[Disciple Might Guy's trust level increased, current trust level is four]
[You gifted the disciple a collection of Taijutsu training insights, disciple is extremely grateful and rewards you with a super critical hit, receiving the reward——Armament Aura (Perfect Level)]
The reward was slightly less compared to Shisui last time, but that's understandable; after all, Might Guy isn't from the Uchiha Clan, and he can't awaken eyes to increase his strength when emotions are high.
However, overall, Mokgetsu is still very satisfied; Might Guy's trust level is maxed out, and future Chakra gains will be quadrupled just like with Shisui, and they also gained a perfect-level skill.
The value of a perfect-level skill is very high. Sarutobi Hiruzen, for instance, regarding other things, Mokgetsu acknowledges his strength, but even with his vast skill library, Hiruzen has only one combined ninjutsu skill close to a perfect level.
And this perfect level skill turning out to be the essential Armament Aura of a powerful expert next door is even better.
Based on some localized system skills obtained so far, Mokgetsu speculates that the system references the skill's strength in the original world for localization.
Take the Breathing Technique from Demon Slayer, for example, without which one cannot fight demons, its importance speaks for itself, so after localization, Breathing Techniques are often at the Kinjutsu level.
Skills like Soru and Finger Gun, while decent locally, aren't very important, so after localization by the system, they're just considered excellent Taijutsu, not vital.
A flood of memories related to the cultivation of Armament Aura continuously rushes into Mokgetsu's mind, as if he had trained in this skill for decades in an instant.
After obtaining the training memories, Mokgetsu immediately realizes this is a super practical Yin Release Secret Jutsu.
After localization, Armament Aura belongs to Yin Release, and its strength is related to the user's mental strength and Chakra.
Beginner Armament Aura can be used as hardening, meaning using Yin Release nature transformation to create a black substance covering any part of the body, enhancing both defense and attack, or adding it to Kunai and Shuriken.
Proficiency allows the Armament Aura to be entwined and released; entwining wraps special Armament Chakra around limbs to enhance strength and can be used with hardening, and releasing is to unleash Armament's Yin Release Chakra directly, like Fire Release for fire and Water Release for water.
Attaining the master level of Armament Aura grants absolute control over aura on the body, focusing it on a point for extreme defense or attack.
As for perfect level, it comprehensively enhances aura quality; with enough Chakra, no jutsu can break it, and under aura's enhancement, a punch causes earth-shattering damage.
Recalling the usage of aura in his mind, Mokgetsu even feels that Might Guy could give it a try.
Although a secret technique, Armament Aura is of the forceful type with no delicate operation before mastery, and Mokgetsu feels that Guy won't have the talent to reach mastery, even with teaching.
Getting to the entry level is already a success; proficiency is a bonus. After all, when Might Guy opens the Eight Gates, Chakra is abundant, so he can just flood it with high-intensity Armament throughout his body, both durable and powerful.
"Even if it's only hardening, it's a significant enhancement," Mokgetsu thought to himself.
The main reason for not being able to use it after opening the Eight Gates is that Chakra is too violent and can't meet the usage standards of Ninjutsu.
But this Armament Aura secret technique, how to put it, isn't really a specific Ninjutsu; it's more a method of Chakra application.
Take the Nara Clan's Shadow Secret Techniques as an example; the core is Yin Release nature transformation, while Shadow Possession Jutsu, Shadow Sewing, Shadow Stabbing Jutsu are the specific Ninjutsu.
Mokgetsu doesn't need Might Guy to use aura as a jutsu, just for him to use hardening is sufficient.
However, Mokgetsu isn't certain of success yet, since no experimentation has been done, though he feels there's a chance.
After everyone finished giving gifts, it was time for cake blowing and wishing, among other rituals.
"My birthday is February 10th, which is just over a month away. Everyone, come by then," Obito reminded them with a goofy grin while eating cake.
"It's still Guy's birthday now; Obito, you're too eager," Nohara Rin said, a bit helplessly.
Only Obito would announce his own birthday during someone else's celebration.
"Haha, seeing everyone so happy, I couldn't help but say it," Obito chuckled.
Obito is looking forward to it, as is Mokgetsu, considering opportunities to trigger hefty rewards don't come by often.
Getting rewards from Obito seems slightly easier than Might Guy for Mokgetsu.
Both aren't as lacking in elder love compared to Shisui, but there's a big difference because Might Guy has a father, while Obito has a grandmother.
Obito is eager to help others, but not indiscriminately; rather, he's the type that the better you treat him, the deeper his feelings for you.
Seeing Nohara Rin die in the original series and Obito turning into a complete psycho suggests this.
Nohara Rin started taking care of Obito before he even went to school; she was the one who brought his enrollment materials when he was late, and continued to look after him until her death in Uchiha Madara's scheme.
Therefore, for Obito's grand plan, Mokgetsu intends to show his seriousness about Obito's birthday from the start, with thoughtful gift preparation and meticulous care.
"Just don't be late for your own birthday," Kakashi said calmly.
"You're the one who'd be late for their own birthday," Obito retorted, then remembered he hadn't mentioned Kakashi's mission mishaps to Rin yet.
"Rin, let me tell you, don't let Kakashi being a Chunin fool you; while Guy and I are still intern ninjas, when it comes to missions, Kakashi is less reliable than us,"
"When we entered the Land of Rice Fields, we encountered enemies. I held off a strong enemy ninja, Guy was protecting the client, and only Kakashi was a burden to Teacher Mokgetsu, unable to move because he was controlled."
Seizing the opportunity, Obito went on a spree of slander, leaving Nohara Rin dumbfounded.
Kakashi's face darkened, as Obito never mentioned the skill level of the enemy who controlled him, claiming instead that the ninja he faced was strong.
Since Obito was sneaking in jabs, Kakashi wouldn't stay idle either, and recalled various details of the time to fervently attack back at Obito.
The room instantly became much livelier.
By the end, Kakashi and Obito were still vocally dissecting that battle, each trying to highlight the other's failures.
Meanwhile, Mokgetsu quietly went to the Southern Border Forest to experiment with his new ideas.
