The Genin exam! Part-2
'Horse -> Tiger -> Ram -> Monkey -> Boar -> Horse -> Tiger'
I widened my stance a bit before bringing my fingers close to my mouth and firing the jutsu at an angle into the sky, the fireball wasn't large, I had used less than the usual amount of chakra on the jutsu, it was 2m in diameter but it was blazing hot, my affinity must be fire or maybe it was because of my excellent chakra control because the fire was definitely hotter than when I first learned the jutsu.
[Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu level +1]
'Wait, that jutsu was nowhere near leveling up, what the fuck happened?' I was confused and while the Third Hokage and the rest watched the fire jutsu I opened its description.
[Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu] (Active) [Level 21 (12.23%)]
A C rank offense ninjutsu, it is considered the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan. The user kneads chakra in their body and turns it into fire natured, which they then expel from their mouth; the more chakra they use, the more flames that are produced.
{CP cost: 100+?{can be varied}}
{Requirements: Chakra Control>35%}
{Affinity Bonus- x}
{Hand Seals Required - Horse -> Tiger}
'Exactly as far as I remember it was level 20 (12.23%) there is no way it leveled up due to this demonstration right?' I was tempted to try the dragon fire technique to try and understand what had happened but I managed to control that urge, bowing to the 3 elders and the Hokage I turned around and walked back.
'There is no need to show off now, it's better to just wait, I am plenty powerful as far as genin are concerned...'
"Uchiha Itachi," Takami sensei shouted and Itachi stepped up, demonstrating the three basic ninjutsu perfectly and then launching the Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu in the air like me. I had to smile internally as I noticed that even though the size of the fireball was the same as mine, Itachi had probably mastered the jutsu to a certain extent too.
"Yamanaka Asano..." Takami sensei continued his roll but my attention shifted away from the young girl, I looked around and noticed Fugaku-sama having a pleased smile on his face, even though he had already noticed the distance that the civilian populace had created from him. I sighed, once again the impending doom coming to my mind, the worst of all was I never watched the anime till the end, after Jiraya's death and the hundreds of filler episodes my mood was turned off from the world, I know Sasuke and Naruto managed to seal the big bad villain Kaguya Otsutsuki, and I watched the youtube compilation of the whatever happened in the war.
------------------
{1 and a half-hour later...}
"That's it for the day, the ones who have managed to pass would need to report to the academy in three days for your team assignment, dismissed." Takami sensei dismissed us as I held the Konoha forehead protector in my hand. As soon as he finished speaking several notifications pinged in front of me.
[Hidden Objective completed: Became Genin]
[Title tab Unlocked]
[Uchiha Skill Tree unlocked]
[Konoha Skill Tree unlocked]
[Konoha Genin Title unlocked]
[Konoha Genin]: {Gain +5%EXP from mission assigned by the Konoha Mission Dept. +5% Skill EXP gain}
'...' I went through the notifications one by one before changing my title from nothing to Konoha Genin, after that, I thought, 'Skill tree...' when nothing popped up I thought, 'Uchiha Skill Tree...' A new window appeared in front of me, it was kind of like the skill tree that was available in the Assasin's Creed games, there were two learning categories, Physical and Spiritual. There was a progressive list and sometimes branches that spawned from a point, but the odd thing was instead of buying the skills with points, I would get SP, which I could then use to enhance my Sharingan.
[Physical Skill Tree]
[Uchiha Interceptor Fist- 1 SP per level], [Uchiha Kenjutsu Style- 1SP per Level], [Taijutsu- 1SP per 2 Levels], [Kenjutsu-1SP per 2 Levels], [Body Enhanching- 1SP per 2 Levels]...
[Spiritual Skill Tree]
[D-Rank Jutsu- 1SP per Level]
[C-Rank Jutsu- 2SP per Level]
[B-Rank Jutsu- 5SP per Level]
[A-Rank Jutsu- 10SP per Level]
[S-Rank Jutsu- 100SP per Level]...
[Doujutsu Skill Tree]
[One-Tomoe Sharingan- Already acquired]
[Two-Tomoe Sharingan- Already acquired, 100SP = 1 Level]
[Three-Tomoe Sharingan- 300 SP]
[Mangekyou Sharingan- 1000SP-(Sharingan Level)*10]
[Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan- 10,000 -(Mangekyou Sharingan Level)*50]
I stared at the Uchiha skill tree for a second, then at the massive cost of getting the Eternal, which was equal to learning 10 S-Rank Jutsu's and then leveling them up to level 10... at least I now have a way to get to Eternal, I don't think I have a brother whose eyes would conveniently let me reach Eternal, and I would need them if what I remember from the 4th world war was going to happen.
'At least I have time, there is no way I can get from a newbie genin at 12 to defying the world and beating the shit out of everyone by 16 like Naruto and Sasuke, that powerup slope was a bit too steep if anyone thinks about it. I don't know why people are impressed by Itachi and Kakashi as geniuses...'
"Fujii-kun, let's go!" Fugaku's voice broke me out of my thoughts as I started walking with them back towards the village, I called out the Konoha Skill Tree in my mind and a much larger skill tree appeared in front of me, this one not only allowed skills from various branches such as gen, Tai, Fuin, Ken, etc but the EP points gained could directly be converted into EXP, along with a multitude of skills that were Konoha exclusive.
One among them stood out to me...
[Hiraishin no Jutsu- 10,000 EP]
One of the most deadly jutsu to ever exist in the Elemental nations, this could be my ticket to safety while also making me strong enough to survive in the world, just imagine, an Uchiha with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu... I clicked on it excitedly hoping more information would pop out...
[Fuin: Hiraishin no Jutsu] (Active)
An S rank Space-Time Ninjutsu, it is considered to be the pinnacle of Fuinjutsu. The Flying Thunder God Technique is a Space-Time Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, which allows the user to instantaneously teleport themselves to a previously marked location
{CP cost: 100 Per use}
{Requirements: Chakra Control>75%, Fuinjusu level>50}
{Affinity Bonus- x}
{Hand Seals Required - None}
----------------------------
AN: Tell me what you think about the skill tree system, it isn't instant power up but more of a grind, anyway we'll meet Fujii's teammates soon, maybe I'll post another chapter today, or if that doesn't happen then same time tomorrow!
Peace!
