The Chunin Exam in the Hidden Cloud Village had ended, and the ninjas from various villages had returned to their homes.
Naturally, news of the Chunin Exam and the performance of the Konoha ninjas spread quickly.
Particularly noteworthy was the fact that the winner of the individual combat competition was a six-year-old Uchiha prodigy from the Hidden Leaf Village. This information caused quite a stir in the Hidden Sand, Hidden Stone, and Hidden Mist Villages.
The emergence of another super-genius in the Hidden Leaf Village made the other ninja villages uneasy.
A six-year-old with a two-tomoe Sharingan and Chunin-level strength?
In another ten years, could this child potentially become another Shisui Uchiha?
Or worse, in twenty to thirty years, could the ninja world see the rise of another Uchiha Madara, who could dominate the world?
This was certainly not good news for the other ninja villages.
...
However, Uchiha Akira didn't pay much attention to how other villages viewed him or how his reputation as a genius spread.
After all, what mattered more to him was how to survive the Uchiha Clan Downfall and how to deal with Orochimaru.
Additionally, since Danzo had already made a move against him, Uchiha Akira needed to be extremely cautious in the coming days.
Living in the Hidden Leaf Village felt like walking on thin ice-this was Uchiha Akira's primary concern at the moment.
"Indeed, whether it's in terms of talent or mental fortitude, you're far beyond me," Shisui silently nodded in approval at Uchiha Akira's attitude.
Despite being just six years old, suddenly gaining fame and recognition, Shisui had thought that Uchiha Akira might lose himself in the praise and flattery.
However, he was surprised to see that Akira seemed completely indifferent to the shock his reputation as a genius had caused.
Such a mindset made even Shisui feel inferior.
Recently, Uchiha Akira had thrown himself into missions like a man possessed.
In just two and a half months, he had completed three B-rank missions!
After deducting Konoha's share and Shisui taking the lion's share, Uchiha Akira had managed to save up more than 200,000 ryo!
During these two and a half months, Uchiha Akira had conducted more than 20 life simulations.
Some simulations were focused on learning new ninjutsu and gaining experience, while others were to glimpse future developments.
But most of them were aimed at increasing his chakra reserves.
Although none of these simulations resulted in his Sharingan evolving further, after more than 20 simulations, Uchiha Akira had reached the point where he could survive a year or more after escaping the Uchiha Clan Downfall.
As a result of these simulations, his chakra reserves had multiplied four to five times!
In terms of ninjutsu, Uchiha Akira had mastered Fire Release, Water Release, Sharingan genjutsu, and more, to the point where Shisui remarked that his progress was astonishing. In fact, Shisui noted that Uchiha Akira's overall strength had almost reached the level of a Jonin.
Indeed, in terms of ninjutsu, Uchiha Akira had become a well-rounded ninja, proficient in various Fire and Lightning Release techniques, swordsmanship, and more, with no apparent weaknesses.
Of course, it was widely acknowledged that once a member of the Uchiha Clan awakened the Sharingan, especially the three-tomoe Sharingan, they would have no weaknesses.
Initially, Uchiha Akira's chakra reserves were at the Chunin level-not particularly high, but not low either.
After more than 20 life simulations, with his chakra reserves multiplying four to five times, it was understandable that he was now on the verge of reaching Jonin-level chakra.
So when Shisui said that Uchiha Akira's overall strength was nearing Jonin-level, it made
sense.
On this day, at a training ground in the Uchiha Clan's territory, Shisui and Uchiha Akira were sparring. The two moved at lightning speed, exchanging blows.
Shuriken throws, genjutsu, close-quarters combat, and long-range ninjutsu attacks-every kind of battle technique was used in their duel.
After about half an hour, Uchiha Akira finally stopped, panting heavily.
"Shisui-sensei, as expected, you're the strongest Uchiha. I'm no match for you!" Uchiha Akira gasped, expressing his admiration for Shisui.
"Akira, your talent far surpasses mine. At the rate you're growing, it won't be long before you catch up to me!" Shisui said, unable to hide the amazement in his eyes.
Indeed, Shisui had been observing Uchiha Akira's progress as his teacher for about half a year
now.
In that time, Uchiha Akira had grown immensely.
He graduated from the Ninja Academy at six years old.
At six, he participated in the Chunin Exam and was promoted to Chunin.
At six, he had already reached the threshold of Jonin-level strength!
Completing the journey from an ordinary person to near-Jonin-level in just one year?
Such a terrifying growth rate was unprecedented in the ninja world!
"So, I'm just a fake genius," Uchiha Akira thought to himself, shaking his head internally as
The saw the awe in Shisui's eyes.
He knew the truth-while it seemed like he had only trained for less than a year, he had
conducted around fifty life simulations.
Compared to someone who had trained for fifty or sixty years, he had only just barely reached Jonin-level strength!
His innate talent was actually quite mediocre.
