[Name: Habu Mokgetsu]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 8000]
[Skills: Teaching, Fire Release: Headache, Mystical Palm Jutsu, Wind Release: Pressure, Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, Eight Gates…]
[Evaluation: You have mastered seven types of Chakra nature changes, and are proficient in Fire Release and Water Release. You could easily crush a regular Jonin in a match of power. Just keep increasing your Chakra to become stronger.]
Compared to the time right after last month's exam, there has been a significant increase in my stats.
This month's increase in Chakra is especially noticeable because of a training assignment.
When he crossed over, it was April. From April to May, the total increase in Chakra was one thousand, rising from four thousand three hundred to five thousand three hundred. Adding the five hundred Chakra from the early May exams, it was five thousand eight.
From the time the exam ended in early May to now, early June, it has increased significantly, jumping directly from five thousand eight hundred to eight thousand, a total increase of two thousand two hundred Chakra.
Once, Mokgetsu envied the Root Jonin's seven thousand Chakra, but in just the past two months, he surpassed it. Now he has one thousand points more than the Root Jonin.
However, Mokgetsu knows it will be difficult to maintain this rate of Chakra increase from June to July.
The sudden surge was due to the conclusion of Obito's training assignment, and currently, there are no new training assignments, nor are there any exams from June to July, with the finals taking place in mid-July.
Besides the delightful increase in Chakra, Mokgetsu also received a host of rewards such as mastery of Water Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, mastery of Fire Release: Headache, and proficiency in Yin Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, which greatly improved his hard strength. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have blue bars without skills.
Mastery of various attribute Chakra nature changes is what Mokgetsu most desires as a reward at the moment.
After mastering the nature changes of water and fire, not only has his output limit for corresponding attribute Ninjutsu increased, but Mokgetsu also feels that with a few years of effort, he might be able to develop the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai.
If he mastered the nature changes of all seven attributes, Mokgetsu doesn't dare imagine what he could develop—perhaps a Truth-Seeking Orb?
Mokgetsu thought about it and felt that it might still be impossible, as mastery is not the highest level. A higher level might be needed to create a Truth-Seeking Orb.
However, even if they can't create a Truth-Seeking Orb, various Kekkei Genkai should have the hope of being developed.
"Obito, Kakashi, it's so great that you both took first place," Nohara Rin said with a sweet smile, congratulating Obito and Kakashi.
They were both her good friends, and taking first place together was the best result.
"Hehe, thanks in part to your support from below, Rin." The scene he had fantasized about twenty days ago happened, and Obito felt incredibly excited, blushing as he thanked her.
It would have been better without Kakashi's name, Obito added to himself.
"Tied for first, it's like a draw," Might Guy pondered.
So far, all his battles with Kakashi had ended in losses, without winning any draws.
Seeing Obito tie with Kakashi in Ninjutsu triggered something in Might Guy's heart, making him want to fight Kakashi once more.
"Kakashi, to celebrate you taking first place, let's have a battle!" Might Guy, ever high in energy, exclaimed.
"I refuse. What kind of way is that to celebrate? There's no need to celebrate this kind of competition where you take first place," Kakashi refused Might Guy while subtly stepping on Obito.
Obito immediately wanted a verbal battle with Kakashi, but seeing Mokgetsu and Asuma approaching, he held back.
"Obito, did you hide your skills during the exam before, suddenly becoming so impressive?" Asuma joked, jogging up to pat Obito on the shoulder.
"Not at all, it's all thanks to learning from you, Asuma," Obito replied.
Back when he was practicing water-walking, he persevered with the example Asuma gave, as explained by Mokgetsu.
"Haha, I should be learning from you, with how well you're using Fire Release," Asuma laughed, putting an arm around Obito's neck, taking it as friendly praise.
"Teacher Mokgetsu," Nohara Rin, Obito, and Might Guy greeted Mokgetsu as he walked over from behind.
Since he often substituted for Class 4-2, Nohara Rin was also familiar with Mokgetsu.
"Well done," Mokgetsu smiled and encouraged them without saying much, soon leaving with Asuma.
He had actually reminded his three students not to reveal their relationship when others were present, just to show the typical teacher-student relationship at school.
Mokgetsu hadn't explained the reason, leaving it to his students' imagination.
Regardless, Mokgetsu felt it prudent to limit contact when others were around, as Obito was truly unreliable at this stage.
Before leaving, Mokgetsu assessed Kakashi.
[Name: Hatake Kakashi]
[Chakra: 2500]
[Potential: S]
[Evaluation: Suitable for cultivating Lightning Release and Earth Release, recommendation to take as a disciple]
Seeing Kakashi's profile, Mokgetsu was instantly tempted.
Having two thousand five hundred Chakra at eight years old is not common.
He had assessed many of the Chunin Teachers at Ninja School, with most of them around 1500-2500, meaning eight-year-old Kakashi had already surpassed many Chunin in terms of Chakra.
There would be plenty of Chakra provided if he took him as a student and raised his trust level.
Mokgetsu quickly dismissed this tempting idea, as Kakashi was not as easy to fool as Obito. Currently still a Chunin, why would he study under a Chunin teacher like him?
"Kakashi is only S-rated; without the Six Paths Bloodline, is S potential the maximum?" Mokgetsu pondered this other question.
Having assessed many people, he understood that potential doesn't equate to talent, otherwise, with the same S potential, how could Obito and Might Guy have such a huge disparity with Kakashi during their ninja school period?
In comparison to talent, Mokgetsu believed potential represented a person's possibilities.
Those with the Six Paths Bloodline family had greater possibilities, hence a higher potential, such as the Hyuga and Uchiha, Mokgetsu hadn't seen potential below A from them.
Even with such high potential, not everyone from the two clans was a Jonin; the two gate guards, rated B-, were later promoted to Special Jonin in the storyline.
After Mokgetsu and Asuma left, Obito and the others discussed and decided to go eat ramen to celebrate.
Because of winning first place, Obito generously treated them, saying he'd cover the ramen expenses.
But while eating ramen, Obito and Kakashi were sure to continue their arguments.
"Have you ever ranked first in the ninja school's year?" Kakashi asked calmly.
"Get back to me when you can consistently maintain year-first like me before graduation, then we can argue about winning or losing."
Obito couldn't respond, having never taken year-first and hadn't even achieved class-first.
Might Guy stopped eating, hit by the metaphorical attack, as he hadn't taken year-first either.
Meanwhile, Mokgetsu, who was teaching Asuma, experienced a system popup.
