Southern Border Forest, Mokgetsu is conducting daily lessons.
"Rin, if you're teaming up with Obito and Guy, what do you see as your role?" Mokgetsu asked Nohara Rin.
"To heal them when they get injured and also to protect myself during combat." Nohara Rin replied.
"Actually, medical ninjas are not without combat abilities. You know about Tsunade, one of the Sannin, right?" Mokgetsu nodded and continued to ask.
"Yes, I also want to become an excellent medical ninja like Lady Tsunade." Nohara Rin replied, a gleam of admiration in her eyes as she spoke.
If we were to talk about the most popular male ninja in Konoha, it might be difficult to choose, but if it's about the most popular female ninja, it can only be Tsunade.
Tsunade has a lot of fans among both male and female ninjas. Nohara Rin is a little fan of Tsunade, longing to be like Tsunade, providing strong healing and also being a force in battle.
"It's possible to succeed as long as you work hard on your cultivation."
Mokgetsu smiled encouragingly, then continued:
"Excellent medical ninjas actually have considerable combat power; the higher the level of medical ninjutsu, the stronger the combat ability."
After saying this, Mokgetsu took Nohara Rin to a big tree.
"Chakra Scalpel!"
Mokgetsu concentrated chakra in his hand and then transformed its form to make it sharper, finally swinging lightly at the tree.
Boom!
Mokgetsu's hand, which seemed to use little force, directly cut down the whole tree.
"Amazing, is this also a medical ninjutsu?" Nohara Rin said in surprise, covering her slightly open mouth with her right hand.
When Nohara Rin saw the cross-section of the tree, she was even more surprised because the cut was so smooth and even, it was unlike anything that could be done by hand.
"Yes, this is an A-level medical ninjutsu, the Chakra Scalpel. You need to have a certain grasp of medical ninjutsu to learn this advanced medical ninjutsu." Mokgetsu explained.
Then Mokgetsu demonstrated by cutting a stone, where the hard rock was sliced in half like tofu by Mokgetsu's Chakra Scalpel.
"Is this the next thing I'll be cultivating?" Nohara Rin looked at Mokgetsu with anticipation.
"With your current medical ninjutsu knowledge, it's not enough to master this jutsu." Mokgetsu shook his head and replied.
"Got it." Nohara Rin was a bit disappointed, but her motivation to learn grew even stronger. If she could learn such a powerful medical ninjutsu, she would have significant combat power.
"What I'm going to teach you now is something else, which can also increase your combat power, and it's even more crucial." Mokgetsu continued.
Because there were many trees here, Mokgetsu randomly picked a bigger tree than the one he had just cut with the Chakra Scalpel and kicked it with a burst of chakra.
Boom again, and the tree was directly broken and fell to the ground.
Mokgetsu then stomped on the ground, and a four-meter area around him cracked open.
Because of these frequent loud noises, Obito glanced over several times.
"Is this taijutsu?" Nohara Rin asked, somewhat uncertain.
Nohara Rin felt that if she applied the same kick with her strength, it would only raise a little dust, and she couldn't imagine how painful it would be if such a kick struck a person.
"It is taijutsu, but the reason this taijutsu can have such destructive power is not because of physical strength, but due to a special chakra technique called Monster Strength." Mokgetsu said.
He used the Heaven-piercing Kick he had obtained earlier.
The Monster Strength technique is similar whether used with hands or feet, depending on personal habits. With fists, it's Sakura Charge; with feet, it's Heaven-piercing Kick. The main focus is on chakra control.
Although Nohara Rin has not been learning medical ninjutsu for long, she has already shown talent in chakra control, so Mokgetsu chose to teach Rin Monster Strength instead of the Chakra Scalpel first.
"If you're physically strong and have Monster Strength, wouldn't you be invincibly strong? Guy would fit this perfectly." Obito, who came to rest and watch, said.
"No, Guy isn't suitable. His chakra control ability is too weak and he basically can't learn this technique." Mokgetsu shook his head.
Based on his experience teaching Might Guy Shadow Clone, Mokgetsu could only say that letting Might Guy learn both the high-level Kinjutsu Eight Gates and Monster Strength at the same time, Guy would probably master the Eight Gates first, maybe even open several gates before learning Monster Strength.
That's why Mokgetsu didn't give this seemingly good taijutsu to Might Guy, as it would purely be a waste of time. Moreover, once the Eight Gates is opened, it can't be used, making it even more pointless.
"Among you, only Shisui and Rin are suitable for Monster Strength, but Shisui doesn't need to cultivate this." Mokgetsu said.
Shisui's chakra control ability is also excellent, learning Monster Strength wouldn't be difficult, but he has no need for it.
Obito came to a sudden realization, seeing that Might Guy indeed struggles with certain things, still unable to learn something as simple as the Shadow Clone.
As Mokgetsu expected, Nohara Rin picked it up quickly. After a period, although she still couldn't crack the ground with a single kick like Mokgetsu, she could already punch through a not-too-thick ordinary tree.
"What tremendous power!" Watching Nohara Rin with her slender arms and legs break a tree with one punch, Obito's mouth gaped wide enough to fit a large egg.
"Obito, don't underestimate the strength of a medical ninja." Nohara Rin withdrew her fist with a gentle smile.
Obito thought to himself that he wouldn't dare, not knowing how many bones that punch would break if it hit someone.
"Hehe, Rin, now that you've learned this Monster Strength, you'll definitely surprise everyone in the next combat exam." Seeing Rin's increase in strength, Obito felt happy for her.
Mokgetsu also nodded internally. To prevent Obito's descent into darkness, Rin's strength must also grow so that she won't become a drag.
According to his cultivation plan, by the age of twelve, Rin would already be skilled in advanced medical ninjutsu like the Mystical Palm Jutsu and Chakra Scalpel.
She could use both Monster Strength and Chakra Scalpel offensively, and the Mystical Palm Jutsu to support teammates.
"It's a pity she's not a disciple, otherwise it would be nearing time to activate the enhancement bonus." Mokgetsu thought.
Due to uncertainty about the availability of new disciples in the future, Mokgetsu is holding tightly to his last remaining disciple spot, not using it yet.
Initially, it might not seem significant, but during the rapid growth phase, the gap between talented apprentices and their returning masters would widen significantly.
At trust level four, for instance, a talented disciple gaining a thousand chakra in a month means Mokgetsu could obtain four thousand, but if a disciple only gained three hundred chakra, Mokgetsu would only gain twelve hundred chakra.
Mokgetsu is most interested in taking a disciple from the Uzumaki clan, but without the conditions, the only Uzumaki clan member Mokgetsu has access to is Kushina, who has already grown and boasts a chakra reserve sufficient to suppress a Tailed Beast, estimated at 150,000 chakra.
