Fuma Shuriken

[Uchiha Itachi (Ninja Rookie)]

[Skills: Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique, Shuriken Manipulation Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique]

The skills on the Ninja Cards are determined by their performance in the Naruto mobile game. Since this ninja only used these skills in the game, Akiyama Shun can only obtain these.

Furthermore, a Ninja Card only takes effect when it is equipped.

This state is very similar to Kamen Rider Decade; one only possesses the corresponding ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai when switched to the specific card.

However, if it is a ninjutsu or Kekkei Genkai that Akiyama Shun has learned himself, he can use it regardless of which card is equipped.

He can fully utilize the advantage of learning ninjutsu in advance to reverse-engineer the process, thereby mastering ninjutsu rapidly.

The moment he equipped this card, Akiyama Shun immediately felt his hand movements become much more agile. He knew this was the effect of Uchiha Itachi's shuriken throwing technique.

Secondly, the chakra circulation patterns and hand seals for the various ninjutsu known by [Uchiha Itachi (Ninja Rookie)] were now as if carved into Akiyama Shun's DNA; whenever he wanted to release a certain ninjutsu, the relevant chakra would naturally begin to circulate.

Among these skills, the strongest is the Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique. After all, it is a B-rank ninjutsu, a genuine Jonin-level technique. Yet, it is also the least practical; there is no helping it, as Akiyama Shun is well aware of his own chakra reserves.

Based on Akiyama Shun's current estimation, a single small blast would likely drain him dry.

Well, he is a bit envious of those who can go seven times a day.

The most practical remains the Shuriken Manipulation Technique, which consumes no chakra and can significantly boost combat effectiveness.

Most importantly, after drawing this card, it thoughtfully included a sealing scroll containing a Fuma Shuriken.

The most important part of this technique is the first word, and as it happens, the Fuma Shuriken has a hole in the center.

The purpose of this hole in the middle of the Fuma Shuriken is quite obvious.

That's right, it is for tying steel wires.

The principle of the Shuriken Manipulation Technique is to use steel wires to better control the shuriken.

Now that the Fuma Shuriken has been provided for free, it has saved Akiyama Shun a lot of money. Next, Akiyama Shun only needs to buy some small shuriken and steel wire.

"Hmm..."

Akiyama Shun suddenly thought that if one were to extrapolate based on this logic, wouldn't he be gifted a Sharingan if he drew a Sharingan-user ninja in the future? And if he drew [Uchiha Obito (Six Paths Mode)]...

Forget it, that is still too far away from him.

"Shun? What are you thinking about?"

Yuhi Kurenai stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of Akiyama Shun.

"Ah, I was thinking about things after enrollment."

Akiyama Shun snapped back to reality and smiled at Yuhi Kurenai.

"Don't think about it anymore~ It's dinner time now, let's hurry and find my father, and tell him this good news! And then... oh, I can't say that part yet."

Halfway through her sentence, Yuhi Kurenai suddenly remembered the previous matter, quickly covered her mouth, looked at Akiyama Shun with a smile, and then pulled his hand as she ran toward home.

"I'm not going to run away, you don't have to pull so tight."

Akiyama Shun was led away by Yuhi Kurenai just like that, feeling his mood improve even further.

As expected, being with a mature beauty is enough to make one feel pleasant.

With the two of them jogging, they soon arrived at Yuhi Kurenai's home.

Yuhi Kurenai's home is a large mansion in the center of Konoha. When the two arrived, Yuhi Shinku seemed to have just returned home as well.

Yuhi Kurenai pounced over immediately, rubbing her small head against Yuhi Shinku.

"Father!"

Dotingly ruffling his daughter's hair, Yuhi Shinku looked toward Akiyama Shun.

"Shun is here too. Come in and eat together. I saw your grades; they are excellent. Let's celebrate today."

Yuhi Shinku quite likes Akiyama Shun. Although he is an orphan with no background, he himself does not value such things. Moreover, the boy is smart and hardworking, having already refined chakra before enrollment; calling him a genius is not an exaggeration at all.

Especially since the boy gets along well with his daughter, Yuhi Shinku is very willing to look after him in daily life.

"Pardon the intrusion, Shinku-sama."

Dinner was a seafood feast. At the table, Yuhi Kurenai took the opportunity to act spoiled toward Yuhi Shinku: "Father, I want to be in the same class as Shun."

Yuhi Shinku was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha, you don't need to tell me for that to be the result. Your grades and Shun's grades are both excellent; it is only natural that you will be assigned to the same class."

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing this news, Yuhi Kurenai raised her hands high in excitement, performing a celebratory gesture.

Akiyama Shun and Yuhi Shinku sat to the side, watching her with smiles.

Akiyama Shun ate this meal with great satisfaction; after all, he is currently dirt poor, and this meal is something he couldn't afford even if he emptied his entire savings.

After dinner, Akiyama Shun returned to his home, standing by the window blowing in the night breeze, and began to organize his future plans.

First is the biggest problem, which is the impending Ninja World War!

If he remembers correctly, in about four or five years, the Third Ninja World War will begin.

That is a true meat grinder. To cope with the war, some ninja academy students were even graduated early and sent directly to the front lines. And in that place, the matchmaking mechanism is even more brutal than the Naruto mobile game; it is entirely possible to encounter the A-Bee Duo in one's very first battle immediately after graduating early from the academy.

With his current strength, the probability of survival is truly not very high. If he wants to rapidly increase his combat power over these next few years, he must make good use of his golden finger: card draws!

Card draws require gold coins, and the way to obtain gold coins quickly is to rapidly increase his rank, which means...

Graduating from the Ninja Academy at the fastest possible speed to become a Genin!

Once he reaches Genin, his monthly welfare stipend will reach 1,600, and at the same time, the daily check-in gold coin reward will increase to 60!

That amounts to 20 draws per month!

Compared to his current situation, it is a world of difference.

With his current strength, he is fully qualified to graduate early, but the problem is that if he were to apply now, the school wouldn't even look at it before rejecting him outright.

There is no other reason: he hasn't learned the "Will of Fire"!

If one hasn't learned this thing, then under no circumstances will they be allowed to graduate; this is the underlying logic.

Secondly, he lacks a background, and his displayed talent is not yet sufficient.

Akiyama Shun is very clear about his image in the eyes of Yuhi Shinku. He is already grateful that the other party is willing to look after him, and he does not expect to trouble him in other areas; it cannot be counted as a background.

As for talent, his past performance could be considered that of a genius, but it is not enough. Even Kakashi's early graduation was only permitted because of the death of the White Fang combined with the looming war and various other overlapping factors.

Since he lacks the "dead hero father" buff, if he wants to graduate early, he must reveal even more terrifying talent!

In other words, if he wants to graduate early, he must not only finish learning the Will of Fire but also display talent that completely crushes everyone else in the Ninja Academy within a short period of time!
