Chapter 10: Training Sprint

Speaking of 'Basic Taijutsu'...

In the past half month, perhaps to help his students survive longer in the upcoming war, Sugiki Kazuto had deliberately intensified their training in this area.

Thanks to this, his 'Basic Taijutsu' had improved from lv1 (65/200) to lv1 (185/200), already on the verge of leveling up.

Seimei planned to max it out tomorrow.

Besides 'Basic Taijutsu', his proficiency in the three basic techniques had also increased by seventy-five points each in the past half month, and their lv1 progress was about to reach halfway.

Seimei intended to raise them all to lv2 before the graduation exam.

This was also one of the reasons he had asked for leave.

If he were at school, his daily training time would be limited, and it would be impossible to level them all up within a week. Only by saving the time spent at school could he possibly achieve it.

Then there were the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' and 'Heart Reflection Technique'.

These two ninjutsu and genjutsu lived up to their C-rank and A-rank difficulties. Their learning difficulty was not comparable to E-rank techniques like the three basic techniques.

Even with the proficiency panel, in half a month, he had only managed to grind less than one-third of their progress.

It was fortunate that both the 'Great Fireball Technique' and 'Heart Reflection Technique' allowed him to adjust the chakra consumption, otherwise, he might not even have been able to reach thirty proficiency points.

Even now, the Heart Reflection Technique hadn't shown any effect, and his Sharingan awakening progress was still stuck at (51/100).

Seimei guessed that he probably had to wait until it reached mastery before seeing any results.

Fortunately, Seimei wasn't in a hurry.

After reviewing his gains over the past half month, Seimei skillfully took out a Soldier Pill, popped it into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed it, then started his routine training.

Soon, the night passed.

...

The next day.

Morning.

Within the Uchiha compound.

At a certain training ground.

Due to the war, there weren't many people here.

Seimei came to an open area, wrapped the prepared bandages and weights around his arms and ankles, and then began his 'Basic Taijutsu' training.

'Basic Taijutsu' not only included combat-related knowledge but also a lot of physical training to strengthen the body and increase stamina.

Therefore, it was possible to gain proficiency even without sparring, although the speed was slower.

Fortunately, he still had plenty of time.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Seimei punched and kicked the tree, making it resound with loud thuds. Soon, a large patch of bark was stripped away, revealing the fibrous layer underneath.

Seimei ignored this and continued striking at a steady pace.

When he got tired, he would rest for a while and then continue training with a different movement.

Because he could see the proficiency, Seimei didn't find it boring at all.

Soon, the morning passed.

Finally, after gaining another proficiency point, 'Basic Taijutsu' on the panel broke through, going from lv1 (199/200) to lv2 (1/500).

Immediately, a wave of enlightenment washed over him, giving Seimei a deeper understanding of combat.

Moreover, the breakthrough in 'Basic Taijutsu' triggered a chain reaction.

A warm current emerged from the depths of his bone marrow and quickly flowed throughout his body through his blood vessels and meridians.

Seimei felt as if a thousand pounds had been lifted from his body, and it was incredibly comfortable.

He opened the panel and glanced at it. As expected, his Physique attribute had increased by one point, from five to six.

This wasn't entirely due to 'Basic Taijutsu'.

It contributed at most one-third. Most of it relied on the foundation accumulated during his body's growth and development.

This foundation was triggered by 'Basic Taijutsu' and exploded at the moment of breakthrough, causing his body to undergo a transformation.

If a physique of five was considered average among his peers, then six could be called genius.

The increase in physique wasn't linear. A physique of six wasn't simply one-fifth more than five; it was almost fifty percent higher.

This was also the reason why his Spirit attribute was only seven after absorbing the original owner's soul.

From this, one could see how difficult it was to gain even one point of Physique.

For a while, he wouldn't have to worry about the limitations of his body anymore.

After getting used to it for a bit, Seimei didn't waste any more time. He casually took out a Soldier Pill, popped it into his mouth, and started refining chakra.

'Basic Taijutsu' had reached lv2, achieving his goal. Next was to grind the three basic techniques, 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique', and 'Heart Reflection Technique'.

More than three hours later, his chakra was fully restored.

Seimei got up and started practicing the three basic techniques.

The lv1 three basic techniques could only be considered barely mastered. Although he could perform them completely, there were still quite a few flaws.

That's why Seimei wanted to grind them to lv2.

By then, he could easily use them even in battle.

Soon, his chakra was exhausted, and the proficiency of his three basic techniques increased by over a dozen points.

Seimei started refining chakra again.

Once his chakra was full, he resumed practicing the three basic techniques.

He repeated this three times. After the proficiency of each of the three basic techniques increased by fifteen points, he would use the remaining chakra on the 'Great Fireball Technique' and 'Heart Reflection Technique'.

After practicing these two ninjutsu and genjutsu, it was basically late at night.

At this point, Seimei would rest and repeat the process the next day.

Although this process was boring and tedious, Seimei enjoyed it.

Soon, a week passed.

That night, after completing his last round of training, Seimei opened the panel.

The familiar light blue screen appeared:

[Name: Uchiha Seimei

Age: 10 years old

Physique: 6

Spirit: 7

Chakra: 5 (372→580)

Bloodline: Sharingan - Unawakened (51/100)

Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv1 (91/200) → lv1 (195/200)

Clone Technique: lv1 (20/200) → lv2 (1/500)

Transformation Technique: lv1 (19/200) → lv2 (1/500)

Substitution Technique: lv1 (18/200) → lv2 (1/500)

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: lv0 (30/100) → lv0 (52/100)

Heart Reflection Technique: lv0 (30/100) → lv0 (61/100)

Basic Taijutsu: lv2 (1/500)

Ninja Tool Throwing: lv2 (120/500)]

Looking at the refreshed panel, a smile appeared on Seimei's tired face.

With nearly six hundred points of chakra, lv2 three basic techniques, plus lv2 'Basic Taijutsu' and 'Ninja Tool Throwing', Seimei was filled with hope for the future.

Since transmigrating, he had been walking on thin ice, cautious in everything he did, afraid of revealing any flaws.

Now, a month had passed, and he had finally overcome his weak period.

Next, as long as he awakened the Sharingan before going to the battlefield, his safety would be somewhat guaranteed.

By then, he could coast along, grind proficiency, increase his strength, and hopefully survive this Great Ninja War.

As for what came after...

That depended on how things developed.

At his current growth rate, it wouldn't take many years for him to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world. By then, even if someone wanted to do something to him, he could easily crush them.

Therefore, the so-called clan extermination didn't concern him.

Of course, if someone annoyed him, he wouldn't mind crushing them ahead of time.

After pondering for a moment, Seimei stopped thinking and turned to enter the bedroom.
