I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 22 My cultivation path is to save money

In the woods behind the border of Konoha.

"Anko, you need to pay attention to this part of this ninjutsu. The hand seals for Hidden Shadow Snake Hands are Tiger-Rat-Snake-Rat-Tiger, but everyone's constitution is different, and the rhythm of chakra mobilization is also different. There are also differences in the constitutions of men and women."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru activated his Sharingan and stared intently at Anko, stroking her soft belly with one hand while explaining something.

Ninjutsu cannot be activated simply by knowing the hand seals; otherwise, with a ninja's memory, memorizing the opponent's hand seals would be a piece of cake.

The hand seals corresponding to ninjutsu also mobilize the chakra channels within the body. Forming hand seals is about mobilizing the chakra flowing through the body's channels, allowing it to reach a suitable position, and then unleashing the ninjutsu.

The more chakra meridians each hand seal can activate within the body, the different levels, difficulties, and power of the ninjutsu will be.

Each ninjutsu is different; some ninjutsu only require three chakra points, while others require eight. Therefore, the same hand seals can produce vastly different effects.

"Anko, your female physique is different from mine and the teacher's, so naturally I learn faster." At this moment, Uchiha Yoru transformed into a teacher with a smile on his face, and Anko showed a look of realization.

Due to the differences in physical constitution and the strength of meridians between men and women, the same ninjutsu, such as forming a hand seal, can achieve 80% power when Uchiha Yoru mobilizes the chakra of these three meridians to a certain position under this hand seal, while Anko, with her female constitution, can only achieve 60% power.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru sighed slightly. No wonder Kakashi had the title of "Copy Ninja" in his previous life. In the original work, when Sasuke fought Deidara, he could see chakra when his three-tomoe Sharingan was trained to its peak.

Similarly, the three-tomoe Sharingan can detect the flow of chakra in the meridians outside the human body. Combined with its extreme observational ability and abnormal dynamic vision, this is the key to the three-tomoe Sharingan's ability to copy ninjutsu.

However, he couldn't do more profound ninjutsu, such as the Chidori he learned. This A-rank ninjutsu requires mobilizing deeper levels of chakra within the body, which the Sharingan cannot see through, so it is naturally impossible to copy.

"Remember to call me senior sister, even if you are stronger than me."

At this moment, Anko was clearly grumbling and sulking. After all, it had only been three months, and it was obvious that the other party's understanding of ninjutsu had far surpassed hers. She even knew that the other party's strength had made a leap forward. As expected, the Uchiha after awakening his Sharingan was the real Uchiha.

Seeing Anko's disgruntled pout, Uchiha Yoru smiled and shook his head, saying, "Anko, have you thought about your future career path?"

Seeing the frown on Anko's face, he knew that this girl was probably just blindly following in Orochimaru's footsteps, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Jiraiya and Orochimaru are both ninjutsu-type ninjas, but they have different focuses. Tsunade is a medical taijutsu close combat type. The Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu, but it is also a speed type. White Fang is also in this category, but he is a close combat type."

After explaining a lot, it was clear how much effort Uchiha Yoru put into getting rid of this 200,000 yen debt, and he even looked at Anko with a concerned expression.

"For example, look at me, I've already found my direction. Those with Sharingan will make the most of their advantages, and I've decided to pursue ninjutsu and taijutsu from now on."

Uchiha Yoru wasn't lying about this. In fact, he was secretly lamenting as he squinted his eyes, realizing that he still didn't have enough money at home. If he had enough funds, he would be an all-rounder, but now he could only choose the best and most cost-effective path.

Exchanging ninjutsu within the system requires gold, and exchanging anything requires money. Therefore, in order to save money, he can only take a path that has high development potential and can save money.

He already has the Fire Release from his clan, and he already has the A-rank Lightning Release technique Chidori. He'll get a defensive ninjutsu later. He's not planning to exchange for any more ninjutsu. He just needs to exchange for one more technique that can train his physique, like the Raikage's Lightning Release taijutsu. Tsk tsk, one ninjutsu can be practiced until old age. It's a jack-of-all-trades and saves money.

Just as Uchiha Yoru was planning his future path to save money, Mitarashi Anko frowned slightly, her little head constantly pondering what path she should take in the future.

Suddenly, as Mitarashi Anko lowered her head to think, she felt a large hand on her abdomen. Her earlobes instantly turned red, but a hint of anger rose on her face. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Is it better to touch me or red?"

"They each have their own merits." Acting on instinct, he blurted out his true feelings. Instantly, Uchiha Yoru saw Anko's angry, biting eyes and immediately revealed a righteous and indignant expression.

"Red Bean, what are you thinking? I'm doing this to better sense the flow of chakra in your body. Your thoughts are not normal."

Having clearly taken advantage of her, he now acts all righteous and criticizes her, which infuriates Hongdou, who bares her little tiger teeth and grits her teeth as she says, "Fine! Then tell me, which path should I take from now on?"

In the later stages of ninja training, one cannot develop in all aspects, otherwise one will only be mediocre in all aspects. Only a super genius can excel in all aspects. Even ordinary geniuses need to find a main direction to develop in.

Seeing Anko's question through gritted teeth, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes, recalling Anko from the original story.

Mitarashi Anko graduated at age 10 and became a genin, and was promoted to chunin at age 12. Later, at the beginning of the original work, she was a special jonin of the village, which means that the once genius Anko became mediocre later on.

However, Uchiha Yoru was very clear about Anko's talent at the moment; otherwise, how could Orochimaru, with his temperament, have taken in a mediocre disciple?

It can be inferred that after Orochimaru's defection, Anko had no one to teach her anymore. Coupled with being implicated and suffering psychological blows, the once dazzling genius ended up as a special Jonin.

"Red Bean, tell me, why did Orochimaru-sensei take you as his disciple in the first place?"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's casual question stunned Anko. After frowning and pondering for a moment, she whispered, "Orochimaru once said that I have more chakra than my peers, and I also have good talent in chakra control."

To be praised by Orochimaru for having a large amount of chakra and good control, one must definitely be considered a genius.

Thinking of this, and looking at Anko's youthful and innocent face, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile. Although he was hiding something, he had to admit that Anko was indeed a warm-hearted girl.

"That settles it then. What are you still confused about? Orochimaru-sensei and Jiraiya-sama are both ninjutsu-type ninjas. What are you still confused about? Just focus on ninjutsu and use taijutsu as a supplement."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru casually smiled and said, while Anko, seemingly oblivious to the situation, suddenly realized what was happening.

I'm looking forward to reading my new book; I'll try to get it recommended this week.
