If Your Legs Are Weak, Just Sleep in Separate Beds

"Uchiha Ling! It's you! I want to undergo special training with you! Please agree!"

Shiranui Genma looked stubborn, but his words were full of pleading.

Uchiha Ling asked, "What do you want to train? The teachers have already taught us ninja training methods. Some people just put in more effort, that's all."

What did he know about special training? He had only been randomly experimenting when teaching Ebisu.

"I want to learn how to deal with the Sexy Technique!"

"Oh! That? Easy. Come with me!" Uchiha Ling suddenly said, "Wait! How did you know I could deal with the Sexy Technique?"

"I saw the way Ebisu looked at you. I can't be wrong—there's definitely something going on between you two!"

"Looks like Ebisu really got under your skin. You're paying this much attention to him now."

Uchiha Ling led Shiranui Genma to the secret base he shared with Ebisu, deep in the thick woods beside a training ground.

Uchiha Ling crawled beneath a bush, rustling around as he searched for something.

Soon, Shiranui Genma saw Uchiha Ling hide a book behind his back before mysteriously approaching him.

"Genma, if you want to deal with the Sexy Technique, there's only one way: desensitization training!"

"Desensitization training? What kind of training is that?"

Uchiha Ling pulled out the picture book from behind his back.

"Ebisu picked out the best parts from more than three hundred picture books, tore them out, and made this compilation.

"This picture book is the essence of Ebisu's Sexy Technique! His Sexy Technique was cultivated based on this very book.

"If you can finish looking through it without being moved, with a heart as still as water, then you won't react at all when you encounter the Sexy Technique in the future.

"Study it. Go on, study it."

Shiranui Genma took the picture book and glanced down at the cover.

Then blood began flowing from his nose again.

The girl on the cover had a smoking-hot figure and was half-naked and voluptuous. At his young age, Shiranui Genma had never seen anything like that.

Uchiha Ling thought, Konoha Village's terrible birth rate will have to be improved by me.

The people in this class are the elites of Konoha's generation, yet more than half of them won't have children in the future.

If neither you nor I have kids, how will Konoha develop?

I'm doing this for Konoha too. My Will of Fire is utterly sincere.

From now on, please call me the "Master of Enlightenment"!

Uchiha Ling stopped paying attention to Shiranui Genma and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave, waiting for Kurenai Yuhi at the training ground.

When Kurenai Yuhi saw Uchiha Ling, her face immediately reddened.

"Ling, you saw that technique Ebisu used today, right? It was too much! He actually turned into a naked woman!"

"It was a little excessive."

Uchiha Ling thought, Calling it a little excessive is understating it.

If it were me, the effect would definitely be better than Ebisu's.

Kurenai Yuhi added, "Ling, you're not that kind of person, right?"

"Of course not. Ebisu's level is beneath me."

After sparring with Kurenai Yuhi, she stayed behind for extra training while Uchiha Ling pondered another matter.

When he had transmigrated, the original body had around 0.2 cards' worth of chakra.

During this period, he had used the Defense-Breaking System to draw 0.1 cards' worth of chakra three times. He now had around 0.5 cards' worth of chakra.

In other words, his own chakra had not increased much at all.

Could the original body's talent really have been that poor?

Kakashi had already possessed 0.5 cards' worth of chakra last year. Now that he had become a genin and gone to war, his chakra reserves would certainly be even greater.

Although using the system to draw chakra was highly efficient, he also needed to value his own growth.

Chakra was the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy. A ninja's chakra reserves were determined by those two things.

Physical energy could be increased through taijutsu training. The stronger one's physique, the more physical energy one had.

But he had no idea how to improve spiritual energy.

According to what the original work had revealed, ninjas' minds were extremely fragile. Once something went wrong, they could easily develop mental illness.

Was there any other way to increase chakra?

Every time the system increased his chakra, he could feel his physique improving as well.

Relying on the system had concealed how slowly he was progressing on his own.

Could it be that his body had improved too quickly, while his training intensity had been insufficient to fully develop it?

After giving it some thought, Uchiha Ling decided to increase the intensity and see what happened.

When the two finished training and left the training ground, Shiranui Genma also emerged from the woods.

He thought he had wiped away all the blood, but there was still a streak of it beneath his nose.

"Kurenai, Shiranui Genma is acting all sneaky. Let's not play with him."

"Okay, we won't play with him."

Seeing the disgust in Kurenai's eyes, Shiranui Genma felt heavy-hearted. The girls must have been disgusted by the ugly sight he had made of himself in front of Ebisu's Sexy Technique.

Uchiha Ling was distancing himself from him too. It was too painful.

The next morning.

Might Guy and Akimichi Takashi ran ahead, occasionally looking at each other, unable to understand why Uchiha Ling was so slow.

Akimichi Takashi could now follow Might Guy for one lap around Konoha Village, though he would fall behind at the start of the second.

Yet today, Uchiha Ling could not even keep up during the first lap.

Uchiha Ling looked as though his legs had gone weak.

Behind them, Uchiha Ling was drenched in sweat. He had been a little too confident.

That morning, he had tied ten kilograms of weights around his waist and five kilograms around each calf. He had not expected them to affect him so much.

Even so, he had to keep training. He had to gain control over his body.

Akimichi Takashi finished ten laps. Might Guy had lapped him several times, but Uchiha Ling had never lapped him once, putting him in a great mood.

"Uchiha Ling, why are your legs weak? My brother said his legs were weak for several days after he got married. Want me to ask him how he treated it back then?"

Uchiha Ling panted heavily. "Forget it. If your brother's legs are weak, sleeping in separate beds will fix it. Mine isn't the same."

"Separate beds? Why sleep in separate beds?"

"Go home and ask your brother."

During the daytime sparring class, everyone noticed that Uchiha Ling's movements had become somewhat sluggish.

Even though he was slower, Akimichi Takashi still could not touch the corner of Uchiha Ling's clothes. Uchiha Ling ran him ragged around the entire field like a dog.

Yamano glanced at the clods of dirt crushed beneath Uchiha Ling's feet and thought, This kid is really pushing himself. He's even started weight training.

Starting weight training too early could stunt one's growth, but looking at Uchiha Ling's lanky frame—his classmates had even nicknamed him Skinny Stick—it probably would not affect him much.

The Third Hokage was only 1.6 meters tall. Did that stop him from becoming Konoha's strongest Hokage?

After training bitterly for two months, Uchiha Ling suddenly felt something different one day.

He had broken through his plateau, and his chakra had increased!

It had risen from 0.5 cards to 0.6 cards. He had earned this through hard training, not from the system.

The days passed, and the end of the term finally arrived.

This semester, Ebisu was exempted from the Transformation Technique exam. His Transformation Technique stood apart from the rest, peerless and unmatched in the class.

No matter how much Teacher Yamano despised it, he had to admit that Ebisu's talent for the Transformation Technique was simply too great.

In the final sparring assessment, the first match was Uchiha Ling versus Akimichi Takashi.

Looking at Akimichi Takashi, Uchiha Ling thought, It's time to reel in the net.

For the happiness of the rest of my life—and my lower half—Multi-Size Technique, here I come!
