Chapter 40: The Ninja of Seven Attributes
Chapter 40: The Ninja of Seven Attributes
As his right hand fully opened, only a bit of black ash remained, with no sign of the green leaf from before. The ash was soon blown away by the wind, leaving nothing behind.
Obito proudly laughed and said, "Looks like you guessed wrong, Kakashi."
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, grabbing Obito's left hand and opening it, finding it empty, as he had expected. He quickly pieced together what had happened.
"Fire Style: Chakra Nature Transformation," Kakashi said, looking at Obito with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Obito to not only have a basic grasp of nature transformation but also to set a trap for him.
While the former was somewhat bizarre, it wasn't impossible. It was the latter that truly astonished Kakashi.
"Hahaha, you didn't see that coming, did you, Kakashi?" Obito's smile grew more arrogant.
"I am a bit surprised. Looks like I've grown complacent," Kakashi said, his face regaining its calm.
Though he felt that Obito had made significant progress, seeing his arrogant expression made Kakashi not want to praise him at all.
"Damn you, Kakashi! What do you mean by that?" Obito was a little annoyed.
Losing to him meant he had been negligent, implying that Obito was inferior.
Kakashi replied indifferently, "Exactly what I said."
"You..." Obito had wanted to argue further, but then he remembered that he had already achieved his goal. It would be better to hurry back and continue his training.
He had won against Kakashi this time, but there wouldn't be a chance to be clever like that during the competition. It would all come down to raw strength.
"Never mind, I'm feeling generous today, so I won't hold it against you. Remember to sign up for the competition. You won't back out just because you lose, will you?" Obito said.
"I'll accept my losses," Kakashi answered.
Initially, he had thought the competition was pointless, but seeing Obito's growth, Kakashi felt a slight spark of anticipation.
Having achieved their purpose, Nohara Rin and Obito bid Kakashi farewell and left.
"Obito, how did you do that just now? It was amazing!" Rin said as they walked away.
Obito's chest swelled with pride at Rin's praise, and he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's just Chakra Nature Transformation, not that amazing..."
In his excitement, Obito didn't watch where he was going and bumped into an electrical pole next to Kakashi's house.
"Damn you, Kakashi!" Obito blamed the location of Kakashi's house's electrical pole.
Kakashi, who was watching them leave, thought to himself, "...'
He retracted the tiny spark of anticipation he had felt, feeling like nothing had changed at all. Obito was still as foolish as ever.
...
During the ninja arts class, Mu Yue finished her lecture and demonstration, then let the students practice on their own. She told them to come to her if they had any questions during their practice.
Mu Yue was well aware of the gap between theory and practice.
Most of the time, one's brain might understand a concept, but the body would fail to execute it properly.
"I'm used to creating clones that look like me, but it feels weird to create clones with a different appearance," Tetsu said, scratching his head.
"Why don't we ask Sensei Uchiha if he has any special techniques for that?" Izumo suggested.
"Yes, we should ask Sensei Uchiha for help," Shino agreed, nodding.
The three of them were collaborating to develop a new ninja art, combining clone and transformation techniques, with the aim of stunning the entire school during the final exam and achieving better results.
Uniting their opinions, they walked up to Mu Yue and asked their question.
Mu Yue thought for a moment and replied, "You can try starting with simple objects to get used to the feeling, and then gradually move on to more complex ones."
Tetsu looked at the chair, nodding in agreement. Its structure was indeed simple, after all, it was just a combination of a few wooden planks and legs.
Thus, the trio began their training following Mu Yue's suggestion, and the classroom's atmosphere gradually became peculiar.
Strange chairs with three, two, or even one leg appeared in the room.
"It seems that chairs aren't as easy as I imagined." Izumo scratched his head in embarrassment as he looked at the one-legged chair he had created.
"Are you trying to make a fool out of me, Izumo?" Tetsu immediately pointed at Izumo's chair and burst into loud laughter.
Tetsu's commotion attracted the attention of the entire class, and soon everyone was laughing at the peculiar chairs.
"What about your two-legged chair? Isn't that just as odd?" Izumo retorted, his face reddening.
Everyone turned to look at Tetsu's chair, which had two legs on the same side, and they couldn't help but laugh again.
"You two are hopeless. Watch and learn from me, the second-best in our year." Anko folded her arms, and they saw that her chair not only had three legs but was also walking around her.
The students in the class found this scene even more amusing, and the laughter grew louder, even attracting students from other classes.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the school day, Mu Yue also announced the end of the lesson.
Teaching Complete
Evaluation: A
Reward: Palm Mystical Technique
Memories of practicing and using the Palm Mystical Technique flowed into Mu Yue's mind.
"Today's luck isn't bad." Mu Yue was pleased to see that the reward was the Palm Mystical Technique.
The Palm Mystical Technique was no ordinary medical ninjutsu; it was an advanced technique, and only a handful of medical ninjas in Konoha possessed it.
The technique could not only heal external wounds but also cure internal illnesses, making it exceptionally powerful for healing.
With the Palm Mystical Technique, Obito's nature transformation training would be safer, as any injuries could be immediately treated.
"Now I've gathered all seven attributes." Mu Yue thought to herself.
The Palm Mystical Technique belonged to the Yang Release chakra nature, which she had not mastered yet. Following the system's convention, she received some nature transformation training memories as a bonus.
With the previous Yin Release genjutsu, she had now mastered nature transformation for all seven attributes.
After school, Mu Yue routinely trained with her disciples before returning to her residence in the Southern Forest instead of heading back to the main district.
Today was the day she reported her progress to the Root Organization.
Regarding Asuma, Mu Yue honestly reported his unusual personality, which differed from that of a typical Uchiha. She also employed some creative writing skills in other parts of her report.
For example, in the case of the practical exam, she described Hinata Hyuga's victory over her opponent as a display of her genius, crushing them with ease, while Obito and Might Guy's wins were attributed more to luck and chance.
Regarding Asuma's mission, Mu Yue expressed that she had successfully gained his recognition as a teacher and asked if they should try to recruit him into the Root Organization.
Mu Yue believed that as long as Danzo wasn't suffering from dementia, he wouldn't give her a positive response.
The purpose of such a report was to let Danzo know that she had performed well on her mission, gained Asuma's acknowledgment, and also to express her loyalty to the Root Organization.
Translator's Note:
I didn't get much sleep yesterday, and I had a funeral to attend in the morning. So, I took a nap in the afternoon, which is why the update is a bit late.
