Chapter 164 The Idol is White Fang (3k)

Kakashi, who was about to act, froze, thought for a moment, and then followed Muzuki.

If it wasn’t luck, he was a little curious how Obito managed it.

Then Muzuki took Kakashi and started tracking Obito.

With Byakugan and the memories from his Root training, Muzuki’s stealth was impeccable; Obito didn’t notice he was being followed at all, focusing intently on finding the mission target.

“Light yellow fur, twenty centimeters tall…” Obito muttered the mission target information while looking around.

Obito even opened a trash can lid to see if the dog was inside.

Seeing Obito’s actions, Kakashi felt a bit speechless; what kind of dog would hide in a trash can?

“Isn’t that little Obito? Are you looking for something?”

Suddenly, an old man called out to Obito with a smile and asked.

“I’m looking for a light yellow puppy, about this big.” Obito gestured as he spoke.

“A light yellow puppy, huh? I haven’t seen one. I haven’t been out much lately, but I remember that Ueki fellow likes to wander around. I’ll take you to ask him.” The old man said.

“Then I’m truly grateful to you, Grandpa.” Obito thanked him with a look of gratitude.

Then the old man took Obito to find the person named Ueki.

“A light yellow puppy? I think I saw one in the east of the Main urban area, but I forgot where.” The old man named Ueki thought for a moment and said.

“You’re really getting old and your memory is failing. This is no different from saying nothing.” The old man said, displeased. The entire eastern part of the Main urban area was very large.

“Hehe, Grandpa, it’s fine. It went from the entire Konoha to just the eastern part in an instant, which reduced the scope a lot.” After speaking, Obito thanked the old man again.

Then Obito headed to the eastern part of the Leaf Village Main District. Because his search was too obvious, he was called out by an old man again. In this way, Obito quickly got the puppy’s location with the guidance of one old person after another, and then directly used his Breathing Technique to burst forth and catch it.

“How about it? Do you still think this is luck?” Muzuki turned to Kakashi and asked.

“No, this is a victory of information.” Facing Muzuki, Kakashi didn’t speak stubbornly.

He had also tried to get information from passersby, but they weren’t as kind as the Grandma and Grandpa Obito encountered. Most of them just gave perfunctory answers, and some didn’t even bother to respond.

The old people Obito met were practically eager to lead Obito to the mission target. If they didn’t know, they would use their connections to help Obito ask. They were simply too enthusiastic.

“But given the same conditions, I can do better.” Kakashi said.

Obito could have completed the mission in a shorter time, but due to his occasional mysterious actions, it ended up taking him almost an hour to complete.

Kakashi even saw Obito helping a Grandma down the steps while doing the mission.

If he had the same information advantage as Obito, Kakashi could compress the mission time to within forty minutes.

“Obito’s ability to change your conditions is his strength.” Muzuki shook his head and said.

Forcibly saying “same conditions” is absurd. Kakashi couldn’t possibly have such high popularity, so there’s no such thing as “same conditions.”

“And why think about competing under the same conditions, instead of using your strengths to compensate for your companion’s weaknesses?

Obito is a bit slow in doing things, but he has an information advantage. You can act with Obito; your initiative combined with Obito’s information, working together, wouldn’t the mission efficiency go up?” Muzuki continued.

Kakashi didn’t speak, but with his mission experience, Muzuki was indeed not wrong.

Then Muzuki took the three of them to the Hokage Building again to turn in the mission.

“So fast! You’ve already completed the third mission.” The registrar said in surprise.

【Disciple Might Guy diligently completed the entrusted mission, gaining Chakra +10. Led by the teacher himself, an additional reward of Chakra +5 is given.】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito diligently completed the entrusted mission, gaining Chakra +10. Led by the teacher himself, an additional reward of Chakra +5 is given.】

“This time it’s fifteen points again. It seems the reward for the same level will also vary due to different difficulties.” Muzuki thought to himself.

“How about it, Kakashi, are you convinced now? Haha, I, Uchiha Obito, am Konoha’s Mission King!” Obito said, hands on his hips, laughing arrogantly.

“You’re so proud after doing a few D-Rank missions. Anyone who didn’t know would think you did an S-rank Mission.” For some reason, seeing Obito’s smug expression made Kakashi feel a bit annoyed.

“You haven’t done one, so how do you know I can’t do an S-rank Mission?” Obito was very confident in himself.

“Obito was amazing today!” Might Guy gave a thumbs up in praise.

Finding it once could be luck, but Obito finding it first three times in a row? That can’t be explained by luck; it’s pure skill.

“Today is the first day of missions, I’ll treat everyone to barbecue.” Muzuki said.

After doing three consecutive missions, plus miscellaneous time, it was now time for lunch. So Muzuki didn’t take on any more missions, but instead prepared to take his students to eat.

“Yay!” Obito cheered.

“Yo, Kakashi, are we going to compete to see who eats more meat later?” Might Guy issued a challenge. Obito had won all three missions today, and Might Guy also wanted to win once.

Kakashi felt a bit speechless. Ever since he joined Muzuki’s class, he was either being challenged or on his way to being challenged. Even eating was not peaceful.

However, when it came to actually eating barbecue, Kakashi still managed to enjoy a moment of peace, because everyone was eagerly eating the barbecue Muzuki grilled.

At first, Kakashi was a bit unaccustomed and slightly embarrassed, because this kind of barbecue usually involved everyone grilling their own food.

After eating a piece of grilled meat that Muzuki forcefully put into his bowl, Kakashi silently accepted Muzuki’s kindness.

Kakashi was very confused. It was clearly the same grill, and only those seasonings, and he didn’t see Muzuki take out any secret sauce, but what Muzuki grilled was just much tastier than theirs, almost as if it wasn’t the same food.

Kakashi had to cook for himself very early due to special reasons, and he considered his cooking skills to be decent, but when he encountered Muzuki, he truly felt he couldn’t understand it.

“Could it be his control over the heat, making every part perfectly cooked?” Kakashi speculated in his mind.

If he didn’t know there was no Ninjutsu to improve food taste, he would definitely suspect Muzuki used such Ninjutsu.

After eating their fill, the four of them didn’t get up and leave immediately, but instead started chatting.

“Muzuki-sensei, you are simply my Six Paths Sage!” Obito used a metaphor to express his gratitude and admiration for Muzuki.

“You mean the Barbecue Sage, right?” Muzuki chuckled and tapped Obito’s head.

“Hehe, by the way, does everyone have any Ninja they particularly admire?” Obito scratched his head and smiled, starting a topic.

“If it’s admiration, then of course it’s only Father and Muzuki-sensei.” Might Guy said with great spirit.

Kakashi didn’t participate in this topic. At this point, he no longer had any Ninja he admired or aspired to be like.

“Speaking of admiration, I also have a Ninja I greatly admire.” Muzuki said with a smile.

“Wow, the Ninja Muzuki-sensei admires, I’m so curious.” Obito’s eyes instantly lit up and he said.

For them, these disciples, Muzuki was both a kind and mysterious existence.

Although he was only a Chunin teacher at first, he mastered various Ninjutsu and forbidden Ninjutsu, his strength was unfathomable, and he also told them not to expose their teacher-student identity outside. Even a thick-skinned person like Obito could tell that Muzuki was not simple.

Such a mysterious and powerful Muzuki-sensei actually had a Ninja he admired, Obito was very curious.

Might Guy also looked like he was listening intently. He was as curious as Obito.

Kakashi wasn’t too interested. He felt it was probably just the Sannin or the Hokage.

“He is a powerful Ninja known as Konoha White Fang. He once made great military achievements for Konoha, striking fear into people on the battlefield. He is an extremely excellent Konoha Ninja.” Muzuki’s eyes seemed to glow as he spoke, looking full of longing.

“Is that the legendary Konoha White Fang? I think I’ve also heard of him; he’s a super amazing Ninja.” Obito discussed excitedly.

“I’ve heard of him too. He’s a very strong Ninja, but it seems he sacrificed himself later.” Might Guy said.

White Fang’s reputation in Konoha was still very prominent. Even students like them who were still in school had heard of White Fang’s prestige.

Kakashi looked at Muzuki with some surprise. He didn’t expect such an excellent Ninja like Muzuki to actually admire his father who committed suicide.

Although he hadn’t been in contact with Muzuki for long, Kakashi had to admit that Muzuki was excellent in all aspects, much stronger than his previous instructor.

Hearing Might Guy’s words, Kakashi recalled some memories, clenched his fists, stood up, and left the barbecue restaurant without a word.

“Hey, Kakashi, where are you going? Going to the restroom after eating too much?” Obito asked, puzzled. Why did he suddenly leave when they were chatting so nicely?

Kakashi didn’t answer Obito’s words and walked away without looking back.

“I’ve already paid for the meal. You can sit here for a while or go for a walk. We’ll gather at Training Ground 22 at 1:30 PM. I’m going to see what’s wrong with Kakashi.” Muzuki stood up and said.

“This Kakashi is really inexplicable. Even the girls in the class aren’t as hard to figure out as his mood.” Obito couldn’t help but complain.

Might Guy also scratched his head, unsure what had happened.

Leaving the barbecue restaurant, Kakashi walked aimlessly, eventually reaching the riverside, where he sat by the bank, staring blankly at the river water.

“Made great military achievements, extremely excellent… If that’s truly the case, then why was he criticized to the point of suicide…?” Kakashi murmured.

“Ninja must adhere to rules and prioritize missions. Only then can one be considered a qualified Ninja.”

“Is that truly what you think?” Kakashi suddenly heard Muzuki’s voice from behind him.

Let’s make it six thousand today. I had insomnia yesterday and only slept past 3 AM, then woke up at 8 AM. I didn’t sleep at noon either. I’m so sleepy, I can’t write anymore.

Also, recommending a friend’s book.
