21 - The Annoying Uchiha

No one knew this technique better than him…

Over the past half-month, Kakashi Hatake had tried countless methods.

Earth Release to block it, high-speed evasion, even trading injury for injury!

Yet he'd never won once…

Every time he improved and tried again, another fire dragon would emerge from that Great Fireball.

By the time it reached nine, he'd had no choice but to admit defeat…

Compared to the bloodline limit Yuto Souta refused to acknowledge,

this Fire Release was more like his true trump card!

Yuto Souta wasn't holding back, pouring every ounce of his chakra into the technique.

The result… a Great Fireball powerful enough to cancel out Revolving Heaven, plus a whopping twenty fire dragons!

It drained every last bit of chakra stored in Yuto Souta's cells…

But the outcome didn't disappoint!

Hyuga Kouta, barely clinging to his Byakugan, gathered what little chakra he had left into his palms.

The first dragon—he endured it head-on.

The chakra in his hands vanished entirely, leaving behind severe burns…

Then came the second.

This time, he had no strength to resist…

Yet he still raised his arms!

The searing heat engulfed the not-so-young Hyuga chunin.

It all happened in an instant.

By the time people recovered from the awe of those "miraculous" fire dragons, Hyuga Kouta lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.

His body was charred black from head to toe!

The two chunin proctors hurriedly formed seals, and even their teacher, Kuroshu Nen, snapped into action.

But someone was faster.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

"Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Walls!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A series of high-level techniques—Earth and Water Releases combined—finally quelled the sky full of fire dragons.

The Anbu had stepped in.

"Captain, he's still alive."

"Hm," the Anbu captain nodded. "Take him to the hospital first… use the prearranged route."

The captain's tone carried a hint of oddity.

The Hokage had given orders.

If anything went wrong during the exam, they were to ensure the injured party's safe delivery to the hospital, just in case.

But… no matter how he looked at it, he hadn't expected all this preparation to be for Hyuga Kouta!

The Anbu captain couldn't help but glance at Yuto Souta again.

His gaze now held a mix of fear and chill…

You hid it well, Yuto Souta.

This was what made the Uchiha so infuriating.

Power beyond the reach of ordinary people—they acquired it so effortlessly, and worse, they paired it with an untimely ambition.

With another cold glance at Yuto Souta,

the Anbu captain vanished with his team.

Yet from start to finish, Yuto Souta never spared the captain a look.

As Hyuga Kouta was consumed by the fire dragons, the system's main mission finally completed.

He was now reviewing his spoils…

[Main Mission: Graduate from the Ninja Academy - Completed.]

[Fixed Rewards: System Shop unlocked, 1000 Research Points awarded, Title updated to Konoha Genin, Life Energy/Chakra Capacity increased by 100%.]

[Additional Rewards: Bloodline Limit - Sharingan unlocked, Current Proficiency Lv1 (35/100), Ninjutsu level cap raised to Lv2.]

[Main Mission Updated: Master Chakra Nature Transformation, Progress: 13%, Reward: Ninjutsu Master upgraded to Lv2.]

A System Shop tab appeared in his personal interface, his stats doubled, his title shifted to Konoha Genin, and every technique in his ninjutsu arsenal upgraded to Lv2 without exception.

Most crucially…

His Sharingan had awakened.

Yuto Souta felt strange.

The doubling of his chakra capacity erased the exhaustion that should've come from such massive consumption.

At the same time, a cool sensation surged through his mind.

As that coolness flooded his eyes, the world before Yuto Souta began to change…

It slowed down.

The single-tomoe Sharingan's dynamic vision made everything feel sluggish!

He could even see the sweat sliding down everyone's foreheads…

And most importantly, the Sharingan amplified his chakra control.

Like a weaker version of the Ninjutsu Master aura.

It reduced unnecessary chakra waste, and with precise manipulation, his techniques gained a noticeable power boost.

"Congratulations, Souta."

Teacher Kuroshu Nen's complex voice snapped him back to reality.

A ninja headband was handed to him.

"No matter what… you're a ninja now."

He didn't know why this student had been a slacker before…

But it didn't matter.

At least, in his final exam at the ninja academy, he'd achieved an impressive result.

"Congrats, Souta!" Obito Uchiha chimed in with his own cheer from the side.
