The increase in strength certainly brings joy.
But this did not last long; Yeruashi calmed down very quickly, for he is well aware that although Tokubetsu Joonin has the word "Joonin" in its wording, there is a huge difference between the two.
Because Tokubetsu Joonin's abilities are not balanced enough in every aspect to become a true Joonin, his chances of surviving a chaotic war are much lower than those of a well-rounded and ready-for-anything Joonin.
"I still lack stamina..."
Eruashi pondered.
He has no Uzumaki bloodline or Biju sealed in his belly, in fact his chakra volume at the moment only reaches the level of an elite Genin, a long way to the level of a Joonin.
Physical stamina is needless to say, his body is only ten years old.
And it should not be forgotten that the rate of stamina expenditure also increases in the state of acceleration.
"If I also learn Hachimon Tonko, I will not be able to fight a long battle at all."
Thinking about this, Yeruashi felt disappointed.
It seems that until he obtains a sage body, physical stamina and chakra volume will always be his weak point, and at this point, obtaining one cannot even be considered. (n.p. referring to Hashirama's body)
However, when you think about it, as long as the power erupted in a short period of time is great enough, the lack of stamina is not as important as Minato being able to destroy dozens of Joonins in a flash, even if his chakra volume is limited, it has not stopped the name Yellow Flash from shocking the entire shinobi world.
"Looks like in the near future my fighting style will be killing my opponent instantly..."
Eruashi muttered thoughtfully.
Whether or not stamina is his weakness, in any case, one should start practicing Hachimon Tonko, combining gate opening with time acceleration, he will indeed possess the ability to finish a battle in an instant.
When speed is at a prohibitive level, what does stamina matter at all?
The battle will be over quickly.
"Now in the normal state I should be at the level of an elite Chuunin, and in the triple acceleration state at the level of a Tokubetsu Joonin, there are three directions for the next step forward..."
Yeruashi sank into thoughtfulness.
The first direction was simply step-by-step improvement, increased chakra training and the use of time acceleration, to ensure accelerated body growth, when the actual physical body reaches about thirteen years of age, he will have chakra volume and physical stamina close to the level of the Joonin.
After learning some good ninjutsu, he will have the strength of a normal Joonin in his normal state.
The second direction was to continue practicing Hatake's Kenjutsu.
Having mastered the 2nd stage of Kenjutsu Hatake, even with the lack of physical stamina and chakra volume, he would be able to reach the level of a Joonin.
And the third direction, of course, is Hachimon Tonko.
"...It is of course best to advance in all directions in parallel."
Eruashi made a decision.
For a normal shinobi, it would be the right choice to concentrate on one direction, because they simply wouldn't have enough time to train three directions at once, such greed would only result in the shinobi making no significant progress in any one direction, and the overall improvement in strength would naturally be paltry.
But Eruashi is different.
His time acceleration ability allows him to devote much more time to training.
If the ability continues to improve in the future, he will be able to go into quadruple and even quintuple acceleration.... so he is fully qualified to take on all three directions at once!
"It's worth setting an intermediate goal...I should reach Joonin's level within six months."
Yeruashi clenched his fist tightly and sighed.
Joonin!
His goal was to reach Joonin's level in his normal state.
With that kind of power and entering a state of three or even four times time acceleration, he would be able, like Minato, to slice up Joonins in packs...like vegetables!
Only by reaching this level would he be able to ensure his survival during the Third World Shinobi War, greatly reducing the risk of being killed by kaki
Some unforeseen circumstances.
After completing his training, Yeruashi went home.
"Things seem to be heating up..."
Compared to the previous day, there are noticeably more shinobi patrolling the streets of Konoha, and that's just on the visible side.
The Anbu are most likely keeping a close watch on every corner of Konoha, looking for scouts of enemy villages.
At this point Eruashi felt that he was being watched, the feeling soon disappeared, it seemed that he too was being checked by one of the Anbu.
This feeling was naturally very unpleasant, but during the tense pre-war period it is inevitable, every village of course sends out scouts, in an attempt to ferret out as much information about the other side as possible.
Because of the acceleration of time, Yeruashi eats far more often than normal people and his fridge supplies are used up rather quickly, having to be replenished every day or two, so on his way home, he decided to stop by the street where a variety of foods are sold, planning to replenish his supplies.
But after taking a few steps.
A slightly familiar voice came to his ears from the nearest shop.
Eruashi turned his head and saw a familiar figure holding a bag and arguing with the owner of the beef shop.
"What?! Beef has gone up in price to 450 Ryo! It's too expensive!"
Maito Dai complained about the price increase.
The shopkeeper helplessly threw up his hands, "It's not that I'm trying to make more money, it's just that the price of purchasing is going up..."
Due to the tense situation between the shinobi villages, food prices of course began to rise, though Konoha itself is fairly stable, but the tense situation has affected the channels they use to buy a variety of food and materials, due to the danger of enemy villages attacking, caravans need a lot more shinobi to escort them, which naturally leads to a significant increase in prices.
"It's too expensive..."
Maito Dai grabs his hair, feeling a headache.
He's a regular Genin and can't find people to team up with, so there are very few assignments he can get. The rise in prices has of course hit Maito Dai very hard, his son Gai is now in a stage of active growth and development, for him at least one serving of meat a day is mandatory.
After hesitating a bit, Maito Dai still bought a piece of beef, but reduced its weight, reflecting that he would have no problem eating less.
"This really is a tough situation for a shinobi...."
Yeruashi muttered, watching Maito Dai buy meat.
He's doing just fine in that regard, even though Sakumo died, but he left a pretty solid inheritance, enough to provide his two sons with several years of a life without poverty, on top of that Kakashi had already advanced to Chuunin and become self-sufficient.
Maito Dai is capable of opening eight gates, which is enough to completely crush the Seven Swordsmen of Mist, then what happens if he opens seven gates? Shouldn't reaching Joonin level should be a cakewalk?
But Maito Dai almost never does combat missions, searching for lost cats and the like, he just doesn't have the ability to shine...
So the people of Konoha never knew the real Maito Dai.
After thinking for a while, Eruashi bought some groceries and returned home, eating quickly, he immediately left the house and went in search of Maito Daya.
