Chapter 477: Transparent World Growth (8k)

“Shisui, you fought well! I knew you could win!” Obito was overjoyed when he saw Kakashi lose the battle.

What he feared most was Kakashi winning while he lost.

Now that Kakashi had lost, and he couldn’t possibly beat Might Guy, they were both in the same boat; neither could criticize the other.

“No, I can still criticize Kakashi. After all, he can’t refute me for two weeks.” Thinking this, Obito felt even more delighted.

Kakashi glanced at Obito indifferently. He had lost, but Obito wouldn’t have it easy either, because Obito was sure to lose to Might Guy.

By then, Obito would suffer through those theoretical test papers, likely becoming disoriented from studying and needing two weeks to recover.

“Although I lost the battle, I gained a lot from it,” Kakashi thought to himself.

His biggest mistake in this battle was believing that Shisui’s genjutsu would have no effect on him.

Shisui used actual combat to show Kakashi that Transparent World couldn’t ignore all genjutsu; Shisui’s genjutsu hadn’t worked on him before simply because it wasn’t strong enough.

“Perhaps I can use this opportunity to train Transparent World,” a thought suddenly flashed through Kakashi’s mind.

If Shisui continuously used genjutsu on him while he was in Transparent World, and he kept dispelling it, it might increase his dispelling speed or enhance Transparent World’s fine control over his internal Chakra.

Kakashi felt this special training method was worth trying. If it failed, he would only waste a little time, but if it succeeded, the benefits would be substantial.

“Now, only Guy is left,” Shisui said, looking at Might Guy.

He had defeated Obito in the previous internal battle, and now Kakashi. Only Might Guy stood in his way.

Of course, Shisui wasn’t overconfident. He didn’t believe he could defeat Might Guy using Eight Gates stacked with Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

Might Guy was not only incredibly strong but also somewhat countered Shisui. The genjutsu Shisui excelled at would be difficult to affect Might Guy, who trained in Eight Gates.

Although it was a battle he was almost certain to lose, Shisui would fight hard, remember the defeat, and then diligently train to overcome it.

“Obito, Guy, prepare for battle,” Muzuki said after healing Shisui’s injuries.

Obito took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the battle arena. What was destined to come would come.

Might Guy laughed and followed him into the arena, his bright white teeth reflecting the sunlight.

“Rin, will Obito bring his camera to the South Border Forest?” Kakashi suddenly remembered something and asked.

Sometimes, a picture is more convincing than words.

“I did see him bring it, but it seems he doesn’t bring it every day.” Although Rin Nohara wasn’t sure why Kakashi suddenly asked this, she still thought carefully before answering.

Kakashi nodded, formed hand signs, and created a Shadow Clone to find Obito’s camera, while his main body continued to sit and watch the battle.

“Battle start!”

Upon hearing Muzuki’s voice, Obito didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately focused his breathing to the extreme and entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

In a normal battle, Obito would at least use a few regular Fire Release jutsu to test the waters, but facing Might Guy now, Obito worried about being brutally beaten by Five Gates stacked with Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, without even a chance to show what he could do.

After all, Might Guy was also someone who would go all out at the slightest provocation, and Obito had to be prepared.

“Eight Gates, Gate of Opening, open!…Gate of Pain, open!”

Might Guy was also very decisive, directly opening four Gates in a row. A large amount of Chakra surged out, and his aura skyrocketed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Obito rapidly activated the Chakra within his body, and flames ignited on both his hands and feet as he swiftly charged towards Might Guy.

Obito felt that ordinary Fire Release Ninjutsu wouldn’t hit Might Guy, so he decided to primarily use Fire Release Taijutsu in this battle.

Might Guy, like him, hadn’t mastered Armament Haki Secret Technique, and Might Guy hadn’t even touched the concept of it. Obito felt that Fire Release Taijutsu, with every punch and kick carrying high-temperature flames, might have an unexpected effect.

“Fists and feet with flames, then I’ll have to use this.” Might Guy, who had originally intended to fight with Eight Gates for a while, focused his breathing to the extreme.

“Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, activate!”

Might Guy’s breathing rhythm rapidly changed. A massive amount of Chakra within his body began to burn swiftly. As Rock Breathing Chakra Mode fully activated, Might Guy’s aura surged again.

“Fire Release: Flame Fist!”

Obito lunged forward, and a great burst of fire appeared at his right fist. The intense flames already on his fist instantly grew even stronger under Obito’s enhanced Chakra, and as he swung, sparks bloomed in the air.

Facing Obito’s aggressive flaming fist, Might Guy calmly gathered Chakra at his own fist, then slammed it out.

Boom!

As the two fists met, the intense flames attached to Obito’s fist instantly exploded, scattering fire in all directions.

Obito, meanwhile, felt an incredibly terrifying force assaulting him. He unleashed his full power, trying to block this terrifying force, but found it utterly unstoppable. In just three seconds, Obito could no longer hold on.

Thud!

A dull thud sounded as Obito was sent flying like a cannonball, breaking several large trees before he stopped.

Kakashi, in Transparent World, had anticipated this moment and precisely pulled out his camera to capture it.

“Cough, cough, as expected of Guy, his strength is truly immense.” Obito quickly got up and coughed twice.

Obito had actually anticipated this outcome. It would be strange if he, a Fire Release Ninja, could win a Taijutsu battle against a pure Taijutsu Ninja.

Obito’s main goal was to damage Might Guy’s fist with the high-temperature flames on his own fist, thereby trading blows to gain a glimmer of victory.

Obito’s eyes were fixed on Might Guy’s fist, but he was surprised to find that Might Guy’s fist showed no signs of burns as he had expected. It had only turned very red, as if scalded by hot water.

“Can Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, combined with the most crude Chakra protection, achieve this level?” Obito’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

He had heard Muzuki say that Rock Breathing Chakra Mode would enhance defense, but he didn’t know the effect would be so good. If Armament Haki Secret Technique were added to that, wouldn’t he be able to bathe in Ninjutsu without any problem?

“Leaf Hand Blade!”

Might Guy paid no mind to his palm, which had sustained slight injuries from the high-temperature flames. He gathered a large amount of Chakra and powerfully swung a surge of air towards Obito.

“You’re overthinking it if you think that will work on me.” Obito activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and easily dodged the incoming surge of air.

He often had to face Muzuki’s Leaf Hand Blade, and while Might Guy’s was good, it was far inferior to Muzuki’s.

But Might Guy’s attack was merely a feint. The next moment, Might Guy’s figure flickered, appearing beside Obito.

“Fire Style: Orochi Nagi!”

Obito’s accumulated flames instantly surged out, ready to engulf Might Guy.

Obito had secretly gathered Chakra while dodging the previous attack because although Might Guy had long-range attack methods, he was still stronger in close combat, and Might Guy preferred close combat.

His opponent was simply too strong, and even Obito had to consider tactics.

“Leaf Dragon God!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Might Guy unleashed all his Chakra and spun violently. A green dragon swiftly formed, breaking through the flames and lunging at Obito.

“Great Flame Ring – Flame Emperor!”

Obito retreated with all his might, gathering all his remaining Chakra to unleash his final Fire Release.

The boost from Flame Breathing Chakra Mode allowed Obito to instantly complete the Nature Transformation of all his Chakra. The moment Obito raised his hands, terrifying flames soared, and an enormous fireball appeared in Obito’s hands.

Flame Emperor was currently the most powerful Fire Release Obito had mastered, and also the most Chakra-consuming Fire Release. Obito could basically only use Flame Emperor once per battle.

Facing the terrifying incoming fireball, Might Guy chose to cancel Leaf Dragon God and retreat rapidly.

He could use Leaf Dragon God combined with Rock Breathing Chakra Mode to defend against Orochi Nagi and take it head-on, but taking on a Fire Release of Flame Emperor’s caliber would be too reckless.

Rumble!

The terrifying heat wave engulfed the entire area around Obito, turning it into a sea of fire. The ground became scorched earth, and the trees turned to ash under the terrifying high-temperature flames.

Obito, his Chakra exhausted, sat on the ground and nodded in satisfaction at the scene. This way, he didn’t lose too badly. He had injured Might Guy, and he only lost because he ran out of strength.

“Guy wins,” Muzuki announced the end of the battle.

“This Fire Release is very youthful! It would be even better if it were a bit faster,” Might Guy said with a laugh, pulling Obito up and giving him a thumbs-up.

Although it didn’t hit him, Obito’s final Flame Emperor indeed had a very strong presence.

“Haha, that’s how Flame Emperor is,” Obito chuckled, scratching his head.

In Obito’s opinion, Flame Emperor was just a super Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique—same large range and power, same average speed making it hard to hit people, almost the same template.

So, in real combat, Obito rarely used Flame Emperor, usually opting for Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

Because Flame Emperor consumed too much Chakra, unless Obito was facing too many enemies, it was simply not cost-effective to use.

But facing too many enemies also presented a problem: in a crowded battlefield, how could he dare to consume so much Chakra at once? It would be easy to encounter danger.

Obito felt that Flame Emperor would only become a practical and useful Ninjutsu when he had enough Chakra to throw it around like Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Obito walked up to Kakashi, chest out and head held high. Although he had lost, he had lost more gracefully than Kakashi.

Kakashi didn’t injure Shisui, but he injured Might Guy. Win!

Kakashi’s strategic error led to his defeat, while he only lost due to exhaustion. Win!

Obito summarized and found that compared to Kakashi, he had utterly triumphed.

“Kakashi, why do you have my camera in your hand?” Obito noticed that Kakashi had somehow gotten his camera.

“Just helping you record some life,” Kakashi replied with a faint smile.

For some reason, Obito felt a bad premonition.

“Give me back my camera,” Obito reached out to reclaim his camera.

“I’ll give it back to you after I develop the photos,” Kakashi showed Obito the pictures he took, but he didn’t return the camera to Obito.

Obito stared at the photos, dumbfounded. In the picture, Might Guy was in a punching pose, while Obito was flying backward, with a broken tree not far away. Obito even had green leaves on him, a perfect depiction of Obito being sent flying.

What made Obito even more unbearable was that his face looked distorted in the photo due to the high-speed backward flight.

Obito tried to forcibly snatch back the camera to delete the photos, but how could he, exhausted, possibly snatch anything from Kakashi’s hands?

“Go develop the photos quickly.” Kakashi handed the camera to his Shadow Clone.

Kakashi’s Shadow Clone, without a word, ran at full speed and disappeared from Obito’s sight. Obito, exhausted, could only watch helplessly as Kakashi’s Shadow Clone’s figure gradually shrunk until it vanished.

Obito felt hatred in his heart. If he hadn’t used that Flame Emperor at the end, he surely would have been able to snatch the camera back from Kakashi’s hands.

In today’s showdown, both Obito and Kakashi suffered losses.

After a period of intermission, Shisui and Might Guy began the final internal battle between the disciples.

“Eight Gates, Gate of Limit, open!”

Might Guy roared, directly opening the Eight Gates to the Fifth Gate. A massive amount of violent Chakra surged from the gate, enhancing Might Guy’s body.

Might Guy was someone who was good at learning from his mistakes. Since Kakashi lost to Shisui’s genjutsu, Might Guy immediately entered his current normal limit, the Fifth Gate of Eight Gates, at the start.

After opening the Fifth Gate, the Chakra within Might Guy’s body was already extremely violent. Let alone others controlling it, Might Guy himself couldn’t control it, only able to use the simplest physical reinforcement, which was gathering Chakra in a certain part of his body.

However, Might Guy, after opening the Gate of Limit, did not immediately enter Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

His current body strength was insufficient, and using both abilities simultaneously would injure his body due to excessive pressure. Might Guy avoided using it if he could.

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

Might Guy gathered a large amount of Chakra in his leg and powerfully kicked out a whirlwind kick towards Shisui.

Shisui gathered Chakra in his eyes and activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan. After catching Might Guy’s movement, he dodged sideways and threw a flaming Shuriken at Might Guy.

“Leaf Hand Blade!”

Might Guy, whose attack missed, took the opportunity to unleash a transparent surge of energy, shattering Shisui’s flaming Shuriken.

Shisui looked at Might Guy, his blood-red Sharingan activating Chakra, and tentatively used genjutsu on Might Guy.

“Leaf Strong Whirlwind!”

As Shisui expected, his genjutsu had no effect on Might Guy. Might Guy charged towards him with even greater force.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Shisui swiftly formed hand signs and exhaled a giant fireball, forcing the approaching Might Guy back.

“At this difficulty, even strengthening with Ninja tools won’t work. Let’s try Obito’s fighting style.” Shisui prepared to give up on using genjutsu.

Fifth Gate Might Guy wasn’t actually immune to genjutsu; it was just that Shisui’s genjutsu wasn’t strong enough. Freezing Might Guy for even a moment was much harder than it was for Kakashi.

Shisui changed his breathing rhythm, and his Flame Breathing became more focused.

Although Obito failed, it didn’t mean the tactic was unfeasible.

Because Might Guy was wary of his genjutsu, he would push his Eight Gates to the limit, and currently, Might Guy would usually only use Rock Breathing Chakra Mode simultaneously with the Fourth Gate.

Although Might Guy would definitely use it directly if he got desperate, the interval before Might Guy got desperate was Shisui’s only chance to win.

When Might Guy charged again, Shisui no longer dodged or used Ninjutsu for defense. Instead, he circulated his breathing to the extreme, entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, and the Chakra within his body began to burn rapidly.

“Fire Release: Leaf Whirlwind!”

Shisui concentrated Chakra in his legs and fiercely kicked a swirling kick, imbued with high-temperature flames, towards the incoming Might Guy.

Bang!!

Shisui’s body rapidly retreated, instantly being knocked back eight meters by Might Guy’s powerful force, while Might Guy only took a slight step back.

“Shisui’s Fire Release Ninjutsu seems to be much weaker than Obito’s,” Might Guy thought, feeling his foot heating up slightly.

In the previous match, when he exchanged blows with Obito, he sustained some damage even with the enhanced defense of Rock Breathing Chakra Mode and Chakra protection.

This time, because he didn’t have the Rock Breathing Chakra Mode boost, he used a bit more Chakra, but Shisui’s Fire Release Ninjutsu was weaker than he expected.

Might Guy thought about it and found no issue; Fire Release Ninjutsu is a technique that can only be used after mastering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode. Shisui had only mastered it for a short time, so it was normal for him to be weaker than Obito.

Might Guy kept this discovery in mind, but he still didn’t underestimate Shisui. Shisui’s Fire Release under Flame Breathing Chakra Mode wasn’t weak, and Shisui still had his Armament Haki Secret Technique unused.

“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!”

Shisui simultaneously spat out flames and threw Shuriken. After passing through the flames, the blades of the Shuriken were dyed with fire, resembling small fireballs.

Shisui seemed to have given up on competing with Might Guy in Taijutsu, re-establishing distance to use Fire Release.

Swoosh, swoosh!!

Might Guy continuously burst Chakra, moving rapidly across the field to dodge the incoming attacks, while also closing the distance with Shisui, looking for an opportunity.

Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson was much more powerful than a regular Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. Even Might Guy, in Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, wouldn’t casually take it head-on.

“Rock Breathing, Full Concentration!”

“Leaf Strong Whirlwind – Extreme!”

Might Guy concentrated his Breathing Technique to the critical point before entering Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, maximizing his physical abilities. He seized Shisui’s opening during his attack, condensed a massive amount of Chakra in his leg, and kicked towards Shisui.

Although Flame Breathing allowed for quick Fire Release, at this distance, Shisui wouldn’t have time to release powerful Fire Release techniques like Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet or Great Flame Ring – Flame Emperor.

“The chance is here!” Shisui thought to himself, seeing Might Guy fall for it.

Ever since entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, Shisui had been acting.

His Fire Release Ninjutsu was indeed not as good as Obito’s, but it wasn’t as bad as he had just shown, because the core of the Fire Release Ninjutsu he mastered was flame compression, a technique Shisui was very proficient in.

Shisui exploited Might Guy’s unfamiliarity with Fire Release and Fire Release Ninjutsu to mislead him.

Of course, this alone wasn’t enough for Shisui to call it an opportunity, because he didn’t exaggerate his act too much. His full-power Fire Release Ninjutsu wouldn’t be much stronger, as Might Guy would surely be suspicious if it was too weak.

Shisui also had another trick up his sleeve: the Armament Haki Secret Technique enhanced by the Bent Spoon!

As the earliest disciple to master the Armament Haki Secret Technique, Shisui’s Armament Haki was unanimously considered the strongest among Muzuki’s disciples, and everyone would be wary of it in battle. Moreover, having just returned from the battlefield, they were well aware of Shisui’s specific Armament Haki strength.

The hidden power of Fire Release Ninjutsu combined with the unexpected Armament Haki—this was the opportunity Shisui had been waiting for.

This was Shisui’s only chance. The consumption of Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, the consumption of Armament Haki, and the consumption of the Bent Spoon—if this Fire Release Ninjutsu didn’t win, it meant losing.

“Fire Release: Blazing Impact!”

Intense flames burst from Shisui’s body, with most of the flames concentrated and compressed around Shisui’s shoulder. Immediately after, a jet-black Armament Haki covered Shisui’s shoulder.

Boom!!

Bang, bang, bang!!

Might Guy’s ultimate power, Leaf Strong Whirlwind, collided with Shisui’s full-power Fire Release Ninjutsu, instantly triggering a violent explosion.

The immense power of both caused the ground they stood on to shatter, sending gravel and dirt flying everywhere, and dust filled the air.

The observing disciples watched the battleground with astonished expressions. They had initially thought this would be a battle without suspense.

“Why isn’t Guy using Rock Breathing Chakra Mode?” Obito couldn’t help but complain.

Might Guy only needed to enter Rock Breathing Chakra Mode to sweep aside Shisui, but Might Guy stubbornly didn’t use it.

Yet, when he fought him, Might Guy entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode at the very beginning of the battle.

“Shisui’s camouflage ability is too strong; Guy completely fell into his trap,” Kakashi sighed.

Due to his apprehension about Shisui’s Genjutsu, Might Guy kept his Eight Gates at the Gate of Limit.

Then Shisui deliberately showed weakness, making Might Guy believe that he could end the battle without using Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

Because combining the Gate of Limit with Rock Breathing Chakra Mode would injure his body, Might Guy naturally wouldn’t easily enter Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

“What a powerful Iron Mountain Impact.”

As the dust cleared, Might Guy stood on the ground, limping, and sighed, while Shisui lay on the ground.

The moment he sensed something was wrong, Might Guy broke through the critical point and entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode. Relying on his formidable defense and strength, he forcefully blocked Shisui’s attack and counterattacked.

It was fortunate that his Rock Breathing Chakra Mode wasn’t as versatile as other Breathing Techniques, merely providing straightforward physical enhancement. If it were other Breathing Technique Chakra Modes, he likely wouldn’t have had time to use Ninjutsu.

“Truly pure strength,” Shisui realized what it meant for one strength to overcome all techniques.

Despite all his calculations, including Flame Breathing Chakra Mode and Armament Haki Secret Technique, Might Guy shattered it with a single kick.

“The hard power gap is too large,” Kakashi shook his head.

Currently, Shisui’s raw power should rank second, slightly higher than his and Obito’s, but not by much. Might Guy, in first place, had already pulled a significant distance ahead of them.

Kakashi felt that if Might Guy’s body were even stronger, and he could maintain the Gate of Limit and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode constantly, even Teacher Chen, Konoha’s strongest Taijutsu user, would likely be defeated by Might Guy.

“Guy wins.”

Muzuki announced the final result and began to treat Shisui and Might Guy.

“Ugh, just destroy it. Who invented test papers anyway?!”

With the internal battle over, Obito was in agony just thinking about the punishment he was about to face.

The thought that he would suffer like this again in three months if his strength didn’t improve immediately motivated Obito to train. Before the next internal battle, he vowed to master the Armament Haki Secret Technique.

“Those injured in battle should rest well; don’t rush into training,” Rin Nohara gently reminded him, then continued her Jonin special training.

Rin Nohara currently had no desire to participate in the disciple internal battles. Even Obito and Kakashi, who were eliminated in the first round, could easily overwhelm her. Rin Nohara just wanted to complete her training and pass the Jonin assessment to become a Jonin.

Kakashi rested for a while, then went to ask Muzuki about the feasibility of his Transparent World training plan.

After all, Breathing Technique was developed by Muzuki, so Muzuki was definitely the one who understood Transparent World the most.

Otherwise, random training without progress would be minor; making a mistake would be troublesome.

“You can try,” Muzuki thought for a moment before replying.

In the Demon Slayer world, Transparent World was considered a realm. As long as one achieved it, the abilities were all the same, with no differences. The ultimate combat power still depended on the individual’s other abilities and physical fitness.

Muzuki initially thought that the localized Transparent World would be similar to the one in the Demon Slayer world, just with an added ability to enhance Chakra control.

However, after he obtained the second perfect-level Breathing Technique, Transparent World did undergo some changes: the range of external perception increased, perception became more detailed, and internal Chakra precise manipulation became stronger.

Later, Muzuki tried to use Transparent World more often to train it. He didn’t know if it was because Muzuki’s Transparent World was already strong enough or if there was a problem with the method, but the effect was almost negligible.

Regardless, Muzuki was certain that Transparent World could continue to grow stronger. What they needed to do next was to conduct various experiments.

Having received confirmation, Kakashi walked over to Shisui, whose injuries had already healed.

“Shisui, do you have time now? I’d like to ask for your help in verifying an idea,” Kakashi asked.

After being affirmed by Muzuki, Kakashi increasingly felt his idea was feasible.

At that time, Shisui would practice Genjutsu on him, which would improve Shisui’s Genjutsu, while Kakashi could also improve his Transparent World. At worst, he could gain more experience in dispelling Genjutsu, so neither of them would waste each other’s time.

Shisui, who was replaying the battle in his mind, stopped his thoughts and nodded, “As long as it doesn’t take too long, it’s fine.”

After all, Shisui also needed to cultivate and couldn’t always help Kakashi with tests.

“It won’t waste too much of your time, and you’ll also be able to practice Genjutsu during the process,” Kakashi briefly explained his idea to Shisui.

In this training, Kakashi would not only have to maintain the Transparent World state throughout but also be attacked by Shisui’s Genjutsu. This more aggressive training certainly couldn’t last too long, otherwise Kakashi’s body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Continuously using Genjutsu to attack you in Transparent World…” Shisui made a thoughtful expression.

“Should the Genjutsu be of the same intensity as during the internal battle, or a bit stronger?” Shisui asked.

The Bent Spoon’s single Chakra input lasts for ten minutes, with each input calculated separately for duration. If Shisui recovered and input Chakra simultaneously, he could unleash Genjutsu much stronger than in actual combat.

“Shisui, you weren’t using your full strength in the recent battle?” Kakashi was somewhat surprised, unable to help but answer Shisui’s question with his own.

This was something he hadn’t expected, considering Shisui’s performance in the internal battle, his Genjutsu had already made significant progress.

“That’s not it. I have a Ninja tool that, when Chakra is input into it, can enhance the power of the user’s Yin Release Ninjutsu. For non-combat situations, I can input as much Chakra as possible to gain a higher amplification,” Shisui explained, taking out the Bent Spoon.

Shisui naturally wouldn’t deliberately conceal information from his companions with whom he spent every day.

“A Ninja tool that enhances Yin Release Ninjutsu.” Kakashi instantly understood why Shisui’s performance during the internal battle was different from usual.

Sometimes, it seemed like he didn’t use many Ninjutsu but ran out of Chakra because he was inputting Chakra into the Ninja tool.

“Let’s start by testing with the intensity of the internal battle,” Kakashi replied after thinking for a moment.

He decided to take it slow, to avoid any problems from high intensity at the beginning.

Shisui nodded, concentrating Chakra in his eyes while simultaneously injecting Chakra into the Bent Spoon. Finally, he met Kakashi’s gaze, who had entered Transparent World, and cast Genjutsu on him, while Kakashi dispelled it as quickly as possible.

The two repeated the cycle until they were tired, then rested and engaged in other training.

Obito noticed their unusual behavior and couldn’t help but mumble, “When did Shisui and Kakashi get so close? They’re just playing stare-down, not doing anything else.”

Obito didn’t understand, nor did he object; he still had to focus on mastering the Armament Haki Secret Technique.

Afternoon arrived, and Muzuki first went to Tsunade’s house to cook a meal for her, conveniently preparing portions for Kushina and Minato as well, then had a Shadow Clone deliver Minato’s portion.

After dinner, Muzuki returned home to finalize the Anbu training plan.

The training was set to officially begin in five days, so he needed to organize the subjects he would teach and also develop any Ninjutsu he hadn’t yet created.

The core teaching subjects were Darkness Breathing Technique and its advanced secret techniques. These would be the key skills taught, and Muzuki would use them to earn class rewards related to Breathing Techniques.

The advanced secret technique of Darkness Breathing Technique was actually a burst skill for Darkness Breathing Technique that Muzuki developed by referencing the principle of the Demon Slayer Mark.

Its effect was to consume a certain amount of Chakra to enhance one’s abilities, significantly improving strength, speed, and so on.

Muzuki named it Darkness Burning Technique. Although its power was nowhere near its original counterpart, the Demon Slayer Mark, the advantage of Darkness Burning Technique was its low threshold and ease of cultivation.

It was worth noting that Muzuki had taught Kakashi and the others for so long, yet only three disciples currently had the ability to activate their corresponding Chakra Modes, which highlighted its difficulty.

Next was Nature Transformation. Previously, Muzuki had developed five D-rank Five Great Nature Ninjutsu for teaching purposes. Later, he developed upgraded C-rank Ninjutsu. This time, Muzuki planned to develop all the B-rank versions and teach them to the Anbu.

Currently, Muzuki had completed the development of Fire Release: Fireball Sea Technique, Wind Release: Vacuum Slash, and Water Release: Water Severing Wave. Only Earth and Lightning Nature Transformations remained undone.

This was mainly because Muzuki’s Lightning and Earth Ninjutsu Nature Transformation skills were slightly inferior to the other two, and he had fewer ideas for them.

Ultimately, Muzuki decided to draw inspiration from Pseudo-Darkness for Lightning Release and Earth Rising Spears for Earth Release, building upon the experience of predecessors.

Two days before the training officially began, Muzuki completed the development of all Ninjutsu and the detailed teaching plan.

PS: Today is an 8k mega chapter, a combination of two. I’ve been staying up late recently and my head is spinning. I’m staying up late every day. I’ll try my best to adjust. I should have another burst of updates next month, but if I don’t adjust my body, I might not be able to sustain it.
