Chapter 700: The Exchange
Chapter 700: The Exchange
【Synthesis Successful, Obtained Item - Random Skill Scroll S+ (Mastery Level)】
Mu Yue, as usual, prepared himself for the draw by thoroughly cleaning his hands and reciting the names of various deities during the process.
Randomly drawing from the S+ skill scroll required more luck than choosing a specific skill. While it wouldn't grant him a useless skill, the random nature meant he might not acquire something beneficial to his current abilities. For instance, with his possession of the powerful fire attribute skill, Blue Flame, another fire-based skill would be of little use.
Focusing his thoughts, Mu Yue mentally accessed the random skill scroll in his inventory and confirmed the draw.
Instantly, a giant roulette wheel appeared before Mu Yue, revealing numerous abilities from various worlds. He could see the Haoshoku Haki from the One Piece world, the Crossing Lightning from the Pokemon world, Jutsu from the Jujutsu Kaisen world, and more...
There were numerous powerful skills, but unfortunately, Mu Yue could only acquire one.
As the roulette wheel spun, the needle eventually landed on a skill with multiple dragon-shaped icons.
【Random Skill Scroll S+ Consumed, Obtained Skill - Five Dragon Annihilation (Mastery Level)】
With the skill acquired, a flood of training memories entered Mu Yue's mind, and in that instant, he grasped the powerful ninjutsu known as Five Dragon Annihilation.
After organizing the information in his mind, Mu Yue's expression turned thoughtful.
He was familiar with this skill, which originated from the Bleach universe, specifically the Ghost Techniques, and further categorized as the Destruction Techniques.
In the Naruto universe, Five Dragon Annihilation retained its original destructive nature.
Five Dragon Annihilation didn't involve nature transformation but only chakra transformation.
However, its unique ability was to trigger natural energy in the surrounding environment!
Wherever Five Dragon Annihilation was cast, the ground would shake and collapse, the sky would unleash thunderbolts, and gentle breezes would transform into raging storms. Under the combined force of powerful chakra and natural disasters, everything within the ninjutsu's range would be destroyed.
In Mu Yue's experience, Five Dragon Annihilation was a skill effective against weaker opponents.
At his current level, unless faced with an apocalyptic natural disaster, the skill's impact was minimal. Even with the addition of the chakra dragons, the output limit wasn't exceptionally high, but the range was vast.
Mu Yue believed this skill would be useful for clearing out weaker enemies, more effective than Tree World Birth.
With a single cast of Five Dragon Annihilation, he could potentially wipe out a few thousand ninjas in less than half a minute.
This was an incredibly efficient way to clear out large numbers of enemies, considering the largest ninja village, Iwagakure, had just over ten thousand ninjas.
"Directly manipulating natural energy with chakra to enhance ninjutsu," Mu Yue mused.
While a skill for clearing out weaker enemies wasn't particularly valuable to him, the localized effect of Five Dragon Annihilation inspired Mu Yue to explore new ideas for developing ninjutsu.
Natural energy was an external force, and by combining it with chakra to create Sage Chakra, one could achieve Sage Mode.
Mu Yue wondered if he could directly borrow external natural energy to enhance the power of his ninjutsu.
This approach might significantly increase the upper limit of ninjutsu, as human chakra couldn't compare to the natural energy of an entire planet.
Mu Yue took out a pen and paper to jot down his thoughts.
Five Dragon Annihilation essentially triggered a natural energy rampage, causing various disasters. In contrast, the ninjutsu he envisioned required controlled natural energy, so he couldn't directly apply the techniques of Five Dragon Annihilation to upgrade his skills.
"However, this transformation is extraordinary. With the right nature transformation, the power could be significantly increased, but it might affect the effect of inducing natural energy." Yu Sheng Mu Yue casually jotted down his thoughts on the improved Five Dragon Annihilation.
"If I create a version with the five elemental natures, the ninjutsu output limit should increase significantly, but the ability to clear distractions might be slightly weakened."
After noting down his ideas, Mu Yue flipped through his notes on the insights he gained from studying immortal arts.
He needed to tackle one task at a time. Currently, his Sage Mode was only at the Proficient level with 2,000 proficiency points. He decided to focus on mastering Sage Mode first and then develop the Breath Style Immortal Technique.
...
At 8 p.m., someone knocked on Mu Yue's door.
"Come in, the door's unlocked," said Mu Yue, who had teleported to the living room using Rasengan.
Kaito entered with a chuckle and greeted Mu Yue before asking, "Teacher Mu Yue, are you free today?"
"I'm fine. Just ask if you have any questions," Mu Yue replied, putting down his book.
Recently, Kaito had been coming to his house in the evenings to seek guidance on the Rasengan.
【Name: Uchiha Kaito】
【Skill: Rasengan (Uninitiated: 90/100)】
With the assistance of teaching, enlightenment, and problem-solving skills, Kaito's progress in learning the Rasengan was quite impressive. In just three months, he had raised his proficiency to ninety points, only ten points away from initiating the Rasengan.
"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Mu Yue. I still have some issues with spatial transfer."
Kaito didn't waste any time and quickly explained his problem.
Although Kaito was leading a team, he never neglected his personal growth. With limited training time during the day, he made up for it in the evenings.
After all, strength was essential in the ninja world. A Kage didn't have to be the strongest ninja in the village, but they were typically among the top tier of powerful ninjas.
Mu Yue didn't disappoint Kaito. With his detailed explanations, the intricate space-time ninjutsu became much easier to comprehend.
"So that's how it is. I think I understand a little now," Kaito exclaimed with newfound realization.
"Indeed, learning ninjutsu from you, Teacher Mu Yue, is the best," Kaito marveled.
In fact, he had also sought guidance from Water Gate on the Rasengan, as Water Gate's skill in the technique surpassed even Mu Yue's.
When Kaito consulted Water Gate, he could sense the latter's exceptional Rasengan prowess, but it was challenging to understand and learn.
"By the way, there's an upcoming exchange event with Kirigakure, and Konoha is sending ninjas to the Land of Water for the exchange. Are you interested in going?" Mu Yue asked, remembering something.
This event was initially proposed by Kirigakure and was supposed to take place in Konoha. However, the higher-ups decided to go to the Land of Water first, and the next event would be held in Kirigakure.
As the largest island country in the ninja world, the Land of Water boasted a variety of flora and fauna not found in the Land of Fire, which Mu Yue thought might interest Kaito.
"The Land of Water? I'd love to go," Kaito readily agreed, as it was a country he hadn't visited before.
"Can Haruno Rin and the others come too?" Kaito asked after some thought.
"If they want to go, there are spots available," Mu Yue nodded.
After all, he was the Hokage, and he had the authority to make such decisions. Moreover, Haruno Rin and the others were certainly qualified.
