Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The First S-Rank Ninjutsu
Feeling dizzy and mentally exhausted, half a month had passed. During this time, Uchiha Akira had been obsessively training in the Shunshin Technique given to him by Uchiha Shisui.
However, after two weeks, not only had there been no progress, but he had also driven himself to the point of mental exhaustion.
The Shunshin Technique is a movement technique that almost all Jonin, and even some Chunin, can master, allowing them to increase their speed significantly for short bursts.
But Shisui's Shunshin Technique was entirely different.
The basic Shunshin Technique simply increases movement speed-nothing more.
However, Shisui's Shunshin Technique can manifest the abilities of Kamui in a clone-like form!
What does this mean?
Shisui could create multiple clones, which appeared to be illusions but were actually real. When you attacked one of these clones, it might just be a simple illusion.
But when it attacked you, it might be solid-this was the defining feature of Obito's Kamui! Of course, while this technique is powerful, the more powerful the technique, the harder it is to master.
As Shisui explained, this technique is classified as S-rank in terms of difficulty.
First, one must master the basic Shunshin Technique to a very high level.
Second, it involves a mechanism similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, where, at a critical moment, the user must instantly switch places with one of the clone-like illusions, creating a scenario where all the clones are both real and illusionary.
"My talent is mediocre. Hard work isn't my path-pay-to-win is the way!"
...
Lying in bed, Uchiha Akira's thoughts were scattered. Before long, the sound of his snoring filled the room.
At the door, Uchiha Keiko, carrying a basin of hot water, had intended to let Akira wash his face and then have dinner.
But as she reached the door and heard the heavy snoring from inside, she quietly turned away. "Keiko, where's that boy?" At the dining table, where the food had already been served, the old man hadn't started eating. Seeing Keiko return alone, he asked.
"Master Akira is already asleep. It seems he's really exhausted lately," Keiko replied.
"Mm, Shisui's Shunshin Technique isn't easy to learn. He's been working hard these past few days-it must have been tough on him. I'll have to find a way to cheer him up," the old man said, both pleased and concerned.
Akira slept like a log. From around six in the evening, he slept straight through to six the next morning, waking up only because he was starving.
However, as he got up and started washing up, Keiko came in carrying a small briefcase.
"Master Akira, this is from the Elder. He said you've been working too hard in training lately and that you should take a couple of days to relax. Training needs a balance of work and rest," Keiko said, opening the briefcase to reveal stacks of crisp new bills.
"This is...?" Seeing this, Uchiha Akira's eyes lit up.
"This is 100,000 ryō!"
"Grandpa is awesome! I love him to death!" This was exactly what Akira needed at this moment!
