Chapter 31
Haruto Saito had previously used a Mental Enhancement Card, instantly doubling his chakra reserves. But this time, he consumed two at once, causing another explosive increase—his chakra reserves doubled again!
By estimation, each Mental Enhancement Card provided the chakra equivalent of a standard Genin. Haruto, already possessing a Genin's chakra, had now consumed three such cards, bringing his total chakra reserves to four times that of a typical Genin!
"Four times the chakra of a Genin... does that put me on par with a Chunin?" Haruto mused to himself.
It was hard to say. Chakra reserves alone weren't the defining factor of a ninja's strength. Take Naruto Uzumaki, for example—his chakra reserves rivaled a tailed beast's, yet he still had to train extensively, even earning the title of "dead last" in the academy.
Similarly, chakra amounts differed based on specialization. Ninjutsu users generally had higher reserves than Taijutsu specialists. However, there were exceptions—like Tsunade, who was both a medical ninja and a Taijutsu expert but possessed absurdly high chakra levels.
Using the Uchiha Clan as a benchmark, their chakra levels remained fairly standardized according to rank—higher ranks meant higher chakra reserves.
"I should be at least on par with a Chunin—maybe even stronger," Haruto concluded before shifting his focus to the new cards in his inventory. "Spirit, explain these newly obtained cards."
