"Teacher Mokgetsu, this technique's name is quite strange. Why does it start with 'Dragon Slayer Legend'?" During a break, Might Guy asked Mokgetsu.
Might Guy could understand 'Blade Cutter Sword' and 'Golden Horizon'. 'Blade Cutter Sword' was named because the technique uses a nunchaku with chains during its execution, and 'Golden Horizon' because of the effect of the technique. But the initial part, 'Dragon Slayer Legend,' truly puzzled him.
"The developer named it to commemorate a ninja named Dragon," Mokgetsu thought for a moment and said.
Then, Mokgetsu turned the stories of Dragon and Dragon II into a part of the Ninja World and shared them with Might Guy.
Due to war, Dragon got separated from his sister in childhood. To let his sister know his whereabouts, to show her he was capable of protecting her, and to make her return, Dragon fabricated lies and collaborated with a dark ninja organization to portray himself as a mighty hero.
Dragon II, by chance, once received help from Dragon and greatly admired him.
By accident, Dragon II discovered Dragon's cooperation with the dark ninja organization. The dark ninja organization wanted to kill Dragon II to silence him, but Dragon's strength was an illusion. He couldn't protect the child who admired him with his own power.
Deeply guilty of his actions, Dragon couldn't bear to watch the dark ninja organization kill a child who admired a hero. So he exposed everything, admitting he wasn't a hero but just an ordinary ninja.
Eventually, Dragon, gravely injured, died amid ridicule and scorn from others. The child he saved vowed to live on under Dragon's name and fulfill his unfinished wishes.
"To commemorate Dragon, Dragon II named the Taijutsu he developed after learning Eight Extremes Heaven as 'Dragon Slayer Legend: Blade Cutter Sword: Golden Horizon!'" Mokgetsu finally said.
"That's extremely spirited!" Might Guy clenched his fists and said.
Having rich tear glands, he was already in tears before Mokgetsu finished speaking.
"Such a Taijutsu requires cultivation in the most youthful manner!" Quickly, Might Guy transformed this emotion into motivation for cultivation and immersed himself in it.
Seeing this, Mokgetsu smiled and nodded. Golden Horizon suited Might Guy well; he never feared any difficult training.
"Perhaps in the future, there really will be a legend of Dragon in the Ninja World," Mokgetsu thought to himself.
Because Might Guy truly shouted out the name of the Taijutsu during its use.
Soon, a day passed in teaching and researching the Flying Thunder God.
The next morning, Mokgetsu neither went to instruct his disciples nor to the Ninja Academy, but arranged a meeting with Kushina.
Minato was currently the only ninja in Konoha who had mastered the Flying Thunder God, and his proficiency was high. Mokgetsu wanted to seek advice from Minato, but Minato was still on the battlefield and hadn't returned.
Thinking that Kushina had a close relationship with Minato, Mokgetsu thought Minato might have tried to teach Kushina the Flying Thunder God, so Kushina might know some techniques.
As usual, Mokgetsu arrived fifteen minutes early at the rendezvous spot, but Kushina was even earlier, and Mokgetsu found her already waiting when he arrived.
"Good morning, Mokgetsu." Kushina waved her hand enthusiastically greeting Mokgetsu.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a while, Kushina didn't feel a sense of reunion after a long separation. She thought it was probably because she ate the meals Mokgetsu sent every day.
"Hmm, good morning." Mokgetsu responded with a gentle smile as he walked forward.
As Mokgetsu walked over, Kushina eagerly came up to take the food container he handed over.
"It's different from last time." Kushina found it filled with ordinary wagashi after opening it.
"Eating the same dessert all the time would become tiresome." Mokgetsu explained. This time it wasn't because he wanted to eat it, he just wanted a change of taste.
Kushina chuckled and said, "If it's made by you, Mokgetsu, I don't think I could ever tire of it."
Saying that, Kushina picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes instantly brightened; even though it was a common dessert, Mokgetsu's version far surpassed those bought in the market.
While eating, Kushina arrived at the small pavilion where they previously met.
"Ahem." Sitting down, Kushina straightened her back and said firmly, "Even though your desserts are delicious, Mokgetsu, your Fuinjutsu practice hasn't met my expectations. I won't hold back."
"It'll be troublesome then." Although Mokgetsu primarily met Kushina to ask about the Flying Thunder God techniques, he was also happy to learn some Fuinjutsu.
Without realizing it, Mokgetsu's Fuinjutsu progress surprised Kushina greatly. Whether Five Elements Seal or Four Symbols Seal, Mokgetsu used them with finesse. His answers flowed smoothly concerning various high-difficulty questions Kushina asked.
"Most people learn slower and slower, but you're learning faster, Mokgetsu," Kushina said, a bit puzzled.
But she quickly figured it out, pounding her right fist into her left palm with a look of realization, "Could it be that this is what they call 'steady accumulation for a sudden breakthrough'?"
Mokgetsu smiled softly without speaking.
He had just revealed most of his Fuinjutsu prowess, so Kushina's astonishment was within his expectations.
Having reached this level, there was no need to hide everything deep inside; showcasing a little more was actually more reasonable.
"As expected from someone I've taught!" Kushina slightly raised her snow-white chin, her face showing a proud smile.
