Chapter 2

After dinner, Yayun reviewed the theoretical knowledge his teacher had taught him, then immediately began to try to refine chakra. As an orphan, he could only rely on himself, and in the extreme lack of security, he had to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

Chakra, a mixture of mental and cellular energy, originates from the deep connection between the soul and the 13 billion cells in the body.

His mind sank into his body, feeling the flow of energy within. A thin thread of chakra was born in his lower abdomen, beginning to circulate within his body.

Everyone in this world has a certain amount of chakra in their body, but only those who can mobilize and accumulate chakra possess the qualifications to be a ninja.

It wasn't until the outside was pitch black that Yayun opened his eyes. The thin thread of chakra in his body seemed to dissipate at any moment, the result of two hours of effort. Although his parents had given him the talent to become a ninja, this talent was pitifully weak.

【Personal Information】

Name: Jing Yayun

Age: 7

Stamina: 3.4 (Endurance, Resistance, Recovery)

Strength: 2.3 (Weightlifting, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 3.1 (Nerve Reaction, Running)

Intelligence: 4.2 (Learning Ability, Mental Resistance)

Chakra: 0.05 (10 points to become a genin)

【Personal Skills】

Passive: Chakra Refinement Technique 'Acceleration'

Gold Coins: 550

As he practiced the Chakra Refinement Technique, a new skill interface appeared in the frustrating mini-game. Yayun's mind touched 'Acceleration' lightly.

"Do you want to spend 100 gold coins to accelerate this item? (Note: The acceleration process is irreversible and cannot be refunded.)"

"Confirm."

"100 gold coins deducted."

"May the player enjoy the game and create happiness with heart."

With the mechanical electronic sound, the thin thread of chakra in Yayun's body suddenly multiplied several times, as if he had condensed chakra for 24 hours straight.

It's important to know that before the age of 10, the safe range for daily chakra refinement to prevent physical depletion is about three hours. The major ninja clans, with their Otsutsuki bloodline and secret medicines, can double this time, but they cannot refine chakra for 24 hours straight.

The grind mini-game, YYDS!

'Acceleration'!

400 gold coins were instantly deducted, and the amount of chakra in his body doubled again. Without the need for a large amount of food, without fatigue, without overexertion, the chakra increased dramatically...

The surging chakra constantly reminded Yayun that this was not an illusion, but his own... Jing Yayun's talent!

In a few seconds, his chakra level had already reached 3.

Earning 150 gold coins daily, he could accelerate once... continuous practice for 24 hours equals 0.6 units of chakra.

Thus, in 10 days, he would have the chakra level of a regular genin, but he would not have the combat power of a genin, and he could not compare with the geniuses who have endless chakra.

"I'm still too weak."

Yayun turned on the desk lamp, took out the notes he had taken during the day, and began to work on the third task. Of course, he also needed to refer to the book "The Great Ninja: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Biography."

"Will of Fire..."

"Proposed by the First Hokage, improved by the Second Hokage... and promoted by the Third Hokage. Today, after listening to the Third Hokage's lecture, I had many insights."

"The Third Hokage's lecture made me realize that young people like us are the future hope of Konoha Village. The older generation must trust and protect us. The sacrifices of the older generation are not in vain; they will inspire the young to become the hope for Konoha's rise."

"I have decided to start learning and training hard for Konoha's prosperity from tomorrow..."

"Summary: Where the leaves flutter, the fire burns. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

Stretching lazily, Yayun placed the "Insights and Analysis of the Will of Fire" in the most prominent position on the desk.

This will surely be of great use in the future.

It was still early, so Yayun found the ninja technique notes left by his parents. The two heavily damaged and somewhat yellowed notebooks were their family's greatest foundation.

Several methods of practicing jutsu. His father was a water chakra ninja, and his mother was an earth chakra ninja, while Yayun himself was a dual water and earth chakra ninja.

Water Bullet, a C-rank jutsu, derived from the B-rank water jutsu Water Dragon Bullet. The hand seals are three: Monkey, Sheep, Ox, forming a fist-sized water ball to collide with the enemy.

Earth Flow Wall, a B-rank defensive jutsu. The hand seals are three: Dragon, Snake, End, injecting earth chakra into the ground to form a defensive barrier.

After a brief thought, Yayun began to read the training method for the Water Bullet seriously, as the best defense is to crush the enemy.

On the other hand, his current chakra was not enough to support the use of the Earth Flow Wall. After half an hour, feeling his learning efficiency decrease, Yayun claimed the reward for Task 3.

Familiar energy surged from the depths of his mind, like being in a hot spring. After his spirit was reinvigorated, Yayun lowered his head and continued to practice the Water Bullet.

With the hand seals guiding the chakra flow through Monkey, End, Ox, a ball-sized water ball appeared in Yayun's palm for a second, then shattered.

Failure.

Another attempt, failure.

Failure, continuous failure.

Five consecutive failures.

Eight consecutive failures.

"ATMD, I'll try again another day!"

Feeling frustrated, Yayun pulled out a kunai from his side and threw it at the circular target on the wall. The kunai drew a nearly perfect curve in the air.

It landed steadily on the target, but far from the bullseye... He really didn't know how the Uchiha clan could make kunai so versatile...

The Third Great Ninja War, seven years later...

There's still time.

Lying on the hard wooden bed, Yayun gradually fell asleep, with a cold, sharp kunai under his pillow. There was never any safety in this world.

The next day, Yayun opened the 【Daily Tasks】 as usual.

"1. The day begins in the morning."

Complete a 5-kilometer jog before 7:30 AM.

Reward: 50 gold coins, 0.1 strength

"2. Burning Red."

Shout to the red-haired girl that red hair is the most beautiful color.

Reward: 50 gold coins, 0.1 stamina

"3. Diligence Compensates for Mediocrity."

Summarize the process of chakra refinement.

Reward: 50 gold coins, 0.1 intelligence

On the way to the morning jog, Yayun recalled the second daily task. The red-haired girl should be Uzumaki Kushina... Is it really safe to approach the Nine-Tails jinchuriki rashly?

The Anbu or Root must be "protecting" this Nine-Tails jinchuriki 24/7. Is it worth taking the risk for 50 gold coins?

It's worth a try.

"Yayun, Yayun, what are you thinking?"

Miyako worriedly followed behind Yayun. Since his parents' death, he had become increasingly isolated and cold towards her. As his only friend, Miyako felt it was her duty to help him overcome his difficulties. The girl's eyes gradually became determined, as such a small obstacle was nothing.

"Ah..."

"I mean... red hair is the most beautiful color!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the red-haired girl sitting on a high stool at Ichiraku Ramen, eating noodles. Yayun made a split-second decision and shouted.

"Task 2, completed."
