Three-Tomoe Sharingan

A few days later.

Just as Su Yu had expected, what happened to Gekko Hayate didn't attract any attention.

Konoha's official explanation was that he had died of illness. Uzuki Yugao voluntarily requested a transfer to the Medical Ninja Department, and the Third Hokage approved it immediately.

At the same time, she moved into the residence arranged by the Medical Ninja Department.

That evening.

Su Yu bought plenty of food and wine to celebrate with her.

A faint smile appeared on Uzuki Yugao's face.

After getting drunk, she leaned against Su Yu and cried her heart out.

Su Yu naturally didn't refuse, and even stayed the night at Uzuki Yugao's home.

After that night.

Su Yu didn't seek out Uzuki Yugao again.

The next day, however, Uzuki Yugao received flowers delivered by a flower shop.

She also learned from the delivery person that Su Yu had ordered flowers for a whole year and already paid for them.

Uzuki Yugao blushed. Remembering Su Yu's words, she couldn't help feeling conflicted.

Meanwhile.

By teaching Mitaraishi Anko a lesson, Su Yu gained his tenth chance to draw an ability.

Mitaraishi Anko was astonished by Su Yu's strength. His genjutsu in particular terrified her.

Since she had lost, she had to agree to one condition from Su Yu.

And so...

The Chunin Ninja Exams' official matches.

The outer edge of the spectator stands.

Wearing her Anbu uniform, Mitaraishi Anko cursed Su Yu several times in her heart.

Su Yu's condition had been for her to watch Hinata Hyuga here, in case anything went wrong.

If she left, Su Yu would make her experience the Hell Viewing Technique twice more. Mitaraishi Anko had no choice but to obey him and accept her loss.

As for where Su Yu himself had gone?

Mitaraishi Anko had no idea.

A corner of the spectator stands.

Su Yu sat beside a young girl.

"Long time no see," he greeted her.

"Long time no see, Su Yu," the girl replied.

That's right, it was Yuki Haku.

Dressed like a girl, he had snuck into the official matches of the Chunin Ninja Exams.

"Didn't Zabuza come?" Su Yu asked.

"Lord Zabuza wouldn't take that risk. The shinobi of Konoha are not to be underestimated," Yuki Haku said quietly.

Su Yu nodded in understanding.

Zabuza was a missing-nin from Kirigakure. If he came to Konoha, he would definitely be surrounded and attacked.

A missing-nin of jōnin rank was highly valuable.

"I came here both to watch the matches and to get a better idea of the strength of Konoha's younger generation," Yuki Haku explained.

"You should pay special attention to two people: Uchiha Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru," Su Yu advised.

Yuki Haku nodded.

Uchiha Sasuke was someone Zabuza had told him to keep an eye on.

From Nara Shikamaru's name, it was clear that he was a member of the Nara Clan. As the Hokage's think tank, the Nara Clan's intelligence went without saying.

Looking toward the Third Hokage, Su Yu began drawing abilities.

Since Yuki Haku had come right to him, he wasn't going to hold back.

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained five percent more chakra!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained five percent more chakra!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained five percent more chakra!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Eight Inner Gates!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Multi-Size Technique!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Shadow Possession Technique!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Body Flicker Technique!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained an Ice Release bloodline!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained Puppet Control!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"

Su Yu listened to the system's notifications.

At first, he remained calm. But when he heard Eight Inner Gates, Multi-Size Technique, and Shadow Possession Technique—

His head filled with question marks.

What was going on? Could he draw skills he had already used up?

Or was it because he was so close to them?

Su Yu glanced at the contestants' platform nearby.

A few seconds later.

He shook his head and silently thought to himself:

Use up Multi-Size Technique to upgrade Body Flicker Technique!

Use up Shadow Possession Technique to upgrade Body Flicker Technique!

Use up Puppet Control to upgrade Body Flicker Technique!

Use up Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals to upgrade Body Flicker Technique!

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the S-rank skill Body Flicker Technique. It has reached its upgrade limit," the system announced.

Hearing this, Su Yu looked forward to seeing what his Body Flicker Technique could do.

Then he took a deep breath.

Now came the important part.

Use up the Ice Release bloodline to upgrade the Uchiha Clan bloodline! Su Yu said to himself.

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!" the system announced.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, he had achieved the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

He watched Naruto Uzumaki make his entrance, waiting quietly for the plot to unfold.

To be honest, without the Nine-Tails' power, Naruto Uzumaki really couldn't beat Neji Hyuga.

Perhaps this was what happened when an overpowered cheat overwhelmed a player who had worked hard to level up.

Hyuga Hiashi also left at that moment.

It seemed he had prepared in advance to make Neji Hyuga feel moved.

Su Yu glanced toward Hinata Hyuga. Mitaraishi Anko was doing a decent job.

Suddenly, Su Yu sensed someone watching him.

He followed the gaze and spotted Uzuki Yugao looking at him from the Medical Ninja Department's section.

Su Yu smiled at her.

Then he stood up and left.

When Uzuki Yugao saw Su Yu disappear, she felt a little reluctant to see him go.

Su Yu changed into Anbu gear and went to Mitaraishi Anko's side.

"Your mission is over. You can leave."

Mitaraishi Anko was slightly taken aback.

Then.

She clenched her little fists and stormed off, fuming.

Su Yu had made her stand guard here, which had already annoyed her. Now he was telling her to leave without another word, making her even angrier.

Su Yu paid no mind to Mitaraishi Anko's anger and simply watched Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga.

He had already used the Byakugan to locate the Kumogakure shinobi hidden among the spectators.

Their mission here was the same as Yuki Haku's: to gather intelligence.

Once Konoha Crush began.

They would definitely turn their attention to Hinata Hyuga.

Kumogakure seemed to have an obsession with the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan.

And Su Yu wanted to find out just how much the Three-Tomoe Sharingan enhanced genjutsu.

The One-Tomoe was for observation, the Two-Tomoe for copying, and the Three-Tomoe strengthened genjutsu.

Besides that, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan could directly control ordinary shinobi or animals.

That was the advantage of the Sharingan.

Beyond that, the Mangekyō Sharingan could control Tailed Beasts, though it consumed a certain amount of ocular power.

The stronger the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, the more they lost.

Fortunately, Su Yu didn't have to suffer. He just didn't know whether he'd be able to keep upgrading his Sharingan in the future.

He was certain that advancing to the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would take more than consuming a single bloodline.

As time passed.

The official matches continued one after another, each one exciting.

Finally, Uchiha Sasuke made his entrance as the main event, drawing everyone's attention.

Most of the people in the stands had come to see him.

The battle between Gaara and Uchiha Sasuke turned fierce in an instant.

Uchiha Sasuke's rapid improvement exceeded the Sunagakure jōnin's expectations, and Gaara went berserk.

At the same time.

The shinobi of Sunagakure and Otogakure were already prepared to attack.

The Missing-Nin Arc has ended.

The Jōnin Arc begins.
