"Yes! If everything goes as smoothly as Fuyu Shirou said, that would be great!" She had invested so much effort into this new drug. It would be such a waste if it could only be used within the Clan.
"Don't worry, Sister Mika! Both the Village and the Clan will benefit from this. I believe neither the Third Hokage nor Patriarch Chongshan would refuse such a good thing!"
For any matter to succeed, it must involve multiple parties with vested interests. If a mutually satisfactory result cannot be achieved, it often ends up fizzling out.
"Uchiha Chongshan" is the current Clan leader, a graduate of the Ninja Academy. After Uchiha Sakae, the Second's disciple, died young, he took over as Clan leader.
Over the years, he has been actively maintaining the relationship between the Village and the Clan. He has also been working hard to mitigate the negative impact caused by the Clan's 'Rogue Ninja' ancestor, hoping to return the Clan to the center of Konoha Village's power.
Speaking of the Clan's 'Dance King' ancestor, he was truly a headache. After Konoha Village was established, you defected, and then a few years later, you even controlled the Nine-Tails to battle the First Hokage in a showdown known throughout the ninja world—and you lost...
The impact on the Clan was quite severe. Under the deliberate guidance of certain individuals, the three Mangekyō Sharingan users within the Clan erupted into an unprecedented civil war.
The Clan's strength plummeted, and the Second seized this opportunity. Using the actions of that ancestor as an excuse, he kicked the Clan out of the center of power in Konoha.
Uchiha Fuyu Shirou had every reason to believe that if Konoha Village had been established for more than ten years and the major ninja clans had truly settled in, the Uchiha Clan's fate would not have been as simple as just being removed from the center of power. Even so, the Clan received a 'time bomb'.
After dinner, Uchiha Mika was about to head to her study to work on her new drug when she was stopped by Uchiha Fuyu Shirou, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Wait a moment, Sister Mika. I have something I'd like to ask you!"
"Eh! Fuyu Shirou hasn't asked me any questions since a year ago! Is there something you don't understand?"
With the knowledge from his previous life, except for the first half-year after he came to this world, he slowly read through the family's collection of books and Uchiha Mika's old Ninja Academy textbooks. His understanding of chakra, this supernatural power, had surpassed that of most ninjas.
"It's about Physical Enhancement. As a special medical ninja, I believe Sister Mika can give me good advice in this area!"
"Physical Enhancement? But considering Fuyu Shirou's age now, it's still too early to think about these things..."
"I just want to do some detailed research in advance to prepare for the real activation of my body in the future."
Hearing this, Uchiha Mika was not surprised. This child always thought things through thoroughly and acted with a clear plan.
"I see! So what questions does Fuyu Shirou have that he can share with his big sister?" She slowly sat down on the sofa, pulled Uchiha Fuyu Shirou into her arms, and affectionately nuzzled him.
Smelling her refreshing scent, Uchiha Fuyu Shirou felt somewhat helpless. Although he enjoyed this, where was his dignity as a man?
He had no improper thoughts. As the youngest sister in the family, Uchiha Mika lived with her uncle after their parents passed away. With her brother's marriage, she felt like she was becoming a third wheel in the family and moved in with him. The two of them had a sense of mutual dependence. Uchiha Fuyu Shirou also gradually came to see her as his true family.
He did not insist on living alone like other reincarnated individuals.
He was not afraid of his secrets being discovered.
With the experience of two lifetimes, he knew too well the loneliness and isolation of living alone. Humans are social creatures, and both men and women need the company of family, friends, and loved ones.
"Actually, Fuyu Shirou's daily practice of extracting and condensing chakra is the simplest form of Physical Enhancement!"
As Uchiha Mika explained, Uchiha Fuyu Shirou gained a deeper understanding of Physical Enhancement, this advanced application of chakra.
Physical Enhancement involves using chakra, this supernatural force, to nourish and stimulate the body or body tissues to achieve a strengthening effect.
The Inuzuka Clan in the original story is a good example.
Their members use chakra to nourish their olfactory systems, giving them superhuman olfactory abilities. They can also use chakra to further stimulate their olfactory systems when needed, significantly enhancing their capabilities.
However, chakra is not something that can be conjured out of thin air. Just as a person cannot lift themselves by pulling their own hair, ninjas cannot use their chakra, which is composed of 'physical energy' and 'mental energy,' to nourish their entire body on a large scale.
They can only accumulate chakra bit by bit through 'eating' and 'sleeping,' the most primitive methods, to strengthen a specific part or system of the body.
Premature exposure to Physical Enhancement, due to lack of experience and control, can easily lead to irreparable mistakes.
Overworking the body in childhood can have irreversible consequences for future growth and development, with significant impacts in adulthood. Therefore, major ninja clans do not teach this to their children too early.
They usually start gradually around the age of ten...
This is the general path for a ninja to become stronger. After the age of ten, they gradually accumulate chakra, slowly nourishing and stimulating their bodies to enhance their strength.
In contrast, 'Jinchuriki,' a special existence, use the chakra leaking from the Tailed Beast sealed within their bodies to naturally activate their flesh, comprehensively enhancing all aspects of their physical abilities.
Extracting chakra and allowing it to naturally disperse throughout the body follows the same principle, but the amount of dispersed chakra is too small.
One method uses self-extracted chakra as energy, carefully controlling it step by step. The other uses the chakra leaking from the Tailed Beast as energy, allowing it to naturally disperse throughout the body.
These are the two main methods of Physical Enhancement. One is slow and meticulous but highly targeted. The other is rough and uncontrolled but comprehensive.
Reflecting on the original story, it makes sense.
The special abilities used by the 'Jinchuriki' of various villages, such as Lava Release, Boil Release, and Sand Release, all come from the chakra leaking from the Tailed Beast, which activates and transforms their bodies.
"So, Fuyu Shirou, there's no need to be too eager. Wait a few more years until your body grows a bit more. Then, you can gradually begin this long-term ninja training..."
