Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"Why is Obito's breathing technique progressing so much faster than mine?" Shisui reflected on this during his break.

Practicing at the same time and with the same teacher, his progress in breathing techniques always lagged behind Obito's.

Although Shisui couldn't directly see the proficiency through appraisal like Mu Yue, Shisui was also practicing Breathing of Fire after all, and he could clearly feel that the gap between him and Obito in Breathing of Fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Ever since he successfully got started, Shisui felt that he had not made much progress in breathing techniques.

If they were to fight now using only breathing techniques, Shisui was sure he would lose to Obito.

"Breathing of Fire, flame..." Shisui thought of the step of comprehending the breathing method. It was at that step that Obito's Breathing of Fire began to progress rapidly.

"In Obito's heart is the fire of a passion to help others, but what kind of fire do I have in my heart?" Shisui asked himself.

Of course, the breathing technique could not improve by doing good deeds. After all, it was the Breathing of Flame, not the Breathing of Merit. It was just that Obito's genuine enthusiasm for helping others was very high, which stimulated the improvement of the breathing technique.

Shisui seemed to know the reason why his breathing technique progressed so slowly, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what kind of fire he had in his heart, or if there was even a fire at all.

After arriving at 11:30, Shisui still couldn't figure it out. He quickly washed up and went to bed for tomorrow's training. However, perhaps because his mind was in a mess, he didn't fall asleep quickly. He fell asleep in a daze after 2 o'clock.

He woke up in the morning according to his biological clock and went to the forest to start practicing as usual.

Mu Yue did not disrupt his training plan today. As usual, he started with two and a half hours of Armament Haki training and then started breathing training.

"Training begins!" Seeing that Shisui and Obito were ready, Mu Yue announced the start of special training.

The two Mu Yueying clones rushed towards Shisui and Obito respectively.

In order not to interfere with each other, Shisui and Obito ran in two directions.

Shisui ran in the southern forest, which he was very familiar with, but he still had doubts about his own fire breathing.

I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t sleep well last night or if there’s something wrong with his mentality, but Shisui’s special training results today were even worse than the second time.

"Shisui has forty-six strokes, Obito has thirty-four."

Upon hearing the results, Shisui sighed, he knew his body best, he had felt it during the special training.

There was a gleam in Obito's eyes. Although it wasn't much, twice was still progress.

"Obito, start your training. Shisui, come here." Mu Yue said. He was very experienced in this kind of thing. Usually, there was something wrong with the mind and they needed to talk.

4k, more to come

Chapter 231 The Possibility of Breathing Method

"Sorry, Mr. Mu Yue, I'm not in a good mood today." Shisui said apologetically.

He felt that he was somewhat ungrateful to Mu Yue for her careful teaching.

Mu Yue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Everyone has bad days."

"But I see that you seem to have something on your mind. Can you tell me?" Mu Yue looked into Zhishui's eyes.

Looking into Mu Yue's eyes, Shisui could deeply feel Mu Yue's concern for him.

"Ever since I mastered the breathing technique, I haven't made much progress, but Obito doesn't seem to have this problem. So I thought carefully about the steps I took to comprehend the flames. It seems that I don't have the same passion in my heart as Obito."

Facing Mu Yue, Zhishui did not hide anything and told her what he had thought yesterday.

"Maybe I'm not suitable for the Breath of Fire."

Mu Yue placed her hand on Shisui's head, rubbed his hair, and then said with a smile:

"I'm quite sure you're suitable for practicing Breath of Fire."

Obito is so suitable for Breathing of Fire, but before he started, he was not much ahead of Shisui. At most, he was only ahead by more than ten points of proficiency. This is enough to show that Shisui's compatibility with Breathing of Fire is not low.

The reason why Obito is now nearly 90 points ahead in proficiency is due to many reasons. On the one hand, Obito's compatibility is indeed full. On the other hand, Obito can follow him out to do missions and engage in real battles, and his progress will be faster.

Mu Yue is not belittling Obito. At the beginning, the training efficiency of Shisui and Obito was really the difference between a genius and a loser. It might take Obito ten days or even more to achieve the results of Shisui's one day of learning ninjutsu.

In fact, when Shisui was first accepted as a disciple, he was not particularly strong. After all, he was only six years old and had only started training for a short time. But as he trained under Mu Yue, the gap between Shisui, Might Guy and Obito became larger and larger, and this situation continued for quite a long time.

Under this premise, it is actually easy to understand Shisui's feelings. His speed in practicing important forbidden techniques is not as fast as the last-place student who could be easily surpassed in the past, and his strength is also being slowly caught up.

Shisui is indeed relatively precocious, calmer and stronger than his peers, but he is still a six-year-old child. In Mu Yue's previous life, people of this age usually just started first grade. It is normal for him to doubt himself in this situation.

When it comes to breathing techniques, you must never doubt yourself. Once you doubt or deny yourself, the power of your breathing will weaken.

This is also the reason why Mu Yue feels that the breathing method has a bit of Yin Dun. This thing is really a bit idealistic and spiritual.

This is also the reason why Obito and Might Guy are always able to break through the breathing method in battle, because they both have strong confidence in themselves and their beliefs will not waver.

Fortunately, Mu Yue discovered it early enough, otherwise, with Obito's rapid progress, Shisui would definitely have become more distrustful of his own breathing method.

"Obito's enthusiasm is indeed strong enough, but there may be a fire burning in your heart." Mu Yue said earnestly.

"Shisui, don't you have anything you want to do? Don't you have a dream? Think about the dream in your heart."

"Dream..." Mu Yue's words made Shisui fall into memories.

Although he is an orphan, Shisui's life has never been poor.

Because his father was an outstanding jonin of the Uchiha clan, and his grandfather Uchiha Kagami almost became a high-ranking official of Konoha, and was a very famous elite jonin of Konoha. If Shisui wanted to just eat and wait for death, he could live a life of ease with the inheritance.

Obviously, Shisui did not choose to live a life of idleness and wait for death, he chose to become a genius ninja.

Shisui had heard many people talk about his grandfather, saying that his grandfather was a genius ninja who had strength that even the Second Hokage respected at a young age. Some said that his grandfather was the inheritor of the will of fire and dedicated his life to Konoha. Some said that his grandfather was a great Uchiha, and if it weren't for an accident, the situation of the Uchiha would have changed a lot.

The reason why he wanted to become a ninja had something to do with his grandfather.

After learning the history of the Uchiha clan and feeling the rejection of the Uchiha clan by the villagers of Konoha, Shisui decided to become a ninja like his grandfather and complete his unfinished work.

We all have two eyes and one nose, so why should we exclude the Uchiha? Shisui wants to change this situation.

"I want to change the current situation of Uchiha. We are all from Konoha and can live in harmony with each other!" Shisui raised his head and looked directly into Mu Yue's eyes and said.

"Isn't this great? Just work towards this goal. I can feel the fire burning in your heart." Mu Yue pointed her finger at Zhishui's chest and smiled.

"Shisui, you are a very kind and upright person. Remember how you feel right now and don't question your dreams."

Mu Yue didn't dare to say what the Shisui in the original work was like, but the Shisui he was referring to was currently very upright and kind, but these two characteristics were a bit restrained, not as straightforward as those shown by Obito.

"Do you think you can't achieve your dream?"

"No!" Shisui replied firmly.

In the past, he might have been a little hesitant. Could he really accomplish something that even his grandfather, whom everyone praised, couldn't accomplish?

But now Shisui would only give a positive answer, because he had the help of Mu Yue teacher.

"Concentrate on breathing, I'm going to attack!" Mu Yue suddenly said, then put two fingers together and hit Shisui.

Shisui immediately concentrated his breathing and dodged without even having time to open his Sharingan.

"Success..." Looking at the finger less than a centimeter away from him, Shisui showed a surprised expression.

Not long ago, he opened his Sharingan but still couldn't dodge Mu Yue's attack.

"Yes, you successfully dodged my attack, but this is not the time for special training. Dodging it won't reduce the number of questions." Mu Yue withdrew her hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay." Shisui's voice was still full of surprise.

He finally made a breakthrough in the breathing method, and he would be happy even if he had to do a hundred more questions.

Shisui thought about it and felt that one hundred questions seemed a bit too many, as those questions were not easy, so he would be happy if he added twenty more questions.

"The breathing method is not something that cannot be changed. If one day you have a better idea, you can change the breathing method. The one that suits you is the best, but you still have to be firm in your dreams and beliefs." Mu Yue said with a serious expression.

Shisui does have compatibility with Breathing of Fire, but it is hard to say whether it is the most suitable one. The breathing method has a lot of possibilities and can be changed according to one's own abilities.

"Thank you, Teacher Mu Yue, for your guidance. I will remain steadfast in my belief." Shisui engraved Mu Yue's words firmly in his mind and thanked Mu Yue.

"Go practice." Mu Yue said with a smile. After the talk therapy, the practice effect is usually very good.

Full of motivation, Shisui nodded and quickly threw himself into the training.

……

When it was February 20th, because four of the five disciples were still students in the ninja school and needed to take exams, Mu Yue simply gave them all a holiday, including Kakashi.

Mu Yue also went to the ninja school which she had not visited for a long time.

Ever since he started taking interns, his real body hasn't been to school.

Chapter 232 Shocking Facts

The first day back at school was a theoretical exam. Before the exam, students in the class who had not gone on internships curiously asked the interns about their internship experiences.

"Obito, what do trainee ninjas usually do? Are they the same as official ninjas?" A classmate asked Obito curiously.

"It should be about the same. I just do commissioned missions, and when I'm not doing missions, I train with my teacher." Obito recalled and answered.

"Although they are all commissioned missions, each one is different. I get to visit different countries and see different scenery."

Obito still likes going on missions. Although they encountered danger last time, they finally succeeded in overcoming the difficulties through their own efforts. The feeling of success after hard work is really a pleasure that goes from the feet to the head.

"He actually went abroad!" The students around him showed expressions of shock and envy.

Not to mention going abroad, they have never even left Konoha. They have stayed in Konoha since they were young.

"Interns can go abroad, but it's a pity I wasn't chosen."

"We're almost there too. In two months, after we pass the graduation exam, we'll be official ninjas."

The students around started discussing it. Some of them began to yearn for the ninja life after graduation because of Obito's words, while others were curious about what other countries were like.

"Which countries did you go to? What's the difference between foreign countries and the Fire Nation?" a student couldn't help but continue asking.

Before Obito could answer, Uchiha Tetsuka, who heard the discussion, expressed his doubts.

"Aren't internships limited to D-level missions? D-level missions are all village missions, not out-of-village ones. How can you possibly go abroad?"

He also participated in the internship, but the tasks he performed were all odd jobs, such as catching cats and picking up trash.

Hearing that Obito was visiting different countries to see the scenery, he seriously suspected that Obito was bragging, because the registered ninjas in the mission hall had said that the trainee team could only accept D-level missions.

"Yes, I also participated in the internship. We trainee ninjas can only do some odd jobs like picking up garbage and doing farm work." Another student who participated in the internship stood up and confirmed Uchiha Tetsuka's words.

The total number of interns in the fourth grade is thirty, with three to four students selected from each class. The number of interns in Class 2 of Grade 4 is four.

Seeing that the two interns in the class said facts that were contrary to Obito's, the other students looked at Obito with confusion, and some of them even looked at him with suspicion.

Although Obito's performance this school year was very talented, due to his performance in the previous three years, they believed that there was a possibility that he was bragging.

"Generally speaking, trainee teams can only do D-level missions." Obito did not get angry at his classmates' doubts, but nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Obito seemed to admit that he was bragging, Uchiha Tetsuka nodded secretly in his heart. Obito was not too confused, because he was not the only one in the class who participated in the internship.

"Then why did you say you were going abroad on a mission, Obito?" Some students who believed in Obito asked in confusion.

They originally wanted to hear Obito's explanation, but what he said was incomprehensible to them. Was he admitting that he was a liar?

"But we are not just any trainee team. The Sandaime Hokage saw that our team is exceptionally strong and specifically allowed us to take on C-rank missions."

As he said this, Obito couldn't help but smile proudly. This was a special permission granted by the Hokage, and it was their exclusive privilege.

Under normal circumstances he would definitely be unhappy if he was misunderstood, but this time Obito thought it was normal.

Because that is the fact, the trainee team is indeed not allowed to do missions above D-level. This is what the registered ninjas told them at the beginning. They are able to do C-level missions because their performance is so good that the Hokage believes they have the ability to do higher-level missions.

Obito thought this was reasonable. Their teacher was Mu Yue, who was countless times stronger than other teachers. He and Might Guy and Kakashi were also much stronger than their peers.

"Hokage-sama has given special permission!" The students in the classroom were shocked by Obito's words. This was the Hokage that everyone in Konoha aspired to be.

Uchiha Tetsuka was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect Obito to be so cruel. Even the Naruto franchise came out. This sounded even more fake than a trainee ninja going abroad on a mission.

Although he didn't agree with either of them in his heart, Uchiha Tetsuka had to admit that the two together sounded a bit true.

"How many C-rank missions have you completed, Obito? How many countries have you visited?" asked the students who believed in Obito curiously.

"We have been to two countries, once to the Land of Rice Fields and twice to the Land of Rivers. But if we really want to say how many C-level missions we have completed, we have not completed a single C-level mission." Obito answered honestly.
