Creak~
The door closed again.
The sadness on Seii's face instantly vanished. Although he had rged with the original owner's mories, he didn't have much emotional attachnt to the 'parents' he had never t.
However, for the sake of this compensation, Seii decided to visit their graves and offer flowers every year from now on.
Of course, that was only if he could survive.
Otherwise, nothing else mattered.
He opened the envelope and counted the money inside. There was a total of one million and one thousand ryō.
"Not bad, no one skimd off the top!"
The original owner's parents were both Chunin. After their deaths, the compensation was five hundred thousand ryō each.
Adding that to the one thousand ryō monthly living allowance from the clan, it amounted to one million and one thousand ryō, not a penny more, not a penny less.
But thinking about it, it made sense. If even this kind of money was embezzled, the clan would have no cohesion left.
Moreover, one million ryō might seem like a lot, but it wasn't.
In Konoha, the reward for a D-rank mission was five thousand to fifty thousand ryō, a C-rank mission was thirty thousand to one hundred thousand ryō, a B-rank mission was eighty thousand to two hundred thousand ryō, an A-rank mission could reach one hundred fifty thousand to one million ryō, and an S-rank mission was over one million ryō.
Chunin could take on C-rank and B-rank missions, while Jonin could take on B-rank and A-rank missions. Even with the village's commission and sharing with teammates, earning one million ryō wasn't difficult.
As for the one thousand ryō living allowance...
A bowl of ran cost sixty ryō. If he ate ran for all three als a day, it would be five thousand four hundred ryō a month.
And that was just for 'food'.
For ninjas, the biggest expense was cultivation.
Therefore, the one thousand ryō living allowance was only enough to keep Seii from starving. Investing in cultivation was out of the question.
He had been training under such circumstances for over a week.
Now it was different. With this one million ryō, he could buy so secret dicines to aid his training.
With this in mind, Seii left his room and went straight to the pharmacy run by the Nara clan.
In Konoha, the Nara clan had the highest achievents in dicine. Their products were synonymous with quality.
However, after browsing around, Seii found that the most useful thing for him was actually Soldier Pills.
Yes, the kind of Soldier Pills that could replace a al with just one pill.
They could replenish all the nutrients the human body needed and were usually used as rations for ninjas on missions.
So special Soldier Pills could even temporarily enhance a ninja's chakra.
However, Seii didn't need that kind of Soldier Pills. He just needed the ones that could be eaten as a al.
This way, he could extend the training ti for the 'Chakra Refinent Technique', then use the extra chakra to practice the three basic techniques, ultimately creating a synergistic effect and increasing the proficiency of multiple skills simultaneously.
He imdiately put his plan into action. Seii took out his money and, under the shopkeeper's strange gaze, bought a large quantity of Soldier Pills in one go.
It was fortunate that it was Soldier Pills. If it were other supplies, it might have attracted the village's attention.
However, just in case, Seii didn't plan to eat out for a while.
This way, others would at most think he was diligently training and using Soldier Pills as al replacents.
...
Back at ho.
Seii opened the panel.
The familiar light blue screen appeared in his vision:
[Na: Uchiha Seii
Age: 10 years old
Physique: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 17 (131→159)
Bloodline: Sharingan - Unawakened (51/100)
Skills: Chakra Refinent Technique: lv0 (8/100) → lv0 (53/100)
Clone Technique: lv0 (46/100) → lv1 (2/200)
*Transformation Technique: lv0 (77/100)
*Substitution Technique: lv0 (71/100)
Basic Taijutsu: lv0 (35/100) → lv1 (16/200)
Ninja Tool Throwing: lv1 (29/200) → lv2 (10/500)]
In the past week, he had persisted in practicing the 'Chakra Refinent Technique' for four hours every night. Most of the ti, he could only gain six proficiency points, but occasionally, he would get an extra point.
So, after seven days, he had gained a total of forty-five proficiency points.
This raised his 'Chakra Refinent Technique' from lv0 (8/100) to lv0 (53/100), already halfway there.
During this ti, his chakra limit had increased by 28 points, from 131 to 159. Although it still wasn't much, at least he saw hope.
Seii believed that as long as he persisted, he would eventually beco a 'Chakra Jin' or even a 'Chakra Ton'!
Furthermore, he used all two hundred points of chakra recovered from practicing the 'Chakra Refinent Technique' every day to practice ninjutsu.
In the first two days, he focused and grinded the 'Clone Technique' to lv1, successfully mastering it and able to create an illusory figure.
Afterward, as planned, he muddled through the weekly test.
However, after the 'Clone Technique' reached lv1, it encountered the sa problem as 'Ninja Tool Throwing' - he could only gain one proficiency point per practice session.
Seii knew this was the limit of the original owner's level. From now on, he had to rely on himself.
So, he turned to practicing the 'Transformation Technique' and 'Substitution Technique'.
Thanks to the experience and mories left by the original owner, the training speed of these two techniques was no slower than the 'Clone Technique' before mastery.
Basically, he could gain two to three proficiency points with each practice session.
Therefore, in five days, he had grinded the proficiency of 'Transformation Technique' and 'Substitution Technique' to lv0 (77/100) and lv0 (71/100) respectively!
At this rate, it wouldn't take more than two or three days for these two skills to reach mastery.
By then, the original owner's legacy would be almost exhausted.
As for 'Basic Taijutsu'...
In the past week, Sugiki Kazuto had organized three more sparring sessions.
Taking advantage of these opportunities, his 'Basic Taijutsu' had successfully reached mastery and even reached lv1 (16/200), but that was the limit.
From now on, he needed to practice steadily.
Finally, there was 'Ninja Tool Throwing'. Its progress was still the fastest, now at Lv2 (10/500)!
At this stage, he could hit the bullseye of a stationary target within ten ters with one hundred percent accuracy.
This level was no less than so Genin who had graduated two or three years ago.
However, 'Ninja Tool Throwing' ultimately had its limitations.
Seii estimated that if he couldn't awaken the Sharingan, he could at most increase its proficiency to lv3.
After all, practicing now required him to hit the bullseye of a fifteen-ter target, otherwise, he wouldn't gain any proficiency at all.
And it took a whopping five hundred proficiency points to go from Lv2 to Lv3.
One could imagine that once he maxed it out, his skill would be comparable to that of an average Chunin or even a high-level Chunin.
Unless he had the Sharingan to assist him and perform fancy tricks with ninja tools...
Otherwise, using this thod to kill soone was almost impossible, except for ambushes, group attacks, or bullying those much weaker than himself.
'But the Sharingan...'
Seii glanced at the (51/100) progress on the panel and fell silent.
In the past week or so, he had tried to increase the Sharingan's awakening progress but to no avail, despite trying several thods.
The progress seed stuck, not budging at all.
However, Seii hadn't given up. Since the panel could display it, it ant the progress could be pushed forward; he just hadn't found the right thod yet.
