Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

"Continue."

Clearing his thoughts, Qingming decided to stop overthinking. He raised his hand and prepared to continue practicing the Clone Technique.

However, just as he formed the seals, he realized that his chakra had been completely depleted. He simply didn't have enough left to cast the jutsu again.

He glanced at the panel, and sure enough, his chakra had bottomed out.

Recalling the memories in his mind, Qingming sat down cross-legged, focusing his thoughts on his body. Using his willpower, he began to draw out the physical energy generated by his cells.

Afterward, he mixed it evenly with his mental energy, and after a series of conversions, it became chakra, which flowed into the chakra pathways that spread throughout his body.

As the process continued, the chakra in his body gradually replenished.

...

An hour passed.

Qingming opened his eyes.

"Panel!"

With a thought, Qingming summoned the proficiency panel.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10

Physique: 5

Spirit: 7

Chakra: 2→52 (125→126)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (51/100)

Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (1/100)

Clone Technique: lv0 (6/100)]

Just like the Clone Technique, once he refined chakra for the first time, a new skill called 'Chakra Refinement Technique' appeared on the panel.

At level 0, this technique increased his chakra limit by 1 point and restored 50 points of chakra every hour he performed it. Simultaneously, the proficiency increased by 1 point.

It was easy to predict that as its level increased, the effects would also rise sharply.

Right now, his growth might not match that of geniuses, but in the future, that could change.

With that thought, Qingming wasted no time. He focused again, closing his eyes and resumed refining chakra.

...

Time ticked by.

Another hour passed.

Qingming opened his eyes, feeling the chakra in his body. It was close to his limit, so he stopped refining.

Of course, he couldn't continue refining even if he wanted to.

After all, chakra wasn't created from thin air. The refining process consumed his physical and mental energy.

The effort to absorb the memories from his predecessor had already exhausted his mind. Then, he spent time devising strategies and exploring the panel's functions, leaving him mentally drained.

Continuing would not only be counterproductive but might also cause lasting damage.

Since that was the case, it was better to stop for now.

'Still, I shouldn't let this chakra go to waste,' he thought.

Determined, Qingming pushed through his fatigue, recalled the memories in his mind, and formed seals once again to attempt the Clone Technique.

A few minutes later, his chakra was depleted, and he had tried the Clone Technique five times.

As expected, all attempts failed.

It wasn't surprising. Even actual ninja academy students needed years to master the basic Three Basic Techniques. For him, an outsider, thinking he could succeed after a few tries was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Even with the advantage of his predecessor's memories, it wasn't enough.

However, from the proficiency panel, it was clear he was now four-fifths of the way to success.

At this point, the only thing holding back his progress was his chakra reserves.

But that was something he couldn't improve quickly. After all, he wasn't some genius blessed with enormous chakra reserves at such a young age.

For now, he would have to grow step by step.

Glancing at the bright moon outside the window, Qingming decided not to dwell on it any longer. After washing up briefly, he returned to his bedroom.

Soon, the quiet sound of snoring filled the room.

Outside.

At some unknown point, a figure appeared.

Crimson eyes shone brightly in the night—it was a Uchiha ninja with the three-tomoe Sharingan.

He stared at Qingming for a while, then silently disappeared.

...

The next day.

Morning.

Qingming woke from his sleep, and the first thing he did was open the panel.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10

Physique: 5

Spirit: 7

Chakra: 37 (127)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (51/100)

Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (2/100)

Clone Technique: lv0 (19/100)]

After confirming everything was real, he let out a long breath of relief.

He then shifted his gaze to his chakra.

It showed that after a night's rest, his chakra had naturally restored over 30 points, even without specifically refining it.

Still, Qingming didn't use his chakra right away. He had school today, and it would be inconvenient if he needed it later.

He had considered taking a few days off to fully harness the benefits his predecessor left behind, but doing so would likely draw more attention.

In that case, it was better to go to school!

Even if he slipped up and revealed something odd, he could use the excuse of recent trauma to explain his behavior.

If he stayed at home and someone came to visit, it would be harder to cover up.

After weighing his options, Qingming decided to go to school. As long as he kept a low profile, there shouldn't be any major issues.

With that decided, he stopped overthinking, quickly got ready, ate something to fill his stomach, and headed straight for the ninja academy.

The Uchiha clan hadn't been forced to move to the outskirts of the village yet, so they still lived in the central area, not far from the academy.

As a result, Qingming arrived quickly.

Following his memories, he found his classroom. On the way, some people greeted him, and he merely nodded in response.

Luckily, his predecessor was just as aloof as many other Uchiha clan members. Otherwise, Qingming would have had a hard time maintaining his cover.

Ding-ding-ding~

About ten minutes later, the school bell rang.

A ninja in his twenties walked into the classroom. He was their homeroom teacher and also their instructor, named Sanmoku Ichitō.

According to his predecessor's memories, this teacher, like most of the staff, didn't show much favoritism toward any students.

So, Qingming didn't need to worry about his Uchiha surname causing any trouble.

As he was thinking this, he noticed Sanmoku Ichitō glance at him, making Qingming's heart race.

Fortunately, the teacher didn't stare for long and soon started the lesson.

On the podium, Sanmoku Ichitō was saying something, but Qingming wasn't listening. His mind was racing, wondering why the teacher had looked at him.

He was sure that the glance wasn't random. The teacher had been observing him carefully.

'Did he notice something?'

Qingming's heart was filled with unease.

Ding-ding-ding~

Suddenly, the bell rang, startling Qingming. Without realizing it, the lesson had already ended.

Sanmoku Ichitō glanced at the distracted Qingming, shook his head, and without saying much, called for the class to be dismissed before leaving the room.

As Qingming's teacher, he naturally knew about the death of his parents.

In fact, the school informed teachers of any student whose relatives had been killed. This was information shared directly by the higher-ups of Konoha.

The purpose, of course, was to help teachers guide their students and prevent any extreme actions.

Sanmoku Ichitō had intended to counsel Uchiha Qingming today.

However, last night, Uchiha clan members had already informed him that he didn't need to offer guidance, so he refrained from intervening.

The Uchiha's reasons were simple—they wanted to see if Qingming would awaken the Sharingan.

For the Uchiha higher-ups, it didn't matter if an average clan member was lost. If he awakened the Sharingan, it would be worth it.

That was why they didn't want Sanmoku Ichitō to interfere.

If this had been the future Iruka, he might have resisted the pressure and guided Qingming. But Sanmoku Ichitō wasn't so responsible, so he simply went along with it.

Of course, Qingming knew nothing of this. He was still worried about the teacher's extra attention.

However, after some reflection, he guessed that Sanmoku Ichitō likely had no ill intentions.

He probably just knew about the deaths of Qingming's parents and was showing some concern.

"Phew—"

With these thoughts in mind, Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
