Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

After studying for a while, he successfully learned how to make brushes.

Kakashi now has some understanding of brushes and knows that brushes with different hairs have their own advantages. After carefully looking at the calligraphy that Mu Yue gave him, Kakashi judged that Mu Yue should have used a goat-hair brush, so he made a goat-hair brush himself.

"If I give a brush as a gift, I feel like I might bump into other people." Kakashi thought to himself.

Since all the disciples knew about calligraphy, if they couldn't think of any special gifts, they would probably give something related to calligraphy. Kakashi thought that most people would give a brush.

Kakashi continued to delve into the details. It’s okay if there’s a collision. It’s nothing. It shows that everyone is very attentive.

……

The next day, Kakashi saw a golden figure on his way to the Southern Forest in the morning.

Kakashi thought it was Mu Yue, but when he got closer he found that it was Minato Namikaze who looked very similar to Mu Yue.

Kakashi originally wanted to say hello and then rush to the Southern Forest to practice, but he remembered that he said yesterday that Minato couldn't be asked on the battlefield, so he definitely couldn't let him go if he met him.

"Good morning, Minato-senpai." Kakashi Minato greeted.

"Good morning, Kakashi." Minato, who was buying breakfast, responded with a gentle smile.

Because he would be his student soon, Minato looked at Kakashi with a very kind look.

Kakashi noticed that Minato's attitude seemed to have changed, but he didn't pay much attention to it and asked directly:

"Senior Minato, what kind of gift do you think Teacher Mu Yue would like? The team is about to disband, and I want to give Teacher Mu Yue a gift."

Kakashi's words made Minato fall into thought. If he was giving Mu Yue a gift, it would either be his own experience in practicing sealing techniques, or he would simply give her a sealing technique.

But Kakashi was just a kid and definitely couldn't give him such a gift, so Minato tried hard to recall what Mu Yue had specific preferences.

After thinking for several minutes, Minato still couldn't figure it out. In his impression, Mu Yue didn't seem to have any clear preferences in other aspects.

"I think it's enough to convey your thoughts. Just give it to you as you wish." Minato finally replied.

Based on his understanding of Mu Yue, this should be enough.

"Sorry to bother you, Senior Minato. Thank you." Kakashi did not show any frustration even though he failed to get any useful information from Minato. He thanked him and went to the southern forest to practice.

He felt that what Minato said made sense. Since he really couldn't find it, there was no need to dwell on it.

Minato looked at Kakashi's departing figure and smiled.

He wondered if Kakashi would also take the trouble to prepare a gift for him in the future, and he looked forward to his future life as a mentor even more.

Although he was delayed for a while on the road, Kakashi set off early enough and sped up later, so he was not late, but was the last one to arrive.

"Kakashi, you don't value your training time. You should get up earlier and come to practice earlier." Obito immediately seized the opportunity to avenge being disturbed by Kakashi yesterday.

Kakashi glanced at Obito calmly and said, "I always get up early, but I ran into Minato-senpai on the way, so I wasted some time."

Obito subconsciously thought about how to continue to confront Kakashi, and suddenly found that Kakashi said that he met Minato Namikaze, so he quickly asked:

"Isn't Minato-senpai on the battlefield? How did you run into him?"

"The war on the front line has come to an end, so Minato came back to rest." Mu Yue answered Obito's question on behalf of Kakashi.

Only then did Obito remember that Mu Yue was right next to him, and that the thank-you party could not be discussed, so Obito gave Kakashi a look and stopped talking.

"Let's talk after we finish practicing."

Kakashi understood what Obito meant and didn't say anything else.

Mu Yue looked at this scene with some doubts in his heart, but he calmed down after saying a few words, which was unlike the style of Kakashi and Obito.

Mu Yue walked to Obito calmly, then asked with a smile: "Obito, Changzhong's training has been going on for quite some time. Do you feel that your breathing can last longer when you concentrate fully recently?"

"I don't feel anything special. Maybe it's because I haven't practiced enough at home. I've been busy lately and have other things to do at home." Obito answered honestly.

He thought his progress had not reached the level of Mu Yue's plan.

"But don't worry, Teacher Mu Yue. I am always very focused when I practice, and I will definitely practice more when I have time." Obito added.

Mu Yue patted Obito's head and said with a smile: "Of course I know that you practice very hard. As for your extracurricular time, it is your free time. You can use it according to your own ideas."

Then Mu Yue walked to the side of Might Guy, watched Might Guy's training for a while, and said:

"Akai, how's your training with the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu going? Do you feel like opening the third gate?"

Might Guy shook his head and replied, "I don't feel anything at all."

"Could it be because I've been slacking off on preparing gifts lately?" Might Guy couldn't help but think to himself.

Mu Yue asked this question, which usually means that the level that should be achieved has not been reached.

"Maybe I've been practicing less recently, so I'm going to double my practice today!" Might Guy shouted passionately.

"No need to be like that. I'm just asking. Just train according to my schedule during normal training time." Mu Yue smiled gently and patted Might Guy's shoulder.

"There's a problem." After asking Might Guy and Obito briefly, Mu Yue guessed that the disciples might be busy with something he didn't know after the training time was over, and were deliberately hiding it from him.

"Because I'm about to graduate, are they going to hold a celebration party and give me gifts or something?" Mu Yue guessed.

After all, the three disciples were all at trust level four. According to Mu Yue's observation, this level of trust almost meant they treated him as a relative.

Although Kakashi has not reached level four, he is also in a state of high trust.

With such a relationship and the fact that graduation was approaching, Mu Yue would naturally guess that they were planning a celebration party.

Although there are many psychopaths in the Naruto world, none of them are so crazy as to murder a teacher just for excitement after graduation, and his disciples are currently very normal.

Mu Yue didn’t think any more about it. He couldn’t apply the same caution he had towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo to his disciples, as that would be too tiring.

When the afternoon training began, Mu Yue stopped Shisui and Obito who were about to start, saying that there was new special training.

"Before, I was the one chasing you, but this time I'll give you a chance to fight back. I'll limit my speed to be similar to yours. You can use all means to attack my shadow clone, but the shadow clone won't attack you." Mu Yue stated the rules of the new special training.

This training is essentially the same as the previous one, but with a different focus. The previous one focused more on positioning, while this one focuses more on offensive ability.

"No topic?" Obito asked tentatively.

It sounded very similar to the previous special training and he was very worried that it would generate a large number of questions, which would affect his time to prepare gifts.

"Not yet." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

Mu Yue's plan originally had penalties for some questions. As long as you didn't hit the shadow clone, you would have to answer five questions in one minute. If you hit it, the question would be settled immediately, and the upper limit was ten minutes.

However, when Mu Yue realized that Obito and the others might be preparing for a graduation celebration, he temporarily changed his plans.

He has never been a rigid person, and he won't put too much pressure on his disciples if they need more free time.

"Great!" Obito cheered.

He simply ignored the temporary thought that special training without any questions is good special training.

Shisui also breathed a sigh of relief. Although his gift could be said to be ready to be given away, Shisui still wanted to strive for perfection and spend more time on the gift box. If there were too many questions, his energy would inevitably be dispersed.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Mu Yue formed a seal and created two shadow clones, which walked away from each other for a distance.

Shisui and Obito changed their breathing rhythm and entered a state of full concentration on breathing, absorbing large amounts of oxygen to strengthen themselves.

"Start!" Mu Yue shouted when she saw that both of them were ready.

Obito raised his fist and rushed towards Mu Yueying's clone.

Mu Yueying's clone did not run away, but stood there waiting for Obito's attack, then dodged Obito's straight punch by turning sideways.

Obito quickly swung his arm towards the shadow clone's head and kicked out with his left foot, but the shadow clone saw through these attacks and easily dodged Obito's punch and kick combo by stepping back.

Obito, unconvinced, activated his second magatama Sharingan, his eyes turned blood red, and he continued to attack.

Then Obito found it even more frustrating when the Sharingan was activated, because he could clearly sense that he was just a little bit away from hitting Mu Yue.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Obito directly formed hand seals and used ninjutsu because Mu Yue said they could use all means.

As he formed hand seals, a large amount of chakra gathered at Obito's throat, and then he spit out a large number of small fireballs and smashed them towards the shadow clone.

At the same time, Obito also started running at full speed, trying to seize the opportunity when Mu Yue dodged the ninjutsu and hit him.

However, Mu Yue was much calmer than he had imagined. He used the big trees in the southern forest to flexibly dissolve all the Fengxian Fire, making Obito's fire attack ineffective.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Shisui concentrated his chakra and then spit out a large amount of flames. The blazing orange-yellow flames quickly formed a two-meter-high fireball and smashed towards Mu Yue.

But this was not the end yet. Without forming any hand seals, Shisui spat out a fireball of similar size, and the two fireballs flew in different directions.

In fact, this can be called a powerful fireball. It can spit out two fireballs at a time in a short period of time. The power of a single fireball will decrease, but the coverage range will increase.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!" Mu Yueying's clone formed seals and used the Earth Escape. A thick earth wall rose up to block the two fireballs.

Shisui was slightly stunned, but he quickly remembered that the shadow clones just didn't attack them, and Mu Yue didn't say that the shadow clones couldn't use ninjutsu.

Shisui opened his Sharingan and started the next round of attack. After fighting with the shadow clone for five minutes, Shisui gained some hidden information.

Only when he uses ninjutsu to attack will the shadow clone have a chance to use ninjutsu to defend. If he does not use ninjutsu to attack, the shadow clone will not use ninjutsu even if the situation is critical. Once he almost touched the shadow clone, but the shadow clone still did not use any ninjutsu.

"Is this an exercise to train our grasp of combat timing?" Shisui had a guess in his mind.

If it is really as he guessed, then the timing of using ninjutsu is very important, and it must be done in a very subtle way.

The shadow clone must not be aware that it cannot dodge without using ninjutsu, and at the same time, it is necessary to have the ability to disrupt the shadow clone's movement.

Although Shisui had this idea, it was still difficult to put it into practice. Until the end of the ten-minute training, Shisui had not succeeded in hitting the shadow clone.

"Both of you have not hit a target for ten minutes." Mu Yue announced the results.

"It's so difficult. Isn't this equivalent to fighting a weakened version of you, teacher?" Obito said after thinking for a while.

"Even my shadow clones don't attack you. If it was a real fight, you would have been knocked down long ago." Mu Yue put two fingers together and knocked on Obito's head.

Obito's Sharingan was still open at this time, and he could only watch himself being hit, unable to dodge at all.

"The difficulty is not much harder than the last training. You can complete it if you make some breakthroughs. Think more when fighting." Mu Yue looked at Obito and reminded him.

Among his disciples, Kakashi has the strongest combat ability, followed by Shisui and Might Guy. Nohara Rin's data is insufficient to analyze, and Obito is basically at the bottom.

If all the abilities of the two were the same, Mu Yue felt that Obito had little chance of defeating Kakashi.

Kakashi has strong combat analysis capabilities and rich combat experience. Although he cannot compare to Obito, Might Guy and others in terms of hard power at present, once his abilities catch up, his strength will not be weak.

"I understand. I will try to improve my combat ability during this training." Obito replied with a grin, scratching his head. He felt what Mu Yue meant.

In this regard, he is indeed not as good as Might Guy and Shisui, and he has lost many battles with Might Guy despite having an advantage.

4.8k, today I have done 7.8k, I will try to get more tomorrow. I was in a hurry to post and forgot to choose the chapter title. This one can only be changed by the editor, which is really troublesome...

Chapter 259 Iwagakure's War Strategy

After the training, the five of them gathered again at the dumpling shop.

"Kakashi, where did you meet Minato-senpai this morning?" Obito asked impatiently.

"Have you asked Minato-senpai about Mu Yue-sensei's preferences? You won't have forgotten, will you?"

Today was the last day they agreed to come up with the gift, and they had to decide on it today no matter what.

"Do you think I'm you? The reason I'm a little later than usual is because of this," Kakashi said with a nod, a little aggression because it was morning.

Hearing this, the other three also looked at Kakashi, but Kakashi's next words made them a little disappointed.

"I asked, but Minato-senpai didn't have the information we wanted." Kakashi replied.

"I don't know about Senior Minato either. Maybe Teacher Mu Yue only has two hobbies, calligraphy and education, and doesn't have any hidden hobbies." Obito sighed, feeling that his expectations were in vain.

He thought about it and realized that even the disciples they interacted with every day didn't know, so what could Minato Namikaze know?

"But I think what Senior Minato said makes a lot of sense. Just like what Xiaolin said before, just convey your thoughts." Kakashi said seriously.

"Think about it, is Teacher Mu Yue teaching us so that we can give him good gifts? No, as long as we practice diligently, he will be very happy."

Several disciples fell into deep thought, and Mu Yue said this to them all.

"As long as your strength improves, it will be the best reward for me." Might Guy's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the time when he first won the first place in the class in the practical test. Mu Yue said this to him at that time.
