Capítulo 2: Going To School
"Continue."
Pulling back his thoughts, Seimei no longer overthought and raised his hand to continue familiarizing himself with the Clone Technique.
However, as soon as he formed the hand seals, he realized that the chakra within him was completely depleted, insufficient to perform the technique again.
Opening the panel to take a glance, he found, as expected, that his chakra was at its limit.
Reflecting on the memories in his mind, Seimei sat cross-legged, sinking his consciousness into his body to extract the physical energy generated by his cells.
Then, he blended that with his mental energy evenly, and after a transformation, it became chakra, merging into the chakra pathways that spread throughout his body.
As this process progressed, the chakra within him gradually became replenished.
······
An hour later.
Seimei opened his eyes.
"Panel!"
With a thought, he opened the proficiency panel.
[Name: Uchiha Seimei
Age: 10 years
Physique: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 2→52 (125→126)
Bloodline: Sharingan · Unawakened (51/100)
Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (1/100)
Clone Technique: lv0 (6/100)]
Just like with the "Clone Technique," after he personally refined chakra once, a new skill called "Chakra Refinement Technique" appeared on the panel.
The lv0 Chakra Refinement Technique, when operated for an hour, can increase his chakra limit by one point and restore fifty points of chakra.
At the same time, the proficiency will also increase by one point.
It can be expected that as its level rises, the effects will undoubtedly improve significantly.
Now, his growth rate might not match that of some geniuses, but that could change in the future.
With that thought, Seimei stopped wasting time, focused once again, and began to refine chakra with closed eyes.
······
Time passed minute by minute.
Before long, another hour had passed.
Seimei opened his eyes, sensing the chakra within him; it was nearing its limit, so he stopped refining.
Of course, he couldn't continue refining.
After all, chakra doesn't appear out of nowhere; the refining process consumes his physical energy and mental energy.
Previously, merging with the memories of his former self had already consumed a lot of his mental energy, and then he had to strategize and explore the panel's functions, leaving him mentally exhausted.
Continuing further would not only risk harming his foundation but would at least lead to inefficiency.
Given that, it was better to take a break.
'However, the chakra in my body can't go to waste.'
With this in mind, Seimei steeled himself, recalled the memories in his mind, and began to form seals again, trying to perform the Clone Technique.
A few minutes later, chakra was depleted, and Seimei had attempted the Clone Technique five times in total.
As expected, all attempts failed.
Thinking about it, even regular students at the ninja academy need years to master the technique; for an outsider to think they could succeed after just a few tries was wishful thinking.
Even with the enhancement of his former self's memories, he couldn't do it.
However, from the proficiency panel, he saw that he was only one-fifth away from success.
At this point, what limited his progress was only the amount of chakra.
But this was difficult to improve in a short time; he wasn't a genius, after all, and at such a young age, having that much chakra was unrealistic.
For now, he could only develop step by step.
Looking up at the bright moon outside, Seimei stopped overthinking. After a quick wash, he returned to his bedroom.
Soon, the room was filled with soft snores.
Outside the window.
At an unknown time, a figure appeared.
The crimson eyes were especially bright in the night, unmistakably belonging to an Uchiha ninja who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.
He stared at Seimei for a moment before silently disappearing.
······
The next day.
Morning.
Seimei woke from his sleep; the first thing he did was open the panel.
[Name: Uchiha Seimei
Age: 10 years
Physique: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 37 (127)
Bloodline: Sharingan · Unawakened (51/100)
Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv0 (2/100)
Clone Technique: lv0 (19/100)]
Confirming that everything was not an illusion, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, he focused on the 'Chakra'.
He could see that, after a night of rest, even without specifically refining chakra, over thirty points had automatically restored within him.
However, Seimei did not immediately expend it; he still had to go to school today. If the need arose, it would be troublesome.
In fact, he had considered whether to take a few days off to manifest the legacy left by his former self first, but that might attract more attention.
Thus, it was better to go to school!
At that time, even if he exposed some flaws, he could explain it away with unexpected changes.
If he stayed home and someone came to inquire, that would be even harder to handle.
After weighing it all, Seimei decided to continue going to school. As long as he kept a low profile, there shouldn't be too many problems.
With the decision made, Seimei wasted no more time, quickly tidying up, eating a little to fill his stomach, and then promptly headed to the ninja academy.
At this time, the Uchiha clan had not yet been forced to move to the outskirts of the village and still resided in the central area, not far from the ninja school.
Thus, Seimei soon arrived at the school.
According to his memories, he found his classroom. Along the way, some people greeted him, and he merely nodded in response.
Fortunately, his former self was aloof like many Uchiha ninjas, or else he would have had difficulty blending in.
Dingling~
About ten minutes later, the class bell rang.
A ninja in his twenties entered the classroom. This was their homeroom teacher and instructor, named Sugimori Ikko.
From his former self's memories, he knew that, like most teachers in the school, Sugimori treated different students without any obvious distinction.
Therefore, Seimei did not need to worry about his surname drawing trouble.
As he thought this, Seimei noticed Sugimori glance in his direction, causing his heart to race.
Fortunately, Sugimori didn't look for long and quickly began the class.
At the podium, Seimei didn't absorb anything Sugimori said; he was only thinking about why Sugimori had looked at him.
He was certain that Sugimori hadn't simply glanced over but had been observing him intently.
'Could it be he noticed something?'
Seimei felt anxious.
Dingling~
Suddenly, the class bell rang.
Seimei was jolted awake, realizing that an entire class period had passed without him noticing.
Sugimori looked at Seimei, who seemed distracted, shook his head without saying much, called out "Class dismissed," and left the classroom.
As Seimei's teacher, he naturally knew about the news of his parents' deaths.
Or rather, he received news about every student in the class who had lost family members. This information was conveyed to them by the higher-ups in Konoha.
The purpose, of course, was to guide the students promptly to avoid extreme situations.
Originally, he had intended to counsel Uchiha Seimei today.
But last night, a Uchiha ninja had already contacted him in advance, telling him not to intervene, which is why he didn't.
The Uchiha clan had this approach for a simple reason: they wanted to see if Seimei could awaken the Sharingan.
To the Uchiha upper echelons, a mediocre clan member being rendered useless wasn't significant; if he could awaken a pair of Sharingan, it would be a huge win.
That's why they instructed Sugimori not to interfere.
In the future, Iruka might resist pressure and guide Seimei, but Sugimori was different; he didn't have that much sense of responsibility, so he just went along with it.
And all of this was unknown to Seimei, who was still feeling guilty about Sugimori's particular attention.
However, after some thought, he roughly guessed that Sugimori likely held no ill will toward him.
He probably just paid a bit more attention after learning about the death of his parents.
"Phew—"
Having thought this through, Seimei finally felt a sense of relief.
