Chapter 598: Wind Dragon Pierces Dark Clouds
Sou Yuukai had brown short hair, a white robe, and a gentle smile on his face. Even without being told, Laozi felt he could recognize him.
It had nothing to do with his appearance, but rather the aura Sou Yuukai exuded—a quality Laozi found difficult to describe, yet he felt it was befitting of a ninja teacher.
As Mu Yue walked up to the podium, the separated crowd converged once more.
"However, what if it rains with this setup?"
Laozi shifted his gaze from Sou Yuukai to the light gray clouds obscuring the sun.
He didn't mind the lack of seating, but based on his experience over the past few days, holding an outdoor class in the Rain Country could easily turn them into drenched chickens.
"Hello everyone, I am Sou Yuukai, and I will be your instructor again today." Mu Yue scanned the crowd with a smile.
Hearing Sou Yuukai's voice, Laozi turned his attention back to him.
As a foreigner, Sou Yuukai was likely more familiar with the weather patterns of the Rain Country.
"We still have ten minutes before the official start of the class. Within this time, I will randomly select ninjas, and those chosen can ask me one question about their cultivation." Mu Yue scanned the crowd and, finding no issues, continued, "I won't start the lesson early, but I don't mind giving a little bonus to those who arrived early."
The ninjas below lit up at the prospect, feeling their early morning rise was worth it.
This was a one-on-one consultation with a ninja teacher, something money couldn't always buy.
Mu Yue casually pointed to a Rain Ninja Village ninja, signaling the others to quiet down.
"Me?" The chosen Rain Ninja Village member was surprised to be the lucky one.
He had thought it would be the Grass Ninja next to him, as their village, though allied with the Ninja Sect, had minimal interaction, making their relationship somewhat awkward.
It was only when Mu Yue directed a gentle stream of chakra at him that the Rain Ninja was sure he had been selected.
The Rain Ninja instinctively looked at Danzo, who was sitting a little ahead of him.
From his position, he could only see Danzo's profile, and seeing no change in his expression, the Rain Ninja breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Can you teach us some techniques for altering the form of water-attribute chakra? They say water release is suitable for form alteration, but I always encounter issues with instability."
"When altering the form of chakra, you cannot completely ignore the transformation of its nature. Different nature chakras require different form-altering methods," Mu Yue explained the reason first and then demonstrated the form alterations for three different attribute chakras.
The Rain Ninja thanked him repeatedly, and the other ninjas cultivating water release also looked thoughtful.
Mu Yue then selected a Rock Ninja to answer his doubts, focusing on earth attribute chakra nature transformation as most Rock Ninjas cultivated earth release.
The third ninja called upon was a Grass Ninja cultivating fire release.
Mu Yue did indeed select ninjas randomly, but his choices were not entirely without order. He limited the chakra attributes, choosing one ninja for each type, ensuring that all attending ninjas could benefit.
Form alteration and nature transformation were the foundation of the chakra system, and Might Guy, who cultivated only bodily techniques, was an extreme rarity.
At first, no one noticed this pattern, but when the fourth ninja, cultivating a different attribute, was chosen, they realized that each selected ninja cultivated a different type of ninja technique.
Many ninjas admired Mu Yue's consideration, silently praising Ninja Teacher Sou Yuukai for his thoughtful random selection.
Some were also curious about how Sou Yuukai accurately selected ninjas cultivating different attributes.
While most Rock Ninjas cultivated earth release, there were still some who practiced other techniques, and selecting a Rock Ninja cultivating fire release could have been awkward.
"A well-deserved reputation," Laozi marveled inwardly.
In just ten minutes of answering questions, Sou Yuukai had already displayed his ninja and teaching prowess, and what impressed Laozi the most was Sou Yuukai's comfortable handling of the situation.
If Sou Yuukai had started the class early because most had arrived, it would have been unfair to those who were yet to arrive.
As the class timing was set by Sou Yuukai, and they hadn't been late, it would be unfair for them to miss out on part of the lesson.
This extracurricular extension was a good solution—a bonus for those who came early, without affecting the main lesson.
Moreover, Sou Yuukai's random selection was truly random, with ninjas from major and minor ninja villages, as well as unaffiliated ninjas, all given a chance.
"Everyone, quiet down a bit. We will now officially begin the class. This morning's main content is the chakra nature transformation of fire and wind," Mu Yue coughed lightly as the start time arrived.
The previously buzzing crowd immediately quieted down, growing increasingly silent until no one spoke.
Among these thousands of ninjas, most had attended the first unrestricted lesson and understood the rules, cherishing this opportunity. Those who didn't know the rules also fell silent under the influence of the atmosphere and dared not cause a ruckus.
Then came the raindrops, falling from the sky.
Rain was a common occurrence in the Rain Country; if Fire Country didn't experience fires, then Rain Country certainly lived up to its name.
Many of the ninjas turned their gazes towards Sou Yuukai, quietly awaiting his response to the sudden downpour.
This hadn't happened during the previous unrestricted class. Although they hadn't had a full week of sunny days, it had never rained during class time before.
Ordinary people, upon seeing the sudden torrential rain, would probably scramble home in a panic.
However, the ninjas in attendance were far from ordinary. Some had endured rigorous training, while others had undertaken missions with slim odds of survival. To them, this unexpected turn of events was merely a minor inconvenience.
Laozi, too, watched Sou Yuukai with curiosity.
While it was true that a little rain wasn't much of an issue for ninjas, he didn't think Sou Yuukai would simply let everyone get soaked during the lesson.
Mu Yue looked up at the sky and silently switched his breathing technique from Rock Breath to Wind Breath, focusing his breathing to enter the Wind Chakra Mode.
He never planned his classes around the weather because no matter how heavy the rain, he always had a solution.
Whoosh!
Mu Yue burst forth with chakra and leaped high into the air, his white robes billowing wildly in the gusty winds that accompanied the downpour.
Then, in mid-air, he swiftly formed hand seals, his fingers moving at incredible speed as he formed three seals in quick succession.
Normally, he wouldn't need to bother with hand seals, but to maintain the secrecy of his dual identities as Yuukai and Mu Yue, he often pretended to form seals.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Hurricane Dragon!"
As Mu Yue completed the final seal, he expelled the wind-attribute chakra from within his body, which had already undergone a nature transformation.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
A tempestuous white dragon erupted from Mu Yue's mouth, a terrifying hurricane sweeping across the field, causing the ninjas on the ground to use their chakra just to remain standing in the face of the powerful winds.
Roar!
A ferocious roar reverberated as the storm dragon plunged into the dark clouds.
In the next moment, a gap appeared in the clouds.
The radiant sun shone through the opening, illuminating Mu Yue as he descended, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Another loud rumble echoed through the air, and the ninjas on the ground felt as if the brightness of the world had suddenly increased by several levels.
They looked up once more, and this time, they saw the sun hanging high in the sky, while the dark clouds had vanished without a trace.
"Let's continue with the class," Mu Yue said as he landed, a nonchalant smile on his face as if nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred. "This morning, I'll mainly be discussing the chakra nature transformations of fire and wind."
Although Mu Yue had merely repeated what he'd said earlier, the wind-style ninjas in the audience stared at him with eager anticipation.
They weren't sure how strong Fire Dragon Bullet Technique was, but the wind-style technique he'd just displayed was undeniably powerful. Despite the distance, they could still feel its effects down on the ground.
"He actually mastered such a powerful wind-style jutsu!" thought Hanzo, his expression unchanged as he maintained his composure, but his heart was filled with astonishment.
While Hanzo himself wasn't proficient in wind-style jutsu, he had crossed paths with powerful wind-style specialists in the past.
Among all the wind-style ninjas he had encountered, Sou Yuukai's technique, in terms of both range and power, was unparalleled.
Hanzo truly couldn't fathom how Sou Yuukai had achieved such a level of mastery. Did he have a hundred hours in a day?
He looked to be in his twenties or thirties at most, yet he had mastered nature transformations for all seven chakras, and his skill in each of these attributes was exceptional, with some reaching heavenly heights.
"Is fire-style jutsu really his most proficient ninjutsu?" Hanzo wondered inwardly.
Previously, he had been absolutely certain of this, as it was a terrifying fire-style technique that could suppress his water-style jutsu even when he had the advantage.
Now, however, Hanzo wasn't so sure. The wind-style jutsu Sou Yuukai had just displayed didn't feel as powerful as Fire Dragon Bullet Technique, but who could guarantee that Sou Yuukai had used his full strength?
After all, this wasn't a battle; he had simply dispersed the rain clouds.
Hanzo decided not to dwell on these thoughts any further. If his suspicions were true, then it would be truly terrifying.
Soon, everyone was immersed in the lesson, their minds focused on the content rather than random distractions.
When lunchtime arrived, signaling a break in the class, Laozi was still captivated by Sou Yuukai's teachings.
"If I had a teacher like him since I was young, I would be at least twice as strong as I am now," Laozi mused.
He didn't know wind-style jutsu, but he had trained in fire-style techniques.
His strongest combat technique, Lava Release, was a bloodline limit that combined fire and earth-attribute chakras.
"He really is impressive. I find it quite interesting, too," the Four-Tails acknowledged.
The Four-Tails naturally possessed Lava Release and hadn't trained in any ninjutsu, but after attending Mu Yue's class, even he felt tempted to try practicing a fire-style jutsu.
