Who is this!?
Who did he say he was?
Uchiha Shisui!?
Uchiha Akira was completely stunned by the words he had just heard.
Who is Uchiha Shisui?
In the original story, he's a legendary figure who only existed in flashbacks!
Currently, he is one of the two great prodigies of the Uchiha clan!
Moreover, he was Uchiha Itachi's mentor and closest friend!
Uchiha Itachi, known for his unmatched strength, intelligence, and character, is revered as a god by many anime fans.
Yet, Itachi himself acknowledged that Uchiha Shisui was even more outstanding than he was!
Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, the ultimate Genjutsu cast by his Mangekyō Sharingan, is arguably the most terrifying eye technique in the entire Naruto universe!
And who else can summon Susanoo with just a single eye?
Uchiha Akira knew that at the age of six, he had already defeated a Genin on his first day of school and graduated successfully, which had earned him the title of a prodigy throughout Konoha.
This had significantly boosted the reputation of the Uchiha clan.
But never did he imagine that the clan would hold him in such high regard!
They actually assigned Uchiha Shisui to be his teacher!?
However, from the perspective of the Uchiha leadership, it made sense.
Given the growth he had shown recently...
In just a month, he had awakened the Sharingan, mastered the Transformation Jutsu, Clone Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, and Great Fireball Jutsu, and his chakra reserves were quite impressive!
He had achieved what would take others years in just one month—a true prodigy.
If he were in the position of the Uchiha leadership, he would have made the same choice!
Of course, he knew his own situation best.
On the surface, it looked like he had accomplished all this in just one month, but in reality...
He had simulated his life six times, equivalent to nearly six years of effort. His talent was still just average!
"Why? Are you not satisfied with having me as your teacher?"
Seeing that Akira had been silent for a while after revealing his identity, Shisui asked with a warm smile, his tone gentle and reassuring.
"No, it's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just... I'm pleasantly surprised!" Akira quickly regained his composure and shook his head in response.
And this wasn't mere flattery—he truly was surprised!
The legendary Uchiha Shisui as his teacher?
What could be more surprising than that?
Although, according to the original storyline, Shisui only had less than a year left to live...
However, Akira couldn't help but wonder: if he took some proactive steps, could he possibly prevent the tragic events that were about to unfold?
For the first time, Akira found himself considering this possibility.
Previously, he hadn't even thought about trying to change the events of the Uchiha massacre, as he was just a small fry with no real influence.
But now, with his reputation as a genius and the fact that he had formed a teacher-student bond with a powerhouse like Shisui, perhaps he had a chance to make a difference?
Of course, there was still time, and he didn't need to rush. He could test his ideas in the life simulation system first.
"You've probably heard of my reputation, but that's just hearsay, not the real me!"
"Let me introduce myself properly!"
"My name is Uchiha Shisui, 16 years old, Elite Jōnin. I specialize in Fire Release, kenjutsu, genjutsu, the Body Flicker Technique, and of course, the Sharingan!"
"My dream? Peace, I suppose!"
"My hobby? Raising crows!"
There was no trace of arrogance despite his genius, which set him apart from the other Uchiha clan members.
Uchiha Shisui's self-introduction and demeanor made him seem approachable, like a breath of fresh air!
"Uchiha Akira, six years old, Genin. I'm not particularly good at anything yet. My dream? I guess it's to live a few more years!"
Following Shisui's example, Akira introduced himself.
"Live a few more years? Is that really a dream? And this is coming from a six-year-old?" Shisui couldn't help but give Akira a strange look after hearing his self-introduction.
However, he didn't dwell on it and continued to observe Akira.
Alright, there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned yet, according to Shisui's template.
With a sigh of resignation, Akira added, "As for my hobby? I suppose it's making money!"
"Money? You're that interested in money?" Shisui was a bit surprised by this hobby.
"Yes!" Akira nodded without hesitation. There was nothing wrong with liking money, especially when spending it made him stronger. No shame in that!
"Well then, I just happened to take on a mission to hunt down a criminal. It's a C-rank mission with a reward of 15,000 ryō. Want to give it a try?" Shisui asked, following Akira's lead.
"Sure! How much of the 15,000 ryō will I get?" Akira's eyes lit up at the offer!
