[Apprentice Uchiha Obito training task complete, rewards received: Chakra +800, Breath of Flame (Master Level)]
The rewards were a bit less than Mokgetsu expected. Although the skills were at a master level, the Chakra was less.
The training duration this time was longer, and the progress was greater, but the Chakra reward was surprisingly less than when Might Guy took first place last time, by two hundred less.
"Is it because it's a repeated trigger?" Mokgetsu speculated in his heart.
Obito's training task is currently the only one with repeat content, all aimed at securing first place in the Ninja Academy grade.
Mokgetsu feels it might be the system's way to prevent him from exploiting the repeated tasks to gain large amounts of Chakra and skills. If the task is repeated further, the rewards might be even less.
Overall, however, Mokgetsu was satisfied with the rewards, and his Breath of Flame had reached the master level.
A wealth of memories from practicing the Breath of Flame emerged in Mokgetsu's mind.
When he previously reached the proficient level of Breath of Flame, Mokgetsu was aware of a bit of the effects after mastering it. This time he confirmed it, and it was even stronger than he knew.
Once in the Pattern State of Breath of Flame, Fire Release Ninjutsu is enhanced. All Fire Releases require no hand seals; as long as it's Fire Release, you can clap your hands and summon anything, greatly enhancing the Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes. The flame temperature is higher, allowing easier control and release of fire.
Furthermore, while the Pattern State of Breath of Flame may not offer as strong a defense as Breath of Rock, it does provide high flame resistance, making it difficult to be harmed by Fire Release.
Mokgetsu not only possesses master level in Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes but also a high proficiency in many Fire Release Ninjutsu. If he enters the Pattern State of Breath of Flame, he can transform into a nonstop Fire Release artillery.
Unfortunately, the patterns of the two Breathing Techniques cannot overlap; only one can be used at a time.
Mokgetsu glanced at his current status panel.
[Name: Habu Mokgetsu]
[Chakra: 19180]
[Skills: Breath of Flame (Master: 750/15000)...]
The Chakra was already nearing the twenty thousand mark, and about forty days had passed since the end of last summer's special training, with a total increase of 3,880 points.
However, with the exam reward to be settled in a couple of days, the total increase should be 4,600.
The increase was very high, the highest Chakra increase so far, due to several reasons. On the one hand, all the class rewards Mokgetsu刷刷刷 were in Chakra; on the other hand, the apprentices' returning master provided more Chakra, and Mokgetsu's own Chakra cap speeded up.
The disciples provided more Chakra due to age growth and gradual physical development and the enhanced effect of training by the Breathing Technique. Chakra, being a product of spiritual energy and physical capability, naturally increased, as did Mokgetsu's natural growth.
Until reaching a total of fifty thousand Chakra, Mokgetsu will largely focus on刷刷刷 for Chakra.
Fifty thousand Chakra should suffice, because without any waste, a thousand points of Chakra can make a Ninjutsu already quite formidable. With fifty thousand Chakra, even if a thousand points were used for each Ninjutsu, fifty Ninjutsu could be used.
"Haha, finally won, first place in the grade!" Obito couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After half a year of practicing with Mokgetsu, he, Uchiha Obito, finally took first place in the grade, taking a solid step towards becoming an excellent ninja.
"Obito, you really did great this time." Nohara Rin praised Obito as he walked back.
"Hehe, I did train seriously for so long, always losing to Guy was unacceptable." Obito didn't feign modesty and smiled, accepting Nohara Rin's praise.
"Obito, you are truly strong today." Might Guy gave Obito a thumbs up before being sent to the infirmary.
"You too, Guy." Obito also gave Might Guy a thumbs-up.
He genuinely admired Might Guy's battle spirit. Though his strength was superior this time, they each won one battle between the class and grade.
After the exam, except for the injured Might Guy who needed to recover, the apprentices went to the Southern Border Forest to continue their training.
"You performed very well this time, applying everything you learned effectively," Mokgetsu praised generously.
Once again receiving Mokgetsu's praise, Obito's smile became even brighter. He was extremely happy today.
"Thanks to you, Teacher Mokgetsu. When I become a ninja and start earning money, I'll definitely buy you a better pen." Obito said with a silly smile.
"Thinking like this means I didn't teach in vain," Mokgetsu responded with a gentle smile.
"Today I'll teach you a new B-level Fire Release Ninjutsu."
"A new jutsu?" Obito nodded with anticipation. Currently, the ninjutsu he knew were limited to the Great Fireball, Mighty Dragon Fire, and the Impatiens Fire.
"Although it's called new, it's actually not entirely new because it's an improved version of the Impatiens Fire Jutsu," Mokgetsu explained.
He planned to teach Obito the Impatiens Claw Red.
The Impatiens Claw Red involves techniques that combine Fire Release with ninja tools, making it very practical.
Of course, choosing today to teach was also because Obito was emotionally excited and grateful, making the rewards more likely to be boosted.
[You taught the apprentice Fire Release: Impatiens Claw Red, and due to the apprentice's immense gratitude, the reward was greatly boosted, receiving the Ninjutsu Fire Release: Dust Concealment Jutsu (Master Level)]
A vast memory of practicing Fire Release Ninjutsu appeared in Mokgetsu's mind.
The Dust Concealment Jutsu is somewhat like a Fire Release version of the Hidden Mist Jutsu, capable of spewing a large amount of hot dust to cover an area, obscuring the vision of those inside.
However, unlike the Hidden Mist Jutsu, the high-temperature dust of the Dust Concealment Jutsu itself causes considerable damage, while the Hidden Mist Jutsu merely disrupts vision.
Mokgetsu organized the memories in his mind and felt that this ninjutsu should perform well in actual combat.
Although this ninjutsu requires specific training, for instance, if Mokgetsu used this ninjutsu now, it would obstruct his own vision as well as others'.
Hidden Mist Ninja undergo specific training from a young age so that even in the Hidden Mist Jutsu, where they can't see, they rely on sound to determine locations.
With the foundation of the Impatiens Fire Jutsu, Obito learned the Impatiens Claw Red quickly and gained about a few dozen proficiency points after an afternoon.
After training, during dinner, Mokgetsu inquired with Minato about whether Konoha Village had places for crafting ninja tools independently.
"I don't think so, but if you pay, you should be able to discuss it with the owner," Minato pondered before answering.
"Are you looking to buy ninja tools, Mokgetsu? I can recommend a store with good quality tools," Minato asked enthusiastically.
"I'm not looking to buy ninja tools. I have a very exceptional student whose birthday is approaching, and I want to personally craft a ninja tool for him," Mokgetsu explained briefly.
A kind-hearted master should never forget to celebrate a disciple's birthday.
