Time flew by, and only a few months remained before the system's two-year deadline.
Yet Shinichi's training had already reached its peak—he had fully mastered Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Not only that, he had even taught Tsunade and Orochimaru how to use Lightning Release Chakra Mode along the way, bringing the Raikage's exclusive jutsu into Konoha's repertoire.
As for Jiraiya?
Heh. He was still enduring grueling training and eating bugs with the toads on Mount Myōboku. His progress wasn't even in the same league.
"The question now is..."
Shinichi sat cross-legged on a rooftop in the Uchiha Clan Compound, casually tossing a ball of Lightning Release chakra in his hand, his gaze thoughtful.

After all, his previous development of Ice Release had only reached the system's baseline. Clearly, its definition of power went far beyond merely mastering something on the surface.
"Damn it, isn't this system
