Obito got up very early today because he has become a jonin. According to the experience of Kakashi and the others, Mu Yue will give him a jonin gift.
Obito was very much looking forward to this, as he also wanted to have a summoning beast with great potential.
At the same time, Obito was a little worried. Mu Yue had said before that he didn't have any Ninja Beast Eggs at the moment, which meant that Obito's gift to the Jonin might not be a Ninja Beast Egg, but could be other gifts.
Although Obito would be happy with any gift given by Mu Yue, he would still feel a little sad if he didn't have something that Kakashi had.
Looking at Mu Yue coming over, Obito looked at her expectantly.
When Obito saw Mu Yue walking towards him empty-handed, he felt a little nervous.
He looked left and right and it didn't seem like Mu Yue had any ninja eggs hidden on her body. After all, the ninja eggs that Mu Yue gave away were quite large, and it was quite difficult to hide them on her body.
Seeing that Obito seemed a little disappointed, Mu Yue took out the Ninja Beast Egg from the system backpack, and a big egg appeared out of thin air in Mu Yue's hand.
"Obito, congratulations on becoming a jonin." Mu Yue smiled warmly and handed Obito a Pokémon egg that only Obito could hatch.
The disappointed expression on Obito's face faded, replaced by an indescribable expression of joy.
"Teacher Mu Yue, thank you for your gift. I will definitely hatch the ninja beast well and train it into the strongest summoning beast!" Obito said excitedly with his fists clenched.
Although he said things like "it's just so-so" and "I don't really like summoned beasts" before, these were just words spoken in anger and not Obito's true thoughts.
The protagonist of a ninja novel usually has a ferocious and handsome summoning beast, usually a tiger, lion, or flying dragon. Obito also wants to have a handsome and ferocious summoning beast like the protagonist of the novel.
"Yes, I believe it." Mu Yue nodded with a smile.
[You gave your disciple a Pokémon egg. Because your disciple was very grateful, you rewarded him with a critical hit. You received the reward - Water Style: Sky Cry (Mastery Level)]
As the reward information popped up, a large amount of cultivation experience related to Tianqi appeared in Mu Yue's mind.
In fact, Tianqi Muyue had encountered it during class before, but only twice, so his proficiency was still at the entry level. Now he has mastered it, which is not bad.
Different from water-based ninjutsu such as Suiryudan, Sky Cry is a water-based ninjutsu that uses point penetration. Its main features are its speed and high penetrating power. Also, due to its size like a thin needle, it is relatively difficult to detect.
Holding the hard-earned Ninja Beast Egg in his arms, Obito couldn't help but smile foolishly. He was imagining how tall and mighty the Ninja Beast would be when the Ninja Beast Egg hatched.
Even when Kakashi, Shisui and the others arrived, Obito was still happily holding the Ninja Beast Egg.
Kakashi walked past Obito with a calm expression. He obtained the ninja beast egg earlier than Obito, and the ninja beast had hatched.
"Kakashi, how do you know I was promoted to Jonin?" Obito couldn't help but say after seeing Kakashi.
Kakashi: ...
Who asked you.
"Being promoted to a jonin is not a rare thing. Look at Shisui, he became a jonin at the age of eight. This is something worth talking about." Kakashi said bluntly.
Because the Wuxiang Sword is too difficult, Kakashi has not made any progress. He originally wanted to concentrate on training and ignore other things. Since Obito wants to make trouble for himself, Kakashi will not be polite.
"Um, Shisui..." Obito was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
Logically speaking, he was the youngest in Konoha to become a jonin at the age of ten, but he was indeed a little behind Shisui who was only eight years old.
"If you have too much free time, then practice more. Otherwise, you won't be able to enter the second round of the next civil war. Shisui has also mastered the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode." After Kakashi finished speaking, he got into the state and began to practice.
He didn't say this entirely to anger Obito. Shisui's breakthrough did bring him a lot of pressure.
Kakashi believed that if a civil war among the disciples started immediately, he would not be 100% sure of defeating any one of them.
Might Guy is an opponent he is sure to lose to, and Kakashi is not very confident about whether he can defeat Shisui and Obito as opponents.
Among them, Kakashi felt that his chances of winning against Obito would be greater than against Shisui.
Obito was speechless holding the egg. Kakashi had said all the good and bad things about him, and he couldn't even refute anything.
"Then now Shisui knows one more Armament Haki than me." Obito held the eggs in his right hand and scratched his head with his left hand.
Although Obito's Breathing of Fire is still a little stronger, it is not strong enough to make up for the gap of an Armament Haki secret technique.
The only thing that made Obito feel fortunate was that they now had limited chakra. If Shisui used the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode in the battle, it would be difficult for him to retain chakra to use the Armament Haki.
If Shisui used the Armament Haki first, then the amount of Fire Style that could be released in the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode would be less.
Obito could only reluctantly put the ninja egg in a safe place and then begin training.
It is really painful to always be at the bottom of the civil war. It is not just a matter of face, but the punishment is also difficult for Obito to accept.
The practice continued until 5:30 in the afternoon.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Mu Yue had prepared the meal and was about to eat, there was a knock on his door.
Mu Yue did not go to open the door directly. He opened his Byakugan and looked towards the door, and found that the person knocking on the door was Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then Mu Yue walked to the door at a normal speed and opened it. When he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he made a surprised expression, as if he was surprised why the busy Third Hokage appeared at his door.
"Lord Sandaime, please come in." After Mu Yue reacted, he quickly invited Sarutobi Hiruzen in.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the steaming food on the table and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm so sorry, it seems that I disturbed your dinner, Mu Yue."
"No, have you eaten, Sandaime-sama?" Mu Yue played the classic starting card.
"Not yet. There are a lot of things to deal with recently, and I just left the Hokage Building." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.
"If I had time, I would have called you, Mu Yue, the great hero of the East Coast battlefield, to the Hokage Building for a chat." Sarutobi Hiruzen used a joke to point out how much he valued Mu Yue.
"No, Lord Orochimaru is the real hero on the East Coast battlefield." Mu Yue said seriously.
What Sarutobi Hiruzen said sounded nice, but he couldn't take all the credit. The person who made the greatest contribution must be the highest-ranking commander.
"If you don't mind, Sandaime-sama, why don't you have dinner at my place? I know a thing or two about cooking."
"Then I'll be looking forward to your cooking skills, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with a smile.
There were many reasons why he chose to come to Mu Yue's house in person, one of which was that he wanted Mu Yue to have a better impression of him.
In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen's image in Mu Yue's eyes was more of a good Hokage and a good teacher. Today, he wants to put aside his status and be an ordinary elder of Mu Yue. Having a meal together is a good development.
Of course it was impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to agree to eat just because Mu Yue knew a thing or two about cooking. As the Hokage of the five major ninja villages, he had tasted all kinds of delicacies.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed very busy during the war, but even in the ninja world there was not war every year, and the life of a Hokage in peacetime was very comfortable.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't care, had a changed expression after taking the first bite of fried meat.
Even with Sarutobi Hiruzen's rich vocabulary, he didn't know what words to use to describe such deliciousness. In a trance, he seemed to have become a wild beast running on the prairie, with a sense of unrestrained freedom surrounding his heart.
When he came to his senses, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes changed when he looked at Mu Yue.
If it weren't for his extremely terrifying ninjutsu skills, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have thought he was under an illusion.
But he knew very well that he had not been hit by any ninjutsu just now, and the immersive feeling was completely an illusion caused by the delicious food.
"Mu Yue, it's time for you to change your modesty. This is not just knowledge, but unparalleled in the world." Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed as he savored the indescribable deliciousness.
He took back what he had said. Sarutobi Hiruzen had never eaten such delicious food before. It was unexpected that a dish could have such a magical effect.
"Sir Sandaime, you are too kind. The ninja world is so vast that the word 'unparalleled' is too exaggerated." Mu Yue said modestly.
"You, it would be great if Jiraiya could neutralize you." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly, then his hand unconsciously reached for the food on another plate.
Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have entered a world of gourmet food and did not bring up any other topics except food before finishing the meal.
After finishing his meal, Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered his purpose.
"It's nice to chat in this kind of environment. If we were in the Hokage's office, there wouldn't even be a place for you, Mu Yue, to sit." Sarutobi Hiruzen said jokingly.
"Mu Yue, relax. I'm not going to discuss anything important with you. Just treat me as an ordinary elder in the family. Let's just chat casually."
The expression on Mu Yue's face relaxed a lot, as if she was moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
"Asuma has been training quite hard recently, and has learned a lot of wind and fire jutsu..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to really just want to chat with Mu Yue about some family matters, and talked about Asuma's training.
"Asuma is actually a very hard-working kid. Although Asuma usually seems a little rebellious and disrespectful to you, Sandaime-sama, he actually wants to be recognized by you in his heart."
Mu Yue followed what Sarutobi Hiruzen said and helped them to adjust the father-son relationship.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly. He had been the Hokage for so many years. Couldn't he see through his son's thoughts? But sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that Asuma would become complacent and lower his standards of himself.
Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mu Yue talked a lot, from small things like Asuma and the work in the Ninja School to big things like the situation on the battlefield and the situation in the Ninja World.
"Mu Yue, which ninja do you think is most qualified to become the Fourth Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.
Mu Yue is a ninja born in the Root after all. Although according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observation, Mu Yue should prefer the life of ninja school teachers and ordinary ninjas, he knows something about the training that the Root ninjas have undergone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could not rule out the possibility that Danzo Shimura would use this to get Mu Yue to support Orochimaru to become Hokage.
Before Mu Yue went to the East Coast battlefield, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried about this, but now Mu Yue has become the second Namikaze Minato. Not only is he powerful himself, he also has considerable influence in Konoha.
Coupled with the power of Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that if things continued to develop, something he didn't want to see would happen during the election of the Fourth Hokage.
Mu Yue looked thoughtful, as if she was carefully choosing the person of her choice.
"I think Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lady Tsunade are all qualified to become the fourth generation." Mu Yue seemed to be unable to make a decision.
In fact, the best answer to this kind of thing is to say that it is a serious matter and not worthy of comment, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had already said that they just wanted to chat casually, so Mu Yue couldn't refuse like that.
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out of anger after hearing Mu Yue's words. He was asking which ninja, but Mu Yue named three in one breath, mentioning all three of his disciples.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen has achieved his goal. Since Mu Yue has the political wisdom, he should not be fooled by Danzo Shimura into blindly supporting Orochimaru.
"Then what qualities do they have that make you, Mu Yue, think they are qualified to become the Yondaime?" Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.
As long as Mu Yue doesn't talk nonsense, Sarutobi Hiruzen can feel a little bit of Mu Yue's specific inclination from her words.
"Lord Jiraiya is very powerful, has made great achievements for Konoha on the battlefield, and is a kind person..." Mu Yue praised all the three ninjas without changing his expression.
Mu Yue didn't want to get involved in the fight for the position of Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen could let whoever he wanted to be the Hokage be the Hokage. Mu Yue just wanted to get more rewards to improve his strength.
It doesn't make much difference to Mu Yue who becomes the Hokage, because Mu Yue has a good relationship with all of them.
Tsunade and Mu Yue are both teachers and friends. In Jiraiya's eyes, Mu Yue is an excellent ninja comparable to Namikaze Minato. Orochimaru is optimistic about Mu Yue and wants to train him into his confidant. Namikaze Minato is a very good friend of Mu Yue.
No matter who becomes the Hokage, it will not have a negative impact on Mu Yue.
Even if Danzo Shimura became the Hokage, it would only be beneficial to Mu Yue, because in Danzo Shimura's perspective, Mu Yue was still his capable subordinate.
"They have the advantages you mentioned, but they also have many shortcomings." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether Mu Yue had no bias or was worried about saying the wrong thing and offending people. He didn't feel that Mu Yue would favor anyone at all.
Mu Yue did not respond to this sentence. As a teacher, it was okay for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say that, but as a rising star, how could he, following the example of the seniors who became famous in the ninja world during World War II, talk about it.
After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not talk about Naruto anymore, but instead talked to Mu Yue about his training, explaining his experience in practicing combination ninjutsu.
"Mu Yue, if you are free, please take some time to teach Asuma. This child will recognize you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said before leaving.
"I will go over tomorrow to check out his training results." Mu Yue nodded and replied.
Although there is no reward, Asma is considered half a disciple of Mu Yue, and Mu Yue will try his best to teach him when he has time.
However, what Mu Yue did not expect was that not long after Sarutobi Hiruzen left, the information from the Root arrived.
