Obtaining the Akimichi Clan's Secret Technique

The next morning, Neji arrived at his class with a huge backpack. Naturally, he attracted some strange looks along the way. After all, it was rare for a six- or seven-year-old child to carry such a large backpack, so it was normal to attract attention.

Sitting in his seat, Neji took out the books from his backpack one by one. The books included all the theoretical knowledge from the Ninja Academy's six years of curriculum: Konoha History Volumes 1, 2, and 3; Introduction to Ninja; Political Thought; The Will of Fire; Kunai Throwing Techniques; Wilderness Survival Guide, and fifty to sixty other miscellaneous books.

Because it was early, there weren't many people in the classroom. But as class time approached, more and more people entered the classroom. Seeing the pile of books on Neji's desk, the students looked at him strangely, and some even mocked him. Neji just glanced at them. Little kids, he thought, and ignored them completely!

Neji picked up a book and began to read. If he didn't want to keep a low profile, Neji would have even liked to use a few Shadow Clones to study together. But even with only Neji's main body reading, his reading speed was still quite fast. After all, most of the books only required memorization and didn't require any brainpower to understand. This made it quite simple for Neji, who had a strong memory and abnormal insight.

Before long, the bell rang, and their homeroom teacher came into the classroom. The homeroom teacher was an ordinary Chunin from the Sarutobi Clan named Asuma Sarutobi. She didn't say much, simply introducing the upcoming course schedule.

The courses were generally divided into theory, ideology, and practical classes. Theory and ideology classes were the main focus for the first three years, and practical classes were the main focus for the last three years. Asuma Sarutobi didn't elaborate further, but said, "You'll find out later," and started the first class of the day: Konoha History 1.

The course was boring, but Neji didn't care. After all, he wasn't listening to the lecture at all, but reading his own books in the back. Yes, Neji had chosen a seat in the last row because he didn't want to attract the attention of the teacher and classmates. Unfortunately, Rock Lee was also next to him, and Rock Lee was listening very attentively.

By the end of the first day of classes, Neji had already read and memorized three books. At this rate, he estimated that he could memorize all the theoretical and ideological courses for six years in a month.

This year, with the help of high-energy foods and medicinal baths, and with tireless exercise, he had already built a certain foundation for his body. During this time, Neji had been very restrained in extracting Chakra, so as not to burden his body and affect his foundation.

Now, he could speed up the extraction of Chakra and strive to increase his Chakra to 60 Ka in one year, and reach the Chunin level of 100 Ka or more in the second year. At that time, he would barely have some ability to protect himself.

The plan to obtain the Akimichi Clan's Secret Technique for quickly digesting and absorbing energy from food could also be implemented. Obviously, it wouldn't work to sneak into the Akimichi Clan's territory to steal it, and it would be even worse to go directly to their door to ask for it. It would be good enough if they didn't beat him out as a lunatic.

But Neji wasn't worried. With the continuous accumulation of basic medical knowledge this year, although he couldn't treat patients yet, his understanding of the human body had reached a very high level. After all, with the Byakugan, Neji could perfectly combine theory and practice. He once again sighed that the Byakugan was truly a great tool for scientific research.

After school, Neji didn't rush home. Instead, he found a place that was relatively high, had few people, and wasn't too far from the Akimichi Clan, and sat down. He activated his Byakugan and stared intently at the Akimichi Clan's fat people, observing the flow of Chakra in their bodies!

For a week, Neji sat in meditation in this place after school. During this time, people came and went nearby, but because Neji wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary and was wearing a hood, ordinary people couldn't detect that Neji was using his Byakugan, so it didn't attract any onlookers or discussions!

During this week, Neji observed about forty or fifty Akimichi Clan members, marked them separately in a notebook, and drew their Chakra flow charts below each Akimichi Clan member.

Normally, when Ninja aren't using Ninjutsu, Chakra is generally stored in the 130 trillion cells in the human body. When they need to activate Ninjutsu, they use their mental power to mobilize Chakra from the 130 trillion cells to perform Ninjutsu.

But the Akimichi Clan members were different. Whether they were eating, sleeping, walking, or doing other things, there was always a flow of Chakra in their stomach area, with varying degrees of intensity.

By comparing the Chakra flow paths of nearly fifty people, Neji could basically determine that the Akimichi Clan's Secret Technique for quickly digesting food in their bodies was related to this flowing Chakra.

After drawing his conclusion, Neji left the high ground and returned to his residence.

He ordered a pile of high-energy food, ate it all, and silently began to mobilize Chakra in his body according to the Akimichi Clan's Chakra mobilization path.

From the initial clumsiness to later proficiency took only half an hour. As the Chakra was mobilized, his body became warm, especially his stomach, which was constantly churning, accelerating the digestion and decomposition of the food inside. The energy in the food was thus extracted quickly and efficiently.

If this energy wasn't consumed quickly, it would be stored in the body in the form of fat, and Neji would become Fatty Neji.

The Akimichi Clan had another Secret Technique to extract the energy stored in the body's fat again, and most of the Akimichi Clan members were relatively lazy. In addition, most of them didn't mind getting fat, so after breaking down the energy in their bodies, they let it turn into fat and store it in their bodies.

Neji couldn't do that. First, Neji hadn't yet obtained the Secret Technique to extract energy from fat. Second, Neji preferred to use the extracted energy to become Chakra or to strengthen his body, rather than store it as fat. Third, Neji really didn't want to become a fatty!

When the food in his body was almost digested and his body was full of energy, Neji began to accelerate the refinement of Chakra and train his body even more diligently.

After nearly three hours of tossing and turning, he finally consumed the excess energy in his body. His Chakra directly increased by 0.2 Ka, and his body was strengthened to a certain extent.

It seems that the effect of this Secret Technique is even more useful than I calculated. At this rate, with two Chakra extractions and exercises every day, I should be able to reach the Chakra standard of a general Chunin, 100 Ka, in two hundred days.

But another problem arose. The food he had just consumed wasn't a normal meal! It was five times the amount of a normal meal. In other words, he would have to consume ten times the usual amount of food a day, which was 12,000 Ryo a day.

Neji had to thank Father again for leaving him his inheritance. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Neji's six-year-old body to earn money for cultivation.
