"Ye, you've done well in your task. This is what Lord Danzo asked me to give you," Heishui Seika handed two scrolls to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue took the scrolls and nodded indifferently. There was no need for too much communication among the root ninjas.
Heishui Seika did not say anything further. After handing over the scrolls, he quickly disappeared to avoid exposing Mu Yue's identity.
After sensing that Heishui Seika's presence was fading, Mu Yue returned to his room and opened the two scrolls.
One of the scrolls contained a fire-style ninjutsu: the Great Dragon Fire Technique (Karyū Endan).
The other scroll was a confirmation of Mu Yue's work and new instructions from Danzo.
Danzo first praised Mu Yue's task completion, stating that Mu Yue had fully utilized his initiative to integrate quickly into the decisions at the ninja academy, and he had done well. As a reward, Danzo presented a powerful fire-style ninjutsu.
Then, Danzo advised Mu Yue not to become complacent, and to continue developing at the academy with the same momentum. He also instructed Mu Yue to closely observe Uchiha Shisui and be mindful of other Uchiha students.
Finally, Danzo painted a grand picture for Mu Yue, saying that if he continued performing like this, he would help Mu Yue advance to the rank of Special Jonin and assign him an important role at the academy.
After reading it, Mu Yue set the scrolls on fire, turning them to ashes.
"Special Jonin, an important role, hehe," Mu Yue chuckled.
If it had been the original host, he might have been energized by Danzo's rewards and promises, but Mu Yue...
The fire-style ninjutsu reward was just the Great Dragon Fire, which Mu Yue already knew, and he had no desire for a Special Jonin rank.
Thus, Mu Yue remained unshaken. He only found it amusing.
Mu Yue planned to continue practicing with his main body while his shadow clone read books. However, he soon realized that he had finished reading all the books related to ninjutsu in his house.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the Konoha library to borrow some books.
Konoha had a large library that contained various books and materials, including those on ninjutsu, which had been established during the Second Hokage's time.
Of course, the library only held D- and C-ranked basic ninjutsu; forbidden jutsu and higher-level ninjutsu were not found there. Furthermore, borrowing ninjutsu books was not cheap.
However, this didn't matter to Mu Yue, as he wasn't interested in borrowing ninjutsu scrolls. Instead, he sought materials related to sealing jutsu, specifically techniques related to restraining curse seals.
The ninjutsu learned from teaching was much faster than practicing it oneself, so Mu Yue wanted to see if he could find a way to remove the curse mark he had been given: the "Tongue Disaster Eradication Seal."
Although this curse mark wasn't as unpleasant as the Caged Bird Seal, having a curse mark placed on him by someone else still felt uncomfortable.
As Mu Yue walked down the streets of Konoha, looking at the busy crowds, he felt somewhat dazed.
It had been over half a month since he had transmigrated to the world of Naruto, and this was the first time his main body was out for a walk. Normally, he would send a shadow clone to buy groceries.
Due to his special identity and the dangers of this world, Mu Yue often felt a lack of security.
After being blessed with cheats for over half a month, with more ninjutsu and more chakra under his belt, Mu Yue felt a bit more confident. At least, he didn't feel as if he would die from an unknown AOE attack anymore.
When Mu Yue reached the library, he presented his ninja identification book to the on-duty ninja, which listed his basic information, including his name and ninja ID number.
The library was only open to ninjas.
The on-duty ninja glanced at the book and nodded, signaling Mu Yue to enter.
Just as Mu Yue was about to look for the materials, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him. It was a man with golden hair and a gentle smile on his face.
Sensing Mu Yue's gaze, Namikaze Minato also looked at him. The two nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then Mu Yue entered as Minato exited.
Name: Namikaze Minato
Chakra: 40,000
Potential: S
Evaluation: Can easily kill Jonin, even a second glance could cause an explosion.
Mu Yue's expression remained unchanged, but inside, he was astonished.
This was the first time he had seen someone with chakra over 10,000—let alone 40,000, which was equivalent to eighty six-year-old Shisuis.
The evaluation was also startling, implying that Minato could kill Jonin effortlessly.
At this point, Minato didn't yet have his iconic "Yellow Flash" title. In the eyes of the public, he was just a very powerful Jonin, with his mentor Jiraiya being the more famous one and one of the candidates for Hokage.
However, Mu Yue thought about it and realized that Minato's evaluation wasn't wrong. With his mastery of the Flying Thunder God technique, killing ordinary Jonin would indeed be easy for him.
A ninja with such speed was incredibly strong, capable of dominating weaker opponents without effort.
"If only Minato had a son in the Jonin Academy," Mu Yue thought regretfully. That way, he could find a way to get closer to Minato.
The truth was, Mu Yue wanted to befriend Minato because of his excellent sealing techniques. Mu Yue was quite interested in Minato's expertise in this area.
Curse marks were essentially a branch of sealing jutsu.
If Mu Yue could have Minato as a sealing expert advisor, removing the Tongue Disaster Eradication Seal would be much easier.
As for Kushina, being a jinchuriki made her identity too sensitive, so Mu Yue didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.
Mu Yue borrowed two books related to sealing techniques and three irrelevant books. After completing the registration and payment, he left the library.
In the Konoha South Mirror Forest, Mu Yue was leading his disciples in preparation for their upcoming exams.
"You two haven't forgotten your promises, right? You must pass tomorrow's theory exam," Mu Yue reminded Obito and Guy.
"Of course! If we fail, we'll accept any punishment from Mu Yue-sensei," Obito said confidently.
Although they had spent most of their time practicing ninjutsu, occasionally doing theoretical work or completing test papers, Obito had scored 30 points on a mock test.
Based on his previous experience, he was confident that this score would be more than enough to pass, as the passing mark was usually around fifty.
"That's right! If you fail, you'll have to run around Konoha 800 times!" Guy shouted energetically. He had also scored 30 points.
"Not only must the theory be passed, but I aim to take first place in practical exams!" After receiving Mu Yue's guidance for over half a month, Obito felt that he had improved enough to outperform his past self.
"I won't give up the first place so easily," Guy said, challenging him.
Mu Yue smiled but didn't respond. However, knowing the overall strength of the fourth-grade students, he was aware that both Obito and Guy might not secure first place. There was a student from the Hyuga clan with considerable strength.
Although this student's potential was only rated A, Obito and Guy had yet to realize their full potential—Obito hadn't unlocked his Sharingan, and Guy hadn't mastered the Eight Gates technique.
But Mu Yue couldn't say much. There were always unexpected factors at play, especially at their current level.
Mu Yue glanced at Shisui, who was quietly reading. He was certain that Shisui's results would be overwhelmingly first in the entire grade, both in theory and practical exams.
If it were possible to compete across grades, Mu Yue thought that Shisui might even be first in the whole school.
"I wonder if the system will reward the teacher for their students' good exam results," Mu Yue speculated.
