“Come on, let’s go to the backyard.”
Seeing that Asahi had no objections, Shinku Yūhi smiled and led the way towards the backyard.
“I’m coming too!” Yūhi followed right along.
She wanted to see just how talented this younger brother of hers really was – to understand her opponent better, so that she could defeat him in the future.
She was determined to become the older sister!
When the three of them arrived in the backyard, Shinku Yūhi began to explain everything in great detail.
“Generally speaking, chakra is created by mixing mental energy and physical energy in equal parts.”
“Physical energy refers to the natural energy produced by all one hundred and thirty trillion cells in the human body.
Mental energy is the energy generated through training, experience, and willpower.”
“It is correct to say that chakra is the result of combining these two types of energy.
But if we look at it more precisely, the product you get when you combine these two energies is actually just physical stamina.”
“Chakra is refined from that physical stamina, and it requires a special process of transformation.
And since every single person has physical stamina, that means everyone is capable of refining chakra.”
“The difference lies in how fast or slow you can do it, and this is also a reflection of your natural talent.
In particular, the speed at which you refine chakra for the very first time is one of the best ways to judge how talented a person is…”
Shinku Yūhi explained everything very clearly, and since Asahi was someone who came from another world and already had some basic understanding of what chakra was, he found it easy to grasp.
Curious, Asahi asked: “So how fast or slow is normal?
How long does it take an ordinary person to refine chakra for the first time?
And how long does it take for a true genius?”
Since speed was the measure of talent, Asahi needed a standard to compare himself against – a way to determine just how good his own abilities were.
Shinku Yūhi smiled.
Yūhi had asked this exact same question before.
The two of them really were very alike.
He answered: “An ordinary person usually takes ten days to half a month, and at most around one month.
If it takes longer than a month, it usually means that person isn’t suited to become a ninja.”
“For a true genius, it only takes a few days.
The faster you can do it, the more outstanding your natural talent is.”
“Let me give you an example.”
Shinku Yūhi pointed towards Yūhi and smiled.
“It took Yūhi just a little over two days!
And from what I remember, the fastest person I’ve ever heard of was Hatake Kakashi, the son of our senior Sakumo.
He took less than a single day to refine chakra for the first time!”
Asahi was a little taken aback.
But that famous “ties-with-everyone” Hatake Kakashi took less than a day?
Little Kakashi really was a complete genius back then, before he wasted his potential by spending all his time reading adult books later in life.
This just goes to show you a very important lesson: never indulge in lust, or you will end up weak and drained.
Looks like Asahi had found yet another reason to explain why Kakashi was always running low on energy…
Yūhi had been feeling quite proud when her father used her as an example, but what Asahi said immediately made her angry.
“What do you mean by that!?
Of course I’m a genius!
Why wouldn’t I be?”
“…” Shinku Yūhi didn’t know what to say.
He was surprised by what Asahi chose to focus on.
Shouldn’t he be more impressed and interested in the genius that was Hatake Kakashi?
“This is how you refine chakra…” Shinku Yūhi taught Asahi the complete method, then asked with a smile, “Do you have any other questions?”
To be honest, he was also quite curious to see how talented Asahi really was.
Asahi definitely had something special about him, and it was highly likely that he was from the Uzumaki clan, so his talent shouldn’t be bad at all.
Shinku Yūhi was actually quite looking forward to seeing the result!
“I’ve remembered everything clearly,” Asahi said.
“I’ll give it a try right now.
As the older brother, I definitely won’t be worse than my younger sister!”
Asahi had full confidence in himself.
Not only had he received rewards from the system, which had already subtly changed his body in ways he couldn’t fully explain; but as someone who had lived two lives, his mental energy was definitely far stronger than that of these ordinary children.
He calmed his mind completely and began to follow the method Shinku Yūhi had explained…
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed…
Only about ten or twenty seconds in total, and Asahi could already feel a strange flow of energy appearing inside his body.
It was very faint and weak, but it was definitely there…
It felt as natural and instinctive as moving his own hands or feet.
Asahi was able to easily guide this flow of energy to travel through the channels inside his body, exactly as he wanted it to…
“Did I…
succeed already?”
Asahi opened his eyes, raised his index finger, and guided the energy inside his body – which was none other than chakra – to flow out from the point at the tip of his finger.
A faint flash of light appeared for just a moment and then vanished…
Yes, chakra was something that could be seen with the naked eye.
The best example of this was the Rasengan – a ball of chakra spinning at incredibly high speeds.
However, to make chakra visible, you usually had to release a very high amount of energy all at once, or concentrate it tightly into a single point.
But that brief flash of light was clearly seen by both Shinku Yūhi and Yūhi, who were watching him closely!
At this moment, both of them had their eyes wide open, their faces filled with complete disbelief and shock…
He succeeded!?
What kind of monstrous talent was this!?
Yūhi’s mouth hung slightly open, making her look rather dazed and confused, but also strangely cute.
Yet inside, her mind was filled with uncontrollable shock.
“How much time has even passed?
Asahi already refined chakra?
Did my eyes just trick me?”
It had taken her more than two whole days, but Asahi had done it in just ten or twenty seconds!
The difference was just way too huge!
Not only did he refine chakra that fast, but he could also control it precisely enough to concentrate it and release it from the tip of his finger?
Shinku Yūhi was also deeply shocked, though what surprised him was slightly different from what surprised Yūhi.
Of course, the fact that Asahi had refined chakra in just ten seconds was shocking enough on its own.
But what amazed him even more was that Asahi, who had just successfully created chakra for the very first time, was already able to control it so precisely that he could gather it and release it exactly where he wanted it?
This was simply unbelievable!
Was this really something a person who had just refined chakra for the first time could possibly do?
This was terrifying natural talent!
Shinku Yūhi was overwhelmed, and he murmured quietly to himself: He learned this all on his own without any teaching or training.
This is the mark of someone born with incredible gifts.
There is no doubt about it – he is definitely a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and not just any ordinary member, but one with truly outstanding natural talent!!
He was now certain – there was a ninety-nine percent chance that Asahi was from the Uzumaki clan, and from the most talented lineage of the clan at that.
There was simply no other way to explain what had just happened…
Being able to control chakra with such precision, without having gone through any special training, was something only possible for someone who had a special physical constitution and was also a true genius.
Take the Hyūga clan, for example.
They were naturally more skilled and talented when it came to controlling chakra than anyone else, which was a direct result of their unique physical traits.
The Uzumaki clan was famous for being masters of sealing techniques, which also required extremely precise control over chakra to be used effectively.
They also possessed a special constitution – otherwise, how could the Uzumaki clan have become the best in the entire ninja world when it came to sealing arts?
Asahi had both a special constitution and outstanding natural talent!
Everything made perfect sense – it all fit together way too well!
Shinku Yūhi felt he had finally uncovered the truth behind everything!
He forced himself to calm down, though his voice still trembled slightly with excitement as he asked, hoping to confirm his thoughts directly from Asahi: “Asahi, are you really already able to control the chakra inside your body as you wish?”
