Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Shisui is Stunned, Learned an S-Rank Jutsu in Half a Month?
This life simulation left Uchiha Akira feeling surprised!
First of all, there's going to be a Chunin Exam in two months? And it's going to be held in Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning?
This didn't appear in the previous life simulations!
So, what does that mean? Only three spots are available, so even though I have a reputation as a genius, I'm not particularly outstanding among the Genin.
Does that mean I wasn't qualified to participate? It seems that must be the case!
Also, this life simulation made Uchiha Akira realize just how insane Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is!
In the end, I was surrounded and killed by three ANBU members after exhausting my chakra!
In other words, I relied on Shisui's Body Flicker Technique to the point where even three ANBU members couldn't do anything to me?
If I hadn't run out of chakra, I could have remained undefeated?
You have to know that being qualified to join the ANBU means being at least an elite Chunin!
This eighth life simulation left Uchiha Akira feeling quite satisfied.
Naturally, he chose to focus on acquiring more ninjutsu this time!
And then, it was as if a switch had been flipped—Uchiha Akira suddenly understood and mastered the Body Flicker Technique!
After simulating eight times, spending roughly ten years in total, I finally mastered this technique. Plus, I gained eight years of combat experience!
On the surface, Uchiha Akira still appears to be just a six-year-old child.
But when it comes to actual combat, he's someone with over ten years of fighting experience!
"Indeed, I've mastered about seventy to eighty percent of this Body Flicker Technique, but it took me ten years to learn an S-Rank technique. This is really..."
Although mastering Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was a great accomplishment, Uchiha Akira couldn't help but shake his head in frustration when thinking about the time he had invested.
Just think about Naruto in the original series—he mastered the A-Rank Rasengan in just one week!
Not to mention, after traveling for two years, he created the Giant Rasengan and even the S-Rank Rasenshuriken!
But I took ten years!
It's unbelievable! Considering that Naruto, who could learn the A-Rank Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu in one night, was depicted as the eternal dead-last in the original series, what does that make me?
"I still have enough money for two more simulations! My ninjutsu and combat experience are sufficient! Next, I'll focus on acquiring more chakra!"
"Of course, if there's a chance to awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan, that will be my top priority!"
"However, to awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan, I'll need to reach at least the Jonin level in chakra, right?"
"It seems like enhancing my chakra will be a long and arduous journey!"
...
After lamenting his average talent, Uchiha Akira had breakfast and was about to head out for a walk.
At that moment, Shisui arrived!
"Shisui-sensei!" Uchiha Akira greeted him humbly. He held great respect for Uchiha Shisui, who had taught him the Body Flicker Technique, which was the foundation of his fame.
"Half a month has passed. How's your progress with the Body Flicker Technique? Is there anything you still don't understand?" Shisui asked directly.
Being well aware of the difficulty of mastering his S-Rank Body Flicker Technique, Shisui thought it would be normal for Akira to encounter some challenges.
He had expected to help Akira work through those challenges.
"Shisui-sensei, I've roughly mastered about eighty to ninety percent of the Body Flicker Technique, and I haven't encountered any major difficulties!" Uchiha Akira replied when he heard Shisui's concern about his training progress.
"What? You've already mastered eighty to ninety percent?" Shisui's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Uchiha Akira.
As the developer of the Body Flicker Technique, Shisui was deeply aware of how difficult it was to master it.
But... it's only been half a month? And Uchiha Akira has already mastered it?
Seeing Shisui's shocked expression, Uchiha Akira didn't bother saying anything more. He just demonstrated it!
He formed a hand seal, and then three illusionary shadow clones appeared!
Immediately after, Akira's real body freely swapped places with the three illusionary shadow clones!
"Shisui-sensei, with my current Sharingan, I can only control three illusionary shadow clones at the same time!"
Uchiha Akira explained after performing the Body Flicker Technique.
With only the Two Tomoe Sharingan, his insight was still far inferior to that of the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
So, controlling three illusionary shadow clones was already his limit.
Any more, and he wouldn't be able to handle it!
"Half a month, just half a month, and you've actually mastered it?"
Even though Uchiha Akira's words were humble, Shisui was completely dumbfounded as he watched the real and illusionary clones alternating seamlessly.
"For ordinary people to learn this move, it takes at least three to five years!"
"Itachi took over half a year to grasp part of its essence and integrate it into his own techniques, and I was already impressed by that!"
"But you've reached this level in just half a month!" Shisui exclaimed in amazement.
"Ordinary people need three to five years? But it took me ten years?" While Shisui marveled at Uchiha Akira's talent, he was unaware that Uchiha Akira's expression had turned even more disheartened.
