Chapter 69: Training
"Qingming, are you sure you don't want to join the clan's combat team?" A Uchiha jōnin with a three-tomoe Sharingan looked at Qingming and asked.
"Hmm."
Qingming silently nodded, a hint of sorrow flickering in his eyes.
If he was going to play pretend, he might as well commit fully. Since others believed his Sharingan awakened due to witnessing a companion's death, he couldn't appear too calm.
Seeing Qingming's demeanor, the Uchiha jōnin sighed and said, "Alright then."
With that, he pulled out a scroll from his robe and continued, "This contains some techniques for using the Sharingan. Take the time to familiarize yourself with it."
As he spoke, he tossed the scroll to Qingming.
This was exactly what Qingming wanted, but it wasn't something he asked for from the clan; it was given to him voluntarily after they learned of his awakening.
Qingming admitted he underestimated the Uchiha clan's commitment to the Sharingan.
Just two days after he returned to the base, the clan sent someone to verify his awakening. Once they confirmed it, they delivered the scroll the following day.
As for the suggestion to join the clan's combat team, that was to protect those newly awakened Sharingan users.
Even though Qingming didn't feel much attachment to the Uchiha clan, he couldn't deny their care for their clan members.
Whether it was the support they provided after the 'parents' of this body died or the attention he received after awakening the Sharingan, it reflected their values.
However, with so many secrets, he didn't want to stay under the watchful eyes of the Sharingan, which is why he declined their good intentions. Otherwise, he could have blended in and navigated through the war without much trouble.
Suppressing these thoughts, Qingming reached out to catch the scroll thrown by the jōnin.
Before he could examine it, the Uchiha jōnin produced another scroll, saying, "I see you've been using your sword well; this is the sword technique passed down in our Uchiha clan."
Qingming's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He took the scroll, opened it, and murmured, "Uchiha Sword Technique."
"Correct. This sword technique is unique to our Uchiha clan, and when paired with the Sharingan, it can unleash its full power."
The Uchiha jōnin spoke with pride.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Qingming expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
"Mm."
Hearing Qingming's thanks, the Uchiha jōnin nodded and finally encouraged, "Practice hard; don't tarnish the name of our Uchiha clan."
With that, he turned to leave.
However, just as he turned, 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 Chūnin Exams."
"Chūnin Exams?"
Qingming was momentarily stunned, then nodded, saying, "Understood, Uncle."
"Good. Just knowing is enough."
With that, the Uchiha jōnin departed.
Watching his figure disappear, Qingming murmured, "So the Chūnin Exams are coming up again in half a year; it's just..."
Recalling his two teammates and their teacher, Qingming couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.
"The Seventeen Team is left with just me."
Even Qingming couldn't help but feel a bit lonely at that moment.
But soon, he pushed that feeling aside.
Now was not the time for melancholy; since he had the materials he needed, it was time to focus on his training.
In the following days, Qingming divided his daily chakra usage of 5,500 into five parts.
He allocated 3,400 for practicing 'Heart Reflection Technique,' which would increase its proficiency by 20 points, subsequently promoting the Sharingan's evolution by 4 points.
Another 900 points were set aside to maintain the Sharingan's activation for 15 hours, which would grant 3 points of evolution to his Sharingan.
The remaining 1,200 points were split into three parts, with 1,000 used for practicing 'Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique' and 'Illusion: Chains Technique,' allowing each to gain 6 proficiency points.
As for the remaining 200 points of chakra, he used them for 'Leaf Village Sword Technique,' 'Uchiha Sword Technique,' and 'Ninja Tool Throwing,' which didn't consume much chakra.
Additionally, he spent any free time pondering the techniques for using the Sharingan.
As such, except for the time spent on missions, he was either training or on his way to train. Every day was filled to the brim.
Qingming's life was incredibly fulfilling.
······
Two months flew by in the blink of an eye.
As Qingming had anticipated, the Iwagakure village had slowed its operations due to the elimination of their logistics base.
Thanks to this, the missions Qingming undertook posed little difficulty.
That night, as usual, Qingming practiced the 'Heart Reflection Technique.'
Once, twice, three times.
Until the eleventh attempt, a peculiar sensation surfaced in his heart, and his understanding of the 'Heart Reflection Technique' suddenly ascended to a new level.
He knew that his 'Heart Reflection Technique' had broken through.
After a moment, Qingming opened his eyes and silently chanted, "Panel!"
In the next instant, a familiar light blue interface appeared.
[Name: Uchiha Qingming]

Physique: 8
Spirit: 9
Chakra: 2105 (6102→6109)
Bloodline: Sharingan · Single Tomoe (317/1000)→(715/1000)

Shadow Clone Technique: lv0 (5/100)

Heart Reflection Technique: lv4 (946/2000)→Lv5 (1/5000)

Chakra Control: lv3 (190/1000)→lv3 (210/1000)
Three Body Technique: lv3 (0/0)
Qingming's gaze quickly passed over the other categories and landed on the 'Heart Reflection Technique.'
Sure enough, its level had risen from lv4 (946/2000) to Lv5 (1/5000)!
Of course, according to the initial training plan, he should have broken through nearly half a month ago.
However, the exposure of his Sharingan prompted Qingming to adjust the allocation of his chakra, reducing the investment in the 'Heart Reflection Technique,' which delayed his progress for a full two months.
Yet, his Sharingan's evolution speed did not slow down; in fact, it had improved considerably.
The reasoning was simple: by activating the Sharingan, he could achieve greater evolution with less chakra.
This increase and decrease ultimately produced a positive effect.
As a result, the evolution speed of his Sharingan exceeded his initial expectations.
At this moment, the evolution level of his Sharingan had reached (715/1000), surpassing two-thirds of its total.
Now, it all depended on how effective the Lv5 'Heart Reflection Technique' would be; if it proved sufficient, his Sharingan could evolve into the Double Tomoe in no time.
