Chapter 630: Yamato's Windfall and a New Perfect Skill
Chapter 630: Yamato's Windfall and a New Perfect Skill
"Yamato's trust level is also full." Mu Yue nodded slightly as she read the sudden notification.
The importance of trust levels was undeniable. Higher trust levels not only provided more chakra feedback but also unlocked more advanced skills.
"I wonder what perfect-level reward will appear this time." Mu Yue was intrigued.
Each disciple who reached Trust Level 4 had a guaranteed chance to receive a perfect-level reward.
Perfect-level skills were extremely rare, and even Mu Yue, with all her current strength, did not possess many. Each one played a crucial role in her overall power.
Mu Yue's ideal reward would be a perfect-level chakra nature transformation, preferably the one in which she had the least proficiency.
A ninja's strength was closely tied to their chakra, even when it came to using taijutsu. Chakra nature transformation, being a foundation of chakra control, could enhance multiple abilities.
For instance, if Mu Yue's lightning-release chakra nature transformation reached the perfect level, her One-Sword of No Thought technique would become exponentially more powerful. Her lightning-style jutsu, when using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, would also see a significant boost in strength, and her various lightning-style chakra techniques would become even more formidable due to the enhanced nature transformation.
Mu Yue pushed these thoughts aside and continued studying the Wood Release ninjutsu scroll left by Hashirama Senju.
It wasn't just for show; Mu Yue was genuinely learning Wood Release.
Aside from the prestige associated with Hashirama Senju, Wood Release was inherently strong, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities while also specializing in tailed beasts.
As the time approached 7 p.m., Mu Yue prepared to teach the squad leaders of the Anbu division. Suddenly, the memories of her shadow clone, which had been training in the Southern Border Forest, flowed into her mind.
"Yamato's new training plan... I'll try it out later and take the opportunity to unlock a new skill." Mu Yue didn't pause in her steps and quickly made her way to the training field of the training squad.
After school, Yamato had sought out her shadow clone in the Southern Border Forest to ask for advice on how to balance his studies and training.
Although the shadow clone was unaware of Yamato's increased trust level, it didn't immediately provide an answer as it needed some time to devise a suitable and reasonable training plan.
This turned out to be convenient for Mu Yue, as she could now unlock Yamato's coin the following day.
She had already used up today's quota of disciple returns, so even if she had broken through a trust level, she wouldn't have been able to unlock the reward immediately.
...
The next afternoon, after school, Mu Yue went directly to Yamato's house.
She arrived slightly earlier than Yamato and waited for about three minutes before he appeared.
"Teacher Mu Yue." Yamato was surprised to see her and then noticed the items she was holding.
He immediately thought of his query from the previous day and felt a wave of gratitude.
Not only had Mu Yue helped him with a training plan at the fastest speed, but she had also brought it directly to his home.
"Teacher Mu Yue, please come in." Yamato quickly invited her into his house.
Mu Yue nodded and entered.
"Please wait a moment, Teacher Mu Yue. I'll get you a glass of water," Yamato offered, realizing he didn't have any tea to offer her.
He didn't drink tea himself, and there was usually no need for hospitality.
Mu Yue placed the elixir and training plan on the table. Instead of diving straight into training topics, she asked about Yamato's experience at school.
"How have the past few days at school been? Are you settling in well?"
"It's fine, except the classes about ninja knowledge are a bit boring," Yamato replied honestly.
Most students enjoyed the ninja-related courses but disliked the purely academic subjects like history and literature. However, due to his unique background, Yamato felt the opposite. He actually enjoyed those academic subjects.
"So, school life isn't too bad for you, then," Mu Yue said with a smile.
Yamato nodded in agreement.
In fact, he quite liked it. If it weren't for the fact that studying took up some of his training time, he might have wanted to stay in ninja school for a longer period.
"Enjoy your school life while it lasts. Once you graduate, you won't be a student anymore," Mu Yue advised.
As she spoke, she picked up the items she had brought and placed them in front of Yamato. "Here's the new training plan I've prepared for you, along with a semester's worth of cultivation elixirs."
"Thank you so much, Teacher Mu Yue," Yamato expressed his gratitude.
He truly felt fortunate to have met Mu Yue. If he had remained in Root, although he would have received training and wouldn't have gone hungry, his life definitely wouldn't have been as comfortable as it was now.
Most likely, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to attend school, and he wouldn't have met a senior like Kakashi. He also wouldn't have had a teacher who cared for him as much as Mu Yue did.
[You have gifted your disciple with cultivation elixirs. Your disciple is extremely grateful. Super Critical Hit! Reward received – Wood Release (Perfect-level)]
As the message popped up, a vast amount of Wood Release training memories surfaced in Mu Yue's mind.
He instantly comprehended some of the Wood Release ninjutsu he was still learning, and his understanding of the Wood Release techniques he had already mastered deepened.
"Then, train well. That's the best repayment for me," Mu Yue said with a smile as he patted Yamato on the head.
Although it wasn't the basic chakra nature transformation he had envisioned, it was better in a sense.
Because it was harder to improve proficiency in bloodline limits than in regular nature transformations.
There were requirements for proficiency feedback from classes; Mu Yue needed the students to truly learn, which meant that if Mu Yue taught Wood Release or Ice Release, he wouldn't get the same effect as with regular nature transformations since those were genuinely difficult to master through teaching alone.
Unless Mu Yue was instructing a group of ninjas who already had Wood and Ice Release, but there weren't that many ninjas in the ninja world who possessed bloodline limits.
After bursting the coin, Mu Yue didn't leave immediately but stayed and had dinner with Yamato before returning to the training squad to prepare for the evening classes.
After finishing his work with the training squad, Mu Yue used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport outside Konoha and then hurried toward the southwestern part of the Fire Country using Lightning Breath.
That area was remote, economically underdeveloped, and far from any battlefield, making it an ideal place to test ninjutsu.
Mu Yue quickly made his way to an uninhabited mountain and carefully scanned the surroundings with his Byakugan, the All-Seeing White Eye, and other abilities.
Once he confirmed that no one was around, he began his practice.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"
As Mu Yue swiftly formed hand seals, a massive amount of chakra within him rapidly transformed into wood-style chakra, stimulating the growth of trees from the ground.
Rumble, Rumble!!
Countless trees burst forth from the earth and grew rapidly, increasing the already dense forest on the mountain to an eerie level.
Mu Yue nodded slightly as he looked at the vast expanse of sturdy trees.
Although he hadn't seen Senju Hashirama's Nativity of a World of Trees, he had seen Danzo Shimura's panel and witnessed him perform the technique.
The Nativity of a World of Trees that he casually displayed was far superior to Danzo's in terms of both range and the thickness of the trees, so it probably wasn't a real estate-level Wood Release technique.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Blooming Trees!"
Once again, Mu Yue gathered a large amount of Wood Release chakra.
Boom, Boom!!
Huge vines drilled out from the ground and grew rapidly, thickening and sprouting flower buds.
Nativity of a World of Blooming Trees was a strengthened version of Nativity of a World of Trees, producing vines that were not only longer and thicker but also capable of releasing intoxicating pollen.
To prevent Danzo Shimura from learning this technique, Mu Yue had even prepared corresponding medicines and breathing masks.
However, Danzo never mastered it, so Mu Yue's preparations were unnecessary.
With no enemies around, Mu Yue canceled the technique without releasing the pollen.
"Wood Release: Wood Person Technique!"
Boom, Boom!!
Mu Yue poured an enormous amount of chakra into the technique, causing the trees around him to swell further and eventually merge and transform into a colossal wooden figure, about forty meters tall.
Standing atop the giant wood person and overlooking the surroundings, Mu Yue felt a unique sense of exhilaration.
Regardless of its power, piloting a giant mecha was undeniably cool.
Mu Yue controlled the wood person and threw a punch at a small mountain peak.
Bang!!!
The moment the fist made contact, the mountain peak shattered, sending rocks of various sizes flying in all directions.
The wood created by Wood Release was different from ordinary trees, and its hardness depended on the strength of the chakra used.
For example, Senju Hashirama's wood person could even catch and throw back a Tailed Beast Ball.
After landing the punch, Mu Yue canceled the wood person and erased some traces of his training.
"I still need to attain Sage Mode," Mu Yue thought as he refined chakra on the spot.
If there was one Wood Release technique that left the most impressive mark in people's minds, it would be Senju Hashirama's True Thousand Hands in Sage Mode.
The colossal wood person, with its enormous size, sat atop the True Thousand Hands, looking like a toy. It could single-handedly capture the Nine-Tails as if it were catching a chicken.
When all the arms of the True Thousand Hands attacked together, they could even shatter Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.
Even in the later versions where Madara went rogue, this remained an extremely powerful technique.
"Should I contact Jiraiya or Tsunade?" Mu Yue wondered as he continued on his way.
Actually, attaining Sage Mode wouldn't be difficult for him. Each of the Three Great Dojos had their own secret art, and Mu Yue had good relationships with both Tsunade and Jiraiya. He could seek their help to train in Sage Arts at Mount Myoboku or Shikkotsu Forest.
However, Mu Yue had always been concerned about the mysterious ancestral masters of the Three Great Dojos.
"Aside from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, the ancestors of the Dragon's Lair and the Bone Forest don't really make an appearance in the original work."
"Tsunade and the others only summoned a clone of the Slug Sage that possessed its own consciousness."
"Even though they don't have much presence in the plot, these ancestral sages of the Holy Lands cannot be underestimated."
"Take the Great Toad Sage, for example. It possesses the power to foresee the future and has lived from the era of the Sage of the Six Paths up until now. Its prophecies are intertwined throughout the entire story of Naruto."
"Muyue couldn't believe that the strength of a long-lived being who mastered senjutsu would be lacking."
"What if it saw Muyue's future, was dissatisfied with it, and decided to interfere? Wouldn't that be like handing Muyue over to them on a silver platter?"
"As for the Slug Sage, Muyue knows too little about it, and the unknown itself is a risk."
"With these concerns in mind, coupled with the fact that Muyue was in a period of rapid strength growth, researching other methods that would significantly enhance his power, he didn't feel that spending time to cultivate the high-risk Hermit Mode was worth it, so he didn't try to find a way to contact the Holy Lands and practice senjutsu."
"Upon returning to Konoha, Muyue placed his Pokemon Egg beside him and continued to study the breathing techniques."
"He had always kept the Pokemon Egg with him, and whenever he went out, he would store it in the system space."
"Muyue banished all extraneous thoughts and quickly entered a state of concentration."
"He needed the Hermit Mode, but it wasn't urgent. Even if he had it now, he wouldn't be able to learn the True Thousand Hands."
"The True Thousand Hands is a senjutsu that even Senju Hashirama found slightly taxing to use. One can imagine how immense the chakra consumption is, and the current Muyue simply couldn't bear such an extravagant cost."
"An hour later, Muyue stopped his research and prepared to go to bed."
"Just as Muyue turned off the lights, the Pokemon Egg suddenly emitted a faint green glow, which quickly disappeared."
"At the same time, Muyue inexplicably felt his body become lighter."
"Intrigued, Muyue activated his Byakugan to look at the Pokemon Egg, but unfortunately, he still couldn't penetrate the layer of light to see the creature inside."
"It's probably about to hatch," Muyue thought. "If it's a legendary Pokemon, with some nurturing and my current strength, perhaps I can pay a visit to those Holy Lands."
Based on the localized Pokemon skills in the system, Muyue knew that localized legendary Pokemon would be no pushovers, and having a legendary Pokemon as a companion, along with his own strength, would ensure his escape if needed.
...
"Leader Chen, if you discover anything unusual, please fire a signal flare immediately. I will dispatch troops to provide support." Mito Menyan said to Teacher Chen.
Teacher Chen was quite skilled and experienced, so Mito Menyan decided to have him lead another team to eliminate the Kirigakure ninja.
"Understood. You be careful too, Advisor Mito," Teacher Chen nodded.
His skill and experience allowed him to address Mito Menyan without the need for formal titles.
"Let's move out!"
Mito Menyan and Teacher Chen each organized their forces and set off in two different directions.
Mito Menyan was aware of Kirigakure's strong assassination capabilities, so he brought along two Jonin from the Hyuga clan and had them take turns using the Byakugan to scout the area as they traveled.
"Advisor Mito, there's a large group of Kirigakure ninja creating a thick fog ahead, and we're unable to predict their numbers!" As they neared their destination, the Hyuga Jonin reported.
The Byakugan could see through ordinary smoke and discern chakra signatures, thus estimating the number and strength of enemies.
However, the Kirigakure ninja's jutsu was different; the fog itself was made of chakra, so the Byakugan only saw chakra in all directions.
"Wind Release ninja, step forward and use Wind Release jutsu to disperse the fog! Proceed with caution!" Mito Menyan thought for a moment and gave his orders.
After preparing for so long, he wasn't about to turn back just because of a little fog.
Otherwise, there would be no need for battle, as there were plenty of Kirigakure ninja who could use the Kirigakure no Jutsu.
And so, Mito Menyan led his forces steadily forward.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Suddenly, a massive water dragon surged out of the fog.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Mito Menyan reacted swiftly, forming the necessary hand seals to create a huge wall of earth that blocked the water dragon.
"You dare to attack me?" Mito Menyan glared at the small figure that emerged from the thinning fog.
"Heh, why wouldn't I dare?" Kotsuna Yakura sneered.
"There are approximately five hundred enemies!" The Hyuga Jonin quickly assessed the situation as the Kirigakure no Jutsu began to fade.
Mito Menyan remained calm; the situation was as he had imagined, and the battle would be an easy one.
After all, he had brought along a force of eight hundred ninja.
"Wait, there's a large group of Kirigakure ninja approaching from the distance!" Another Hyuga ninja discovered an important fact.
Mito Menyan's expression changed abruptly.
