As soon as the words fell, Ning Feng saw Uchiha Itachi in the distance reveal a standard, sunny smile.
"Come over quickly, Feng. Father is going to teach you the Uchiha Clan's chakra extraction technique today!"
The warm scene before him made Ning Feng feel momentarily dazed.
In his previous life, Ning Feng had been an otaku who lost both parents early on. He never imagined that he would experience even a trace of familial warmth inside an online game.
But when he thought about how the Uchiha Clan would soon head toward the Night of the Massacre, a faint sense of unease still rose in his heart.
Especially after that night, both Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke would walk completely different paths in life.
Of course, worry was one thing—but since he had already descended into the Uchiha Clan and become one of its members, he had to make full use of this identity to cultivate quickly and raise his strength.
With that thought, Ning Feng hurried over to Uchiha Itachi and the others.
At the same time, he couldn't help noticing that Konoha was almost identical to the original work—practically a 100% restoration.
The only difference was that this Konoha was far larger than in the original series. Ninja and civilians filled the streets everywhere, and even with players constantly descending in flashes of light, the village showed no signs of overcrowding.
When he reached them, the current Uchiha Clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, smiled and spoke:
"Uchiha Feng, you've now reached the age where you can begin cultivating ninjutsu."
"Our Uchiha Clan is an extremely ancient clan. Decades ago, together with Lord Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, we founded the Hidden Leaf Village. The name of the Uchiha Clan has since resounded throughout the entire ninja world."
"I hope that after you begin cultivating ninjutsu, you will not disgrace the glory of the Uchiha Clan."
As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku handed Ning Feng an object resembling a scroll.
A clear system notification immediately rang out:
"Congratulations! Because you chose the Uchiha Clan, you have successfully activated the personal main quest [Ninjutsu Cultivation]!"
"Do you accept this quest?
(The quest will automatically determine activation and completion based on the player's performance.)"
Before Ning Feng's eyes, a bouncing scroll animation appeared in the quest panel, detailing the quest and rewards just like a typical game interface.
"Thank you, Father Fugaku."
Ning Feng quickly accepted the scroll.
If he wasn't mistaken, the system was judging things based on his actions.
Sure enough, the moment he took the scroll, the system's crisp voice rang out again:
"Congratulations! You have successfully accepted the quest [Ninjutsu Cultivation]!"
Ignoring the system prompt, Ning Feng immediately opened the scroll Fugaku had handed him.
[Uchiha Chakra Extraction Technique]:
An exclusive extraction technique belonging to the Uchiha Clan. When using this technique, the user can extract 1,000 points of chakra within 5 seconds, and at the same time increase their maximum chakra by 2,000 points.
(Ordinary chakra extraction techniques can only extract 500 chakra within 5 seconds and increase the chakra cap by 1,000 points.)
If Ning Feng hadn't seen the Uchiha technique, he would never have been able to appreciate just how terrifying it was.
But with this comparison alone, it was clear how absurdly powerful the Uchiha Clan's chakra extraction technique truly was.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Feng carefully chose [Use] on the Uchiha Chakra Extraction Technique.
As an experienced gamer, he naturally knew how to use such items.
Sure enough, the moment he clicked Use, an unprecedented flood of memories surged into his mind like a bolt of lightning.
In just a short moment, his mind was filled with every detail and method of the Uchiha Chakra Extraction Technique.
"Congratulations! You have successfully learned [Uchiha Chakra Extraction Technique]!"
"Your chakra cap has increased to 2,000 points!"
"Your current chakra has reached 2,000 points!"
Amid the crisp notifications, Ning Feng noticed that next to his HP bar, a new gauge—similar to a mana bar—had appeared, labeled Chakra.
It was obvious that to release any ninjutsu, a certain amount of chakra would be required.
Soon, Ning Feng noticed an additional note beside the chakra gauge:
[Chakra Cap Explanation]:
This value directly affects how many ninjutsu you can cast. Cultivating ninjutsu and improving physical conditioning will rapidly increase the chakra cap.
3,000 chakra: Genin-level Chakra30,000 chakra: Chūnin-level Chakra300,000 chakra: Jōnin-level Chakra1,000,000 chakra: Kage-level Chakra
…
After reading this, Ning Feng froze for a moment—then broke into a grin.
The Uchiha Clan's chakra extraction technique truly lived up to its reputation.
With just a single technique learned, he had already reached 2,000 chakra, only 1,000 points away from Genin-level Chakra!
He had only just used a chakra extraction technique, yet his chakra cap had already risen so dramatically. Choosing the Uchiha Clan had clearly been the right decision!
"I've learned the extraction technique!"
After fully digesting the technique, Ning Feng smiled and reported back to Uchiha Fugaku.
He didn't have time to waste—improving his strength as quickly as possible was the priority.
Sure enough, hearing that Ning Feng had already mastered it, both Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi—who had expected it to take at least three to five days—were completely stunned.
Back then, it had taken them three to five full days to truly master chakra extraction!
"So fast!?"
Uchiha Fugaku stared in disbelief. He already thought Itachi was a once-in-a-generation genius—was the Uchiha Clan about to produce another peerless talent!?
It was worth noting that with the help of the game's identity implantation, Uchiha Feng had been perfectly integrated into the Uchiha Clan. As a result, Fugaku and the others did not see Ning Feng as an outsider or a player.
"A true genius. Even Itachi took five days to fully grasp it."
"Itachi, don't go to the ANBU today. Stay home and properly teach Feng instead!"
