"Qingming, what are you doing?"
Just as Qingming was pondering whether he could advance his 'Chakra Control' to the beginner level before handing in his task, Ryōji's voice suddenly came from beside him.
He was staring at his feet in shock, exclaiming, "Why can you stand in the water?"
Qingming looked down and realized that the water was so clear he could see his feet floating above it.
Not hiding anything, Qingming explained that he was practicing his Chakra control.
"What's the use of that?"
After hearing Qingming's explanation, Ryōji questioned, confused.
Before Qingming could respond, Furukawa interjected, "Of course it's useful, and very useful at that."
As he spoke, he walked over from a distance.
"Sensei!" ×3
Seeing him, Qingming and his companions greeted in unison.
"Mm."
Furukawa nodded, glancing at Qingming's feet before continuing, "Practicing this skill will allow you to save Chakra when learning and using Ninjutsu, and it will help you maintain greater stamina in battles."
"Can we learn it too?"
Ryōji asked hopefully.
After thinking for a moment, Furukawa replied, "I wasn't planning on teaching you this so soon, but since Qingming has already started practicing, you might as well join him."
In fact, he had noticed Qingming's little actions long ago; he just wanted to see how far Qingming could go without guidance.
It turned out that even if Qingming wasn't a top genius, he was still superior to most people.
In just a few hours, he had elevated his Chakra control to this extent, which was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Moreover, he hadn't even practiced in the most efficient way—starting with tree climbing and then water walking.
If he had guided him from the start, Qingming's progress would have certainly been even faster.
But that was just Furukawa's personal opinion.
For Qingming, there was no need to practice in a step-by-step manner.
With the proficiency panel, all he had to do was gather Chakra at the soles of his feet and maintain it for a while to gain a bit of proficiency.
As his proficiency accumulated, his Chakra control would rapidly improve.
Therefore, there was no need to start with tree climbing, as it wouldn't significantly speed up his proficiency accumulation.
"Sensei, are we going to start water training too?"
Ryōji shouted excitedly.
"No."
Furukawa directly denied him.
"Why?"
Ryōji asked, puzzled. "Isn't that how Qingming practiced?"
'That's because he is a genius.'
Furukawa wanted to say this but couldn't, as it would dampen the students' enthusiasm.
Instead, he tactfully replied, "Everyone's situation is different. Qingming can start with water walking, but you can't."
"So how are we supposed to practice?"
Ryōji questioned.
"Tree climbing."
Furukawa answered.
"Tree climbing?" ×2
Ryōji and Mizutani Seiko exclaimed simultaneously.
"Exactly."
Furukawa nodded and told Qingming, "You stay here and practice by yourself."
"Mm."
Qingming responded, indicating his understanding.
"You two follow me."
Furukawa called Ryōji and Mizutani Seiko, and the three of them walked toward the nearby woods.
The familiar routine followed—gather Chakra, sprint, climb the tree, fall down, sprint again, climb again, and fall.
Perhaps because Qingming served as a role model, Ryōji and Mizutani Seiko practiced especially diligently.
Despite appearing carefree and unconcerned, Ryōji was actually quite competitive.
Although he didn't say much about Furukawa's differing treatment, he secretly wanted to prove himself, so he practiced diligently.
Mizutani Seiko, on the other hand, had a gentle exterior but was determined internally.
Though she often remained silent and seemed to lack opinions, once she set her mind on something, she would pursue it relentlessly.
In this way, both of Qingming's companions were far from ordinary.
But when he thought about it, given that they had some merits, how could they be grouped with him and assigned to a real Jōnin for training?
Yet, both of these individuals had probably died during the Third Shinobi World War or subsequent missions, having never even crossed Qingming's mind in his past life.
This illustrated the cruelty of the Shinobi World War and the dangers of the Shinobi path.
Every time he thought about this, Qingming felt he couldn't afford to slack off for a moment, so he seized every opportunity to enhance himself and prepare for the future.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
It was now early November.
In the Uchiha clan territory, at Qingming's home.
Late at night, after completing the final round of training, Qingming, feeling exhausted, opened his proficiency panel.
[Name: Uchiha Qingming]
[Age: 10]
[Physique: 6]
[Spirit: 7]
[Chakra: 16 (910→1546)]
[Bloodline: Sharingan · Not Awakened (58/100) → (71/100)]
[Skills: Chakra Refining Technique: lv2 (81/500) → lv2 (240/500)]
[Shadow Clone Technique: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (140/500)]
[Transformation Technique: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (130/500)]
[Substitution Technique: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (110/500)]
[Fire Style · Great Fireball Technique: lv1 (1/200) → lv1 (16/200)]
[Mind Reflection Technique: lv1 (77/200) → lv2 (1/500)]
[Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (150/500)]
[Ninja Tool Throwing: lv2 (120/500) → lv2 (260/500)]
[Chakra Control: lv0 (61/100) → lv2 (350/500)]
In the past half month, everything had proceeded smoothly.
During the day, he followed the team to perform some menial tasks, and at night, he trained diligently.
Initially, tasks did impact his training.
But as his 'Chakra Control' steadily improved, the impact had become increasingly negligible.
From lv0 to lv1, his Chakra consumption for releasing Ninjutsu decreased by 5%.
From lv1 to lv2, it became 10%.
Now, with his proficiency at lv2 (350/500), the Chakra savings had reached 13.5%.
In other words, for the same Ninjutsu, he now consumed nearly one and a half percent less Chakra than before.
Clearly, this was no small number.
Adding in the occasional extra training when he didn't have tasks, he ultimately finished only one or two days later than he had planned to elevate 'Mind Reflection Technique' to lv2.
His Sharingan awakening progress also advanced as expected, increasing by thirteen points, from (58/100) to (71/100).
The only regret was that after leveling up 'Mind Reflection Technique' to lv2, the minimum Chakra consumption during use did not decrease; it only significantly increased the speed of hand seals.
However, this didn't hold much significance for him.
Fortunately, with the upgrade of 'Mind Reflection Technique,' the previously slightly slowed Sharingan awakening progress resumed its initial speed.
For a short time, he could still maintain ten 'Mind Reflection Techniques' proficiency, driving the awakening of one Sharingan.
Now it was just a matter of how long he could keep this speed.
As for a one-time clearance?
Qingming hadn't thought of that.
If it were that simple, members of the Uchiha clan would have awakened their Sharingan long ago.
He estimated that he would need to level up 'Mind Reflection Technique' to at least lv3 to succeed.
But this was not a difficult task for him.
Additionally, aside from 'Mind Reflection Technique' and Sharingan awakening progress, many of his other skills had also improved over the past half month.
This was mainly due to Furukawa's training.
Unfortunately, limited by Chakra input, his growth rate was average.
For skills like the Shadow Clone Technique, Basic Taijutsu, and Ninja Tool Throwing, whose Chakra consumption was low, proficiency increased by over a hundred points.
'Chakra Control' had skyrocketed two levels to lv2 (350/500), thanks to the ability to practice anytime and anywhere.
It was now the highest-level skill among all his abilities.
Unfortunately, the 'Great Fireball Technique,' which required a minimum of one hundred Chakra to use each time, saw little practice, resulting in only a slight increase of about ten points in proficiency.
Moreover, the most significant change was that his Chakra upper limit had risen from 910 points to 1546 points.
This put him at roughly average level among the middle-tier Chūnin.
It only goes to show that sometimes, the gap between people can be larger than that between humans and dogs.
Everyone said Kakashi had low Chakra, but even under the continuous drain of the Sharingan, he could still perform multiple Raikiri and Kamui.
These were all S-rank Ninjutsu and eye techniques.
And this was not counting techniques like Doton: Doryūheki and Raiton: Shunshin used during battle.
If counted, according to the panel's calculation method, his Chakra volume was likely over ten thousand points.
So, the lack of Chakra was relative.
Many Jōnin probably didn't even reach Kakashi's level of Chakra.
Thus, Qingming still had significant room for improvement.
