Seeing the increasing chaos in the classroom, with girls starting to show a hostile atmosphere and boys seemingly about to fight, the Chunin teacher finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled,
"Quiet!"
"Next, Obito Uchiha!"
The Chunin teacher's authority still held. After his shout, the classroom quickly quieted down. Obito Uchiha glared angrily at Shin, then walked to the front.
He glanced at Rin, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and secretly cheered himself on, determined to surpass Shin in this test.
Bang!!
After performing hand signs, white smoke flashed.
The clone that appeared next to Obito Uchiha looked somewhat crooked. Although it could be considered a clone, it was clear at a glance that it was fake.
"50 points."
The Chunin teacher glanced at Obito Uchiha.
The Uchiha clan, known as a genius training ground, almost all its members were top students in the academy, but Obito Uchiha was an exception.
"Ahhh... I'll try again..."
Obito was naturally unwilling to accept a score of 50. He immediately performed hand signs again, but due to his mental state collapsing, his second attempt at the Clone Jutsu failed outright.
His third and final attempt was not much better than the first, with his final score only reaching 55, failing to pass the minimum requirement.
"..."
Shin also watched this scene, with only one thought in his mind.
His turning dark was simply ridiculous!
Just by witnessing Rin's death, Obito, this dead last, instantly turned dark. Not only did he awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and 'Kamui,' one of the strongest abilities, but his combat experience, personality, and willpower also underwent a 180-degree reversal.
Not long after, he attacked Hidden Leaf, released the Nine-Tails, and indirectly caused the death of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, one of the 'BUG characters.'
It was simply outrageous! If he hadn't known the original plot, he couldn't have imagined that Obito, who was so bad at even a simple Shadow Clone Jutsu, could become one of the future major BOSSes of the ninja world.
After shaking his head, Shin withdrew his gaze.
He didn't have any particular thoughts about Obito. After all, Madara Uchiha was the key figure hidden in the shadows. Even without Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha would just create another Shiro Uchiha or Kuro Uchiha or something.
Having enough strength himself was the most important thing.
After all, the Third Great Ninja War would begin in a year. During wartime, there were no graduation exams. At the age of nine, graduation was mandatory, meaning he could only stay in the academy for one more year if he wanted to.
"I wonder if I can achieve Jonin level strength in one year..."
Shin pondered.
In the Third Great Ninja War, Genin and Chunin were almost all cannon fodder. Fortunately, he was in Hidden Leaf. If he were in other villages, even Jonin would be cannon fodder, because there were BUG-like existences like Minato Namikaze who could instantly kill fifty Jonin.
If he could unlock a few more time-based abilities, then with just time power, he could traverse the ninja world. Unfortunately, currently, he could only use time acceleration corresponding to 1 point on the clock.
He still had to rely on ninjutsu and taijutsu.
Just as Shin was contemplating, a clear ding-dong sound suddenly rang in his mind, like a clock ticking past a certain point.
"Oh."
Shin let out a sound of surprise, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and immediately closed them.
After he closed his eyes, a massive, silver-white, illusory clock appeared in the dark world before him. He could clearly see the golden hour and minute hands.
The hour hand hadn't moved, still pointing to 1 o'clock.
In the center of the illusory clock's face, there was a mechanical text dial, as if recording a date, but it wasn't recording a date, but the time acceleration multiplier.
"No new ability unlocked, but..."
Shin pondered for a moment.
Click!
As his thoughts moved, the mechanical text made a clicking sound and rotated, jumping from 0 to 1, then to 2, and finally stopping at 3.
"Indeed, I can now enter triple speed state."
Seeing the number on the dial, Shin let out a small breath.
When he first transmigrated to this world, the time acceleration he could control was only between 1x and 1.5x. About a year later, he heard that ding-dong sound again, and the upper limit of his time acceleration rate became 2x.
Now the upper limit had become 3x.
"It seems the rate limit was also increased around this time last year... Perhaps every year, the maximum time rate I can accelerate will increase once?"
Shin had this thought.
Although he couldn't be sure, it seemed to be a pattern. Whether this was truly the case would become clear around this time next year.
It was a slight trouble that he still hadn't gained any other abilities, and he didn't know when the ability corresponding to the 2 o'clock marker would be unlocked.
However, even with just the current time acceleration, it was still extremely powerful.
What one perceived in the time acceleration state was that the world in front of them slowed down several times. Whether it was their own speed or reaction speed, etc., these were all conflict-free improvements!
If an ordinary Chunin could increase their time flow to five times, they would easily be able to deal with a Jonin. And if a Jonin could increase their time flow to five times, even the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages might not be able to win!
This was the same for Shin!
As long as he possessed Chunin-level strength in his normal state, he could contend with Jonin. And with Jonin-level strength, looking across the entire ninja world, few people would be able to touch him.
This premise was only five times speed. If the illusory clock could increase to ten times speed or even higher, then speed alone would already be an extremely terrifying ability.
"…How strong would Eight Gates Release be in a ten times speed state?"
Shin imagined a scene.
It was a massive air cannon, ten times stronger than Evening Elephant, tearing through clouds with a single strike, blasting the moon created by the Six Paths Sage in space into countless fragments.
Thinking of this, Shin couldn't help but take a breath, and it took him several seconds to come back to his senses.
Ten times speed plus Eight Gates Release was still a bit far off, but Eight Gates Release could indeed be considered. This should be one of the abilities most compatible with time acceleration.
As for others.
Ninjutsu released would not be affected by time acceleration to speed up their trajectory. The range covered by time acceleration was limited to his own body, but hand sign speed and release speed were also in multiplied states, which also had a considerable effect!
It was important to know that the speed of a ninjutsu release was crucial, just like the Flying Thunder God Jutsu that made the ninja world tremble; its power lay in its lack of hand signs and release delay!
Speaking of which.
He could now achieve triple speed. In his previous double-speed state, he could easily defeat Kakashi, who was already a Chunin. In his current triple-speed state, he should be able to easily defeat ordinary elite Chunin, though there should still be some gap to Jonin.
"…Close to Special Jonin?"
Shin assessed his current strength and felt that he was still a little short of Special Jonin, but reaching Special Jonin by this time next year should not be a problem.
In the ninja world, only by reaching Special Jonin could one barely be considered a 'strong person.' Chunin and Genin were basically cannon fodder in war.
Above Special Jonin, there were still Jonin and Elite Jonin. Above that was Kage, but this world didn't have the title of Kage, so in terms of ninja ranks, Elite Jonin was the pinnacle. However, in Shin's opinion, ninjas like the White Fang of Hidden Leaf and Danzo, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary Elite Jonin, could be called 'Kage-level' for easier distinction.
