In the very next instant, an overwhelming surge of information poured into Uchiha Dave's mind like a tidal wave of revelation.
[Method 1: Consume 1,000 wishes to directly obtain the Sharingan Eye Opening Training Method that suits you best.]
[Method 2: Consume 10 wishes to maximize your comprehension for 3 minutes.
Using the Uchiha clan's meditation technique—combined with various visualization and introspection practices from your past life—you can create a customized and optimal Sharingan awakening method with 100% success.]
[Method 3: Consume 90 wishes to increase your Uchiha bloodline development to 10.1%, allowing you to awaken a one-tomoe Sharingan immediately.]
Dave furrowed his brows slightly as the knowledge settled into place.
"Three options, huh...?"
He crossed his arms and analyzed them one by one.
"Method One feels like cheating. Spending 1,000 wishes just to be handed the method on a silver platter? That's both lazy and inefficient."
He scoffed to himself.
"And Method Three isn't much better. Using 90 wishes to unlock just a one-tomoe Sharingan? I can do better. I will do better. Relying on brute-force wish expenditure is a fool's path."
He shook his head, a determined light flickering in his dark eyes.
"No. I'll cultivate my bloodline through my efforts. I won't waste precious wishes just to rush something I can earn through training."
Wishes were a finite and vital resource—each one a miracle not to be taken lightly.
Given that his Wish Talent was only Level 1, Dave was limited to just one wish per day.
At that pace, wasting even a single wish could cost him days—or even years—of progress.
And so, he made his decision.
"I'll go with Method Two. Ten wishes for full comprehension in three minutes... That's the most value for the least cost."
But still, there was no need to rush. Not yet.
Dave had other systems, limits, and conditions he still wanted to explore.
"I need to finish running these tests. Once I fully understand what I'm working with, I'll plan my wish usage to perfection. Every wish has to count."
After all, reaching this many wishes again in the future would require a slow, painstaking grind.
Then, with a clear thought, Dave summoned another wish prompt:
[I wish to obtain the best method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan that suits me perfectly.]
The talent gave response immediately:
[Method 1: After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, consume 10,000 wishes to evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.]
[Method 2: Consume 10,111 wishes to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan directly.]
[Method 3: Consume 94.34 million wishes to raise your comprehension to Super Kage-level. Then, consume 1,000 wishes to activate 3 minutes of peak enlightenment, reaching 100% understanding.
You will be able to craft your own Eternal Eye Awakening Training Method, including:
— Sharingan Awakening Meditation
— Advanced Three-Tomoe Development
— Final Eternal Mangekyō Evolution Method.]
Dave's eyes twitched as he took in the numbers.
"Hissss... Over 20 years just to collect 10,000 wishes at my current rate?"
He stared at the options with exasperation.
"Unacceptable. I'm not here to crawl at the same pace as ordinary shinobi."
He clenched his fists, feeling frustration rise—but also a renewed sense of urgency.
"I'm cheating. I have the Wish Talent. If I'm still crawling by the time I'm thirty, then what's the point?"
A flash of ambition lit up in his crimson eyes.
"I have to improve my Wish Talent as soon as possible. That's the real bottleneck."
Even though he had expected challenges, the sheer scale of the requirements left even Dave momentarily speechless.
Still, he recovered quickly.
"Talent level… luck… It all comes down to that."
He knew raising his Wish Talent required luck—a mysterious and hard-to-control force.
But luck wasn't just some nebulous concept. It could be molded.
Strength. Influence. Fame. Status. Impact on the ninja world…
All of these could increase his luck.
And Dave made a silent vow: he would rise in all of them.
His journey was just beginning.
Then, his voice echoed inward once more:
[I wish to obtain the most suitable Chakra Refining Method for myself.]
The system responded instantly:
[Consume 5 wishes to maximize comprehension for 5 minutes and deduce the optimal method.]
Dave blinked. "Only five wishes?"
His eyes lit up.
"That's surprisingly affordable. Maybe too affordable... Wait—if I gather more information beforehand..."
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"If I study and memorize more existing Chakra refining techniques, analyze their principles and structures... would that reduce the number of wishes required?"
It was a theory worth testing.
And if it worked?
[I wish to obtain the Chakra cultivation method that is most suitable for me—one that can permanently store, accumulate, purify, and promote chakra, enabling a continuous evolution of the Chakra cultivation system.]
[Method 1: Consume 1,000 wishes to maximize your comprehension for the next 3 minutes and reach a 100% enlightenment state. You will then be able to create a Chakra Circulation Practice Method that allows for Chakra accumulation through internal circulation, tendon expansion, and the opening of the middle dantian to store and refine Chakra.
(Note: Studying knowledge about the human body in this world can significantly reduce the number of wishes required. Possessing the Byakugan can also lessen the wish cost slightly.) ]
[Method 2: Consume 10,000 wishes to obtain the "Chakra Circulation Method directly."]
"…1,000 wishes… still too steep," Dave muttered, sighing inwardly as the wish feedback faded from his mind.
He frowned slightly, lost in thought.
"It's clear now—I need to enhance my understanding of Chakra and accumulate a deeper knowledge base to reduce the cost of these high-tier wishes."
With a faint shake of his head, Dave digested the implications and resolved himself.
"I'll begin by reading every book I can find at home and in the clan archives."
Decision made, Dave stepped out of his room and entered the living area.
The moment he appeared, a voice greeted him warmly.
"You're out. So—how did it go? Were you able to extract your Chakra successfully?"
The speaker was Uchiha Nobuhiko, Dave's father in this life, who looked over with a steady, expectant gaze.
Standing beside him was Uchiha Kokomi, Dave's mother, who watched him with gentle concern in her eyes.
It was obvious the two had been waiting for him, fully aware that today was his first attempt at Chakra extraction. Their expressions betrayed both hope and a touch of parental anxiety.
Dave smiled and calmly raised his hand. With a subtle motion, a faint swirl of blue energy began to gather in his palm.
"Yes. I succeeded."
The moment the Chakra fluctuation appeared, both Nobuhiko and Kokomi brightened with joy.
Nobuhiko's voice brimmed with pride as he praised, "Not bad at all! You managed to extract Chakra in just two hours. That's a solid talent."
He nodded with approval.
"Not quite on your brother Fugaku's level, but with consistent effort, becoming an Elite Jōnin is well within reach."
The praise came with a hint of comparison, but it was also warm and genuine.
Dave smiled back, though his expression flickered slightly.
'Elite Jōnin?'
He almost chuckled.
'That might've been true before… but I'm no longer the same kid.'
With the memories and comprehension of his past life now integrated, along with the wish talent and his natural soul talent for enlightenment, his potential far surpassed what his father imagined.
And that was without even using wishes to improve his innate talent yet.
He had cheats.
He had power.
He had time.
And he had ambition.
"Oh, by the way, Father," Dave said, smoothly changing the subject, "while refining my Chakra, I encountered a few confusing points. Could I ask you some questions to clear them up?"
He didn't directly request permission to access the clan's scrolls and techniques. Instead, he opted for a more subtle approach, showing his eagerness to learn while shifting the conversation naturally.
It was also a good opportunity to demonstrate his intelligence and insight, to gently shift his parents' perception of him.
From average child… to budding genius.
Nobuhiko blinked at first, slightly surprised. But then a wide smile spread across his face.
"Oh? Of course. Ask away. I'm free today anyway."
He nodded, clearly pleased.
'A curious child who asks questions is better than one who doesn't think at all. Looks like this son of mine understands how to use the clan's strength wisely.'
Dave wasted no time.
"It's like this…"
He began to raise questions, first from the basics, then gradually moving to intermediate and even obscure topics of Chakra theory.
Nobuhiko answered each question clearly, and Dave listened carefully, often nodding with perfect understanding before asking the next.
Before long, the questions grew more profound.
And with each exchange, his father's casual smile faded slightly, replaced by a thoughtful, even cautious expression.
Nobuhiko began to realize something.
'These weren't the kinds of questions a beginner should even be thinking about.'
Yet his son not only grasped them but responded like someone actively building a new system from the ground up.
In truth, Dave's comprehension ability had already reached the Kage-level.
And that didn't just mean he could understand Kage-level jutsu—he could create, refine, and even surpass them.
As the conversation continued, the room filled not only with dialogue but also with a quiet, growing sense of awe.
His father watched him in silence, the gears turning in his mind.
