[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's strength and reputation have increased, and his influence within the clan has grown. He has made a small step towards resolving the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha. Progress reward received - Chakra +1000, Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, Nirvana Meditation Jutsu (Master Level)]
Perhaps because they are both Uchiha Clan ninjas, and also share some similarities, Shisui's progress rewards don't seem much different from Obito's life mission rewards, except the Master Level Fire Release has turned into Master Level Genjutsu.
Mokgetsu has some impression of the Nirvana Meditation Jutsu, as in the original Konoha Chunin Exams, Yakushi Kabuto used this ninjutsu to put a large number of Konoha ninjas to sleep. This is a wide-range group genjutsu.
However, although the Nirvana Meditation Jutsu has a large range, there is a drawback. Any ninja skilled in genjutsu, even a Genin, can break it.
Yet this is quite normal in the world of Hokage, as most ninjutsu typically excel in one area but find it hard to be perfect in every aspect.
Mokgetsu then looked at the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, which is quite a good reward.
Last time, after enhancing the Byakugan, its abilities improved, and it gained a new ability to emit an invisible small shockwave.
Although it didn't increase Mokgetsu's combat strength much, it proved that his Byakugan is indeed evolving towards a higher level, different from an ordinary Byakugan.
Regardless of how pure a normal Hyuga Clan member's Byakugan is, it only has ordinary abilities like enhanced vision and long-distance observation.
Mokgetsu clicked on the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, and the only enhancement option was still Byakugan. Mokgetsu chose Byakugan and clicked to confirm its usage.
Then Mokgetsu focused his breathing and entered the Transparent World state, sensing the subtle changes happening in his body.
Firstly, the strength of his body increased. Although not by much, it did increase. Mokgetsu estimated that the enhancement was roughly equivalent to training with the Breath of Rock for a month in constant state.
The increase in Chakra Amount was clear, as this was directly displayed on the panel, increasing by fifteen hundred Chakra points.
Neither body strength nor Chakra Amount was Mokgetsu's main focus. He casually formed a Rasengan to consume some Chakra, then immediately refined Chakra.
"As expected, like last time, it's gotten a bit faster again." Mokgetsu nodded in satisfaction.
Chakra recovery speed has always been a moderate issue for Mokgetsu, as most of the Chakra Amount was directly enhanced by the system, so his recovery speed always mismatched his total Chakra.
For a long period, Mokgetsu had Kage Level Chakra Amount but normal Jonin recovery speed.
Mokgetsu has also been researching the Yang Seal partly because of this, as having ample backup Chakra can greatly compensate for slow recovery.
As for a permanent solution, Mokgetsu currently has no good method, other than relying on Breathing Technique to slowly improve his physique, or using such body-modifying rewards like the Bloodline Enhancement.
There actually is a quick solution, but the risk is too high. Finding Orochimaru to implant Hashirama cells would solve the problem entirely, but it would mean entrusting his life to Orochimaru. Mokgetsu would rather continue studying the Yang Seal and temper his physique through Breathing Technique.
Firstly, during this period, Orochimaru is already obsessed with immortality. A Mokgetsu, who has many secrets, would be somewhat walking into a trap if delivered into Orochimaru's hands.
Secondly, Orochimaru hasn't fully mastered the Hashirama Cell Transplantation experiment, making it extremely risky. Even if Orochimaru sincerely performed the transplant surgery, there would still be a significant probability that Mokgetsu would die during the experiment.
As someone with cheats, there's no need for Mokgetsu to take such a gamble.
Finally, Mokgetsu gathered Chakra in his eyes to activate the Byakugan, wanting to see if there would be any new abilities this time.
After a series of tests, Mokgetsu found that this time only the observation range had been enhanced, and no new abilities had appeared as before.
Upon completing the tests, Mokgetsu deactivated the Byakugan and again turned to the panel, opening Shisui's life mission.
[Name: Uchiha Shisui]
[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha]
[Main Objective: Resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, integrating the Uchiha into Konoha]
[Mission Progress: 13.6%]
Though he was the first disciple to start a life mission, Shisui, due to the special nature of his life mission, has the fewest progress settlements among the disciples, having completed just one settlement so far.
Currently, Obito has the highest number of settlements, with three, while Might Guy and Kakashi have two. Notably, Might Guy is nearing thirty percent, soon to undergo his third settlement.
As for Nagato, since he became a disciple relatively late, he hasn't yet started his life mission.
...
Southern Border Forest.
Kakashi was earnestly observing the recently hatched little brown-furred dog, pondering how to help it grow stronger.
Kakashi noticed that the ninja beast eggs given by Mokgetsu hatched ninja beasts which grow significantly faster than normal animals. The Rockruff could already run all over the place a few days after hatching, its energy and stamina unlike that of a newborn puppy.
Therefore, Kakashi decided to train together with Rockruff, as Mokgetsu mentioned before that Rockruff has great potential and with serious nurturing, it would become a great help.
"Rockruff, in a moment, you will run along with me. Don't stop until I stop, and run until you're out of energy," Kakashi said, squatting down to pat Rockruff on the head.
After considering for a long time, Kakashi finally named Rockruff after the rock on its neck.
