it. It's for you."
"You've always wanted to control your own fate and have been working hard to train for it, right?"
"This training method is my support for you. Take it seriously, learn it well. I'm looking forward to you getting stronger so you can protect me and break free from your destiny!"
"As long as you're strong enough, even if the Great Elder doesn't approve of our marriage, he won't be able to stop us!"
In addition, Kira was giving the Spirit Meditation Method to his family not just to help them get stronger but also to test some of his guesses and experiments about the Sharingan.
He wanted to see what effect simply enhancing mental power would have on the Sharingan.
This was related to his future ability to awaken the Sharingan and create its training methods.
Even the future evolution to the Mangekyō Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was connected to this.
"Ah..."
Mikoto, hearing this, immediately blushed and lowered her head under the watchful eyes of Uchiha Ken, Mika, and the others.
Her face turned red, and she whispered, "I understand! Don't worry, I'll learn it well and absolutely won't tell anyone. I'll work hard to get stronger, control my fate, and protect you, Kira."
These weren't just empty words; they were her true feelings.
Kira had helped her so much all this time.
From the Uchiha medicinal bath formula to the body tempering bath formula, and even the advice he had given her on physical and ninjutsu training.
Yes, Kira had often guided Mikoto in her training.
Even though Kira himself hadn't trained in these areas yet.
But he had already studied many books on physical techniques and ninjutsu.
And with his incredible talent, his guidance was more than enough for Mikoto.
In fact, Mikoto felt that Kira's advice was even better than her grandfather, the Uchiha Elder. It was more on point and practical.
"Hoho..."
Hearing Mikoto's response, Uchiha Kira, Mika, and Uchiha Hiro couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

A few months passed quickly,
Kira was now 2 years old,
And his body had already become as strong as a 5 or 6-year-old child, even surpassing them.
His bones, muscles, meridians, and even his vitality were incomparable to a normal 5 or 6-year-old.
"Finally, I can start basic body tempering training! Now I need to create a body tempering technique that suits me!"
Kira stretched out his muscles and practiced a set of Tai Chi from his past life in the yard, feeling refreshed as he mumbled to himself.
He had been waiting for this day for two years.
Of course, even though his bones and muscles now surpassed those of a 5 or 6-year-old, he wasn't yet ready to practice Chakra refinement techniques.
After all, chakra refining was always a process that consumed one's cellular energy. If not careful, it could harm your foundation and potential.
He wouldn't make such a foolish move.
Until he had perfected his training system and ensured that chakra refining wouldn't damage his foundation, he wasn't going to take the risk.
