Leisurely moments always pass quickly. Before long, an entire morning had gone by.
After finishing lunch, the three of them parted ways.
Qingming didn't waste any time; he headed straight back home and immediately began his training.
In the past half month, he had delayed his progress due to the C-rank missions outside the village, so his "Chakra Refinement Technique," which should have reached level 3 days ago, was still at level 2 (495/500).
Fortunately, it was almost there.
At his current rate, he should be able to level up before dark.
With this in mind, Qingming closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Time ticked by, and hours slipped away.
Soon, the sun had begun to set.
Inside the house, Qingming suddenly opened his eyes, and a sense of clarity washed over him.
After a long moment, he murmured, "Finally at level 3?"
Having said that, he closed his eyes again and continued to refine his chakra.
An hour later.
Qingming opened his eyes and called out, "Panel!"
In the next moment, a familiar light blue interface appeared:
Name: Uchiha Qingming
Age: 10 years
Constitution: 6
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 1650 (2500)
Bloodline: Sharingan - Unawakened (81/100) → (85/100)
Skills:
Chakra Refinement Technique: Level 3 (1/1000) → Level 3 (2/1000)Shadow Clone Technique: Level 2 (270/500) → Level 2 (430/500)Transformation Technique: Level 2 (260/500) → Level 2 (420/500)Substitution Technique: Level 2 (250/500) → Level 2 (410/500)Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: Level 1 (30/200) → Level 1 (50/200)Heart Mirror Technique: Level 2 (110/500) → Level 2 (260/500)Basic Taijutsu: Level 2 (280/500) → Level 2 (450/500)Ninja Tool Throwing: Level 3 (1/1000)Chakra Control: Level 3 (78/1000)
Just as he had realized earlier, the "Chakra Refinement Technique" had indeed advanced to level 3, enhancing its effectiveness once again.
Notably, his chakra recovery speed had doubled from 200 points per hour to 400, while the maximum chakra he could increase during this time had risen from 4 to 8 points.
He wasn't completely sure, though, because after his chakra limit reached 2500 points a week ago, it had not budged since.
The additional points had come from the passage of time rather than skill improvement.
Thus, he estimated that the level 3 "Chakra Refinement Technique" could increase his chakra limit by 8 points every hour, but it remained just an estimate.
However, a nagging feeling told Qingming that this number should be correct.
Yet, that wasn't particularly useful for him.
His potential had been maxed out a week prior; without an increase in talent, further chakra growth would rely solely on time and effort.
This wasn't something that could be solved simply by upgrading the "Chakra Refinement Technique," as the two were on entirely different levels.
In other words, the "Chakra Refinement Technique" now served only one purpose for him: to rapidly recover chakra.
Of course, he could still continue to increase his proficiency.
If he could elevate it to a higher level, once his Sharingan awakened and boosted his potential, he could more quickly manifest the newfound potential.
However, Qingming doubted he would reach that day.
It wasn't a matter of time; rather, he figured that by the time he increased the technique's level, his Sharingan would likely have awakened.
After all, progressing from level 3 to level 4 required a staggering 1000 points of proficiency.
Based on his previous rate of gaining one point per hour, that would equate to 1000 hours of practice.
With his current physical condition and ample nutrition, he could manage a maximum of eight hours a day.
Dividing 1000 by 8 equals 125.
That meant four months.
In that length of time, his Sharingan would undoubtedly have awakened.
Even though he had only made slight progress on his Sharingan in the past half month—from (81/100) to (85/100)—this still indicated a step forward.
Moreover, with the "Chakra Refinement Technique" upgraded to level 3, his maximum daily chakra usage had increased significantly.
Previously, he could utilize around 2400 to 2500 points; now, it was approximately 3500 points.
If he dedicated 3000 of those points to practicing the "Heart Mirror Technique," combined with the 15% chakra reduction from level 3 "Chakra Control," his proficiency in the "Heart Mirror Technique" would increase by about 17 to 18 points daily.
As such, the awakening of his Sharingan would surely accelerate.
That's why Qingming felt confident that he could awaken his Sharingan within four months, and that estimation might even be too long.
Given his planning, it wouldn't take more than two weeks for him to elevate his "Heart Mirror Technique" to level 3, significantly enhancing its effects.
Thus, the awakening speed of his Sharingan would undoubtedly exceed expectations.
Forcefully suppressing his growing excitement, Qingming shifted his gaze away from the awakening progress of his Sharingan and looked at his other skills.
Though these skills weren't his primary focus, he had made decent progress with them. For instance, his three-body technique proficiency had already surpassed level 2 (400/500).
If his assumptions were correct, the E-rank basic ninjutsu would max out at level 3, which meant he was quite close.
At that point, he could perhaps learn another ninjutsu.
As for what to learn, Qingming had some ideas.
For now, he didn't need offensive ninjutsu. The Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique could suffice for now, and he would have the Sharingan to assist him, so he wouldn't lack for offensive means.
What he needed was a means of defense.
In the ninja world, there weren't many genuine defensive ninjutsu, so he could only indirectly increase his escape options.
Thus, the Body Flicker Technique had entered his line of sight.
In the ninja world, the Body Flicker Technique could be broadly categorized into three types.
First were ninjutsu types, like Gaara's Sand Body Flicker, Zabuza's Mist Body Flicker, Hanzo's Water Body Flicker, and the most widely spread D-rank ninjutsu—Body Flicker Technique—among others. These are all achieved through the effects of ninjutsu to realize flickering.
The second type is body technique. This type relies on enhancing the muscles in a ninja's legs to achieve fast movement.
Representative examples include Might Guy and the Fourth Raikage.
As for the third type, it directly involves space transfer techniques, such as Flying Thunder God, representing instantaneous movement.
Compared to the first two, which are merely accelerated movement, the latter is undeniably closer to the concept of body flickering.
However, Qingming's goal wasn't the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It wasn't that he didn't want it or doubted his ability to learn it.
With his proficiency panel, he could forcibly learn any ninjutsu through diligent effort, provided he had no special needs.
The Flying Thunder God Technique fell into this category.
So theoretically, as long as he got his hands on the training methods for the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could master it.
But the problem was, he couldn't obtain it!
If it were a clan ninjutsu, he might find a way to acquire it, but the Flying Thunder God Technique was recorded in the Forbidden Scroll and classified as an S-rank ninjutsu.
There was no way a mere genin like him could access it.
After all, he wasn't Naruto; nobody was paving the way for him.
Thus, the technique he intended to learn was the widely circulated D-rank ninjutsu—the Body Flicker Technique.
Yet, just because it was common didn't mean it lacked effectiveness. In fact, it indicated its versatility, akin to the Shadow Clone Technique, which boasts excellent cost-effectiveness.
It would serve as a temporary measure for him.
Once his strength improved, he would have more choices available.
After pondering for a moment, Qingming turned his attention to "Basic Taijutsu" and "Ninja Tool Throwing."
The former had reached level 2 (450/500), so it wouldn't be long before he leveled up, while the latter had already risen from level 2 to level 3.
Unfortunately, after reaching level 3 (1/1000), its proficiency had plateaued.
Qingming had anticipated this.
Without the aid of the Sharingan, "Ninja Tool Throwing" had its limitations.
"Still need that Sharingan!"
Sighing, Qingming closed the panel and began brushing up on the proficiency of the "Heart Mirror Technique."
