บท 192: Chapter 192: Users of Shadow Clones
[Disciple Guy completed training mission and you received rewards: Chakra +2500, Morning Peacock (Mastery level), Daytime Tiger (Proficient level)]
Perhaps during this mission, Guy's strength improved significantly. Both the quantity of Chakra and skills received can be considered high-quality rewards.
Although Morning Peacock and Daytime Tiger are Taijutsu techniques that require enhanced physical abilities from the Eight Gates, he can learn them. This way, Guy can further develop more Eight Gates Taijutsu.
Mutsuki glanced at his own Chakra.
[Name: Mutsuki Yumi]
[Chakra: 36500]
It must be said, receiving such a sudden large reward feels great. In just the past eight days, he has taken another small step towards reaching fifty thousand Chakra.
Then Mutsuki glanced at Guy's newly triggered life mission.
[Life mission: On the path to becoming the strongest in Taijutsu]
[Main objective: Become a top-tier shinobi skilled in Taijutsu, whether it's in strength or fame, make all ninjas aware that not being proficient in Ninjutsu can still make one strong.]
[Mission progress: 0]
[Mission rewards: Depending on the completion progress and strength growth during the mission, settlements will be made every ten percent increase in progress.]
[Note 1: If Guy dies, the mission automatically fails.]
[Note 2: Life missions are extremely difficult, once confirmed, only upon completion can the next life mission be undertaken. Please choose carefully.]
[Note 3: The greater the difficulty, the higher the reward.]
Mutsuki directly accepted the mission, and Guy probably wouldn't trigger any other missions.
He felt Guy's mission was somewhat harder than Shisui's. What constitutes a top-tier shinobi? There's also no specified time frame.
He felt that the system's definition of top-tier shinobi probably didn't include the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Raikage, or Onoki. Although these Third Kages were strong, they were far inferior to Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Above them were the Six Paths brothers and fighters of Six Paths level like Otsutsuki Kaguya.
However, the greater the difficulty, the higher the reward. Mutsuki was quite looking forward to what rewards he would receive from the settlement of this life mission.
Functions that can only be unlocked at Trust Level Four should offer better rewards than training missions, right?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Mutsuki used Body Flicker Jutsu to appear beside Kakashi and began healing him with Mystical Palm Jutsu.
Mystical Palm Jutsu is a highly powerful Medical Ninjutsu that can treat both external and internal injuries. As green light entered Kakashi's body, he immediately felt much better.
At this moment, Kakashi couldn't care less about Mutsuki's mastery of advanced Medical Ninjutsu. His mind was filled with memories of Guy's kick that surpassed all limits.
Kakashi had thought that after that kick, at most, he would be at a significant disadvantage. He hadn't expected that Guy's kick would nearly knock him unconscious.
Without any flashy techniques, he had been defeated by sheer speed and strength.
This made Kakashi feel that his initial thoughts about combat were somewhat laughable.
His father was indeed right; Guy had tremendous potential, and now he had truly surpassed him.
He had defeated Hatake Kakashi, the genius ninja, in real combat.
As he flew backward, Kakashi recalled the scene of him effortlessly defeating Guy with a single move in the past. At that time, he also felt that Guy was overestimating himself, being ranked last and challenging him, the top. Now, it seemed he had underestimated Guy.
Being weak at one moment doesn't mean being weak forever, and being strong at one moment doesn't mean being strong forever.
"Guy, you've really grown stronger," Kakashi said with a hint of melancholy, sighing.
He had said these words a few months ago, when he witnessed Guy fighting with Chunins. Back then, he acknowledged Guy's progress as a stronger individual. Now, as a defeated opponent, he marveled at Guy's strength.
"Hahaha," Guy burst into laughter the moment he heard Kakashi's words, standing tall with pride.
He wasn't mocking Kakashi's failure; he was celebrating his own success.
After losing countless times, after countless days and nights of effort, he finally defeated this genius ninja whom he once considered his archenemy.
"Kakashi, keep training hard. From today onwards, I'll be waiting for you to catch up," Guy said as he walked up to Kakashi and extended his hand, wanting to help him up.
With Mutsuki's healing, Kakashi felt much better. He grasped Guy's hand and stood up.
"My dear friend, don't keep me waiting too long!" Guy flashed a wide grin, giving Kakashi a thumbs-up.
Even though he had defeated Kakashi, Guy had full confidence in him. He believed that Kakashi would catch up one day, and when that day comes, Guy will prepare even stronger techniques for the stronger Kakashi.
"Shisui, Obito, you two get ready to fight," Mutsuki said after finishing the treatment.
Both disciples nodded and walked to the arena, ready to begin their battle.
"Rin-chan, you've been practicing for quite some time. Come over and take a break to watch the fight," Mutsuki called out to Rin, who was practicing.
After all, since Obito's strength was considerably weaker, having Rin come over was like giving Obito a boost.
"Kakashi, are you alright?" Rin walked over and saw Kakashi looking pale, asking with concern.
"I'm fine," Kakashi shook his head in response.
Guy's kick was powerful, but Kakashi managed to withstand it with Chakra enhancement. Moreover, with Mutsuki's Mystical Palm Jutsu healing, there were basically no major issues. He just needed some rest to recover.
When he noticed Rin approaching, Obito immediately glanced at her, and upon seeing her showing concern for Kakashi, he inwardly criticized Kakashi in anger.
"Damn Kakashi, he must not have trained properly in normal times to be unable to handle a kick from Guy," Obito cursed Kakashi inwardly.
After criticizing Kakashi in his mind, Obito no longer glanced around with his peripheral vision but instead focused all his attention on Shisui.
Although he knew in his heart that there was a considerable gap in raw strength between himself and Shisui, and he was likely to lose, Obito didn't want to lose too embarrassingly in front of Rin. He wanted it to be the kind of match where both sides gave it their all before losing.
Moreover, Obito didn't feel like winning was impossible. If he could awaken his Sharingan during the fight and then break through the Breathing Technique, Shisui wouldn't be hard to deal with.
Shisui didn't have as many messy thoughts as Obito. He had only one thought in his mind: Yumi-sensei was watching, so he had to showcase his strength and win beautifully.
"The battle begins," Mutsuki announced.
Whoosh!
Obito immediately changed his breathing rhythm to enter Flame Breathing state and charged towards Shisui.
He wouldn't try to directly challenge Shisui in Taijutsu like he did with Guy, but with Shisui, it was worth a try. His Flame Breathing was a bit stronger, and he also had the advantage of height.
Having undergone long periods of combat training with Obito previously, Shisui was quite familiar with Obito's fighting habits. He instantly entered the Flame Breathing state and began to confront Obito in Taijutsu.
Bang! Bang!
Both sides continuously exchanged punches and kicks, with Obito having greater strength but Shisui being more agile. In the first wave of Taijutsu exchanges, neither of them gained the upper hand.
Kakashi watched with flickering eyes. Obito's Taijutsu was not weak, but he often lost to Kakashi primarily because of Kakashi's overwhelming combat experience.
However, the situation quickly changed. After assessing Obito's current level of Taijutsu, Shisui stopped probing and directly showcased his incredibly swift Body Flicker Jutsu, using his strong maneuverability to suppress Obito.
"So fast, I can't keep up," Obito looked around, searching for Shisui's figure. The fight wasn't limited to a specific area, and they had already moved beyond the open space into an area with many trees.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a large number of Shuriken were thrown towards Obito. Obito locked onto the direction of the Shuriken and immediately entered Total Concentration Breathing state, and with a few jumps, dodged the incoming Shuriken, then rushed toward the canopy of the tree from which the Shuriken were thrown.
Although Total Concentration Breathing consumed stamina, he felt that if he didn't use it now, he would end up losing in a daze.
However, Obito was more cautious this time. Instead of charging directly, he created a large amount of flames after approaching using the Flame Breathing ability.
Puff!
The Shadow Clone Shisui was burned by the flames and directly turned into smoke and dispersed.
Obito immediately turned around and kicked out with a spinning kick. With a puff sound, the Shisui that appeared behind him also turned into smoke and vanished.
Bang!
The real Shisui appeared, using Body Flicker Jutsu to rush toward Obito's side, delivering a heavy blow that sent Obito retreating several meters.
Obito's face darkened, feeling that those who toyed with people using Shadow Clones had a sinister heart, and the person who developed this Ninjutsu must be even more sinister.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!"
To prevent Shisui from pursuing him, Obito decisively pulled out four Kunai and used One Handed Seals to release Ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Instead of continuing to chase, Shisui used Fire Release Ninjutsu to exhale a huge fireball measuring up to four meters.
Boom! Boom!
After the collision between the flaming Kunais and the fireball, there was an explosion.
Normally, the power of Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson is supposed to be stronger than the Great Fireball Jutsu. However, Obito's version was tailored for speed, sacrificing some power. It only slightly halted the fireball's movement, but soon a slightly smaller fireball continued to smash toward Obito.
Obito glanced at Rin who was watching the battle and resolved not to dodge. He decided to expend Chakra to deal with the Great Fireball. He didn't want to fall into Shisui's rhythm again.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
As Obito retreated, he formed hand seals and exhaled a large fireball to counter the incoming Great Fireball.
Just as Obito was fully concentrated on how to defeat Shisui, he suddenly noticed that Rin had appeared next to the two large fireballs, seemingly about to be engulfed by them.
"How could Rin-chan...?" Obito instinctively wanted to warn Rin-chan to be careful, but he quickly realized that Shisui could use Genjutsu. Rin couldn't possibly be in the midst of their battle, especially while Mutsuki was watching.
When Obito realized, it was already too late. In the moment Obito lost consciousness, Shisui quietly approached Obito's side and pressed the Kunai against him.
"Ah, Genjutsu is too tricky. Why did it have to be Rin-chan?" Obito scratched his head, feeling extremely unwilling. He felt like he could still struggle a bit longer.
Shisui remained expressionless, saying nothing.
Obito thought his loss was accidental, but to Shisui, it seemed inevitable. First, he used the Body Flicker Jutsu tactic to wear Obito out, then he used Shadow Clones to deplete Obito's Chakra, making him even more nervous. In this state, Obito had almost no resistance to Genjutsu, and defeat was almost certain.
Smack! Mutsuki flashed to Obito's side and and gave him a love tap on his head, saying, "If you think Genjutsu is tricky, you can learn it too. But if you lose, you have to accept it."
"Hehe." Obito chuckled, rubbing the spot where he was tapped, then curiously asked:
"Yumi-sensei, is there really no way to deal with Genjutsu?" Mutsuki pondered for a moment before responding, "Of course there is. The essence of Genjutsu is to manipulate the opponent's Chakra and disrupt their senses. By disrupting Chakra, Genjutsu can be dispelled. This can be mastered through practice."
"But as Uchiha, once you activate the Sharingan, unless it's a Genjutsu with stronger visual power, ordinary Genjutsu is unlikely to pose a threat," Mutsuki told Obito, offering him a shortcut.
In the ninja world, Genjutsu without the Sharingan is destined not to reach its peak. The Sharingan's influence on Genjutsu is immense, almost like cheating. Non-Dojutsu Genjutsu can be dispelled independently, but Dojutsu Genjutsu requires assistance from others to be dispelled.
"Sharingan," Obito exclaimed with a longing expression.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan, Obito had undoubtedly heard plenty about the legend of the Sharingan. He had long fantasized about suddenly awakening it and defeating Kakashi. However, Obito still hadn't figured out how to activate the Sharingan. Logically, his strength should surpass Shisui's when it comes to activating the Sharingan, but he still hadn't awakened it.
Due to Kakashi being knocked out by Guy's punch earlier, Mutsuki extended the rest time, waiting until Kakashi had recovered before starting the battle between Kakashi and Shisui.
