Chapter 5: Refining Chakra

Isn’t what just happened the best proof?

His name is Uzumaki Menma, not Uzumaki Naruto.

He is a realistic little boy with red hair and gray eyes, not the blond hair and blue eyes in the original book.

Before that, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to enter the ninja school during normal hours. If he couldn't even take the first step as a ninja, how miserable would it be? How tragic it is.

Therefore, now when I heard the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The joy on his numb face really comes from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what Menma was thinking in his heart. Just when he saw Menma's happy smile, the smile on the face of the Third Hokage became stronger. He thought he was getting closer to him again. The relationship between Menma and Menma is even more benevolent to Menma.

"Of course, your age already meets the standards, but before entering the ninja school, there is still a small test. You can only enter if you complete it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Eh? What kind of test is it? Third generation grandfather, I will definitely complete it!"

Menma said confidently.

"Haha, it's the refining of chakra, Xiaomenma, you should know that for a ninja, the most important first step is to learn to master the refining of chakra. Only by mastering this can you enter the realm of ninja. On campus."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gently touched Menma's little head again, then took out a scroll from his arms, placed it on the table, and said with a smile.

"Chakra refining?"

Look at the scroll on the table.

The light in Menma's pupils became more and more beautiful.

This is what he has wanted most in the past five years.

Now that he finally got it, Menma couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and it was directly reflected on his face.

"Yes, don't worry, Third Generation Grandpa, I will definitely achieve it before enrolling next year."

Menma patted her small chest and said confidently.

"Well, grandpa also believes in Omenma."

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned forward slightly, looked at Menma with an encouraging expression and said.

Cultivate feelings from an early age.

Then strengthen the connection step by step.

Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that in the future, this child will definitely become his strongest supporter and will 100% become the successor of the will of fire he taught.

'First generation sir, second generation sir, don't worry, I will definitely protect Konoha, and the fourth generation, Naruto and Menma, I will take good care of it.'

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently in his heart!

Hokage's time is precious.

Even on New Year's Eve, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't be idle.

However, he stayed with Menma for a while longer, and did not leave until dusk came.

Menma maintained a very happy look from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Sarutobi Hiruzen left that the smile on his face slowly faded away.

‘Ninja school? I have finally waited for this moment! ’

Menma gently pinched the scroll on his palm, silently thinking that his next training plan needed to be rearranged.

Chakra!

The official explanation is that it is the product of the perfect combination of physical energy and spiritual energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells of the human body.

Of course, there are contradictory statements in the original work.

Some say that this is an ability inherent in human beings, and that the Immortal of Six Paths only taught the corresponding method of refining it.

It is also said that this is the result of the Sage of Six Paths distributing his chakra to humans for use. In the final analysis, it means that the chakra comes from Kaguya Otsutsuki and the sacred tree fruit.

Which one is the truth?

Human beings now have no way of knowing.

But it doesn't seem that important.

After all, humans have already mastered the method of extracting chakra, which is to extract chakra from their own cells by perfectly combining physical energy and mental energy as mentioned above.

The difference is that only a small percentage of humans can do this.

The vast majority of humans are unable to extract chakra.

This is true even in the five major ninja villages. Every year in the pre-entrance test for ninja schools, a large number of people with civilian backgrounds will be rejected. How can you become a ninja if you can't even refine chakra! ?

As for people from the ninja clan, there is no problem of being kicked out of the ninja school, because before they enter the ninja school, they have already begun to refine chakra in their own family, and ordinary people who cannot refine it are even less likely to go I hit a wall in Ninja School.

For Menma, this problem is even less of a problem.

The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

If you can't extract chakra, isn't that a joke? ?

Although there is interference from the Nine-Tails Chakra.

Menma's chakra refining was not so smooth and stable, but after a day of hard work.

"Is this chakra!?"

In the early morning hours of January 1, Konoha 54.

Menma finally succeeded in extracting his own chakra for the first time.

When I feel that special power.

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Menma's face.

Even if it's just a trace of chakra!

Menma can feel that his "power" is far beyond what it was before.

Of course, this is just a start!

Although it is said that without external forces and any special factors, the chakra limit of any ninja is destined from the beginning.

But this does not mean that from the moment you can extract chakra, your total chakra amount can reach the limit.

And it still requires acquired efforts.

Only then can the total amount of chakra reach its limit.

Where is the key point?

That is in terms of physical energy and mental energy.

The harder you work, the faster you can reach this limit.

I have the blood of the Uzumaki clan, and I have a huge vitality by nature, so I don't need to worry about physical energy.

It is the mental training that must be the focus of my future.

Not to mention that I still have the chakra of the Nine-Tails in my body as the biggest reliance.

'This is finally the most determined step! The next step is to speed up. ’

Menma exhaled a breath of foul air, clenched his hands slightly, and the look in his pupils became slightly fierce at this moment.

The plan to change began.

In the following period of time.

Menma devoted all his time to the steady refinement and control of chakra. Not to mention how high the level needs to be, at least it must reach the level where it can be used initially.

For Menma.

Time is very tight!

It is now January of the 54th year of Konoha.

There are only six years left before the original plot begins!

He must obtain the minimum self-protection ability in these six years, and he can't spend these most critical six years as leisurely as Naruto in the original.
