Bab 168: Chapter 168: Speedy Task Completion
"False Darkness has two learning difficulties. One is compressing the Lightning Release Chakra to ensure power, and the other is control ability. When needed for a wide range attack, you can split the lightning spear into multiple lightning bolts to ensure the attack range," Mutsuki demonstrated again and continued explaining.
"Compressing and splitting..." Kakashi wore a pensive expression. Then Mutsuki's words kept echoing in his mind. As Kakashi continued to contemplate, the memory of Mutsuki demonstrating False Darkness gradually morphed into Kakashi himself.
"I see now," Kakashi exclaimed with sudden realization.
Observing the rapid increase in proficiency level on Kakashi's panel for False Darkness, Mutsuki felt satisfied with the effectiveness of the enhanced teaching skills. Kakashi's proficiency level for False Darkness had soared to over twenty points in just a short while.
Next, Kakashi started practicing Ninjutsu on his own.
Following the memories in his mind, Kakashi formed hand seals step by step to perform the Ninjutsu.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Kakashi breathed out a lightning bolt that struck a tree not far ahead. However, unlike Mutsuki's lightning, which swept through a large area, Kakashi's lightning didn't even knock down a tree; it just left a charred spot where it hit.
Upon seeing his failure, Kakashi immediately began to reflect, recalling the steps of his Ninjutsu execution to identify where he went wrong.
"Compressing lightning isn't as simple as you might think. You need to become more familiar with that sensation," Mutsuki pointed out the mistake.
Explaining the principles and techniques of various Ninjutsu briefly might seem easy; for example, Rasengan involves highly compressed Chakra controlled into a continuously chaotic circular motion, and Raikiri simply sharpens the transformed lightning Chakra through morphological changes.
But in practice, it's not that straightforward. These techniques are not easy to master, much like mathematics, where a sensei might tell you that you only need to grasp certain formulas to solve a problem, but those formulas are challenging to master.
Mutsuki had Kakashi try again twice on his own before re-teaching him, focusing on the areas where Kakashi went wrong.
This teaching method was one that Mutsuki preferred; it allowed the student to learn with their own questions, so when he demonstrated again, Kakashi would pay more attention to his mistakes.
"So that's how it's solved," Kakashi nodded to himself, raising his evaluation of Mutsuki in his mind.
In terms of strength, Mutsuki was an excellent ninja, and in teaching, Mutsuki was also an extremely outstanding sensei.
Kakashi had been taught by many people, not just academy senseis, but also experienced several Jonin mentors, and even his father had taught him.
But in terms of teaching alone, Mutsuki really gave Kakashi a novel feeling; knowledge flowed continuously into his mind. Learning with Mutsuki seemed to make his mind more active.
'He really is a reliable sensei. Perhaps in the future, if I have problems with my training, I can ask him' Kakashi thought to himself.
[Disciple Hatake Kakashi's trust level has increased, current trust level is two.]
Mutsuki wasn't surprised by Kakashi's upgrade.
Trust level two isn't difficult; it's more like feeling that this person is pretty reliable. You can tell from his other three disciples, who all started at trust level two.
Trust levels get harder as they go up. The distance between trust level two and three might be even greater than between one and two, and three to four is even harder.
Mutsuki feels that Guy and Obito already trust him a lot, almost like the most trusted people outside of family. Despite this, they haven't reached trust level four, showing how difficult it is.
Kakashi's ability to reach level two is also a result of Mutsuki's design.
To raise trust, Mutsuki established an excellent character for himself: strong, good at cooking, and with unique insights into ninjas.
The next day, Mutsuki deliberately had Kakashi spar with Guy and Obito to foster mutual understanding but also to instill a sense of urgency in Kakashi.
Two former underachieving friends now aim to surpass this genius ninja, and Mutsuki doesn't believe Kakashi's inner world remains unaffected.
After the morning training session, Mutsuki took the students to continue their missions in the afternoon.
"Today, we'll do more missions than yesterday afternoon, aiming for ten in one go!" Obito, excited, declares as they approach the Hokage Tower.
"Are you an idiot? Even with half-hour missions, doing ten would take five hours," Kakashi responds with exasperation.
Some tasks can be completed quickly with strong connections, but labor-intensive tasks like garbage collection take at least an hour.
"It's not even two yet. Even if it takes five hours, it won't be past seven. That's not late," Obito feels confident in his goal.
"Take a moment to think with that rusty brain of yours. Can you finish each task in just half an hour? Plus, delivering the tasks also takes time," Kakashi's tone gradually becomes more aggressive.
"It's just a lack of confidence on your part. I can understand you, after all, I won all three tasks yesterday," Obito boasts triumphantly.
Yesterday's three consecutive victories were his weapon against Kakashi.
"Do you want to compete again today, Kakashi? Let's see who can complete more tasks first," Obito provokes, enjoying the feeling of winning against Kakashi.
"It seems I need to show you what a real ninja is like." Seeing Obito's audacity, Kakashi decided to teach him about the dangers of the ninja world.
"I can't miss out on this competition!" Guy also joins in.
"Alright then, today's goal is ten tasks. If we complete them, I'll treat everyone to my special homemade dishes," Mutsuki smiles, encouragingly.
If Obito and the others can really do ten tasks, then he has improved his chakra, and now Kakashi is also a disciple, so he will get an extra reward for completing the mission.
After arriving at the Hokage Tower, in order to save time delivering tasks, Mutsuki quickly accepted five mission requests at once.
"This team completes tasks so quickly. At this rate, there won't be any odd jobs left for them to do," the ninja who registered the tasks for Mutsuki exclaimed.
D-rank missions are the only tasks with no danger involved. Many odd jobs come with subsidies from Konoha or are directly issued by the Konoha authorities. For a normal team, one or two tasks a day would suffice, but for Mutsuki's team, which can complete seven tasks in one afternoon, it's simply too efficient.
"What if they come to pick up tasks later?"
"Let them wait and practice first. According to the rules, they are not yet allowed to do C-rank missions."
