Capítulo 17: Chapter 18: Mastery of Water Style Chakra Nature Transformation
The moment Mu Yue announced the start of the exam, Tobi quickly retreated, forming hand seals and preparing to cast ninjutsu.
He knew that Might Guy excelled in taijutsu, so naturally, he wouldn't try to engage him in close combat.
"Clone Jutsu!"
Poof, poof!!
After completing the technique, two identical clones of Tobi appeared beside him.
The three Tobis kept switching positions as they ran, attempting to confuse Might Guy.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
However, Might Guy's speed was faster than Tobi had expected. In the blink of an eye, he caught up and unleashed a lightning-fast spinning kick that dispersed the two clones, and Tobi's real body was knocked back over a meter.
"Such strength," Tobi thought as his arm trembled slightly. He had blocked the kick with his arm, but now it was aching.
Might Guy, sensing the advantage, moved forward and forced Tobi into close combat.
However, in a pure taijutsu battle, Tobi was no match for Might Guy and quickly found himself on the defensive.
"Who do you think will win?" the watching students began discussing the outcome of the fight.
"I think it's Might Guy. It looks like Tobi's about to lose," one student analyzed the situation.
"Maybe not. When Tobi fought Uchiha Tetsu before, he was at a disadvantage in taijutsu but eventually won with Fire Style," another student pointed out, believing Tobi had just not yet unleashed his full power.
After all, Tobi had won against the previously ranked number one, Uchiha Tetsu, which was an impressive record.
"Mu Yue, who do you think will win?" Kimura Shin asked suddenly.
"I think Might Guy will win," Mu Yue thought for a moment before answering.
"Yeah, even though Tobi has powerful Fire Style jutsu, the exam setting doesn't suit him," Kimura Shin agreed.
Mu Yue nodded. In truth, the two were closely matched in strength, but Tobi was like a mage with no close combat skills, unable to use ninjutsu without hand signs. In such a flat, open field, it would be difficult for him to defeat the high-speed warrior, Might Guy.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Might Guy seized an opening, and with another Leaf Whirlwind, he kicked Tobi flying.
"Might Guy wins," Mu Yue announced, declaring the final result.
The students who had believed Tobi would win couldn't help but facepalm. They felt that Tobi never failed to disappoint in this regard.
Just when they thought he was going to lose against Uchiha Tetsu, he won.
And just when they thought Tobi might win against Might Guy, he lost.
"Might Guy, you're amazing! How did you get so strong?" one of his classmates couldn't help but ask him about his training methods.
"How did I get strong? Well, I wake up at 5:30 a.m. to run around Konoha before class, then spend the evening practicing taijutsu on the wooden posts, and on weekends..." Might Guy thought for a moment about his daily routine before answering.
"Goodbye!" The student who had asked the question immediately became in awe after hearing about Might Guy's 5:30 a.m. routine. When he heard about the evening practice on the wooden posts, he didn't want to hear any more. He thought real ninjas couldn't possibly train like that every day.
"Are you alright, Tobi?" Rin approached and asked with concern.
Tobi patted the dust off his clothes and replied casually, "I'm fine. I just barely lost. I'll definitely win next time."
In front of the girl he liked, he made sure to act as if nothing was wrong.
But Rin wasn't so easily fooled. She grabbed Tobi's arm, rolled up his sleeve, and saw several bruises. She glared at him and said, "Do you think pretending to be fine will help? Your injuries won't heal just by acting tough. You need to go to the medical room and get treated."
Saying this, Rin dragged Tobi toward the medical room.
Tobi grumbled about being fine, but he didn't resist and followed her. His words might have been rebellious, but his body was honest.
The practical exam for the class ended after determining the top student. The next day, the exam would feature the top two students from each class in a final match to determine the overall first place for the year.
After the exam, Might Guy planned to thank Mu Yue and go home. He wanted to share the good news with his father, Might Duy. He could already imagine his father tearing up and shouting about youth.
However, Mu Yue didn't let Guy leave immediately. He asked him to follow, saying he had something to give him.
When they arrived at a secluded place, Mu Yue smiled and said, "Guy, congratulations on taking first place."
With that, Mu Yue handed him a small booklet.
"This is a taijutsu training manual I've been writing in my spare time. It also includes some ideas I have for further developing the Leaf Whirlwind technique. Consider it a gift for taking first place in your class."
Guy looked at the manual, but he also noticed something about Mu Yue's hands.
Mu Yue's hands appeared clean, but Guy's sharp eyes noticed faint traces of ink on his palm, as though it had been scrubbed but not completely cleaned off.
As Guy looked at the content inside, he quickly realized what had happened.
This wasn't something Mu Yue had casually written during his free time. He had clearly put a lot of effort into it, and even if Guy hadn't taken first place, Mu Yue would have given it to him for some other reason.
The ideas about further developing the Leaf Whirlwind felt like they were tailored specifically for him. Guy didn't believe for a second that Mu Yue hadn't spent considerable time thinking about it.
"Mu Yue-sensei, I will never disappoint your effort. I'll definitely become the strongest taijutsu ninja!" Guy said emotionally, tears welling up in his eyes.
Mu Yue took out a tissue to wipe away Guy's tears and patted his shoulder with a smile, saying, "It's wonderful that you think that way. For a teacher, there's no better reward than seeing a student grow stronger."
Mu Yue's expression was sincere as he spoke those words.
"Yes!" Guy nodded firmly, and at that moment, his resolve to become stronger was solidified even more.
Watching Guy walk away, Mu Yue looked at the system message, a smile appearing on his face.
[You gave your student a taijutsu training manual. Due to the student's immense gratitude, you received a huge reward: Mastery of Water Style Chakra Nature Transformation.]
[Your student Might Guy's trust level has increased, current trust level: 3.]
"Not bad," Mu Yue thought as he felt new memories flood his mind, feeling quite pleased.
Generally, the rewards returned for teaching were linked to what the student specialized in. For example, Tobi and Guy excelled in Fire Style, so their rewards often related to that. But there could also be surprises, and sometimes rewards would be unrelated to the student's strengths.
Compared to mastering a taijutsu technique, receiving mastery over a chakra element was much better. Mu Yue was very satisfied. If he accumulated more of these, perhaps he could even develop his own Bloodline Limit.
As for the trust level increase, that was an extra surprise.
Mu Yue felt that in the future, he would have to plan carefully when gifting high-quality items, making sure to fully ignite the emotions of his students. That way, the rewards were far more likely to be significant.
For instance, if he had just casually handed Guy the manual, he likely would have only received a small reward, such as a basic skill improvement. But by giving it to him when Guy had just won first place, letting him see the ink stains on Mu Yue's hands, and subtly building up the emotion, the effect was entirely different.
"When the exams are over tomorrow, the results should be out in a couple of days," Mu Yue thought, wondering if the system would reward him for his student's outstanding performance.
After all, with students performing so well, the teacher should be acknowledged as well.
