After the Chunin Exams ended, the candidates returned to their respective daily routines.
Special training resumed as usual the next day.
Perhaps because of Obito and the others' achievements, many of the special training students became exceptionally hardworking.
Geniuses were nothing special, because Konoha had never lacked geniuses.
But Obito and Might Guy were different. It was like everyone had once struggled together, with Obito and Might Guy being a little better off than them. Then, after a year, Might Guy and Obito suddenly became millionaires.
Because they had watched them rise step by step from right beside them, they felt that even if they could not become as strong as Might Guy, they should not still be where they were now.
People like Asuma, who had a good relationship with Obito, were even more filled with fighting spirit, because they felt it more deeply.
Mu Yue was very pleased by this, because this had been the purpose of deliberately adjusting the schedule and giving them time off—to let these students see just how strong the most outstanding people their age had become.
According to Mu Yue's observations, S-rank rewards depended on the students' progress. The more the students learned, the more rewards he received.
The rest depended on skill level. For example, it was difficult for a perfect-level Fire Release to increase in proficiency, while proficient-level Lightning and Earth Release improved quickly.
Because of the teaching ability Mu Yue had demonstrated, genin like Nara Shiomizu obediently continued accepting special training.
What surprised Nara Shiomizu was that aside from being highly skilled in all five major attributes, Mu Yue was also quite capable with special Nature Transformations such as Yin Release. Although he could not teach the Shadow Secret Jutsu, he could still clear up some of Nara Shiomizu's questions
