The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Most importantly, compared to tree climbing and water treading training that requires a lot of chakra, the chakra splitting method consumes far less chakra. After all, the less chakra you control, the better the effect, and the less it is lost in the process. With Uchiha Kiyoshi being able to control a chakra ball that is about one-twentieth the size of a sesame seed, it can actually be said that the consumption is very small.

(A sesame seed-sized amount of chakra is approximately 1 calorie, meaning that the minimum amount of chakra Uchiha Kiyoshi could control was about 0.05 calories.)

Having come up with an idea, Uchiha Kiyoshi began to try it out.

While it's true that the less chakra you control, the better the training effect, it's not necessary to always use the minimum amount for practice, since prolonged mental concentration can easily lead to fatigue.

To put it simply, if a person can control at least 0.1 kilocalories of chakra, then during practice, they don't necessarily need to try to control 0.1 kilocalories. Instead, they can control 0.5 kilocalories or even around 1 kilocalorie, through various complex maneuvers, such as controlling several kilocalories to move randomly. As the difficulty of the maneuvers increases, the ability to control chakra will also improve.

Uchiha Kiyoshi attempted to control about 0.5 kilocalories of chakra.

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi could control up to 0.05 chakra at his limit, that was a limit state where his mind was highly focused and he was simply controlling the amount of chakra. As for the movement of such a small amount of chakra, Uchiha Kiyoshi could not do it.

Even a 0.5-calorie chakra ball is difficult enough for Uchiha Kiyoshi to control. All he can do is control the chakra to perform some basic movements, so it's perfect for practice.

First, control a 0.5-calorie chakra ball to make it move in a circle, then increase the speed, then decrease the speed...

Within a day, Uchiha Kiyoshi could feel a significant improvement in his chakra control. However, the effect was only good the first time, and the improvement would become smaller with subsequent training. Uchiha Kiyoshi was mentally prepared for this.

Chakra emitted a blue light and moved constantly in Uchiha Kiyoshi's hand, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a circle, and the speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

While training, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also thinking about how to improve this method. After all, he could feel that as he practiced, his progress would inevitably become smaller and smaller, so he could only continuously control the amount of chakra.

However, this is also difficult. After all, a chakra the size of half a sesame seed (0.5 calories) is already hard to observe. It's only thanks to the blue light emanating from the chakra that it's spinning; otherwise, where would the chakra ball go?

That would be awkward.

Later, when he has more chakra, he will naturally be able to choose to continue practicing with smaller amounts of chakra. But right now, Uchiha Kiyoshi is not at that point yet, so he can only think of another way for the time being.

The minimum amount of chakra that can be controlled is constantly changing. As chakra increases, the minimum amount that can be directly controlled also increases. With Uchiha Kiyoshi's current level of control, once his chakra grows to around 100 calories, the minimum amount of chakra he can control will likely become 1 calorie.

That's right, this growth isn't proportional. Although it's not exponential, as chakra increases, if you don't pay attention to chakra control training, the proportion of chakra you can control will gradually decrease.

有了100卡的查克拉之后，宇智波清自然可以尝试着从5卡慢慢减少到0.5卡。甚至以后有了几千卡左右的查克拉，宇智波清更是能够从10卡的练习慢慢减少到1卡。

Unfortunately, one must eventually face reality. Uchiha Kiyoshi currently only has about 3.6 chakra, which can only be increased by training the control of chakra balls with less than 1 chakra, with 0.5 chakra being the most effective.

However, after a day of training, constantly staring at the chakra ball the size of a sesame seed, I still felt very tired.

Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily improve the method.

This time, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't look for inspiration from other novels, but instead recalled the Naruto fanfiction he had read to see if he could find any clues.

"I remember there are a few fanfics where the protagonist controls the ball with chakra. With the weight of the ball, controlling the chakra becomes more difficult, like carrying a load. That should be quite effective, right? We can also increase the number of balls we use."

Uchiha Kiyoshi muttered to himself, imagining himself controlling the small metal ball, and even, in the future, controlling five or six small balls, moving them nimbly in his hand. Ha, isn't this just like playing with walnuts...?

Or perhaps it's similar to twirling a pen, moving it between your fingers?

Good ideas, good ideas. I'll write them down and try them out.

Uchiha Kiyoshi took out his notebook and wrote down his thoughts.

A bad pen is worse than a good memory. Uchiha Kiyoshi had so many things to remember, it was inevitable that he would forget them, so it was better to write them down.

......

A few days later, Uchiha Kiyoshi's training was also on track.

Ninja Academy, Class 1, Grade 1.

"Today, we continue to learn about the refinement of chakra."

As mentioned before, chakra is formed by the fusion of physical and spiritual energy. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to perceive both physical and spiritual energy...

Although Naoki Uemura was speaking passionately, more than half of the students below didn't look up to listen attentively. These students were all clan ninjas who had already refined their chakra long ago, and besides, what Naoki Uemura was talking about had already been covered during their clan's special training, so whether they listened or not didn't really matter.

The remaining students who listened attentively were all ordinary people. Even those whose families had ninjas to help them and who had already completed the refinement of chakra still couldn't explain some details as clearly as professionals like Naoki Uemura, so they listened attentively.

There were only about five or six students who actually learned about chakra extraction methods after entering the ninja academy. Moreover, they had no ninjas at home to help them and had not yet extracted chakra, so they had to rely entirely on themselves.

However, they truly lived up to their reputation as students who made it into Class 1; their talent in chakra was quite impressive. It was a mystery how the school had assessed their abilities in this area. They were now able to sense their physical energy, though their mental energy was only slightly lacking. As Naoki Uemura explained, they nodded frequently and took notes.

Chakra refinement is the focus of the entire first year of the Ninja Academy. Since the start of the school year, all four first-year classes except Class 2 have started teaching this subject. This course will continue for six months until all students have successfully refined their chakra. Of course, it will only last for six months. After six months, there are other courses. It is impossible to wait for individual students indefinitely.

Below, Rope Tree naturally enjoyed his rare and wonderful time without having to listen to lectures, looking left and right, seemingly unaware of what he was playing.

There was nothing he could do; Uchiha Kiyoshi was reading, and since it was class time, Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't pay any attention to him, so he could only entertain himself by himself.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kiyoshi was looking at the book "Basic Sealing Techniques" in his hand. At the same time, under the table, where no one could see, there was a metal ball the size of a soybean in his right hand, which was constantly moving in Uchiha Kiyoshi's palm and occasionally passing through Uchiha Kiyoshi's fingertips.

Aside from the ball's perfectly round motion, a closer look reveals that the ball never touched Uchiha Kiyoshi's right hand throughout the entire process. This means that all the ball's movements were controlled by Uchiha Kiyoshi using his chakra!

The entire ball wasn't actually very heavy, but compared to directly controlling chakra, it still created a lot of resistance for Uchiha Kiyoshi.

This little ball was specially ordered by Uchiha Kiyoshi a few days ago. There were four other little balls that came with it. The five little balls cost Uchiha Kiyoshi a total of 30,000 ryo, which made Uchiha Kiyoshi very distressed.

Unfortunately, after visiting several places, this was already the cheapest I could find. Making such a small metal sphere is incredibly difficult; some shops lacking the necessary skills even admitted they couldn't produce it. Furthermore, to facilitate the attachment of chakra and control of the sphere's movement, some chakra metal powder was mixed in, further increasing the price.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy it. As it turned out, Uchiha Kiyoshi's decision was very wise. With this little ball, the training effect of the past few days greatly improved, and Uchiha Kiyoshi could also keep a small ball in his hand whenever he had free time, so he could train at any time.

Just like during class, Uchiha Kiyoshi would put his hand under the desk and practice this while reading. Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi was now using a slightly higher amount of chakra, a full 0.8 calories, otherwise, he would have to concentrate fully just on training chakra control, let alone read.

In addition to his daily training, Uchiha Kiyoshi would engage in 10 to 20 minutes of extreme training before bed, constantly splitting his chakra to create smaller chakra clusters that he could maintain.

After completing this training, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't need to do any preparation; he simply fell asleep, and the effect was quite good.

Chapter Nineteen: Daily Life

Since Uchiha Kiyoshi's chakra control training has also gotten on track, Uchiha Kiyoshi has solved the problems in the two most important aspects of chakra and chakra control.

A month passed quickly.

Uchiha Kiyoshi followed his own plan and carried out his daily training.

The time spent at the Ninja Academy was all Uchiha Kiyoshi's study time. Well... he was learning the basics of medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques that he had borrowed himself.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also undergoing chakra control training. After a month, he was able to initially control the three small balls simultaneously to perform some difficult maneuvers.

The development of his health cultivation techniques was also proceeding in an orderly manner. In reality, this development involved Uchiha Kiyoshi attempting to control more spiritual energy at once and continuously refining the process of restoring chakra back to physical energy.

In one month, Uchiha Kiyoshi's chakra increased to 4.7 kilos.

In addition to that, there is physical training.

After school, he would train for an hour at the clan's training ground. Uchiha Kiyoshi has made great progress and can now accurately hit the center of a moving target. Now, Uchiha Kiyoshi has also begun training to throw multiple kunai at the same time.

Progress in taijutsu skills wasn't as noticeable. One could only say that after a month, Uchiha Kiyoshi's physical attributes had improved slightly, which in turn led to a small improvement in his overall taijutsu level. However, Uchiha Kiyoshi had no choice; he hadn't found a way to earn money yet, so this was all he could do. Perhaps he could wait another year or two until his body was fully developed before starting intensive training.

Besides, the taijutsu training course arranged by the ninja academy is only six months away, right? Maybe by then, your body will have already developed enough to do a certain amount of exercise. As long as you don't carry heavy loads, it shouldn't affect your physical development.

In short, Uchiha Kiyoshi had a very fulfilling month, and his strength increased significantly.

If Uchiha Kiyoshi were to fight a newly graduated genin, he could proudly say, "I could wear him out..."

Today, everything was as usual. Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at the classroom, sat in his seat, and took out his basic sealing technique—well... borrowed, not his own.

But the next moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi seemed to realize something and muttered to himself.

"Doesn't the Ninja Academy also have a data room? I don't think I've ever been there. Hmm, there's no time like the present, let's go see if there's any information that the Uchiha clan's data room doesn't have. But most likely not."

In Uchiha Kiyoshi's view, the Uchiha clan was definitely not weak in terms of accumulated experience, so he was just observing with a wait-and-see attitude.

It wasn't until he entered the archives and looked through several books on medical ninjutsu that Uchiha Kiyoshi realized he had been wrong.

The Uchiha clan's archives, or rather, the first floor of the archives, is open to the public. Anyone can borrow and view materials for a fee, but Uchiha clan members receive a discount and can essentially use the materials for free. Non-Uchiha members don't have this privilege and can only borrow materials with the assistance of a staff member. Since the materials are open to the public, they are primarily introductory, with very little actual training content. The only substantial material is the sealing technique basics in Uchiha Kiyoshi's possession, which includes the basic hand seals required for sealing techniques and their functions. Aside from lacking specific sealing techniques, it's quite comprehensive.

However, the Ninja Academy's archives are not open to the public; only Ninja Academy students are allowed to enter, and even then, their homeroom teachers must vouch for them if they wish to borrow anything.

As a result, the information here is naturally different from that in the Uchiha clan's archives.

Much of the information here relates to ninja training. Besides some tips on chakra training, there are also some basic genjutsu and taijutsu introductions. The ninjutsu in it may only be the most basic, D-rank ninjutsu that is only slightly higher than the Three Body Techniques, but it is still real stuff!

There is also medical ninjutsu. Uchiha Kiyoshi already knows that there is a D-rank medical ninjutsu here, the Hemostasis Technique, which is also an introductory medical ninjutsu.

There are no sealing techniques here. This is considered advanced knowledge. This book only contains basic information on sealing techniques, which is similar to what Uchiha Kiyoshi has, but it's not even as detailed as Uchiha Kiyoshi's book.

In fact, the book on sealing techniques in Uchiha Kiyoshi's possession is the most precious item on the first floor of the Uchiha clan's archives. It's only because Uchiha Kiyoshi is a member of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Yu gave him a discount, that he was able to borrow it for 1,000 ryo. If an outsider were to borrow it, it would cost at least a million.

Much of the knowledge in the Ninja Academy's archives is actually a hidden perk given to the students by the village. Only those students who study hard, train diligently, and have extra energy will discover this knowledge after entering the academy. When the teachers of each class vouch for them, they also take into account the students' grades. Only students who pass the tests and keep up with the pace will be vouched for, while being instructed not to reveal the contents of this place.

Perhaps this is also a reward for outstanding students.

Uchiha Kiyoshi saw a lot of more comprehensive information on medical ninjutsu in the medical area, and was a little dazzled for a moment.

"So, have you decided which one to choose?"

Just as Uchiha Kiyoshi was focused on choosing books, he heard Uemura Naoki's voice from behind.

Uchiha Kiyoshi turned his head and saw his teacher, and was also surprised. What was he doing here? Wasn't class about to start? Shouldn't he be preparing?

Actually, Naoki Uemura was preparing to teach a class in his office when he received a notification from the archives manager just as Kiyoshi Uchiha entered the archives room. That's why he rushed over to explain the situation to Kiyoshi.

Naoki Uemura was also conflicted about Uchiha Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi just wouldn't listen in class, but he knew everything that was taught, so he just let it go. Of course, he would still check on him from time to time.

If it were Uchiha Kiyoshi who came to borrow some materials, he wouldn't object. Moreover, from the Third Hokage's instructions, he knew that Uchiha Kiyoshi was a different kind of Uchiha, a special Uchiha who was interested in medical ninjutsu.

Therefore, according to the Third Hokage's wishes, Uchiha Kiyoshi will become the ninja who inherits the Will of Fire.

After listening to Naoki Uemura's explanation, Kiyoshi Uchiha sighed in admiration. Indeed, Konoha truly deserves to be called the strongest ninja village, far surpassing other ninja villages in terms of its foundation. Even the archives of a mere ninja academy have such a reward mechanism.

Over this long period of time, Uchiha Kiyoshi had already read through all the books in the medical area. Since Uemura Naoki had already arrived, he simply took a copy of "The Complete Guide to Konoha Medical Ninjutsu". After reading it, Uemura Naoki couldn't help but value Uchiha Kiyoshi even more.

This book, "The Complete Guide to Konoha Medical Ninjutsu," was compiled in recent years by many medical ninjas of Konoha under the initiative and leadership of Tsunade. It is the most comprehensive summary of medical ninjutsu in Konoha and is very suitable for beginners of medical ninjutsu.

Naoki Uemura had initially thought that the other party would choose the book containing the hemostasis technique, but now it seems that Kiyoshi Uchiha is still very clear-headed, knowing his own level and understanding what he lacks.

However, Naoki Uemura was mistaken. Kiyoshi Uchiha's current skill level is actually high enough to practice hemostasis techniques, but he has too little chakra and can only practice once a day at most, which would inevitably interfere with other plans, so he hasn't chosen to do so yet. Moreover, Kiyoshi Uchiha clearly understands the importance of a solid foundation.

In his previous life, Uchiha Kiyoshi studied hard from a young age, laying a very solid foundation, which made him more adept at his studies later on. He even chose to study both medicine and biology in college.

Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi, who understood the importance of the basics, chose a resource like "Complete Collection of Basics".

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; a solid foundation will allow you to progress quickly in learning medical ninjutsu later.

After selecting the materials and registering with the administrator, Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to the classroom with the Basic Encyclopedia.

At this moment, Nawaki had also arrived and was puzzled to see Uchiha Kiyoshi carrying a book.

"Qing, where did you go just now? Why did you come back with a book?"

"Did you take a book with you to the bathroom? That's way too much!"

As he spoke, Rope Tree's eyebrows danced with excitement, his face brimming with curiosity.

Uchiha Kiyoshi rolled his eyes at Nawaki's antics.
