Eri's small courtyard.
Kazuhiko returned home well past dinner time, finding a meal left for him on the living room table.
The elderly couple sat on the sofa watching television, sharing a fruit platter together.
He fed her a slice of watermelon, she fed him a grape; they were sickeningly sweet.
Black Charcoal lay on the sofa armrest, enjoying Eri's petting and purring comfortably.
Seeing that nothing was amiss, Kazuhiko began to eat his meal.
Ever since his physical constitution and chakra reserves had increased significantly, his appetite had grown in tandem.
His stomach would start growling before mealtime every day, and everything he ate tasted delicious.
"Breaking news: at 11:22 AM local time, a verbal altercation broke out between ninjas at the mission hall."
The voice of the Konoha Evening News drifted from the television.
"The two parties came to blows after a disagreement, using Fire Style ninjutsu that sparked a fire. Let's listen to the on-site interview from that time—"
"I saw it very clearly, it was *** who threw the first punch!"
"That's right, the perpetrator used the Great Fireball Technique and nearly burned the entire Hokage Building to the ground."
"..."
"As you can see, the situation on the scene was indeed very perilous. Fortunately, an anonymous, enthusiastic Uchiha stepped in just in time to bring the situation under control."
"Both parties involved have been handed over to the Police Force office for custody, awaiting trial."
"This is your reporter, Uchiha Bunpa, who will continue to provide follow-up reports."
"..."
Uchiha Bunpa!?
He was definitely involved!
Brother! Is that you?
Kazuhiko held his bowl and looked at the television screen, confirming repeatedly that this reporter was not the brother he knew, before continuing to shovel food into his mouth.
After wolfing down his dinner, Kazuhiko slipped into his bedroom, unable to wait to sink his consciousness into his mind.
"With all my insights! With the ninja way of my entire life!"
"With my heaven-reaching wisdom! With my invincible talent!"
"Deep Blue, ten consecutive Jonin-level draws!"
As the roar in Kazuhiko's heart subsided, [Deep Blue] immediately erupted with a brilliant radiance.
Good news: there was very little white light that made one's eyes ache.
Bad news: it was so green it made your heart panic.
[Shuriken Manipulation Technique (Green)]
[Basic Fire Style Chakra Nature Transformation (Green)]
[Two-Tomoe Sharingan (Blue)]
[Genjutsu Resistance (Green)]
[Body Flicker Proficiency (Green)]
[Mind Like Still Water (Green)]
[Konoha-Style Taijutsu (Green)]
[Shadow Clone Technique (Blue)]
[Phantom Body Flicker · Shisui Exclusive (Purple)]
[Weapon Throwing Mastery (Green)]
Ten streams of light representing the entries floated quietly in his sea of consciousness; the green radiance was dazzling, yet it could not obscure the deep purple glow.
There was no golden legendary, and Kazuhiko expressed his disappointment.
But when he saw the familiar words [Shisui Exclusive], his breathing hitched slightly.
Another Shisui exclusive!
And it was the very Body Flicker Technique that made Shisui famous throughout the ninja world!
[Phantom Body Flicker · Shisui Exclusive (Purple)]
[Description: The ultimate refinement of the Body Flicker Technique, combined with Shisui's own god-like speed, allowing his Body Flicker to evolve into the more powerful Phantom Body Flicker. The technique leaves behind realistic phantoms, and the true body can instantly swap positions among them. The phantoms are all tangible and possess the attack capabilities of the original body.]
[Evaluation: The pinnacle of the Body Flicker.]
The power of the Phantom Body Flicker needed no explanation.
It was the ultimate Body Flicker Technique that Shisui relied on to make his name, a god-like speed that could rival the Flying Thunder God.
A man born between heaven and earth—how could he be content to live under others for long!
From today on, please call me Body Flicker Kazuhiko!
[Shuriken Manipulation Technique (Green)] [Description: A signature Uchiha skill. By using chakra threads to control the flight trajectory of kunai and shuriken, one can achieve curves, tracking, and sweeping strikes. When combined with the Sharingan, it can precisely hit any target within the line of sight.]
The advantage is its low consumption—zero mana cost—making it a god-tier skill for showing off.
However, Kazuhiko found it hard to imagine any ninja actually being killed by kunai and shuriken.
[Basic Fire Style Chakra Nature Transformation (Green)] [Description: Increases the power of Fire Style jutsu, makes ninjutsu forms more solid, and grants them piercing properties.]
Chakra nature transformation is the prerequisite for learning all elemental jutsu.
Corresponding nature transformations also increase the power of ninjutsu, making this a very practical green-tier entry.
[Genjutsu Resistance (Green)] [Description: Increases mental resistance; low and mid-level genjutsu will find it difficult to affect you.]
This counts as a survival entry, which is highly advantageous when facing genjutsu-type Jonin like Kurenai Yuhi.
However, its practical utility is low; when it comes to genjutsu, who could be stronger than an Uchiha with a Sharingan?
Kazuhiko rubbed his chin. It was hard to tell, but Shisui was quite the god of genjutsu in internal conflicts.
[Body Flicker Proficiency (Green)] [Description: Standard Body Flicker Technique. High-speed short-distance movement, usable for dodging, rushing, or retreating.]
A basic skill for all ninjas, which Kazuhiko naturally knows as well.
However, given that this is the Body Flicker entry from Shisui, it must be equipped for permanent solidification!
[Mind Like Still Water (Green)] [Description: Suppresses emotional fluctuations, maintaining absolute calm during battle; provides an additional boost to genjutsu resistance; reduces emotional interference during decision-making.] [Evaluation: An underrated god-tier support entry. Especially important for medical ninjas—surgery requires steady hands, and battle requires a cool head.]
Having drawn so many of Shisui's willpower and personality-based entries, this is the most useful one so far.
[Konoha-Style Taijutsu (Green)] [Description: The standard Konoha taijutsu system, including basic strikes, blocks, and evasion techniques, enhancing melee combat ability.]
The improvement to combat ability is negligible; any ninja with even a bit of clan background wouldn't bother learning this.
But taijutsu entries have one benefit: they enhance physical constitution to varying degrees.
Therefore, the more of these entries, the better.
[Weapon Throwing Mastery (Green)] [Description: Significantly increases the accuracy of throwing weapons like kunai, shuriken, and senbon, and notably improves hit rates against moving targets.]
It can form a synergy with the Shuriken Manipulation Technique, but that is all.
[Two-Tomoe Sharingan (Blue)] [Description: The Two-Tomoe stage of the Sharingan. Comprehensive improvements to dynamic vision, genjutsu amplification, copying ability, and hypnotic ability. Insight is more powerful, allowing you to clearly see high-speed movements, hand seal sequences, and chakra flow, see through low and mid-level genjutsu, and predict attack trajectories.]
I haven't even had the chance to permanently solidify the One-Tomoe Sharingan, and the Two-Tomoe is already in place.
Could this be any more blissful?
Kazuhiko suppressed the urge to equip the entries immediately and continued to check the effects of the others.
[Shadow Clone Technique (Blue)] [Description: B-rank ninjutsu. Creates a chakra clone with a physical body that can act independently. When the clone dissipates, memories return to the original body. Suitable for accelerated training, intelligence gathering, and tactical coordination.]
It looks like a B-rank, but it is actually T0.
The Shadow Clone Technique can not only be used to cheat at training but also allows for multi-threaded operations, making its strategic value far exceed any other B-rank ninjutsu.
Kazuhiko looked at the entry slots, now packed full of various colored entries, and began to struggle with the choices.
"With so many entries, which one should I start with for permanent solidification?"
