Chapter 485: Training Gains

As Might Guy unleashed his immense power, a massive whirlwind appeared out of nowhere, gradually forming a thick, green giant dragon.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

In an instant, the strong winds howled, as if even the air was torn apart by this force. The storm dragon’s powerful cutting ability instantly ripped and severed all the trees around Might Guy, sending wood chips and yellow sand flying everywhere.

“You’re still too green to use my moves against me.”

“Leaf Dragon God!”

Seeing this, Teacher Chen immediately gathered a large amount of Chakra and unleashed the Leaf Dragon God.

His not-so-tall body erupted with terrifying power, and the high-speed rotation generated countless wind blades that destroyed everything around him.

Amidst the falling trees and howling hurricane, an even larger greenish-blue giant dragon appeared.

Watching the two giant dragons wreak havoc in the forest, Ebisu and Shiranui Genma instinctively took a few steps back.

Even though they had witnessed Might Guy grow stronger step by step to this point, seeing such an exaggerated battle scene, they still found it hard to imagine that one of the Ninja fighting was their peer.

As time passed, the gap between them did not shrink but grew wider. In the Ninja Academy, at most, they just couldn’t defeat Might Guy. Now, even the aftermath of the battle could injure them.

Rumble!!!

The two greenish-blue giant dragons collided. Their powerful sharpness met in an incredibly fierce impact. The ground couldn’t withstand this terrifying force, and a series of explosions rang out, leaving the ground covered in cutting marks.

Might Guy exerted all his strength, trying to overpower Teacher Chen with absolute force.

But Teacher Chen, as the Ninja with the title of Konoha’s strongest Taijutsu user, his strength was not just for show. Even with Might Guy’s full effort, he couldn’t break through with brute force.

Moreover, Teacher Chen was, after all, the creator of the Leaf Dragon God. His understanding of the Leaf Dragon God far surpassed Might Guy’s.

Despite being a massive green dragon, Teacher Chen used it with incredible flexibility, giving Might Guy a real eye-opener.

Bang!

Teacher Chen seized the perfect moment and struck directly at the core of Might Guy’s Leaf Dragon God. Under the powerful impact, Might Guy couldn’t maintain his Leaf Dragon God and was sent flying backward.

Even though Might Guy was in Rock Breathing Chakra Mode and used Chakra to defend against the attack, Teacher Chen’s swift assault still left him with many injuries.

“If Leaf Dragon God isn’t enough, then I’ll just have to use Teacher Muzuki’s Taijutsu.” Might Guy decided to use Golden Skyline.

If possible, he would have preferred to defeat Teacher Chen with the Taijutsu Teacher Chen taught him, considering it an answer sheet for Teacher Chen’s two years of guidance.

However, Might Guy would not insist on only fighting Teacher Chen with the Taijutsu he taught. He preferred to go all out in battle.

“Golden Skyline!”

Might Guy pushed his breathing to the extreme, maximizing his strength, then channeled all that power into his index and middle fingers, finally transforming into a green light that fiercely charged forward.

“This move, indeed, it’s a Taijutsu that surpasses Leaf Dragon God.” Teacher Chen, noticing Might Guy’s movements, immediately became vigilant.

As Might Guy’s instructor, he was very familiar with some of the Taijutsu Might Guy had mastered.

Golden Skyline was Might Guy’s strongest Taijutsu, and also what Teacher Chen considered Konoha’s strongest Taijutsu.

Based on his understanding of Konoha’s Taijutsu, there wouldn’t be any Taijutsu stronger than Golden Skyline in all of Konoha.

Golden Skyline had immense power, and combined with the fact that it was performed by the young and powerful Might Guy, Teacher Chen’s first thought wasn’t how to block it, but how to dodge it.

Decades of experience quickly led Teacher Chen to a countermeasure. Under Teacher Chen’s control, the giant dragon, constantly emitting strong winds, advanced towards Might Guy, seemingly intending to meet Might Guy head-on in a test of strength.

A hint of excitement flashed in Might Guy’s eyes, and the smile on his face grew wider.

While charging, the excited Might Guy used his left hand in a drawing-sword motion to guide his right hand in a smooth slash forward, extending it straight out to form a thin line parallel to the ground, then rapidly swung his fingers towards the green giant dragon in front of him.

But at this crucial moment, Teacher Chen suddenly changed his move.

The green giant dragon disappeared, and all the powerful strong winds surrounding Teacher Chen rushed outwards, causing a slight deviation in Might Guy’s movement.

Immediately after, Teacher Chen bent down without hesitation and rolled to his left.

Teacher Chen had studied Golden Skyline. Although this Taijutsu was powerful, it didn’t have a large attack range like Leaf Dragon God.

So Teacher Chen first created the illusion of a head-on collision to lull Might Guy, then used the power of the Leaf Dragon God to a certain extent to hinder Might Guy’s attack, and finally completed the dodge by surprise.

A hint of surprise flashed across Might Guy’s face as his attack missed. He hadn’t expected Teacher Chen to dodge instead of colliding head-on.

Teacher Chen didn’t give Might Guy time to reflect. He immediately followed up with a whirlwind kick, sending Might Guy stumbling back several meters.

Then, Teacher Chen pressed his advantage, rapidly throwing punches at Might Guy. The attacks were as fierce as a torrential storm, making it difficult for even Might Guy to resist.

Afterward, Might Guy was forced to switch from offense to defense, and he no longer had the strength to counterattack.

He had opened the Four Gates, entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, and used super high-level Taijutsu like Leaf Dragon God and Golden Skyline. Might Guy’s stamina and Chakra were severely depleted.

“Teacher Chen wins.” Finally, Ebisu announced Might Guy’s defeat.

“Although Guy is strong, it’s still very difficult to defeat Teacher Chen,” Shiranui Genma sighed.

Actually, Shiranui Genma couldn’t quite understand the battle between Might Guy and Teacher Chen anymore. He could only judge strength based on the final outcome.

“Your foundations are very solid, but you still need to accumulate more combat experience and practice various Taijutsu more,” Teacher Chen said as he helped Might Guy up.

By the standard of an ordinary eleven-year-old Ninja, Might Guy’s combat experience and various Taijutsu techniques were already top-notch, not a weakness.

However, compared to Might Guy’s physique and Chakra, his combat experience and Taijutsu techniques lagged far behind.

“Today, I’ll run another five hundred laps around Konoha!” Might Guy nodded in acceptance and chose to add extra training for himself.

Might Guy was not someone who liked to make excuses for himself. If he lost, he lost. What he needed to do was continue to get stronger and then win.

…

【Name: Might Guy】

【Life Mission: Walk the Path of the Strongest Taijutsu】

【Main Objective: Become a top-tier Ninja World expert in Taijutsu, both in strength and reputation, letting all Ninja know that one can become strong even without proficiency in Ninjutsu】

【Mission Progress: 29.9%】

While regularly checking his disciples’ life mission progress, Muzuki discovered that Might Guy’s life mission was close to reaching a settlement node, only 0.1% away from unlocking the progress reward.

Muzuki closed the panel and went to the Training Ground to begin another day of Anbu instruction.

Being 0.1% short didn’t require going out on missions for experience. Might Guy would reach it after cultivating for a period on his own.

For the new week, Muzuki slightly modified the course content. Monday and Thursday were changed to practicing Nature Transformation and Ninjutsu, while other times were still dedicated to practicing Darkness Breathing Technique.

Muzuki brought out the Five Great Nature Ninjutsu he had developed for instruction.

However, he didn’t directly bring out B-rank Ninjutsu. Instead, he first taught them C-rank Five Great Ninjutsu.

B-rank Ninjutsu, in Konoha’s Ninjutsu ranking, was already considered high-level Ninjutsu, and learning it was not easy.

To accommodate most people, Muzuki started by teaching C-rank Ninjutsu, so that subsequent learning of the upgraded B-rank Ninjutsu would be much faster.

【Completed one intermediate lecture】

【Rating: S】

【Reward: Chakra Nature Transformation understanding increased, Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation +25, Earth Release Chakra Nature Transformation +24, Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation +15, Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation +9, Great Fireball Technique +35…】

After completing a day’s lecture, the panel promptly gave out rewards.

Muzuki opened his attribute panel and took a look. Wood Release and Ice Release each increased by more than twenty points in proficiency.

【Skills: Ice Release (Proficient: 1740/3000) Wood Release (Proficient: 1042/3000)】

Since he frequently used Ice Release Ninjutsu on the Hidden Mist battlefield, his Ice Release proficiency increased significantly. As for Wood Release, it was much less; besides the sharp increase to one thousand points in the proficient level when using Nature Transformation experience scrolls, it only increased by forty-two points afterward.

Muzuki made a quick estimate. With the lecture rewards and the final promotion rewards at the end of the cultivation, it should be no problem to raise both Ice Release and Wood Release to the master level, though the proficiency wouldn’t be very high.

After finishing, Muzuki went to Tsunade’s house to cook.

“Teacher Muzuki, Lady Tsunade, I’ve successfully been promoted to Jonin!” Rin Nohara entered Tsunade’s house with a beaming smile, sharing the good news.

Rin Nohara was very grateful to Muzuki and Tsunade. If it weren’t for their combined help in her special training, she would have found it difficult to achieve promotion so quickly.

“That’s great. Shizune, you should learn from her too. Rin isn’t your peer, is she? I’m not asking for too much from you, just become a Jonin before the end of this year.” Tsunade nodded in response, then turned to Shizune and said.

Shizune was a little surprised that Tsunade would actually care about her Ninja rank. She realized Tsunade cared about her so much.

Shizune’s heart immediately warmed, and she thought that even if her strength wasn’t great, she must work hard to become a Jonin as soon as possible.

“The mission fees a Jonin can earn are incomparable to a Chunin’s. I haven’t gambled to my heart’s content in a long time.”

Upon hearing Tsunade’s words, Shizune’s warmed heart instantly froze, and she looked at Tsunade speechless.

“Rin, this is your Jonin gift.” Muzuki found an opportunity to slip away, then retrieved the Pokémon Egg and handed it to Rin Nohara.

This last Pokémon Egg was the one extracted from Obito’s Jonin reward.

Rin Nohara carefully took the large egg, thanking Muzuki with a sincere expression.

The reason she worked so hard was, on one hand, to become stronger and play a greater role in battle, and on the other hand, she was looking forward to her Jonin gift.

After all, who could refuse a cute Nin-Beast? While Katsuyu was useful, calling it cute was a bit of a stretch.
