Chapter 17 Chakra Control

Picking up the scroll on the ground, Qingming cancelled the transformation technique and changed back from Ryosuke's appearance to his own self.

That's right, the 'Qingming' and 'Ryosuke' just now were both fake.

In order to make Furukawa let down his guard, the two of them used transformation techniques to exchange identities before appearing.

Only in this way can you successfully snatch the scroll from Furukawa.

However, what Qingming did not expect was that Guchuan, who had been fighting wits and courage with them, was actually fake.

Just a shadow clone was enough to fool them around, which gave Qingming a clearer understanding of the strength of the Jonin.

Bang bang bang~
Just then, a burst of applause came from far away.

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Chuan leisurely walking out from the woods.

"Teacher Furukawa!" ×2
Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko, who had just recovered from their shock, saw the person coming and quickly greeted him.

Gu Chuan nodded to them, then looked at Qing Ming and said, "You didn't hesitate at all when you attacked just now. Aren't you afraid of hurting me?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming shook his head and replied: "Teacher Guchuan is a jonin. Such an attack cannot really hurt you. If we are not determined to kill you, there is no way we can take the scroll from you."

"Not bad!"

Furukawa nodded in satisfaction, then said to the other two: "You are not bad either!"

"Teacher, do you think we have passed the test?"

Ryosuke, who had recovered from his shock, asked anxiously.

"of course."

Hearing this, Furukawa smiled and replied, "Congratulations, you don't have to go back to school to retake the course."

"yeah!"

Ryosuke shouted excitedly when he heard that.

Shizuko Mizutani standing by also showed an excited expression.

Only Qingming still had that serious look on his face.

After everyone got over their excitement, Gu Chuan spoke again: "To celebrate the establishment of Class 17, the teacher will treat you to a barbecue."

Hearing this news, Ryosuke became even more excited.

Even Qingming's mouth curled up into a smile.

There was no other reason. He had almost vomited from eating so many Bingliang Pills over the past period of time.

Although he would occasionally improve his meals, they were never as delicious as barbecue, and he was reluctant to spend money on it before.

Now that I can have a meal openly, I am naturally very happy.

······
in the afternoon.

Uchiha clan.

Qingming returned home and recalled Guchuan's painful expression just now, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, these are trivial matters.

Having 'wasted' the entire morning, it's time to hurry up and complete today's practice plan.

At this stage, as the 'Chakra Refining Technique' cannot break through level 2, and his physical and mental attributes remain stable, the maximum amount of chakra he can use every day is 2400~2500 points.

Among them, he planned to use two thousand points on the practice of "The Art of Reflecting the Heart".

In this way, the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique' can gain ten points of proficiency every day, and his Sharingan awakening progress will also increase by one point.

In this way, within half a month, his Sharingan awakening progress will reach (70/100).

As for later.
That requires further planning.

Because by then, his 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' will be upgraded to level 2.

At that time, the chakra consumed for each cast may change, and the effect of promoting the awakening of the Sharingan will also change.

As a result, plans will naturally change.

just
"Gather in front of the Hokage building at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. We will officially start accepting missions."

Thinking of what Guchuan said when they just separated, Qingming couldn't help but frown.

Just as he thought, the village did not plan to send these newbies to the battlefield immediately, but they would not let them sit idle either.

In the next period of time, they will most likely have to perform tasks like previous students, such as finding cats and dogs, picking up trash, and taking care of children.

Although this was to familiarize them with the mission procedures and let them adapt to the life of a ninja, it was undoubtedly a waste of time.

If he wants to make the most of chakra, he must ensure more than ten hours of meditation every day to refine chakra.

Obviously, the two are contradictory.

It takes time to carry out tasks, and it also takes time to practice. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and apart from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and resting, there is not much time left.

So, he had to find a way to resolve this conflict.

After pondering for a long time, Qingming roughly thought of three ways.

One is to increase the speed of the body's self-recovery of chakra. This requires improving physical and mental attributes. There is no hope in the short term, so it can be temporarily abandoned.

The second is to increase the amount of chakra actively restored per unit time.

This requires raising the level of the 'Chakra Refining Technique', but upgrading the 'Chakra Refining Technique' from level 2 to level 3 requires five hundred points of proficiency.

Now, its proficiency level is less than seventy.

Even if one meditates to the maximum extent for twelve hours a day and increases proficiency by twelve points, it will still take more than a month.

There is no hope in the short term either.

So it can only be postponed temporarily.

Then, there is only the third option left.
······
The next day.

in the afternoon.

Led by Guchuan, Qingming and his two companions, each carrying a basket, picked up garbage from a river on the edge of the village.

During this time, Ryosuke complained from time to time.

Qingming waded through the river, moving forward carefully while bending down to pick up the garbage.

If you look closely, you can see that his feet are not touching the river bottom, and his whole body is just moving forward in the water.

A few minutes later.

Proficiency +1!

查克拉掌控：lv0（60/100）→lv0（61/100）！
That’s right, this is the third method Qingming thought of.

That is, improve the control of chakra to reduce the chakra required to practice ninjutsu.

For a ninja, the amount of chakra required to perform each ninjutsu is different. Mobilizing too much or too little chakra may cause the ninjutsu to fail.

Even if there is no failure, it may result in a waste of chakra.

Therefore, how to accurately control chakra is a problem that every ninja needs to consider.

After continuous exploration, the ninja world has formed a set of effective training methods, which are climbing trees and treading water.

For a ninja, it is most difficult to gather chakra on the soles of the feet, and the amount of chakra required to climb trees and tread water is very delicate.

If there is even the slightest mistake, there will be failure.

Therefore, as long as you practice these two items well, you can basically master your own chakra.

And this is what Qingming is doing.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qing Ming summoned the proficiency panel.

A familiar light blue screen appeared, filling his vision:

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10 years old

Constitution: 6
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 215 (862 → 910)

Bloodline: Sharingan: Unawakened (57/100) → (58/100)

技能：查克拉提炼术：lv2（69/500）→lv2（81/500）

Clone Technique: Level 2 (1/500)

Transformation: Level 2 (1/500)

Substitution Technique: Level 2 (1/500)

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique: Level 1 (1/200)

映心之术：lv1（65/200）→lv1（77/200）

Basic physical skills: lv2 (1/500)

Ninja Tool Throwing: Level 2 (120/500)

*Chakra Control: Level 0 (61/100)]

Practicing chakra control does not require consuming too much chakra, nor does it require setting aside separate time to practice.

So, Qingming quickly upgraded it to lv0 (61/100).

At this time, if he performs the same ninjutsu again, the chakra he consumes can be reduced by about 3%.

Even though it is only a small amount, it should not be underestimated when it accumulates over time.

What's more, with continuous practice, his 'chakra control' will gradually upgrade, and the effect will also increase.

With the same amount of chakra, if you can perform more ninjutsu, wouldn't that solve the problem of lack of time in disguise?

The only thing that might be affected is probably the proficiency in 'Chakra Refining Technique'.

However, his focus is not on this now, so it doesn't matter if he goes a little slower.
