Chapter 69: Training

"Seimei, are you sure you don't want to join the clan's combat team?"

In a tent, an Uchiha Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan looked at Seimei and asked.

"Yes."

Seimei nodded silently, with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

He had to play the role fully. Since in the eyes of others, his Sharingan awakened because he witnessed the death of his companions, he couldn't appear too calm.

Seeing Seimei's performance, the Uchiha Jonin sighed lightly and said, "Alright then!"

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his bosom and continued, "This scroll records some Sharingan usage techniques. Familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he tossed the scroll in his hand to Seimei.

That's right, this was what Seimei wanted, but it wasn't something he asked for from the clan. Instead, the clan took the initiative to give it to him after knowing that he had awakened the Sharingan.

Seimei admitted that he had underestimated the Uchiha clan's emphasis on the Sharingan.

He had just returned to the base camp for two days and hadn't had time to report the awakening of the Sharingan when the clan sent someone to verify it.

After confirming that he had indeed awakened the Sharingan, they sent this scroll the next day.

As for the previous mention of joining the clan's combat team, it was to protect these young seedlings who had just awakened the Sharingan.

Even though Seimei didn't have much sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan, he had to admit that the Uchiha clan was really good to its own people.

Whether it was the clan specifically providing living expenses after the "parents" of this body died in battle, or the current care after awakening the Sharingan, it fully reflected this point.

However, he had many secrets and didn't want to stay under the watchful eyes of many Sharingan, so he refused the clan's kindness. Otherwise, he might really be able to get through this war.

Suppressing these thoughts, Seimei reached out and caught the scroll thrown by the other party.

Before he could check it, the Uchiha Jonin in front of him took out another scroll and said, "I see you're good at swordsmanship. This is the swordsmanship passed down in our Uchiha clan."

Hearing this, Seimei's eyes lit up. He took the scroll, opened it, glanced at it, and murmured, "Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu."

"That's right, it's the swordsmanship unique to our Uchiha clan. When combined with the Sharingan, it can exert the strongest power."

The Uchiha Jonin said proudly.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Seimei thanked him sincerely.

"Hmm."

Hearing Seimei's thanks, the Uchiha Jonin nodded, and finally encouraged him, "Practice hard, and don't disgrace the name of our Uchiha clan."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

But just as he turned around, he seemed to remember something and turned back, saying, "Remember to prepare. In two months, the clan will arrange for you to participate in the Chunin Exams."

"Chunin Exams?"

Seimei was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Got it, Uncle."

"Hmm, just remember it."

After saying that, the Uchiha Jonin turned and left.

Looking at the disappearing figure, Seimei murmured, "So unconsciously, it's time for the bi-annual Chunin Exams again, but..."

Recalling his two teammates and the team leader, Seimei couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

"Only I am left in Team 17..."

Even Seimei couldn't help but feel a little lonely at this moment.

But soon, he dispelled this loneliness.

Now was not the time for sentimentality. Since he had gotten what he wanted, it was time for him to focus on training.

In the following time, Seimei divided the 5,500 chakra points he could use every day into five parts.

Among them, 3,400 points were used for practicing the 'Mind Reflection Technique', which could increase its proficiency by 20 points, thereby promoting the Sharingan's evolution by 4 points.

Another 900 points were allocated to maintain the Sharingan's activation for fifteen hours, which could increase his Sharingan's evolution by 3 points.

The remaining 1,200 points were divided into three parts, of which 1,000 points were used for practicing the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' and 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique'.

This could increase their proficiency by 6 points respectively.

As for the remaining 200 chakra points, he used them on skills that didn't consume much chakra, such as 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu', 'Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu', and 'Ninja Tool Throwing'.

In addition, he would ponder the usage techniques of the Sharingan whenever he had time.

In this way, except for the time spent on missions, the rest of the time, he was either training or on his way to training. Every day was fully arranged by him.

Seimei lived a very fulfilling life.

...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Seimei expected, Iwagakure Village reduced the frequency of their actions because their logistics base was destroyed.

Thanks to this, the missions Seimei performed were not very difficult.

Therefore, the training plan also progressed quite smoothly.

One night.

As usual, Seimei used the 'Mind Reflection Technique' on himself.

Once, twice, three times...

Until the eleventh time, a strange feeling surfaced in his heart, and Seimei's understanding of the 'Mind Reflection Technique' suddenly rose to a new level.

He knew that his 'Mind Reflection Technique' had broken through.

A while later, Seimei opened his eyes and muttered, "Panel!"

The next moment, the familiar light blue screen appeared.

[Name: Uchiha Seimei

Age: 11 years old

Physique: 8

Spirit: 9

Chakra: 2105 (6102 -> 6109)

Bloodline: Sharingan - Single Tomoe (317/1000) -> (715/1000)

Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv4 (50/2000) -> lv4 (415/2000)

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: lv2 (55/500)

Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: lv3 (226/1000) -> lv3 (612/1000)

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique: lv2 (25/500)

Body Flicker Technique: lv3 (305/1000) -> lv3 (460/1000)

Shadow Clone Technique: lv0 (5/100)

Healing Jutsu: lv1 (15/200) -> lv1 (60/200)

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique: lv2 (5/500) -> lv2 (371/500)

*Genjutsu: Sharingan: lv1 (150/200)

Mind Reflection Technique: lv4 (946/2000) -> Lv5 (1/5000)

Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: lv3 (615/1000) -> lv4 (315/2000)

*Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu: lv3 (510/1000)

Ninja Tool Throwing: lv4 (50/2000) -> lv4 (350/2000)

Chakra Control: lv3 (190/1000) -> lv3 (210/1000)

Three Body Techniques: lv3 (0/0)]

His gaze skipped over other columns, and Seimei looked at the 'Mind Reflection Technique'.

As expected, its level had increased from lv4 (946/2000) to Lv5 (1/5000)!

Of course, according to the original training plan, his 'Mind Reflection Technique' should have broken through about half a month ago.

But the exposure of the Sharingan made Seimei adjust the allocation of chakra and reduce the investment in the 'Mind Reflection Technique', which is why it took a full two months.

But the evolution speed of his Sharingan didn't slow down because of this, but instead increased a lot.

The reason was simple: after opening the Sharingan, he could use less chakra to gain more evolution points for the Sharingan.

This increase and decrease resulted in a positive overall effect.

Therefore, the evolution speed of his Sharingan was even faster than expected.

At this time, on the panel, the evolution progress of his Sharingan had already reached (715/1000), exceeding two-thirds.

Next, it depended on how effective the Lv5 'Mind Reflection Technique' was. If it was good enough, it wouldn't be long before his Sharingan could evolve to double tomoe.
