Seeing Shisui awaken his One Tomoe Sharingan, Obito was quite surprised.
Although it was normal for an Uchiha to awaken a One Tomoe Sharingan, at such a young age...
Obito praised, "Shisui, you truly are a genius. Considering the Uchiha clan's bloodline bonus, your talent even surpasses Kakashi's."
Rin, who was standing to the side, was momentarily stunned and immediately felt a little dissatisfied.
Kakashi was already the most talented ninja she had ever seen, and since he was their teammate, how could Obito boost an outsider's morale while belittling their own people?
'But just now, what did Obito call this little kid? It seemed like... Shisui?'
Rin was startled, 'Could it be that this Shisui is the very same Uchiha Shisui that Obito had mentioned, the fourth wielder of the Mangekyō Sharingan in the Uchiha clan in the future?'
'The one who, during the Third Great Ninja War, was somewhat on par with Minato-sensei, the famed "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ?', Realizing this, Rin couldn't believe it.
Even though she had heard Obito mention Shisui's name, she had never associated such a powerful figure with this little kid who looked even younger than Obito.
This little kid would one day earn a legendary title and reach the level of elite jōnin, as Minato-sensei had described?
Thinking of this, Rin suddenly felt a deep sense of inferiority.
Recalling Kakashi's strength in the future, she had to admit with some reluctance that although becoming a jōnin at thirteen was impressive, it still wasn't enough to earn a legendary title like "Shisui of the Body Flicker."
Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of frustration, 'Is Kakashi's genius actually being overshadowed?'
Seeing Rin's slightly dejected expression, Obito leaned in and softly comforted her, "Rin, this is something we can't change. This world values bloodlines too much. The moment a strong bloodline awakens, it can instantly surpass years of effort. It's not that Kakashi isn't talented, it's just that the Uchiha's Sharingan is ridiculously unfair."
Rin sighed. Even though she was unwilling to accept it, she could only acknowledge the insurmountable difference that bloodline could create.
Meanwhile, Shisui assumed they were simply shocked by his newly awakened Sharingan, and he felt quite proud, "Obito-senpai, Kakashi-senpai's talent is indeed amazing, but we Uchiha are the strongest. For example, if I wanted to, I could graduate early from the academy. Do you believe me?"
Obito nodded, "Of course, I believe you."
"But why haven't you graduated? Wouldn't it be better to become a ninja sooner?"
Shisui shook his head, "Obito-senpai, I think the Body Flicker Technique is a fantastic jutsu with great potential for improvement. Especially after awakening the Sharingan, I suddenly had an idea about combining Clone Jutsu with the Body Flicker Technique..."
"But this idea is not easy to implement, so I need to stay in the academy longer to learn more theory."
Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but take Shisui seriously.
'Is Shisui already developing his signature technique?'
That move had tremendous potential in Obito's eyes.
It allowed one to create multiple clones. At first glance, they seemed like mere illusions used for deception, like normal Clone Jutsu, but if an enemy underestimated them, they would suffer greatly.
Because these illusions could turn into real bodies at any moment and launch an attack.
This was similar to Obito's intangibility ability, an almost invincible technique if the enemy couldn't find a counter.
Moreover, since there were so many clones attacking from all directions, the sheer pressure on the enemy was arguably even greater than his own intangibility.
The clones were untouchable because they were illusions, but since any of them could become real at any moment, the enemy had no choice but to defend against them all.
The result? The enemy would be left in a state of constant anxiety and despair...
This was why "Shisui of the Body Flicker," like "The Yellow Flash," was a name that struck fear into enemies, encountering them meant abandoning the mission and escaping.
Obito was excited. The Phantom Body Flicker technique suited him perfectly. If he mastered it and combined it with his intangibility, his enemies would never be able to distinguish between clones and his real body.
Oh? You think I'm just a clone? Nope, I was just using intangibility.
Oh? You think I used intangibility? Sorry, this is actually a real clone.
Just imagining this kind of battle scenario thrilled him.
Besides, Obito was certain that he had all the necessary conditions to learn this technique, a solid foundation in the Three Basic Jutsu and the powerful illusionary abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
So, this jutsu, he was definitely going to learn it.
"Shisui, did you come looking for me because you wanted help developing this technique? You should've said so earlier. I also have deep knowledge of the Three Basic Jutsu. I can help you refine your ideas."
Shisui admitted, "That's right, that's part of the reason I sought you out. After all, I've heard that you became the academy's top student using the Three Basic Jutsu. But..."
"Obito-senpai, I also want to spar with you. After all, if you're not stronger than me, what right do you have to guide me?"
Obito nodded, "You're right. Strength speaks for itself. Let's go, let's have a match at the Uchiha training grounds!"
"Honestly, I'm really interested in the technique you're developing. If you let me participate, I wouldn't mind exchanging knowledge with you."
Shisui was momentarily stunned.
From Obito, he could sense an overwhelming confidence. It wasn't the arrogant, nose-in-the-air kind of Uchiha pride, but something deeper, something ingrained in his bones, as if everything was within his control...
For the first time, Shisui became cautious, sensing something unusual.
Because he smelled the presence of a fellow genius.
This was a kind of aura that only people like him could recognize, an aura impossible to fake without real strength.
He slightly lowered his initial arrogance, "Then, Senpai, let's go."
Without further words, the two of them headed for the training grounds.
Rin followed behind them, feeling a little excited.
Obito never wasted his time on useless things. The only other time she had seen him this serious was when he was learning the Flying Thunder God.
'It seems that the technique Shisui is developing is just as important to Obito as the Flying Thunder God.'
'Could this be the origin of Shisui of the Body Flicker's legendary name? Just like the Yellow Flash and the Flying Thunder God...'
.
.
.
Soon, the three arrived at the training grounds.
Obito and Shisui formed the Seal of Confrontation, while Rin acted as the temporary referee.
Before the battle started, Rin looked at them gently and said, "Do your best, both of you. Show your full strength. I'm a medical ninja, so even if you get injured, I'll heal you."
She said this because, no matter how strong Shisui might become in the future, right now he was still just a little kid.
Rin didn't believe that Obito, who had once fought Minato-sensei, would lose.
So, in reality, her words of encouragement were more for Shisui.
'Little Shisui, give it your all and take down that annoying Obito!'
But from Shisui's perspective, 'Rin-senpai is simply too kind.'
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Obito, despite being an Uchiha, was so devoted to a single woman.
He smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Rin-senpai. I'll go easy."
Rin smiled and announced, "Then, the match begins!"
