Starting Tomorrow, I Will Fuse Wood Style

"Alright, that's all for today's training. Same time tomorrow!"

Yamato said in a calm tone on the training grounds, looking at Mo Chen who was panting heavily.

But if one listened closely, a slight tremor could be detected in his voice.

He's too monstrous!

Yamato had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it in his life.

His eyes were glazed over, utterly shocked.

In just one day, Mo Chen had rapidly grown from a civilian Ninja Academy graduate who only knew the Three Basic Jutsu.

He had now mastered the nature transformations of Earth Style and Water Style, and learned all B-rank and below Ninjutsu in Earth Style and Water Style that Yamato knew.

And this was even with Yamato deliberately holding back.

Mo Chen had only spent one morning truly learning Ninjutsu.

After a hearty lunch and digestion, Yamato began sparring with Mo Chen. He had originally just wanted Mo Chen to integrate what he learned that morning.

But during the actual spar, Yamato realized what a true genius and a monster looked like!

Mo Chen showed no signs of being a novice; he could skillfully execute everything he learned without any awkwardness.

Of course, it wasn't as if the entire afternoon was wasted.

After all, Mo Chen had never truly fought before, and he still needed to adapt and understand when to use which tactics.

Furthermore, he was only just starting out in terms of taijutsu.

However, at the beginning, Yamato could still suppress his strength to a level comparable to Mo Chen's to fight him.

But as time passed, the level of strength Yamato used grew higher and higher.

Until finally, while he still appeared calm on the surface, he was actually using his full strength just to barely maintain a slight advantage over Mo Chen.

In other words, with just Earth Style, Water Style, plus the improved taijutsu and combat experience from today, Mo Chen's strength could definitely reach the level of an elite chunin.

With a couple more trump cards, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a special jonin.

This rate of progress was absolutely unheard of, the fastest in ninja history.

Yamato didn't dare to show his shock and offered a few simple words of encouragement before quickly dismissing Mo Chen.

He needed to find a quiet place to be alone.

However, before he could act on this thought, an Anbu member soon approached him, stating that the Third Hokage wanted to see him.

Without needing to guess, Yamato knew the Third Hokage must want to understand Mo Chen's training situation.

As expected, as soon as Yamato arrived at the Hokage's Office, before he could even greet him, the Third Hokage eagerly asked, "How was Mo Chen's performance today?"

Hmm, his tone is very casual, as if he's just asking offhand.

Yamato pondered for a moment before cautiously replying, "Mo Chen's talent is the best I've ever seen. He can now skillfully control the nature transformations of Water Style and Earth Style."

"Although I used shadow clones to stack experience, even without that method, he wouldn't need more than a few days to reach his current level."

For some reason, whenever he recalled Mo Chen calling him "Teacher Yamato," Yamato felt an urge to protect him.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the Third Hokage, but if he told the truth, he worried the Third Hokage would place too much expectation on Mo Chen, causing him excessive pressure.

Then, Mo Chen would have to train himself to death to meet the Third Hokage's expectations?

By downplaying things, it was fine even if Mo Chen took a few days off.

Even so, the Third Hokage was so shocked that he stood up directly.

"He's already mastered two nature transformations?" The Third Hokage's pipe fell from his mouth, nearly burning his pants.

He murmured in amazement, "As expected of the Second Hokage..."

He quickly realized he almost let something slip and immediately changed the subject, "In that case, we'll start teaching him the method to integrate Wood Style tomorrow!"

Yamato was stunned and said somewhat anxiously, "Isn't that too fast? Third Lord, I'm not questioning your decision, but Mo Chen just graduated from the Ninja Academy and only started true ninja training today."

"I understand your concerns!" The Third Hokage waved his hand, put his pipe back in his mouth, and sat down again, his expression filled with sorrow. "But time waits for no one!"

"Naruto also passed Kakashi's test today and will officially start taking missions from tomorrow. Do you understand what that means?"

"Uzumaki... Naruto?" Yamato fell silent.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a taboo for anyone in Konoha.

The Third Hokage's expression reminded Yamato of the devastating disaster twelve years ago.

If the Nine-Tails went berserk again, even he would have difficulty stopping it, which further highlighted Mo Chen's importance.

He just didn't expect that Senior Kakashi would actually let them pass the test.

"Mo Chen's abilities are the best weapon to counter the Nine-Tails. He must be allowed to grow quickly; this is crucial for the entire Konoha."

The Third Hokage sighed, "I hope you understand that everything I'm doing is for the village, and I have no selfish intentions."

"I understand, Third Lord. I will begin teaching Mo Chen how to integrate Wood Style tomorrow!" Yamato replied with a heavy heart.

He had actually intended to train Mo Chen for a while longer, allowing him to cultivate the two nature transformations of Water Style and Earth Style to a higher level.

Not to mention being able to use S-rank forbidden jutsu, he at least needed to learn a few more A-rank escape jutsu, and completely step into the Jonin level in terms of strength, which would be more secure.

However, since the Third Hokage had already spoken, it was not up to him to decide.

Now, he could only hope that Mo Chen's astonishing talent could support such a leap in improvement.

On the other side, Mo Chen, having finished a day of training, was not tired at all; instead, he was full of energy.

This visible speed of getting stronger felt like cheating in a game or a girlfriend with a motor, making him incredibly exhilarated.

If possible, he wished he could train 24 hours a day and reach his limit in one go.

However, as a transmigrator, he also knew the importance of balancing work and rest, and could only forcibly suppress the urge in his heart.

On the street, as he rounded a corner, a figure suddenly bumped into him.

Mo Chen's body reflexively pushed forward, and soon a scream came from the other side, with four or five people colliding and rolling like gourds.

Mo Chen was actually startled, although he held back at the last moment.

But with his current strength, the other party would likely be crippled if not dead.

When he looked closely and recognized the other party's identity, he actually chuckled.

Aren't these the guys who helped him awaken his Sharingan yesterday? What a coincidence!

Mo Chen slowly walked up to the dazed Little Fatty and a few others who had been bumped, casting a large shadow over them.

"You guys have some nerve, bumping into me!"

Mo Chen crossed his arms, sneering, "With that bump, I almost lost half my life. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Little Fatty, having been hit by Mo Chen, found his injuries from yesterday, which hadn't fully healed, worsen.

After colliding with several companions, his entire body ached, and he felt like several of his bones had broken.

Hearing Mo Chen's words at this moment, his anger instantly surged.

These were the words he usually said to others, but today it was the other way around? It was simply a complete reversal!

"You bastard... Hiss! It hurts like hell! Let me see who this ignorant fool is, daring to speak to me like this... You..."

With the help of his companions, Little Fatty finally managed to sit up, and looked up. Seeing Mo Chen's smiling yet devilish expression, his face instantly turned pale.
