Name: Hanyu Muyue Age: 18 Chakra: 8000 Skills: Teaching, Fire Release: Head Hard, Mystical Palm Technique, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, Eight Gates... Evaluation: You have mastered seven Chakra Nature Transformations and are proficient in Fire Release and Water Release. If it were merely a clash of techniques, an ordinary Jonin would be crushed by you. You only need to continue increasing your Chakra to become strong.
Compared to when last month's exam had just ended, his panel data had undergone another major surge.
Because of the Training Task this month, the increase in Chakra had been especially noticeable.
He had transmigrated in April. From April to May, his total Chakra increase had been one thousand, rising from 4,300 to 5,300. Including the five hundred Chakra from the exam at the beginning of May, it had reached 5,800.
From the end of the early May exam until now, at the beginning of June, the increase had been much greater. It had risen directly from 5,800 to 8,000, a total increase of 2,200 Chakra.
Mu Yue had once envied the Root Jonin's 7,000 Chakra. In just two months, he had already surpassed him. Now, he had one thousand more Chakra than that Root Jonin.
However, Mu Yue knew it would be difficult to maintain this rate of Chakra growth from June to July.
The reason it had risen so much at once was because Obito's Training Task had been settled. There was currently no new Training Task, and there would be no exams from June to July either. The Final Exam would be held in mid-July.
Besides the gratifying Chakra increase, Mu Yue had also obtained Mastery of Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation, mastery of Fire Release: Head Hard, proficiency in Yin Release Chakra Nature Transformation, and a series of other rewards.
These rewards greatly helped improve Mu Yue's actual combat strength. Otherwise, having only mana without any skills would be rather awkward.
Mastery of the Chakra Nature Transformations of various attributes was currently the reward Mu Yue wanted most.
After mastering Water and Fire Nature Transformation, not only had the upper limit of his corresponding Ninjutsu output increased, but Mu Yue felt that if he worked hard for a few years, he might even be able to develop the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai.
If he mastered all seven attribute Nature Transformations, Mu Yue did not dare imagine what he could develop. Could he knead a Truth-Seeking Orb by hand?
After thinking it over, Mu Yue felt that was probably still impossible. Mastery was not the highest level; there should be another level above it before handcrafting Truth-Seeking Orbs might become possible.
Still, even if he could not handcraft Truth-Seeking Orbs, he should have hope of developing various Kekkei Genkai.
"Obito, Kakashi, it's wonderful that you both got first place together." Nohara Rin smiled sweetly as she congratulated Obito and Kakashi.
They were both her good friends, so them winning first place together was the best outcome.
"Hehe, it was also thanks to you cheering us on from below, Rin." The scene Obito had fantasized about twenty days ago had come true. He was so excited that his face reddened slightly as he thanked her.
It would have been even better if Kakashi's name weren't there, Obito silently added.
"Tied for first place... so it counts as a draw." Might Guy wore a thoughtful expression.
So far, every battle between him and Kakashi had ended in defeat. He had never won or drawn.
Seeing Obito successfully tie Kakashi in Ninjutsu, Might Guy felt moved. He wanted to fight Kakashi once more.
"Kakashi, to celebrate you getting first place, let's have a battle!" Might Guy was a man of action.
"I refuse. Who celebrates like that? Getting first place in this kind of competition isn't worth celebrating anyway." While refusing Might Guy, Kakashi also took a jab at Obito.
Obito instantly wanted to have a battle of words with Kakashi, but he stopped when he saw Mu Yue and Asuma approaching.
"Obito, did you secretly hide your abilities during past exams? You suddenly became so strong." Asuma jogged over to Obito's side, patted his shoulder, and joked.
"Not at all. It's all thanks to learning from you, Asuma," Obito replied.
When he had been practicing Water Walking, he had only persevered because of the example Mu Yue had given him about Asuma.
"Haha, I'm the one who should learn from you. Your Fire Release looks quite impressive." Asuma took Obito's words as friendly flattery, then laughed and hooked an arm around Obito's neck.
"Mu Yue-sensei." Nohara Rin, Obito, and Might Guy greeted Mu Yue, who was walking over from behind.
Since he often substituted for Class 4-2, Nohara Rin was fairly familiar with Mu Yue as well.
"Not bad." Mu Yue smiled and encouraged them. He did not say much, quickly leaving with Asuma.
In truth, he had reminded his three disciples that when other people were around, they should not reveal their relationship. They only needed to act like teacher and students at the Ninja Academy.
Mu Yue had not explained why, leaving his disciples to fill in the blanks themselves.
Even so, Mu Yue felt it was better to have less contact when others were present. Obito at this stage was truly rather unreliable.
Before leaving, Mu Yue used Appraisal on Kakashi.
Name: Hatake Kakashi Chakra: 2500 Potential: S Evaluation: Suitable for training in Lightning Release and Earth Release. Recommended for discipleship.
Looking at Kakashi's panel, Mu Yue was instantly tempted.
Having 2,500 Chakra at eight years old was no trivial matter.
He had used Appraisal on all the Chunin Teachers at the Ninja Academy. Most of them had around 1,500 to 2,500 Chakra. In other words, eight-year-old Kakashi already surpassed many Chunin in Chakra.
If he took him as a disciple and raised his Trust Level, the Chakra Kakashi provided certainly would not be little.
Mu Yue quickly gave up on the tempting idea. Kakashi was not as easy to fool as Obito, and he was already a Chunin. Why would he study under a mere Chunin Teacher like Mu Yue?
"Kakashi is only S as well. Could it be that without a Six Paths Bloodline, the highest potential is only S?" Mu Yue thought of another question.
Having used Appraisal on many people already, he knew that potential was not the same as talent. Otherwise, with Obito and Might Guy both having S Potential, how could they have had such a huge gap from Kakashi during their Ninja Academy days?
Compared to talent, Mu Yue felt that potential represented a person's possibilities.
Those clans with Six Paths Bloodlines had greater possibilities, so their potential was comparatively higher. For example, Mu Yue had never seen anyone from the Hyuga or Uchiha clans with potential below A.
Even with such high potential, the two clans had not produced Jonin across the board. The two B- gatekeepers in the story had only advanced to Special Jonin.
After Mu Yue and Asuma left, Obito and the other three discussed it and ultimately chose to celebrate by eating ramen.
Because he had gotten first place, Obito generously offered to treat everyone, declaring that he would pay for the ramen.
However, while eating ramen, Obito and Kakashi inevitably began arguing again.
"Did you ever get first place in your grade at the Ninja Academy?" Kakashi asked blandly.
"Come argue with me about winning and losing after you can maintain first place in your grade until graduation, like I did."
Obito could not say anything. He truly had never gotten first place in his grade; he had not even gotten first place in his class.
Might Guy even stopped eating his noodles. Kakashi's indiscriminate attack had hit him too, because he had never gotten first place in his grade either.
At the same time, Mu Yue, who was teaching Asuma, received a system notification.
