Rope Tree's Challenge

Everyone could not help but sigh in admiration, filled with respect.

When they first arrived in the class, everyone was a genius from a major clan, and no one was willing to submit to anyone else. But now, as time passed, the other Rookies realized that there existed monsters in this world even more formidable than geniuses!

When Keigo Uchiha appeared.

Anyone else's radiance seemed incredibly insignificant beside him.

Yet, the light they carried seemed even brighter than usual.

"Keigo Uchiha possesses a talent that surpasses even geniuses. Perhaps under his leadership, this generation of youths will become the strongest generation yet!"

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the smiling crowd in the crystal ball, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He had already placed his bet early.

Now, he just had to wait to reap the rewards!

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Keigo Uchiha, Kamimura Yanoi often felt that... he could hardly be considered a teacher anymore.

"Keigo, you said that when I perform hand seals, the chakra in my body is always correspondingly slow. What should I do?"

Yamanaka Asagao smoothed her blonde hair, her brows tightly furrowed.

"I have recently broken through to three seals per second, but now the chakra in my body cannot keep up with the speed of the hand seals!"

She had been thinking about this matter for several days!

Kamimura Yanoi on the podium looked at the sky in speechlessness!

"Damn it! Do you guys even have me, your teacher, in your eyes? Clearly, I am the teacher, hey!"

Kamimura Yanoi could not help but retort.

"Relax, relax. Teacher, the content you teach is too obscure and difficult to understand; it's not as easy to grasp as what Keigo explains."

Yamanaka Asagao gave a playful smile.

Immediately, everyone nodded in succession.

"That's right, that's right. Keigo explains it the most clearly, and it's easy to understand!"

"I always failed my hand seals when practicing Fire Release ninjutsu before. Teacher, you didn't even spot the problem, but Keigo pointed out the issue with my chakra flow!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke retorted without any hesitation.

For a moment, the classroom was filled with mockery, while simultaneously showing their reliance on Keigo Uchiha.

There was no helping it.

Keigo Uchiha's explanations were too simple and easy to understand.

They were even clearer than what the teachers at home taught, and Keigo would even demonstrate it for you!

Whether it was ninjutsu, hand seals, taijutsu, chakra manipulation, kunai throwing, or swordsmanship.

Keigo Uchiha could always point out the root of the problem with pinpoint accuracy!

Kamimura Yanoi: "..."

Damn it!

He was being mocked!

He could not help but sigh in frustration, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at Keigo Uchiha, who was surrounded by the crowd, and had no doubt that Keigo Uchiha's current strength was even greater than his own!

"Your problem is not difficult to solve. It requires constant practice of chakra control to make the chakra more flexible and flow through your body more effortlessly." Keigo Uchiha thought for a moment. "If you practice chakra normally, you can solve your problem in a month."

"The speed of hand seals, the control of chakra, and the speed of guiding the flow are all key factors that cannot be ignored."

Keigo Uchiha finally stated the key points.

This made Yamanaka Asagao understand even more clearly.

[Ding! The Golden Egg System lottery countdown has ended!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Golden Egg lottery chance. Would you like to use it now!]

Keigo Uchiha's eyes lit up, not at all surprised.

"Since the first Golden Egg lottery, where I drew Storm Release, has it finally reached the second lottery chance!"

His gaze was full of anticipation.

The Golden Egg lottery system allowed him to draw once a year. The previous Storm Release had given him a taste of success, and it made practicing the Nintaijutsu of Kumogakure even more effortless!

Furthermore, his strength had grown rapidly.

And this time, what kind of ability would he obtain?

"Start the lottery immediately!"

Keigo Uchiha did not hesitate to chant silently in his heart!

The next moment.

Within his mental space, a golden egg radiated a brilliant, shimmering light, glowing with a mesmerizing hue.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent 'Absolute Control'!]

[Absolute Control: Capable of perfectly controlling everything about oneself, including muscles, chakra, and even the level of calmness in the brain!]

Keigo Uchiha's eyes lit up.

Absolute Control?!

To think I would draw such an ability. Although it isn't a power like Storm Release, Absolute Control... is even more important than raw power!

A hint of pleasant surprise inadvertently flashed in his eyes. This means I can precisely grasp every situation on the battlefield, understand the state of my own body, and perform at a perfect state!

How terrifying was this ability?

It was equivalent to him, a human, possessing a 'Super Brain'!

Combined with the terrifying dynamic observation of the Sharingan, he would become a terrifying machine; any enemy before him would fall into despair!

"Keigo Uchiha! I have been constantly training my hand seal speed for this past year, so... I want to challenge you!"

Just as Keigo Uchiha was contemplating how to utilize the advantages of 'Absolute Control' and how to maximize its potential.

He suddenly heard the provocative voice of Senju Nawaki.

He stood proudly in front of Keigo Uchiha and grinned.

"This past year, this young master hasn't been idle at all. Constant training has made my current strength incredibly powerful. This time... I'll start by competing with you in hand seal speed!"

By the end of his sentence, Senju Nawaki's voice dropped a little.

He sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.

But when it came to hand seal speed, he was once again full of conviction!

Throughout this year, he had even slowed down his training in other areas.

He had poured all his energy into hand seal speed.

He was willing to sacrifice his overall balance just for this!

His goal was simply to defeat Keigo Uchiha!

Since he had put all his energy into hand seal speed, he surely wouldn't be worse than Keigo Uchiha, who was distracted by many things, right?

He... only needed to beat Keigo Uchiha in one area!

As for why he specialized in hand seals?

Because compared to ninjutsu, taijutsu, or shurikenjutsu, Nawaki felt that hand seals were the fastest to improve.

"You? Challenge Keigo? Nawaki, have you lost your mind?"

Kurama Shimotsuki laughed.

She looked at him as if he were a fool.

Keigo Uchiha's strength was plain for all to see; even their teacher couldn't guarantee a win against Keigo Uchiha, yet now, the dead-last Senju Nawaki dared to challenge him!

"Nawaki, you are no match for Keigo. To be precise, even if we all teamed up, we might not be a match for Keigo."

Nara Kano sighed and tried to dissuade him.

Throughout this year, he had constantly been observing Keigo Uchiha.

But the more he observed, the more alarmed he became!

Over this past year, Keigo... seemed to frequently use Shadow Clones to attend school. He couldn't even tell which day the Keigo he saw was the real one; this had already surpassed the scope of a mere genius!

"Don't worry about that!"

Senju Nawaki was furious.

The feeling of being looked down upon made him very unhappy. "Keigo Uchiha, do you dare or not? Whoever loses has to call the other 'Master' whenever they see them from now on!"
