Chapter 39: Uchiha Chakra Refining Technique Completed

"There are already some clues!"

Kaori shook her head slightly and said, "During this period, we've sent people to investigate this matter."

"Three days ago, news came back from the Land of Rivers that a giant eagle ninja beast had been discovered!"

"If everything goes well, it should be brought back within the next two days!"

"However, there's another problem."

"Can the ninja beast be directly taken to the pirate world?"

"Or does it also need to be bound by a contract?"

"Does it also require cultivating favorability with a specific ninjutsu?"

If cultivating favorability was necessary, it would take more time.

"Uh..."

Katsumi paused slightly after hearing this and said, "It depends on the level of its intelligence. If it possesses complete awareness, then favorability will need to be cultivated."

"If it doesn't have full sentience, then a forced contract can be used, or the space-time gate can act as a transit point."

These restrictions were actually designed to protect Katsumi's safety. Otherwise, unforeseen complications could occur.

However, if the creature wasn't directly brought into the pirate world but instead placed into the space-time gate's storage, there weren't as many restrictions.

As long as it lost its ability to resist, it could be safely stored inside the space-time gate.

This point was proven during Rayleigh's last hunt for the Sea Kings.

It's worth noting that higher-level Sea Kings, especially those that exceed a thousand meters in size, possess complete sentience. They even have their own languages and can understand human speech to engage in communication.

"Then I suppose we'll have to cultivate the favorability of this ninja eagle first," Kaori reminded gently.

"Because ninja beasts generally possess full intelligence. Some can even communicate directly using human language."

"That makes sense. We'll focus on that when the time comes," Katsumi agreed. "Ninja beasts aren't as complicated as humans. Their minds are simpler, so improving favorability shouldn't be too difficult."

"I'll just feed it plenty of Sea Kings' meat or nutritional pills. That should help it meet the binding requirements in no time."

It would be much simpler if humans worked the same way.

"That's true!" Kaori nodded in agreement. "Then we'll proceed with this plan!"

Several hours later,

Katsumi finally finished reading through all the sealing techniques and related knowledge he had obtained this time.

Even the Flying Thunder God Technique was thoroughly studied, and all its content and information were carefully memorized in his mind.

However, fully mastering these skills would still take a considerable amount of time and practice.

---

After dinner,

Katsumi officially began his chakra training.

This marked the first time he practiced chakra since successfully awakening his talent and extracting chakra for the very first time.

During this session, Katsumi found the entire process remarkably smooth and fluid.

It was far less challenging than before.

With just a little effort, he could easily extract and synthesize a significant amount of chakra.

It seemed the energy contained within each of his cells had increased by dozens—or even hundreds—of times compared to just a month ago.

After successfully extracting chakra once more, Katsumi didn't stop there. He continued refining chakra while also practicing a breathing technique aimed at pushing his chakra limits even further.

---

[You have practiced Chakra Refining, proficiency +30, Chakra +10.]

[You have practiced Chakra Refining, proficiency +40, Chakra +10.]

[You have practiced Chakra Refining, proficiency +52, Chakra +12.]

---

As Katsumi's proficiency gradually increased, his ability to efficiently extract and utilize the energy from his cells improved correspondingly.

The amount of chakra he could extract and synthesize with each attempt also continued to grow steadily.

The amount of chakra in Katsumi's body was also steadily increasing.

There is a common saying among ninjas that the amount of chakra one possesses is mostly fixed, and ordinary practice cannot easily expand this limit.

However, when one becomes proficient in extracting energy from every cell to synthesize chakra, it opens up pathways for further improvement.

In the future, if he wanted to increase his chakra limit, he could only rely on natural bodily growth as he aged. Alternatively, he could achieve it through intense physical training—tempering the body, strengthening the cells, and expanding their energy capacity.

Of course, mental strength also plays a critical role and must improve in tandem. Fortunately, the process of rigorous physical training inherently promotes mental growth, even if its effects are subtle.

The body, mind, and soul are intrinsically connected, complementing one another in their development.

However, Katsumi was still far from reaching the stage where he could effortlessly extract energy from every cell in his body to synthesize chakra.

As such, the amount of chakra he could generate was still steadily increasing.

0.1 card, 0.2 card, 0.5 card, 1 card… until it reached 1.5 cards, at which point he stopped refining chakra.

At this moment, his chakra refining technique had already been perfected.

[Uchiha Chakra Refining Technique (29,851/100,000, Perfect)]

With the support of his understanding and natural talent, his progress was remarkably rapid.

Of course, the relatively simple nature of the chakra refining technique also contributed to his speed of improvement.

"It seems it will only take a few more days to reach complete perfection and break through the limit!" Katsumi murmured to himself.

"I wonder what kind of skill will manifest after the chakra refining technique surpasses its current limit?"

"Will it lead directly to cultivating immortality?"

"Or will it evolve into a sharper and more advanced chakra refining technique?"

As Katsumi glanced at his attribute panel, he couldn't help but speculate.

"Hmm, immortality seems unlikely. The leap would be too significant since chakra refining doesn't involve absorbing natural energy."

"Perhaps breaking the limit of an immortal cultivation technique might result in enlightenment or the creation of a Sage Art."

The thought crossed his mind that Wet Bone Forest likely held the key to the immortal art practice methods.

Since he was already Tsunade's apprentice, Katsumi figured he could seek Katsuyu's Summoning Contract qualification at the right time.

After that, he planned to approach Katsuyu Sage to learn directly.

That said, Katsumi also harbored a long-term ambition—to create immortal art, or even a fully-fledged immortal cultivation method, specifically designed for humans.

The current immortal arts, which leaned heavily toward demon cultivation methods, felt imperfect to him.

Who knew what hidden dangers these methods might harbor?

For instance, Jiraiya and others who practiced Mount Myōboku's Sage Arts developed noticeable toad-like traits. Such transformations felt unnatural and concerning.

"Next, I'll focus on chakra control training!"

Shaking off these swirling thoughts, Katsumi stepped out of his room and approached a large tree near the small training ground in his backyard.

He gathered a specific amount of chakra under his feet and attempted to walk onto the tree trunk.

Crack!

The bark and part of the trunk shattered under his foot. He had clearly used too much chakra.

Quickly adjusting his output, Katsumi tried again.

This time, he succeeded.

At the same moment, a new skill appeared on his attribute panel:

---

[Chakra Control (1/100), Entry Level.]

---

The moment the skill materialized, insights related to chakra control flooded Katsumi's mind. By now, he was accustomed to this phenomenon and swiftly digested the information.

Step by step, he climbed the tree, balancing himself with precise chakra control.

---

[You have conducted Chakra Control Training, Chakra Control Proficiency +3.]

[You have conducted Chakra Control Training, Chakra Control Proficiency +3.]

[You have conducted Chakra Control Training, Chakra Control Proficiency +4.]

When Katsumi climbed to the top of the tree, his control over chakra had improved significantly, making tree climbing an effortless task.

His chakra control skill had also successfully advanced to the proficient level.

"I'm improving so fast! This is my true talent and understanding at work!" he exclaimed inwardly.

"In the past, I was completely held back by my congenital deficiencies!"

Katsumi found himself increasingly immersed in his practice, reveling in the joy of progress.

It was a stark contrast to the past when he had to tread cautiously during physical training, constantly worried about injuring himself.

The first time he extracted chakra, he had been extremely cautious and nervous, afraid of accidentally harming himself, or worse, ending his life.

Of course, before awakening the memories and talents from his previous life, his comprehension and mental strength had not been as developed.

It was only after the awakening—when the souls and mental strength of his two lives merged—that his extraordinary abilities began to manifest.

This had been verified long ago.

Standing atop the tree, gazing at the sprawling Uchiha clan's territory and the faintly lit Konoha in the distance, Katsumifelt a surge of ambition and determination.

His journey to becoming a powerful force had truly begun.
