Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Faint whistling sounds filled the air as six shuriken flew from Seimei's palm, cutting through the air and landing precisely on the target.
Proficiency +3!
This was the latest technique Seimei had discovered: throwing multiple shuriken or kunai simultaneously. If they hit the target, he would gain multiple proficiency points.
Thanks to this, in less than two hours, his 'Ninja Tool Throwing' proficiency had reached lv0 (96/100)!
He only needed to practice two more times to fully master it.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Several more shuriken flew out.
Proficiency +2!
Proficiency +3!
Ninja Tool Throwing: lv0 (96/100) → lv1 (1/200)!
The moment the proficiency leveled up, it was as if a layer of paper had been pierced, and Seimei gained a whole new understanding of ninja tool throwing.
He had felt this sensation before when his proficiency increased, but it had never been this obvious.
With a thought, Seimei grabbed a kunai from the side and casually threw it. Even without much effort, the kunai still hit the target.
'Is this the feeling of mastery?'
Thinking this, Seimei swiftly threw all the practice kunai and shuriken beside him. Just like before, they all hit the target.
He casually opened the panel and glanced at it, and the joy on his face instantly vanished.
After throwing so many kunai and shuriken in a row, his 'Ninja Tool Throwing' had only increased by one proficiency point.
'Is it the limitation of lv1, or is there another reason?'
Seimei pondered and immediately started testing.
About half an hour later, Seimei stopped.
After dozens of tests, he had figured out the reason.
There were probably two reasons why the proficiency increased so slowly. Firstly, the original owner's level was roughly at this point.
In other words, the experience and memories left behind could no longer help him improve.
Naturally, the growth rate would slow down.
Secondly...
His practice just now had been too casual.
Lv1 Ninja Tool Throwing required him to hit the bullseye, specifically the bullseye of the ten-meter target, in order to gain proficiency.
Otherwise, it was pointless practice.
Out of all the kunai and shuriken he had thrown earlier, only one shuriken happened to hit the bullseye; the rest were off.
That's why he only gained one proficiency point.
This also showed that the proficiency panel couldn't be fooled easily.
If he wanted to improve his strength, he had to put in the corresponding effort. The proficiency panel merely visualized his efforts.
But this was enough.
Many people slacked off not because they didn't want to work hard but because they couldn't see hope in their efforts, so they chose to give up.
Seimei believed that if every bit of sweat could be seen as a reward, most people would persevere.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking and focused all his attention on 'Ninja Tool Throwing' once more.
Hitting the ten-meter target wasn't a problem for him now, but hitting the bullseye was a bit challenging.
He had to concentrate to have a chance of success, and even then, it was only a possibility.
Time passed by, and kunai flew from his hand one after another. Most of them missed the bullseye, with less than ten percent hitting it directly.
In this way, the proficiency of Seimei's 'Ninja Tool Throwing' began to increase slowly and painstakingly.
Before he knew it, it was time to leave school.
Amidst the noise, Seimei opened the panel.
[Name: Uchiha Seimei
Age: 10 years old
Physique: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 21 (131)
Bloodline: Sharingan - Unawakened (51/100)
Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (8/100)
Clone Technique: lv0 (46/100)
Basic Taijutsu: lv0 (35/100)
Ninja Tool Throwing: lv1 (29/200)]
As one could see, after an afternoon of practice, his 'Ninja Tool Throwing' proficiency had increased by another twenty-eight points.
For this, he had also consumed over twenty points of chakra to replenish his stamina.
Otherwise, even an iron man couldn't keep going.
Fortunately, it was all worth it.
At today's rate, it wouldn't take a week for him to reach Lv2.
By then, in terms of throwing ninja tools alone, his ability would be no less than those students who had been in school for six years in previous years.
Even if he graduated early, his self-preservation ability would be somewhat stronger.
However, 'Ninja Tool Throwing' alone wasn't enough. 'Basic Taijutsu' and the three basic techniques also needed to catch up.
He wasn't in a hurry with 'Basic Taijutsu'. With the foundation left by the original owner, he could quickly master it, and then he could continue grinding.
As for the three basic techniques...
After dealing with the weekly test in three days, he could consider adding the 'Substitution Technique' and 'Transformation Technique' to his schedule.
Although the three basic techniques were somewhat weak against ninjas of higher levels, they were still useful against those of the same level.
Therefore, before graduation, he had to learn all of these, and even grind them to Lv2 or even Lv3.
Only then would he feel a little bit secure.
While thinking, he walked on.
Soon, Seimei returned home.
After eating something to fill his stomach, he immediately started training.
First, he refined chakra for two hours. Once his chakra was abundant, he began practicing the Clone Technique.
After exhausting his chakra, he practiced the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' for another two hours, recovering about a hundred points of chakra, and then continued practicing the Clone Technique.
After two cycles, it was basically dark outside, and his body was almost at its limit. It was time to rest.
When he woke up, it was a new day.
Going to school, training, repeating the cycle.
Just like that, a week passed.
Seimei had just returned home when he heard a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock~
The sudden knocking puzzled Seimei.
Since he had transmigrated, apart from his classmates and teachers, he had barely interacted with anyone else. Why would someone come looking for him?
Despite his doubts, Seimei opened the door.
As for danger...
Not to mention this was the heart of Konoha, the Uchiha name alone was enough to deter many people.
Unless some petty criminals were causing trouble, being within the Uchiha compound was absolutely safe.
And right now, those troublemakers were either not yet grown up or not in the village. What did Seimei have to worry about?
Creak~
The door opened.
An Uchiha ninja in a Konoha Jonin uniform stood outside.
"Seimei?"
The visitor spoke.
"Yes."
Seimei nodded in confusion and replied, "It's me. Who are you?"
"My name is Uchiha Haruto. I'm here today to deliver the compensation issued by the village to you."
Hearing this, Seimei instantly recalled the original owner's memories and showed a hint of sadness on his face at the right moment.
Seeing this, Uchiha Haruto didn't suspect anything and continued, "In addition, the clan will also provide you with a monthly living allowance of ten thousand ryō until you become a Genin."
As he spoke, he handed over an envelope.
"Thank you!"
Seimei lowered his head and thanked him, taking the thick envelope from his hand.
