Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

The longer he spent with Mu Yue, the more he felt that what Mu Yue said came from the heart, not just nice words.

"That's right. The most important thing is to convey your thoughts." Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up and said with approval.

"Indeed, Teacher Mu Yue probably doesn't want us to dwell on such things and delay our cultivation." Shisui also nodded.

"Then let's quickly discuss what to give as a gift." Obito stopped hesitating.

Nohara Lin looked at the faces of the four people, and suddenly a good idea came to her mind, so she smiled and said:

"How about we make a few small statues for Teacher Mu Yue? Each of us can make one in our own image, and then we can all work together to complete Teacher Mu Yue's statue. We can make them as we normally do during our training, and when we're all done, we can put them together."

Kakashi thought about it and thought that both the division of labor and the meaning of the gift were very good, so he said, "I think it's okay."

"That's simply wonderful, Xiaolin, are you a genius?" Obito praised with a smile.

Might Guy and Shisui thought about it and nodded in agreement, thinking that this gift was very good.

"I just suddenly felt that this would be a good idea. Even if we are not with Teacher Mu Yue, our statues will be with Teacher Mu Yue." Nohara Lin said with a smile.

With unanimous approval, the joint gift for Mu Yue was finalized. Each of them would complete their own statue in the first three days, and then everyone would work together to complete Mu Yue's statue in the next two days.

The issue of what to send was resolved, but Obito soon faced a new problem: this thing was not easy to do.

After buying the materials and equipment and returning home, Obito looked at the sculpture he had made of himself, and finally sighed and threw it into the trash can.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Obito finally decided to use ninjutsu to help himself. He had to stay with Mu Yue. He didn't ask for him to be very good, but at least he had to be like himself.

Taking this into consideration, Obito specially bought a few more tools. The Shadow Clone didn't waste any time and started practicing as soon as it came out.

In addition to the gifts given by the group, Obito did not forget his own gift and finally finished the drawing before going to bed.

"Fortunately, Xiaolin came up with a good idea, otherwise I would be too busy." Obito sighed in his heart.

Practicing sculpture is also helpful for him to make inkstones. If he changes one, he will definitely make one poorly.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing?" Obito couldn't help but think of other people's sculptures while lying on the bed.

The first one is Nohara Rin who gave him the rock phase. Nohara Rin has experience and should be good.

As for Kakashi and Shisui, Obito felt that they might be similar to him, after all, they also had Shadow Clones.

As for Might Guy, Obito couldn't say for sure.

Three days passed quickly, and on the fourth day, the five disciples gathered together with their finished products to prepare for the production of the Mu Yue statue.

Since they needed to make something, the location was not chosen at the dumpling shop, but at Kakashi's house.

"Kakashi, you are so awesome. How did you do that?" Nohara Lin immediately saw the lifelike statue of Kakashi on the table.

She looked closer and found that Kakashi had completed every detail. He was wearing a mask on his face and holding the White Fang short blade in his right hand, as if he was rushing forward and slashing.

"Let me see." Obito, who had just walked in, heard Nohara Rin praising Kakashi and ran over immediately.

After seeing Kakashi's sculpture, Obito swallowed back the words he had prepared in his mind. This level was really hard to criticize.

"What do you think, Obito? I really feel like Kakashi." Nohara Rin looked at Obito and asked with a smile.

"It's indeed okay, quite similar, but I feel there is still a lot of room for improvement." Obito commented.

If it was the work of Nohara Rin, he would say that it was simply invincible, so powerful that it couldn't be more powerful, and it was exactly the same as the real person, but this was the work of Kakashi, so Obito could only say that it was okay and still needed to practice.

"Obito, your requirements are too high. I feel that this is already very impressive compared to mine." Nohara Rin said as she placed her sculpture on the table.

Obito looked at the statue of Nohara Rin. Compared with Kakashi's, Nohara Rin's statue was indeed a bit rough. The facial depiction was okay, but the clothes and other things were very different from Kakashi.

"I think you did a great job, Xiaolin. You're not much worse than Kakashi, just with a different style." Obito praised.

Kakashi:......

"After saying so much, Obito, why don't you take out yours and let me see it?" Kakashi asked indifferently.

He had spent a lot of time and effort to carve his sculpture using earth escape technique, and he didn't believe that Obito could do better than him.

"Ahem, mine is a little different from yours in style. It's a little more rugged." Feeling Nohara Rin's curious gaze, Obito put his statue on the table as well.

Kakashi looked at the statue of Obito, which depicted himself using Fire Style. The statue had his palms together, with the little finger and ring finger crossed, and the remaining fingers standing upright. This was the Tiger Seal, which is usually the last seal of Fire Style.

But Obito only carved the fingers, the face was processed very roughly, and the goggles that Obito wore on a daily basis did not appear.

"It feels pretty good. The hand seals are very standard." Nohara Lin praised with a smile.

"It's not as good as yours, Xiaolin. After all, I haven't had much contact with it before." Obito laughed.

"Only the hand seals are okay. The rest are too crude. And did you forget the goggles on your head?" Kakashi commented directly.

Since his was just okay, he would use Obito's standards to evaluate Obito's statue.

"I carved a day when I didn't want to wear goggles." Obito said stubbornly. In fact, he couldn't handle this problem so he simply gave up. Moreover, he spent a long time to make the finger seals.

"Really? I was thinking that if you really don't know how to do it, I could help you. But forget it if that's the case." Kakashi said with a look of regret.

Although he was making crazy and sharp comments, Kakashi still wanted to make this gift for Mu Yue better, at least everyone should look their own way.

"Um...I..."

Obito wanted to see what Kakashi would do, but he was a little hesitant to say it. Asking him to beg Kakashi for help would be fatal.

"Actually, I forgot to wear it that day, not that I didn't want to wear it. Please help me, Kakashi." Obito finally spoke.

Although face is important, the gift given to Mu Yue is more important.

"My dear friend, sorry for the wait!" Might Guy walked in and greeted him.

Kakashi responded to Might Guy, then turned to Obito and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you."

Obito thought that Might Guy came at a really bad time. He felt very uncomfortable after being told once, and he even had to be told a second time.

"I'm asking for your help. The statue forgot to wear goggles. Thank you." Obito used all his strength to say this. After he finished speaking, he felt as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over his body.

Kakashi raised the corner of his mouth and a deep smile appeared on his face. In fact, he heard it and said it on purpose.

Looking at the smile in Kakashi's eyes, Obito felt cheated for a moment, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only give him a look that said "remember this for me" and watched how Kakashi operated.

Kakashi took out a piece of earth, then made hand seals and used earth escape ninjutsu. Soon a pair of goggles was completed. Then Kakashi placed the goggles on Obito's statue and used earth escape ninjutsu to adjust the size, and finally merged them together.

"So you did it using ninjutsu!" Obito was shocked. It was as if he had worked hard to complete his homework, but in the end he saw someone cheating and copying it in a few minutes.

"What's wrong with using ninjutsu? Do you think it's easy to complete such a delicate operation using earth escape?" Kakashi said lightly.

Obito couldn't refute it, being able to use ninjutsu is also a skill.

In the end, all five people took out their own sculptures, and Obito found a statue that was even more rugged than his, which was Might Guy's.

The sculpture of Might Guy is of himself using Konoha Tornado, with one leg kicked out.

"Akai, do you want to work on your face again? It looks a little blurry." Obito reminded.

"No need, I feel it looks like mine." Might Guy waved his hand and said.

"Indeed, with thick eyebrows and a watermelon-shaped head, you can recognize him at a glance." Kakashi gave his approval.

Might Guy is indeed very rough, but all the necessary features are visible, and he is actually easier to recognize than Obito before he had goggles.

The statue of Shisui shows him practicing with a short blade, with the blade in his right hand stabbing forward.

"Shisui, your weapon is so exquisitely made." Nohara Rin discovered that the small short blade in the hand of the Shisui statue actually had many details.

"It took a lot of time." Shisui nodded. The short blade on the statue was the birthday gift Mu Yue gave him. He spent most of his time on it.

"The head will be left to Kakashi, and the hands will be left to Obito..." Nohara Rin assigned tasks according to the strengths of the statues.

In addition to Mu Yue's body, there are actually other things to do, such as the chassis of the statue and the scene. For example, Nohara Lin wants to make a broken tree next to her statue to make the training scene more realistic.

With the efforts of several people, Mu Yue's statue was completed and the scene was enriched.

Mu Yue stood in the center of the entire work with a warm smile on her face. Mu Yue was surrounded by five disciples. To the north was Shisui who was practicing with a short blade, and next to him was a wooden man who had been cut in half.

To the south is Obito, with explosion marks on the chassis in front of him, to the west is Might Guy, who looks like he is kicking towards several large trees, to the east is Kakashi, with a cut wooden stake in front of him, and to the southeast is Nohara Rin, next to a broken tree.

"It's finally done, but it would be too difficult to carry such a big thing on my body." Obito said as he wiped the sweat from his head.

"Let's put it in the southern forest, and then give the gift to Teacher Mu Yue there." Kakashi suggested.

The other four people thought it was a good idea. If they brought such a big thing, Mu Yue would definitely notice something and the surprise would not be so great.

So the five of them went to the southern forest together at night, and Kakashi used earth escape to hide the gift in a big box.

……

Meeting room of the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village, Land of Earth.

"Third Hokage, can such an action really allow Kumogakure to increase its military strength to deal with Konoha?" A bearded Iwagakure elder was somewhat puzzled by Ōnoki's plan.

The two great Jinchuriki were sent out, and a large number of ninjas were hidden in the ninja village.

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of Kumogakure, they must think that we really don't have the strength to fight against Konoha. In order to prevent us from withdrawing from the war, they will definitely send a stronger force to attack Konoha." Ohnoki, who was sitting on a high chair, replied with a smile.

"When Kumogakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure are all deeply involved in the war, that will be the time for us to go all out."

"But the relationship between Yunyin and us is not good. They should be on guard against us." Another elder pointed out the problem.

The ninja world has now entered a state of chaos, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure are also at war.

"That's why I want Kumogakure to underestimate us. Kumogakure is reckless, and they will definitely not imagine that we still have an army of tens of thousands of ninjas." Ohnoki explained in detail the benefits of showing weakness to the enemy.

The Land of Earth is difficult to invade due to its terrain. Even if he shows weakness, the enemies have to consider this. For the weak and difficult Land of Earth, Kumogakure will definitely choose the Land of Fire and fight against Konoha.

Once they have a clear understanding of the background of other major ninja villages, it will be time for their Iwagakure army to take action.

"Sagakure is weak, Kumogakure is reckless, and Konoha is also showing signs of decline. In the end, we, Iwagakure, will be the winner of this war!" Ohnoki said confidently.

Once, their Iwagakure Village was humiliated when it went to Konoha to form an alliance. Ohnoki and his teacher, the second generation Tsuchikage Mu, were both seriously injured. This time, he wanted Konoha to see the power of his Iwagakure Village and let Konoha be beaten so hard that it would take the initiative to ask for peace with his Iwagakure.

"Before that, we cannot withdraw from the war and must continue to send ninjas to fight." Ohnoki arranged the next actions.

If he just stopped fighting, the other ninja villages would definitely be secretly on guard against him.

4.2k, there is one more chapter to come

Chapter 260 Graduation Exam

Monday, early morning.

Obito's biological clock woke him up automatically. After washing up, he ate the breakfast prepared by his grandmother and prepared to go to the ninja school.

Today is the day of the final exams at the Ninja School, but for Obito, this exam is different from any previous exams, because this exam is a graduation exam. If you pass it, you will be given a forehead protection on the spot, which means you have graduated from the Ninja School.

"Obito, are you up? Today is the graduation exam, huh?"

Just as Obito was about to leave, Nohara Rin's voice reached his ears, so Obito quickly changed his shoes and said:

"How could I possibly sleep in today? I've already had breakfast."

Obito quickly put on his shoes and walked out. The moment he went out, he saw Nohara Rin with a smile on her face waving at him.

"I was worried that you would be late like when you first entered school, so I came here to call you. It seems that I underestimated you, Obito." Nohara Rin said with a smile.

Nohara Lin didn't know what the consequences would be if she was late for the graduation exam, but she had a feeling it wouldn't be good, so she got up early, washed up, and ate, and then rushed to Obito's house to call him.

"I am the man who will end the war and become Hokage. I will not make the same mistake again and again." Obito said confidently with his chest puffed out and his head raised.

Even if he meets someone who needs help again today, Obito has a way to avoid being late. He can use the Shadow Clone Technique to let the shadow clone help the old man while he goes to school to take the exam.

"Then Obito won't need my help anymore?" Nohara Rin asked with a chuckle, putting her hands behind her back and leaning forward slightly, looking into Obito's eyes.

"This...this..." Obito was a little incoherent. He said he needed to slap himself in the face, but how could he say such a thing without Nohara Rin?

"It's not the same thing. Hokage also needs help from his companions, just like Hashirama Senju became Hokage with everyone's support. Of course I need your help, Xiaolin." Obito's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought of the case mentioned by Mu Yue, so he spoke quickly.

At this moment, he was glad that he had listened to Mu Yue's lecture carefully. Although there were many things he didn't understand, he remembered them in his mind.

"Then let's go to school quickly." Nohara Rin looked at Obito's reaction, covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then spoke.

In fact, she was just joking. She knew that Obito would definitely not say that he didn't need her help.

"Well, if we go earlier, we can deal with any problems we encounter on the way." Obito breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on Nohara Rin's face, then nodded heavily and said.
