In terms of overall strength, Uchiha Akira had indeed reached the level of a Chunin.
However, after simulating so many times, most of his focus had been on mastering the Body Flicker Technique.
As a result, while his chakra didn't increase much, his proficiency in ninjutsu and combat experience became extremely refined.
With an additional two years of training, he managed to slightly compensate for his lack of chakra!
After finishing his simulation and feeling the increase in his chakra, Uchiha Akira had breakfast and then set out with his grandfather.
"Where are you going?" Uchiha Akira asked, noticing the determined look in his grandfather's eyes.
"My dear grandson is aiming to secure a chance to take the Chunin Exam in the Hidden Cloud Village. As your grandfather, of course, I have to be there to support you!" the old man said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Well, if his grandfather wanted to come and watch, there was no reason to refuse.
"What about you, Keiko?" Akira asked, turning to Keiko, who had also come along.
"Master Akira, your opponent today is one of the top-ranked Genin in the village, whose overall strength is already at the Chunin level. I'll stay close by, just in case," Keiko replied gently, like an elder sister from next door.
"You don't have much faith in me, do you?" Akira teased.
"You misunderstand, Master Akira. I'm just being cautious," Keiko responded, not willing to admit her concern.
Well, in his life simulations, Akira had been through a lot with Keiko, even surviving together twice.
In fact, his two-tomoe Sharingan had evolved during one of those simulations when he witnessed Keiko's death.
If she wanted to stay close and watch, so be it.
As they walked through the Uchiha clan grounds, they ran into Shisui. It was worth noting that Shisui had been talking to Itachi, and now they both decided to join the group.
In no time, the five of them walked down the main street of Konoha, attracting countless curious glances.
The Uchiha clan elder, Shisui of the Body Flicker, Itachi, and now Uchiha Akira, who was being hailed as the Uchiha clan's top prodigy.
With such a lineup, it was impossible not to draw attention!
After some casual conversation, Itachi, who happened to be free today, also decided to join them. After all, this was going to be a Chunin-level battle, and Itachi was curious to see the strength of this so-called "top prodigy" of the Uchiha clan.
"This group is a bit over the top, isn't it?" Akira thought to himself as he glanced around at the impressive assembly of Uchiha members.
…
Upon reaching the battleground outside the Hokage building, Akira realized he had underestimated the situation.
It wasn't just the Uchiha clan that was taking this seriously. The Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, Kakashi Hatake, and even the heads of the Hyuga, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Nara clans had all gathered!
Clearly, Uchiha Akira's reputation as a genius had spread far and wide.
A six-year-old trying to represent Konoha in the Chunin Exams at the Hidden Cloud Village?
Add to that the fact that he had been training under Shisui for several months.
Naturally, everyone wanted to see how much progress Uchiha Akira had made in such a short time!
Uchiha Akira had always known that his reputation as a prodigy was growing, but he hadn't quite grasped the full extent of it until now.
After all, he was still just a Genin, albeit with strength on par with a Chunin.
But to think that so many of Konoha's high-ranking officials would personally come to watch?
No wonder that after his Sharingan evolved to two tomoe, the pressure from Konoha's higher-ups increased, and he ended up getting hunted down faster during the simulations!
…
Uchiha Akira inwardly complained as the group arrived at the battleground. After a brief exchange of words, the duel began!
Uchiha Akira and Inuzuka Hana stood several meters apart, preparing to face off.
While Akira was alone, Inuzuka Hana had her battle partner by her side—a ninja dog.
Clearing his mind of distractions, Akira's expression grew serious as he focused on Inuzuka Hana, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Then, his eyes turned blood-red, and two tomoe appeared in each eye.
It was the two-tomoe Sharingan!
Though the title of "prodigy" made Konoha pay more attention to him, which increased the intensity of the hunts during his rogue ninja simulations, there were also plenty of advantages to it!
Since he had decided to seize Inuzuka Hana's spot in the Chunin Exam, he knew that the cleaner and more decisive his victory, the more convincing it would be.
Seeing Akira's two-tomoe Sharingan, Inuzuka Hana's nerves tightened.
He might be only six years old, but the reputation of the Sharingan was feared throughout the ninja world.
And this was the two-tomoe Sharingan, a power that stood out even among Chunin.
Beast Imitation Technique: Four Legs Technique!
Inuzuka Hana crouched down, while her ninja dog transformed into her likeness.
Uchiha Akira formed hand seals, and three shadow clones appeared beside him...

The Hokage, Danzo, Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, and even many clan leaders and high-ranking members of the ninja clans had all gathered to watch this battle.
Were they here to watch Inuzuka Hana?
Of course not! They were all here because of the rising fame of Uchiha Akira.
As the battle began, all eyes were focused on Uchiha Akira.
How much power could a six-year-old truly possess?
When Uchiha Akira immediately activated his two-tomoe Sharingan, the spectators silently nodded in approval.
As expected, for a six-year-old to have awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan was already an indication of Chunin-level strength.
But what about his actual combat abilities?
"Is this a basic Clone Technique? Or maybe a Shadow Clone?" Inuzuka Tsume, Hana's mother, had come to watch as well. Seeing Uchiha Akira summon three phantasmal clones, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"It doesn't seem like a basic clone or a Shadow Clone. No doubt, this is Shisui's disciple," Danzo thought to himself, his mind quietly calculating.
"This technique… could it be…?" Uchiha Itachi, Akira's close friend, recognized the technique immediately, and his expression changed slightly.
…
But setting aside the thoughts of the high-ranking spectators…
After summoning the three phantasmal clones, Uchiha Akira and his three clones rushed toward Inuzuka Hana.
With the Beast Imitation Technique, Inuzuka Hana and her ninja dog were facing a two-on-four battle.
Inuzuka Hana extended her claws, aiming for Uchiha Akira's chest.
However, her attack passed right through Uchiha Akira's body!
"A clone technique? Just an illusion?" Inuzuka Hana thought reflexively as her strike went through Akira's body.
But then, the Uchiha Akira she had dismissed as an illusion suddenly spun around and landed a solid punch on her.
Bang!
The punch sent Inuzuka Hana tumbling to the ground.
At the same time, the ninja dog, which had transformed into Hana, was kicked by another of Uchiha Akira's clones.
As the ninja dog was sent flying, it retaliated with a swipe of its claws, aiming at Uchiha Akira's face.
But this swipe, too, passed harmlessly through Akira's body!
On the battlefield, the four Uchiha Akira figures continued their relentless assault on Inuzuka Hana and her ninja dog.
Yet, every time Hana and her dog attacked, their strikes went right through Akira.
In contrast, Uchiha Akira's attacks landed solidly every time.
The battle had barely begun, and Inuzuka Hana and her ninja dog had already been struck multiple times by Uchiha Akira.
It was fortunate that Uchiha Akira was only six years old, so his strength wasn't overwhelming; otherwise, Hana would have been seriously injured by now.
…
The onlookers were stunned.
Every high-ranking ninja in Konoha who was watching the duel had their eyes wide open, expressions of shock written across their faces.
"He actually learned it… My grandson actually mastered Shisui's signature technique?" Akira's grandfather was filled with pride as he watched the four indistinguishable figures of Uchiha Akira on the battlefield.
"This… Is this what a true prodigy looks like?" Even Uchiha Itachi, who was the same age as Akira's younger brother, couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority when comparing himself to Akira.
"No wonder Shisui requested Uchiha Akira to participate. With this mastery of the Body Flicker Technique, he's practically unbeatable at the Chunin level," the Third Hokage mused to himself, deeply impressed.
Beside him, Danzo's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
The Uchiha clan… a clan with an inherently sinister nature, and now another super prodigy had emerged?
This was not good news.
…
As for Kakashi and the other clan leaders watching from the sidelines, they were equally shocked.
A six-year-old with the two-tomoe Sharingan and Shisui's signature technique?
It wouldn't be long before another Shisui of the Body Flicker emerged from the Uchiha clan.
Or perhaps, this child might even surpass Shisui one day.
The Uchiha clan was still the Uchiha clan—Konoha's most powerful family, a legendary ninja clan that had dominated the world since the Warring States period.
"Sigh, Hana… she lost," Inuzuka Tsume sighed inwardly as she watched the battle unfold, murmuring quietly to herself.
Indeed, seeing the level of skill Uchiha Akira had displayed, Tsume knew her daughter had lost.
Despite Hana's best efforts, even using the Fang Over Fang technique, her fiercest attacks couldn't land on Uchiha Akira.
Finally, seizing an opportunity, Uchiha Akira drew a kunai and held it to Inuzuka Hana's throat.
And with that, the battle was over…
