Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Hope
Night.
In the training room, Qingming skillfully completed a series of hand seals, feeling his chakra surge within.
In the next moment, a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
Before him, a rabbit in a cage instantly fell into a deep sleep.
Proficiency +1!
At that moment, his proficiency in Mind Reflection Technique jumped from lv0 (99/100) to lv1 (1/200)!
With this upgrade, a unique chakra was born in his mind and flowed into his eyes.
"What is this…"
Suddenly, Qingming recalled what Senju Tobirama had said about the Uchiha clan's awakening of their Sharingan.
That is, Uchiha clan members are born with a significant amount of "love," and when they lose this "love," a special chakra floods their brains and acts upon their optic nerves.
At this point, their eyes would change, leading to the awakening of the Sharingan.
This process was remarkably similar to what Qingming had just experienced, and it made him ponder.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Qingming opened his proficiency panel.
Name: Uchiha Qingming
Age: 10 years
Physique: 6
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 415 (580 → 622)
Bloodline: Sharingan · Unawakened (51/100)
Skills:
Chakra Refinement Technique: lv2 (9/500)Shadow Clone Technique: lv2 (1/500)Transformation Technique: lv2 (1/500)Substitution Technique: lv2 (1/500)Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique: lv0 (52/100)Mind Reflection Technique: lv1 (1/200)Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (1/500)Ninja Tool Throwing: lv2 (120/500)
"Nothing changed?"
Seeing that the progress for awakening his Sharingan still read (51/100), Qingming was taken aback.
He never expected that the Mind Reflection Technique wouldn't work.
"No, wait…"
Taking a deep breath, Qingming slowly exhaled, closed his eyes, and thought deeply for a moment. After calming himself, he formed the seals again and cast the Mind Reflection Technique.
Before, he needed a rabbit as a target to ensure a successful execution. But now, he could perform this technique at will.
The only downside was that after upgrading to lv1, each use of Mind Reflection Technique required a minimum of two hundred chakra points.
While the chakra consumption of the Shadow Clone Technique did change after awakening, it was nowhere near as significant as the Mind Reflection Technique.
But it made sense. The Shadow Clone Technique is a basic E-rank ninjutsu that only costs around twenty chakra points to execute, while Mind Reflection Technique is an A-rank technique, requiring a minimum of one hundred chakra points before and now two hundred after the upgrade.
Fortunately, Qingming had a considerable amount of chakra now; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Returning his thoughts, Qingming focused on feeling the effects of the Mind Reflection Technique.
As before, a special chakra was born in his mind and surged into his eyes.
After several breaths, Qingming opened his eyes.
On the panel, the progress of awakening the Sharingan still hadn't changed.
However, this time, Qingming felt little emotional fluctuation.
No other reason; he could tell his eyes were drawing closer to awakening the Sharingan based on the feelings he had just experienced.
In other words, the Mind Reflection Technique was effective, albeit slightly weak.
Reflected on the panel, this meant the progress of awakening the Sharingan didn't move at all.
Now, it's a matter of how many times I need to use the Mind Reflection Technique before the awakening progress increases.
With this thought in mind, Qingming gathered his chakra again and formed the seals to cast the Mind Reflection Technique.
Once, twice, three times…
Hours passed.
When Qingming raised the proficiency of Mind Reflection Technique to lv1 (10/200), the panel finally showed that the awakening progress for the Sharingan had changed to (52/100).
This made Qingming breathe a sigh of relief.
While he had anticipated this outcome, he finally felt at ease when the panel truly changed.
After calculating in his mind, he realized he had consumed approximately two thousand chakra points to increase the awakening progress by one point.
This price was both significant and not.
For a genin to accumulate that much chakra wasn't easy, but for a chunin, it was manageable.
Even if he couldn't amass that amount at once like he did, spreading it out would work as well.
As long as one persisted in casting the technique daily, they could awaken the Sharingan in just a few months.
So, why has no Uchiha succeeded?
One could argue that after years of trying, no one had done it, but a few months of perseverance was definitely achievable.
Qingming wouldn't underestimate the Uchiha clan's desire for the Sharingan.
With that drive, there was no doubt they could hold on for a few months.
Yet despite this, no one had awakened their Sharingan using this technique.
This left Qingming shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty.
After contemplating for a long time, he still couldn't come to a conclusion.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it. After all, the progress on the panel had already changed. Now, all he had to do was put in the work.
Just right, he wouldn't have to go to school for the next few days. He could use this time to master the Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique and confirm the pattern for increasing the Sharingan's awakening progress, thereby formulating a better training plan.
But those were all matters for later. Qingming yawned, glancing at the time. It was already five in the morning.
To ensure the Mind Reflection Technique was effective, he had stayed up all night, and it was time to rest.
The Next Day.
Noon.
After eating a light meal, Qingming headed to the training ground to practice alone.
First, he focused on refining his chakra. The effect of lv2 Chakra Refinement Technique was impressive; in just three hours, it restored six hundred chakra points.
With his chakra replenished, he began practicing the Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique.
As a C-rank ninjutsu and an offensive technique, it required at least fifty chakra points for each use.
Currently, his Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique was at lv0 (52/100).
Every time he performed it, he would gain a point of proficiency, provided he followed the standard process, regardless of success.
In other words, he needed to practice forty-eight times to level up.
Forty-eight times fifty equals two thousand four hundred chakra points.
This was roughly the limit of what Qingming could use in a day.
Unless he could increase his physique a bit more or find easier-to-digest soldier pills, that limit would be hard to raise.
Boom!
A fireball was expelled from Qingming's mouth, quickly expanding into a massive fireball with a diameter of at least one and a half meters.
The fireball struck the ground, creating a deep pit, the inside of which was scorched black. Even after the flames extinguished, it still radiated intense heat.
After an afternoon, he managed to raise the Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique to lv0 (75/100). Although he hadn't mastered it yet, he could occasionally succeed now.
Just like before, that level of success was akin to having mastered it.
Looking up at the sky, Qingming saw the sun setting in the west. He decided not to linger any longer and returned home.
After a brief rest, he resumed his training.
It was inconvenient to practice ninjutsu indoors, so Qingming focused on the Mind Reflection Technique.
He practiced repeatedly until late at night before finally drifting into a deep sleep.
The following days unfolded in a similar fashion.
