Chapter 541: Overflowing Gold Coins, S+ Scroll of Extraction

Chapter 541: Overflowing Gold Coins, S+ Scroll of Extraction

Along with the conclusion of the Ninja Arena tournament, various pieces of news began to spread, and the life missions of Might Guy and Obito Uchiha underwent significant changes.

【Name: Might Guy】

Life Mission: The Path to Becoming the Ultimate Taijutsu Master

Main Objective: Become a pinnacle powerhouse in the ninja world, renowned for his exceptional taijutsu skills, proving that one need not rely on ninjutsu to become a formidable force.

Mission Progress: 43.1%

Compared to when he was in the Hidden Mist Village, Might Guy's strength and fame had increased considerably.

In terms of power, Might Guy could now effortlessly withstand the simultaneous activation of five of the Eight Inner Gates and the Rock Lee Chakra Mode, exhibiting greater mastery over the Golden Horizon technique and improvements in all aspects of taijutsu.

In terms of fame, the Youth Ninja Competition had made Might Guy somewhat of a celebrity within the ninja world, with both large and small ninja villages and factions taking note of his formidable abilities.

Although Might Guy placed among the top four and not as the runner-up, his strength was acknowledged as the second best in the tournament, second only to Nagato.

The dual advancement in strength and reputation caused Might Guy's life mission to once again meet the conditions for a settlement, and he was now only 6.9% away from the next settlement, surpassing Obito's progress in their life missions.

Name: Obito Uchiha

Life Mission: It's not that one must become Hokage to be acknowledged, but that one must be acknowledged to become Hokage.

Main Objective: Become the Hokage of Konohagakure.

Mission Progress: 40%

While Obito had also made decent progress in various aspects and gained significant renown by placing second, due to the differences in their mission requirements, his mission progress did not increase as much as Might Guy's, and he was now slightly behind.

Fortunately, Obito happened to meet the criteria for a settlement reward, allowing him to claim a progress reward.

As Mu Yue examined the progress reward, memories of her past life surfaced.

Disciple Might Guy has enhanced his strength and risen in fame, making significant progress on the path to becoming the ultimate taijutsu master. Progress Reward—Moderate enhancement in physique, Self-selected Scroll Fragment·S+ (Proficiency Level), and Taijutsu Proficiency Scroll.

Disciple Obito Uchiha has improved his strength, risen in fame, and gained experience, increasing the probability of becoming Hokage. Progress Reward—Chakra +1600, Self-selected Scroll Fragment·S+ (Proficiency Level), and Fire Attribute Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll.

Scroll Fragments: Collect three fragments to synthesize a complete extraction scroll.

Self-selected Extraction Scroll·S+ (Proficiency Level): Choose any skill type for extraction.

Mu Yue's expression turned slightly awkward. Seeing the word "fragments," she felt a bit exasperated at the thought of having to collect fragments even after transmigrating.

Fortunately, in addition to Might Guy and Obito, Kakashi Hatake's life mission had also changed, and it had done so earlier than Obito's, right after the battle with Sasori.

Perhaps because this battle was not as intense as the previous encounter with the Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, or due to some other factor that Mu Yue had not noticed, Kakashi's mission progress did not increase as drastically as the last time.

Name: Kakashi Hatake

Life Mission: True strength lies in protection.

Main Objective: Protect your comrades and everything that you hold dear.

Mission Progress: 53% (Remaining Trigger Count: 3)



Of course, reaching over 50% was still commendable, and a reward could be claimed.

Disciple Kakashi Hatake has successfully protected his comrades in dire straits. Progress Reward—Moderate amount of sword training experience, Self-selected Scroll Fragment·S+ (Proficiency Level), and Sword Experience Scroll.

Including the scroll generated from Kakashi's mission, they now had three fragments, enough to synthesize a complete scroll.

Synthesis successful. Obtained item—Self-selected Extraction Scroll·S+ (Proficiency Level).

Mu Yue did not rush to use the extraction scroll. Instead, she turned her attention to the rewards from the Ninja Arena tournament.

In truth, Mu Yue had many ways to earn money, and the reason she chose to organize the Ninja Arena tournament was twofold. Firstly, she wanted to help her disciples advance in their life missions, and secondly, she wanted to test if hosting a major event like this could trigger system rewards.

In the past, when Mu Yue had less chakra, she noticed that the system rewarded chakra for passing exams. Thus, during special training sessions, she set up numerous exams, hoping to farm these rewards.

However, the system's rewards were not that easily obtained. None of the smaller exams that Mu Yue set up had any effect, and only the final exam at the conclusion of the special training session triggered the exam reward.

While that test indicated that there were hardly any loopholes in the system to exploit, it also revealed something else—whether or not an event was subjectively orchestrated by Mu Yue, as long as it met the system's criteria for rewarding, a reward would be given.

Under your guidance, Disciple Nagato has diligently trained and improved his strength, achieving perfect results in the Youth Ninja Competition. Reward—Chakra +2000, Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll·S (Proficiency Level), and Combination Ninjutsu (Proficiency Level).

Under your guidance, Disciple Obito Uchiha has diligently trained and improved his strength, achieving excellent results in the Youth Ninja Competition. Reward—Chakra +1800, Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll·A (Proficiency Level), and Fire Release: Demon Lantern (Proficiency Level).

Under your guidance, Disciple Might Guy has diligently trained and improved his strength, achieving excellent results in the Youth Ninja Competition. Reward—Chakra +1500, Taijutsu Extraction Scroll·A (Skilled Level), and Painful Sky Leg (Skilled Level).

Under your guidance, Disciple Itachi Uchiha has diligently trained and improved his strength, achieving excellent results in the Youth Ninja Competition. Reward—Chakra +1500, Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll·A (Skilled Level).

Under your guidance, Disciple Kakashi Hatake has diligently trained and improved his strength, achieving good results in the Youth Ninja Competition. Reward—Chakra +1200, Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll·B (Skilled Level).

As all of Mu Yue's disciples participated in the Youth Ninja Competition, the rewards were exceptionally generous. The basic chakra rewards alone totaled a staggering 8,000 points.

Nagato, who placed first, received an S-tier extraction reward and also granted Mu Yue a proficient-level Combination Ninjutsu skill.

While the Combination Ninjutsu skill might seem plain and simple, it actually had a fairly high upper limit and was far more useful than an ordinary proficient-level skill.

However, since Mu Yue herself had already cultivated the Combination Ninjutsu skill to the proficient level, Nagato's proficient-level skill transformed into 3,000 points of proficiency.

With this sudden influx of 3,000 proficiency points, Mu Yue's mind was filled with a vast array of training memories, and her skill in Combination Ninjutsu soared to new heights.

Mu Yue suppressed the urge to go and test out her improved ninjutsu, choosing instead to carefully examine the rewards of her other disciples.

The skills that Might Guy and Obito had obtained were also quite impressive, but their utility for Mu Yue at this point was limited, as she already possessed similar skills in abundance.

Mu Yue thought there might be some truth to this, and perhaps the principle behind earning exam rewards was similar. That's why he didn't receive any rewards for the consecutive exams he held in a short span of time, as the interval was too short for his disciples to show noticeable improvement.

"Regardless, getting rewards is always a good thing," Mu Yue concluded, deciding not to dwell on it further due to insufficient information.

All in all, his Ninja Arena tournament could be considered a resounding success. Not only had it solved the Ninja Sect's financial woes, but it had also enhanced their reputation and status.

His disciples had also made progress in their life missions and reaped the rewards from the competition.

Since there were quite a few extraction scrolls to go through, Mu Yue didn't simply wash his hands as he had done previously. Instead, he took a bath, burned incense, and recited the names of various deities before beginning the draw.

Although it might not have any effect, going through the ritual gave him greater peace of mind.

Mu Yue decided to start with the lowest-grade scroll and used the B-grade extraction scroll first.

【Ninja Art Extraction Scroll·B (Skilled Level) has been used. Obtained Ninja Art – Flying Leaf Quick Blade (Skilled Level)】

Organizing the memories in his mind, Mu Yue realized that Grass-type moves from Pokemon had been localized by the system as Wood Style ninjutsu.

"Is it because I possess Wood Style that I was able to draw a related skill?" Mu Yue wondered.

Before he gained a bloodline limit, he had received extraction scrolls but never drew any localized skills that were bloodline limit ninjutsu, which led him to this speculation.

According to the system's settings, if a skill was rewarded, Mu Yue would definitely be able to use it. If he didn't meet the requirements, the system would forcibly enhance his capabilities or grant him certain abilities to make it possible.

For instance, when Mu Yue was rewarded with Water Style ninjutsu before mastering the Water Attribute chakra nature transformation, the system provided him with a small amount of nature transformation to enable him to use the technique.

Similarly, when he received the Proficient Level 'Void Blade' skill, he was also granted a large amount of sword experience and the Lightning Attribute chakra nature transformation.

Mu Yue speculated that this was the reason why, in relation to bloodline limit skills, one must possess the corresponding bloodline limit to be able to draw the skill.

Otherwise, if a B-grade extraction scroll yielded a Grass Attribute and an Ice Attribute ninjutsu, thus granting him Wood Style and Ice Style, Mu Yue couldn't imagine the system being this generous.

The system was quite strict when it came to bloodline limits. The two bloodline limit rewards he currently had were obtained when his disciples ranked first in the Chunin Exams.

Next, Mu Yue used the two A-grade extraction scrolls of Skilled Level together.

【Ninja Art Extraction Scroll·A (Skilled Level) has been used. Obtained Ninja Art – Earth Style: Earth Spear Pillar (Skilled Level)】

【Ninja Art Extraction Scroll·A (Skilled Level) has been used. Obtained Ninja Art – Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade (Skilled Level)】

This time, no skills from other worlds appeared, and both were native Fire Shadow ninjutsu. Nonetheless, they were decent techniques, especially considering that A-grade extraction scrolls were not that low in rank.

Mu Yue continued to click on the extraction option.

【Ninja Art Extraction Scroll·A (Proficient Level) has been used. Obtained Ninja Art – Fire Style: Flame Vortex (Proficient Level)】

As soon as the extraction was complete, a vast array of training memories related to the Flame Vortex flooded Mu Yue's mind.

The gap between Proficient Level and Skilled Level was significant. While it only took five hundred proficiency points to advance from Beginner to Skilled Level, progressing from Skilled to Proficient Level required three thousand points.

Mu Yue nodded to himself, acknowledging the difference. Since this was reality and not a turn-based combat game, the actual implications of the Flame Vortex were vastly different from what they would be in a game, and even in his eyes, it was a decent Fire Style technique.

Having extracted all the scrolls up to S-grade, Mu Yue turned his attention to the S-grade extraction scroll.

There was a notable gap between A-grade and S-grade, and the skills obtained from an S-grade extraction scroll would undoubtedly be beneficial even to him at his current stage. As for the S-grade and below, it was more a matter of luck.

While the Flame Vortex was somewhat useful to Mu Yue, techniques like the Earth Spear Pillar were only good for teaching; they held no value for him personally.

【Ninja Art Extraction Scroll·S (Proficient Level) has been used. Obtained Ninja Art – Rain Prayer (Proficient Level)】

As the extraction concluded, a multitude of training insights related to Rain Prayer emerged in Mu Yue's mind.

"Not exceptionally good, but not bad either," Mu Yue thought, satisfied with the result.

Rain Prayer was similar to Clear Skies Day, but while Clear Skies Day created a super sunny day to boost Fire Style techniques, Rain Prayer induced rainfall to enhance Water Style ninjutsu.

The Water Attribute chakra nature transformation was the second-highest in terms of proficiency among all nature transformations that Mu Yue possessed. Currently, his proficiency had reached the Proficient Level, with over ten thousand points, and he was only four thousand points away from advancing to the Perfect Level.

Additionally, Mu Yue could teach Rain Prayer to Menas to enhance her and Rin's strength.

The reason he didn't consider teaching it directly to Rin wasn't because the skill was exclusive to Pokemon; the localized skills drawn from the system didn't have such restrictions. It was because Rin's current data in various aspects didn't meet the requirements to use Rain Prayer, so even if she learned it, she wouldn't be able to put it into practice.

Mu Yue also intended to teach Clear Skies Day to Charizard.

Although Obito could use Clear Skies Day, the technique was quite complex and time-consuming to learn, and it consumed a considerable amount of chakra.

Mu Yue believed that it would be more beneficial for Charizard to use it instead of Obito.

Finally, Mu Yue's gaze fell upon the highest-grade S+ extraction scroll.

He had possessed the system for over three years, and this was only the second time he had obtained an S+ extraction scroll. The first was when Kakashi's life mission reached a hundred percent progress, and the second was now.

While both were S+ grade extraction scrolls, the one he obtained this time was evidently a notch above the previous one.

The S+ extraction scroll rewarded for Kakashi's life mission was restricted to Lightning Attribute skills.

However, the one he acquired by combining fragments was unrestricted, allowing him to search and select the type of skill he wanted to extract.

After some thought, Mu Yue chose the Fire Attribute.

Currently, Might Guy possessed the Golden Horizon, Kakashi had the Void Blade, and Itachi and Obito lacked similarly powerful techniques to match theirs.

In considering Itachi and Obito, Mu Yue also thought about himself.

While he possessed a wide array of abilities, some were more effective than others. Against weaker opponents, any ability would suffice, but there were truly powerful shinobi in the ninja world, so strengthening himself was equally important.

His Fire Attribute chakra nature transformation was the only Perfect Level nature transformation he had, and obtaining a sufficiently powerful Fire Attribute skill would be a boost to his capabilities.

[The Fire Attribute Skill Extraction Scroll·S+ (Proficiency Level) has been consumed. Obtained Ninjutsu - Blue Flame]



Looking at where the roulette needle finally stopped, Mu Yue recalled the skill-related memories.

This was an exclusive Fire-type skill of the Level 1 God, Reshiram, in the Pokemon world.

In the Pokemon games, this skill wasn't particularly special; it was just a Fire-type skill with greater power and no unique effects.

The games had to consider balance, so even a God Pokemon couldn't have abilities that were ridiculously stronger than those of ordinary Pokemon.

But reality had no such balance—the strong were strong, and the weak were weak.

Having now experienced countless skill-training memory infusions, Mu Yue was adept at organizing the information. Soon, he finished sorting out Blue Flame.

All Mu Yue could say was that it lived up to being an exclusive skill of a Level 1 God in the Pokemon world. Its strength was truly remarkable, and it was by no means inferior to the Void Blade. It could be considered a Secret Fire Ninjutsu among secret fire ninjutsu.

The Void Blade not only required Lightning-attribute Chakra Nature Transformation but also demanded a high level of swordsmanship. In contrast, Blue Flame was more straightforward, needing only proficiency in Fire-attribute Chakra Nature Transformation and practice in special Fire Ninjutsu techniques.

However, this didn't mean that Blue Flame was easier than the Void Blade. On the contrary, Blue Flame had higher requirements for Chakra Nature Transformation.

With Mu Yue's understanding of Blue Flame, only Danzo and Obito could barely meet the requirements after entering the Flame Control Chakra Mode.

And this was after Danzo and Obito had made significant progress. If Mu Yue had obtained Blue Flame during the Battle of Kirigakure, even if he wanted to teach it, Danzo and the others wouldn't have been able to learn it.

Learning so many new skills at once, including ultra-advanced skills like Blue Flame and Rain Prayer, even Mu Yue felt a little tired.

In truth, Mu Yue knew that this was a result of the system's influence. According to the authenticity of the training memories in his mind, if an ordinary person's brain were suddenly filled with so much information, it would probably crash.

Mu Yue had wanted to find a secluded place to test out his new skills, but since Obito had come to the Ninja Sect to inquire about custom ninjutsu, Mu Yue decided to put it off and meet with Obito while disguised.

...

Ninja Sect Guest Room

Obito, Kakashi, and Danzo were waiting for the legendary ninja teacher, while Nagato and Yahiko, as members of the Ninja Sect, were there to receive them.

"No wonder you were so confident about making it to the top two, Obito. It turns out that aside from your own strength, you also have a contract with a powerful flying Summoning Beast."

Since they were all participants in the Youth Ninja Competition, Yahiko chose that as their topic of conversation.

"Of course. I predicted that I would make it to the top two," Obito replied proudly, his face beaming at Yahiko's compliment about his strength.

Although he had been bluffing at the time, he had indeed placed second, so it wasn't just empty talk—he had confidently assessed his abilities.

"You were just unlucky, Yahiko, to meet that Sand-Style user in the first round. Otherwise, with your strength, you could have made it to the top eight." Obito returned the compliment.

After all, Yahiko had praised him, so he felt he should reciprocate.

"Haha, I guess my luck wasn't that great. Maybe I used up all my luck for the next few years when I met you, Asuma," Yahiko said, scratching his head and laughing.

While Yahiko didn't think he could've definitely made it to the top eight, he knew that he wasn't at the bottom of the pack, either.

"So, it seems that Asuma and the others hold a special place in your heart," Kakashi said, his eyes drifting to Nagato and Konan as he spoke.

Kakashi paused for a moment, then asked, "How is your organization, Akatsuki, doing? I haven't heard much about it lately."

He actually thought Obito was pretty foolish to come looking for a ninja teacher because he didn't know how to create custom ninjutsu.

Kakashi had come along because he wanted to gather more information about Akatsuki and the Ninja Sect.

According to future intel from Yamato, the Akatsuki organization in later years would become too strong and despicable. If they could prevent the emergence of this evil organization and crush it in its infancy, that would be for the best.

"Oh? Akatsuki? There's no Akatsuki anymore. Now there's only the Ninja Sect squad with the codename 'Akatsuki,'" Yahiko replied with a smile, showing no hint of regret or sadness.

Yahiko might occasionally reminisce about the old days of Akatsuki, but he had never regretted its disbandment.

The Ninja Sect was Yahiko's ideal, and he was now on the path to realizing his dream. How could he possibly regret anything?

"By the way, I'm the captain," Yahiko added, bursting into laughter.

Obito's expression turned envious.

Although he had placed second in the Youth Ninja Competition and was a famous young genius, he had never been a captain, not even a vice-captain.

And Obito couldn't refute Kakashi's experience and capabilities.

"Damn that white-haired bastard," Obito muttered to himself, thinking of how Kakashi had been ordering him around.

Kakashi remained expressionless on the surface, simply nodding as if he now understood, but inwardly, he was stirred up.

"As I expected, the evil Akatsuki organization of the future is closely related to the Ninja Sect!" Kakashi thought.

Currently, Akatsuki had disbanded, and the Ninja Sect had appeared, yet Kakashi had received no information about the Ninja Sect from future Yamato.

Perhaps the situation had reversed, and it was now the Ninja Sect that had disbanded, giving rise to the evil Akatsuki.

Kakashi wasn't just overthinking; this was the only explanation that made sense with the information he had.

It was known that there would be a powerful evil Akatsuki organization in the future, and Yahiko, one of Akatsuki's three founding members, had exceptional strength. Now, Akatsuki had disbanded and joined the Ninja Sect, and the Ninja Sect even had Kakuzu, a member of the future evil Akatsuki.

Kakashi didn't believe that the Ninja Sect had nothing to do with the future evil Akatsuki.

Just then, Mu Yue, disguised, walked out and drew everyone's attention.

PS: This chapter is 6k words. Coming up with these skills is really time-consuming, especially for someone like Little Orange who has decision-making difficulties.

If you have any skills you'd like to see, feel free to leave suggestions in the comments for this chapter. I'll consider them, and if they fit, I'll use them.

Try not to suggest anything too obscure, though. Firstly, I might not be familiar with it, and secondly, some readers might not understand it...
