Konoha, Death Forest Tower.
Isagi understood immediately that these two massive sources of chakra were none other than the tailed beasts, and thinking of the tailed beasts a thought couldn't help but come in his head.
"Would physical contact with the jinchuriki allow me to copy the abilities of tailed beasts?" pondered Isagi, as if he could copy the chakra quantity of even a single tailed beast, his reserves would gain a massive boost and few would be able to rival him in terms of chakra amount.
After trying his new ability for a while, Isagi turned his attention towards his property panel.
Name: Arisawa Isagi
Age: 14
Abilities: Mind Eye of Kagura (Orange), Chakra (Light-Orange), Taijutsu (Blue), Body Flicker Technique (Blue), Kenjutsu (Green), Wind Release: Gale Palm (Green), Earth Style! Mud Wall (Green)
Replicants: 4 (Harumi Mei, Kanzaki Ryota, Rock Lee, Karin Uzumaki)
Overall Rating: Blue
"What…it's still blue?" Seeing his overall rating staying the same, Isagi couldn't help but show a confused look, as he now had orange grade abilities in his ability column so why did it stay the same?
"Or does it just count my overall strength? From that perspective it is believable then." While his chakra had increased and he had gained a powerful sensory ability, it didn't really play much part in his fighting strength as a shinobi.
While more chakra did mean he could use ninjutsu for long intervals, but if he didn't have the corresponding skill set, large volume of chakra was useless.
Naruto was a prime example of this, even now he had at least orange grade or light red grade chakra and that was his own chakra, not Nine Tails, but despite having that kind of chakra he was so weak.
In his ability column, whether it was his taijutsu, body flicker, or even ninjutsu none exceeded an average jonin and he only had one offensive and one defensive ninjutsu.
"Guess this'll be what I'll be covering next." Isagi decided on what to look for next, his chakra amount for the time being more than enough and it was time to master a few ninjutsu, enhance his taijutsu and speed.
Isagi didn't sneak out of the tower anymore and patiently waited for the second exam to end, staying in his room, sometimes going to the training hall to exercise, and just like this time came to the end of the second exam.
Death Forest Tower.
It was the last day of the second exam and the teams that had passed had arrived already, of the twenty-seven teams that participated only eight making it this far.
The day began with everyone in the tower given a notice to gather in the battle hall, Naruto with a bruised face and dusty clothes walking along with the equally battered Sakura and Sasuke.
Naruto who had an excited look on his face suddenly showed a surprised look as spotting a few people he hadn't expected to pass.
"Hey!" he yelled, rushing towards them as Sakura beside him shaking her head in wonder, how could he still have this much energy after this gruesome survival test.
"There you go, the last person I needed to see now." Shikamaru, who had an annoyed look on his face and was already regretting having participated in this exam, heard the voice from behind and seeing who it was, showed an even more annoyed face.
"Well Well Well, who would've expected you to make it this far?" Kiba, who was with Hinata and Shino, was also taken aback by the voice, seeing it was Naruto couldn't help but speak out in surprise.
Shino stayed quiet and not saying a word, though Hinata's fair face turning red after spotting Naruto.
"That's the same question I had for you!" Naruto who heard Kiba retorted back with anger, nearly pouncing at Kiba for underestimating him. Kiba not wanting to be undone parted his lips to speak but stopping as spotting a group approaching, quite surprised at their state.
Neji walked in front like everyone present owed him money, behind him Lee bruised and, on his shoulders, Tenten, who still hadn't recovered from that fight.
"Lee…" muttered Sakura with a worried look on her face, earlier him having protected her from the sound trio and having taken a brutal beating for her.
Now seeing him looking all bruised and carrying an injured, she couldn't help but feel guilty as his current state was because of her weakness.
Lee, unaware of Sakura's inner turmoil, after spotting her immediately showed a delighted look and wanted to speak out but words stuck in his mouth suddenly.
Neji, who clearly had an annoyed face, immediately showed a face full of anger, Tenten on Lee's shoulders also equally enraged.
Isagi dressed in a clean all black attire with Mei and Ryota next to him walked out from one of the corners, appearing in the vision of all famous Konoha rookies and other candidate.
