Chen-sensei wanted to give the Konoha Dragon God to him, and Mutsuki naturally wouldn't refuse. It's a good thing to clear up a high-level Taijutsu Mastery.
However, Mutsuki didn't choose to take it for free but opted to exchange Taijutsu. He gave Chen-sensei the scroll that recorded the Brick Break training method.
Exchanging a Taijutsu that Chen-sensei didn't know for one that he already mastered seemed a bit disadvantageous, but Mutsuki felt it was fine.
Firstly, Brick Break wasn't a crucial skill for him. Secondly, he could use this skill to prove his Ninja talent and create such an excellent Taijutsu. Additionally, clearing up the skill would expand his social circle.
"Yumi-sensei, what's the name of the Taijutsu you just used?" Guy asked as he walked over.
Seeing the Konoha Dragon God and Tiger-shaped Air Cannon battling just now, he was very excited because both fighters were his senseis, and he had the chance to learn both Taijutsu.
"Daytime Tiger, once your physical strength reaches the required standard, I will teach you this Taijutsu," Mutsuki replied with a smile.
Daytime Tiger has extremely high physical requirements, even higher than those for Konoha Dragon God, because it is a very typical power-based Taijutsu.
"My youth can't wait to burn even more fiercely," Guy couldn't help but cheer.
Genma and Ebisu looked on enviously. Having a good teacher is indeed great; you don't have to worry about high-level Taijutsu.
"That Taijutsu isn't something just anyone can learn. Mastering my Konoha Dragon God would be much easier," Chen-sensei said, noticing their expressions.
As a Taijutsu master, he could see the principles behind Daytime Tiger. It is not a Taijutsu that ordinary Ninjas can use.
"Let's start training quickly. After watching this battle, you should have a good idea of how far you are from being a true Ninja," Chen-sensei said.
"Yes!" Guy and the others answered in unison, then bade farewell to Mutsuki and began their training.
"We won't disturb you any longer," Mutsuki said with a warm smile as he bid them farewell.
"Goodbye, Sensei!" Obito waved excitedly at Chen-sensei.
Although a bit of time was wasted, Obito felt it was worth it. Not only did he see Taijutsu that Mutsuki had never used before, but he also got to experience a new Taijutsu that looked both impressive and powerful.
"What's with the 'Sensei'? Just call me Chen-sensei or Uncle Chen. Don't give me these strange nicknames," Chen-sensei said with a frown.
"Got it, Sensei," Obito replied with a grin.
Mutsuki gave Obito a light tap on the head and, with an apologetic smile, took him back to the Southern Forest to continue their training.
Upon returning to the Southern Forest, Obito scanned the area, looking for Kakashi to brag about the recent battle. Instead, he unexpectedly found Rin also there, sitting and chatting with Kakashi, so he went straight over to Rin.
"Rin-chan, you came here to train today too. How have you been resting these past few days?" Obito asked with concern.
Unlike them, who had encountered similar situations several times, this was Rin's first time leaving the village and facing such a crisis. Obito thought Rin might be under psychological pressure.
"Thank you for your concern, Obito. Actually, it's not a big problem. I've mainly been studying some theoretical medical knowledge at home these past few days," Rin said with a smile.
It's impossible for Rin not to have any feelings about encountering such a level of unexpected trouble on her first mission, but it won't affect her mindset. She spent two and a half days at home mainly to learn more medical knowledge and improve herself.
"It's good to hear that. Rin-chan, you don't know, but I just went with Yumi-sensei to see Guy's instructor, Chen-sensei, and Yumi-sensei had a battle with Chen-sensei. It was intense," Obito eagerly tried to describe the fight.
When describing the clash between Konoha Dragon God and Daytime Tiger, Obito even acted out being pushed backward by the impact to make the scene more vivid.
"Chen-sensei's Taijutsu, Konoha Dragon God, is like a giant green dragon, while Yumi-sensei's Daytime Tiger is a massive white tiger. Their attack waves can blow people away."
Clap, clap.
Rin smiled and applauded, saying, "That was really impressive."
"Hahaha, maybe I have a talent for acting," Obito said happily, having received Rin's praise.
"Chen-sensei truly deserves the title of Konoha's strongest Taijutsu Ninja. He immediately recognized the hidden potential in my body and agreed to teach me Konoha Dragon God." As he said this, Obito looked at Kakashi with a very proud expression.
Obito's expression made Kakashi want to speak up, and he said:
"I think what Rin-chan meant was that Yumi-sensei and Chen-sensei's battle was impressive, not that your storytelling and acting were impressive."
"Kakashi, what are you talking about? Yumi-sensei and Chen-sensei's battle was indeed impressive, but my storytelling and acting were pretty good too, right?"
Obito thought Kakashi was jealous of his talent, so he looked at Rin.
"Yes, Obito's performance was very attentive and diligent," Rin said with a gentle smile.
"See, it must be your jealous and twisted heart affecting your judgment, Kakashi," Obito felt even more confident hearing Rin's words.
Kakashi smiled without speaking. While Obito did put in a lot of effort, the results were another matter.
Feeling that he had rested enough, Kakashi resumed his practice of Breathing Technique Constant.
Although he wanted to chat more with Rin, seeing Kakashi practicing made him restless, so he immediately threw himself into Breathing Technique practice as well.
Just as Rin was about to continue improving her Medical Ninjutsu skills, Mutsuki stopped instructing Shisui and walked over to her, saying:
"Rin-chan, today you'll start training in Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation and Chakra Shape Change."
Rin's natural Chakra attribute is water, and her Ninjutsu talent isn't as difficult to describe as Guy's. Learning Water Release Ninjutsu was bound to happen sooner or later.
Previously, Mutsuki hadn't taught it because it wasn't necessary, as it would waste time and be meaningless.
Rin's Chakra was the least among his students, and as a medical Ninja, she needed to reserve some Chakra for using Ninjutsu. Enhanced Strength also consumed a lot of Chakra, leaving none for other Ninjutsu.
So at that time, it was more beneficial for Rin to focus on physical training to improve her Taijutsu experience or work on Chakra Control to advance her Medical Ninjutsu rather than practicing Water Release.
Now, the situation has changed. First, he is developing Water Breathing, and second, Rin's Chakra is gradually increasing with age and training.
For Water Breathing, Mutsuki conservatively estimates that it will take about a year to complete the development. However, it's not feasible to wait until Water Breathing is ready before learning Water Release, as it would be difficult to use it effectively in combat.
To help Rin keep up with Obito and the others, Mutsuki has been trying his best. Since the development of Water Breathing takes too long, he used his experience from developing Water Breathing to create a basic Breathing Technique. This technique doesn't have any special abilities but enhances physical capabilities through breathing, with an enhancement level similar to Flame Breathing.
Mutsuki planned to teach Rin after a few days of testing, so that learning Water Breathing later would be much faster.
"Mm." Rin nodded obediently and then looked at Mutsuki.
Although it was about practicing Water Release Nature Transformation, Mutsuki had not yet taught her how to perform Water Nature Transformation, so she didn't know how to practice.
Mutsuki was aware of this and took Rin to the riverbank to start practicing Water Chakra Nature Transformation. Using Water Release is simpler and requires less Chakra where there is ample water.
Mutsuki had Rin scoop water from the river to feel it and then tell him her thoughts.
Water is different from fire; touching fire will burn you, which makes this process much easier.
"Damp, flowing, liquid," Rin thought for a moment and expressed her thoughts.
Mutsuki nodded and said, "Next, you just need to move forward in the direction you're feeling during Chakra Nature Transformation."
Afterward, Mutsuki demonstrated, and under his control, a column of water appeared on the calm river surface.
After demonstrating using the surrounding water, Mutsuki also showed how to create water using Chakra.
Rin learned very attentively. After watching Mutsuki's demonstration, she subconsciously tried to perform Chakra Nature Transformation as if she were Mutsuki.
Water is Rin's natural attribute, and with Mutsuki's high proficiency in Water Chakra Nature Transformation and his teaching skills, Rin's progress in Nature Transformation was impressive under multiple buffs.
In addition to Water Chakra Nature Transformation, Mutsuki also had Rin practice Chakra Shape Change, as many advanced Water Release techniques have high requirements for Chakra Shape Change.
In the evening, Mutsuki gathered all his students at home for dinner.
"This life is truly amazing," Obito said with a happy smile after eating heartily.
Although the training was exhausting, eating the meals cooked by Mutsuki after training was very satisfying, almost like a soul redemption.
"Eat more, rest well when you go back. Tomorrow, everyone except Rin-chan will undergo special training," Mutsuki said with a gentle smile.
"Do we need to do the exercises?" Obito asked with a serious expression, concerned about what mattered most to him.
"If you can complete them perfectly, then you won't need to," Mutsuki answered with a smile. Tomorrow is their last day of rest, so it's time to apply some pressure.
Obito:...
He felt that if he could complete Mutsuki's training, he would be more than capable of handling Jonin in a one-on-one fight.
Thinking about facing that terrifying exercise training again tomorrow, Obito turned his fear into appetite and ate even more vigorously.
"Kakashi also needs to participate this time. It's time for him to experience my suffering," Obito thought, finding some consolation in this.

"This time it's still a targeted training exercise. Go all out to attack the Shadow Clones to achieve victory," Mutsuki said after creating three Shadow Clones.
Since this is Kakashi's first time participating, Mutsuki explained the punishment mechanism of the training again.
"Then it's a race against time. Hit the Shadow Clones as quickly as possible," Kakashi thought to himself after hearing the rules.
Since it's a performance-based training, Kakashi naturally hoped to achieve a good result, and he didn't want to deal with too many problems.
If it were problems of Academy level, it wouldn't matter, but Mutsuki's problems aren't simple. Kakashi felt it was quite good to solve a few of them occasionally, but dealing with too many was a bit overwhelming.
Kakashi could handle around thirty problems in a single training session. With that amount, he would need to solve an average of four to five problems a day to complete them in a week, which would allow him to finish quickly during his training and rest periods.
"Start!"
"Thunder Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!"
Kakashi silently adjusted his breathing rhythm to concentrate it to the utmost limit.
As soon as Mutsuki shouted "Start," Kakashi immediately drew his White Fang short blade and charged at the Shadow Clone.
Training exercises are different from real combat. In real combat, one must be prepared for various emergencies and conserve stamina and Chakra, but the ten-minute time limit for this training clearly doesn't require that.
Kakashi used a large amount of Chakra for Lightning Release Nature Transformation and then burst with it in his lower body, suddenly increasing his speed and arriving in front of the Shadow Clone in the blink of an eye.
A flash of white light passed, cutting down a tree beside the Shadow Clone, but the Shadow Clone, which had quickly retreated and dodged, remained unharmed.
"Can they even react at such a speed? It seems that using my full strength in the usual way won't end the training quickly," Kakashi thought.
Because this was training, the Shadow Clones wouldn't attack him, so Kakashi had pushed his speed to the limit. Even so, he was still slightly short of hitting the Shadow Clone, leading him to conclude that normal full effort would not complete the training early.
Training was difficult, but it was within Kakashi's expectations. After all, even Obito, who progressed rapidly, found this training grueling, indicating its difficulty.
Kakashi then tried several more times and found that no matter how much he pushed his limits, he was always just short.
After three minutes of testing, Kakashi changed tactics. He threw a smoke bomb to conceal his position, then used a Shadow Clone to attract attention while his real self moved underground.
After engaging in close combat with the Shadow Clone for a while, Kakashi decisively revealed himself and used Purple Electricity. To ensure he hit Mutsuki, Kakashi caused the Purple Electricity to split into dozens of lightning bolts charging toward Mutsuki.
Mutsuki calmly dodged and created some distance from Kakashi's Shadow Clone, then joined his hands and expelled a large amount of lightning to block all of Kakashi's Purple Electricity.
"Ordinary tactics won't work either," Kakashi paused his attack, quickly reviewing the situation in his mind to gather more information.
Based on Mutsuki's performance, Kakashi judged that Mutsuki had definitely been aware of his real self hiding in the dark all along, as the series of actions was too smooth.
When the time reached nine minutes, Kakashi still hadn't hit a single Shadow Clone.
"This time it looks like completing it early is not possible. However, with this experience, I can come up with a targeted strategy after returning," Kakashi thought to himself. One minute was clearly not enough for him to organize an attack sufficient to hit the Shadow Clone.
During these nine minutes, Kakashi didn't just charge at the Shadow Clone aimlessly. He was trying to gather information.
From what Kakashi had gathered, the Shadow Clone was slightly faster than him and had much stronger Ninjutsu, making it impossible to win through Ninjutsu combat. Additionally, if he didn't use Ninjutsu, the Shadow Clone wouldn't use it either.
The second and third points supported each other. With such strong Ninjutsu from the Shadow Clone, if it were used freely, even doubling their strength wouldn't allow him to touch the Shadow Clone.
After ten minutes, Mutsuki reported the results.
"No one hit the Shadow Clone before ten minutes; all three of you get fifty questions."
"Ah, fifty again." The thought of facing that terror in the evening made Obito's eyes lose their luster.
Shisui took a few deep breaths. He also made a battle plan this time but was unsuccessful. Moreover, Shisui noticed that the Shadow Clones this time were faster than the previous ones.
"Everyone, work hard to complete the questions. This time there is no time limit. You can come to me for explanations in the evening," Mutsuki said with a smile.
This time, he reset the Shadow Clone's strength. As long as the students didn't break through or come up with a good combat strategy during the training, it would basically end automatically after ten minutes.
However, since most of the students had already graduated, Mutsuki removed the time limit, allowing the students to complete the questions at their own pace. The main purpose of doing the questions was not the questions themselves, but the thinking process generated and the knowledge Mutsuki would explain afterward.
"Great." Obito's dull eyes immediately regained some sparkle. No time limit meant no more of those annoying installment phases. Although installments had made things easier for him at times, the extra questions that appeared out of nowhere always felt like an incredibly evil existence.
After the afternoon training, considering it was the last day of rest for Obito and the others, Mutsuki decided to prepare a big meal for them, and he bought a lot of ingredients.
Coincidentally, an unexpected guest arrived in the evening.
"Haha, it's quite lively here. Looks like we arrived just in time," Jiraiya laughed heartily as he and Minato walked into Mutsuki's home.
With the war with Hidden Rock coming to a pause—though not a complete ceasefire, and without large-scale battles breaking out—Jiraiya had returned to Konoha for some rest.
"Minato-sensei, Uncle Toad, what brings you here?" Obito greeted Jiraiya.
"Uncle Frog? I'm the Toad Sage!" Jiraiya corrected him.
"Ahem, Toad Sage is a name for the reclusive world. A more widely known title is Sannin. I am the most handsome white-haired gentleman among the Three Sannin, Jiraiya!" Jiraiya made a grand self-introduction, noticing there were two unfamiliar kids present.
"Are you the Jiraiya-sama who is renowned alongside Tsunade-sama?" Rin asked with a surprised expression.
The Sannin are well-known in Konoha, and even newly graduated students like Rin know their names.
"Yes, the legendary Jiraiya-sama is indeed me!" Jiraiya puffed out his chest and spoke with pride.
Minato looked at Jiraiya, who was proudly introducing himself in front of the kids, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Shisui had a somewhat strange expression; this Sannin seemed a bit unreliable.
"You chose the perfect time. I was just about to prepare a sumptuous feast," Mutsuki said with a smile.
Jiraiya's visit was indeed timely. It had been a while since Mutsuki selected Mystical Palm Jutsu as a reward, and he could now use a perfectly normal reason to have Jiraiya connect him with Tsunade for consultation.
"A feast!" Jiraiya's eyes lit up. He declared it was the most wonderful thing he had heard in days. After all, it was Mutsuki's feast, which meant there would be plenty of delicious dishes.
Upon hearing Mutsuki's words, Minato immediately went to the kitchen to help.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was in the living room recounting his experiences of traveling across the ninja world to the kids.
"Uncle Toad, do you really have that much time? You've been traveling to so many countries," Obito expressed interest upon hearing Jiraiya talk about his travels.
Obito had only visited a few nearby small countries, and only briefly.
"I wasn't traveling the ninja world just for fun; there were very important matters involved, concerning the fate of the entire ninja world," Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and said.
Jiraiya had been searching for the prophesied child mentioned in the Great Toad Sage's predictions, and he would continue his journey after the war was completely over.
"What could be so important that it concerns the fate of the entire ninja world?" Obito looked at Jiraiya with suspicion. Although he knew Jiraiya was very powerful, it seemed exaggerated to say it involved the whole ninja world.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Besides, an idiot who can't even pronounce names properly could never be the prophesied child," Jiraiya said, laughing heartily.
If Jiraiya had to choose among his disciples who most resembled the prophesied child, his first choice would be Nagato, because Nagato had the legendary Six Paths Sage's Rinnegan. The second choice would be Minato, due to his exceptional ninja abilities.
"I'm not an idiot. The Elders of our Uchiha Clan say I'm a genius," Obito retorted.
Rin was right there, and Obito didn't want to be labeled as an idiot.
"They say only an idiot would get flustered when called an idiot and try to explain," Jiraiya added.
"I…" Obito had a conflicted expression, wanting to explain but holding back because of Jiraiya's comments.
"Hahaha, you're quite interesting, not like those Uchiha at all," Jiraiya said, enjoying how Obito looked like he wanted to speak but dared not. He had never met an Uchiha as innocent as Obito before and couldn't help but want to tease him.
Kakashi: …
What could he say? He could only think that Jiraiya's image in his mind continued to crumble.
Kakashi silently noted down Jiraiya's tactics to use against Obito in the future.
"Jiraiya-sama, can you tell me some things about Tsunade-sama?" Rin looked at Jiraiya with hopeful eyes.
Jiraiya thought for a moment and immediately recalled Tsunade's gambling addiction and tendency to skip out on bills. However, seeing Rin's hopeful face, he decided to mention some of Tsunade's positive traits instead.
"Here comes the chicken soup." Mutsuki brought a large pot of chicken soup to the dining table.
Next came various dishes, most of which were from Mutsuki's past life's major cuisines, with a few being local to the world of Naruto.
When dish after dish, each emitting an enticing aroma, was brought to the table, no one chatted anymore. They all swallowed and gazed longingly at the food on the table.
When Mutsuki brought out the final dish, a war without gunpowder broke out.
