That guy stared at Rin Nohara like a creep, his mouth agape, constantly pressing his palms together in gratitude.
At this moment, Kakashi Hatake spoke up: “You’re late for the entrance ceremony.
Someone like that has no right to enter the Ninja Academy.”
After saying that, he spread his hands: “No chance.”
Uchiha Obito dropped the gentleness he had shown Rin Nohara and turned to look at Kakashi Hatake.
“Shut up, you bastard!
Want to fight?”
“What of it?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re the one who’s wrong.”
“What did you say, you idiot Kakashi?”
Rin Nohara watched them bicker with a smile, while Uchiha Nan stepped between them, fanning the flames:
“Everyone’s classmates here.
If you have an issue, just have a fight and get it over with.”
Kakashi Hatake immediately replied: “He wouldn’t dare.”
“You bastard Kakashi!
I’ll definitely defeat you one day!”
The group went their separate ways under the sunlight, laughing and chatting.
Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Obito walked together towards the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Uchiha Obito, that naturally gregarious guy, didn’t stop talking the entire way, rambling on about how he would defeat Kakashi Hatake and become Hokage.
Uchiha Nan could only respond perfunctorily, “Yes, yes, yes, definitely, definitely.”
Uchiha Obito’s house was closer to the edge of the Uchiha Clan Compound than Uchiha Nan’s.
So, the two arrived at Uchiha Obito’s home first, where they saw a kind and gentle old grandmother standing at the door.
Uchiha Obito immediately ran towards her.
“Grandma, we’re home!”
Uchiha Obito’s grandmother hugged her grandson and patted his head.
“Obito, were you late today?”
Uchiha Obito awkwardly rubbed his head, then held up the file folder.
“No, no I wasn’t.
Didn’t I get the file folder?”
Fearing that his grandmother wouldn’t believe his lie, he pulled over Uchiha Nan, who was watching from the sidelines.
“Grandma, if you don’t believe me, ask him.
This is my classmate, and he’s also from the Uchiha Clan.”
Uchiha Obito’s grandmother greeted Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan also greeted the elder.
My name is Uchiha Nan.
I’m Obito’s classmate, and he really wasn’t late.”
Uchiha Obito blinked at him gratefully.
But what kind of person was his grandmother?
She had lived a whole lifetime; she had eaten more salt than Uchiha Obito had eaten rice.
How could she not see through his little trick?
She just didn’t want to bother with him and turned to ask Uchiha Nan:
“Nan-kun, would you like to stay for dinner?”
“Yeah, Nan, my grandma’s cooking is really good.” Uchiha Obito chimed in, quickly inviting him as well.
“Grandma, Obito, not today.
I have other things to attend to.
I’ll definitely visit another day and try your cooking.”
“Alright, it’s a deal then.”
When Uchiha Nan returned home and passed through the living room, he saw a pink bento box with a note attached to it.
“Nan-kun, this is a special bento I made for you.
Now that you’re in school, you need to eat well.
I know you don’t want to see Fugaku, so from now on, I’ll set aside a portion of the food I cook and have it sent to your home.”
“You must eat properly from now on; no more instant noodles.
Just leave the bento box on the table after you’re done, and I’ll take care of it.”
PS: I’ve already cleared out all the instant noodles in the fridge.
Don’t even think about buying more secretly; I’ll be checking periodically.
Signed: Your loving Sister Mikoto.
Holding the bento in his hands, Uchiha Nan felt a wave of warmth in his heart.
He silently swore to himself that he would protect this woman well and never let her come to any harm.
After finishing the loving bento, Uchiha Nan carefully washed the box and walked into the yard, recalling the two D-rank taijutsu he had practiced before.
He always felt there were some imperfections.
Uchiha Nan felt that the power of D-rank taijutsu, combined with his Genin-level physical fitness, shouldn’t be this weak.
The destruction caused previously was mostly due to his physical fitness; the power of the Ninjutsu didn’t seem to be very significant.
Uchiha Nan thought about it carefully for a long time, and based on the training methods of the Ninjas in the anime, he seemed to have really found some problems.
Regarding Chakra, this universal energy, Uchiha Nan listed three directions.
First is the quantity of Chakra.
Second is the quality of Chakra.
Third is the ability to manipulate Chakra.
The amount of Chakra is like the blue mana bar in a game.
How many Ninjutsu can you cast?
It all relates to the amount of Chakra.
For instance, since Uchiha Nan’s current Chakra level is at the Genin level, he cannot cast B-rank Ninjutsu—he doesn’t have enough mana.
As for the quality of Chakra, it is equivalent to the density of Chakra.
A Ninja with high-quality Chakra and a Ninja with low-quality Chakra will have absolutely different power levels when casting the same Ninjutsu, and the amount of Chakra consumed will also be different.
With high-quality Chakra, the amount of Chakra required to cast the same Ninjutsu will decrease, and the power will increase.
Just like the Tailed Beast Ball of a Tailed Beast or the Truth-Seeking Orbs of the Six Paths level, the quality of Chakra contained within them is worlds apart from that of an ordinary Ninja.
And the cohesion and control ability of Chakra both belong to the issue of Chakra manipulation.
If one can control Chakra at will to manifest different forms, one can accomplish whatever one wants to do.
For example, the tree-climbing and water-walking training that Naruto underwent after graduation are all training of this kind of ability.
Uchiha Nan realized that the lack of power in his own taijutsu was related to all three aspects.
But the only one he could solve right now was Chakra manipulation.
The issues of Chakra quantity and quality could not be solved for now.
And he could practice Chakra manipulation just like Naruto and the others.
The first step was to start with the simplest task: tree climbing.
Uchiha Nan looked at the large tree he had broken in the yard and fell silent.
Tree climbing is out.
If he couldn’t climb a tree, he could climb a wall; it was the same thing.
Uchiha Nan returned home, faced the wall, and began to think about the trick to it.
To climb up, one had to consider two factors: gravity and insufficient friction.
Uchiha Nan evenly applied Chakra to his shoes and began to try.
He gently placed one leg on the wall and applied a little force, intending to lift the other leg.
But he fell straight to the ground on his butt.
Fortunately, he knew beforehand that it wouldn’t be easy to succeed, so he had gathered Chakra on his butt in advance.
That’s why he didn’t suffer much damage.
Well, it seems he wasn’t that legendary genius who could succeed immediately.
Then he had no choice but to use the clumsy method.
Uchiha Nan gathered a small amount of Chakra at the soles of his feet, stirring up a swirl of air.
Using a running start, he rushed towards the wall, and with the force generated by the forward momentum, Uchiha Nan successfully rushed to the top of the room.
Afterward, he performed a somersault and landed in a half-squat on the ground.
Uchiha Nan thought for a moment; he couldn’t perform properly inside the room, so he had to go outside.
After a night of continuous practice.
Uchiha Nan had already mastered the ability to finely maintain the consistency and continuity of Chakra while in motion.
Through this, he also realized that the system wasn’t omnipotent.
Things provided by the system also required one to practice diligently to truly master and integrate them.
