Chapter 356: Tsunade: That'll Cost Extra
Chapter 356: Tsunade: That'll Cost Extra
"Still no success. Perhaps I truly lack talent in space-time ninjutsu." On the eleventh day of obtaining the Flying Thunder God, Mu Yue sighed softly as he looked at his interface, seeing no change in the proficiency level.
He had been diligently training, sealing techniques, breath control, and even shadow clones, but despite his efforts over the past ten days, the proficiency remained stubbornly at zero.
"I'll give it another month. If it still doesn't work, I'll have to give up," Mu Yue decided, intending to continue his cultivation as planned.
For the next month, he would continue practicing the Flying Thunder God, but not with the same intensity as the initial ten days. Instead, he would focus equally on sealing techniques and the Flying Thunder God, followed by medical knowledge and breath control. Should the Flying Thunder God remain stagnant even after this month, Mu Yue would temporarily set it aside.
Although Mu Yue was only nineteen and had his entire life ahead of him, his disciple faced imminent danger. He had to grow stronger as quickly as possible and couldn't afford to waste time banging his head against a wall with the Flying Thunder God if it showed no signs of progress.
In the mornings, Mu Yue taught his disciples as usual, and in the afternoons, he attended classes at the Ninja Academy.
He already knew a fair number of ninjutsu, but one could never have too many techniques, and repeating them would increase his proficiency.
[Complete a major lesson]
[Evaluation: A]
[Rewards: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Stone Technique, Water Release: Heavenly Tears]
Mu Yue no longer deliberately sought out B-rank evaluations for chakra rewards. Instead, he found that taking his disciples on missions was a faster way to earn chakra.
After bidding farewell to his students, Mu Yue headed to his office to put away some things.
As a vice-principal, he now had his own private office, no longer sharing a space with other teachers.
Mu Yue didn't particularly care about such matters; any place to work was fine as long as it didn't hinder his reward grinding. However, he understood that having a vice-principal around might make the other teachers feel uncomfortable, so he moved out.
"Vice-Principal Mu..." As they passed by, Ueda Aya and others instinctively wanted to greet Mu Yue but stopped midway, remembering that he was now the vice-principal. They quickly adjusted their greeting.
"Teachers Ueda and Ikegaya, you just finished your classes, right? The Third Hokage is the principal. I'm just the vice-principal, so you can call me as you always have," Mu Yue replied with a smile and a nod.
Mu Yue preferred being called a teacher over a principal. Every time he heard the title of principal, he thought of a certain principal who had taken advantage of him.
"Yes, Teacher Mu. I just finished teaching ninjutsu," Ueda Aya said, her heart relaxing as she saw the gentle smile on Mu Yue's face.
Because they were acquaintances, Mu Yue chatted with them briefly before returning to his office.
"He gets promoted faster than anyone else, but it's just so hard to feel jealous of him," Ikegaya sighi as he watched Mu Yue's departing figure.
In less than two years, a teacher had risen to the unprecedented position of vice-principal at the Ninja Academy. Anyone else would have Ikegaya seeing red, but not with Mu Yue.
He had no reason to be jealous. Mu Yue's achievements deserved this position. He had nurtured an unprecedentedly powerful class, introduced holiday special training and graduation internships, and achieved excellent results in both.
It wasn't just his achievements, but also his character that made jealousy difficult. Despite his rapid rise and superior strength, Mu Yue treated his colleagues with the same attitude as before, without a hint of arrogance or looking down on them.
"After all, he's Teacher Mu," Ueda Aya sighed softly.
It would be strange if she, as a colleague, didn't have some thoughts about Mu Yue, who was not only handsome but also gentle. However, Mu Yue's perfection only made her feel inferior and hesitant to approach him.
After he became the vice-principal, she had given up completely. The gap between them was too wide, and she doubted they would even have anything in common to talk about.
After putting away his things, Mu Yue went shopping for ingredients and headed to Tsunade's place.
With Tsunade in her slacking-off state, willing to help him with his disciple, it was only right for Mu Yue to cook for her from time to time.
Since Mu Yue's cooking was excellent, Nobara Rin would also stay for dinner whenever he came over.
"Today's meal is a bit plain. There's only one meat dish, chili pepper pork," Tsunade, who loved meat and alcohol, commented.
"It's good to change things up sometimes. If you really want to eat meat, you can always buy some ready-made dishes outside," Mu Yue said with a smile, giving his reason.
The truth was that Mu Yue felt like eating a vegetarian meal today, but of course, he wouldn't say that directly.
"Never mind, then. But don't you dare compete with me for the meat. Students stealing their teacher's food is a big taboo," Tsunade said, using her chakra to enhance her arm and quickly grabbing the meat slices with her chopsticks.
However, Tsunade couldn't handle spicy food very well. After mixing the meat slices with rice and eating quite a few of them, she had to stick out her tongue to dissipate the heat.
"Water, Lady Tsunade," Shizune skillfully brought a cup of cold water to Tsunade.
Gulping down the water, Tsunade gave Shizune a thumbs-up and continued eating.
"Mu Yue, can't you put a little more meat in this stir-fried pepper beef? I can pay for the meat," Tsunade said, frowning after eating for a while and realizing there was only pepper left on her plate.
"There's already a lot in there. If you add more, it won't taste the same," Shizune replied, as she had heard Mu Yue explain this many times before.
Mu Yue nodded, showing an appreciative expression.
"Shizune, you've learned to be mischievous from Mu Yue. How dare you tease me like this," Tsunade said, not following the rules of good sportsmanship as she reached out and tugged on Shizune's cheeks.
"Umm... Rin, help me," Shizune pleaded with a desperate look at Nobara Rin.
Nobara Rin responded with a helpless look, indicating she couldn't help, and continued eating.
After dinner, Nobara Rin returned home, and Mu Yue shared his recent insights with Tsunade.
"Actually, I have a ninjutsu that's similar to what you're thinking of, but you can't learn it, and it's not very useful," Tsunade said, deciding to tell Mu Yue about the existence of the Yin Seal as she saw that he had learned quite a bit already.
The Yin Seal was a ninjutsu passed down from her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, which allowed one to store a large amount of chakra within their body.
However, as Jiraiya had said, performing sealing techniques within the body was intricate work and difficult to master. A sudden surge of large amounts of chakra could also easily cause chaos within the body's chakra circulation.
Of course, this didn't mean that the Yin Seal was inferior. In fact, Tsunade believed it to be an underdeveloped ninjutsu with potential. She had some ideas for further development but currently lacked the motivation to pursue them.
"If you can solve these difficulties, you should be able to obtain the ninjutsu you desire," Tsunade said, explaining all the drawbacks of the Yin Seal to Mu Yue.
After finishing her explanation, she handed Mu Yue the scroll that recorded the Yin Seal.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade," Mu Yue accepted the scroll without hesitation and expressed his gratitude.
Although he couldn't practice the Yin Seal himself, he believed that understanding similar techniques would save him a lot of time. After all, he had a natural talent for sealing techniques, and in terms of learning speed alone, he was faster than even Kushina.
"I'll definitely pick a good chicken to make poached chicken tomorrow," Mu Yue promised a delicious meal for the next day.
"One chicken? But the Yin Seal is an S-rank ninjutsu, an S-rank ninjutsu!" Tsunade emphasized the rank of the ninjutsu, crossing her arms.
Whether it was useful or not was one thing, but the Yin Seal was indeed an S-rank ninjutsu.
Mu Yue understood, and to compensate, he promised to prepare a full meat feast for Tsunade the next day, which finally earned him a satisfied smile from her.
"If the seal is released and the chakra immediately executes a ninjutsu, wouldn't that solve the problem of chakra chaos?" Mu Yue then proposed an idea.
"For example, automatically using medical ninjutsu, so that one can fight and heal their body at the same time."
Tsunade looked at Mu Yue in surprise. This idea coincidentally aligned with her previous thoughts, and she had never shared these thoughts with anyone else.
"You could even maintain a constant output of chakra in your daily life, keeping your body in a state of ninjutsu activation and gaining some of the effects of medical ninjutsu," Mu Yue continued, explaining the basics of the Mystical Palm Technique.
Tsunade was even more astonished. Mu Yue's idea was more refined than her own.
"Could he also be a genius in this field?" Tsunade wondered to herself.
"Your idea is very good. If it can be realized, the Yin Seal will be extremely useful," Tsunade nodded in approval.
Mu Yue maintained his smile, as he knew this idea was excellent. After all, it was the future technique that Tsunade herself would develop—the Mystical Palm Technique.
He hoped that Tsunade would develop the Mystical Palm Technique ahead of time. That way, not only could he gain experience from it, but it would also be convenient for him to discuss the technique he was developing with Tsunade, as the two techniques were very similar in nature.
...
"It should be about ready. Let's give it a try," Chen Sensei patted Might Guy on the shoulder and suggested.
"Mm-hmm," Might Guy nodded heavily, adjusting his breathing to optimize his body's performance.
"Looks like it's about to happen again," Genma Shiranui and Raido noticed and instinctively moved a little further away, ready to spectate.
After the Chunin Exams, Might Guy had first undergone breath control training with Mu Yue and was now back to practicing the Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu with Chen Sensei. However, he hadn't been very successful so far.
"Eight Inner Gates, Open Gate, Open! Close Gate, Open! Life Gate, Open!" Might Guy roared as he glared ahead, forcefully opening three of the gates.
Three gates were currently Might Guy's limit, and attempting to open the fourth would result in severe injury to his body.
With the three gates opened, Might Guy's aura surged, and the surrounding leaves were blown back by the force of his momentum.
Might Guy channeled and gathered a large amount of chakra to enhance his body, and as his aura peaked, he sprang into action.
"Wood Leaf Dragon God!"
Might Guy spun rapidly, and as he did so, his speed increased, causing a massive outburst of chakra that gradually formed into a long, emerald dragon.
The dragon's appearance created a powerful suction force, drawing in and tearing apart everything nearby.
Ebisu and Genma Shiranui retreated further as they witnessed the massive trees being shredded.
"Is this a success? It feels so powerful!" Genma commented, squinting.
"It should be. Before, he would just wildly charge and then dissipate, and the power was lesser than this," Ebisu analyzed, using his hand to block the wind and dust.
They had to keep their distance because Might Guy's previous failed attempts had nearly affected them. Thankfully, Chen Sensei had been quick to act, or they would have experienced the treatment that Kakashi had endured during the finals.
"It's starting to take shape," Chen Sensei remarked, a smile tugging at his lips as he nodded in approval.
Might Guy was one of his most outstanding disciples—talented and diligent. With this body technique, he need not worry about a lack of successors.
"Wood Leaf Dragon God!"
As Chen Sensei witnessed Might Guy's success, he, too, released his chakra and executed the Wood Leaf Dragon God technique, summoning an even larger and more robust dragon.
The massive dragon charged towards Might Guy, and without hesitation, he collided with it.
Boom!!
Chen Sensei, known as the strongest body technique ninja in the Leaf, easily shattered the smaller dragon, sending Might Guy flying with the force of the impact.
"As expected of Chen Sensei, what incredible strength!" Might Guy leaped to his feet, giving his teacher a thumbs-up.
"This kick of mine contains thirty years of hard work. But with your talent, if you train for another ten years, you should be able to match me," Chen Sensei said, dispelling the Wood Leaf Dragon God and smiling.
"If only that kid had half your drive," Chen Sensei added, shaking his head as he thought of his other disciple.
Might Guy scratched his head, unsure whom his teacher was referring to.
However, his thoughts quickly returned to his desire to battle Kakashi again. Though he still couldn't open the fourth gate normally, his current strength was far superior to what it had been during the Chunin Exams. Forcibly opening the fourth gate then had been a reckless move, and he might not be any weaker now.
