Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 73 Chunin Exams, targeting

So, a Chunin?

I wouldn't even be a dog.

So-called honors and titles are nothing more than tools for leaders to control their subjects. He had already figured this out the moment he transformed from a beast of burden into a knight of the Great Fortune in his previous life: all honors and titles are illusory.

Only living well is real.

Chatting about life with upperclassmen and underclassmen, and cooking bamboo shoots and pork for Yun when I get home—that's the meaning of life.

So, in response to Mikoto Uchiha's question, he replied...

"Mikoto-sensei".

"I think..."

[An emergency has been detected!]

[Temporary Mission Issued: Chunin Exams (Pass the exams to become a Chunin)]

[Task Time Limit: 6 days]

[Quest Reward (Choose one): Ghost Vine Whip; Golden Rope; Marriage Chain]

Mikoto Uchiha: "Nebula, what do you think?"

Shingetsu Seiun took a deep breath: "I think Asuma and Kurenai are right."

"We must do our best in the Chunin Exams."

Mikoto Uchiha frowned slightly, looking at Shingetsu Seiun's determined expression, and felt that something was not quite right.

"Alright."

"Since you all agree, then you should all participate."

"Starting today, we'll have intensive training all day, except for the evenings."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun was immediately in a dilemma.

If he spends the whole day in special training, he won't have much time to talk to his girlfriend.

"Ms. Misaka, can't it be half a day each time?"

Mikoto Uchiha chuckled lightly: "With your current strength, you do deserve the title of Chunin. But I must warn you, the Jonin leading the teams have privately told me that long before the Chunin Exams were announced, quite a few boys were already dreaming of beating you up during the Chunin Exams."

"So, whether you participate in the special training or not is up to you."

Shenyue Xingyun ultimately decided to undergo full-day intensive training.

Nothing more than feeling a bit out of place. As for dates with my girlfriends, squeezing in a bit is fine. What used to take an hour can be done in half an hour without any problem.

……

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Boom boom boom boom!!"

The shuriken struck the bullseye with pinpoint accuracy, and upon seeing this, Obito Uchiha excitedly threw a punch.

"yeah!"

"I'm so awesome!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Just as he was feeling smug, Kakashi Hatake appeared beside him without him noticing. He first glanced expressionlessly at the shuriken that hadn't penetrated deeply into the target, then said, "You're imagining the target as Shingetsu Nebula?"

Obito Uchiha's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned around abruptly: "You! You!...You're talking nonsense!"

Kakashi Hatake said, "Judging from your reaction, I guessed correctly."

Obito Uchiha: "You're slandering me!"

"I'm not slandering you," Kakashi Hatake said. "It's just that your smile is too wicked."

Seeing Obito Uchiha's face turn red, he added, "But don't be nervous, I won't tell Rin."

"Really?" Obito Uchiha asked instinctively, then realized his reaction was inappropriate and quickly tried to salvage the situation: "No! I don't understand what you're saying!"

Kakashi Hatake snorted and then said, "Obito, your poor acting skills are only good for Rin, not for me."

"I'm not interested."

"I'm just reminding you that a shuriken throw, hitting the target is only a passing grade. It's probably not enough to deal with Shingetsu Nebula."

Obito Uchiha asked warily, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Kakashi Hatake: "If you want to pose a threat to your opponent, you should master stronger methods."

Obito Uchiha was puzzled by this. He looked his usually silent and aloof teammate up and down, then suddenly asked, "You want to help me?"

"What is your purpose?"

Kakashi Hatake initially wanted to make up a reason to fool the other party, but looking at Obito Uchiha's wise eyes, he suddenly felt that it would be a bit inhumane to fool such a teammate, so he simply told the truth.

"I'm just interested in him and want to use you to test his abilities."

Obito Uchiha: "Really?"

"Then why don't you try it yourself?"

Kakashi Hatake stared blankly into Obito's eyes, and when he noticed the latter's serious expression, he said helplessly, "Obito, I'm not like you."

"I can't participate in the Chunin Exams."

Obito Uchiha: "..."

I suddenly feel very annoyed.

Besides, being used as a tool doesn't feel good. However, compared to that, defeating Shenyue Nebula is more important, so he tentatively asked, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"It's very easy to analyze," Kakashi Hatake said. "There are generally only three methods for fighting between genin."

"First, traps and poison."

"Second, close-quarters combat."

"Third, ninjutsu and genjutsu."

Obito Uchiha frowned: "Isn't the first trap, poison, a bit inappropriate?"

"Of course." Kakashi Hatake nodded. "Firstly, your goal is to defeat Shingetsu Nebula head-on, so traps and poisons are not an option. Secondly... whether from the perspective of combat intelligence or skill mastery, traps and poisons are ruled out first."

Obito Uchiha relaxed his brows and became expressionless.

Kakashi Hatake: "As for the second point, close combat, I don't think it's a good idea either."

"Generally speaking, the Uchiha clan members are quite good at close combat, but Obito, you are exceptional."

"Whether it's fighting rhythm or on-the-spot adaptability, you lack the talent in these areas. You haven't even awakened your Sharingan..." "Next." Obito Uchiha's eye twitched as he spoke coldly.

"Let's not talk about genjutsu, let's just talk about ninjutsu."

Kakashi Hatake: "...Okay."

"Tell me about ninjutsu."

"Obito, your chakra reserves are quite good. If you use them properly, you can easily perform C-rank ninjutsu."

"Judging from her close-combat skills, Shingetsu Nebula should be quite good. As for chakra... she can use the 'Hand Healing Technique,' so she must be skilled in fine-tuning it. Your best chance of winning is with more powerful ninjutsu, preferably long-range attacks."

Obito Uchiha's eyes lit up.

"I can breathe fireballs!"

"He's also practicing the Phoenix Fire Technique!"

Kakashi Hatake clapped his hands: "Very good."

"Both are C-rank fire-style techniques. One has a wide range, and the other deals decent damage. If combined properly, they can definitely pose a threat to the opponent."

Obito Uchiha's lips curled up slightly as he listened.

Following Kakashi Hatake's evaluation, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and quickly form hand seals, showing off his skills on the spot.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Phew~"

A massive fireball, as tall as a person, suddenly appeared, the sudden increase in temperature distorting the air itself. Feeling the heatwave wash over him, Obito Uchiha looked smugly at Kakashi Hatake and said without hesitation, "How about that? Impressive, right?"

Kakashi Hatake: "..."

Suppressing the urge to unleash a Lightning Release attack to teach the other person a lesson, Kakashi Hatake clapped his hands with a forced smile.

"Very good, very good."

"Not bad~"

"Obito, you're amazing! I'm waiting for the good news that you've defeated Shingetsu Nebula."

Obito Uchiha tried hard to suppress the urge to curl up his lips... but failed.
