Chapter 485: Training Results
Chapter 485: Training Results
As Mighty Guy unleashed his powerful might, a colossal vortex took form, gradually shaping into a massive green dragon.
Whoosh!
The fierce gale howled, as if the very air itself was being torn apart by this formidable force. The storm dragon's incredible cutting power instantly shredded and severed the trees surrounding Guy, sending wood chips and sand flying through the air.
"Trying to use my own technique against me? You're not ready yet."
"Wood Style: Nagi Dragon!"
Seeing this, Chen immediately gathered a large amount of chakra and countered with his own Wood Style: Nagi Dragon.
His not-so-tall body erupted with terrifying power, and the wind blades generated by its high-speed rotation destroyed everything around him.
Accompanied by the crashing trees and howling hurricane, an even larger cyan-green dragon emerged.
Witnessing these two rampaging dragons in the forest, Ebisu and Shiranui Genma instinctively took a few steps back.
Even though they had seen Guy gradually grow stronger over time, the sheer extravagance of this battle scene still made it hard for them to imagine that one of the combatants was their contemporary.
As time passed, the gap between them had not narrowed but only widened. Back in the Ninja Academy, Guy was already unbeatable, and now even the aftermath of his battles could injure them.
Boom!
The two cyan-green dragons collided, their formidable and sharp bodies engaging in an intensely violent clash. The ground couldn't withstand this terrifying power, and explosions rang out as cracks and cuts appeared on the earth.
Guy exerted himself to the limit, trying to overpower Chen with sheer brute force.
But Chen, known as the strongest taijutsu user in Konoha, was not to be underestimated. Even with Guy's all-out effort, he couldn't break through with sheer force alone.
Moreover, Chen was the originator of the Wood Style: Nagi Dragon, and his understanding of the technique far surpassed Guy's.
Despite the massive size of the cyan dragon, Chen manipulated it with unparalleled agility, giving Guy a run for his money.
Bang! !
Chen seized the perfect moment to strike at the core of Guy's Wood Style: Nagi Dragon. Under the immense force, Guy couldn't maintain his technique and was sent flying backward.
Even with Guy's Rock Breath chakra mode activated and his chakra-enhanced defense, Chen's fierce assault still left numerous wounds.
"Since the Wood Style: Nagi Dragon isn't working, I guess I'll have to use the taijutsu Master Mu Yue taught me." Guy decided to use Golden Horizon.
If possible, he would have preferred to defeat Chen using the taijutsu Chen had taught him, as a testament to the two years of guidance he had received.
However, Guy wasn't obsessed with using only Chen's teachings in their battle. He preferred to give his all in combat.
"Golden Horizon!"
Guy pushed his breathing to the extreme, enhancing his strength as much as possible. He then channeled all his power into his index and middle fingers, transforming them into a green beam of light that charged forward.
"This move... It's indeed beyond the Wood Style: Nagi Dragon," Chen exclaimed, immediately on guard as he noticed Guy's actions.
As Guy's mentor, he was well aware of the taijutsu his student had mastered.
Golden Horizon was Guy's strongest taijutsu and, in Chen's opinion, the strongest taijutsu in Konoha.
With his understanding of Konoha's taijutsu, Chen believed that there was no technique in the village that could surpass Golden Horizon in strength.
Golden Horizon was incredibly powerful, and with Guy's youthful vigor fueling it, Chen's first thought wasn't about how to block it but rather how to dodge it.
Decades of experience quickly gave Chen a solution. The giant dragon, controlled by Chen, whipped the air with intense gusts of wind as it advanced toward Guy, seemingly intending to engage in a head-on collision.
A gleam of excitement flashed in Guy's eyes, and the smile on his face grew more pronounced.
In his exhilarated state, Guy's left hand mimicked a sword-drawing motion, leading his right hand in a smooth slash forward until his arm was fully extended, creating a thin line parallel to the ground. Finally, he swiped his fingers at the cyan dragon before him with incredible speed.
But at this critical moment, Chen suddenly changed his tactic.
The cyan dragon vanished, and the powerful gusts of wind surrounding Chen surged outward, causing Guy's movement to divert slightly.
Without hesitation, Chen bent down and somersaulted to his left.
Chen had studied the Golden Horizon technique, and while it was powerful, it didn't have a large attack range like the Wood Style: Nagi Dragon.
So Chen first created the illusion of a head-on collision to deceive Guy, then used the force of the Wood Style: Nagi Dragon to hinder Guy's attack to a certain extent, and finally took advantage of the unexpected moment to dodge.
Surprise flashed across Guy's face as his attack missed, astonished that Chen had opted to evade instead of meeting his attack head-on.
Chen didn't give Guy any time to reflect, immediately following up with a whirlwind kick that sent Guy tumbling backward several meters.
Chen pressed his advantage, relentlessly unleashing a barrage of punches at Guy, his attacks as fierce as a storm. Even Guy struggled to withstand the onslaught.
From then on, Guy was forced to shift from offense to defense, and he no longer had the upper hand.
"Guy is strong, but it's still difficult to beat Chen," Genma Shiranui remarked with a sigh.
To be honest, Genma could barely follow the intense battle between Guy and Chen. He could only gauge their strength by the outcome of the fight.
"Your foundation is solid, but you need more combat experience and practice with various taijutsu techniques," Chen said as he helped Guy to his feet.
By the standards of a typical eleven-year-old ninja, Might Guy was undoubtedly top-notch in both combat experience and taijutsu skills, with no apparent weaknesses.
However, when compared to his exceptional physical prowess and chakra control, Guy lacked in terms of battle experience and the finesse of his taijutsu techniques.
"Alright, today I'll add another 500 laps around Konoha to my training!" Guy nodded, accepting his loss and choosing to push himself further.
Guy was not one to make excuses for himself. He knew that a loss was a loss, and his only option was to become stronger and strive for victory the next time.
...
[Name: Might Guy
Life Mission: The Road to Becoming the Ultimate Taijutsu Master
Main Objective: Become a pinnacle existence in the ninja world, renowned for your mastery of taijutsu. Prove that one can become a formidable ninja without relying on ninjutsu, achieving greatness through sheer physical prowess and skill.
Progress: 29.9%]
As Mu Yue regularly checked on her disciples' life mission progress, she noticed that Guy's mission was approaching a settlement node, just 0.1% away from unlocking a progress reward.
Mu Yue closed the panel and made her way to the training field to begin another day of Root Organization instruction.
Reaching the settlement node was only 0.1% away, and Guy didn't need to go out on missions to achieve it. He just needed to continue his solitary training for a while longer.
For the new week, Mu Yue made a slight alteration to the curriculum. Mondays and Thursdays would now focus on nature transformation and ninjutsu practice, while the remaining days would still be dedicated to training in the Dark Chant.
Mu Yue began instructing them in the five basic nature transformations, using the ninjutsu techniques she had developed herself.
However, instead of jumping straight to the B-rank ninjutsu, she started with teaching them the C-rank versions of the five basic ninjutsu.
In the ranking system of Konoha, B-rank ninjutsu was already considered advanced and challenging to learn.
To accommodate the majority of her students, Mu Yue began with the C-rank ninjutsu, making it easier for them to subsequently learn the upgraded B-rank versions.

Rewards: Chakra Nature Transformation Understanding Increased, Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation +25, Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation +24, Water Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation +15, Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation +9, Fireball Jutsu +35...]
As Mu Yue finished teaching for the day, the panel promptly displayed her rewards.
She opened her attribute panel to check her progress. Both her Wood Release and Ice Release had increased by over twenty points in proficiency.
[Skills: Ice Release (Proficiency: 1740/3000) Wood Release (Proficiency: 1042/3000)]
Due to her frequent use of Ice Release ninjutsu on the Kirigakure battlefield, her proficiency in that area had increased significantly. In contrast, her usage of Wood Release had been minimal, aside from when she used the nature transformation experience scroll to boost her proficiency to 1,000 points. Afterward, she had only gained an additional 42 points.
Mu Yue made a rough estimate. With the rewards from her daily lectures and the final boost she would receive at the end of the cultivation period, she believed that both her Ice Release and Wood Release would reach the Mastery level, although the proficiency might not be exceptionally high.
After the training session, Mu Yue headed to Tsunade's house to cook.
"Teacher Mu Yue, Lady Tsunade, I've successfully advanced to the rank of Jonin!" Nohara Rin entered with a beaming smile, sharing the good news.
Rin was grateful to both Mu Yue and Tsunade for their help in her intensive training, which had led to her quick advancement.
"That's great. Shizune, you should learn from her. Rin and you are of the same generation, aren't you? I'm not asking too much of you. Just reach Jonin level by the end of this year," Tsunade replied, nodding in approval, then turning to Shizune.
Shizune was surprised. She never expected Tsunade to show concern for her ninja rank; it seemed Tsunade cared about her more than she realized.
Shizune's heart warmed at the thought, and she resolved to work hard to become a Jonin as soon as possible, despite her average abilities.
"Jonin can take on more lucrative missions, and I haven't had a good gambling spree in a long time," Tsunade added.
Hearing this, Shizune's warm heart froze, and she gave Tsunade a look of disbelief.
"Rin, here's your Jonin gift," Mu Yue said as he slipped out, retrieving the egg and presenting it to Nohara Rin.
This final Pokemon egg was the one that Obito had drawn as his Jonin reward.
Rin carefully took the large egg and sincerely thanked Mu Yue.
Her diligent efforts were driven by her desire to become stronger and make a greater impact in battles, as well as her anticipation for her Jonin gift.
After all, who could resist the charm of a cute Pokemon like Eevee? While Ditto was useful, calling it cute would be a stretch.
