Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"I'm very interested. I feel that the sealing technique is very mysterious and powerful." Mu Yue said with a look of longing.

"From the perspective of improving strength, sealing technique is indeed a good choice." Minato nodded and said.

The three of them continued to talk about the topic of sealing techniques until the meal was finished.

Mu Yue spent most of the time listening, and occasionally expressed some new opinions, which made Minato and Kushina feel more accomplished.

Kushina first tried the braised pork belly, which she had never eaten before. She was so delicious after taking a bite. The soft, glutinous and non-greasy texture made Kushina take a big mouthful of rice.

"This is so delicious. Why haven't I seen such a delicious dish before?" Kushina fell in love with the taste of braised pork at once.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Mu Yue said with a smile.

"It's a deal. Minato and I will help you buy groceries tomorrow night." Kushina nodded quickly.

After saying that, Kushina glanced at the plate of stir-fried mushrooms, and realized that most of it was gone. Minato had been eating non-stop while they were discussing how to teach him how to cook.

"I haven't eaten yet, Minato, please leave some for me." Kushina didn't care about anything else and started eating quickly.

The first bite also successfully amazed Kushina, it was so delicious.

After eating and drinking, the three of them went out for a walk together.

It was inevitable to chat while strolling. Mu Yue talked about some interesting things during teaching, and Minato and Kushina also talked about some strange things that happened during their missions.

……

Two days before the competition, Mu Yue began the final training for Obito.

"If you want your ninjutsu to look more powerful, in addition to changing its nature and chakra amount, you can also make it look more majestic by changing its form," said Mu Yue.

"But there are only two days left. Is there still time to practice the transformation?" Obito scratched his head and said.

"Of course it's too late." Mu Yue said directly. Obito did not have such a strong talent in ninjutsu.

"But you don't need to control the transformation. You only need to master my improved fireball."

In order to help Obito get first place and maximize the rewards for the training mission, Mu Yue took great pains.

He specially modified the fireball to make it look bigger, but in fact there was not so much flame inside and its power remained the same.

In short, it looks intimidating.

Anyway, there is no fighting in the Youth Ninjutsu Competition. Each person just performs a ninjutsu to see who gets the higher score.

"Teacher Mu Yue, you are simply my Six Paths Sage!" When Obito heard Mu Yue's words, he instantly felt that he was in a safe position to be number one.

Kakashi has no chance of winning against himself, who has been taught by teacher Mu Yue!

"After all, you have said something like a lifelong request, so as your teacher, I must do my best." Mu Yue said with a smile, intentionally cultivating Obito's awareness of asking his teacher for help when he has something.

"Hehe." Obito gave an embarrassed smile.

"Practice hard." Mu Yue tapped Obito's head.

"Yes!" Obito started practicing immediately.

He couldn't wait to defeat Kakashi and take first place in front of Nohara Lin.

Chapter 43 The game begins

In the evening, at the Uchiha clan territory.

"Obito, don't eat so fast, be careful not to choke."

Hearing his grandmother's words, Obito slowed down his rice-eating and explained:

"Grandma, a friend asked me to go out and play."

"Which friend? Is it Xiaolin?" Obito's grandmother asked Obito with a smile.

Since Nohara Rin often came to play with Obito, Obito's grandmother also knew Nohara Rin.

"Yeah, but there are others too." Obito replied while eating.

The Junior Ninjutsu Competition will begin tomorrow. He has been practicing very hard all day and is exhausted.

Maybe because he and Kakashi will become competitors again tomorrow, Nohara Lin invited them to come out and play together tonight to relax.

Because of Kakashi, Obito also called Might Guy to join him.

"I'm full." After eating, Obito wiped his mouth and hurried out.

Grandma Obito followed him to the entrance and said with a smile: "Keep working hard, Obito. I still want to see my great-grandson."

Obito almost fell to the ground with a somersault, turned around and shouted with a red face: "Grandma, I'm still in school."

Although I do have some ideas in my mind, I am too young now.

Everyone agreed to gather on a street in the south of the main urban area.

When Obito arrived, he found that the other three had already arrived, and he was the last one.

"I met an old lady who needed help on the way, so I was a little slow." Obito explained.

"You really run into old ladies so easily. It's like this every time." Kakashi felt that this was a bit outrageous.

"I don't know either, but when I see an old lady in need of help, I can't just ignore her." Obito felt a little wronged because he did help the old lady on the road.

"Okay, it's okay. It's probably because Obito is too kind and has eyes that are good at finding people in need of help." Nohara Rin walked between the two of them with her hands behind her back and smiled gently.

After resolving this little incident, the four of them walked together on the street.

"There are so many people here. Kakashi, how about we have a competition to see who can get through the crowd faster?" Might Guy couldn't help but ask as he looked at the densely packed streets.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse." Kakashi refused decisively, leaving no hope for Might Guy. This challenge was too stupid.

"There's an event going on on this street today, so a lot of people came," Nohara Lin explained.

Then Nohara Lin took the three of them to the event venue. The entire street was filled with vendors, brightly lit, and people in yukata were walking together.

"Look, this goldfish is so cute." Nohara Lin found a stall selling goldfish and waved to everyone with a smile.

"Little sister, do you want to try it? You can buy a net for only ten taels." The stall owner tempted.

"Ten taels..." Nohara Lin looked thoughtful. Ten taels wouldn't be a big deal, but a net might not be enough. This kind of paper net would be too easy to break.

"Let me try." Obito volunteered and stepped forward to hand the boss a net.

Obito directly set his sights on the most active and best-looking fish, but after two or three attempts, he didn't catch any fish and the net broke.

"Try again!" Obito was not discouraged. He tried again, but still failed.

Until the ninth time, Nohara Lin directly stopped Obito and said, "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."

Eighty taels is enough to buy a bowl of ramen.

"But we've tried it so many times and we're already more proficient at it than before. Wouldn't it be a loss to end it now?" Obito said hesitantly.

"I want to try it too." Might Guy, who had never played before, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to catch the fish with all his strength in one breath.

Snap, the stick with the finger net tied to it broke.

"Let me do it." Kakashi said lightly, handed the ten taels of silver to the boss, and caught a goldfish with a net.

"Here you go." Kakashi handed the fish packed by the boss to Nohara Lin.

Nohara Lin smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Kakashi."

Then he added, "Thank you, too, Obito and Gai."

Obito, who had originally had a bitter face, suddenly smiled foolishly.

The four of them then played around together, using shuriken to poke handles and identify the clones' true selves...

After playing until there were fewer people on the street, we prepared to buy some octopus balls and go home.

"Kakashi, just wait and see tomorrow, I will definitely be the first this time." Obito took a bite of the octopus balls and did not forget to say something harsh.

"If you want the first place reward, I can give it to you after I get it." Kakashi was very aggressive at this time.

The two men exchanged harsh words, which made Might Guy's blood boil. If there was a youth taijutsu competition, he would definitely invite Kakashi to have a fight.

……

The next day, we didn’t have to go to school because it was Sunday.

The competition started in the afternoon, and Obito went for his final training in the morning.

The Youth Ninjutsu Competition was held on a commercial street in the main city of Konoha.

Obito heard that it was organized by an old ninja store manager to encourage students in the ninja school. Later, when everyone saw that it could attract traffic, they pooled money to hold it, and it has been held every year.

"Obito, which ninjutsu are you going to use in this competition?" asked Nohara Rin.

"Great Fireball Technique." Obito did not keep the suspense but told Nohara Rin directly.

"Aren't you going to use the Great Dragon Fire Technique that you used in the practical exam before?" Nohara Lin was a little puzzled.

The last time Obito lost to Kakashi, he used the Great Fireball, which scored a full 30 points, a full 9 points lower than Kakashi.

"This time is different from last time. My Fireball Technique is very powerful now!" Obito showed a confident look. He believed that his Fireball Technique would definitely shock the whole audience.

"Well, then I'm looking forward to your performance." Nohara Lin smiled gently.

"Obito, come on. As my nemesis, that man is not that easy to defeat." Might Guy crossed his arms and said with an unfathomable look on his face.

"You want me to leave?" Kakashi, who had been silent on the side, spoke up.

Why are they even discussing how to defeat him in front of him?

"Kakashi, what ninjutsu are you going to use?" Nohara Rin asked with a smile.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll just use any one of them when the time comes. Maybe I'll use the Earth Flow Wall." Kakashi said after thinking for a while.

This was not pretense, because he had mastered quite a few ninjutsu, and he could use them freely in this kind of competition.

Obito looked around and saw many familiar faces from the ninja school, including two ninjas wearing forehead protectors.

"There are a lot more people this time than last time." Obito said, recalling the last game.

"Because the rewards have increased, the first place winner this time will not only receive an exquisite silver-plated kunai, but also a bonus of 8,000 taels." Nohara Lin said.

"Eight thousand taels!" Obito opened his eyes wide and became even more determined to win first place.

This is eight thousand taels, which is enough to easily spend whether treating Lin to a meal or giving her a gift.

"The competition begins. Please invite contestant number one to perform."

Chapter 44 Ninjutsu Talent

"Very good. Thank you to contestant number one for his clone show. His score is eight."

"Next, we would like to invite contestant number two to perform."

"Teacher Mu Yue, why do you want to come to this kind of competition? It feels like a waste of time. There are very few official ninjas in this kind of competition."

Asuma asked in confusion as he saw the contestants' poor clone skills on the stage upon arriving.

Mu Yue said with a smile: "Asuma, have you forgotten your last battle with Shisui? Never underestimate anyone."

Asuma was speechless for a moment. If Mu Yue had not comforted him in time during the battle with Uchiha Shisui, he might have been beaten into autism.

"It won't hurt to learn more about the strength of your peers in the village." Mu Yue said casually.

The main reason was that he was afraid that Obito would fail, so he would feel more at ease if he went to the scene to see it.

Asuma looked around and thought he saw some familiar faces.

"Kakashi is here too. Could he be participating in the competition as well? That would be a bit bullying." Asuma quickly discovered Kakashi and his group.

He and Kakashi were friends, and he knew how abnormal this guy was. He graduated at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six. His talent was extremely terrifying.

While others were still learning hand seals and practicing the Three Body Technique, Kakashi had already begun practicing various ninjutsu and cultivating changes in their nature.
