"Fire Style: Small Fireball Jutsu!"
Hongdou completed the hand seal with a very standard movement, then concentrated the chakra in her throat to change its nature, and finally spit out a fireball the size of her head.
Looking at the flames leaving a charred trail on the ground, Hongdou smiled smugly.
"Hehe, it has to be me again. I will definitely take first place in Group C next time!" Hongdou said with a smile, putting her hands on her hips.
The steel iron next to him, which was only spitting out some small arcs, silently stopped practicing.
"Izumo, do you think Fire Style is easier to learn? It seems that those who learn Fire Style are quite fast." Gang Zitie said to Kanzuki Izumo who was practicing Water Style next to him.
Shen Yue Chu Yun nodded, and said seriously: "I think so, maybe Teacher Mu Yue is best at fire escape, so he teaches better than others."
Hongdou was unhappy and complained: "Is it difficult to admit that I am too good? No matter how much you slander my ability, it is true."
"It's difficult." Gang Zitie answered honestly.
If he had to sincerely praise Hongdou for her excellence, he would rather go against his cousin.
"In my mind, there is only one genius in Class 1, and that is Shisui. Since you have also learned Fire Release Ninjutsu, why don't you find a chance to challenge Shisui? If you win, I guarantee that the whole school will praise you as a genius." Kamatsuki Izumo instigated.
Kamijutsuki Izumo admitted that Red Bean had some strength, but compared to Shisui, this year's Red Bean might not necessarily win against last year's Shisui.
Although Shisui did not come to participate in the special training this year, Kanzuki Izumo felt that Shisui should receive more rigorous training in the family, learning family ninjutsu and so on, and his strength must be still increasing.
"Why don't you go? If you can win, I'll even call you brother." Hongdou was not fooled.
Honestly speaking, the fact that the whole school praised her as a genius did attract Hongdou a lot, but Hongdou was not stupid. She had seen Shisui fight. Shisui's fire escape a year ago was much stronger than hers now. It was impossible for him to win and he could only get beaten.
Shen Yue Chu Yun showed a regretful expression, feeling that Hong Dou had been fooled so many times that she had developed antibodies and could no longer be fooled by ordinary words.
"Everyone gather together." Mu Yue's voice sounded at this time.
When the students in the three groups heard Mu Yue's words, they quickly stopped practicing and moved closer to Mu Yue's body. Although it was almost time for the end of the get out of class, the students did not rest to prepare for after school but continued practicing.
"The Third Hokage heard that everyone was studying hard, so he planned to come over to watch and give guidance during the final exam." Mu Yue didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained the matter directly.
This is actually not something too new, because Sarutobi Hiruzen also came last year, but he is the Third Hokage after all, and he is very popular among students. This can be used to further enhance the students' motivation to practice.
"Mr. Mu Yue is still very respectful. The Hokage didn't come to the second special training last year."
"Maybe we should thank the teacher of that special training. If their performance hadn't been so bad, maybe Teacher Mu Yue wouldn't have been the special training teacher again."
After hearing this, the students first showed expressions of surprise, and then started complaining about the second special training in the previous school year.
At that time, Mu Yue was in charge of the internship program. In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he could also tap into other educational talents, so he selected several teachers who performed well in class to be responsible for special training.
There is no harm without comparison. After this second special training experience, the students have a deeper understanding of the strength of Mu Yue's teaching ability and that there are also gaps between teachers.
"Izumo, it looks like our chance is coming again!" Gang Zitie said solemnly to Shen Yue Izumo.
"Yes, it's been a year. Maybe Hokage has forgotten us. We need to leave a deeper impression." Kamijou Izumo nodded with a solemn expression.
In his opinion, this was a very important opportunity. If he and Gang Zitetsu could successfully impress the Hokage, they might be given important positions after graduation.
"But it seems that we don't have any other ninjutsu worth mentioning except the confuse enemy technique. However, the confuse enemy technique has already been used last time. What should we do?" A trace of worry appeared on Gang Zitie's face.
He also felt that this was a rare opportunity, but Gang Zitie couldn't think of how to express himself.
"Indeed, although the technique of confusing the enemy is excellent, it may not achieve good results the second time." Shen Yue Chu Yun looked thoughtful.
"Izumo, you have a lot of ideas, think about what to do quickly." Gang Zitie placed his hope on Shenyue Izumo, who always had good plans.
"I can't think of any good idea for now." Shen Yue Chu Yun shook his head and said, but he still came up with an idea that was not a good idea.
"We can put our heads together and ask for help from Brother Ebisu. If Brother Ebisu can't help, we can go to Brother Asuma."
Gang Zitie's eyes lit up, and he felt that what Shen Yue Chuyun said made sense.
Of course, they did not forget to invite their good brother Hongdou.
However, Hongdou was busy training to seize the first place in Group C and was not interested in their plan.
The two of them complained about Red Bean together, and then went to find Ebisu without giving Red Bean a chance to react.
For some reason, Ebisu felt something was wrong when he saw Gang Zitetsu and Kamijou Izumo looking at him expectantly.
"Brother Ebisu, we need your help!" Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Izumo said solemnly.
"Please teach us how to impress the Third Hokage."
Hearing this, Ebisu's mouth twitched. He recalled the memories of the special training in the previous school year. Rather than leaving an impression, Ebisu hoped that the third generation would forget the memories related to him.
"Well, why don't you follow the Hokage after the exam and challenge him. Use your best tricks to challenge the Hokage and let him see your determination as a ninja." Ebisu said after thinking for a while.
In order to avoid being tricked, Ebisu decided to strike first so that he would not be involved.
"As expected of you, Brother Ebisu!" Gang Zitie thought this was a good idea.
Kamijutsuki Izumo also nodded in agreement. Although it was a bit direct, sometimes a straight shot could have unexpected effects.
...
After practicing the second stage for a week, Obito finally understood what truly difficult training was like.
I am exhausted from training during the day, and have to do homework when I get home. Then I have to be woken up when I go to sleep at night. After I release the shadow clone in the morning, the fatigue from staying up late will return to my body.
If Obito were to describe how tired he was right now, it would be that he didn't even have the heart to talk to Nohara Rin during his break time, and would use this time to close his eyes and rest for a while.
Of course, it wasn't just Obito who was tired. Everyone else was equally exhausted physically and mentally. Apart from training and sleeping every day, they had no time to think about anything else.
The training intensity is high enough, but the effect is also very obvious if you stick to it. It cannot be guaranteed during sleep for the time being, but now when they are awake, the four disciples can basically maintain the breathing method continuously, which improves their training efficiency and makes their bodies more durable.
Perhaps due to being too tired, some kind of protective mechanism was triggered, and Obito completed the second stage of training without realizing it. On the Saturday of the second week, he successfully had a good night's sleep without interrupting the breathing method once.
On the same day, Kakashi also had a good sleep, while Shisui completed his goal on Sunday, and Might Guy completed it in the third week.
The main reason why Might Guy's progress is a little slow is that he majored in Eight Gates Ninjutsu for a period of time, which caused his proficiency in breathing techniques to fall behind.
And although they have all completed the second stage, not all of the disciples have reached the proficient level in breathing techniques. Only Kakashi and Obito have reached the proficient level in breathing techniques, while Shisui and Might Guy are still a little short.
This is because Kakashi and Obito's breathing technique limits are already high enough. One entered the transparent world in advance and the other half opened the markings. They were just a little short of proficiency before the regular training began, so they immediately reached the proficiency level after completing the uninterrupted breathing.
In fact, normally one has to complete the special training of Stage 3 to reach the proficient level. Stage 3 is an enhanced version of Stage 2. While maintaining your breathing for 24 hours, you also have to concentrate on your breathing in order to increase the upper limit of your breathing.
After the end of Phase 2, Mu Yue did not immediately start Phase 3 training, but temporarily resumed his daily normal training.
After all, they have been undergoing high-intensity training for almost a month, and the intensity of the Chunin Exam was also quite high, so they have to give Obito and the others a break.
"Shisui, can you fight me?" Kakashi challenged Shisui during the lunch break.
He had originally planned to challenge Shisui once he had recovered, but Mugetsu's regular training was so tiring that Kakashi didn't want to move after training and had no intention of fighting at all.
After temporarily resuming normal training for two days, Kakashi felt that his energy and spirit had reached its peak, so he immediately challenged Shisui.

Kakashi has never forgotten the three consecutive defeats, he lost to Might Guy, then lost to Obito and Shisui. He had never lost to his peers before, but now he lost three games in a row.
Those three failures made Kakashi doubt his life for a time, thinking that he was not a genius but just an ordinary ninja.
Now that he has regained his confidence, he has defeated Obito and Might Guy in the Chunin Exam. He only needs to defeat Shisui in the end, and then he will still be the invincible genius Kakashi of his age.
"No problem." Shisui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mu Yue and finally agreed.
He knew in his heart that his chances of winning were slim, but Shisui didn't want to be considered a coward who was afraid of failure by Mu Yue.
Mu Yue acted as the referee as usual, and the other disciples who were resting also came over to watch the show.
"Come on, Shisui, I'm rooting for you!" Obito hoped that Shisui could beat Kakashi up in front of Nohara Rin.
"What a youthful day, my dear friend. Let's have a competition after the battle!" Might Guy shouted with an excited look.
"Yes, but only rock-paper-scissors," Kakashi replied expressionlessly.
Might Guy's smile instantly fell. Although it was also a competition, how could rock-paper-scissors be compared with a fist-to-flesh fight.
"The battle begins!" Mu Yue announced after the two of them made their opposing seals.
"Breath of Fire, full concentration!"
"Breath of Thunder, full concentration!"
They both concentrated their breathing, allowing the breathing method to provide stronger power.
Shisui knew from the battle in the Chunin Exam that Kakashi was now very powerful, so he was very cautious.
Although Kakashi didn't know how much Shisui's strength had grown, Shisui's performance as a super genius made Kakashi dare not be careless.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Ball!"
Shisui quickly formed hand seals, concentrated his chakra, and spit out two huge fireballs at Kakashi.
Although the power of a single fireball has decreased, the coverage area is wider and the detection effect is better.
"Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!"
Kakashi did not use the high speed of Thunder Breathing to dodge, but instead used Earth escape to block both fireballs.
In fact, dodging consumes less energy and is a more cost-effective option, but Kakashi was worried that Shisui had some tricks up his sleeve that he didn't know about, so to be on the safe side he chose the Earth Flow Wall defense.
In this battle, Kakashi was at an intelligence disadvantage. Shisui knew all of his methods from watching the Chunin Exam, but Kakashi had no idea what new ninjutsu Shisui had mastered during this period.
If the opponent was Obito, Kakashi would not consider it so carefully, but facing Shisui who had an intelligence advantage, Kakashi felt it was better to be safe.
"Kakashi is definitely going to use his shadow clones to deceive us again." Obito complained when he saw the earth wall rising up on the field, blocking his view.
He had been tricked by Kakashi's shadow clone countless times, and he had gained a lot of experience from being tricked.
"Not necessarily. Kakashi didn't use Shadow Clone during the last Chunin Exam." Nohara Rin said.
"That's because he knows I'm too smart to fool me, so it's useless." Obito explained with a rather complacent look on his face.
Nohara Rin covered her mouth and chuckled without saying anything. In the battle with Obito, Kakashi did not use a shadow clone to deceive Obito, but Obito used the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb to burn the ground due to a misjudgment, so in a sense he was also deceived.
Unlike Obito and Nohara Rin who were paying attention to Kakashi, Might Guy was more concerned about Shisui. He was curious about how this genius who had never been defeated had grown.
In Might Guy's eyes, Shisui is also an absolute genius. When he was in the first grade, he had the ability to defeat the Genin. He practiced so hard but could never get a victory over Shisui.
"Teacher Mu Yue, who do you think will win?" Obito asked Mu Yue who was sitting next to him.
There should be no one who knows their strength better than Mu Yue.
"Just watch and you will know the answer soon, but you can be more confident in your current strength..." Mu Yue did not directly answer Obito's question, but gave a subtle hint.
Shisui is certainly a genius, and the fact that he has been the strongest disciple for such a long time at the youngest age is the best proof of that.
But Kakashi and the others' current strength is not just the result of hard training, but the strength they gained from fighting on the brink of life and death. The two life-and-death crises of the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Mist jonin brought about their transformation.
From Mu Yue's perspective, he can take action at any time to ensure the safety of his disciples. But it is different for his disciples. Mu Yue was not with them on those two occasions. From their perspective, those were real life-and-death crises.
