[Disciple Might Guy has completed the training task, earning the reward: Chakra +1000, Breath of Rock (Master Level)]
[Disciple Uchiha Obito has completed the training task, earning the reward: Chakra +700, Great Fire Extinguishing (Proficient Level)]
The system panel quickly popped up with several pieces of information.
"It seems that the final completion rate has a significant impact on the rewards." Mokgetsu thought as he looked at the difference in rewards between the two.
The training task rewards consist of two parts: the strength improved during the task, and the task objective.
During the task, Obito's Taijutsu was on par with Might Guy, but he didn't complete the task objective of being first, so his rewards lagged significantly behind Might Guy's.
Mokgetsu focused his attention on the reward of Breath of Rock, instantly recognizing it was not a Ninjutsu from the world of Naruto, having seen it in another series.
With the experience from receiving Soru previously, Mokgetsu knew the system would also reward items from other worlds, and then localize them into Naruto.
Recalling the decades-long training memory of Breath of Rock that suddenly came to mind, Mokgetsu once again affirmed its localization.
After reviewing the memory, Mokgetsu felt the Naruto version of Breath of Rock could indeed be called a Kinjutsu.
Mastering Breath of Rock allows for the use of Full Concentration Breathing in critical moments to unleash terrifying power.
Proficient mastery of Breath of Rock allows one to maintain a state of Full Concentration Breathing for twenty-four hours, concretized as Full Concentration Breathing·Constant State, effectively enhancing physical strength and improving abilities.
Upon mastering Breath of Rock, one can employ a stronger breath, causing Chakra to erupt and strengthen the body, entering Pattern State, significantly boosting overall power.
However, using Pattern State consumes a massive amount of Chakra and puts extreme pressure on the body.
"In fact, it's more suitable for me than Eight Gates." Mokgetsu nodded to himself.
As long as he doesn't proactively enter Pattern State, Breath of Rock is absolutely beneficial and harmless, allowing for better daily physical training and explosive fight power when needed.
Thinking carefully, Mokgetsu realized that combining Eight Gates and Breath of Rock is the perfect match.
Eight Gates opens the body's gates to massively increase Chakra, but the Chakra is too violent to use Ninjutsu; however, the Pattern State of Breath of Rock doesn't require precise Chakra control.
The massive Chakra from the Eight Gates is just right to sustain the Pattern State, and using both only needs to consider if the body can withstand the stress.
This is where the advantage of learning Breathing Technique comes in; it can improve physical strength.
Mokgetsu felt that Eight Gates plus Breathing Technique is a good combination, and using Seven Gates with Pattern State is much safer than directly opening the Death Gate.
Mokgetsu felt his luck truly shined this time. Obito's proficient level Great Fire Extinguishing was good, but it paled in comparison to the Naruto version of Breath of Rock.
Mokgetsu opened his personal panel.
[Name: Habu Mokgetsu]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 11300]
[Skills: Chef, Three-Finger Seal, Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing, Soru, Earth Release: Earth Spear, Breath of Rock…]
[Evaluation: You have mastered many Ninjutsu, including some high-level ones with terrifying power as Kinjutsu. You can unleash astonishing strength whenever you wish, and among many Jonin, your strength is indeed elite.]
Seeing his Chakra successfully surpass five figures, Mokgetsu felt a surge of joy.
From the 4300 he had when first crossing over to now 11300, he achieved this in just one semester.
The Ninja Academy has three semesters per year. If he maintains this growth each semester, not counting holiday gains, he could increase by 21000 Chakra in a year.
"Currently, my Chakra should equate to 4.5 Little Kakameters." Mokgetsu mused to himself.
People often used Kakashi as a unit of Chakra measurement in his past life, though they referred to him as a child, so he called it Little Kak.
The top ranker was announced, marking the end of the exam. Teachers and students each went their own ways.
"Obito, are you okay?" Nohara Rin jogged over to Obito and asked.
"What could be wrong? Just a little kick..."
Obito hadn't finished his words when a sudden sharp movement twisted the spot Might Guy had kicked, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Don't push yourself. Let me help you." Nohara Rin said, holding her forehead with a helpless expression.
"No need, I'm really fine, just underestimated him and lost; it's no big deal." Obito gritted his teeth, trying to maintain face.
His loss this time stung fiercely, having lost in front of Mokgetsu and Nohara Rin, and without being able to retort when Kakashi teased him about never placing first.
"Teacher Mokgetsu." Obito's gaze flickered as he saw Mokgetsu approaching.
"How are you feeling? Should I take you to the infirmary?" Mokgetsu asked with a concerned expression.
It's important to quickly console a defeated student.
"No need, I'm actually fine," Obito replied honestly, aside from some pain, he felt alright, having previously refused the proctor's suggestion to visit the infirmary.
"Better have it checked anyway, in case you're hurt." Mokgetsu said warmly.
"Teacher Mokgetsu is right, let's go visit the infirmary." Nohara Rin agreed.
"Rin, why don't you head home first? I'll go with Teacher Mokgetsu to the infirmary." Obito found it hard to refuse their joint suggestion.
"I'll go too," Nohara Rin said, worried for Obito.
"No need, since Teacher Mokgetsu is here." Obito didn't want to trouble Nohara Rin too much.
"I'll accompany Obito," Might Guy offered.
Despite going all out in their fight, he still viewed Obito as a comrade.
"See, I have two people with me already, Rin, you should go home," Obito said.
Nohara Rin thought it over and decided Mokgetsu was a reliable teacher, and with Obito's insistence, she ultimately headed home alone.
In the infirmary, Mokgetsu found an excuse to send Might Guy away, then began a heartfelt conversation with Obito.
"Don't let one exam's results affect you, there are two exams each semester, six each year. If not this one, then strive harder in the next," Mokgetsu said earnestly.
"And don't think you're letting me down by not placing first. If you and Guy both thought that, it'd mean someone would 'let me down' twice each semester." Mokgetsu joked.
Obito chuckled, realizing Mokgetsu had a point. Exams weren't a one-time thing; there'd be opportunities next semester to try harder.
"As long as you improve your strength through diligent training, there's no letting me down." Mokgetsu said, patting Obito's head.
"Teacher Mokgetsu…" Seeing Mokgetsu's sincere expression, Obito felt deeply moved, resolving to earn first place next semester to prove he's worthy of Mokgetsu's teaching, standing on par with Might Guy.
[Disciple Uchiha Obito sets a training task]
[Training Task: Achieve first place in Ninja Academy's practical examination for the year]
Watching the system notification pop up, Mokgetsu smiled contentedly.
After comforting his defeated student, Mokgetsu didn't forget to reward the victorious one, leading Might Guy out of the infirmary.
