Chapter 355 Mastery-Level Wind Release

Obito, stop training for now. I have a new Ninjutsu to teach you,” Muzuki’s main body said to Obito as their training time was about to end.

He still had a Ninjutsu that was very suitable for Obito that he hadn’t taught him yet, and since he had helped Obito solve his grandmother’s medical problems today, it should be easier to get some ‘gold coins’ (rewards) from him.

“A new Ninjutsu? Great!” Obito immediately stopped training and looked at Muzuki with anticipation.

He believed the new Ninjutsu would definitely be a very powerful one. After all, he was already this strong and had various types of Fire Release. If it wasn’t strong, there would be no point in teaching it.

“This Ninjutsu is called Fire Style: Orochi Nagi,” Muzuki said.

Orochi Nagi’s full name is ‘Ura Hachijūhachi Shiki: Orochi Nagi’, a super special move from the King of Fighters Kusanagi style. After being localized into a Naruto skill, it became a rather unique Fire Release.

Then, Muzuki extended an arm, and fierce flames ignited in his palm. The moment he threw it, the flames expanded into a massive torrent, incinerating everything in front of him.

“This is a Ninjutsu without hand signs. You can use it without hand signs even without entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode,” Muzuki explained.

Obito’s eyes instantly lit up. A Ninjutsu without hand signs was great! He wouldn’t need to specially research simplification or practice one-handed hand signs. He had always thought Kakashi’s Purple Lightning was convenient and cool, and now he finally had something similar.

“This Ninjutsu also has a stronger usage, which requires entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode to strengthen the body.” After saying that, Muzuki switched his Breathing Technique and entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Incredibly fierce flames erupted from Muzuki’s entire body. Due to the high temperature of the flames, Obito, standing next to Muzuki, instantly felt a scorching heat.

But the flames on Muzuki’s body quickly converged towards his palm. The flames in Muzuki’s palm became even deeper in color due to continuous compression, and the aura they emitted became even more terrifying.

Muzuki threw the flames just like last time, and the highly compressed flames exploded instantly.

Boom!

Terrifying flames instantly enveloped the surroundings, as if to turn the area into purgatory. The ground was also blasted into a large pit by these terrifying flames, and a large amount of high-temperature flames splattered everywhere.

Muzuki waved his hand, forming a circular flame shield next to Obito to protect him from the aftermath.

When the flame shield disappeared, Obito’s eyes widened at the surrounding scenery. The area for dozens of meters around them was charred black, and there were various sized craters on the ground, as if it had been subjected to a massive Ninjutsu bombardment.

Not only was Obito, who was close by, surprised, but other disciples who were training were also startled by the commotion.

“Muzuki-sensei’s Fire Release is so powerful!” Shizune, who rarely saw Muzuki fight, was very shocked.

Shizune didn’t have much concept of Muzuki’s strength. In her mind, Muzuki’s image was mainly about his delicious Cuisine, his excellent teaching, and his sunny and gentle demeanor.

Kakashi silently sped up his sword swings. This Fire Release would probably be directed at him in the future, but the user wouldn’t be Muzuki, it would be Obito.

“Amazing!” Obito said excitedly.

Slap!

Muzuki’s finger accurately tapped Obito’s head and said, “Don’t be so happy. Your Orochi Nagi is still far from reaching this level of power.”

There were many reasons why his Orochi Nagi was so powerful. His Flame Breathing Chakra Mode was complete, and Muzuki’s Nature Transformation level was very high, and he had a lot of Chakra.

“Orochi Nagi is more suitable for close or mid-range use, and its range is much smaller than Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet,” Muzuki briefly explained the application of Orochi Nagi in combat.

“Yes, yes, Muzuki-sensei, please teach me quickly. I think this Ninjutsu is very suitable for me,” Obito nodded rapidly like a pecking chick.

“The most difficult part of Orochi Nagi is compressing the flames. The faster and more flames are compressed, the stronger the power will be,” Seeing Obito’s high enthusiasm for learning, Muzuki began his formal teaching.

【You taught your disciple Fire Style: Orochi Nagi. Due to the disciple’s immense gratitude, you received a major critical reward: Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel (Mastery Level)】

Getting a mastery-level Wind Release Ninjutsu was a small explosion of luck.

When the training time ended, Obito happily skipped home, constantly recalling Muzuki’s use of Orochi Nagi in his mind.

Due to the copying ability of his Sharingan, and Obito’s current good Fire Release level, he quickly learned Orochi Nagi, but it really couldn’t compare to Muzuki’s.

“Once I’ve mastered Orochi Nagi, I’ll definitely give Kakashi a hard time!” Obito decided to challenge Kakashi after mastering Orochi Nagi.

What Obito hadn’t quite expected was that Uchiha Yashiro came again in the evening.

“Elder Yashiro, is there something you need?” Obito opened the door and asked when he saw it was Uchiha Yashiro again.

Actually, Obito’s impression of Uchiha Yashiro was quite good. Besides the fact that he often asked him to join the Police Force, Obito thought Uchiha Yashiro was decent, and he had spoken up for him yesterday.

“Nothing much, just checking on how our Uchiha genius is training. Obito, you don’t need to be so formal, just call me Uncle,” Uchiha Yashiro said with a slight smile.

He came this time mainly because he was worried that the last Clan Meeting might have given Obito a wrong negative impression of the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Yashiro highly valued Shisui and Obito, believing them to be the hope for the Uchiha Clan’s resurgence. Therefore, he wanted to guide them correctly.

He was handling Obito, while Fugaku was handling Shisui.

“Do you want to see Ninjutsu? We’ll have to go somewhere a bit further, my grandma needs to sleep,” Obito scratched his head and said.

“Then let’s go to a further open space,” Uchiha Yashiro had no objection to this.

As they were about to leave the Uchiha Clan Compound, Obito stopped, looked at the unseen houses in the distance, and nodded in satisfaction.

Next, Obito held nothing back, directly pushing his Breathing Technique to its limit and entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode. Although it wasn’t complete, it was his strongest state.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Obito quickly formed hand signs, a large amount of Chakra condensed in his throat, then rapidly transformed into Fire Release Chakra and was exhaled.

With Obito’s effort, a massive fireball quickly formed and flew towards the front of Obito.

Boom!

The light unleashed by the exploding giant fireball dispelled the darkness, illuminating the surroundings, and making Uchiha Yashiro’s eyes grow even brighter.

Although it was just a C-rank Fire Release, the Great Fireball Technique was a Ninjutsu used by Uchiha from Jonin to Ninja Academy students. Old Uchiha could judge a Uchiha Ninja’s Fire Release level through the Great Fireball Technique.

In Uchiha Yashiro’s opinion, Obito’s Great Fireball Technique was even stronger than some Uchiha Jonin’s Great Fireball Technique. While it couldn’t be said that Obito already had the strength of a Jonin, his Fire Release level was indeed outstanding.

“Obito’s instructor is still Minato Namikaze. Minato Namikaze is Jiraiya’s disciple. If Jiraiya becomes Hokage, then Obito will become the disciple of the Hokage’s disciple, plus his sufficiently strong strength…”

The more Uchiha Yashiro thought about it, the more he felt that Obito was the hope for the Uchiha Clan’s resurgence, because Obito truly possessed some of the elements to become Hokage.

“It’s clear that you train very hard, Obito. This Fire Release has improved even more since the Chunin Exams,” Uchiha Yashiro first praised Obito.

Obito chuckled for a while but wasn’t overly pleased. He was no longer the dead last he used to be. Ever since he took first place in his year, various praises had become commonplace for him. Only praise from those he cared about would excite Obito.

“Obito, if you encounter any problems in your training or life, you can tell me, and I will find a way to help you solve them.” Then Uchiha Yashiro began to talk about the benefits; he would fully support Uchiha Obito.

“Do you have any advanced Fire Release Ninjutsu?” Obito asked curiously.

“Yes, we have even more powerful Fire Release than what I gave you last time!” Uchiha Yashiro nodded with a smile.

He was satisfied with Obito’s answer. This was how an Uchiha should be, single-mindedly striving to become stronger and climb to higher peaks.

Obito perked up. If he talked about this, he wouldn’t be sleepy. Even if he couldn’t learn it temporarily, he could give it to Muzuki, and then Muzuki could teach him later.

“Don’t worry too much about the Clan Meeting. Actually, those who opposed you were also doing it for your own good, though their words were a bit intense.” Finally, Uchiha Yashiro began to earnestly tell Obito about the difficulties faced by Uchiha Ninja.

“I was also doing it for their good,” Obito said, scratching his hair.

“My point is that everyone is Uchiha, so we should be more tolerant and understanding of each other. Clan members are the ones we should rely on the most,” Uchiha Yashiro continued.

Obito felt that Uchiha Yashiro was talking nonsense. When he was the dead last, he didn’t see Uchiha Tekka come out to speak up for him. Instead, it was Muzuki who helped him shed his dead-last status and become a genius like Kakashi.

“Forget it, I’ll put up with it for the sake of the Ninjutsu.” Because there were benefits, Obito decided to endure for now.

Next, Obito pretended to listen to Uchiha Yashiro, but in reality, he was constantly thinking about his Orochi Nagi training.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Uchiha Yashiro showed a sincere smile. He had successfully guided another Uchiha, and a genius Uchiha at that.

Shisui had a similar encounter, but Fugaku’s methods were slightly different from Uchiha Yashiro’s.

When Fugaku visited, he didn’t directly bring up the Clan Meeting. Instead, he chatted with Shisui about various mundane matters, like a true uncle, and then slowly led the conversation to the Clan Meeting.

“That was indeed my mistake, but I hope, Shisui, that you won’t misunderstand the Clan Meeting because of it,” Fugaku said with a sincere expression.

He had great expectations for Shisui, hoping Shisui could become the next Uchiha Kagami, or even surpass Uchiha Kagami.

“Uncle Fugaku, please rest assured, I understand,” Shisui replied calmly.

He had already realized that only by having the strength to establish himself within the Uchiha Clan would it be the right time for him to propose reforms.

Today’s total is 7k. I will continue to work hard tomorrow to see if I can get more.
