Chapter 74 Increase revenue and reduce expenditure

Time flies and it is the next morning.

Today is the first day of the new Chunin Exam, which is held at the Ninja School.

Therefore, all Ninja School members were given a holiday.

Today, besides the Genin who came to take the Chunin Exam, the only other people here were the Chuu-jounin who were in charge of supervising the exam.

Qing Ming looked at the gate of the Ninja School for the first time in a long time, yawned, and then walked into the school weakly.

He took out the exam notice, took a look at it, and then walked towards the target classroom.

Soon, he came to a spacious classroom.

There are a lot of people here. Although they are all Genin, their temperament is far from comparable to that of ninjas in peacetime.

Qingming arrived relatively late.

So, as soon as I entered the door, I immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Suddenly, the classroom fell silent.

These people first looked at his appearance, then their eyes passed over his Sharingan inconspicuously, and finally began to whisper to each other.

Even though these people looked away, Qingming could still feel that they were secretly watching him.

Qingming didn't care about this.

Qing Ming scanned the entire classroom and saw only a few empty seats in the back corner, so he walked straight over.

Here, Qingming had just sat down when a gentle voice came to his ear: "You are Qingming, right?"

Qingming turned his head and saw a child with a "dumpling nose" with a pair of magatama Sharingan, looking at him with a smile on his face.

If it’s not Uchiha Shisui, who else could it be?

Seeing Qingming looking over, Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Uchiha Shisui, you should be Qingming, right?"

Qing Ming's eyes swept across the other's Sharingan, nodded, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, it's me, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Qing Ming's cold look, Uchiha Shisui's smile faded slightly, but soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just getting to know each other."

"profound."

Qingming replied and then ignored the other party. Instead, he lay down on the table and began to catch up on his sleep.

At the same time, last night’s test results flashed through my mind.

What's the result?
It's a mixed bag!
The good news is that after activating the Sharingan, it still only takes five hours to accumulate some proficiency.

What worries me is that the effect of the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' has indeed weakened.

Before, every two points of proficiency could increase the Sharingan's evolution by one point, but now it has become three points, or five hundred and ten points of chakra.

In this way, taking into account the doubling of the chakra required to maintain the Sharingan, if one continues to accumulate thirteen points of proficiency every day as before, then a full five thousand seven hundred points of chakra will be required.

Although the improvement in basic attributes increased the maximum amount of chakra he could use per day from 5,500 points to 8,000 points.

But he couldn't spend 5,700 points to upgrade his Sharingan.

According to previous calculations, even if he accumulated thirteen points of proficiency every day, it would still take three hundred and eighty-five days for it to evolve.

During this period of time, the improvement rate of his other skills will inevitably slow down.

In other words, before the Sharingan evolves into three magatama, his strength will not be able to grow rapidly.

And this is something he can never accept.

After the Chunin Exam, he still has to go to the battlefield.

Once on the battlefield, the enemy will not wait for you to slowly improve your strength, so he must not slow down the pace of improving his strength.

But at the same time, he didn't want to slow down the evolution of the Sharingan.

In this case, the only option is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Let’s talk about saving first, which means using the least amount of chakra to do the most things.

To achieve this, Qingming could only think of upgrading the level of 'Chakra Control'. Currently, its level was lv3 (220/1000), which could save him 16% of chakra when performing ninjutsu and genjutsu.

When it is promoted to level 4, this number will become 20%.

Don't underestimate this 4%. The chakra saved at one time may not be much, but when accumulated over time, the saved chakra is not a small number.

Coincidentally, as his Sharingan evolved into double magatama, his control over chakra became more and more adept.

In this way, it won't be as difficult as before to improve the proficiency of 'Chakra Control'.

Of course, if you want to go further, it is best to follow the previous plan and find a way to steal a puppet secret technique from the Sand Ninja, and improve it by condensing and manipulating chakra threads.

Only in this way can the upper limit be higher.

"Perhaps after going to the battlefield this time, I can apply to be transferred to the defense line facing the Sand Ninja."

This thought flashed through his mind, but Qingming temporarily suppressed it and turned to consider the issue of "open source".

Compared with a single method of cost-cutting, there are more ways to increase revenue.

First of all, you can start from yourself and improve your basic attributes to increase the maximum amount of chakra you can use every day.

And it is not too difficult to do this.

Qing Ming had a hunch that after he integrated the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' and the 'Uchiha-style swordsmanship', the 'physique' attribute should be improved.

By then, the amount of chakra that can be mobilized every day will increase.

This starts from oneself.

Similarly, he can also use external objects to enhance the chakra he can use in disguise.

For example, the sword Samehada from the Hidden Mist Village.

It can absorb other people's chakra and then transmit it to the owner of the sword.

If he can get it, he can improve the proficiency of various skills by absorbing the enemy's chakra.

By then, the speed at which his strength improves will inevitably increase greatly.

Unfortunately, at this point in time, the sword Samehada is still in the hands of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, and the other party is an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, so Qingming cannot reach him at all.

Even if he came into contact with the other party, with his current strength, he would not be able to defeat the other party.

What's more, not everyone can use the big sword Samehada. The other party has life and will only recognize the person he likes.

Therefore, even if Qingming got it, he might not be able to use it.

Something similar to the Big Sword Samehada is the Infinite Hole Armor of the Artisan Village, which can also absorb external chakra and then feed back to the wearer.

But compared to the real sword Samehada, the Infinite Hole Armor is more difficult to obtain because the opponent has not been born yet?

So, Qingming could only think about it.

In addition to these ninja tools, some ninjutsu also have the ability to absorb chakra.

For example, Water Style: Great Samedan Jutsu, Earth Style: Earth Lock Barrier: Tsuchiyado no Mu, Shiki Kiss, Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu, etc., these ninjutsu can theoretically accelerate his development.

However, to practice these ninjutsu, one either needs special bloodline limits or the development of new chakra attributes, neither of which Qingming can accomplish now.

Moreover, most of these ninjutsu are difficult to acquire. Even if he wants to learn them, he doesn't have the opportunity.

But at the same time, this also indirectly shows that ninjutsu with this effect is actually not uncommon.

As an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Uchiha clan should have a similar collection.

'Perhaps, after this exam, I can try to find it.'

Thinking this in his mind, Qingming gradually fell into a deep sleep.

After a moment, Uchiha Shisui looked at Qingming who was snoring softly not far away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this fellow tribesman of his was really generous.

It's already this time, and I can still sleep.
