Education, Titles

In the Land of Rivers, at the Konoha Camp, in a small grove.

He had just exited meditation when the panel surprised him with another unexpected message.

[You are focusing on Advanced Meditation practice, Chunin job experience points +1]

[Congratulations! Your Genin job level has increased to Lv10 (1/2000)]

[Attribute Points +1, Skill Points +1]

[Congratulations! Your job level has increased to Lv10, triggering a job change notification.]

[1. Chunin Job Level Lv10Ma, not achieved]

[2. Basic physical requirements for Jonin: Constitution 20 points, Strength or Agility 25 points, Spirit 20 points, already achieved]

[3. Internal Chakra Reserves: 10,000 points, achieved]

[4. Village Jonin rank, not achieved]

First of all, leveling up again is something to be happy about; the increase in Attribute Points and Skill Points makes my survivability much better.

Then there's the triggering of the job change conditions. Look at these four conditions. I've already surpassed the physical fitness and Chakra Quantity of the first condition, and the job level and village Jonin rank of the second condition are even easier to meet.

Although it hasn't been achieved yet, it's only a matter of time. I estimate that these two things will definitely be achieved within this year, and then I will be able to smoothly change jobs.

And now, his own interface is absolutely gorgeous.

Assessment: You've already secured a place in the current Ninja World, but don't be too reckless; there are still many who could kill you.

Looking at his stats, Taiichi felt a sense of satisfaction. The only thing he might be lacking right now was strength and agility. Once those two attributes improved, he wouldn't have to worry about the Third Shinobi World War at all.

It's unknown what Senju Hashirama's attributes were like in his prime, or what kind of physical attributes he needed to possess such Chakra, allowing him to capture the Nine-Tails as easily as crushing a puppy.

It's something to aspire to, but I'm not bad myself. Sooner or later I'll catch up with Senju Hashirama, and even surpass him.

Having digested all the results of this trip, Taiichi patted his behind and headed towards the Camp. Now that the important matters were settled, it was time to think about what to do next.

Should they continue training at the Camp until Chiyo discovers that her poison is no longer effective, or should they venture out later to further improve themselves in battle?

After thinking it over and over without finding a clue, Taiichi decided to ask Jiraiya- sensei later if there had been any changes in the battle situation during this period. After all, he had been busy with training these past few days and hadn't paid much attention to what was happening outside.

Lost in thought, Taiichi found himself standing before his tent. The sounds of conversation inside interrupted Taiichi thoughts, and he realized he was back at the Camp.

Lifting the tent flap, they found Yohei and Kakashi. With the war situation stabilizing, they had recently reduced the frequency of their missions and spent more time training at the Camp.

"Yohei Cousin"

Hearing Obito's long, drawn-out cry, Taiichi got goosebumps all over, and both Kakashi and Rin in the tent made sounds of disgust.

Even Yohei himself shivered, his hands and feet constantly resisting Obito's approach.

But this time, Obito was determined to be shameless and continued to pester Yohei relentlessly.

"Teach me! How exactly do I use the Sharingan? I've already awakened it, but how come I still can't beat that white-haired Kakashi?!"

Obito believed he had awakened his Sharingan and greatly improved his strength, and had challenged Kakashi multiple times in the past few days.

He refused to admit defeat after losing once, took a day off, and continued the challenge. The result was predictable: he was essentially being offered a punching bag, so he figured he might as well take it.

And so, within a week, Obito challenged Kakashi four times and was thoroughly beaten four times.

Now that his defenses had been broken, he came straight to Yohei to learn his ultimate move.

Yohei was also Obito. He didn't even want to talk about what Uchiha and had no self-awareness whatsoever.

"Obito, have you ever considered that the reason you can't beat Kakashi isn't because your Sharingan is weak, but because your foundation is too poor!"

Obito aback, clearly not expecting Yohei to say that.

"Pfft!" Saori next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.

On the other side, Rin was also pinching her thigh, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Even Kakashi's lips were twitching.

"What are you saying? That's so funny!" Taiichi had obviously overheard their conversation, and he was deliberately trying to break the awkward atmosphere. Didn't you see Obito's face turn as red as an apple?

"Is Obito asking about the use of the Yohei Sharingan?" Saori lowered her hand from her mouth, relieving Obito's predicament.

"The Sharingan —isn't the One-Tomoe supposed to enhance dynamic vision and improve perception?" Taiichi looked at Yohei with a puzzled expression. "Does it have any other functions?"

Before Yohei could answer, Taiichi turned to Obito and asked, puzzled, "These shouldn't need to be learned, just practice more. Obito, didn't you realize that?"

A series of questions left Obito bewildered. He had been so focused on challenging Kakashi to a duel that he hadn't paid attention to these details at all. He was thinking about how to defeat Kakashi and demonstrate the power of his Sharingan.

Moreover, the difference in strength between Obito and Kakashi was indeed significant. The boost from the One-Tomoe Sharingan was practically meaningless to Kakashi; he could be defeated in just a few moves anyway.

This meant that Obito didn't sense anything different; the defeat was simply too swift and decisive.

"Obito, I have to say something to you about this. You were so eagerly anticipating the Sharingan, but after it awakened, you neither properly experienced its power nor trained regularly. You're wasting your talent, you know that?"

Taiichi said that on purpose, so that he wouldn't know his own limitations if he wasn't properly provoked.

"Yohei, it seems you haven't been training him enough. I've even heard he's been frequently sparring with others, which proves he's been too idle!"

Upon Obito this, Obito's face darkened, and he immediately looked up at Yohei with a pitiful expression.

This really made everyone in the tent laugh.

"Alright, alright." Yohei composed himself and called Obito over. "There aren't any other Uchiha ninjas here, so I'll tell you about the Sharingan!"

Obito immediately beamed and obediently sat down next to Yohei, not forgetting to give Kakashi a provocative look.

Kakashi ignored him and moved closer to Rin. This kind of information, while not classified, wasn't something just anyone could know.

"The One-Tomoe Sharingan, also known as the Insight Eye, as the name suggests, enhances dynamic vision, allowing you to clearly capture the enemy's subtle movements and discern their attack intentions—which is exactly what you are doing now."

"The Two-Tomoe Sharingan, also known as the Copy Eye, builds upon the One-Tomoe by gaining the ability to copy. It allows the user to observe and copy an opponent's non-bloodline limit Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu. Of course, this is on the premise that you have the basic conditions to perform these techniques. You can't expect someone who doesn't know Wind Style to perform Wind Release Ninjutsu simply by copying!"

"The Three-Tomoe Sharingan, also known as the Genjutsu Eye, enhances the first two abilities while also possessing the power of Hypnotic Eye, allowing it to unleash powerful Genjutsu. Of course, this varies from person to person; I'm not good at Genjutsu myself. Furthermore, many of the Uchiha's powerful secret techniques require the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to be used, but I won't go into detail about that."

These words filled Obito with excitement, making him yearn to immediately reach the level of Three-Tomoe, at which point he could easily defeat Kakashi.

Seemingly sensing Obito's thoughts, Yohei immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"The Sharingan is indeed powerful, and it greatly enhances a ninja's abilities. However, ultimately, it still requires the ninja to have high basic qualities. If your basic qualities are only one, even if the enhancement is doubled, it's only two. But if your basic qualities are one hundred, then after the enhancement is doubled, it's two hundred."

"Besides, Sharingan is already this difficult, so advancing it is even harder. You can't expect Rin to risk her life every time she advances, can you? Who knows, Rin might actually die in battle next time."

The tent immediately fell silent. This matter was a sore spot for Obito, and having it brought up again now was truly painful for him.

A long time.

"I—I'm going to exercise right now!" With that, he wiped the corner of his eye with Obito sleeve and ran out.

Rin glanced at Obito who had run off, then pulled Kakashi aside and said, "I'll go check on him. He needs to train properly too, otherwise his Taijutsu is too weak!"

Kakashi was pulled by Rin, and he had no choice but to get up and follow her out. After all, they were a team!

"Obito alright?" Saori asked worriedly from the side.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine in a couple of days. If he's not given a little nudge every now and then, he'll relax." Yohei had a lot of contact with Obito and knew his temperament very well.

"But Taiichi, why are you back so early? You're usually training in the grove at this time."

"Now that I've learned the Ninjutsu, I don't need to keep practicing anymore. I'll go to the Central Army Tent later to ask about any new arrangements for me."

Taiichi was also delighted by this, his smile impossible to hide. After all, an S-rank Ninjutsu is not something just anyone can learn, so if he didn't show off now, when would he?

Yohei and Saori were envious, but that was all they could do. None of the things Taiichi had done were things they could accomplish, and they were completely convinced of his abilities.

"By the way, Taiichi, you have a title now, did you know?" Yohei suddenly said to Taiichi with a sly look on his face.

"Yes, yes, the title! It's all over the place!" Saori chimed in, clearly aware of it as well.

"A title?" Taiichi asked curiously. He had been in the camp for some time and hadn't had much contact with others, so he naturally didn't know anything about these things. "What kind of title is it? Isn't it impressive!"

Yohei and Saori exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes, but under Taiichi's intense gaze, they didn't laugh out loud.

"White Reaper!"

"What! White! And Death God!" Taiichi looked at himself in confusion. His usual ninja vest was green, which was more like it. How could it be associated with white? Besides, this title was too lame!

"That's right, it's the White Reaper." Yohei said, suppressing a laugh, word by word.

"What bastard came up with this title? It's so irresponsible! I hope I never find out, or I'll make them understand why flowers are so red!"

Taiichi was fuming and complaining. "Can't you come up with a cooler title?" he said. "Fire Dancer," "Black Flash," or even "Ghost Swordsman" would be fine!

"I heard it originated from the Sunagakure." Saori wasn't smiling much at first, but seeing Taiichi's reaction, she couldn't help but laugh. "Weren't you wearing a doctor's white coat when you rescued us that day? That must be your look from back then."

"Yes, yes, definitely." Yohei added fuel to the fire, "Taiichi, you have no idea how famous you are now. It's all over the place, especially in Sunagakure. They're saying that if you meet someone, you can abandon your mission without any punishment!"

"Indeed!" Taiichi's expression changed. If it were an ordinary title, it would be fine, but this situation was clearly not right. A word immediately popped into Taiichi's mind—praise to death.

"What's wrong, Taiichi? Is something the problem?" Yohei noticed the change in Taiichi's expression. If he was just unhappy about the title before, now his face was very serious, indicating that something bad was about to happen.

"Don't you guys think this is spreading a little too fast? It's like someone is actively pushing it."

Yohei and Saori weren't stupid; they just hadn't thought of it before, but after Taiichi reminded them, they immediately realized it.

Indeed, it seems like everyone knew within just one day.

"The White Reaper!" Encountering him will automatically discontinue your mission!

The phrase "to praise someone to death" immediately came to their minds.

"What should we do then!" Saori said with concern.

"You all stay here. I'll go to the Central Command Tent to report this matter and see what Jiraiya- sensei has to say."

After saying this, he waved to the two men and immediately left the tent.

Only two people remained in the tent, their faces filled with worry. "Oh, what kind of mess is this? We thought it was going to be a good thing, but we never expected this—"

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!" Saori replied helplessly. "Let's go train too. Only when we're strong enough can we face these schemes and tricks without fear!"

With that, he got up and left the tent. Seeing this, Yohei didn't hesitate any longer, got up as well, and ran outside to exercise.

Taiichi arrived at the Central Army Tent in a great hurry, attracting the curious glances of those who had been following along the way, while whispers of conversation also reached Taiichi ears.

"It's the White Reaper!"

"Who is this? That title is really impressive!"

"Taiichi, don't you know? It's all over Sunagakure!"

"Really? As expected of Taiichi, a man even his enemies respect!"

Each word of praise, however, made Taiyi feel like he was sitting on Taiichi and needles, as if they were death knells wishing him dead sooner.

Finally, Taiichi arrived at the Central Army Tent.
