Chapter 162: Too Thin Is Not a Good Thing

“Rock Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!”

Might Guy focused his Breathing Technique even more, rapidly condensing Chakra while absorbing large amounts of oxygen, strengthening his body to its current limit.

“Leaf Strong Whirlwind!”

Might Guy continued to attack Muzuki.

Boom!!

Muzuki dodged Might Guy’s attack, and the large tree behind him was directly kicked down by Might Guy, falling towards Muzuki.

“Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!”

Kakashi quickly formed hand signs and cast the Ninjutsu, a thick earth wall with a dog’s head in the middle rose from Muzuki’s side, blocking one of Muzuki’s escape routes.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

At the same time, Obito was not idle, immediately using the Great Fireball Technique, which was powerful and consumed little Chakra, to block Muzuki’s other escape route.

Muzuki was now in a situation where a tree was pressing down from above, his side was blocked by an earth wall, a large fireball burning with fierce flames was rushing towards him, and Might Guy was eyeing him from the side.

Muzuki held up the large tree with one hand, switched his Breathing Technique to Flame Breathing Constant State, and then formed hand signs with a single hand to release the Ninjutsu.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Muzuki exhaled a giant fireball, five meters high, towards the incoming fireball.

When the two fireballs met, Muzuki’s stronger fireball directly engulfed Obito’s Great Fireball Technique, and the remaining flames continued to rush towards Obito.

“Single-handed Ninjutsu release!” Looking at Muzuki’s actions, Kakashi was shocked. He didn’t expect Muzuki to be able to release a Fire Release of that level while supporting a large tree with one hand.

Might Guy, seeing Muzuki unable to free his hands, immediately attacked Muzuki. Kakashi, who had reacted, also used Body Flicker Technique to rush towards Muzuki.

He couldn’t determine now whether this Muzuki was a Shadow Clone or the main body.

With such power, could it be a Shadow Clone?

Obito also went all out with Flame Breathing, dodging the incoming Great Fireball Technique and rushing directly towards Muzuki.

Muzuki pushed the large tree in his hand towards Might Guy, instantly repelling Might Guy, and then immediately took out a Kunai and engaged in a fierce battle with Kakashi, who was holding a short blade.

Obito, in Total Concentration Breathing state, directly transformed into a flame generator, constantly using the characteristics of Flame Breathing to create flames to interfere with Muzuki.

And Might Guy continuously charged at Muzuki, attacking him with various high-speed whirlwind kicks.

Finally, Kakashi took advantage of a gap in their attacks, secretly infiltrated the ground, and snatched the bell from Muzuki’s waist in one fell swoop.

“It really was the main body.” Kakashi looked at the three bells in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

“We finally succeeded.” Seeing Kakashi’s sneak attack succeed, Obito collapsed directly onto the ground.

It was fine when there were three of them, but after facing him for a while with just two, Obito felt it was difficult to sustain, and he was completely exhausted.

Might Guy also lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath and resting.

He had been fighting Muzuki in close combat the entire time. If he hadn’t made some progress when he rushed out to protect Kakashi just now, Might Guy might not have been able to last until the end.

Kakashi was actually very tired too; he was the first to bear the pressure. Seeing his teammates resting, Kakashi also sat on the ground to rest.

Under the twilight, Muzuki’s three disciples were resting in different ways, only Muzuki remained standing.

“Very good, you completed the training through cooperation.” Muzuki also sat down and said with a smile.

Although it was a result of him significantly holding back, the cooperation of the three was indeed good, especially the first wave; a more ordinary Jonin might truly not have been able to withstand it.

With Muzuki’s strength, if he didn’t hold back, Obito and the others wouldn’t even have a chance to play. With Byakugan, Transparent World, and perfect Thunder Breathing, it would be strange if Muzuki could actually be ambushed.

“Captain Habsheng, did you change clothes in the middle of it?” Kakashi asked the doubt in his heart.

“Yes, I went home for a bit and changed my dirty clothes while I was there.” Muzuki nodded in response.

He had gone back to cook, so he took a bath and changed clothes while he was at it.

Kakashi’s mouth twitched. So he had overthought it. Sometimes, observing too closely isn’t a good thing.

“Next is time to replenish energy.” Muzuki got up and quickly brought over the prepared meals, distributing them to the three.

“Today we have grilled fish and Tempura!” Obito eagerly opened his lunchbox, and upon seeing the rich meal inside, he couldn’t help but swallow, shouting “I’m eating!” before quickly digging in.

“Timely energy replenishment allows youth to burn even more fiercely! I’m eating!” Might Guy opened his lunchbox, smelled the aroma, and also began to eat rapidly.

Watching Obito and Might Guy eat so quickly, as if afraid someone would snatch their food, Kakashi felt a bit strange. He was indeed a bit tired, but not to this extent.

Kakashi opened his lunchbox and felt that Muzuki might indeed have some skill; the appearance and arrangement of the dishes themselves were very aesthetically pleasing.

He picked up a fried shrimp and put it in his mouth. Biting through the crispy outer layer, Kakashi instantly felt the locked-in juices burst in his mouth. The crispy, tender, and fresh textures mixed together, giving Kakashi an unprecedented enjoyment.

In a trance, Kakashi felt as if he had gone to an underwater world, where there was no need for training or missions, and he could swim freely every day.

“Delicious!” Kakashi said unconsciously.

When Kakashi regained his senses, he quickly looked around a few times, only to find that no one was using Ninjutsu; everyone was eating.

Kakashi admitted that he had underestimated Muzuki’s cooking skills a bit. If he had failed the training and missed out on a meal of this caliber, it would indeed have been a bit regretful.

The more Kakashi ate, the better it tasted, and the faster he ate. As he ate, his chopsticks suddenly didn’t hit anything. Kakashi then realized his lunchbox was already empty, and he was still craving more.

“I’m satisfied. No regrets today.” Obito lay on the ground, grinning foolishly.

He had received Muzuki’s praise and eaten delicious food. Aside from Rin not being there, today was perfect.

“Kakashi, you should thank me and Guy. If it weren’t for us, you would have had to slink off to buy food on the street today.” A full Obito began to bring up old scores.

“It was clearly the main body, yet you said it was a Shadow Clone, and you told us not to come out.”

“This time, my judgment was indeed mistaken, but if that really had been a Shadow Clone, your actions would have only led to the training failing.” Kakashi said.

He admitted that the Shadow Clone point was indeed a misjudgment; he was wrong, but he didn’t believe his decision was wrong.

If this were a real mission, Obito and Might Guy would only lead to the mission completely failing, losing the chance of success.

“You’re just stubborn. What kind of Ninja doesn’t act when a comrade is in danger?” Having finally caught an opportunity, Obito unleashed a fierce attack.

“No matter how many times I encounter this situation, I will only make this one choice.”

Kakashi recalled Might Guy’s kick when he stepped forward, and uncharacteristically, he didn’t immediately retort to Obito.

“You’re disobeying orders.” However, Kakashi quickly found a point to attack Obito.

Muzuki did not stop them, watching everything with a smile. Only when it was time to disband did he speak:

“Tomorrow, we will officially begin missions.”
