Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"Teacher Mu Yue, is the belief you want to implement also to protect your companions?" Kakashi remembered what Mu Yue said to him on the first day he and Mu Yue met. A true ninja is one who implements his own beliefs.

Wait a minute

Chapter 176 C-Class to A-Class

The return trip was faster than the escort trip, as the carriage could not keep up with the ninja.

Mu Yue and others returned to Konoha in the afternoon.

"Everyone, please disband first. There will be no training or missions today. Take a half-day break and gather at the training ground on the 26th tomorrow morning." Mu Yue said.

In order to return to Konoha as soon as possible, Mu Yue led them to march at a very fast speed. Except for eating, they were basically rushing along the way.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to return to Konoha was not for anything else but to get Might Guy's gold coins. Oh no, it was to celebrate Might Guy's birthday.

Might Guy's birthday is January 1st. If Mu Yue doesn't speed up, he might just return to Konoha on January 1st, and the arrangements and preparations might be a bit hasty.

"Well, I'm finally back. It's so boring to be on the road all the time." Obito stretched and complained.

For him, being on the road all the time is a continuous running exercise.

"Kakashi, do you want to join in the backward running competition?" Might Guy was still full of energy. He grinned and gave Kakashi a thumbs up to invite him.

"Excuse me, but I'm a little tired." Kakashi refused directly, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

It’s not that he was too tired from traveling, but he was mentally tired. Since the fierce battle that night, Kakashi had thought a lot.

Is Mu Yue an excellent ninja? It seems so. Putting aside his strength, we can see it from the attitude of the Third Hokage. Mu Yue said that he believed in the students' strength, so the Third Hokage gave them the authority to carry out C-level tasks.

Mu Yue once said that his idol was White Fang, that is, his father Hatake Sakumo.

Judging from Mu Yue's actions, they have similar beliefs and both believe that companions are important.

But if the lives of his companions were really more important than the mission, why did his father suffer so much criticism for saving his companions, and even the rescued people came out to criticize him?

For a moment, Kakashi really didn't understand who was at fault, his father, the village, or someone else...

If his father was wrong, why would he be admired by an outstanding ninja like Mu Yue? If his father was right, why did he end up like this?

"Kakashi, you just can't do it. You're tired like this, but I can still run around Konoha a hundred times!" Obito said arrogantly.

"No wonder you felt that way..."

Hearing Obito talking about the battle that night again, Kakashi was a little overwhelmed. He was only controlled by Troy for more than ten minutes that night, and he felt that Obito could hold on to this point and talk about it for more than ten weeks.

"One hundred laps, right? Come on and run. The loser will have to shut up and not speak for the whole day!" Kakashi said with a dark face.

Obito didn't expect Kakashi to agree. He just talked a few words because he saw that Kakashi didn't agree to Might Guy. It was actually very tiring to travel for such a long time, and Konoha was not small. Even if he just ran a hundred laps along the edge of the main city, it was very far.

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" Obito answered with a stiff upper lip. He felt uneasy but had to be tough in front of Kakashi.

"Can't I run upside down?" Might Guy scratched his head and felt a little regretful.

Mu Yue smiled with satisfaction when he saw that his disciples did not rest but rolled up, then turned and walked towards the Hokage Building.

After arriving at the Hokage Building, Mu Yue did not go to the mission hall, but went directly to the Hokage's office.

"Come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen said when he heard the knock on the door.

When the door opened, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up and asked with a smile:

"It's Mu Yue, what's going on?"

"Sir Sandaime, our team received a mission to escort a client to the Land of Rice a few days ago. After entering the Land of Rice, we encountered several ninjas dressed as Iwagakure ninjas..."

Mu Yue reported the unexpected events encountered during this mission to the Third Generation.

However, he concealed some details of the battle, such as the magnetic ninja and the ninjutsu he released.

According to Mu Yue's description, the enemy was a Jonin and seven Chunins, and Mu Yue and his team struggled to protect the client and won the victory.

"Before I killed them, those ninjas were still shouting that the Iwagakure would take revenge, but it is very suspicious that most of the members of the Iwagakure team only know Lightning Release." Mu Yue said.

"The Iwagakure ninja who uses Lightning Release..." Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into thought.

It does look like Kumogakure wants to intensify the war between Iwagakure and Konoha, but Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it a little more and wondered if it was Iwagakure pretending to be Kumogakure and wanted to intensify the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

It's not impossible. There are only a few people in Iwagakure who can use Lightning Release, but it's not zero.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly rejected this idea. Even if the enemy wanted to mislead through such a strategy, they would not send such a team of ninjas to fight against Mu Yue's class.

Because an ordinary class of four has no chance of defeating a team of one Jonin and seven Chunins.

"Here are the bodies of those ninjas, but because the battle was quite dangerous, two of the bodies have been burned beyond recognition by my fire escape." Mu Yue said.

For living people, Konoha can directly check their memories through the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan. For preserved dead people, professional researchers can also decipher some information about them, such as what kind of training they have received and what they usually practice.

Knowing this, Mu Yue deliberately killed Troy's body so that no information could be obtained from it.

"It's okay. As long as there are well-preserved bodies, we can determine which ninja village they belong to." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He could understand this. After all, it was a life-and-death battle. It was impossible to think about preserving all the other party's bodies.

"If this matter is as you guessed, then Mu Yue, you have made a great contribution by breaking the conspiracy of Kumogakure." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a satisfied smile.

He expected that Mu Yue could just make Kakashi a little more normal, but he didn't expect Mu Yue to give him a surprise.

Although this incident would not allow them to stop fighting with the Iwagakure Village and join forces to attack the Kumogakure Village, it could at least prevent the Iwagakure and Kumogakure from joining forces.

"Since we have encountered so many ninjas, a C-rank mission would not be appropriate." The third generation took out a form, quickly wrote down some words and stamped it.

"I have changed this commission to an A-level mission. In addition to the original 70,000 taels, the village will give another 730,000 taels as a mission bounty." Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the written form to Mu Yue and said.

The amount of an A-level task ranges from 150,000 taels to 1,000,000 taels, and an A-level task of 800,000 taels is already a top-level task.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama." Mu Yue smiled and thanked him.

"The sealing technique we agreed to leave was left with Minato. When you sent it over, you were on a mission and were seen by Minato, so Minato helped you put it away." Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded him.

A grateful smile appeared on Mu Yue's face again.

"Sure enough, the harder the task, the higher the reward." After leaving the Hokage Building, Mu Yue thought as he looked at the reward information on the system.

Chapter 177 Harvest

[Disciple Might Guy worked hard to complete the commissioned task and received a growth reward of 300 chakras. He was also given an additional 150 chakras by the teacher himself.]

[Disciple Uchiha Obito worked hard to complete the commissioned task and received a growth reward of 300 chakras. Under the guidance of the teacher himself, an additional chakra of 150 was awarded.]

[Disciple Hatake Kakashi worked hard to complete the commissioned task and received a growth reward of +300 chakra. Under the guidance of the teacher himself, an additional reward of +150 chakra was given.]

The total reward for the three disciples is 1,350 chakra points.

Although there are no additional bonuses such as ninjutsu, the amount of chakra is very good.

You should know that when Mu Yue first came here, his chakra limit was only over 4,000, and this mission directly increased the limit by more than 1,000.

Of course, if you only calculate the amount of chakra obtained, the benefits of doing D-level tasks frantically will actually be higher.

Mu Yue can earn 450 chakra points by completing ten D-level tasks a day, which can offset the income from this A-level task in three days.

There are some problems with doing D-level missions. First, students will not get any improvement. They are just doing the mission for the sake of doing it. Moreover, Konoha does not have that many D-level missions for them to do.

For this A-level mission, students can strengthen their physical fitness while traveling, and can perform various exercises when they stop. When they encounter ninja battles, they can gain combat experience and stimulate growth. Overall, it is more conducive to the growth of students' strength.

Mu Yue took a look at her current panel.

[Name: Hanyu Muyue]

[Chakra: 33200]

The chakra was increasing very quickly, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal of 50,000 chakras, because the rewards for his disciples completing the commissioned tasks alone provided about 2,000 chakras.

Mu Yue did not return to her own home, but went straight to Shuimen's house.

Mu Yue was lucky. Minato was not accompanying Kushina or going on a mission at this time, but was reading at home.

Seeing Mu Yue, Minato also remembered the sealing scroll and handed the saved scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue didn't just take the things and leave, but chatted with Minato for a while.

"Minato, you'd better be careful when you carry out overseas missions recently. You may encounter attacks from the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village." Mu Yue reminded with a serious face.

Mu Yue then told Minato about what happened on this mission and repeated what he had said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This mission isn't a secret mission, so there's no need to keep it secret.

"This kind of thing actually happened." Minato's face became a little serious.

This is not a trivial matter. If Konoha really thought that its ninjas were sniped by Iwagakure, then Konoha would definitely take the initiative to deploy more ninjas to join the war with Iwagakure, making the war more intense.

Mu Yue's experience on this mission also made Minato re-recognize Mu Yue's strength.

Before, Mu Yue was a Chunin teacher in the ninja school. Although he later became a Special Jonin, he became a Special Jonin because of his outstanding teaching ability. In Minato's impression, Mu Yue's strength was at the Chunin level.

Judging from the results of this mission, Mu Yue might not be weak in strength. The reason why he was not promoted to Jonin before might be because of insufficient merit or because he did not meet the requirements in other aspects.

Mu Yue's strength does not affect Minato and Mu Yue's friendship, but Minato still hopes that his friend will be stronger, because this is during the war, anything can happen, and it is easy for something to go wrong if you are not strong.

"I will be careful. Mu Yue, you should be careful too. Try not to accept any missions related to the Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Springs." Minato answered seriously.

These two small countries are where Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure fight, and they will become more and more dangerous as the war progresses.

Mu Yue smiled and nodded and left. He was not planning to go to such a dangerous place at the moment, but it was okay to wander around.

Mu Yue has a clear understanding of himself. His output limit is not low at the moment, but it is too short-lived. He can beat a Jonin as if it were his son, but facing strong men like the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage, he can only use the Breath of Thunder to escape.

The chakra limit is one issue, and another major issue is the speed of chakra recovery.

Mu Yue's chakra recovery speed does not match his chakra limit.

Mu Yue knew the reason, because his chakra limit was raised by the system through unknown means, which was different from normal practice.

Mu Yue's chakra capacity at this time is more than five times that of an ordinary jonin, but his current chakra recovery speed is at best slightly better than that of an ordinary jonin, and this is because he has been practicing breathing techniques.

This causes Mu Yue to suffer a loss in a protracted battle. When everyone's chakra is almost consumed and is being refined intensively, Mu Yue's recovery effect will be worse than others.

Of course, this problem is smaller than the chakra limit problem, because this situation rarely occurs during combat, and a higher limit is more important.

But it was a flaw after all, and Mu Yue really wanted to solve it successfully, so he thought of many ways.

For example, using Tsunade's idea, a sealing technique could be developed to store chakra, and then the chakra could be released when there is not enough chakra. Although this is only a temporary solution, it is still a good option. A similar option is to catch a tailed beast and stuff it into the body as a power bank, but current strength does not allow this.

If Mu Yue wants to cure the root cause, the only thing he can think of is changing his physique. If he has the Thousand Hands Physique or the Whirlpool Physique, then he won't have to worry about endurance if he has the Immortal Body.

However, the physical condition is too difficult. Hashirama's cells can easily destroy himself. It is difficult to find Senju disciples and Uzumaki disciples if you want to rely on the system to produce them, and there are no vacancies for disciples.

Mu Yue is now working towards a temporary solution because he happens to have a genius-level talent in sealing techniques.

After returning home, Mu Yue began to check the contents of the scroll.

What Mu Yue didn't expect was that this time Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprisingly generous and gave him three ninjutsu in one breath.

However, there are not three sealing techniques, there is also a wind-style ninjutsu. Sarutobi Hiruzen wrote the reason above. This wind-style ninjutsu has nothing to do with Mu Yue's performance in the ninja school, because Mu Yue's tutoring allowed Asuma to improve his strength, which was a special reward.

"Vacuum Ball, there will be one more advanced wind escape technique that I can use openly in the future." Mu Yue thought to himself as he looked at the name of the ninjutsu.

After all, it was free, so even if Mu Yue already knew how to do it, she felt like she had made a profit.

Mu Yue ignored the vacuum jade that he had already learned and looked at the remaining two sealing techniques.

"Fire Sealing Seal, Evil Sealing Seal." Mu Yue recited the names of the two sealing techniques, and some memories appeared in his mind.

He remembered that the Evil Sealing Seal was the sealing technique that Kakashi used to seal the curse seal on Sasuke. As for the Fire Sealing Seal, Mu Yue knew what type of sealing technique it was based on the name.

Konoha's sealing techniques are basically learned from the Uzumaki clan, and Mu Yue's knowledge of sealing techniques comes from Kushina. It can be said that he learned the purest Konoha sealing techniques. Mu Yue almost understood the principles of these two B-level sealing techniques after looking at them for a while.

The essence of the Sealing Evil Seal is to isolate the chakra that does not belong to the original body, and it is also a ninjutsu that seals chakra.

The Fire Sealing Seal is slightly different. It does not seal chakra, but it can seal the flames produced when the nature of chakra changes.

Before traveling through time, Mu Yue would occasionally wonder when watching anime why no one sealed ninjutsu into a sealing scroll and used it as ninjutsu.

After learning the sealing technique, he knew the difficulty of this operation. For example, if you use the fire seal to seal the fireball in the scroll, what you release is not a moving fireball, but a group of flames that are stationary. It is meaningless in actual combat.
