Chapter 14

"There's also a method that can convert mental energy and Chakra into ocular power. Take a look and learn it quickly. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

He knew that with these three secret techniques, plus everything he had taught them before, their strength would surge by another huge margin.

Before long, having everyone reach Kage Level would no longer be a dream.

After quickly reading through the scroll, they were all stunned.

"There's actually a technique that can purify one's bloodline?"

"That method for turning mental energy and Chakra into ocular power is even more insane! As long as your Chakra and mental energy aren't depleted, you'll never have to worry about running out of ocular power! This can extend the Sharingan's combat endurance to a terrifying degree. The increase in combat strength won't be small at all."

Of course, keeping an ordinary Tomoe Sharingan open usually did not consume much ocular power.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss. Memorize them and start practicing."

Yan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back before guiding them through the three secret techniques.

With their creator personally teaching them, and with everyone being quite talented, they had barely managed to get started after several hours.

Their rapid progress had a great deal to do with the Spirit Refining Method he had taught them over the past two years—it had strengthened all of their mental energy considerably.

All that remained was to spend time training diligently and build up their proficiency.

"Huh? Yan, why do I feel like you already have Chakra in your body? Didn't you say you wouldn't consider extracting Chakra until you were five or six?"

While practicing the Perfect Sharingan Awakening Method, Meixin casually swept Yan with her Sharingan and immediately noticed something was off. She could not help frowning, concern in her voice.

"Extracting Chakra in such a hurry isn't a wise choice. It places a heavy burden on the body and can damage your foundation."

"Huh?"

The moment Uchiha Senichi and the others heard that, they could no longer sit still. Their gazes all fell on Yan, filled with concern.

"Don't panic."

Yan waved a hand with a smile. "My situation is different. I didn't extract it myself. When my Sharingan awakened, the ocular power and bloodline naturally fed Chakra back to me. It hasn't affected my body at all."

"Besides, with my body's foundation and strength, even if I actively draw energy from my cells to synthesize Chakra, as long as I don't overdo it and control the amount every day, it won't harm my foundation or my cells at all."

"Not to mention, I've developed a new method that can channel the Innate Qi accumulated through cultivation back into my body, repairing the cellular energy and vitality consumed by extracting Chakra."

"So, starting to practice ninjutsu now is completely fine."

Plans could not keep up with changes.

He had originally made up his mind not to touch Chakra before the age of five.

But now that he had a way to completely avoid the damage, extracting a moderate amount of Chakra for studying ninjutsu and conducting research was perfectly reasonable.

"It's a pity I haven't yet developed a method to directly convert Innate Qi into cellular energy or even Chakra. That would've been much more convenient."

He muttered to himself inwardly.

Of course, he had another route—using ocular power to convert Chakra.

Since he had already mastered the method of converting mental energy and Chakra into ocular power, reversing the process naturally was not difficult.

He had already figured that out the moment his Sharingan awakened and Chakra flowed back to him.

"What? You can do that too?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Wasn't Chakra supposed to be formed by mixing cellular energy and mental energy together?

"That's ridiculous. I feel like you already have nearly as much Chakra as I do."

Uchiha Hao muttered gloomily.

All those years of painstaking cultivation, and it still could not compare to his little brother opening his eyes once?

Comparing oneself to others really could make a person furious.

"Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Yan spread his hands. "When you first awakened your eyes, or whenever your Sharingan evolved, didn't you also feel your Chakra reserves and physical constitution soar? It's the same principle."

Uchiha Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was completely different, but after thinking it over, he swallowed the words.

His little brother had never been someone who played by common sense.

Anything strange or bizarre happening to him should have stopped surprising Hao long ago.

For now, he should hurry and practice the three newly acquired techniques, striving to catch up to his little brother as soon as possible—at the very least, he could not let himself fall too far behind.

Besides, if he did not compare himself to his little brother, then among people his age or even several years older, he was already a genius among geniuses.

Once Uchiha Hao thought of it that way, the little bit of frustration in his heart completely vanished.

That day, Yan finally went through every medical book stored by the clan and thoroughly mastered them all. He also finished studying the Sharingan cultivation methods and several cultivation paths he had created himself. Now, he only needed to train methodically every day, leaving him with a great deal of free time.

"If I want to deeply research bloodlines and Medical Ninjutsu, I have to go to the Ninja Hospital. I need to find a way to get in and study there."

With that thought in mind, Yan brought it up to his mother during lunch.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Meixin froze. "You want to enter the Ninja Hospital? Isn't that far too early? You're only three! Didn't you say you didn't want to stand out too soon and attract attention?"

To get Yan into the Ninja Hospital, they would definitely have to reveal some of his abilities.

"I can't delay my progress just because I'm afraid of being exposed."

Yan shook his head and continued, "Don't worry. I've long mastered a method for concealing my Chakra reserves, so I can hide my true strength. Showing a little talent is no big deal."

It would happen sooner or later.

His overall combat strength was now at least that of a Jōnin. Even a powerful Jōnin could be instantly killed by him if they let their guard down. There was nothing to worry about.

"Alright, then."

Since Yan had put it that way, Meixin did not stop him.

Her son had always had his own ideas since childhood. She could not control him.

"After lunch, Mom will take you to the Ninja Hospital and talk to Lady Tsunade. We'll see if she's willing to accept you as her student."

"If it works out, it'll be much more convenient for you to learn Medical Ninjutsu and read the hospital's books in the future."

"Otherwise, with the Uchiha clan name, it might not be easy to arrange."

Over the past two years, Meixin had gradually come to realize that Konoha's higher-ups were becoming increasingly wary and hostile toward the Uchiha Clan.

She had not paid much attention to it before, but after Yan gave her a few reminders, she began noticing small details from the past that she had previously overlooked.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Mom."

Yan nodded.

Become Tsunade's student?

If it really worked out, that would be quite good.

Tsunade's foundation in Medical Ninjutsu and her medical knowledge were unquestionably solid.

Moreover, Tsunade held much of the Senju Clan's accumulated heritage in her hands, which would be of great use to Yan.

Of course, setting all that aside, Tsunade's face alone was enough to make her a first-rate beauty.

At noon that day, Uchiha Senichi, Uchiha Hao, and Mikoto were all absent, apparently having each accepted missions.

After lunch with his mother, Yan headed over to the Ninja Hospital.

"Oh! Sister Meixin, is this your younger son? He's way too adorable!"

"Those little cheeks are so lovable! Let Auntie hold him!"

"His cheeks are so chubby—it'd be a waste not to give them a pinch!"

"Sister Meixin! You have such an adorable son, yet you kept him hidden at home? That's so unfair!"

The moment they arrived at the Ninja Hospital, the nurse ladies were completely captivated by Yan's exquisite little face. One after another, they rushed over to kiss and hug him.

They lifted him into the air and rubbed his cheeks, leaving Yan completely dazed.

He had never expected this scene.

He had clearly underestimated himself—he had practiced the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique since the womb, with Innate Qi continuously nourishing his body. Combined with the genes his parents had given him, he had no idea just how devastatingly handsome his face was.

And so, Yan ended up trapped in the nurses' encirclement, unable to break free no matter what he did.
