Reaching the limit

" Bye Neji! "

Neji nodded his head, and spoke in an elegant way

" See you later Shin. "

Tenten didn't say her bye though, as she and Shin were walking in the same direction.

Tenten started talking, now that Neji had left.

" I can't believe it, it has been a year, it feels like it was only yesterday we joined team Guy. "

Shinnosuke smiled, yes, time had surely passed quickly.

" It was a fun year. D ranks were made hilarious by Guy sensei, the training opportunities he found for us there, were amazing. "

Tenten rolled her eyes, of course Shinnosuke would find such training methods amazing.

" You and your training fever. Guy sensei is like that too. At least you are cooler, if not I might not like you anymore Shin! "

Shinnosuke shrugged.

" Really? That would be a relief. "

The response Tenten gave was a light hit to the chest and a pout.

" Meanie... But really Shin. Our team might be coming to an end now.. in a few more months.. "

Tenten was looking down, Guy had given them some news.

She was both happy and sad with the news.

Shinnosuke himself didn't seem to care much, he had set up his next step of the plan, now even if the squad ends in a few months, he will be safe.

Smiling lightly at Tenten, Shin spoke his words in a soft tone.

" It's only Chunin exams, and there are still some months remaining, it's not like we can't form a squad after we are all promoted, just Guy sensei will be with us no longer.. likely will give full time to his personal apprentice. "

Tenten nodded, now slightly happy, at least Shin was still ready to form a team with her, she didn't care about Neji, he will join where Shin joined.

Neji had developed a huge amount of respect for Shin throughout the year.

Shin defied his fate and rose from the ashes even as he clan got massacred.

That is what Neji says nowadays, as he followed Shin's lead, Tenten honestly thought he listened to Shin more than he did to Guy.

' But who am I to complain, I am like that too.. hehe. '

His personality charm was just that great, you can't not follow his lead.

" Anyway, my brother, Sasuke is graduating today,I will be waiting for him. Need to meet his team members. "

Tenten exclaimed.

" That was today?? Time really did fly huh.. "

Shinnosuke just nodded, he needed to get going now.

Saying his goodbye, Shin left Tenten as he walked towards his home.

' I need to check everything is in place or not, I can't mess this up. '

Thought Shinnosuke, he had taken a lot of time pushing himself to the very limit his three tomoe Sharingan could carry him, just for today.

After all, if everything goes according to plan, today will be the day he will unlock his Mangekyou..

* Screech *

Shin opened the door his residence.

He gently removed his slippers as he he started roaming around the house.

" Sharingan."

Shin's Sharingan sprung to life, as three tomoe were spinning in his eyes.

And as soon as his Sharingan was activated, the view before Shin changed.

" Hmm. It's all perfect. "

Shin murmered, as he looked around his house, which was now densely packed with sealing justu.

Every wall, celing, floor and furniture was covered with sealing justu.

" It took a whole month of work to set this up, these seals need to hold for what I am about to do. "

Seals had a way of hiding themselves until it was triggered, Shin simply made use of the Uchiha variant of that, the seals could only be seen with a three tomoe Sharingan when his chakra activates it.

' Itachi had used a similarly formed transfer seal on Sasuke in canon, nobody could see it. Only it's effects were visible. '

Shinnosuke closed his Sharingan, he didn't feel any lag from the closing of the doujutsu, after one more year of training, Shin had truly pushed the three tomoe Sharingan to the limit.

' I am now comfortably base S class Shinobi. I don't even have anything left to learn from Uchiha books, I have even mastered Izanami and Izanagi. '

Shin was truly ready now. He didn't rush anything. He took his time honing himself, and now it has shown results.

" If I was a video game character, I would have hit a level cap currently, every stat is also capped, well not really, I can still become stronger, but it would be the old fashioned way, growing up and training for decades to go up slightly more. "

Shin gently gripped his fist.

" I obviously won't do that, why chose the hard way when I am an Uchiha! Mangekyou is the way to go, no decades of waiting for me, once I get it, I could just sleep and it would push me to the level of heavy hitters of Akatsuki, eventually. "

So Shin had finally decided to go for it, his plans will come to play as soon as Sasuke's graduation ends and he comes home.

" It is time you help your brother achieve Mangekyou... Sasuke.. "

Don't let me down..

Shinnosuke whispered softly, as he prepared a scrumptious meal for when his brother gets home.

That is the least he could do for Sasuke..
