Chapter 155 Obito’s Regret

“The final exams are next week, so everyone can review well at home this weekend,” Muzuki reminded them after finishing the last class on Friday.

There will be no classes next week, with exams from Monday to Wednesday, followed by a direct holiday.

“Another holiday already?”

“What should I do during the holiday? Hiking? Picnics?”

“I hope I do well on the exams. If I get ninety points in theory and thirty points in practical, I can have a comfortable holiday…”

When the final exams were mentioned, the students in the classroom began to discuss animatedly.

“Muzuki-sensei, will there be special training during this holiday? Has it been confirmed?” Kotetsu Hagane asked.

He wasn’t worried about not being in the top eight. He had the advantage of having participated in one special training session and hadn’t slacked off in his usual cultivation.

“It’s been confirmed. There will be special training after this semester ends, starting on the third day after the exam results are released. The school will notify the selected students in advance,” Muzuki said.

The Intern Ninja program does not affect the special training during the holiday; both will proceed concurrently.

“Will Muzuki-sensei still be teaching?” Izumo Kamizuki asked the question he cared about most.

If the instructor wasn’t Muzuki, his expectations would drop a bit, as another teacher might not teach as well as Muzuki.

“I won’t be in charge of the holiday special training this time. I have other things to do,” Muzuki replied.

“But you don’t need to worry. This special training will have three teachers teaching together. The school is taking this very seriously.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered that other teachers’ teaching abilities might not be as good as Muzuki’s, so he arranged for two additional teachers to teach together, selecting those with outstanding performance.

“Ah, then I won’t be able to see Muzuki-sensei for a long time,” Anko said, a little disappointed.

“If I have time, I’ll go and check on the special training,” Muzuki said with a smile.

After class, Muzuki spoke to his disciples about the Intern Ninja.

“This holiday, Obito and Might Guy, you two won’t need to participate in the special training. Instead, you’ll experience Ninja work in advance as Intern Ninja,” Muzuki said.

“Intern Ninja?”

“Experience Ninja work in advance?”

Obito and Might Guy focused on different points.

“Muzuki-sensei, does experiencing Ninja work in advance mean going on missions?” Might Guy asked.

“Exactly,” Muzuki nodded.

“However, because you are Intern Ninja, you can only accept lower-ranked missions,” Muzuki said.

“Then will we also receive mission fees like official Ninja?” Might Guy asked excitedly.

If that were true, Might Guy thought it would be great, as he could then contribute to his family’s income through his own efforts.

“The mission fees are the same as for official Ninja,” Muzuki replied with a smile.

“Is it just Might Guy and me? What about Rin and Shisui?” Obito thought for a moment and asked.

“The Intern Ninja program is for Fourth Grade students. Shisui is a First Grade student, so he can’t participate.”

“For Fourth Grade students, only a small number are selected for the Intern Ninja program; other students undergo normal special training. Rin was not selected,” Muzuki continued to answer.

“Oh, I see. That’s really a shame,” Obito said with a look of regret.

As an Intern Ninja, getting familiar with Ninja work in advance, Obito felt it was a good thing. He could earn money and become an excellent Ninja faster in the future.

“It is a bit regrettable, but there’s nothing we can do if we weren’t selected. When the time comes, please share your experiences of Ninja work,” Rin Nohara said with a gentle smile.

Rin Nohara, who wasn’t selected, did feel a little regret, but not much. Even without this internship, she would graduate and become a Ninja in a few months anyway.

“Leave it to me! I’ll definitely explain the mission process and my feelings clearly to you,” Obito said, patting his chest.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Obito,” Rin Nohara said with a gentle smile.

“The assignment of Intern Ninja is similar to official Ninja: three students per squad with one supervising teacher. You and Might Guy are in the same squad,” Muzuki continued.

Hearing Muzuki say this, Obito felt even more regret. It would have been great if he were in the same squad as Rin Nohara. Doing missions together every day, Rin Nohara would surely understand his extraordinary qualities even more deeply.

“Muzuki-sensei, if it’s a three-person squad, then who is the other person?” Obito asked curiously.

“You’ll know when the time comes. It’s someone you know,” Muzuki said with a chuckle.

“Someone I know? Uchiha Tekka? Or Shiranui Genma?”

Obito asked several names, but Muzuki shook his head, denying them all. He scratched his head and didn’t ask further; the scope of “someone you know” was too broad.

“As long as it’s not Kakashi,” Obito thought to himself.

He felt that was completely impossible. Kakashi had graduated several years ago; how could he still participate in the Ninja Academy’s internship?

“Remember to review well when you go back. There are still final exams before the internship,” Muzuki reminded him.

“Ah, I almost forgot about the exams! Damn Shadow Clone, I told him to review, but he ignored me!” Obito wailed.

Although using a Shadow Clone for studying would still result in pain upon dispelling, the Shadow Clone’s pain was instantaneous, while his own studying was continuous pain.

“You can do it! Even if your practical scores go up, you can’t abandon theory,” Rin Nohara encouraged softly.

…

The next morning, Muzuki woke up early to go to the South Border Forest to teach his students.

Obito practiced Nature Transformation by familiarizing himself with the Breathing Technique, while Might Guy and Shisui engaged in combat training, and Rin Nohara practiced Medical Ninjutsu.

“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!”

Obito formed a hand seal with his left hand and held four Kunai with his right. With just one seal, he completed the Ninjutsu, and the four flaming Kunai exploded, creating small pits on the ground.

“Finally, I won’t make mistakes anymore, using Ninjutsu with one hand and one seal,” Obito said, very happy.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

“Leaf Strong Whirlwind!”

Might Guy, using Rock Breathing with all his might, tried to disrupt Shisui’s rhythm with his wild attacks.

Under Might Guy’s powerful strength, large trees continuously fell, creating constant rumbling sounds. However, Shisui remained calm, constantly using Body Flicker Technique to dodge and wait for Might Guy to expose a weakness.

Looking at the messy forest, Muzuki felt that he would have to make them find an open space to fight in the future, otherwise the trees would become increasingly sparse.

Muzuki used his appraisal to check the progress of their Breathing Technique. Shisui had reached ninety-seven, needing only three more points, while Might Guy had reached eighty-two, needing eighteen more points of proficiency.

“This time, Obito should still win,” Muzuki speculated in his mind.

If Obito wasn’t being particularly reckless, it would be difficult for Might Guy to win against Obito with his current Breathing Technique progress.

However, it didn’t matter much who won between them. Their theoretical scores were too average, destined not to achieve perfect scores.
