Chakra Chakras

In a corner where no one else could see, Miwa Masayo said happily, "That was so fun! This kitty was so impressive just now."

She struck a proud pose on the ground and said in a commanding voice, "Uchiha's clan head, I am Miwa Masayo."

"Meow, meow, meow! When I said that, your clan head's expression kept changing. It was so interesting."

"The things you taught me to say were amazing."

Of course Miwa Masayo was overexcited. The head of the Uchiha clan was a great figure whom even Cat Granny had to formally welcome.

After all, Cat Castle's various businesses had all begun through trade with the Uchiha. They had also relied heavily on Uchiha channels and even received substantial Uchiha investment.

In Uchiha Yu's words, Fugaku was the client who called the shots.

And yet, following Yu's instructions, she had been able to speak to such an important figure as an equal. He had even taken a slightly lower stance. Just imagine it: if the strongest person born in the '80s greeted you in a somewhat humble tone, wouldn't you feel great?

Miwa Masayo felt absolutely fantastic, so excited that she rolled all over the grass.

No matter how excited she was, Miwa Masayo gradually calmed down, and then she noticed a problem.

"Yu?"

"What is it?"

"Why can't I hear your thoughts now? Can't you hear me when I speak in my heart either?"

"I guess it's because the transfer of chakra and Natural Energy stopped."

"Shall we try again?"

[Can you hear me, meow?]

[I can hear you.]

[Okay, meow, stop already. My body's stuffed full, and it feels awful, meow.]

[Then I'll hold back a little. Slowly.]

[Meow... It still feels awful. Slower, meow.]

[That sounds a little weird.]

[What's weird about it?]

[...]

Fortunately, Uchiha Yu was well-trained. As long as he was not truly unable to hold back, he could control his mind in time and stop those terrifying thoughts from popping up on their own.

Otherwise, he would get another round of meow-meow punches.

Very soon, the man and cat found a solution. They determined the minimum and maximum transfer amounts for Natural Energy and chakra, establishing an unprecedented method of communication with exceptional secrecy.

Though it required direct physical contact, both the man and cat were quite satisfied.

There was one more person in the special training, but the content of the training did not change at all. Uchiha Yu earnestly gave the four of them basic training, without teaching any unconventional ninjutsu.

However, Shisui's arrival also forced Uchiha Yu to alter his training content. Shisui had already received all the standard training and had mastered it very skillfully. It was clear that he had put in a great deal of effort.

Since he was making changes, Uchiha Yu naturally had to shape Shisui's values properly, so that when Shisui saved the Uchiha clan in the future, he could find the right direction.

With Uchiha Shisui standing at the forefront, Uchiha Yu could cultivate immortality in peace. Just thinking about it felt wonderful.

To change Shisui's values, he first had to make Shisui concede and acknowledge Uchiha Yu's wisdom. What he taught next would therefore be very important.

If he could not teach ninjutsu, then what could he teach?

Uchiha Yu really did have something.

His understanding of chakra differed from that of ordinary shinobi. After reaching Foundation Establishment, he had confirmed many characteristics of the meridians through observing the flow of Natural Energy.

Moreover, the unique knowledge Uchiha Yu possessed was not limited to meridians. As Natural Energy forced chakra out of the meridians and compelled it to disperse through the cells of his body, the chakra within him naturally revealed another mode of circulation.

The Seven Chakras.

Seeing the changes in his body, Uchiha Yu recalled memories from his previous life. It was a chakra cultivation system belonging to Ancient India.

According to his memories, chakra circulated through the Seven Chakras: the Crown Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Navel Chakra, Sacral Chakra, and Root Chakra.

They happened to correspond exactly to the circular chakra circulation system within his body.

However, while Uchiha Yu also had seven chakra wheels in his body and their positions matched, five of them were small, colorless, transparent wheels.

Only the lowest Root Chakra and the Navel Chakra at his belly button had color.

The Root Chakra was not only a bright red, but also the largest chakra wheel.

The Navel Chakra at his belly button was yellow, though both its brightness and size were far inferior to the Root Chakra.

Through observing the operation of the Seven Chakras, Uchiha Yu figured out many techniques for chakra circulation. They were techniques that could not be detected through traditional methods, yet were genuinely effective.

He selected some relatively simple techniques and taught them to Uchiha Shisui and the three genin, guiding them through the corresponding exercises.

In only a few days, everyone made obvious progress.

Their improvement was comprehensive. They jumped higher, ran faster, and became stronger in both explosive power and endurance. Even the power of their ninjutsu increased significantly.

This was without increasing chakra consumption or optimizing any specific technique. It was merely a slight adjustment to the way chakra circulated and the habits surrounding it.

The cost-effectiveness was unbelievably high.

The teacher and learners were simply too young to understand the value of this knowledge. The four of them were happy about their progress, while the other was delighted that his initial brainwashing had succeeded.

Under the influence of the Ninja World's traditional culture, anyone who could offer concrete and effective advice on improving strength would be naturally regarded as a person of extraordinary wisdom.

Someone like Uchiha Yu, who could not only offer effective advice but also provide a persuasive, systematic explanation, would be considered an authority.

The Third Hokage's authority came from the title "Professor of Ninjutsu" and from his three Kage-level disciples, not from the strength that allowed him to suppress Danzo.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi had not had any record of killing anyone in a long time. The most recent could be traced back to the First Shinobi World War, nearly twenty-five years ago.

Even his last battle had taken place on the day the Second Hokage died in battle.

That battle had been highly disgraceful, because the Hokage had sacrificed himself while every member of the Hokage Guard Platoon survived.

Uchiha Yu naturally could not compare to the Third Hokage yet, but his strength surpassed the four people before him, and his knowledge was extensive and remarkably effective. Within this small circle, he absolutely counted as an authority.

With that authority, his words were more easily accepted. Bit by bit, he instilled ideas and gradually changed the values of the three.

Only Uchiha Obito remained unaffected.

Obito's way of thinking was absolutely bizarre. Even among the Four Laughing Masters, he was the most unreasonable one.

Moreover, Uchiha Obito possessed an invincible love-brain. Its operating logic was astonishingly similar to Grandma Chiung Yao's. Love—only love was truth. Before love, his kindness and compassion were worth nothing. Even his dignity, character, and humanity held no value whatsoever.

As for the lives of others, the fate of his clan, and the rise and fall of the village—things he had never cared about in the first place—they mattered even less.

Destroying the world to save lost love was only natural.

That was why, upon witnessing Rin's death, he could immediately resolve to destroy the world. In his logic, what did it matter if humanity lost its lives? Obito had lost love.
