Chapter 40 Seven Attribute Ninjas (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

When he fully spread his right hand, there was only a little black ash on it, no green leaves as before, and after the wind blew the black ash away, there was nothing left.

Obito said with a triumphant smile, “Kakashi, it seems you guessed wrong.”

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, grabbed Obito’s left hand and opened it; as he expected, it was empty. He quickly figured out the whole situation after a moment of thought.

“Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation.” Kakashi looked at Obito with some surprise, not expecting Obito to have not only initially mastered Nature Transformation, but also to have the brains to set a trap for him.

While the former was somewhat bizarre, it wasn’t impossible; the latter, however, truly astonished Kakashi.

“Hahaha, Kakashi, you didn’t expect that, did you?” The smile on Obito’s face grew increasingly arrogant.

“It is a bit unexpected. It seems I’ve been slacking off recently.” Kakashi’s expression returned to calm.

Although he felt that Obito had grown a lot, Kakashi looked at Obito’s arrogant face and didn’t want to praise him at all.

“Damn it, Kakashi, what do you mean by that?” Obito was a bit displeased.

To say that losing to him was slacking off, wasn’t that implying he was very weak?

Kakashi said indifferently, “The literal meaning.”

“You…” Obito originally wanted to argue with Kakashi again, but then he thought that since his goal had been achieved, it was more important to hurry back and cultivate.

He had won against Kakashi this time, but there wouldn’t be such a tricky opportunity during the actual competition; it would be a test of raw strength.

“Forget it, I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t bother with you. Remember to sign up for the competition; you won’t go back on your word after losing, will you?” Obito said.

“I’ll honor my bet,” Kakashi replied.

He had originally felt that the competition was meaningless, but seeing Obito’s significant growth, Kakashi felt he could give it a little bit of expectation.

With their goal achieved, Rin Nohara and Obito quickly said goodbye to Kakashi and left.

“Obito, how did you do that just now? It felt really amazing.”

On their way, Rin Nohara and Obito discussed their earlier bet.

Upon receiving Rin Nohara’s praise, Obito instantly puffed up, laughing loudly, “Hahaha, it’s just Chakra Nature Transformation, it’s not that amazing…”

Due to his excessive self-satisfaction, Obito wasn’t paying attention to the road and ran headfirst into a utility pole next to Kakashi’s house.

“Damn Kakashi!” Obito believed this was caused by the location of Kakashi’s utility pole.

Kakashi, who was watching them leave: …

He retracted that tiny bit of expectation; he hadn’t changed at all, still the same clumsy self.

…

During Ninjutsu class, after Muzuki finished lecturing and demonstrating, he let the students practice on their own, telling them to ask him directly if they encountered anything they didn’t understand.

Muzuki was well aware of the gap between theory and practice.

Most of the time, the brain would indicate that it had seen and understood, and then the body would tell it that it understood nothing at all.

“I’m used to making clones look like myself; it feels so unnatural to make them look like other things,” Kotetsu Hagane said, scratching his head.

“Why don’t we ask Habsheng Sensei if he has any special techniques?” Izumo Kamizuki suggested.

Anko also nodded and said, “When you have a problem, going to Habsheng Sensei is the right thing to do.”

The three were working together to develop a new Ninjutsu, combining clones with transformation, hoping to shock the entire school in the next final exam and achieve better results.

The three reached a consensus and walked together to Muzuki, stating their problem.

Muzuki thought for a moment and then said, “You can try starting with simple objects to get yourselves familiar with the feeling, and then gradually move on to more complex ones.”

“Simple objects…” Kotetsu Hagane fell into contemplation.

Anko saw the chairs on the podium, pointed directly at a chair, and said, “Then let’s start with a chair, that’s simple enough, right?”

Kotetsu Hagane looked and nodded; the structure and shape of a chair were indeed simple enough, as it was just a combination of a few pieces of wood and a board.

So, the three began to train according to Muzuki’s suggestion, and the atmosphere in the classroom gradually became strange.

Some chairs with three legs, two legs, or even one leg appeared in the classroom.

“It seems chairs aren’t as easy as I thought,” Izumo Kamizuki said, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly. The one-legged chair was what he had transformed.

“Are you trying to make me die of laughter, Izumo?” Kotetsu Hagane immediately pointed at Izumo Kamizuki’s one-legged chair and loudly mocked him.

Kotetsu Hagane’s commotion attracted the attention of all the students in the classroom, who then burst into laughter at the sight of the strange chair.

“Isn’t your two-legged chair strange too?” Izumo Kamizuki retorted with a red face.

Everyone looked at the chair next to Kotetsu Hagane, which had one leg in the front and one in the back, both on the same side, and couldn’t help but laugh again.

“You two are no good; you have to look at me, the second-best in the grade.” Anko crossed her arms, and her chair not only had three legs but was also walking around her.

Watching this strange scene, the students in the classroom could no longer hold back their laughter. As it was nearing dismissal, the laughter even attracted students from other classes to come and watch.

Amidst the laughter, the dismissal bell rang, and Muzuki announced the end of class.

【Lecture Completed】

【Rating: A】

【Reward: Mystical Palm Technique】

A segment of memories regarding the cultivation and use of Mystical Palm Technique entered Muzuki’s mind.

“My luck is good today.” Muzuki secretly nodded when he saw that the reward was Mystical Palm Technique.

Mystical Palm Technique was not an ordinary Medical Ninjutsu; it was a considerably advanced Medical Ninjutsu, and there weren’t many Medical Ninja in all of Konoha who had mastered it.

Mystical Palm Technique could not only treat external injuries but also internal illnesses, making it very powerful in terms of healing.

With Mystical Palm Technique, Obito’s Nature Transformation training would also be safer; he could treat injuries immediately.

“Now I’ve gathered all seven attributes,” Muzuki thought to himself.

Mystical Palm Technique belongs to Yang Release Chakra Nature Transformation. Since he hadn’t mastered this attribute, the system, as usual, granted him some Nature Transformation cultivation memories.

Including the Genjutsu from Yin Release before, he had now mastered Nature Transformation of all seven attributes.

After school, Muzuki routinely took his disciples to train. After training, he did not return to the Main urban area but stayed at his residence in the South Border Forest.

Today was the day he had to report on his Root missions.

Since Shisui’s personality was inherently different from other Uchiha, Muzuki reported this truthfully. For other matters, Muzuki used a little bit of creative writing.

For example, in the Grade Level Practical Exam, Hyuga Homura’s defeat of his opponent was devastating, showcasing his genius, while Obito and Might Guy’s victories were narrow escapes, largely due to luck.

Regarding Asuma’s mission, Muzuki reported that he had successfully been recognized as a teacher by Asuma and asked if they should try to recruit Asuma into Root.

As long as Danzo wasn’t suffering from senile dementia, Muzuki believed Danzo would not give him a positive reply.

The reason for reporting this way was simply to let Danzo know that his mission was progressing well, that he had gained Asuma’s recognition, and to express his loyalty to Root.

I didn’t sleep well yesterday, attended a funeral in the morning, and caught up on sleep in the afternoon, so the update was a bit late.
