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.
Finally, it requires the assistance of the Sharingan.
The Sharingan's genjutsu and enhanced dynamic vision are necessary to analyze all the clones and the situation on the battlefield.
Combining all these elements together forms the core of Shisui's Shunshin Technique.
The technique is almost like a combination of Kamui and the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Although it is incredibly difficult to learn, Shisui used this technique to earn the title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker." His fame reached the heights of legends like Konoha's White Fang and the Yellow Flash, causing enemy ninjas to abandon their missions just upon hearing his name.
This shows how powerful this technique is!
After yet another day of grueling practice, with no significant progress, Uchiha Akira returned home in a terrible mental state. Without even bothering to bathe, he collapsed onto his bed, still reeking of sweat.
The saying "a teacher can lead you to the door, but it's up to you to walk through it" applied here—Shisui had taught him everything he could. Now, it was up to Uchiha Akira's own efforts and insights.
"No wonder in the original story, Uchiha Itachi was nearly impossible to kill. He could hit you, but when you tried to hit him, his body might just scatter into crows and fly away!"
"This technique is very similar to Shisui's Shunshin Technique!"
"Combining illusion and reality with the Sharingan's genjutsu!"
"But to think that after only two months as Shisui's disciple, I—a mere average Chunin who just touched the threshold of Chunin-level skills—am being taught an S-rank technique?"
"It's like asking a middle schooler who just started learning about circuits to build a circuit board!"
"But I'm also an idiot. Why am I banging my head against the wall trying to master such a difficult S-rank technique? I should go take on a few missions, earn some money, and run a few more life simulations."
"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!
Previously, his grandfather had mentioned that the boy loves money and gets happy when he has it. And when he's happy, who knows, he might just have a breakthrough in his ninjutsu training!
After discussing it with Shisui, even Shisui confirmed that Uchiha Akira openly admitted his love for money.
Seeing his grandson working so hard to master Shisui's Body Flicker Technique, but feeling unable to help much, the old man simply sent a large sum of money over.
Fortunately, while his grandson loves money, he merely enjoys saving it and doesn't spend it extravagantly.
As a result, the old man sent him a lump sum of 100,000 ryo!
For a six-year-old child, 100,000 ryo is a massive amount of money!
Last night, he didn't even have dinner or take a bath, so after washing up this morning and having breakfast, he treated himself to a nice soak in the bath!
Even though the school term started in September and it's now November, the climate in the Hidden Leaf Village is similar to that of Hainan Island, with spring-like weather all year round. So, even in November, the weather isn't cold.
Lying in the bathtub, Uchiha Akira began his life simulation, focusing primarily on training the S-rank Body Flicker Technique!
[At six years old, your fame as a genius with a two-tomoe Sharingan spreads throughout the Hidden Leaf Village!]
[Eight months later, despite your hard work in training the S-rank Body Flicker Technique, you've only grasped its basics.]
[Nine months later, you take on a mission outside the village to avoid the night of the clan's massacre.]
[A year later, you are killed by the Hidden Leaf's Anbu!]
…
This life simulation ended quickly.
Even after leaving the village to avoid the clan's massacre, I was still killed after only three months?
Shaking his head, Akira silently lamented his bad luck.
Then, Uchiha Akira extracted the results of a year's worth of training in the Body Flicker Technique!
A year—whether it's due to the S-rank difficulty or his own mediocre talent—he had only mastered the basics after all that time!
Shaking his head, Akira decided to continue in his laid-back manner, simulating life once a day, with the mindset of drawing the best results in ten tries.
The days passed in this routine of eating, drinking, playing, and daily life simulations!
In the second life simulation, he once again left the village to avoid the massacre, this time bringing along Keiko.
As before, Keiko advanced to the three-tomoe Sharingan, becoming a helpful ally!
However, luck was still not on his side, and after a year and two months, he encountered Kakuzu and died at his hands!
Then came the third simulation—killed a year later as a rogue ninja!
The fourth simulation—killed a year later as a rogue ninja!
The fifth simulation—killed a year later by Kakuzu!
In the sixth simulation, he had grasped about thirty percent of the Body Flicker Technique, allowing him to survive three more months before being killed!
In the seventh simulation, he had mastered quite a bit of the Body Flicker Technique, surviving six more months, but was still eventually killed by the Hidden Leaf's Anbu!
Seven simulations, and the longest he survived was only a year and a half. This made Uchiha Akira realize something!
In previous simulations, when things were going well, he could survive for two or three years!
But now, no matter what, he was killed shortly after the clan's massacre, without exception!
It seems that as his fame grew, the Hidden Leaf's higher-ups started paying more attention to him.
So, after the clan's massacre, realizing that he was still out there, they intensified their efforts to hunt him down?
In the Hidden Leaf, the name of a genius is truly a double-edged sword!
Because of his reputation as a genius, Shisui took him as a disciple and even taught him his famed Body Flicker Technique!
But because of that same fame, the Hidden Leaf became more wary of him, increasing their efforts to hunt him down after the massacre!
It had been half a month since Shisui taught him the Body Flicker Technique!
In the first week, he trained tirelessly, but couldn't even grasp the basics.
However, in the following seven days, with a daily life simulation, Uchiha Akira relaxed, giving the impression that he had given up on the technique because he couldn't learn it!
On this day, Uchiha Akira woke up early and started his eighth life simulation!
After seven consecutive simulations, while his chakra hadn't increased much, his ninjutsu application, combat experience... and especially his understanding of the Body Flicker Technique, had improved significantly!
[At six years old, your fame as a genius with a two-tomoe Sharingan spreads throughout the Hidden Leaf Village!]
[You've now mastered about sixty to seventy percent of the Body Flicker Technique, significantly boosting your overall strength, earning Shisui's praise!]
[Two months later, the Land of Lightning hosts a Chunin Exam, with only three slots per village, and you're selected!]
[Three months later, you successfully become a Chunin, and your fame as a genius spreads across the ninja world!]
[Eight months later, you take on a mission outside the village, successfully avoiding the clan's massacre, becoming an A-rank rogue ninja from the Hidden Leaf!]
[A year later, you've nearly mastered Shisui's Body Flicker Technique!]
[A year and a half later, you are ambushed by three members of the Hidden Leaf's Anbu and die from exhaustion!]
