Ninja Academy, on the rooftop.

"Mind's Eye of the Kagura and Physical Healing should both be Karin Uzumaki's skills. Multi-Size Technique comes from the Akimichi Clan, and Eight Inner Gates comes from Rock Lee. Impure World Reincarnation should be Orochimaru's skill, and Hell Viewing Technique is also a genjutsu Orochimaru can use. As for Magnet Release Bloodline... Could that be Gaara's Kekkei Genkai?" Su Yu analyzed the abilities he had obtained.

Based on the information he had so far,

it seemed that bloodlines of the same type could not be obtained more than once.

Of course, dōjutsu should count as skills.

Su Yu looked over the skills he had obtained this time, his gaze settling on the last genjutsu.

Hell Viewing Technique was only a low-level genjutsu. It could make someone see the scene they feared most.

"Consume Multi-Size Technique to upgrade Hell Viewing Technique!"

"Consume Shadow Possession Technique to upgrade Hell Viewing Technique!"

"Consume Eight Inner Gates to upgrade Hell Viewing Technique!"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu began upgrading Hell Viewing Technique.

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the S-rank skill Hell Viewing Technique. It has reached its upgrade limit." The system notification rang out.

"Consume Magnet Release Bloodline to upgrade the Uchiha Clan bloodline," Su Yu continued.

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Two-Tomoe Sharingan!" The system notification rang out.

Wearing his mask, Su Yu looked ahead as the Two-Tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

Shadow Possession Technique required the user's direct control, and its effect was similar to genjutsu. Multi-Size Technique made its target too large, while Eight Inner Gates was something he could learn later.

What did it mean to have an S-rank Hell Viewing Technique?

It meant even an elite jonin could fall victim to it. This technique was more ruthless than any other genjutsu.

If Su Yu reached the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the genjutsu amplification would make Hell Viewing Technique even more terrifying, on par with a dōjutsu.

Unfortunately, self-taught ninjutsu couldn't be used to upgrade skills he'd drawn, nor could it upgrade techniques he'd learned. Otherwise...

Su Yu would upgrade Rasengan right away!

The Two-Tomoe Sharingan's copying ability could replicate taijutsu and some ninjutsu, which would make things much easier for him.

As for what he needed to advance to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan,

Su Yu had already set his sights on Yuki Haku.

He didn't believe he couldn't draw Ice Release in ten tries.

Yakushi Kabuto had given him a chance to go to the Land of Waves, and Su Yu wasn't going to waste it.

"An advancement mission has been activated."

"Use an S-rank skill once."

"Complete the mission to unlock a new achievement. Failure will result in the loss of one skill."

The system notification rang out again.

Su Yu froze in place.

This advancement mission...

Was the system just handing it to him for free?

Both Impure World Reincarnation and Hell Viewing Technique were S-rank skills. He couldn't use Impure World Reincarnation right now, but he could use Hell Viewing Technique.

"Could this be a reward for using up a skill?" Su Yu wondered.

He glanced at a crow that had just landed.

The crow looked back at him.

Su Yu used Hell Viewing Technique.

The next second,

the crow fell to the ground, lifeless.

That was how terrifying an S-rank genjutsu was.

A new achievement list appeared.

1. Learn an A-rank ninjutsu (repeatable)

2. Obtain the Two-Tomoe Sharingan (completed)

3. Defeat a Special Jonin once

4. Learn a genjutsu

5. Learn the Summoning Technique

6. Consume a skill (repeatable)

(Up to ten ability draws.)

Su Yu wasn't too surprised when he saw the achievement list.

Compared with the previous achievement missions, these were much more difficult.

The repeatable requirement meant he could learn an A-rank ninjutsu more than once, but each one would take at least several days.

As for the repeatable skill-consumption mission, it was pretty much the same as resetting his skills.

Consume a skill, and get an ability draw in return.

Mind's Eye of the Kagura was the Uzumaki Clan's strongest sensory ninjutsu, capable of detecting all chakra activity within ten kilometers.

It could even lock onto a specific target's chakra and track it.

This skill was on par with the Byakugan.

If the Byakugan weren't connected to the Tenseigan, Su Yu would have consumed it long ago.

Besides Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Physical Healing was another innate skill of the Uzumaki Clan.

Simply put, an injured person could bite its user to recover chakra and heal their injuries. The user could also use it on himself.

That raised a question.

How could the user restore his own chakra and heal his own injuries when he was running low on chakra?

Su Yu guessed it consumed the user's life energy.

Everyone had a finite amount of life energy. The Uzumaki Clan possessed far more than ordinary people, and this energy could heal and replenish themselves or restore others. But everything came at a cost. Once someone's life energy was exhausted, they died.

That was probably what had happened to Karin Uzumaki's mother.

Su Yu used Mind's Eye of the Kagura to scan the chakra around him.

He memorized everyone's chakra.

The Genin sitting inside and the Jonin gathered nearby—they were all future main characters.

As long as he remembered their chakra, they wouldn't be able to sneak up on him.

By the time the first Chunin Ninja Exam had ended,

Su Yu left with the students who had passed.

The second exam would take place in the Forest of Death, where he had gone before, though the rules and difficulty were completely different.

The second exam's proctor was Mitaraishi Anko.

Su Yu waited until everyone had entered the Forest of Death before going in himself.

Mitaraishi Anko glanced at Su Yu, but paid him little attention.

There were already Anbu members in the forest. Su Yu was probably there on the same kind of assignment.

Su Yu hadn't entered the Forest of Death to look for Orochimaru. He had come to protect Hinata Hyuga.

Though his absence from the Chunin Ninja Exams might not cause any changes,

it was better to be safe than sorry.

Su Yu didn't want an oversight on his part to lead to an accident.

Of course, he was only using Mind's Eye of the Kagura to track Hinata Hyuga's team.

He also saw Gaara killing someone.

He made his way to a spot not far from Hinata Hyuga.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

Perhaps Gaara had recognized the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan and didn't want to cause trouble at that moment, so he spared the Reconnaissance Squad.

As Gaara and the others left,

Shino Aburame glanced behind him.

Kiba Inuzuka noticed Shino Aburame's movement and looked puzzled.

Nearby, Su Yu looked at the insect on his hand and realized Shino Aburame had detected him.

He flicked the insect away and quietly left.

Shino Aburame pushed up his glasses and looked at Hinata Hyuga, who seemed a little frightened.

"Looks like someone's been protecting us."

Kiba Inuzuka paused, understood what Shino Aburame meant, and couldn't help smiling.

Hearing Kiba Inuzuka laugh, Hinata Hyuga looked at him in confusion, unsure what had happened.

Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame exchanged a glance and tacitly kept quiet about it.

Su Yu moved away from the Reconnaissance Squad and found the main character team getting beaten up.

He was close by, but had no intention of going to their rescue. He simply watched in silence.

Orochimaru finished off the main character team and glanced in Su Yu's direction, but made no attempt to approach him.

Su Yu's ability to find this place had already proven what he could do. Orochimaru had studied the Uzumaki Clan and was quite satisfied with Su Yu's abilities.
