Chapter 4: Throwing Ninja Tools
That night.

inside the room.

Qing Ming finished refining the chakra once again, and his eyes were full of fatigue when he opened them.

Despite this, he still forced himself to cheer up and used the chakra he had just recovered to perform the clone jutsu, one of the three body jutsu.

Unlike before, his movements were now obviously much more skillful, and the time for forming seals could be maintained within five seconds.

This is the school's assessment criteria.

But this does not mean that he has learned this technique.

There is no other reason. If it were just about making seals, he could easily meet this requirement.

But this is of no use.

When performing ninjutsu, the most important thing is not the hand seals, but the simultaneous mobilization and transformation of chakra in the process.

The seal itself is to assist and guide this change.

If the ninja is skilled enough, he can simplify the process and reduce the number of seals to be made, or make seals with one hand.

Of course, these have little to do with Qingming for the time being.

Up to now, he hasn't even mastered the art of clone.

Don't think about running before you learn to walk.

bang~
A cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, and a distorted figure appeared on the side, looking somewhat similar to Qingming.

Qing Ming glanced at the other person expressionlessly, and then cancelled the clone technique.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Qingming mobilized chakra again and began to form seals.

Five seconds later, another cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, and a shadow resembling Qingming appeared again, still so distorted.

In this way, Qing Ming performed the clone technique five times in succession, and only stopped practicing after he had used up all the chakra in his body.

Taking a deep breath, Qing Ming summoned the panel.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10 years old

Constitution: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 11 (131)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (51/100)

Skills: Chakra Refining: lv0 (8/100)

Clone Technique: Level 0 (46/100)

Basic physical skills: lv0 (35/100)]

Tonight, he refined chakra for four hours, and the upper limit of chakra in his body increased by 4 points, from 127 to 131.

During this period, he recovered a total of two hundred chakra points.

Each time the clone technique is performed, about twenty points of chakra are consumed.

Tonight, he practiced the art of clones ten times.

Thanks to the memories and experience left by his predecessor, he would gain two to three points of proficiency every time he performed the clone technique.

Just like tonight, he gained twenty-seven points of proficiency.

So, adding the previous nineteen points, there are forty-six points in total, which means we are already halfway to getting started.

In addition, his 'Chakra Refining Technique' also benefited from his predecessor's gift, increasing his proficiency by two points more than previously expected, for a total increase of six points.

In this way, as long as he persists for four hours a day, he will be able to master it in about half a month.

By then, the effect will definitely increase, and his embarrassing situation of lack of chakra will be alleviated.

After that, the improvement speed of each skill will also increase accordingly.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine that as time goes by, the speed at which his strength improves will inevitably become faster and faster.

As for now
Let’s take it slow!

Perhaps he could squeeze his body, practice a few more hours every day, and learn the 'Chakra Refining Technique' in advance, thus speeding up his progress.

But what's the use of that?
If his guess is true, he will graduate soon. In such a short time, to what extent can he improve his strength?
Genin? Chunin? It can't be Jonin!

Moreover, even if he is a Jonin, how much of a role can he play in a battle that is sweeping the entire ninja world?
I'm afraid it's difficult to change a local battle.

Why would he do such a thankless task?

What's more, he is still an outsider. If he rashly improves his strength, he will only put himself under the spotlight, and then he might be caught. In this case, it is better to follow the rules!

Shaking his head, Qing Ming didn't think any more about it. He turned and walked out of the room, returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

······
The next day.

in the afternoon.

It’s still the same playground.

However, today Sugimu Ichiteng did not let them fight each other, but asked them to practice throwing kunai and shuriken.

Just like fighting, these two skills are also the main means of combat for Genin. Add in the Three Body Technique, and a qualified battlefield cannon fodder is formed.

As for other ninjutsu?

forget it!
Take Uchiha Qingming as an example. His qualifications are indeed ordinary, but that is compared with his classmates who are from ninja clans. If he is placed among civilians, his qualifications are already considered good.

If he hadn't traveled through time, the other party wouldn't have had much chakra in his body after graduation, enough to perform the Three Body Technique a few times at most.

If he is like this, you can imagine what those ordinary students are like.

In this case, learning other ninjutsu is a complete waste of time.

So, it’s not that schools are unwilling to teach more, but that there is no need.

Most students with potential have family inheritance and do not need to be taught in school. Students without inheritance but with potential will be assigned to some strong senior ninjas to be taught by them.

In this way, schools naturally don't need to teach more.

Moreover, this group of people will most likely graduate early, and their ability will definitely be worse than in previous years, so there is even less need to teach them.

thump~
A kunai flew out and hit the target five meters away.

Seeing this, Qing Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

If he didn't hit the target again, he really didn't know what to do.

Ever since he started practicing, Sugimu Yiten has been looking at him frequently, and the same was true when he fought with Moriki Zhe yesterday.

Qingming knew that his performance in the past two days was quite different from that in the past, and he had already thought of an excuse to fool people.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even ask a question, as if he didn't care about him as a student at all.

This made Qingming not know whether to be happy or sad.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qing Ming opened the proficiency panel.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10 years old

Constitution: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 44 (131)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (51/100)

Skills: Chakra Refining: lv0 (8/100)

Clone Technique: Level 0 (46/100)

Basic physical skills: lv0 (35/100)

Ninja Tool Throwing: Level 0 (1/100)]

As expected, as the kunai hit the target, a new skill appeared on his panel - Ninja Tool Throwing: lv0 (1/100)!
Following the feeling just now, Qingming threw another kunai.

There was a thud, and the kunwu narrowly hit the target.

Then, on the panel, the proficiency of 'Ninja Tool Throwing' changed to level 0 (2/100)!
Looking at the newly gained proficiency, Qing Ming's eyes lit up. If he guessed correctly, this skill might become his first entry-level skill.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Practicing 'Ninja Tool Throwing' does not require the consumption of chakra. As long as he has not reached the level of his predecessor, he can quickly accumulate proficiency and get started.

just
Qingming glanced at the cedar tree in the distance and thought to himself, "Will the other party notice anything?"

Thinking of this, Qing Ming picked up the kunai and shuriken he had thrown, came to the ten-meter target, and began to practice seriously.

Even with the experience he had just had, he still missed the target several times.

This undoubtedly slowed down his time to gain proficiency, but it was worth it.

There was no other reason. When his predecessor practiced at the ten-meter target, he would miss the target from time to time. Although he missed the target more often now, it was not as obvious as with the five-meter target.

As long as he is given a little time, he will be able to improve his proficiency, and then he won't have to worry about being exposed.
