Chapter 70: Unexpected Rewards!
[Disciple Might Guy completed training mission, Rewards: Chakra +1000, Stone Breathing (Mastery Level)]
[Disciple Uchiha Obito completed training mission, Rewards: Chakra +700, Great Fire Annihilation (Proficiency Level)]
The system panel quickly displayed several pieces of information.
"It seems that the final completion rate has a significant impact on rewards," Mutsuki, looking at the disparity in rewards between the two, roughly understandood the reward mechanism of training missions.
Training mission rewards consist of two parts: the improvement in strength during the training mission and the completion of mission objectives.
During the mission, Obito's Taijutsu strength was similar to Might Guy's, but he did not complete the primary objective, so his rewards were considerably lower compared to Might Guy.
Mutsuki's gaze shifted to the reward of Stone Breathing, and with just one glance, he recognizes that this is not a Ninjutsu from the Naruto world.
Having gained experience from the previous acquisition of Soru, Mutsuki knew that the system would also reward things from other worlds and then localize them for the Naruto world.
Recalling the memories of Stone Breathing training that suddenly appeared in his mind as if he practiced it for the past few decades, Mutsuki realized that it had indeed been localized.
After reviewing the memories, Mutsuki felt that the Naruto version of Stone Breathing could be considered a forbidden technique.
Mastering Stone Breathing allows for the instant release of terrifying power using Total Concentration Breathing at crucial moments.
Proficient mastery of Stone Breathing enables maintaining Total Concentration Breathing for twenty-four hours, with Total Concentration Breathing·Constant effectively training body strength and enhancing overall power.
After mastering Stone Breathing, one can use a stronger breath, causing the entire body's Chakra to explode, strengthening oneself to enter the marked state, significantly boosting overall strength.
However, using the marked state consumes Chakra extremely and puts immense pressure on the body.
"It's more suitable for me than the Eight Inner Gates." Mutsuki nodded inwardly.
As long as he doesn't actively enter the marked state, Stone Breathing is absolutely beneficial and harmless for him. It can be used to better train the body in normal times, and in battles, it can unleash quite powerful forces.
After careful consideration, Mutsuki realized that using Eight Inner Gates and Stone Breathing together is the perfect combination.
Eight Inner Gates can open the gates in the body, causing a surge in Chakra. However, the Chakra becomes too violent, making it impossible to use Ninjutsu. On the other hand, Stone Breathing's marked state doesn't require precise Chakra control.
The massive amount of excess Chakra from Eight Inner Gates is just right for maintaining the Chakra needed for the marked state of Stone Breathing. Using both Eight Inner Gates and the marked state, the only concern is whether the body can withstand it.
This is where the beauty of learning breathing techniques comes in; breathing techniques can enhance body strength.
Mutsuki believes that combining Eight Inner Gates with breathing techniques is a good combination. Seven gates plus the marked state is much safer than directly opening the Gate of Death.
Mutsuki feels that this time, he really hit the jackpot. Obito's proficient level Great Fire Annihilation is good, but compared to the Naruto version of Stone Breathing, it falls short.
Mutsuki then opened his personal panel.
[Name: Mutsuki Yumi]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 11300]
[Skills: Chef, Three Fingers Seal, Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation, Soru, Earth Release: Earth Spear, Stone Breathing...]
[Evaluation: You have mastered many Ninjutsu, including high-level Ninjutsu and terrifyingly powerful forbidden techniques. You can unleash astonishing strength when needed, and your strength ranks among the elite even among numerous Jonin.]
Looking at the successful breakthrough to a five-figure Chakra count, Mutsuki felt a moment of joy.
From the initial 4300 Chakra when he first crossed over to the current 11,300, it only took him one semester.
The Academy has three semesters in a year. If he can maintain this growth rate in each semester, excluding holidays, he would gain 21,000 Chakra in a year.
"Now, my Chakra should be around that of Kakashi's during the start of the anime" Mutsuki thinks to himself.
...
Not long after the last fight finished and the exam came to an end. The senseis and students each left.
"Obito, are you okay?" Rin ran over to Obito and asked.
"What could be wrong with me, just a kick..."
Before Obito could finish his sentence, he twists the area that Guy had just kicked too quickly, causing him to inhale sharply in pain.
"Don't be stubborn, let me support you," Rin says helplessly, offering assistance.
"No need, I'm really fine. I just lost due to carelessness; it's nothing," Obito grits his teeth and insists.
He is truly unwilling to accept this defeat, losing in front of Mutsuki and Rin. In the future, Kakashi would mock him for never having taken the first place, and he would be unable to retort.
"Yumi-sensei." Seeing Mutsuki approaching, Obito's eyes seem to avoid something.
"How are you feeling? Is your body okay? Do you want me to take you to the medical room?" Mutsuki asks with a concerned expression.
Failed students need timely consolation.
"No need, I'm actually okay," Obito honestly responds. He feels a bit sore, but other than that, he declined the exam proctor's suggestion to go to the medical room earlier.
"Let's go take a look anyway, just in case there's an injury," Mutsuki says in a gentle tone.
"Yumi-sensei is right; you should go to the medical room," Rin agrees.
"In that case, Rin, you go back first. Yumi-sensei and I will go to the medical room," Obito finds it hard to refuse both of their suggestions simultaneously.
"I'll go with you" Rin is a bit worried about Obito.
"No need, Yumi-sensei is here," Obito doesn't want to trouble Rin too much.
"I'll accompany Obito," Guy speaks up.
He believes that going all out in a fight doesn't change the fact that Obito is a comrade.
"You see, there are already two people accompanying me. Rin, you go back first," Obito says.
Rin thought for a moment and felt that Mutsuki was a reliable sensei. Coupled with Obito's strong persuasion, she decided to go home alone.
In the medical room, Mutsuki found a reason to ask Guy to leave, then began talking to Obito.
"Don't let the outcome of a single exam affect you. There are two exams in a semester, six in a year. If it doesn't work out this time, strive harder in the next exam," Mutsuki said with emphasis and sincerity.
"Don't entertain thoughts of feeling sorry for not getting the first place. Otherwise, you and Guy would both have to feel sorry for me, and that would be twice every semester," Mutsuki said in a joking tone.
Obito laughed and then thought about it. He realized that Mutsuki's words made sense. Exams aren't a one-time affair; there's a chance in the next semester. He decided to continue putting in effort.
"As long as you earnestly train and improve your strength, there's no need for apologies," Mutsuki said, patting Obito's head.
"Yumi-sensei..." Watching Mutsuki's sincere and serious expression, Obito felt deeply moved. He decided that in the next semester, he would definitely prove himself by getting the first place, showing that he's not inferior to Might Guy and worthy of Mutsuki's guidance.
[Disciple Uchiha Obito Sets Training Mission]
[Training Mission: Achieve the first place in the Academy practical exam for the year]
Seeing the system prompt pop up, Mutsuki revealed a satisfied smile.
After consoling the defeated disciple, Mutsuki doesn't forget to reward the victorious one. He leaves the medical room with Guy.
