Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

Compared to Mu Yue's life, Namikaze Minato's position as Hokage is just a small matter.

Not to mention Minato Namikaze becoming Hokage, even Obito would be willing to give up his own dream of becoming Hokage.

In the afternoon, Mu Yue received a mission from the Root. Danzo Shimura needed him to find the body tissue of the Iwagakure spy.

Mu Yue simply ignored this task.

He just didn't want Danzo Shimura to get White Zetsu's body, so he let the shadow clone kill White Zetsu. How could he take the initiative to help Danzo Shimura find White Zetsu's body?

Mu Yue guessed that Danzo Shimura was also overwhelmed by the information about the battlefield, so he notified him with an attitude of giving it a try.

……

The next day, Mu Yue and others left under the reluctant gazes of Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

Due to the unclear attitude of Iwagakure at the moment, Mu Yue did not take many ninjas with him, only a few dozen, all of whom were ninjas who had been on the battlefield for some time.

Except for Mu Yue and his disciples, all the other ninjas from the support force stayed behind.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen's order was to return to Konoha as soon as possible, Mu Yue and others marched quickly and returned to Konoha quickly.

"It's not even been half a month, but it feels like a long time has passed." Obito sighed when he saw the peaceful scene at the gate of Konoha again.

This was not his first time to fight in a war, but it left as much of an impression on him as his first time on the battlefield.

It was the first time he saw the Konoha ninja troops looking like a lost dog.

When they first met, the morale of the Konoha ninja troops was visibly low.

This was also the first time that Obito participated in a ninja war with a total number of participants exceeding 3,000.

Konoha has 1,200 ninjas, and Iwagakure has nearly 2,000 ninjas. The total number of ninjas from both sides is 3,200.

During the battle, Obito just felt that there were endless enemies to defeat, and he didn't even dare to enter the Flame Breathing Chakra mode.

I was worried that I would become a burden to others without chakra.

"Because the pressure this time is greater than any time before," Kakashi replied.

When they were at the Hidden Mist battlefield, they didn't need to think about anything else, they just had to follow the orders issued by Orochimaru.

But the Grass Kingdom is different this time.

First, they were urgently summoned to support Jiraiya's troops. At that time, they didn't know what happened on the front line, they only knew that the troops were defeated.

Such an unknown and powerful enemy can easily cause psychological pressure.

Later, Mu Yue made them the few people who knew about the ambush plan and let them participate in the affairs of the army.

"That may be the case. I really want war to disappear completely." Obito said sincerely as he recalled the scene of blood splattering and limbs flying on the battlefield.

The Sharingan gives Obito extraordinary observation skills.

When he saw the uncle he had greeted a few hours ago being pierced through the heart by a sharp kunai, Obito felt bad even though the other person was just an uncle whose name he didn't know.

"Then you have to study harder and work harder." This time Kakashi did not make any sarcastic remarks, but encouraged in a calm voice.

Obito looked at Kakashi in surprise, as if to say, "How could you speak like that?"

"Look at Mr. Mu Yue and Mr. Minato, and then look at yourself. Do you think you are worthy of it now?" Kakashi changed back to the tone that Obito was familiar with.

Obito instantly felt that the familiar Kakashi had returned, and the urge to punch Kakashi also came back.

"Disband. I will report the mission to the Sandaime-sama." After entering Konoha, Mu Yue looked at everyone and said.

"Lord Mu Yue, goodbye." The ninjas waved goodbye to Mu Yue and left quickly.

Many of these ninjas haven't seen their families for a while and can't wait to have a good chat with them.

"You can also disband. Those who want to go home can go home. Those who want to practice can go to the South Border Forest." Mu Yue said to the disciples who were still standing behind him.

"In the next two days, you can all rest as you wish. If you have nothing else to do after two days, you can gather and practice as usual."

Obito and his friends have recently reached a critical period. Once they master the new abilities taught by Mu Yue, each of them will be able to make significant improvements.

So even though he had just fought a great battle, Mu Yue did not give him too much rest time, and made it clear that he had to practice after the rest.

Uchiha Madara's actions are becoming more and more blatant, and Obito and his men must be stronger to protect themselves in the chaos that will follow.

"Okay, Teacher Mu Yue, I understand." Obito nodded.

He definitely needs to practice, after all, he was just ridiculed by Kakashi.

However, Obito plans to go home to see his grandmother first before going to the Southern Forest to practice.

The other disciples also nodded.

Their ideas are basically the same as Obito's.

Kakashi was not going to go home, but was going to buy a Konoha newspaper and then go to the South Forest to practice.

He was curious about how Konoha would report this great victory and how it would report Mu Yue.

After explaining everything, Mu Yue went to the Hokage Building.

thump.

Mu Yue walked to the Hokage's office and knocked gently on the door.

"Enter."

The voice of the Third Hokage came from behind the door.

Mu Yue then opened the wooden door and walked into the Hokage's office.

"Sir Sandaime." Mu Yue greeted him with respect.

"Mu Yue, you are indeed a person who can bring surprises to others." Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with a smile on his face.

"The reason why I chose you as the commander despite everyone's opposition is because I value your steady character and think you can make up for the disadvantage.

As a result, you really gave me a big surprise, killing more than 1,600 enemies, 400 more than the number of your troops."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not mention the matter of Observation Haki, but praised Mu Yue's achievements.

PS: 5k, it’s hard to say what will happen next.

I will write, but not too late. If I haven’t finished it by 2 o’clock, I will find time tomorrow to finish it and then post it.

I feel much more comfortable after not staying up too late, and I feel more energetic.

Chapter 580 The second Wood Release Ninja?

"It was just a coincidence. We happened to catch the Iwagakure spy. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the larger force with a smaller one so easily." Mu Yue answered modestly.

"How can it be a coincidence? This is your ability, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile.

"If it weren't for you, Mu Yue, who mastered the ninjutsu that can identify malicious intent, it wouldn't be a victory of the few over the many, but another crushing defeat."

Before Mu Yue discovered those "Iwagakure spies", even Sarutobi Hiruzen had not imagined that there was a transformation technique in the ninja world that could hide from the sensing ninjas.

It would not just be a simple defeat, but people would also be in panic because of spies of various identities.

If a spy appeared in another family, Sarutobi Hiruzen might just investigate it, but if a spy appeared in Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely wonder whether Uchiha was planning to join forces with other ninja villages to stage a coup.

When dealing with Uchiha, all Konoha's high-ranking officials first questioned him because Uchiha really had a criminal record.

"Without the ability to observe, the spies of Iwagakure are indeed hard to guard against. Lord Sandaime, I think we can select some ninjas with perception talents to learn observation." Mu Yue saw Sarutobi Hiruzen leading the topic to the spies of Iwagakure, so she took the initiative to speak.

"I am the only one who has mastered the observation Haki, so I can't take care of too many places."

Since we have to teach him anyway, it would be better for him to take the initiative so that everyone will save face.

"Mu Yue, your worry is not unreasonable, but it's too much trouble for you." The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became even more intense.

He was very satisfied with Mu Yue's performance.

"Sure enough, Mu Yue is a ninja with the will of fire." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

Mu Yue really has a broad view of the overall situation and can proactively bring it up without him saying anything.

It’s not that he is greedy for Mu Yue’s ninjutsu, but the observation Haki is really important.

If Mu Yue had not passed down the Observation Haki, and something unexpected had happened, he would have died on the battlefield.

Then if Konoha encounters Iwagakure spies again in the future, it will be at a loss.

"This is what I should do as a Konoha ninja." Mu Yue replied seriously.

"Not every Konoha ninja can make the same contribution as you. Mu Yue, are there any ninjutsu that you are interested in?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.

"As long as it's not some forbidden ninjutsu, I can give it to you if you want it."

This time, Mu Yue not only made great contributions, but also took the initiative to contribute the perception ninjutsu he developed. As long as Mu Yue did not choose the ultimate forbidden technique such as Impure World Reincarnation, Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to give it to him.

The Impure World Reincarnation is indeed powerful, but it is too inhumane. Not only does it play with the souls of the dead, but it also requires living people as sacrifices.

Unless Konoha is really facing a life-and-death situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not allow anyone to study Impure World Reincarnation.

"I want all the information about Wood Release in the village." Mu Yue pretended to think and then said.

He wanted to rationalize the source of his Wood Release.

Today, his character is that of a ninjutsu genius who surpasses Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he has developed the ice escape technique before, so it is barely reasonable for him to develop a wood escape technique.

Mu Yue is mainly for Yamato. If Mu Yue's Wood Release is brought to light, it will also help Yamato get out of its current predicament.

With Mu Yue, the first Wood Release Ninja of the new generation, in front, Yamato's existence will not attract so much attention and will be more reasonable.

"Wood Release?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. Wood Release ninjutsu requires Wood Release Kekkei Genkai to be used.

"Mu Yue, do you want to..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered the origin of Mu Yue Ice Release.

Before completing the mission in the Snow Country, Mu Yue didn't know how to use Ice Escape. However, after going to the Snow Country and seeing the snow secret technique there that was similar to Ice Escape, Mu Yue developed Ice Escape on his own.

"If it's Mu Yue, maybe it really can work." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it carefully and felt that with the talent shown by Mu Yue, there is really a possibility of success.

If it were someone else, even if it was Orochimaru who came, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have persuaded Orochimaru not to waste time.

Mu Yue is different. Mu Yue has successfully developed ice escape and has been successful.

"I want to see if I can learn from the experience of my predecessors and develop Wood Release." Mu Yue answered honestly.

I have to say that character setting is indeed a good thing, if Mu Yue didn’t have the character setting of a genius.

If Mu Yue used Wood Release, the Konoha high-ups would probably only have two guesses. The first was that it was an experiment on Hashirama's cells, and the second was that he was the illegitimate son of the Senju clan.

"I'll have someone prepare it as soon as possible, and after it's done, I'll have the Anbu send it to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

"If there is no progress, don't take it too seriously. First practice other abilities that can make you stronger, and then study Wood Release when you have time later." Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

Although Mu Yue showed an abnormal talent, Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't think that Mu Yue could definitely develop Wood Release.

One reason is that Mu Yue has only used ice escape once, so it might be accidental.

Second, the only ninja who possesses Wood Release is the Ninja God Senju Hashirama. Even his descendants cannot awaken Wood Release. The Konoha ninjas subconsciously feel that Wood Release is superior, more powerful and more difficult than other bloodline limits.

As a person who has been through it, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want Mu Yue to waste her golden time for cultivation by getting stuck in a dead end.

In his opinion, even if Mu Yue had not developed Wood Release, he was still the ninjutsu genius who surpassed him.

If Mu Yue practices for another ten years, even if he doesn't have a bloodline limit, he still has the potential to become the strongest in the ninja world.

However, if Mu Yue could master the Wood Release technique, his goal would be higher, and he might even become the second Ninja God.

"The second Shodaime is still too exaggerated. After all, his chakra is truly incomparable to ordinary people." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head in his heart.

The chakra of Hashirama Senju is unmatched even among the Senju clan.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama, for the reminder." Mu Yue thanked.

"Mu Yue, do you have any other ninjutsu you want?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not asking Mu Yue to answer a multiple-choice question. As long as Mu Yue was interested in any ninjutsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen would give it to her at his discretion.

"I don't need anything else for now. I want to study Wood Release first." Mu Yue refused.

Even if you are a genius, you can't exaggerate too much. You have to take things one step at a time.

Moreover, the only ninjutsu that Mu Yue is interested in now are the forbidden techniques such as Impure World Reincarnation, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is unlikely to teach them.
