The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Chapter 5 Chakra

The next morning, Uchiha Kiyoshi washed the dishes from the previous night and began a new day.

And just like that, a week passed.

For a week, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt like he was living in hell. If it weren't for the progress he could feel every morning, he really wouldn't have been able to keep going.

Indeed, there is no such thing as excellence without a reason. Every Uchiha clan member is among the best in the Ninja Academy, and there is no reason why.

In just one week, not a single one of the fifteen children gave up. A few times, some tried to quit, but Uchiha Shin's speech deeply moved them, making them feel ashamed of their past actions. They declared they would not tarnish the honor of the Uchiha clan and would definitely persevere…

Uchiha Kiyoshi was supposed to be getting all fired up... what a load of rubbish. Uchiha Kiyoshi had no energy to care about that; he was practically being trained like a dog himself, he had no interest in anyone else.

However, every time he thinks about it, Uchiha Kiyoshi can't help but sigh, "Indeed, there's a reason why the Uchiha clan is so powerful."

This training was not only an improvement for them, but also a form of family education. No wonder the Uchiha clan in the original work cared so much about the honor of their clan.

A week of training has passed, and Uchiha Kiyoshi remembers that today is the day Uchiha Takashi said they would officially begin refining chakra.

Having completed a series of preparations well in advance, Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at the training ground.

Sure enough, the "kids" were very enthusiastic today, arriving early and not even playing around, sitting there waiting for Uchiha Ryu's arrival.

Everyone had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and finally, they caught a glimpse of Uchiha Ryuu in the distance.

Uchiha Ryū also saw them and was satisfied.

Everyone seems to be in good spirits today!

Okay, do as I said before.

You've completed a week of physical training and met the basic requirements for chakra refining. Today, we will officially begin chakra training.

Uchiha Ryu observed the expressions on everyone's faces, and was quite satisfied with the eager looks in their eyes. This eagerness showed they had a strong interest in training. Even if they might give up later, their initial training and talent were enough for them to at least become Chunin. If they could awaken their Sharingan, becoming an elite Chunin wasn't out of the question.

In the Uchiha clan, whether someone becomes a ninja is not determined by their aptitude for chakra refining, but by their talent. Generally, one must have at least the aptitude of a Chunin before the clan will recommend them to become a ninja. Otherwise, if they are only a Genin, they will inevitably become cannon fodder, and it would be better for them to live a peaceful life in the clan with good food and drink.

Of course, even if someone has poor aptitude but insists on cultivating, the clan will not object, and sometimes will even support such a child, because they are usually very persistent, have good character, and have a strong obsession. After being stimulated, the probability of them awakening the Sharingan is still quite high.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan has a strong bloodline, and most clan members have the aptitude for training. Even those with at least Chunin potential make up about one-third of the clan.

This is only one cohort, yet it already has the potential to produce at least a dozen elite Chunin. Even if there are some losses in the future, there will generally still be four or five Chunin, and the probability of producing one elite Chunin is not small.

In other words, each generation of the clan produces four or five new Chunin. If we consider each ninja's peak period to be twenty years, then the Uchiha clan has at least eighty Chunin under normal circumstances! This doesn't include those who were promoted by chance. This gives you an idea of ​​the Uchiha clan's strength.

The important matters of the clan were not for a nobody like Uchiha Kiyoshi to think about, so he merely let them pass through his mind before stopping.

Listen carefully as Uchiha Takashi once again emphasized the precautions for refining chakra.

……

Uchiha Takashi didn't waste too much time. After going over some precautions, he announced that they could start trying to refine chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi adjusted his state, sat cross-legged on the ground, and prepared to begin refining chakra.

Close your eyes and, following the method taught by Uchiha Ryu, carefully sense your physical and mental energy.

The training the previous week had been so intense that even after obtaining the method, Uchiha Kiyoshi had never tried it before. This was his first attempt, as were everyone else present.

Perhaps due to the strength of his soul, Uchiha Kiyoshi soon felt his own spiritual energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't know how to describe it, he only knew that it was his own spiritual energy. He didn't have a concept of what it was, it was just a vague feeling, that was his own spiritual energy.

Moreover, thanks to his powerful soul, Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to easily control his spiritual energy, although he still couldn't feel or see anything; it was just a vague concept.

After trying it for a while, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped focusing on spiritual energy and started sensing his physical energy instead.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt the energy contained within his body.

Unlike spiritual energy, physical energy can be clearly perceived. It's a white energy—no, it should be described as a light green energy, only this "light" is a bit too much...

After sensing the energy in his body, Uchiha Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are no problems. I have already sensed the physical and mental energy."

Sure enough, my guess was right, and the feeling I had during the past week of training was also correct. Ignoring factors like aptitude, my body itself has good inherent talent.

Being able to sense two types of energy in just half an hour is not only good, but extremely good, even with a week of training!

Many people feel that they are stuck on spiritual energy, because spiritual energy is too vague and difficult to understand, and even the energy itself is vague.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to directly sense the spiritual energy thanks to the powerful light of his soul.

However, it can't be said that he got a free lunch. Isn't a powerful soul one of Uchiha Kiyoshi's own talents?

There must be some advantages to time travel, right? Even without a cheat code, having a slightly stronger soul isn't unreasonable, is it?

What? Is his soul too strong? No, no, no, that's not true. Reborn Uchiha Kiyoshi was born with the soul of a man in his twenties, and this soul was quite intelligent in his previous life. Even without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it was still four or five times stronger than a normal child, right? Besides, doesn't the body's growth process nourish the soul? In other words, Uchiha Kiyoshi's soul was already an adult, and it's perfectly reasonable that it grew along with his body.

Uh… I’ve digressed. Let’s get back to the main topic.

After sensing the two energies, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not rush to start merging them, but continued to sense the two energies and studied them as well.

According to what Uchiha Kiyoshi read in the book, there are actually differences in the quality of ninja chakra. The purer the chakra, the more powerful it is when used to activate ninjutsu.

Of course, as a ninja trains, their chakra will become more and more refined.

Based on his extensive knowledge and previous observations, Uchiha Kiyoshi surmised that the purer the body's energy is during chakra fusion, the purer the chakra will be.

This is not without reason. Spiritual energy is more conceptual, ethereal, and basically cannot be manipulated. Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi focused his attention on physical energy.

After all, that energy was clearly light green. Well… upon closer inspection… it was light green body energy. There was a feeling that the deeper the green, the purer the energy!

Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi was not in a hurry to merge, but wanted to study the physical energy and spiritual energy, uh, he focused on studying the physical energy.

Putting aside the fact that Uchiha Kiyoshi himself had some other plans, the fact that his chakra was purer was enough to make Uchiha Kiyoshi wait for a while.

Improving the purity of your body's energy is simply a matter of exercise. If your physical fitness improves, how can your energy not be of a higher quality?

Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi decisively abandoned the idea of ​​immediately fusing chakra.

If that's the case, what does Uchiha Kiyoshi do during his chakra training every morning? He can't just pretend, can he? That would be such a waste of time.

Of course, he was studying the body's energy. This was the only time Uchiha Kiyoshi could use for research, and since their outward appearances were all the same, Uchiha Kiyoshi wasn't afraid of being seen through by Uchiha Takashi.

Over the past week, Uchiha Takashi had already covered the basic theory of throwing techniques; all that was left was training. Therefore, the time spent training in kunai throwing was shortened. From now on, every morning, out of five hours, three hours would be used for chakra cultivation, and the remaining two hours would be for kunai throwing practice.

Three hours passed, and Uchiha Ryu was disappointed to see that no one had successfully extracted chakra, but he quickly recovered. This was normal; based on past experience, many ninjas actually only began to extract chakra in the last week of the month. That is, a little over two months.

Uchiha Ryū woke everyone up and began training in kunai throwing.

After that came Shin Uchiha's training.

Thus, Uchiha Kiyoshi postponed the time for fusing his own chakra by two weeks.

Two weeks is enough time for Uchiha Kiyoshi to study the body's energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi not only figured out the general nature of the body's energy, but also confirmed his previous guesses.

As his physical fitness improved, the quality of his body energy did indeed improve as well. At least now, Uchiha Kiyoshi can proudly say that his body energy is light green at a glance!

Since everything that needed to be researched had already been researched, and the quality of chakra could be improved later, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't delay any longer and directly began to fuse chakra.

The chakra extraction methods taught by the ninja clans are largely similar. The reason they are so efficient is not only because they have specialists to guide them, but also because, even though the proportions required by each person are different, the ninja clans have still researched and figured out a general range for the fusion ratio of physical energy and spiritual energy. We don’t know if it’s accurate for others, but at least it’s the same for their own clansmen.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was hoping for some advanced method, but this is what happened?

That makes sense. If there were some special method, the number of ninjas wouldn't be so small, and the village leadership wouldn't prohibit ninja academies from teaching them. Otherwise, the gap between commoner ninjas and clan ninjas would be too great. The only difference can only be these subtle differences.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi was not unprepared. Otherwise, since the fusion had already been delayed for two weeks, what if it took another two weeks? Wouldn't he really become a stupid and useless person?

Despite having received higher education, Uchiha Kiyoshi possessed a great deal of advanced scientific knowledge.

Have you heard of the controlled variable method?

Based on his senses, Uchiha Kiyoshi roughly controlled the amount of mental energy he used each time, and then gradually increased the amount of physical energy, increasing the proportion of physical energy.

In just two hours, Uchiha Kiyoshi successfully fused his own chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi felt a blue energy emanating from his lower abdomen; he knew that it was chakra.

Uchiha Takashi also noticed Uchiha Kiyoshi's situation, nodded, and continued to pay attention to the others.

Five people had already successfully extracted chakra, and Uchiha Kiyoshi's success was achieved within the normal "average" timeframe, which did not excite Uchiha Ryuta.

Feeling the chakra within his body, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt a sense of relief.

"Is this chakra? Although the amount is still small, I believe that one day I will be able to possess great strength with chakra."

Chapter Six: Physical Combat

After refining the chakra, Uchiha Kiyoshi calmed himself down and then continued refining the chakra.

When refining chakra for the first time, Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to know roughly what his limits were so that he could control it in the future.

Chakra is formed by the fusion of physical and spiritual energy. It only strengthens the body and does not provide any feedback or benefit.

In other words, body cells have to work, but they don't get paid!

terrible!

Therefore, compared to other cultivation systems, the path of chakra does not increase lifespan; on the contrary, it reduces lifespan.

Don't be fooled by the fact that those ninjas who didn't die in battle had lifespans similar to normal people; there were actually differences.

Although ninjas' lifespans are shortened, their constant training prevents them from being affected by disease. Ordinary people, on the other hand, are physically weak and prone to illness, and are likely to die prematurely before their normal lifespan.

In summary, chakra can bring great power, but it can also damage the body; it is a double-edged sword.

Although, in such a world, the most important thing is the result.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi came to a world where he could cultivate, so he naturally wanted to achieve immortality. Therefore, he tried to refine as little chakra as possible, since he couldn't always refine it to the limit.

Over the past four years, he had considered various solutions, but now that he had just extracted chakra, Uchiha Kiyoshi had no time to implement his ideas.

Uchiha Kiyoshi focused all his energy on refining his chakra, and only when he heard a warning message from his body did he realize that he had reached his limit.

The chakra in his lower abdomen, noticeably thicker than a hair, was more than double the average level in the clan, as Uchiha Takashi had mentioned! This made Uchiha Kiyoshi realize that he had a good talent for chakra.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, Uchiha Kiyoshi sighed inwardly. It's a pity he can't push himself to the limit anymore.

"But it's good, from now on I can refine half the amount each time, and also hide my talent."

Uchiha Kiyoshi could only console himself with this thought.
