Chapter 149: Super-Strength Girl Nohara Lin

In the South Border Forest, Muzuki was conducting his daily lesson.

“Rin, if you were teamed with Obito and Guy, what would your role be?” Muzuki asked Rin Nohara.

“To heal them when they’re injured, and to protect myself during battle,” Rin Nohara replied.

“Actually, Medical Ninja are not without combat capabilities. You should know Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin, right?” Muzuki nodded and continued to ask.

“Yes, I also want to become an excellent Medical Ninja like Lady Tsunade,” Rin Nohara replied, a look of longing in her eyes as she spoke.

It might be hard to pick the most popular male Ninja in Konoha, but if it’s the most popular female Ninja, then it’s only Tsunade.

Tsunade has many fans among both male and female Ninja, and Rin Nohara is also a big fan of Tsunade. She longs to be able to provide powerful healing and stand her ground in battle, just like Tsunade.

“As long as you train hard, it’s possible to succeed.”

Muzuki smiled encouragingly, then continued:

“Excellent Medical Ninja actually possess impressive combat power. The higher their Medical Ninjutsu level, the stronger their combat ability will be.”

After speaking, Muzuki led Rin Nohara to a large tree.

“Chakra Scalpel!”

Muzuki gathered Chakra in his hand, then, through Chakra shape transformation, made the Chakra sharper, and finally, swung it lightly at the tree.

Boom!

Muzuki’s seemingly effortless hand chop directly severed the entire tree.

“So amazing! Is this also Medical Ninjutsu?” Rin Nohara covered her slightly agape mouth with her right hand, speaking with a look of surprise.

When Rin Nohara saw the cross-section of the tree, she was even more surprised, because the cut was so smooth and even, completely unlike something cut by hand.

“Yes, this is indeed the A-rank Medical Ninjutsu, Chakra Scalpel. It’s an advanced Medical Ninjutsu that requires a certain mastery of Medical Ninjutsu to learn successfully,” Muzuki explained.

Next, Muzuki also demonstrated cutting a stone for Rin Nohara. The hard stone was easily cut in half by Muzuki’s Chakra Scalpel as if it were tofu.

“Are we going to practice this next?” Rin Nohara looked at Muzuki with anticipation.

“Your current Medical Ninjutsu knowledge is not enough to master this Ninjutsu,” Muzuki shook his head and replied.

“I understand.” Rin Nohara was a little disappointed, but her motivation to learn increased. If she could learn this powerful Medical Ninjutsu, she would also have considerable combat power.

“What I’m going to teach you now is something else, and it can also increase your combat power, perhaps even more crucially,” Muzuki continued.

Because there were many trees here, Muzuki casually found a larger tree than the one he had just cut with the Chakra Scalpel, then used Chakra burst technique and directly kicked it.

With another boom, the tree snapped and fell to the ground.

Then Muzuki kicked the ground again, and centered around Muzuki, the ground within about four meters cracked completely.

Because of the frequent loud noises, Obito kept looking over in their direction.

“Is this Taijutsu?” Rin Nohara asked somewhat uncertainly.

Rin Nohara felt that if she were to kick with such force, she would only kick up some dust. She couldn’t imagine how painful such a kick would be if it landed on a person.

“It’s Taijutsu, but the reason this Taijutsu has such destructive power isn’t due to physical strength, but rather a special Chakra technique called Monstrous Strength,” Muzuki said.

He was using the Pain Sky Foot he had acquired earlier.

The Monstrous Strength technique is actually quite similar whether used with hands or feet, depending on personal habit. Using a fist is Sakura Impact, and using a foot is Pain Sky Foot. The main key is Chakra control.

Although Rin Nohara hadn’t been studying Medical Ninjutsu for long, she had already shown talent in Chakra control, so Muzuki chose to teach Rin Nohara Monstrous Strength first, rather than Chakra Scalpel.

“If you have strong physical strength and the Monstrous Strength technique, wouldn’t that be strength on top of strength? I feel like Might Guy would be very suitable,” said Obito, who had come over to watch while resting from his training.

“No, Might Guy isn’t suitable. His Chakra control ability is too weak; he basically can’t learn this technique,” Muzuki shook his head and said.

Based on his experience teaching Might Guy Shadow Clone, Muzuki could only say that if Might Guy were to simultaneously learn the high-difficulty forbidden technique Eight Gates and the Monstrous Strength technique, Might Guy would likely learn Eight Gates first, and might even open several gates before learning Monstrous Strength.

Therefore, Muzuki did not teach this seemingly good Taijutsu to Might Guy; it would be a pure waste of time. Moreover, it couldn’t be used after opening the Eight Gates, which made it even more pointless.

“Among you, only Shisui and Rin are suitable for Monstrous Strength, but Shisui doesn’t need to cultivate this,” Muzuki said.

Shisui’s Chakra control ability is also excellent, and learning Monstrous Strength would be no pressure for him, but Shisui has no need for it.

Obito showed a look of sudden realization. Might Guy indeed performed surprisingly poorly when learning certain things; he still hadn’t learned a simple Shadow Clone.

As Muzuki expected, Rin Nohara picked it up very quickly. After some time, although she still couldn’t kick the ground to crack it like him, she could already punch through a normal, not-too-thick tree without a problem.

“Such great strength!” Obito’s mouth was wide enough to fit a large duck egg as he watched Rin Nohara’s slender arms and legs punch through a large tree.

“Obito, don’t underestimate the power of a Medical Ninja,” Rin Nohara retracted her fist and smiled gently.

Obito thought to himself, how could he dare? A punch like that, landing on a person, would surely break countless bones.

“Hehe, Rin, now that you’ve learned this Monstrous Strength, you’ll definitely scare everyone in the class in the next practical exam.” Seeing Rin Nohara’s increased strength, Obito was happy for her.

Muzuki also nodded inwardly. To prevent Obito from falling into darkness, Rin Nohara’s strength also had to increase; at the very least, she couldn’t be a hindrance.

According to his training plan, by the time Rin Nohara was twelve, she would already be a Medical Ninja who had skillfully mastered advanced Medical Ninjutsu like Mystical Palm Technique and Chakra Scalpel.

She could advance with Monstrous Strength and Chakra Scalpel to fight enemies, and retreat to use Mystical Palm Technique to heal teammates.

“It’s a pity she’s not a disciple, otherwise it should be almost time to trigger the improvement reward,” Muzuki thought to himself.

Since he wasn’t sure if he could get new disciple slots in the future, Muzuki held onto his last remaining disciple slot very tightly, and hadn’t used it until now.

It might not seem like much in the early stages, but during the rapid growth period, the difference in the master-disciple feedback for disciples with different talents would become incredibly exaggerated.

For example, at Trust Level Four, if a talented disciple gained a thousand Chakra in a month, Muzuki could gain four thousand. But if a disciple only gained three hundred Chakra, Muzuki would only gain twelve hundred Chakra.

Muzuki’s current strongest desire was to take a disciple from the Uzumaki Clan, but he didn’t have the conditions. Currently, the only Uzumaki clan member Muzuki could interact with was Kushina, but Kushina had already grown up. Even with her Chakra suppressing the Tailed Beast, she could still be appraised as having one hundred fifty thousand Chakra.
