Expanding the Meridians

"Being able to perfectly utilize every bit of physical energy for cultivation—the results are truly astonishing!"

Looking inward at the chakra flowing through his meridians, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

After successfully achieving internal vision, Uchiha Yue was able to perfectly utilize every shred of physical energy, combining it with spiritual energy to condense chakra. The amount of chakra gained from this single session was actually more than the sum of his previous three sessions combined. Such a surprise was enough to make Uchiha Yue joyous, especially since he would be able to achieve these same results every single day from now on.

However, after pushing his physical energy to the limit, Uchiha Yue did not rest immediately to recover his strength before continuing his cultivation.

Chakra cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; otherwise, it is easy to end up like a bowstring pulled too tight, snapping when one least expects it.

Therefore, after finishing his chakra cultivation, Uchiha Yue continued to look inward at his meridians, observing the flow trajectory of his own chakra.

"Strange, the chakra isn't flowing through all the meridians in the human body!"

"There are actually several meridians that are completely outside the chakra flow trajectory. Why is that?"

Suddenly discovering that the chakra's flow path was somewhat suspicious, Uchiha Yue used his vast spiritual energy to control the chakra, extending it toward those empty meridians. Of course, there were some meridians where chakra could never flow; these were the body's own shackles, much like the Eight Inner Gates. Forcing chakra to flow through them would cause immense damage to the human body.

Thanks to Uchiha Yue's rich theoretical knowledge, he was able to discern which meridians could be expanded and which could not. While expanding his meridians, Uchiha Yue discovered that for every additional meridian he opened, not only would his total chakra volume increase, but even his chakra recovery speed would improve.

The benefits of having the Eight Inner Gates permanently opened were actually manifesting during this meridian expansion.

Such a surprise once again made Uchiha Yue sigh; the ability of internal vision was truly incomparably powerful!

Just like that, for the entire night, Uchiha Yue spent his time expanding the meridians in his body, striving to complete the expansion of every single one.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue had unknowingly pioneered a brand-new path for chakra cultivation!

However, even Uchiha Yue, with his extensive theoretical knowledge, did not know that expanding his meridians in this way carried certain risks.

Many ninjas who were capable of internal vision had attempted to cultivate in this same manner, including powerhouses from the Hyuga Clan, another prestigious family in Konoha. Unfortunately, even those Hyuga experts who could observe their meridians with the Byakugan had failed on the path of meridian expansion. Some even suffered damaged meridians because they could not perfectly control the chakra within, rendering them unable to condense chakra ever again.

Currently, Uchiha Yue was able to successfully expand his chakra-flowing meridians for two reasons.

The first reason was that Uchiha Yue's spiritual energy was extraordinary, granting him the ability to perfectly control the chakra within his body.

The other reason was that Uchiha Yue was still young, meaning the resistance to expanding his meridians was relatively low, allowing him to finally succeed.

Those powerhouses who wanted to expand their meridians, even those from the Hyuga Clan, were no longer as young as Uchiha Yue by the time they possessed sufficient spiritual energy. Therefore, all those who delusionally attempted to expand their meridians failed. Only Uchiha Yue, by combining his two advantages, created a completely new method of chakra cultivation.

After spending the entire night, Uchiha Yue had successfully expanded all the meridians in his body that could be expanded.

Now, the flow trajectory of Uchiha Yue's chakra was completely different from other ninjas. Not only was his speed twice that of an ordinary ninja when cultivating chakra, but his recovery speed was also ten times stronger. With such cultivation speed, combined with the advantage of perfectly utilizing his physical energy, Uchiha Yue was fully confident that he could accumulate enough chakra to reach the level of a Genin within three months.

Furthermore, because Uchiha Yue had expanded certain meridians, his chakra flow trajectory was entirely unique, meaning the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan no longer posed any threat to him. After all, the greatest threat the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist posed to an enemy was the ability to seal their chakra by striking pressure points.

Now that the flow trajectory of Uchiha Yue's chakra was different from that of an ordinary person, what threat could the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist possibly pose to him?

With his chakra volume having surged overnight, Uchiha Yue was full of confidence for the future, even feeling completely assured about surpassing Hatake Kakashi.

Of course, the title of Genin mainly depended on comprehensive strength; one could not defeat a true Genin relying solely on chakra volume.

Therefore, with no more worries regarding chakra cultivation, Uchiha Yue shifted his focus to his own physical strength.

In the short term, Uchiha Yue did not need to worry about his chakra volume; what he needed to consider was the training of his own strength.

However, with the many ninjutsu scrolls collected by Uchiha Nara, Uchiha Yue was very confident in the growth of his own power.

At the very least, even Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke from the original story did not have such advantages while growing up, did they?

"On the path of the ninja, I have taken another step ahead of others, but I must never become careless because of this!"

"I must train hard and gain greater strength so that I can protect my parents and my family!"

"I must not slack off! Uchiha Yue!"

Silently encouraging himself in his heart, Uchiha Yue then ate with the help of his servants, preparing to head to the Ninja Academy to report with his mother, Minako.

Today was the opening day of the Ninja Academy.

Therefore, his mother, Minako, had been waiting there early, ready to send him to report at the Ninja Academy.

Originally, Uchiha Yue did not want to trouble his mother, as he was perfectly capable of handling something like reporting to the Ninja Academy on his own.

It was just a pity that in the eyes of his mother, Minako, Uchiha Yue was only a four-year-old child. So, when Uchiha Yue sternly refused, Minako directly exerted her maternal authority, making Uchiha Yue obediently listen. Helpless, Uchiha Yue could only be led by the hand to the Ninja Academy by his mother, under the smiling gaze of his father, Uchiha Nara.

But...

What Uchiha Yue never expected was that just as he stepped out of the house with his mother, a reckless figure suddenly collided with him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"I was just helping an old lady cross the street and I'm about to be late. I'm really sorry for bumping into you!"
