Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Discerning Eye
Yuichi's hand shot up immediately.
The teacher arched an eyebrow at his eagerness but nodded in his direction. "Yuichi, let's hear it."
Standing confidently, Yuichi met the teacher's gaze. "The most common mistake is uneven chakra distribution. If a student doesn't balance their chakra properly, the clone will either not form at all or appear incomplete."
A murmur of agreement rippled through the classroom as a few students nodded, impressed by his precise answer.
The teacher's lips curved into a faint smile. "Correct. Uneven chakra distribution is indeed the most common error. However…" Her eyes glinted as she turned back to the class. "There's another equally critical issue. Can anyone guess what it is?"
The room fell silent, the students exchanging uncertain glances.
Yuichi's mind raced, aided by his [Excellent Memory]. He recalled the teacher's earlier explanation about visualization and chakra flow. He raised his hand again.
The teacher looked amused. "Yuichi, you seem to have all the answers today. Go ahead."
"The second issue is poor visualization," Yuichi said confidently. "If the mental image of the clone isn't clear, it won't look convincing—even if the chakra distribution is perfect."
The teacher's smile widened. "Impressive, Yuichi. That's absolutely right. A clear mental image is just as important as precise chakra control. Without both, the Clone Jutsu is bound to fail."
As the class resumed its focus, Yuichi felt a rush of pride. He was dominating the classroom discussion, and the impressed whispers of his peers didn't go unnoticed.
Obito, sitting a few rows behind, scowled. "What's with him today? Since when did he know this much?" he muttered to Rin, who was seated beside him.
Rin glanced at Yuichi with mild surprise. "He has been acting… different lately. Maybe he's just been studying hard?"
Obito huffed, leaning back in his seat. "Yeah... right."
Yuichi, oblivious to their chatter, was fully immersed in the lecture. His eyes stayed glued to the teacher as she moved to the next point.
"Now, I want you all to attempt the Clone Jutsu," the teacher announced, stepping aside to give the students space. "Stand up, find your positions, and focus. Remember the principles we discussed."
...
The academy bell rang, marking the end of the day. The front doors swung open as students poured out, their chatter and laughter filling the streets. Some were eager to rush home, while others lingered to talk with friends.
Among the crowd, Yuichi walked out calmly, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings. He noticed many of his classmates running excitedly toward their mothers, who stood waiting just outside the academy gates.
One figure in particular caught his attention.
A woman with a graceful and commanding presence stood among the parents, her stance elegant yet relaxed. Her long, silky brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her refined face. She wore a fitted outfit that accentuated her perfect, curvy figure, a sharp contrast to the plain attire of most parents. Her sharp glasses added an air of intellect, while the subtle makeup enhanced her natural beauty.

Yuichi instantly recognized her—it was his mother, or at least this body's, whose composed demeanor often drew the attention of everyone around her.
"Yuichi!" she called, her voice warm yet firm.
He gave a small wave and made his way toward her. Other parents and students stole glances, murmuring quietly about her appearance. Yuichi wasn't surprised; his mother's beauty often turned heads. She was really fucking hot.
"Had a good day at the academy?" she asked as he reached her.
Yuichi gave a nonchalant shrug. "It was fine. Just the usual stuff."
Her lips curved into a knowing smile. "The 'usual stuff' often means trouble with you. Anything I should know about?"
He shook his head quickly. "Nope, not this time."
Her eyes narrowed slightly, studying him for a moment before she nodded. "Alright, let's head home."
As they walked away from the academy, Yuichi couldn't help but look at her, his gaze drifting down to her perfect ass. He didn't know why, but he felt a strange attraction to her, one that didn't just stem from her extreme beauty. Maybe it was the attachment this body had built with her?
Her steps were fluid and graceful, her hips subtly swaying as she moved. Yuichi felt his eyes glued to her, taking in the sight of her perfect, round butt. His body, his heart, and even his mind seemed to be drawn to her.
Sigh... I am a fucking pervert...
...
The walk home was uneventful, with Yuichi and his mother exchanging only a few words. When they arrived, Akita Takano placed her bag down and tied her hair into a neat ponytail.
"I'll prepare lunch," she said, moving toward the kitchen with graceful efficiency.
Yuichi followed her with his eyes as she began gathering ingredients. She placed a few unusual items on the counter—brightly colored roots, some powdery supplements, and fresh vegetables. A complex apparatus was stationed in one corner of the kitchen, a mix of burners, glass flasks, and measuring tools.
His mother, a renowned scientist with a passion for medical advancements, always aimed to incorporate her research into their meals. Every dish she made wasn't just delicious—it was scientifically designed to promote growth, enhance chakra reserves, and improve overall physical health.
As she measured and blended the ingredients, Yuichi sat on the couch in the living room, his thoughts wandering.
"Can I perhaps check my status somehow?" he wondered, resting his chin on his hand. "Maybe I should create the Discerning Eye skill like Noir Stardia did..."
The thought sparked excitement. He immediately focused inward.
"Create the Discerning Eye skill!"
The familiar melodic voice chimed in his mind:
[To create the Discerning Eye skill, 300 LP are required. Do you want to proceed?]
"Yes!" Yuichi confirmed without hesitation.
[-300 LP]
[The skill Discerning Eye has been created!]
A surge of energy coursed through his body as he felt the new skill take form.
"Discerning Eye," Yuichi muttered as he activated the skill. His right eye immediately glowed green, and a torrent of information flooded his vision. It wasn't overwhelming—more like a steady stream of knowledge revealing details about every object around him.
The walls, the furniture, even the food his mother was preparing—they all displayed intricate details: materials, chakra-infused properties, and subtle stats.
His gaze then naturally shifted to his mother. The moment she entered his sight, her status appeared before him:
[Akita Takano, Chūnin]

Yuichi's jaw dropped slightly as he took in the impressive stats.
"She's so strong for being a scientist," he thought, impressed.
His admiration quickly turned to self-interest. "Oh, right! I should check myself now!"
Yuichi turned his gaze inward, focusing the Discerning Eye on himself.
