Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

Three days later, Qingming received the notification of his promotion to Chunin.

After registering at the Hokage building, he received two sets of standard Konoha Chunin vests.

From this moment on, he was officially a Chunin.

Stepping out of the Hokage building, Qingming paused for a moment and suddenly spoke to himself, "Since I'm out, I might as well visit the clan's library!"

"I wonder if my application has been approved?" he thought as he walked.

As the saying goes, "No rules, no standards."

In the Uchiha clan, whether it's a promotion in ninja rank, awakening the Sharingan, or further evolving the Sharingan, one can earn a chance to enter the clan's library for free.

During this time, one could read any of the books and scrolls there, but if one wanted to take something out, they could only take one.

Since Qingming had just been promoted to Chunin, awakened his Sharingan, and even evolved it to the two-tomoe stage recently, theoretically, he should be able to take out three books or scrolls from the library.

Sure enough, when Qingming arrived at the library and inquired, he was immediately informed that his application had been approved.

Without wasting any time, he requested to enter.

The Uchiha ninja guarding the library didn't refuse; after a thorough inspection, he allowed Qingming to pass.

Upon entering the vast library, Qingming finally understood what it meant to have heritage.

Aside from some secret transmissions, this place contained almost all the books and scrolls collected by the Uchiha clan over thousands of years.

If Qingming had been worried about not finding suitable ninjutsu before, he was no longer concerned.

With such a vast collection, finding a few techniques that absorbed chakra or had a large attack range shouldn't be too difficult, right?

However, reality proved that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Despite the abundance of books, they were not organized systematically.

Thus, finding specific techniques wasn't easy.

Fortunately, Qingming had a clear goal, and with the assistance of his Sharingan, he eventually found what he was looking for just before his reading time was up.

First was a technique for absorbing chakra—Chakra Absorption Technique.

Indeed, this was the same technique used by the Sound ninja, Red Bronze Armor, during the Chunin exam years later against Sasuke.

At first, Qingming thought this was a unique technique created by Orochimaru.

He hadn't expected to see it here.

This meant that the so-called Chakra Absorption Technique couldn't have been created by Orochimaru.

This could be inferred from the technique itself.

The biggest flaw of this technique was its incredibly slow chakra absorption rate.

For instance, during the battle between Red Bronze Armor and Sasuke, even though Sasuke had already been severely weakened by the curse mark and had just fought a fierce battle, Red Bronze Armor still couldn't drain Sasuke's chakra quickly. In the end, he was even countered and defeated.

This was just too weak.

Furthermore, the requirement for physical contact to activate it made this technique practically useless.

If he could touch the opponent and control them for a period, why not just end it with a single blow instead of absorbing chakra?

Given such significant flaws, how could Orochimaru, who pursued perfection, possibly create this technique?

Even if he did, he would likely have put a lot of effort into improving it rather than leaving it as it was.

Qingming speculated that Orochimaru probably stumbled upon this technique by chance, researched it for a while, and then casually handed it to Red Bronze Armor, who ended up treating it as a treasure.

However, he had to admit that this technique could be a treasure in his hands.

The reason was simple: the framework of the technique was complete, and its intent was high.

This meant he could improve its upper limits by practicing its proficiency, achieving results that even the creator might not have imagined.

For example, take the "Mind Reflection Technique."

This technique was initially created just to help Uchiha ninjas awaken the Sharingan.

But as Qingming continued to upgrade it, it began to play a significant role in the evolution of the Sharingan, something the original creators likely never anticipated.

So, the flaws of the Chakra Absorption Technique didn't worry him; as long as he kept upgrading it, those flaws would eventually fade away.

In due time, he might even be able to forcibly plunder the chakra of Tailed Beasts using this technique, realizing what the original creator had dreamed of.

Indeed, the original intention of this technique was to convert the chakra of Tailed Beasts for personal use.

That was why Qingming stated that this technique had high intent.

Unfortunately, its actual effectiveness fell far short of expectations, ultimately rendering it somewhat useless.

Recollecting his thoughts, Qingming looked at the second book.

It didn't contain any ninjutsu but rather some insights on developing a second chakra nature.

Yes, Qingming planned to develop a second chakra nature, specifically Wind Release, once he perfected "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique."

He had also set aside the third choice for a Wind Release technique called "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

Although this was only a C-rank technique, its power was strongly correlated with the amount of chakra input.

As long as the user's capability was sufficient, its coverage could reach hundreds or even thousands of square meters, and its might should not be underestimated.

This would effectively fill the gap in his lack of large-area attack methods.

Indeed, Qingming had not found the expected "Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishment" and "Fire Release: Great Fire Dispersal" in the library.

He didn't know if they were hidden away in some corner or if they had been taken by Uchiha Madara.

In any case, he didn't see them.

This was also one of the reasons he planned to develop Wind Release as his second chakra nature.

After putting away the three books, Qingming no longer lingered. After a thorough inspection, he left the library and headed straight home.

Once in his training room, Qingming reflected on the village's arrangements.

According to the notice, he would have about a month of downtime.

After a month, he would return to the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

Clearly, the village had deliberately left some time for these newly promoted Chunins to enhance their strength.

From this perspective, the situation on the front lines likely wasn't at its most urgent yet.

Otherwise, not to mention leaving time for them to improve, they would be lucky if they weren't pushed to their limits.

However, regardless, having a month to rest was certainly a good thing.

This was just the right time for him to upgrade several skills, giving him ample opportunity to further enhance his strength.

With this thought in mind, Qingming stopped overthinking and began his training.
