Chapter 7 News
Retracting his gaze and closing the panel, Qing Ming took out a military pill and put it into his mouth.

Click~
Use a little force with your teeth to crush it.

Immediately, a bitter taste burst out, causing Qingming's eyes to twitch.

"No wonder no one likes to eat this, the taste is so good"

Qing Ming shook his head, suppressed the discomfort, and swallowed the crumbs in his mouth.

Soon, a warm current emerged from the stomach and quickly spread to the limbs and bones.

Qing Ming did not waste any time. He immediately sat cross-legged, concentrated his mind, and began to refine chakra.

More than two hours later, the chakra was restored to its full state. Qingming stopped the 'chakra refining technique' and began to practice the 'transformation technique' and 'substitution technique'.

Among them, the "transformation technique" is easy to do. You only need to mobilize chakra step by step and change your own appearance to gain proficiency.

But the "Substitute Technique" doesn't work. To practice this technique, you need to prepare auxiliary props in advance, such as a wooden board for the substitute.

The so-called substitution technique does not involve spatial transformation, it is more like a sleight of hand.

That is, at the moment of attack, quickly replace the body with a substitute prepared in advance, causing the opponent to misjudge.

At this point, the caster can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack or escape.

Therefore, this technique really tests the ninja's grasp of timing. If used well, it will be a magical skill, but if used poorly it will even reveal more flaws.

However, no matter how proficiently one uses substitution techniques, there are still limits to it.

As long as there is a substitution process, flaws will inevitably be revealed.

This flaw may not be a big deal in the battle between Genin and Chunin, but at the Jonin level, basically everyone can seize such an opportunity.

Therefore, in battles between jonin, substitution techniques are rarely used to confuse the opponent.

However, this is a bit far for Qingming.

At this stage, the "substitution technique" is indeed a rare life-saving skill for him.

Therefore, even though it was very troublesome to practice, he did not feel impatient at all.

After more than ten minutes, the chakra was exhausted, Qingming swallowed another soldier pill and began to refine the chakra.

Two hours later, his chakra was almost recovered, and he would practice the 'transformation technique' and 'substitution technique' again.

Just like that, near midnight, Qingming finally completed his last round of training.

Compared with the past, today he practiced the 'Chakra Refining Technique' for two more hours, which increased his chakra limit by two points and his proficiency by three points.

At the same time, the extra 100 chakra points restored also increased his proficiency in the "transformation technique" and "substitution technique" by more than ten points.

Don't underestimate this change. As the saying goes, little by little, it adds up to a lot. If so much increases in one day, how much will there be in a month? What about in a year?

Well, a year is a bit far.
But Qingming is still worth looking forward to for a month.

If it weren't for the fact that refining chakra and practicing ninjutsu were extremely mentally taxing, and that eating too many Bingliang Pills would cause indigestion, Qingming would really want to work hard all night.

"Ha~~~"

After stretching, yawning, and washing up, Qingming returned to the bedroom.

Soon, a familiar snoring sound was heard.

Time passes minute by minute.

At a certain moment, a figure appeared on the electric pole outside the window, a pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingans staring at Qingming, as if observing something.

After a moment, the figure disappeared.

······
Deep in the Uchiha clan territory, the residence of the great elder.

dong dong dong~
There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!"

An old voice was heard in the room.

Uchiha Jito pushed the door open, looked at the old man behind the table, bowed and said, "Grand Elder!"

"Oh, it's Zhiren!"

The old man looked up at Uchiha Jito and said, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, these are the results of my observations regarding Qing Ming."

Uchiha Jito replied respectfully.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then he asked slowly: "How is it, have you awakened the Sharingan?" "No."

Uchiha Jito shook his head and said, "After observing for these few days, there has been no explosive growth in the chakra in his body, and his mental state is relatively stable. It can be basically confirmed that he does not have the qualifications to awaken the Sharingan."

"Is this so"

After hearing Uchiha Haruto's answer, even though he had expected it, the old man still felt a little disappointed.

Generally speaking, if a member of the clan has the qualifications to awaken the Sharingan, he or she can immediately awaken the Sharingan when receiving a stimulus similar to the death of their parents.

Even if you don't awaken immediately, there will be some changes in your body and mind, and then with a little stimulation, you will be able to awaken smoothly.

However, after learning the news of his parents' sacrifice, Qing Ming did not wake up immediately, and his body did not undergo corresponding changes for a period of time afterwards.

From this, it can be basically confirmed that he does not have the qualifications to awaken the Sharingan.

"Great Elder, do you want to continue observing?"

Seeing that the old man was slow to speak, Uchiha Jito spoke.

"no need."

The old man waved his hand and said, "You go down!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

With that, Uchiha Jito left the room.

Qingming didn't know that today was his last chance to be valued by the clan.

If he could awaken the Sharingan today under the stimulation of the pension, he wouldn't be able to rise to the top immediately, but his future path would definitely be much smoother.

Even getting a bodyguard at the Genin stage is not a problem.

That’s right, this is the Uchiha clan. Although they are difficult to deal with outsiders, they are quite united internally.

Well.
Except for a certain traitor!
However, Qingming did not awaken the Sharingan, so he was destined not to enjoy the treatment of a genius.

However, even if Qingming knew, he wouldn't care.

He has never relied on the Uchiha clan. With the proficiency panel, he will be able to grow up sooner or later.

······
Five days later.

School is about to end.

Bang bang bang~
Shanmu Yiteng clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Students, everyone come here!"

"Teacher, what's up? School is almost over!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"."

Hearing Shanmu Yiteng's call, more than thirty students crowded around him, talking to each other, and the scene was very lively.

Qingming stood on the outskirts of the crowd without saying a word. He could tell something was wrong on Shanmu Yiten's serious face.

Sure enough, what Sugimu Yiten said next confirmed his guess.

"quiet!"

Shanmu shouted loudly, and after everyone quieted down, he said, "The village has decided to change your annual assessment in half a month to a graduation assessment.

At that time, those who pass the assessment will be granted the status of Konoha Genin and become a true ninja. "

Although it was expected, when Qing Ming actually heard the news, he still felt a sense of urgency.

However, it was different from his solemnity.

Many students in the crowd shouted excitedly when they heard the news.

"Teacher Sugimu, is what you said true?"

"Yes, Sensei, can we really become ninjas ahead of time?"

"."

Hearing these somewhat naive words, Qing Ming shook his head and thought to himself: "These people are still too well protected. They have no idea how dangerous the profession of ninja is, especially in this period."

If possible, Qingming would like to stay in school for the rest of his life.

But this is not possible.

Now I just hope they won't be sent to the battlefield right after graduation, otherwise...
