Kapitel 6: Chapter 6: Progress
Creak~
The door closed again. The sadness on Qingming's face vanished instantly. Although he had merged with the memories of his previous life, he didn't feel much affection for the 'parents' he had never met. However, in light of the condolence money, he decided to visit their graves every year to lay a bouquet of flowers. Of course, that was only if he could stay alive. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter what he said.
He opened the envelope and counted the contents—there was a total of one million and one hundred thousand ryo.
"Not bad, no one embezzled!" Qingming remarked.
Both of his previous parents were Chūnin, and after they died in battle, the condolence money was fifty thousand ryo each. Thus, together with the ten thousand ryo provided by the clan for living expenses, that made a total of one million and one hundred thousand ryo—exactly right, not a single ryo more or less. However, thinking about it, if they embezzled even this amount, what cohesion would the clan have? Moreover, while one million ryo seemed like a lot, it really wasn't.
In Konoha, the rewards for D-rank missions range from five thousand to fifty thousand ryo, C-rank missions from thirty thousand to one hundred thousand ryo, B-rank missions from eighty thousand to two hundred thousand ryo, A-rank missions can go up to one million ryo, and S-rank missions start from one million ryo and above.
Chūnin can take on C and B-rank missions, while Jōnin can take on B and A-rank missions. Although the village takes a cut and teammates split the rewards, earning one million ryo isn't too difficult.
As for the ten thousand ryo living expense—a bowl of ramen costs sixty ryo. If he ate ramen three times a day, it would total five thousand four hundred ryo a month. And that's just for "food." For ninjas, the major expense comes from training. Therefore, ten thousand ryo is only enough for Qingming to survive, but investing in training would be a pipe dream.
For over a week, he had been training under these circumstances. Now, things were different. With this one million ryo, he could definitely purchase some elixirs to aid his training.
Thinking this, Qingming stepped out of the house and headed straight to the pharmacy run by the Nara clan. In Konoha, the Nara clan is the most accomplished in medicine, and their products are synonymous with quality.
However, after browsing for a while, Qingming found that the most useful item for him was actually the military rations pill. Yes, the kind that could replace a meal with just one pill. It could replenish the body's various nutrients and is typically used as rations by ninjas on missions. Some special military rations pills can even temporarily enhance a ninja's chakra. However, Qingming didn't need those kinds of pills; he only needed those that could serve as food. This way, he could extend the training time for his "Chakra Refinement Technique" and then use the extra chakra to practice the "Three Body Technique," ultimately creating a synergistic effect while increasing his proficiency in multiple skills.
Once he made up his mind, Qingming took out his money and, under the strange gaze of the clerk, bought a large quantity of military rations pills all at once. As for other materials, buying them might attract the village's attention. To be on the safe side, Qingming planned not to go out for meals for a while. This way, others would just think he was diligently training and eating military rations pills instead.
Back at home, Qingming opened his status panel.
A familiar light blue screen appeared in his field of vision:
[Name: Uchiha Qingming
Age: 10 years
Physique: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 17 (131→159)
Bloodline: Sharingan - Not Awakened (51/100)
Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (8/100) → lv0 (53/100)
Shadow Clone Technique: lv0 (46/100) → lv1 (2/200)
Transformation Technique: lv0 (77/100)
Substitution Technique: lv0 (71/100)
Basic Taijutsu: lv0 (35/100) → lv1 (16/200)
Ninja Tool Throwing: lv1 (29/200) → lv2 (10/500)]
In the past week, he had been consistently practicing the "Chakra Refinement Technique" for four hours every night. Most of the time, he could only gain six points in proficiency, but occasionally he would earn a bit more. Over the course of seven days, he accumulated a total of forty-five points in proficiency.
This allowed his "Chakra Refinement Technique" to rise from lv0 (8/100) to lv0 (53/100), and the progress was already over half. During this time, his chakra capacity increased by 28 points, from 131 to 159. Although this wasn't much, at least he could see hope.
Qingming believed that as long as he persisted, he would eventually become 'Chakra Tons'!
Additionally, the two hundred points of chakra he recovered daily from practicing the "Chakra Refinement Technique" were entirely spent on training ninjutsu. In the first few days, he focused on leveling up the "Shadow Clone Technique" to lv1, successfully mastering it, allowing him to create one illusory shadow.
After that, just as planned, he managed to fool his way through the weekly assessment. However, once the "Shadow Clone Technique" reached lv1, it encountered the same problem as "Ninja Tool Throwing"—he could only gain a little proficiency with each practice session.
Qingming knew that this was the limit of his previous life's skills; he would have to rely on himself moving forward. Thus, he shifted his focus to practicing the "Transformation Technique" and the "Substitution Technique."
Thanks to the experiences and memories left by his previous life, the speed at which he trained these two ninjutsu was comparable to the "Shadow Clone Technique" before he mastered it. Almost every time he practiced, he could gain two to three points in proficiency.
In five days, he raised the proficiency of the "Transformation Technique" and the "Substitution Technique" to lv0 (77/100) and lv0 (71/100), respectively! At this rate, it wouldn't take two or three days for him to master these two skills. By then, the legacy of his previous life would have almost been exhausted.
As for "Basic Taijutsu," over the past week, Yagumai Tengen had organized three more sparring matches. Taking advantage of this, his "Basic Taijutsu" successfully reached the beginner stage and even climbed to lv1 (16/200), but that was as far as it went.
After this, he would need to practice diligently.
Lastly, regarding "Ninja Tool Throwing," its progress remained the fastest and had now reached lv2 (10/500)! At this stage, he could hit the bullseye 100% of the time within ten meters of a fixed target. His skill level was already on par with some Chūnin who had graduated two to three years ago.
However, "Ninja Tool Throwing" ultimately had its limitations. Qingming estimated that if he couldn't awaken the Sharingan, he could at most raise its proficiency to lv3. After all, the practice now required him to hit a target fifteen meters away to gain proficiency, and missing would result in no progress.
He could imagine that once he maxed out the skill, his proficiency would be no worse than that of an average mid-level Chūnin. Unless aided by the Sharingan to utilize ninja tools to their full potential, otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to use this method to kill someone without ambushing, surrounding them, or picking on those much weaker than himself.
But the Sharingan...
Qingming glanced at the panel showing (51/100) progress and fell into silence.
For over a week, he had also considered ways to increase the awakening progress of the Sharingan, but after trying several methods, he saw no results. The progress seemed stuck, unable to move.
However, Qingming did not give up. Since the panel could display this, it indicated that the progress could be pushed forward; he just hadn't found the right method yet.
