Chapter 71: An Intriguing Sealing Jutsu
Chapter 71: An Intriguing Sealing Jutsu
"Guy, congratulations on ranking first in your grade." Mu Yue said with a warm smile.
Looking at Mu Yue's gentle smile, like the warm sun of spring, Might Guy felt a sense of surrealness before his eyes.
He had always been a confident person, firmly believing that his relentless hard work and training would make him the strongest.
Even before graduating from the Ninja Academy, he had faced numerous failures and setbacks. He failed the entrance exam and only managed to enter the academy as a supplementary student. He was nicknamed "Dead Last" due to his poor grades, and during his first challenge against Kakashi, he was instantly defeated...
Most of the time, he would laugh it off and continue striving, and while doubts occasionally surfaced, he would quickly regain his determination.
Even so, Might Guy never expected the turnaround to come so swiftly.
In the practical exam last semester, he couldn't even rank among the top twenty in his class. Yet, this semester, his worst performance was being second in the grade, and he even achieved first place in the final exam, becoming the strongest in the fourth grade.
He was well aware of who brought about this change—Mu Yue.
Mu Yue taught him taijutsu, provided him with precious elixirs, and helped him grow tremendously in such a short period.
"All thanks to your guidance, Teacher Mu Yue!" Might Guy said, his right hand clenched into a fist as tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes.
"Don't undermine your own efforts. While my teachings are effective, it is your diligent training that is the key to your success. Continue working hard like this, and you will undoubtedly fulfill your dreams." Mu Yue encouraged.
Might Guy's blood boiled with enthusiasm at Mu Yue's words; he could already envision himself becoming the strongest in taijutsu. He was itching to start doing push-ups right then and there to train his body.
"Here's the cultivation method and experience for the Shaving technique. Take it and read through it first. I'll teach you how to cultivate it during tomorrow morning's training," Mu Yue said with a smile as she handed the scroll to Might Guy.
[You have gifted your disciple the cultivation scroll for the Shaving technique. Your disciple is extremely grateful, resulting in a critical hit reward: Wood Style: Dragon God (Proficient).]
Under the impact of immense emotion, Might Guy inadvertently revealed to Mu Yue a high-level taijutsu that he had mastered—Wood Style: Dragon God—along with a vast amount of related cultivation memories.
"Ah, this particular technique," Mu Yue recalled the memories of this jutsu from the original story.
In the anime, this taijutsu was a high-level technique developed by a taijutsu ninja named Chen. According to the plot, even Chen's own disciple had not yet mastered Wood Style: Dragon God, so it would be quite odd for someone else to have learned it.
However, even without copyright issues, Mu Yue had no intention of teaching this technique to her disciple. Wood Style: Dragon God had relatively high requirements for the body and chakra control, making it unsuitable for the current stage of her disciple's training.
"I understand, Teacher Mu Yue. I'll read it carefully when I get home," Might Guy replied gratefully.
Ever since Mu Yue taught him the Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, he had been eager to learn this instant movement technique called Shaving. Thus, when Mu Yue gave him the cultivation scroll for Shaving, he immediately treasured it.
"You don't need to come to my place for training today. Take some time to relax and do something you enjoy," Mu Yue said after some thought. She was laying the groundwork for Might Guy's next training mission.
Obito, who had been comforted and encouraged by her, had set a new training mission to become the top of his grade. However, Might Guy had yet to receive a new mission after completing his first one.
Undoubtedly, training missions were an essential aspect of obtaining rewards. Once completed, they could grant a significant amount of chakra and various other high-level rewards.
Hence, two weeks before the final exams began, Mu Yue had already started contemplating how to trigger a new training mission after the settlement of the first one.
As for the disciple who achieved first place, Mu Yue decided to induce a new training mission by appealing to his character, aspirations, and dreams.
In the case of Might Guy, Mu Yue believed that a training mission centered on defeating Kakashi would be a suitable challenge and relatively easy to trigger. Thus, she suggested that he take some time to indulge in activities he enjoyed.
With his recent surge in strength and his newfound status as the top student in his grade, Might Guy would undoubtedly seek out his best friend and rival, Kakashi, for a friendly spar.
Once Might Guy experienced defeat at Kakashi's hands, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce a new training mission.
Although a similar attempt in the past had only resulted in a generic training mission, Mu Yue attributed this to insufficient trust and her disciple's lack of understanding of her capabilities. After all, the previous attempt had still triggered a mission, even if it didn't align with her original vision.
Might Guy nodded, already planning to seek out Kakashi the following day.
Ever since embarking on his intensive training regimen, Might Guy had refrained from challenging Kakashi to a battle, and he was itching for a fight.
Meanwhile, after concluding Obito's treatment, Mu Yue returned to her practice of sealing jutsu, delving into the knowledge imparted to her by Kushina.
Ten days had passed since Kushina bestowed upon him the Three-Finger Seal, and he had achieved preliminary mastery of the technique on the sixth day. The subsequent days were spent refining his skill and delving deeper into the intricacies of sealing jutsu.
With each passing day of study and practice, Mu Yue's understanding of sealing jutsu grew, and he uncovered intriguing mechanisms within the art.
He realized that, all else being equal, the smaller the effect of the jutsu, the more solid and difficult to break the seal became.
Using the One-Finger Seal as an example, the effect of sealing the chakra in the entire body was extremely easy to break.
However, if the effect of the One-Finger Seal was modified to seal the chakra in a specific limb, the strength of the seal increased exponentially.
Alternatively, without altering the effect, a stronger seal could be achieved with greater chakra control and quantity.
One of the most powerful sealing jutsu in the ninja world was undoubtedly the Six Paths-Diabolic Seal used to seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki, and it came with the significant limitation of requiring the Yin-Yang Release.
This led Mu Yue to surmise the reason behind the Uzumaki clan's innate talent for sealing jutsu—their naturally robust chakra.
" Chakra is everything," Mu Yue mused, deeply aware of the importance of chakra quantity and control.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate to have his external aid in the form of the system; otherwise, even with the advantage of foreknowledge, establishing himself in the ninja world would have been immensely challenging.
"Once the holidays start, my chakra increase will probably slow down a bit," Mu Yue thought to himself.
With the summer break approaching, aside from the reward he would receive two days later for the exam results, Mu Yue had no immediate means of acquiring additional chakra or ninjutsu through the Ninja School.
Teaching classes provided a significant amount of chakra, and if he dedicated an entire month's worth of classes solely to increasing chakra without focusing on ninjutsu, he could accumulate nearly 800 chakra.
One benefit of the upcoming break was that Might Guy and Obito would have more time to train with him, and increased training sessions would accelerate their growth. Mu Yue anticipated an improvement in the amount of chakra he could recover from their training.
As evening fell, Mu Yue, after purchasing fish from the market, made his way back to his home in the main city. Tonight, he planned to prepare a delicious and visually appealing dish for Kushina and Minato.
