Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Picking up the scroll from the ground, Qingming dispelled the transformation technique, returning to his original self from Liangjie's form.

That's right; both "Qingming" and "Liangjie" just now were fakes.

In order to lower Furukawa's guard, the two had used transformation techniques to swap identities before revealing themselves.

Only in this way could they successfully snatch the scroll from Furukawa.

However, what Qingming didn't expect was that the Furukawa they had been outsmarting was also a fake.

It was astonishing that a mere shadow clone could lead them in circles; this gave Qingming a clearer understanding of the strength of a jōnin.

Clap, clap, clap—

At this moment, a round of applause approached from afar.

The three turned towards the sound, only to see Furukawa elegantly walking out from the forest.

"Furukawa-sensei!" ×2

Recovering from their surprise, Liangjie and Mizutani Seiko immediately greeted him.

Furukawa nodded at them and then looked at Qingming, saying, "You just acted without hesitation. Weren't you afraid of hurting me?"

In response, Qingming shook his head and replied, "Sensei Furukawa is a jōnin; an attack like that couldn't possibly hurt you. If we didn't intend to kill you, we wouldn't have been able to take the scroll from you."

"Exactly!"

Furukawa nodded in satisfaction, then addressed the other two: "You both did well too!"

"Then, Sensei, do you think we've passed the test?"

Liangjie, having regained his composure, asked eagerly.

"Of course."

Furukawa smiled and replied, "Congratulations! You won't have to return to school for a retake."

"Yay!"

Liangjie exclaimed in excitement.

Mizutani Seiko also displayed an excited expression.

Only Qingming maintained his usual serious demeanor.

After the excitement died down, Furukawa spoke again, "To celebrate the establishment of Team 17, the teacher will treat you to barbecue."

Upon hearing this news, Liangjie became even more thrilled.

Even Qingming couldn't help but smile slightly.

After all, for a while now, he had been almost sick of the bento lunches.

Though he would occasionally improve his meals, nothing could compare to barbecue, which he had previously been too frugal to indulge in.

Now that he could indulge openly, he was naturally pleased.

Afternoon.

Uchiha Clan Compound.

Upon returning home, Qingming recalled Furukawa's pained expression from earlier, unable to hold back a chuckle.

However, these were trivial matters.

Having already "wasted" a morning, it was time to focus on completing today's training plan.

At this stage, with his 'Chakra Refinement Technique' unable to break through lv2, and with his physique and spirit attributes remaining stable, the maximum amount of chakra he could utilize daily was around 2400 to 2500 points.

Out of this, he planned to invest 2000 points into practicing the 'Mind Reflection Technique.'

This way, he could gain ten proficiency points in 'Mind Reflection Technique' each day, and his Sharingan awakening progress would increase by one point as well.

Thus, in less than half a month, his Sharingan awakening progress would reach (70/100).

As for what came next, that would require further planning.

Because by then, his 'Mind Reflection Technique' would rise to lv2.

At that point, the chakra consumed per use might change, and its effect on awakening the Sharingan could also alter.

Therefore, his plans would naturally need to adapt accordingly.

But...

"Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., gather in front of the Hokage Building. We will officially begin taking on missions."

Thinking of what Furukawa had said when they parted, Qingming couldn't help but frown.

Just as he suspected, the village had no intention of immediately sending them inexperienced newcomers to the battlefield, but they wouldn't let them idle either.

For the next period, they would likely have to execute various tasks like finding lost cats, cleaning up garbage, and taking care of children, just like previous students.

Although this was to familiarize them with task processes and adapt them to the life of a ninja, it was undoubtedly a waste of time.

And if he wanted to make the most of his chakra, he needed to ensure at least ten hours of meditation daily to refine his chakra.

Clearly, these two things were contradictory.

Executing tasks required time, and training also required time. With only twenty-four hours in a day, and excluding eating, drinking, and resting, there was hardly any time left.

Thus, he needed to find a way to resolve this conflict.

After much contemplation, Qingming came up with three approaches.

First, he could enhance his body's natural chakra recovery speed.

This required increasing his physique and spirit attributes, which wouldn't show results in a short time, so he could set it aside for now.

Second, he could increase the amount of chakra restored per unit of time.

This required upgrading his 'Chakra Refinement Technique,' but leveling it from lv2 to lv3 needed 500 proficiency points.

Currently, his proficiency was less than seventy.

Even if he maximized his meditation and refinement for twelve hours a day, he would only gain twelve proficiency points, which would take over a month.

In the short term, this too yielded no hope.

So, this option could also be postponed.

That left only the third approach...

The Next Day.

Afternoon.

Under Furukawa's guidance, Qingming and the others carried baskets on their backs, picking up garbage along a river at the village's edge.

During this time, Liangjie occasionally complained.

Qingming waded through the water, carefully moving forward while bending down to pick up trash.

If one looked closely, they would notice that his feet weren't touching the riverbed; he was simply walking through the water.

A few minutes later.

Proficiency +1!

Chakra Control: lv0 (60/100) → lv0 (61/100)!

That's right, this was Qingming's third approach.

He aimed to improve his chakra control to reduce the chakra required when practicing ninjutsu.

For a ninja, the chakra required to perform each ninjutsu varies; if too much or too little chakra is mobilized, it could result in a failure to perform the technique.

Even if not, there could still be a waste of chakra.

Thus, accurately controlling chakra is a critical consideration for every ninja.

After much exploration, the ninja world developed a set of effective training methods: tree climbing and water walking.

For ninjas, gathering chakra in the soles of their feet is the most challenging task, while the chakra required for tree climbing and water walking is very delicate.

Any slight mistake could lead to failure.

Therefore, if one masters these two techniques, they can effectively control their chakra.

What Qingming was doing was precisely this.

"Panel!"

With a thought, Qingming summoned his proficiency panel.

A familiar light blue interface appeared, filling his vision:

[Name: Uchiha Qingming]

[Age: 10]

[Physique: 6]

[Spirit: 7]

[Chakra: 215 (862→910)]

[Bloodline: Sharingan · Not Yet Awakened (57/100) → (58/100)]

[Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv2 (69/500) → lv2 (81/500)]

[Shadow Clone Technique: lv2 (1/500)]

[Transformation Technique: lv2 (1/500)]

[Substitution Technique: lv2 (1/500)]

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: lv1 (1/200)]

[Mind Reflection Technique: lv1 (65/200) → lv1 (77/200)]

[Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (1/500)]

[Ninja Tool Throwing: lv2 (120/500)]

[Chakra Control: lv0 (61/100)]

Practicing chakra control doesn't require consuming too much chakra or needing to set aside separate time for training.

Thus, Qingming quickly raised it to lv0 (61/100).

At this point, when casting the same ninjutsu, the chakra he consumed could be reduced by approximately 3%.

Though it may seem like a small amount, when accumulated over time, it's still significant.

Moreover, as he continued to practice, his 'Chakra Control' would gradually upgrade, and its effects would rise accordingly.

With the same amount of chakra, he could cast more ninjutsu, which essentially alleviated the issue of insufficient time.

The only potential impact might be on the proficiency of the 'Chakra Refinement Technique.'

However, his current focus wasn't on that; going slower was acceptable.
