Just as Uchiha Tatsuki felt he was truly a genius, his grandfather, Uchiha Kenta, also asked him about his chakra refinement.
“So, Tatsuki, tell me, how did it go? Did you manage to refine chakra?”
He asked, looking at him with a hint of anticipation. The same anticipation shone in the eyes of his great-grandfather beside him.
There was no doubt they were both hoping for good news, and Tatsuki didn’t disappoint his elders, replying, “I did. It happened very quickly.”
While he didn’t plan to tell his elders about his Mangekyo Sharingan yet, there was no need to hide something like refining chakra.
He needed to showcase his talent in front of them. Only then would he gain their attention, receive better development resources, and ultimately, his plan to control the Uchiha clan would be easier to execute.
“Quickly? How quickly?”
The older man immediately pressed for more information.
“It was very fast. Well, I just wanted to try, and then bam! I refined chakra immediately.”
He made a vague hand gesture, as if to say it was that simple.
“What!?”
The two elders exchanged glances, surprise evident in their eyes.
“Hahaha, my son truly is a genius!”
Uchiha Hikaku burst into laughter. In the next moment, Tatsuki felt himself lifted, then engulfed in his grandfather’s arms.
“Is it really that exaggerated?”
His grandfather’s reaction was unexpected. Just refining chakra, and it was this big of a deal? If he were to tell them about his Mangekyo Sharingan, he couldn’t even imagine the scene.
“Refining chakra on your first try, at such a speed, even within our clan, is incredibly rare. And Tatsuki, you haven’t even reached four years old yet.”
Seeing his grandson’s confusion, Uchiha Kenta explained the significance of refining chakra on the first attempt.
Generally, even in the Uchiha clan, a prestigious ninja clan, when clan members first start refining chakra, at the age of five or six, it’s still difficult to succeed on the first try.
It takes a day, a week, or even a month, that’s the norm.
And this is in the case of the Uchiha, a thousand-year-old ninja clan with bloodline limits. For the descendants of ordinary ninjas, refining chakra for the first time often takes months, even half a year or longer.
Those even worse off are the children of ordinary people, where there haven’t been any ninjas in their ancestors, or at least the recent generations. Most of them need to spend one or two years, or even three years.
The reason for the maximum three years is that after three years, around the age of 10, if they still haven’t managed to refine chakra, it means they simply don’t have the potential to become a ninja.
The speed of refining chakra on the first try reflects the level of chakra affinity of a ninja.
The less time it takes, the higher the chakra affinity, and the higher the chakra affinity, the easier it will be to learn chakra control in the future.
For a ninja, the finesse of chakra control is a critical parameter for measuring their strength.
Excellent chakra control allows ninjas to learn jutsu faster, release jutsu better, and achieve extraordinary power with minimal chakra consumption.
In short, it’s a vital ability for a ninja.
And this crucial ability, the talent needed, is predetermined from the moment of refining chakra, no, from the moment of birth.
Even with diligent training, one can only try to compensate. To surpass limitations, the cost is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Besides, don’t geniuses know how to work hard too?
“So that’s how it is. Refining chakra has so many aspects. It seems my genius level is even higher than I thought!”
After listening to his grandfather’s explanation, Tatsuki realized that aside from the Mangekyo Sharingan, he seemed to be exceptionally talented in other areas.
He had never heard of chakra affinity before. It must be a concept unique to this world. But it was easy to understand, especially its impact on chakra control. He knew that.
Medical ninjutsu, seal-less ninjutsu, even modified ninjutsu and original jutsu, all require strong chakra control as their foundation.
“As a transmigrator, I might not have the assistance of a system, but the world has given me incredible talent.”
Uchiha Tatsuki’s large eyes shone with light. He realized that his future path seemed brighter and brighter.
“Come, child, show us how you refine chakra.”
Uchiha Hikaku placed the young boy on the ground beside him, asking him to refine chakra.
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Tatsuki, but they needed confirmation.
“Alright!”
Tatsuki sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, calming his excitement about discovering his latest super talent. Then he closed his eyes.
