Once Uchiha Hui got home, he did not bother thinking about all that.

He just wanted to keep opening loot boxes.

He had just gotten two rewards from Asuma.

So.

The moment he arrived home, he chose to open them.

[Medium Chakra x1] [Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning (Ninjutsu Card)]

During their earlier fight, Asuma had used two fairly distinctive Ninjutsu techniques. One was a Wind Release technique that had barely blocked the Great Fireball Technique Uchiha Hui had cast without using his full strength, while the other was a rather spectacular Fire Release technique.

Uchiha Hui had thought that, with two drops, he would most likely get one Wind Release technique and one Fire Release technique.

But clearly.

It was a nice idea—getting two powerful Ninjutsu techniques for free.

Reality, however, always had a way of falling short.

Sure enough, he had only gotten a Fire Release technique. The Wind Release technique was still sitting on Asuma.

Still.

Uchiha Hui was happy to get another portion of chakra, especially one at the "medium" level.

Ninjutsu formed the foundation of a ninja's combat abilities.

But chakra formed the foundation of everything a ninja did.

Once his chakra reserves increased.

The power of his Ninjutsu would also improve.

So Uchiha Hui first absorbed the Medium Chakra he had obtained from Asuma. A few minutes later, he felt his chakra increase, and even his body's cells seemed to become more active.

Then.

He chose to learn the powerful Ninjutsu technique, Ash Pile Burning.

Finally.

After dealing with everything he had gotten from Asuma.

Uchiha Hui turned his attention to the pupil power he had obtained from sparring with an Uchiha ninja that morning.

This was the most important part of his day.

It might just be the final push he needed to upgrade his Sharingan to three tomoe!

"Absorb!!"

Uchiha Hui gave a low shout, sounding a little melodramatic.

The next second.

A wave of pain engulfed him.

Just like that.

Another half hour or more passed.

He absorbed the pupil power and felt a new change in his eyes. With a hint of excitement, he walked over to the mirror.

Soon, Uchiha Hui broke into a satisfied smile.

Finally!

Finally!

After just over a month in this world.

Uchiha Hui had ground his Sharingan all the way up to Three-Tomoe through his own "hard work."

Thinking back to when he had first arrived.

He had been nothing but a weakling with a pair of One-Tomoe eyes.

And now...

His fancy contacts had been upgraded.

From here on, he could look forward to even flashier ones!

Uchiha Hui was filled with anticipation.

After briefly scanning his Ninjutsu a few more times, he turned his attention to Shikotsumyaku.

This kekkei genkai came from the Kaguya Clan over in Kirigakure, while he was an Uchiha. He really could not display it openly, so he usually only used it discreetly during taijutsu combat.

As a result, he had no source of experience cards. Relying entirely on his own training made raising its proficiency painfully slow.

He checked the time.

Uchiha Hui found that there was still a while before nightfall.

After thinking it over.

He decided to go out "foraging" and see whether he could find a few people willing to spar with him so he could keep improving his strength.

At the training ground.

Quite a few ninjas were practicing.

But soon.

The rather noisy surroundings gradually fell quiet.

Because a prominent figure was approaching.

Uchiha Hui!

"He's here again."

"Hui really never lets up. Are there even any chunin who can take him on anymore?"

"You can't put it that way. Sparring is one thing, and a fight to the death is another. Someone who loses to him in a spar might not be weaker than him on the battlefield..."

"But Hui's improvement is real. I fought you twice that day. The first time, I could hold out for quite a while, but the next time, I got crushed in under a minute. His punches are just too powerful."

"Didn't Liu Huo, who lost to him before, try challenging him again a few days ago? Guess what happened. Uchiha Hui pinned him in place with genjutsu, then punched him right in the face as soon as he broke free. He's back in the hospital again."

"..."

Uchiha Hui heard the comments around him, but still walked to the center.

Then he quickly frowned.

There really were not many people willing to keep fighting him.

Uchiha ninjas clearly cared more about saving face.

So.

Even when he tried tempting the ninjas present with the money he had earned over the past few days and his own savings.

No one responded for quite some time.

Fortunately, the Uchiha never lacked reckless hotheads.

After a long wait, just as Uchiha Hui was about to give up on the "chunin bracket" and try the "Jonin bracket" in the future, an Elite Chunin stepped forward.

However.

Chunin clearly could no longer offer Uchiha Hui much of a challenge.

This time.

Uchiha Hui did not even pretend to struggle for his victory. After a brief exchange to test his opponent and let him show everything he had, Hui finished him off with another smooth little combo.

In just over a month.

Uchiha Hui's combat instincts had developed and sharpened through constant sparring.

And as this fight ended.

Uchiha Hui knew.

His time in the "chunin bracket" was pretty much over.

Going forward.

He might have to seek out the clan's Jonin.

The Uchiha chunin had clearly been beaten into fearing him. Once every few days was fine, but with him coming every single day, none of them were willing to step forward anymore.

The defeated Elite Chunin dropped two rewards for Uchiha Hui.

Seeing that no one else wanted to challenge him, Uchiha Hui found a corner and began "opening loot boxes."

A portion of Trace Pupil Power and an experience card for the Great Fireball Technique.

There were no unexpected surprises.

But the rewards were about what he had expected.

The saying that every Uchiha knew Fire Release was not just empty talk.

Otherwise.

Uchiha Hui would never have ground the Great Fireball Technique up to expert level in such a short time.

And now, he was increasingly eager to raise this signature Ninjutsu to an even higher level and see what it looked like when unleashed at full power.

Would it look like a shower of flaming meteors?

That would be so damn cool!

"Hui, Lord Fugaku wants to see you."

After watching some of the others spar for a while, Uchiha Hui was soon ready to head home.

Just then.

A figure appeared beside him.

He turned to look.

It was Uchiha Kiyoshi, whom he had met several times—the chunin who served as something of a guard for Uchiha Fugaku.

Ever since defeating him during their first meeting.

Uchiha had fought him at least three more times in this short stretch.

He had contributed at least three portions of Pupil Power toward upgrading Uchiha Hui's Sharingan. As for other basic Ninjutsu like the Body Flicker Technique, Uchiha Hui had not counted them, but there had certainly been plenty.

Kiyoshi had a pretty good sword technique.

So.

His drop rate for the Body Flicker Technique really was not low.

"What's this about?"

Uchiha Hui murmured in surprise.

It had been a while since he had last spoken with this big brother of his, but he could clearly sense that Fugaku was preparing something.

And as a chunin.

Uchiha Hui clearly could not play much of a role in such important matters.

So.

Uchiha Fugaku had not summoned him again.

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Hui said nothing more. He gave Uchiha Kiyoshi a slight nod of acknowledgment and prepared to follow him.

"Hui, your strength is getting more and more terrifying!"

On the way, Uchiha Kiyoshi offered the compliment casually.

"If you're weak, all you can do is train harder. What else, stay a chunin your whole life?"

Uchiha Hui spread his hands.

He certainly would not reveal his full strength, but he could not deny what others had seen of him.

After all, crushing chunin was now as easy for him as drinking water.

If not for the fact that instantly defeating some Elite Chunin felt a little too outrageous, forcing him to fight them for a while longer, he could have beaten even ninjas of that level with his eyes closed.

Not to mention that he now had a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and all his various Ninjutsu had been ground up to very respectable levels.

"But no one improves as quickly as you do, Hui."

Uchiha Hui stared at Uchiha Hui and sighed. Hui's growth had spurred him on, so he had been training hard lately too. Fugaku had even said he was approaching the level of a Special Jonin.

But compared with Uchiha Hui.

His rate of improvement was clearly still not enough.

The man before him.

Seemed to have reached a level of understanding of Fire Release that ordinary ninjas could not even touch. Even a relatively simple technique like the Great Fireball Technique seemed vastly more powerful in his hands.

What a terrifying guy!

Fortunately, someone like him was a ninja of their Uchiha Clan!

The two chatted back and forth.

Soon, they arrived at Uchiha Fugaku's study.

This time, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not follow him inside. He turned and disappeared outside the door.

Uchiha Hui pushed the door open and entered.

He soon saw Uchiha Fugaku sitting at the head of the room.

"Hui, I'm planning to expand the Konoha Military Police Force. There will be three squads, each with seven members including the captain. I intend to make you the captain of one of them. What do you think?"
