"Now that you've gotten started with the Breathing Technique, you can indeed speed up your progress with the Eight Gates," Mu Yue said with a nod.
Might Guy was still far from reaching Constant Concentration, so focusing on the Eight Gates for now would improve his strength more efficiently.
The Breathing Technique and the Eight Gates complemented one another. The Breathing Technique strengthened the body, and the stronger the body, the greater the Eight Gates' effects.
"I'm not calm enough in battle. I get impulsive easily," Obito said after giving it some thought.
With Mu Yue asking him directly, he was able to face his own shortcomings.
Obito knew about this flaw himself. It was why he had won fewer fights than he had lost throughout his sparring matches with Might Guy.
He got carried away easily, and once he did, any battle strategy went out the window, ultimately causing him to lose.
"Since you know that, you need to be more careful in battle from now on." Mu Yue rubbed Obito's hair.
Obito's performance truly was unstable, unpredictable as a ghost. Sometimes, he could pull off a victory even when he was at a disadvantage, but most of the time, he threw the fight away himself.
"I didn't understand your strength, Sensei, so I made an incorrect judgment," Kakashi said after thinking back over it.
Honestly, he felt that he had not performed badly in that unexpected encounter during the mission.
There had been nothing he could do about being restrained. In that situation, let alone himself, Kakashi felt that even a Konoha jonin would have suffered the same fate. Their opponent was clearly no ordinary jonin, and it had been a sneak attack. How was he supposed to block that? What could he have used to block it?
