Copy Ninja Uchiha Shintaro

Although Kakashi was defeated by Shintaro, it didn't change the fact that he was a genius.

In terms of ninjutsu, he was almost a level ahead of his classmates. Even if he were to take the graduation exam now, it wouldn't be a problem.

Kakashi stood indifferently. The Clone Technique was too basic for him.

Tanakaichi didn't specify that he had to demonstrate the most basic Clone Technique, so Kakashi casually showcased the strongest clone technique he had mastered, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

As a burst of white smoke appeared, Kakashi's clones instantly filled the entire classroom, at least a dozen or twenty of them.

The students in the class were all amazed at how powerful this move was, but Kakashi didn't care about their reactions and instead turned to look at Shintaro.

Seeing Shintaro's blue eyes fixed on one of the clones, Kakashi thought the other was also stunned by this technique, so he couldn't help but proudly raise the corner of his mouth.

The upper limit of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was much higher than when they had fought, so he felt it was natural for the other to react this way.

However, what Kakashi didn't realize was that Shintaro's Six Eyes were glowing slightly, a sign that they were activated.

Shintaro used his Six Eyes to carefully observe the chakra flow of the clones, including the chakra flow in Kakashi's body as he formed the seals.

The ability of the Six Eyes is to see the details of techniques. After injecting chakra into the Six Eyes, he could also see the chakra flow in detail, and this level of detail was comparable to high-resolution thermal imaging instruments. This allowed Shintaro to directly see the principles and methods of the technique and ninjutsu.

Kakashi withdrew his chakra at this moment, and Shintaro thought to himself: 'The principle is clear, and I will succeed if I try it a few times.'

Kakashi didn't know that his special skill was being scrutinized by Shintaro at this moment, so he sat down after receiving endless praise from the teacher.

Shintaro was called by the teacher right after Kakashi, and what he demonstrated was not the shadow clone he had just secretly learned, but the most basic clone technique.

It wasn't because he wasn't confident in successfully using the shadow clone, but because he intended to keep his abilities hidden.

Shintaro sealed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu he had secretly learned in his heart and didn't intend to reveal it.

The level of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is not low. He had just joined Konoha. Displaying the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu recklessly would not only raise suspicions but could also reveal his greatest current reliance – The Six Eyes.

Shintaro planned to find a reasonable explanation before revealing the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, such as a training method he obtained from his family, or wait until he awakened the Sharingan. He heard that the Sharingan had the ability to copy ninjutsu, so he could explain that he had learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu then.

The students in the class also discussed who was more talented, Shintaro or Kakashi.

Although Shintaro had defeated Kakashi, this could be attributed to reasons like accidental carelessness, and Kakashi was a veteran genius in the class, and his current ninjutsu skills were higher than Shintaro's, so Kakashi was not at a disadvantage in this confrontation.

Fans supporting Shintaro claimed that he was more talented and his learning ability would soon surpass Kakashi.

In short, neither side could do anything against the other.

Shintaro and Kakashi, the center of this confrontation, claimed they didn't care about this.

Talking about victory was meaningless, especially for Shintaro, who didn't care about the blind comparison among children, and even Kakashi didn't care about it.

That day's class ended quickly, as the students debating who was more talented, Shintaro or Kakashi, dispersed one by one.

Shintaro saw that it was still early and planned to go to Konoha's training ground to observe.

This time, copying the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu gave him a clear idea of its benefits. Copying ninjutsu greatly increased his strength. Before Shintaro awakened the cursed technique, this ninjutsu would be his foundation for gaining a foothold.

There are a total of forty-four training grounds in Konoha. Except for the forty-fourth training ground, the others are open to the public year-round.

This allowed Shintaro to copy various ninjutsu. At least at this stage, the more ninjutsu he mastered, the better.

But as he was packing up and about to leave, Kurenai next to him pulled him back.

Shintaro turned around in confusion and saw her smiling shyly, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. My father asked me to bring you after school."

Shintaro didn't refuse. After all, Shinku was a friend of his father during his lifetime and one of the few connections he had in this village.

"Yes."

Hearing his answer, Kurenai said happily, "Great, let's go together."

Shintaro nodded.

Asuma was already feeling a bit numb. In the presence of the two people next to him, he felt like an eyesore.

He clenched his fists and ran, catching up with the teacher and shouting, "Sensei, I want to change seats."

Poor Asuma chose to escape.

Kurenai looked at him running away in surprise. She didn't know why Asuma reacted so strongly.

At this moment, Shintaro interrupted her thoughts, "Which way is your house?"

He guessed the reason for Asuma's reaction. It was simply jealousy after seeing the interaction between him and Kurenai.

Kurenai came to her senses and then led Shintaro to her home.

Her house was in a pretty good location, close to the center of the village.

Kurenai opened the door with a key, and they both changed their shoes at the entrance and walked into the house. They saw Shinku sitting at the table wearing a jounin vest, silently observing Shintaro.

Kurenai stepped forward and said, "Dad, I brought Shintaro."

Seeing his daughter, Shinku nodded and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Hello, uncle." Shintaro bowed.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, Shinku, who had been sitting there, had disappeared, replaced by a strange and blurry figure, constantly approaching him, emitting a dangerous aura, as if he would die at its hands in the next second.

However, this didn't scare Shintaro. He used his Six Eyes to accurately locate the chakra strands sneaking into his optic nerves and removed them from his body.

The illusion was lifted, and Shinku appeared sitting in his original position with a surprised expression on his face.

"Although this is a low-level illusion technique, it might be a complicated illusion technique difficult for you to master. Unexpectedly, you not only didn't panic but dispelled it yourself."

Shintaro humbly said, "I'm just naturally sensitive to chakra."

Shinku sighed, "Your talent is indeed genuine. Even the boy from Sakumo's family was defeated by you. Having talent in illusions is natural. After all, your father…"

Although his words were incomplete, Shintaro already knew from his father's illusion experience and Shinku's words that his father had significant achievements in illusions.

Perhaps the friendship between these two stemmed from their mutual study of illusions.

'Illusions are indeed magical. I thought there was no difference from ninjutsu, but now it seems the difference is very clear.'

Shintaro successfully dispelled the illusion technique with the help of the Six Eyes, and also used these all-seeing eyes to deconstruct the principles of the illusion technique.

The effect of this technique is similar to the clone technique, both creating false clones.

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two. One is ninjutsu, and the other is illusion.

The essence of the clone technique is to use chakra to condense a shell identical to the main body, while the principle of the illusion technique is very different, projecting the user's chakra into the recipient's optic nerves to create the shell.

The difference between the two gave Shintaro a basic understanding of the two main types of jutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu.

Combined with his previous life's taijutsu knowledge, Shintaro had glimpsed the ninjutsu and genjutsu relied upon by ordinary ninjas.

'This step has also been copied,' Shintaro thought to himself.
