Naruto proficiency chapter 18

Chapter 18 After Half a month


"Kenji, what are you doing?"

Just when Kenji was wondering whether he could reach lv1 in 'Chakra Control' before finishing today's task, Ryosuke's voice suddenly came from the side.

Kenji saw him staring at his feet and heard him saying with shock: "Why can you stand in the water?"

When Kenji heard this, he lowered his head and took a look. It turned out that the water quality here was better, and he could clearly see his feet suspended in the water.

In this regard, Kenji did not hide it and told him that he was practicing chakra control.

"Is it really useful?"

After listening to Kenji's narration, Ryosuke said doubtfully.

Without waiting for Kenji to explain, Furukawa said: "Of course it is useful, and it is very useful."

As he spoke, he had already walked over from a distance.

"Sensei!"×3

When Kenji and the others saw him, they all greeted him.

"Um."

Furukawa nodded, glanced at the soles of Kenji's feet, and then continued: "if you practice this skill well, It will allow you to save chakra when learning and releasing ninjutsu, and it will also allow you to maintain your chakra in battle so you can last longer.”

"Then can we also learn this?"

Ryosuke asked hopefully.

Hearing this, Furukawa thought for a while and then said: "Originally, I didn't plan to teach you this so early, but since Kenji has already started practicing, you should follow suit."

In fact, he had noticed Kenji's little moves a long time ago. The reason why he didn't say anything was just to see how far Kenji could go without any guidance.

Facts have proved that even if Kenji is not a top genius, he is still better than most people.

Being able to increase chakra control to this level in just a few hours is simply not something that ordinary people can do.

What's more, he hasn't been exercising in the best way, which is to first climb a tree and then tread water.

If he had guided him from the beginning, his progress would have been much faster.

But this is just Furukawa's own opinion.

For Kenji, there is no need to practice step by step.

With the proficiency panel, he only needs to follow the standard procedure, gather chakra on the soles of his feet, and maintain it for a period of time to gain a little proficiency.

And as he accumulates proficiency, his control over chakra will rapidly improve.

In this case, there is no need to start by climbing trees, because that will not significantly increase the speed at which he accumulates proficiency.

"Sensei, do we also need to start treading water training?"

Ryosuke shouted excitedly from the side.

"No."

Furukawa directly denied it.

"Why?"

Ryosuke asked in confusion: "Isn't this how Kenji practices?"

'That's because he is more talented than you guys. '

Furukawa wanted to say this, but he couldn't because it would dampen the students' enthusiasm.

So, he said tactfully: "Everyone's situation is different. Kenji can start by treading water, but you can't."

"Then how are we going to practice?"

Ryosuke asked.

"Climb a tree."

Furukawa replied.

"Climb a tree?"×2

Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko spoke at the same time.

"That's right."

Furukawa nodded and said to Kenji:"Kenji, you can practice by yourself here first."

"Um."

Kenji responded, indicating that he understood.

"You guys come with me."

Furukawa called Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko, and then the three of them walked towards the woods not far away.

After that it was a 'familiar' process - gather chakra, sprint, climb the tree, fall down, sprint again, climb again, fall again.

Perhaps because they had Kenji as a role model in front of them, both Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko practiced extra hard.

Although Ryosuke is usually careless and doesn't seem to care about anything, he is actually very strong.

Although he said nothing on the surface about Furukawa's different treatment, he secretly wanted to prove himself, so he practiced extremely seriously.

Not only him, but also Mizutani Shizuko, who has a soft character on the outside and strong character on the inside.

Although she often remains silent and doesn't seem to have many opinions, she will still spare no effort to complete the things she was determined to do.

It can be said that Kenji and his two companions are not mediocre people.

However, if he thinks about it, if they didn't have some advantages, how could they be assigned to a group with him and be taught by a real jounin.

However, Kenji had never even heard of these two people in his previous life, maybe they most likely died in the Third Ninja War or subsequent missions.

From this, he can also see the cruelty of the ninja war and the danger of the ninja profession.

Every time he thought of this, Kenji did not dare to relax at all, and could only seize all the time to improve himself so that he could make plans for the future.

······

Time Passed.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

It's early November.

Uchiha clan land.

Kenji's home.

Late at night, Kenji completed the last round of practice and opened the panel with exhaustion.

[Name: Uchiha Kenji

Age: 10 years old

Physical Strength: 6

Spiritual Strength: 7

Chakra: 16 / 910→1546

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (58/100) → (71/100)

Skill: Chakra Refining Jutsu: lv2 (81/500) → lv2 (240/500)

Clone Jutsu: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (140/500)

Transformation Jutsu: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (130/500)

Substitution Jutsu: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (110/500)

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu: lv1 (1/200) → lv1 (16/200)

Heart-Reflecting Jutsu: lv1 (77/200) → lv2 (1/500)

Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (1/500) → lv2 (150/500)

Shurikenjutsu: lv2 (120/500) → lv2 (260/500)

Chakra control: lv0 (61/100) → lv2 (350/500)]

In the past half month, everything has been going on in an orderly manner.

During the day, he followed the team to perform some non-technical tasks, and at night he took the time to practice alone.

Initially, the mission did affect his training.

But as 'Chakra Control' continues to advance, the impact becomes smaller and smaller.

The increase from lv0 to lv1 reduced the chakra required for him to release ninjutsu by 5%.

Level 1 rises to level 2, which becomes 10%.

Now, the proficiency has been increased to lv2 (350/500), and the chakra saved has reached 13.5%.

In other words, when he performed the same ninjutsu now, he could save nearly 15% of chakra compared to the original one.

Obviously, this is not a small amount.

Plus the occasional extra training when he is not performing the tasks.

In the end, he was able to upgrade the 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu' to level 2 a day or two later than he planned.

As expected, the awakening progress of his Sharingan increased by thirteen points, from (58/100) to (71/100).

The only pity is that after the 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu' was upgraded to level 2, the minimum chakra consumption when performing it did not decrease, but the speed of seal formation was much faster.

However, this had no effect on him.

Fortunately, with the upgrade of the 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu', the Sharingan awakening progress that had slowed down before has returned to its original speed.

In a short period of time, he can still maintain the proficiency of ten 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu’ and boost the awakening progress of a Sharingan.

Now let's see how long this speed can be maintained.

As for clearing the level in one go?

Kenji has never thought about this.

If it was that simple, someone in the Uchiha clan would have already used this Jutsu to awaken the Sharingan.

Kenji estimated that he would have to master the 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu' to at least level 3 before he could succeed.

But this is not difficult for him.

In addition, in addition to the 'Heart-Reflecting Jutsu' and Sharingan Awakening, several of his other skills have also improved in the past half month.

This is mainly due to Furukawa's training.

Unfortunately, due to the amount of chakra input, his growth rate is average.

Skills such as Three Body Jutsu, 'Basic Taijutsu' and 'Shurikenjutsu', which do not consume much chakra, have all increased their proficiency by more than a hundred points.

'Chakra Control', because it can be practiced anytime and anywhere, directly jumped two levels, reaching Lv2 (350/500) from Lv0.

This is already the highest level among all his skills.

On the other hand, the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu', because each release consumes at least one hundred points of chakra, Kenji hardly practiced it, so he only gained a dozen points of proficiency.

In addition, there is another biggest change, that is, his chakra upper limit has been increased from 910 points to 1546 points.

This is almost the average level among civilian chunin.

It can only be said that the gap between people is sometimes greater than that between humans and dogs.

It is said that Kakashi has less chakra, but when the sharingan was constantly consuming his chakra, Kakashi could still use Raikiri and Kamui several times.

These are all S-level ninjutsu and pupil techniques.

That's not counting the B-level ninjutsu such as Earth Style: Mud Wall, level-A Lightning Style: Shadow Clone Jutsu that were used during the battle.

If all were taken into account, according to the calculation method on the panel, the amount of chakra would probably be over 10,000 points.

Therefore, the lack of Chakra is only relative.

The chakra of many jounin may not reach Kakashi's level.

Therefore, Kenji still has a lot of room for improvement.
