Several disciples looked at each other, trying to read each other's thoughts from their expressions.
"I'll go back too." Kakashi said after a moment of silence.
It would take him too long to recover. If there were a sudden and drastic change on the battlefield and he was unable to fully recover by then, he might become a burden.
Kakashi thought that it would be better to return to Konoha to recuperate instead of staying in the tense battlefield. A good environment would allow him to recover faster, and when he was fully recovered he could continue to go back to the battlefield to perform his mission.
"Ah? Kakashi, you have to go back too." Obito scratched his hair with both hands.
He wanted to stay on the battlefield, but if Kakashi returned to Konoha, there would be no point in him staying on the battlefield.
Because he wanted to compete with Kakashi on the battlefield and surpass Kakashi in performance.
If Kakashi leaves, who will he compete with?
By then, no matter how well he performs, Kakashi can say he could have done better.
"I need to recuperate for three weeks. It would be more comfortable for me to return to Konoha. Resting on the battlefield will even restrict my movements." Kakashi replied calmly.
If there is a choice, it would definitely be better to return to Konoha. War is no joke.
"Teacher Mu Yue, is Xiaolin going back?" Obito thought for a while and asked Mu Yue.
Since Kakashi was not going to stay on the battlefield, Obito lost most of his interest in the battlefield. After all, with his current strength, he could not end the war, and it didn't make much difference whether he was there or not.
Obito is prepared to decide whether to stay or leave based on Nohara Rin's choice. If Nohara Rin decides to stay, he will also stay on the battlefield to protect Nohara Rin. If Nohara Rin returns to Konoha, then Obito will also choose to return to Konoha.
"I'll ask her later." Mu Yue replied.
Because of her gender, Nohara Rin was not recuperating in the same tent with Obito and the others. Since there were more disciples here, Mu Yue came to ask Obito and the others first.
"If Xiaolin goes back too, I will go back." Obito nodded.
If Nohara Rin also left, there would be no point for him to stay on this battlefield.
Kakashi glanced at Obito and felt speechless. He thought Obito was too indecisive.
"I want to stay on the battlefield." Shisui expressed his thoughts after careful consideration.
He had been the leader among the disciples for a long time, but after internship, as Obito and the others experienced various actual combats and their strength improved by leaps and bounds, Shisui was surpassed silently.
Shishui was very unwilling to accept this. He did not want to keep failing in the internal war among disciples. He wanted to regain the title of Mu Yue's strongest disciple.
Therefore, Shisui wanted to hone himself through this war and make up for the lack of practical experience.
After the ten-day rest period, Zhishui will take the initiative to ask Muyue to go out on a mission.
In addition to honing himself, Shisui has another idea, which is to complete more war missions to increase his qualifications.
He is just a Chunin now, and a genius Chunin is just a Chunin. Chunin cannot cause any waves among the Uchiha clan. If he wants his words to carry more weight after the clan meeting, he has to improve his ninja level, and the battlefield is a good place to make achievements.
"No problem." Mu Yue nodded and agreed.
Except for Might Guy who was forced to return to Konoha, Mu Yue would not stop anyone else from staying on the battlefield.
As for Might Guy, Mu Yue was mainly worried that something might happen that would force him to fight, causing Might Guy to fight with his injured body and leave him with incurable sequelae.
Although the Eight Gates is very powerful, it is also very dangerous, and Might Guy can also use Rock Breathing in a stacked manner.
Breathing techniques will not cause harm to the body under normal circumstances, but in extreme cases overdrawing strength can be very dangerous.
Then Mu Yue went to Nohara Lin and asked the same question.
"Are Kakashi and the others going back?" Nohara Lin did not answer Mu Yue's question immediately but asked about Kakashi and the others' situation first.
After Mu Yue told him the truth, Nohara Lin thought for a moment and gave the answer, "I want to go back to Konoha."
Nohara Rin's idea was very simple. Kakashi must have been seriously injured if he needed so long to recover. If she went back with him, she might be able to use her treatment to help Kakashi recover better. At the same time, she could also use this time to organize her recent gains and learn new knowledge from Tsunade.
After asking all the disciples, Mu Yue did not arrange for them to go back immediately. He planned to let them rest for a few days and then arrange for a shadow clone to send them back.
After all, they had just come back from the battlefield and were seriously injured. If they were to set off now, they would have to arrange for people to carry them all the way back, at least to allow them to recover some mobility.
Mu Yue didn't stay busy with his disciples for too long, and soon he went to complete the task assigned to him by Orochimaru.
Yamanaka Inoichi checked the memories of the deceased Mizunotsuki Kan and the five members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the arrangements of Kirigakure were basically exposed. Even if Kirigakure reacted quickly enough, it would be impossible to complete all the adjustments in an instant.
Mu Yue and his team's mission is to compete with Wuyin in speed and overturn all the places that Wuyin has no time to adjust to.
However, in this battle, Mu Yue did not use the methods he was really good at, but instead transformed into Mizunoe Han and used ice escape.
"Ice Escape: Violent Pheasant Mouth!"
Mu Yue created a huge ice bird as he waved his hand. The ice bird rushed towards Mu Yue at a high speed and froze all the mist hidden in its path.
The ice escape that he was performing now was not his own ice escape with a proficiency of 1,000 points, but Mizunotsuki Han's ice escape with a mastery of 3,600 points.
The gap between the two is much greater than the level of proficiency from entry level to mastery.
"Ice Release: Freezing Ray!"
Mu Yue used another freezing ray to freeze the person who dodged the ice bird's attack.
Although he transformed into Mizunotsuki Han, Mu Yue tried his best not to use the opponent's ice escape ninjutsu. He did not have the Sharingan, and it was a bit beyond common sense for him to copy ninjutsu directly with pure talent.
"What a powerful Ice Release! How could there be such a powerful Ice Release ninja among the Konoha ninjas!" The Kirigakure ninjas who were attacked were dumbfounded.
There is no saying that bloodline limits are unique to each ninja village. For example, both Sand Village and Kumo Village have magnetic ninjas, but they have never heard of ice ninjas other than Kirigakure, and that their strength is so powerful.
The Kirigakure ninja swallowed as he looked at his companions who were being frozen rapidly, "Why does it feel like this person's ice escape is even stronger than Lord Han's?"
In a sense, what he said was not wrong, because Mu Yue had more chakra than Mizunotsuki Han, so even if they had the same level of proficiency in property transformation, Mu Yue would be more powerful when using it.
Ice Escape is really good for beating weak enemies, and Mu Yue quickly froze all the Mist Hidden Guardians he was responsible for.
When Mu Yue went to the next location, he failed to catch Wuyin, and Wuyin shrank rapidly.
"Karotachi Yagura, he's a pretty good opponent." After taking into account everyone's battle results, Orochimaru's mouth corners slightly raised.
Although Karutagi Yagura reacted quickly enough, it was still a successful operation, effectively striking a blow to Kirigakure's forces on the east coast of the Land of Fire.
If there is no external influence, Karatachi Yagura will definitely be defeated as the two sides gain strength, and it will only be a matter of time before Orochimaru wins.
The other jonin in the meeting room also showed excitement. Winning the battle would also be of great benefit to them.
"From now on, Mu Yue-kun will serve as the deputy commander of the army." As the meeting was about to end, Orochimaru announced Mu Yue's new position in the army.
This was the decision made after the Konoha high-level officials responded.
However, this does not mean that Nara Shikaku's deputy commander will be withdrawn, but that they all serve as deputy commanders.
This is a fairly common thing in Konoha, with one main position and multiple deputy positions.
"Mu Yue, Jonin, congratulations." A Jonin who knew Mu Yue congratulated Mu Yue.
Although the commander of the ninja force is a temporary position during the war, he has an extraordinary status, which shows that Mu Yue is valued by the Konoha high-level officials.
Mu Yue responded modestly with a smile, without any fluctuations in her heart.
In his opinion, this was not an important matter, it just represented a signal that he could not return to Konoha in the near future.
At least the Kirigakure has to withdraw its troops before he can return to Konoha with the ninja troops.
Before serving as deputy commander, Mu Yue actually did not hold any position. There were many reasons why he was able to attend the small meeting held by Orochimaru, unlike other people who held important positions in the ninja army.
Mu Yue believed that there were two reasons for the change in position. One was that he had made great contributions, and the other was that Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind had changed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen may have initially planned to recall him back to Konoha once the situation on the battlefield improved, but now Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectation for him is to solve the Kirigakure problem.
Orochimaru called Mu Yue as before and walked with Mu Yue around the camp.
However, this time, Orochimaru did not chat about private matters with Mu Yue, but instead informed Mu Yue of the reward from the Konoha high-level officials for this encounter.
"If your three disciples pass the examination, they can become the youngest Jonin in the history of Konoha." Orochimaru looked at Mu Yue and said with a faint smile.
Konoha's requirements for jonin were too strict. No matter how talented one was, no one could be promoted to jonin at the age of ten.
Some people have enough strength but lack achievements, and a very small number meet both conditions but are still lacking in other aspects.
Mu Yue's eyes flickered. She was curious whether her disciples would get rewards if they became jonin. Genin and chunin had them, so it stands to reason that jonin should also get them.
"Based on my understanding of the examination, it should not be difficult for your three disciples, Mu Yue, to pass the examination." Orochimaru thought that Mu Yue was worried that his disciples would not be able to pass the test, so he spoke.
Both Obito and Kakashi have the strength to block one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Might Guy can even fight three at once with an explosive burst. It is basically a foregone conclusion after passing the assessment.
"Mr. Orochimaru, you overestimate them. Only one of them should be able to pass the test." Mu Yue smiled and shook her head.
There is no need to worry about Obito and the others' strength, but promotion to jonin is not just based on strength.
When considering other aspects, Obito and Might Guy may not be as good as experienced Chunins.
The only person who can pass the Jonin examination is Kakashi. Kakashi is a true hexagonal warrior who can do everything, but he is not persistent enough in fighting.
