[First time completing a teaching session rated S-level, received rewards - Mastery of Yang Attribute Chakra Nature Changes, Mastery of Yin Attribute Chakra Nature Changes]
The rewards were extremely generous, directly giving Mokgetsu two master-level nature transformations, and they were the most special Yin-Yang nature transformations.
A large amount of memories regarding Yin-Yang Chakra nature transformation cultivation continuously appeared in Mokgetsu's mind. After organizing the memories, Mokgetsu glanced at his own panel.
[Name: Habu Mokgetsu]
[Chakra: 66500]
[Skills: Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes (Perfect: 120/80000), Water Attribute Chakra Nature Changes (Master: 8000/15000), Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Changes (Master: 7800), Yin Attribute Chakra Nature Changes (Master: 0), Yang Attribute Chakra Nature Changes (Master: 0)...]
Regarding Chakra, since Mokgetsu changed his reward strategy, the growth rate slowed slightly, but it was still considerable. By the end of this academic year, Mokgetsu expects his total Chakra to reach ninety thousand or even one hundred thousand Chakra.
Although recovery ability is slightly lacking, having a large total amount is still comfortable.
When he saw that the proficiency for Yin-Yang nature changes was zero, Mokgetsu fell into thought.
He didn't know why, but the previous three times he received a master-level Chakra nature changes reward, it came with half the proficiency, but not this time.
"Is it because the Yin-Yang nature is more special? Or was it a beginner's protection period before?" Mokgetsu speculated in his heart.
Clearly, idle speculation would not yield results, so Mokgetsu could only wait until the next time he received a master-level Chakra nature changes reward for verification.
However, Mokgetsu was already very satisfied. Someone with a decent talent might spend their entire life getting one nature transformation to master level, and he got two master-level nature transformations just by giving a lesson.
The next day, Mokgetsu continued teaching with the same rhythm as the first day, but slightly changed the content. Nothing happened after a morning of teaching, but rewards were calculated after the afternoon class ended.
[Completed a quality lecture]
[Rating: S]
[Received rewards: Slight increase in Taijutsu ability, Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +8, Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +45, Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +35, Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +10, Water Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +15]
Looking at the rewards content, Mokgetsu was slightly disappointed. He had the C-group students practicing Taijutsu all day to see if he could get a body-enhancing reward, but it only increased Taijutsu ability.
Overall, the rewards were still very generous. If it keeps adding up like this, by the end of the special training, Mokgetsu's Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Changes and Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes will also advance to master level, making his nature transformations six mastered and one perfect.
After two days of classes, Mokgetsu figured out the mechanism for S-level ratings. More people are needed, the teaching quality must be high, and it takes a long time to reach it. As for rewards, they are completely different from previous ratings, teaching what rewards what.
Even though it's just one grade apart, the fact that teaching what rewards what is far more important to Mokgetsu than the one or two Ninjutsu from A-level.
For example, medical specialty students are coming out soon, and by then, he also wants to attempt an S-level rating, which might significantly help him develop the portable charger.
Of course, the rewards are genuinely good, but what Mokgetsu teaches is also genuinely exhausting. When he gets back, he's too tired to read and needs to rest for a while.
As the special training progresses, the paused Chunin Exam is about to begin. As examinees, Nara Shiomizu and Asuma requested leave from Mokgetsu in advance; the third round of the Chunin Exam is on Tuesday and requires special training.
Considering everyone's desire to watch, Mokgetsu directly gave everyone a day off so they could go watch the Chunin Exam.
Of course, this time off would be adjusted for; this week's Saturday would not have a break, and they'd have it on Sunday instead.
...
August 4th, the day before the Chunin Exam.
Although only one day remains before the Chunin Exam, Mokgetsu's disciples showed no signs of relaxing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Orange flames burned fiercely on Obito's body, and with every punch and kick, he delivered scorching, powerful blows.
Whenever sweat appeared on Obito's body from fatigue, it would vaporize due to high temperatures. He practiced the Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu taught by Mokgetsu over and over, from morning till afternoon, using the breathing technique repeatedly to exhaust his body's strength in search of a breakthrough.
Might Guy's Eight Gates combined with Breath of Rock and Kakashi's godlike slash on the Jonin—these two gave Obito immense pressure.
Not to mention Kakashi and Might Guy, there's also Terumi Mei, who restrains him, waiting in the top eight.
Obito doesn't want to lose; he doesn't want to lose to anyone. Most of his nine-year life was at the bottom, and now that he's turned it around, he wants to keep winning—to show Mokgetsu, to show Nohara Rin, to show Kakashi. He wants everyone to know that Uchiha Obito is no weaker than anyone.
Bam bam!!
All around Might Guy, trees and rocks shattered and broke under his tremendous strength.
Neither thick trees nor hard stones could withstand Might Guy's heavy kicks.
He was trying hard to reach the limit of the Life Gate combined with Breath of Rock.
The last battle with the Hidden Mist Jonin made Might Guy realize he was still a significant distance from the Four Gates, so after returning, he desperately trained his body. He didn't want to be powerless in the next battle, just watching his teammates fight.
Moreover, he wanted to become a Chunin, to ascend to Chunin with the stance of a strong person.
Although two ninjas who had mocked his father once came to apologize, there were far more than two who had done so, whether he knew them or not, openly or secretly.
Might Guy wanted to slap their faces with this Chunin Examination, showing that the son of the ninja they looked down upon would forcefully become a Chunin just a few months after graduating, with strength surpassing theirs.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
Nohara Rin maintained the Breath of Water to use Water Release ninjutsu.
Under Nohara Rin's chakra, the river's water swiftly gathered into a water dragon and then, under Nohara Rin's control, spun around before finally crashing into the water.
"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"
After releasing the Water Dragon Bomb, Nohara Rin immediately formed seals to create a large water bubble on the river's surface with the Water Prison Jutsu.
Since it's easier to use Water Release near the river, Nohara Rin has been continuously practicing Water Release ninjutsu by the river lately.
She was well aware of her disadvantage; the time she had spent learning Water Release ninjutsu was too short, so she could only practice more to increase her proficiency.
"Everyone is so excellent; I can't fall behind. I must strive to win the first round of battle." Once her chakra was nearly exhausted, Nohara Rin thought to herself.
Nohara Rin had a clear self-awareness; her strength couldn't compare to Obito and the others. She didn't need to think about winning first, second, or the top four; reaching the top eight would count as a success.
She just hoped that in future battles, she wouldn't be a burden to Obito and Kakashi, and that she could assist them in battle.
"Breath of Thunder, full concentration!"
Kakashi silently operated his breathing to the limit, with nothing else in his eyes but the wooden dummy made from special wood.
Crack!
Bright yellow lightning erupted from his toes, gradually covering Kakashi's legs. The powerful Lightning Release chakra activated Kakashi's cells, significantly boosting his explosive power.
Boom!
The moment Kakashi dashed forward, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck the ground, producing a thunderous roar. Right after, a flash of yellow lightning crossed the special dummy's body, making a cut directly splitting it into two as it fell down.
"Whew." Kakashi exhaled.
"As expected, it's still not enough. The quick flicker can be used, but the new move won't work." Kakashi recalled his feelings just now and said.
Although he hadn't fully grasped the Transparent World, his perception had improved a lot compared to before, so he could now react to the quick flicker which he couldn't before.
The problem, though, was that after that battle, Kakashi's breathing technique limit had greatly increased, and his swordsmanship had also made rapid progress as if he had achieved enlightenment. Now, the quick flicker was no longer his fastest or strongest move.
Because there would be a thunderous sound when rushing out instantly, Kakashi named the new move Lightning Flash. This new move was developed from combining the experience of the Transparent World with his swordsmanship.
Lightning Flash had considerable power and tremendous speed, with no shortcomings apart from high consumption. As for not reacting quickly enough, Kakashi felt this wasn't the issue of Lightning Flash but rather his own; if he could unlock the Transparent World, this reaction issue would never happen.
Even though Kakashi trained diligently, the difficulty of mastering the Transparent World was even greater than the Pattern, and it wasn't something that could be learned easily. In the past month, Kakashi had not entered the complete state of the Transparent World even once.
"Let's try a bit more. With my current strength, there's no way to win against them comfortably." Kakashi wasn't discouraged and quickly resumed his practice.
After awakening, Kakashi had not forgotten his goal; Might Guy, Obito, and Shisui, he wanted to beat each one of them in return.
Shisui hadn't been seen in action for a while, so there was no point discussing him for now. Currently, Obito and Might Guy were both very formidable, especially since Obito had the Sharingan, making it easy for him to seize upon flaws using moves that Kakashi couldn't react to.
"Alright, everyone head back early to rest. Losing your state for tomorrow wouldn't be worth it." At 6 PM, Mokgetsu's Shadow Clone said.
Mokgetsu felt gratified seeing his students so diligent. When they first came, only Might Guy was hardworking. Although Shisui wasn't lazy, he didn't have this kind of enthusiasm before. As for Obito, he used to look forward to holidays, but now he used that time for cultivation.
Once Mokgetsu spoke, everyone stopped. They understood this logic too, but they were so focused on their cultivation that they hadn't paid attention to the time.
The few students gathered together to rest for a bit. Everyone was so tired that there wasn't much conversation, even Obito who usually talked a lot was like this. They offered each other simple encouragement and then dispersed, with only Shisui staying behind to continue cultivating since he was still a student at the Ninja School.
"How did they all improve so much?" Shisui, who stayed extra, felt puzzled and under great pressure.
PS: Those long strings of characters only count as one character; they just look like a lot. However, for better viewing experience, I'll try to write a little less later on.
