Chapter 352: Life Mission Rewards

【Disciples Uchiha Obito and Kakashi Hatake worked hard to complete the commissioned mission, gaining growth rewards: Chakra +680. Led by the teacher personally, bonus reward: Chakra +340】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito’s strength has improved, reputation has risen, qualifications have increased, and the probability of becoming Hokage has slightly increased. Gained progress reward — Chakra +1000, Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Song Technique (Mastery Level)】

Returning home that night, Muzuki began to organize the gains from this mission.

First were the growth rewards from the mission. The two disciples combined for a total of 1,020, a reward that met Muzuki’s expectations. After all, the disciples didn’t have much of a presence in this mission; if he hadn’t let Fūka Dotō go at the end, there might not have been even that much.

Then came the first settlement of Obito’s life mission.

【Name: Uchiha Obito】

【Life Mission: It is not the person who becomes Hokage who is recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone who becomes Hokage】

【Main Goal: Become the Hokage of the Konoha Ninja Village】

【Mission Progress: 12.3%】

Before the mission started, Muzuki had checked the progress of Obito’s life mission, which was at 9.8%. Muzuki had originally expected it to reach 10%. After all, before they set off, he hadn’t expected that Fūka Dotō was already plotting a usurpation, which turned their mission of protecting the princess into suppressing a rebellion.

The rewards from the first settlement made Muzuki look forward to future settlement rewards even more. A 10% settlement already yielded a mastery-level skill, plus a magical item like the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll. Surely the rewards for higher progress later would be even better.

Muzuki clicked on the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll. This was undoubtedly the best of the three rewards, a reward that couldn’t be obtained under normal circumstances.

A selection box quickly popped up on the panel.

【Upgradable Option: Byakugan】

Muzuki fell into thought. He had previously received a Byakugan purity enhancement reward, so it seemed these two rewards might be similar. The only difference was that one could only enhance the Byakugan, while the other could be chosen at will.

Muzuki chose the only option, Byakugan. He was quite satisfied with the Byakugan, so he didn’t plan to save this reward for later.

As the scroll was used, a strange feeling rose within Muzuki’s body.

Because of the existence of the Transparent World, Muzuki understood his body extremely well, so he instantly perceived an unknown but benign change occurring within him.

Muzuki’s most intuitive feeling was that his Chakra limit had increased slightly. Opening the panel, he saw a small increase of 1,000.

【Name: Hayate Mugetsu】

【Chakra: 84300】

Muzuki suddenly thought of something and immediately consumed Chakra to use a Shadow Clone, then began refining Chakra again.

Once he started refining Chakra, a smile appeared on Muzuki’s face. His Chakra recovery speed had increased!

Compared to the increase in Chakra, the improvement in recovery speed was much more significant. Muzuki made a rough comparison and found it had increased by a full quarter.

Although the Chakra recovery speed still didn’t quite match his total Chakra amount, it was much better than before.

Next, Muzuki activated his Byakugan and looked around. He saw Tsunade walking with Shizune. After estimating the distance, Muzuki discovered that his range of vision had increased significantly.

Based on the sensation in his mind, Muzuki silently channeled more Chakra into his Byakugan, then looked at the glass on his table.

As the Chakra was injected, an aura rose from Muzuki’s body. Under Muzuki’s gaze, the glass quickly developed cracks and then shattered.

Muzuki wore a thoughtful expression. Ordinary Hyuga Byakugan didn’t have this ability; he felt as if he were evolving towards an Ōtsutsuki Byakugan.

However, Muzuki felt there was still a long way to go. For instance, with that new ability, the Chakra consumed on the Byakugan could have been used on his fist to blast apart a rock with a single punch. Compared to abilities like long-distance vision and X-ray vision, the cost-effectiveness was truly a bit low.

In addition to the system rewards, Muzuki also had some tangible gains, such as two sets of Chakra armor—one worn by the leader of the Snow Ninja, and the other from the Snow Ninja Village laboratory.

Unfortunately, the strength of the Chakra armor was a bit disappointing. Muzuki tried wearing it and found that the reinforcement effect on him was almost negligible unless he specifically used very little Chakra to perform Ninjutsu. Muzuki planned to study the Snow Ninja’s data and try to develop it himself to see if he could create the external power bank he wanted.

In fact, Muzuki had considered whether to hand the Chakra armor over to Konoha for research, as that would certainly be faster than him doing it alone.

But there was a problem with this. Although the Chakra armor was useless to Muzuki, it provided improvements for ordinary Jonin and even elite Jonin. However, the special ore used to manufacture the Chakra armor was currently only available in the Land of Snow, and even the Land of Snow didn’t have much of it.

Once he spread the word, it was hard to say about Hiruzen Sarutobi, but Muzuki didn’t believe Danzo would honestly spend a large sum of money to buy it. The Shinobi World War was ongoing, and Konoha had high expenses in all aspects.

If this news were to spread to the Ninja World, Muzuki could say that the Land of Snow would definitely suffer. Kumogakure, which loved to snatch things, was the major power closest to the Land of Snow.

Considering those implications, Muzuki decided to conduct the research himself for the time being. He had asked Fūka Sōsetsu for quite a lot of ore, enough for him to research for a long time.

Aside from the Chakra armor, the gains from the Land of Snow were just some miscellaneous rewards, which didn’t hold much significance for Muzuki.

However, the rewards from Konoha were quite good. Muzuki looked at the three scrolls on the table.

Although Muzuki only asked for the Flying Thunder God, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Muzuki three Ninjutsu. The other two Ninjutsu were Water Release: one was Water Severing Wave, and the other was Water Tears.

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s explanation was that it was an extra reward because Muzuki had made significant contributions to the Ninja Academy.

Muzuki naturally liked things he got for free. Although he had already mastered Water Severing Wave to the proficiency level, this was, after all, a super high-level Water Release developed by Senju Tobirama. Without a proper source, Muzuki really couldn’t easily use it.

Because he had obtained the Flying Thunder God, Muzuki didn’t study Sealing Technique or develop the Breathing Technique that night, but instead spent the whole night studying the Flying Thunder God.

“Is the Flying Thunder God too difficult, or do I lack talent for space-time Ninjutsu?” Muzuki thought while holding the Flying Thunder God scroll.

For Muzuki, as long as he could get started, everything would be fine. But he had practiced all night and didn’t see the proficiency of the Flying Thunder God on his panel.

Before going to sleep, he read it a few more times and then closed his eyes. When Obito and the others practiced the Breathing Technique, it also took several days before proficiency appeared. It was normal for difficult Ninjutsu to be hard to gain proficiency in.

Muzuki set a timeline for himself: for these ten days, he would spend all his time every night learning the Flying Thunder God. If there was still no proficiency after ten days, he would spend one-third of his time practicing the Flying Thunder God. If there was still no proficiency after a month, then he would stop practicing it.

The Flying Thunder God was an improvement for him, but not a qualitative one. It could only be said that having the Flying Thunder God would be very convenient.

…

“Teacher Muzuki, is there anything dirty on me?” Rin Nohara looked down, checking her clothes.

“No, you don’t need to be so nervous. Didn’t you already meet her once last time?” Muzuki replied with a smile.

When he was testing his Byakugan abilities, he accidentally discovered that Tsunade had returned to the village. In order to help Rin Nohara grow better, Muzuki decided to ask Tsunade to teach Rin Nohara for a period of time.

Although he had teaching skills that could accelerate the disciples’ learning speed, Muzuki was, after all, a transmigrator. There was a lot of medical knowledge in the Ninja World that he didn’t know, and as the current strongest medical Ninja in the Ninja World, Tsunade was far ahead in this regard.

“After all, it is Lady Tsunade.” With Muzuki’s reassurance, Rin Nohara relaxed and then showed an expression of longing.

Tsunade was truly Rin Nohara’s ideal self: powerful in Medical Ninjutsu while also possessing considerable combat ability, not dragging others down in battle.

Before she knew Muzuki, Rin Nohara already admired Tsunade very much. So, even though she had already had a meal with Tsunade brought by Muzuki, Rin Nohara was still a little nervous.

“If everything goes smoothly, you will see her often for a long time to come.” Muzuki said with a chuckle.

Rin Nohara nodded with anticipation. Although she also liked Muzuki very much, learning from an idol was a different feeling.

Muzuki skillfully led Rin Nohara to Tsunade’s courtyard.

“Lady Tsunade, are you home?” Muzuki knocked on the door and asked.

The door was opened quickly, but it wasn’t Tsunade; it was Shizune.

“Teacher Muzuki.” Shizune greeted Muzuki with a pleasant surprise.

Muzuki nodded in response with a gentle smile, seeing Tsunade lying on the sofa without any decorum.

“Did Lady Tsunade work very late yesterday? She looks so tired.” Rin Nohara asked in confusion when she saw Tsunade inside.

“Uh, this… well.” Shizune hesitated and finally decided to help Tsunade say something nice.

She felt this was good for both sides: Tsunade’s reputation would be preserved, and Rin Nohara wouldn’t be disillusioned with her idol.

“You’re back from your mission. It’s perfect; I wanted to eat Beggar’s Chicken today.” Tsunade wanted to order a dish.

After returning from the capital of the Land of Fire, she didn’t even go back to her own home and went directly to find Muzuki with Shizune, only to find that Muzuki had gone on a mission.

“Beggar’s Chicken is no problem. I’ll have my Shadow Clone go buy the ingredients in a moment.” Muzuki agreed with a nod, then took Rin Nohara and sat down on the sofa next to Tsunade.

Rin Nohara’s presence didn’t make Tsunade change her behavior; she was still lying on the sofa with her limbs spread out. She didn’t care about things like image anymore.

“As expected of Lady Tsunade, even with her current status, she still works hard every day.” Looking at Tsunade’s state, Rin Nohara imagined Tsunade working late into the night.

Shizune quickly brewed the tea and brought it to the table, pouring a cup for each of the three.

“Lady Tsunade, do you remember the matter I mentioned to you before?” Muzuki took the teacup, thanked her softly, and then brought up the issue of Rin Nohara’s learning.

“Learning from me for a while, right?” Tsunade recalled and then replied.

Muzuki had told her about it when the Chunin Exams ended, but she had something to do and went out at that time, so it was postponed.

“Let me first see what level she has learned from you.” Tsunade didn’t agree immediately but adjusted her posture slightly and asked Shizune to catch a live fish in the courtyard.

Then, Tsunade casually took out a Kunai and made a long, narrow bloodstain on the fish, placing the fish in front of Rin Nohara.

“Try using your Medical Ninjutsu to heal it.” Tsunade said with her arms crossed.

Rin Nohara nodded and stretched out her hands. Green healing light soon bloomed in Rin Nohara’s hands. Under the treatment of the Mystical Palm Technique, the fish’s wound healed rapidly, not even leaving a scar, as if it had never been injured.

But Tsunade’s test didn’t end there. She then tested Rin Nohara’s detoxification ability and the limits of her healing.

The continuous testing consumed a lot of Chakra for Rin Nohara. She panted slightly, feeling a bit uneasy in her heart, not knowing if her performance could meet Tsunade’s expectations.

She had only been a Ninja for a few months and had always learned from Muzuki. She hadn’t communicated with other medical Ninjas, so she didn’t know if her current level among her peers was average or excellent.

“Little Rin’s talent in Medical Ninjutsu is quite good, and she is also very diligent in her usual studies.” After the test, Muzuki praised.

Rin Nohara became slightly more confident and subconsciously looked at Tsunade.

“I can tell. It’s rare to see such a level of Medical Ninjutsu at this age.” Tsunade acknowledged Rin Nohara’s Medical Ninjutsu.

In the field of Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade believed that no one in the Ninja World could understand it better than her.

Moreover, it wasn’t as if Tsunade had never taught anyone before. A simple comparison could yield results. She had also been teaching Shizune Medical Ninjutsu for almost a year, but Shizune’s current Medical Ninjutsu was not as good as Rin Nohara’s.

Shizune and Rin Nohara graduated in the same period. There were generally two possibilities for this situation: either Rin Nohara’s Medical Ninjutsu talent was too high, or Muzuki taught better than her.

If it were before she met Muzuki, Tsunade would definitely think Rin Nohara’s talent was too strong, but now, Tsunade couldn’t say for sure.

Rin Nohara couldn’t help but show an excited smile; being praised by her idol was truly worth being happy about.

“By the way, you should have also learned the Super Strength from Muzuki. Use it and let me see.” Tsunade thought of Rin Nohara’s performance in the Chunin Exams and said.

Rin Nohara agreed quickly, but the Super Strength was obviously not suitable to be performed inside the house. The group went to the courtyard together.

Under Tsunade’s gaze, Rin Nohara took a deep breath, concentrated her Chakra in her hands, and then erupted instantly.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the ground attacked by Rin Nohara cracked directly, and the ground within a four-meter radius was full of cracks.

Shizune’s small mouth opened slightly. This was the first time she had seen the destructive power of the Super Strength; Tsunade hadn’t used it in front of her.

This impact was too strong. Even though she had a similar figure to her, Rin Nohara could actually smash the ground with one punch.

“Well done, Muzuki, it really is exactly the same as my Super Strength.” Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said.

Rin Nohara didn’t quite understand why Tsunade suddenly mentioned Muzuki and stood there in a daze.

However, Tsunade’s fuse was really too short. Muzuki saw it at a glance and asked directly: “Just tell me what dish you want to eat.”

“Add a Spicy Chicken tonight!” Tsunade answered in seconds.
