Chapter 541: A Big Coin Drop, S+ Draw Scroll

As the Martial Arts Tournament concluded, various news spread, and Might Guy and Obito’s Life Missions both changed.

【Name: Might Guy】

【Life Mission: Embark on the Path to the Strongest Taijutsu】

【Main Goal: Become a top-tier Ninja World expert in Taijutsu, both in strength and fame, making all Ninja aware that one can become strong without excelling in Ninjutsu】

【Mission Progress: 43.1%】

Compared to when he was on the Hidden Mist battlefield, Might Guy has made significant progress in both strength and fame.

In terms of strength, Might Guy can now steadily withstand the simultaneous activation of Eight Gates’s Fifth Gate and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, his Golden Skyline proficiency is higher, and his various Taijutsu have improved.

In terms of fame, the Youth Martial Arts Tournament made Might Guy somewhat famous throughout the Ninja World, and Ninja and Ninja forces of all sizes have come to understand Might Guy’s strength.

Although Might Guy was only in the Four Finals and not second place, his strength was widely recognized as the second strongest in the Martial Arts Tournament, the top person below Nagato.

This dual progress in strength and reputation allowed Might Guy’s Life Mission to reach settlement conditions again, and he is only 6.9% away from the next settlement, surpassing Obito’s Life Mission progress.

【Name: Uchiha Obito】

【Life Mission: It’s not that those who become Hokage are recognized by everyone, but that those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage】

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

【Mission Progress: 40%】

Although Obito also made good progress in all aspects and gained significant prestige by taking second place, due to different mission requirements, Obito’s mission progress did not increase as much as Might Guy’s this time, and Might Guy surpassed him.

Fortunately, Obito just barely reached the threshold for a settlement reward, allowing him to settle one progress reward.

Looking at this progress reward, Muzuki recalled memories from his previous life.

【Disciple Might Guy’s strength and prestige have increased, and he has made progress on the Path to the Strongest Taijutsu, receiving a progress reward — Moderate Physical Constitution Enhancement, Self-Selectable Draw Scroll Fragment · S+ (Mastery Level), Taijutsu Mastery Scroll】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito’s strength, prestige, and experience have increased, and the probability of him becoming Hokage has slightly increased, receiving a progress reward — Chakra +1600, Self-Selectable Draw Scroll Fragment · S+ (Mastery Level), Fire Release Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll】

【Draw Scroll Fragment: Collect three fragments to synthesize a complete Draw Scroll】

【Self-Selectable Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery Level): Allows selection of any type of skill for drawing】

Muzuki’s expression was somewhat subtle; seeing the word “fragment” truly made him feel a bit helpless. He transmigrated and still had to collect fragments, huh?

However, fortunately, this time, in addition to Might Guy and Obito, Kakashi’s Life Mission also changed, and it happened even earlier than theirs, right after the battle with Sasori ended.

Perhaps this battle was not as tragic as the previous encounter with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, or perhaps there were other data Muzuki didn’t notice, but this time Kakashi didn’t jump directly to 100% like last time.

【Name: Kakashi Hatake】

【Life Mission: True Power Lies in Protection】

【Main Goal: Protect your comrades, protect everything you care about】

【Mission Progress: 53% (Remaining trigger times: 3)】

Of course, fifty-something is still pretty good, allowing for one reward settlement.

【Disciple Kakashi Hatake successfully protected his comrades by bursting forth in a desperate situation, receiving a progress reward — Moderate Sword Training Experience, Self-Selectable Draw Scroll Fragment · S+ (Mastery Level), Sword Experience Scroll】

Adding the scroll produced by Kakashi’s mission, there were exactly three fragments, which could be synthesized into a complete scroll.

【Synthesis successful, item obtained — Self-Selectable Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery Level)】

Muzuki didn’t rush to use the Draw Scroll but instead looked at the rewards from the Martial Arts Tournament.

In fact, Muzuki had many ways to make money, and the reason he chose to host the Martial Arts Tournament was partly to help his disciples improve their Life Mission progress, and partly to test whether self-organized major competitions could generate rewards.

When Muzuki didn’t have much Chakra, because exams would reward Chakra, Muzuki set up many exams during training, hoping to farm rewards.

However, the system’s rewards were not that easy to get; all the small tests Muzuki set up had no effect, and only the final exam at the end of the special training settled the exam rewards.

Although that test showed that the system had almost no loopholes for farming rewards, it also showed one thing: regardless of whether Muzuki subjectively initiated the event, as long as it met the system’s criteria for awarding rewards, rewards would appear.

【Disciple Nagato diligently cultivated under your guidance and grew in strength, thus achieving a perfect result in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, receiving a reward — Chakra +2000, Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · S (Mastery Level), Combination Ninjutsu (Mastery Level)】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito diligently cultivated under your guidance and grew in strength, thus achieving an excellent result in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, receiving a reward — Chakra +1800, Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · A (Mastery Level), Fire Release · Hozuki Lantern (Mastery Level)】

【Disciple Might Guy diligently cultivated under your guidance and grew in strength, thus achieving an excellent result in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, receiving a reward — Chakra +1500, Taijutsu Draw Scroll · A (Proficient Level), Pain Sky Foot (Proficient Level)】

【Disciple Uchiha Shisui diligently cultivated under your guidance and grew in strength, thus achieving an excellent result in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, receiving a reward — Chakra +1500, Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · A (Proficient Level)】

【Disciple Kakashi Hatake diligently cultivated under your guidance and grew in strength, thus achieving a good result in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, receiving a reward — Chakra +1200, Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · B (Proficient Level)】

Since all of Muzuki’s disciples participated in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, the rewards this time were exceptionally generous; the basic Chakra rewards alone totaled a whopping eight thousand.

Nagato, who placed first, not only gave an S-rank draw reward but also dropped a Mastery Level Combination Ninjutsu for Muzuki.

The skill Combination Ninjutsu looks very simple, but it actually has a high upper limit, and its effect far exceeds ordinary Mastery Level skills.

However, Muzuki’s own Combination Ninjutsu had also been cultivated to Mastery Level, so the Mastery Level Combination Ninjutsu dropped by Nagato turned into three thousand proficiency points.

With an instant increase of three thousand proficiency points, a large amount of cultivation memories appeared in Muzuki’s mind, and his Combination Ninjutsu level significantly improved.

Muzuki suppressed the urge to test the Ninjutsu and continued to meticulously examine the rewards from each disciple.

The skills dropped by Might Guy and Obito were actually not bad, but their usefulness was limited for the current Muzuki, as he already had quite a few similar skills.

“Is the principle of obtaining rewards from competitions to pre-emptively activate the enhancement rewards?” Muzuki wondered, a guess forming in his mind as he looked at the system’s description of the rewards.

This wasn’t a baseless guess, as his disciples’ strength grew, the standard for enhancement rewards became higher and higher, and Muzuki hadn’t received any enhancement rewards from his disciples for quite some time.

Muzuki thought this was somewhat possible; perhaps the principle of obtaining rewards from exams was also this, which is why continuous exams in a short period yielded no rewards, because there wasn’t enough time for the disciples to improve.

“No matter what, getting rewards is a good thing.” Due to insufficient information, Muzuki didn’t continue to ponder further.

In any case, the outcome was that his Martial Arts Tournament was a great success; it not only solved the Shinobi Sect’s financial problems but also enhanced the Shinobi Sect’s prestige and status.

His disciples also advanced their Life Missions and generated competition rewards.

Since there were more Draw Scrolls this time, Muzuki didn’t just simply wash his hands as before; instead, he bathed, burned incense, and recited the names of various deities in his heart before starting the draw.

Although it might not be useful, performing the ritual made him feel more at ease.

Muzuki decided to draw from lowest to highest, starting with the worst B-rank Draw Scroll.

【Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · B (Proficient Level) has been used, obtaining Ninjutsu — Flying Leaf Quick Blade (Proficient Level)】

Organizing the memories in his mind, Muzuki discovered that the Grass-type skills from Pokémon had been localized by the system into Wood Release Ninjutsu.

“Is it because I possess Wood Release that I can draw related skills?” Muzuki thought to himself.

He had received Draw Scrolls before when he didn’t have a Bloodline Limit, but he had never drawn a skill that was localized as a Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu, which led to this guess.

Because according to the system’s setting, if a skill was rewarded, Muzuki would definitely be able to use it; if he didn’t meet the usage conditions, the system would forcibly enhance or grant Muzuki certain abilities.

For example, when Muzuki had not mastered Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation and was rewarded with Water Release Ninjutsu, the system would grant him a point of Nature Transformation so he could use the Ninjutsu.

Furthermore, when Muzuki obtained the Mastery Level One Thought Cut, he was rewarded with a large amount of sword experience and Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

Muzuki guessed that it was precisely for this reason that for skills related to Bloodline Limits, one must possess the corresponding Bloodline Limit to be able to draw the skill.

Otherwise, if a B-rank Draw Scroll drew a Grass-type Ninjutsu or Ice-type Ninjutsu, and thus he gained Wood Release and Ice Release, Muzuki couldn’t imagine the system being so generous.

The system was quite strict regarding Bloodline Limits; Muzuki’s current two Bloodline Limit rewards were obtained when his disciples took first place in the Chunin Exams.

Next, Muzuki used both Proficient Level A-rank Draw Scrolls at once.

【Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · A (Proficient Level) has been used, obtaining Ninjutsu — Earth Release · Earth Flow Spears (Proficient Level)】

【Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · A (Proficient Level) has been used, obtaining Ninjutsu — Water Release · Hard Whirlpool Water Blade (Proficient Level)】

This time, no skills from other worlds appeared; they were all Ninjutsu native to Naruto, and they were all good Ninjutsu, as A-rank Draw Scrolls were not low-level.

Muzuki continued to click draw.

【Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · A (Mastery Level) has been used, obtaining Ninjutsu — Flame Vortex (Mastery Level)】

The moment the draw was completed, a large amount of cultivation memories about Flame Vortex appeared in Muzuki’s mind.

The difference between Mastery Level and Proficient Level is quite significant; it only takes five hundred proficiency points to go from Beginner to Proficient Level, but three thousand points to go from Proficient to Mastery.

Muzuki nodded to himself. Since it was reality and not a turn-based combat game, the actual meaning of Flame Vortex was completely different from the game. Even in Muzuki’s eyes, it was a good Fire Release.

Having drawn all the S-rank and below, Muzuki’s gaze fell upon the S-rank draw scroll.

There was only one rank difference between A-rank and S-rank, but the gap between them was quite significant. The skills drawn from an S-rank draw scroll would be of considerable help even to the current Muzuki. As for those below S-rank, it depended on luck.

For skills like Flame Vortex, which were still somewhat useful to Muzuki, and things like Earth Rising Spear, Muzuki could only use them for teaching, as they were useless to him personally.

Ninjutsu Draw Scroll · S (Mastery Rank) has been used, obtaining Ninjutsu — Rain Prayer (Mastery Rank).

As the drawing was completed, a large amount of cultivation content related to Rain Prayer appeared one by one in Muzuki’s mind.

“Not exceptionally good, but not bad either.” Muzuki was quite satisfied with the drawing result.

Rain Prayer was a Ninjutsu similar to Great Sunny Day, but Great Sunny Day created a super sunny day to enhance Fire Release power, while Rain Prayer created rainy weather to enhance Water Release power.

Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation was Muzuki’s second most proficient Nature Transformation among all his Nature Transformations. Currently, his proficiency had reached over 10,000 in Mastery Rank, only 4,000 proficiency points away from advancing to Perfect Rank.

Moreover, Muzuki could teach Rain Prayer to Milotic to enhance Milotic and Rin Nohara’s strength.

As for why he didn’t directly teach it to Rin Nohara, it wasn’t because Rain Prayer could only be learned by Nin-Beasts. The skills drawn by the system were localized and had no such restrictions.

It was because Rin Nohara’s various stats currently did not meet the usage standards for Rain Prayer; even if she learned it, she wouldn’t be able to use it.

Muzuki also planned to teach Charizard Great Sunny Day.

Although Obito could use Great Sunny Day, learning such a complex Ninjutsu took a lot of time, and Great Sunny Day consumed a considerable amount of Chakra.

Compared to Obito using it himself, Muzuki felt it would be better for Charizard to use it.

Finally, Muzuki’s gaze settled on the highest-grade S+ draw scroll.

Muzuki had obtained the system for over three years, but had only obtained S+ draw scrolls twice so far. The first time was the 100% completion reward for Kakashi’s life mission, and the second time was now.

Although both were S+ rank draw scrolls, the one obtained this time was clearly of a higher grade.

Because the reward from Kakashi’s life mission was a Lightning Release skill draw scroll, which limited the attribute.

However, the draw scroll obtained by combining fragments this time was a self-selection, allowing him to search and choose the draw type.

Muzuki thought for a moment and finally chose Fire Release.

Currently, Might Guy had Golden Skyline, and Kakashi had One Thought Cut, while Shisui and Obito lacked powerful matching moves.

Besides considering Obito and Shisui, Muzuki also considered himself.

Muzuki had many abilities, but there were also varying levels of proficiency. For dealing with weak opponents, any ability would suffice, but the Ninja World was not without true powerhouses, so strengthening oneself was also very important.

Muzuki’s Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation was currently his only Perfect Rank Nature Transformation. If he could obtain a sufficiently powerful Fire Release skill, it would also be an improvement for Muzuki.

“Do you want to convert Self-Selection Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery Rank) into Fire Release Skill Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery Rank)?”

Muzuki clicked confirm, then clicked draw.

Fire Release Skill Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery Rank) has been consumed, obtaining Ninjutsu — Azure Flame.

Looking at where the pointer on the roulette wheel finally stopped, Muzuki recalled memories related to the skill.

This was a Fire-type skill unique to the legendary Pokémon Reshiram.

In the Pokémon games, this skill wasn’t particularly special; it was just a more powerful Fire Release skill without any special effects.

Because games consider balance, even a legendary Nin-Beast cannot have an excessively absurd statistical gap compared to regular Nin-Beasts.

But reality has no such thing as balance; strong is strong, and weak is weak.

The current Muzuki had already experienced countless skill cultivation memory infusions, and was already familiar with it, quickly completing the organization of Azure Flame.

Muzuki could only say that it truly lived up to its name as a unique skill of a legendary Pokémon. Its strength was truly beyond words, no worse than One Thought Cut, and could be said to be the ultimate Fire Release of ultimate Fire Release.

One Thought Cut not only required Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation but also a high level of swordsmanship. Azure Flame was purer, only requiring the level of Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation and practice of special Fire Release techniques.

However, this did not mean that Azure Flame was simpler than One Thought Cut. Azure Flame had higher requirements for Chakra Nature Transformation than One Thought Cut.

Based on Muzuki’s understanding of Azure Flame, Shisui and Obito would only barely meet the requirements by entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

This was after Shisui and Obito had made significant progress. If Muzuki had obtained Azure Flame during the Hidden Mist battlefield, even if Muzuki wanted to teach it, Obito and the others would only be able to watch and not learn.

Mastering so many new skills at once, including super-advanced skills like Azure Flame and Rain Prayer, even Muzuki felt a hint of fatigue.

In fact, Muzuki knew this was already the result of the system’s effect. According to the authenticity of the cultivation memories in his mind, if an ordinary person’s mind were suddenly filled with so much information, their brain would probably crash on the spot.

Muzuki had intended to find a secluded place to test the effects of his new skills, but Obito had come to the Shinobi Sect for custom Ninjutsu, so Muzuki postponed testing his skills and went to meet Obito using his alias’s face.

…

Shinobi Sect Reception Hall.

Obito, Kakashi, and Shisui were waiting for the arrival of the legendary Ninja Master, while Nagato and Yahiko were serving as Shinobi Sect Ninja for reception.

“No wonder you were confident about making it into the top two, Obito. Besides your own strength, you also contracted a powerful flying Nin-Beast.”

Since everyone was a participant in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, Yahiko chose the Martial Arts Tournament as a topic.

“Of course, I had anticipated making it into the top two early on.” Hearing Yahiko say he was strong, Obito’s face showed a smug expression.

Although he had just been boasting at the time, he was truly second now, so it wasn’t boasting then, but rather his strategic planning and confidence in his own strength.

“Yahiko, you were just unlucky to encounter that Stone Crab in the first round. Otherwise, with your strength, you would have had a chance to enter the Eight Finals.” Obito, feeling pleased, returned a compliment to Yahiko.

After all, Yahiko had praised him so much, Obito would feel a bit embarrassed not to return the favor.

“Haha, indeed, my luck was bad. Maybe meeting Sōsuke-sensei before used up all my luck for the past few years.” Yahiko scratched his head and chuckled.

Although Yahiko wasn’t confident enough to think he was guaranteed to reach the Eight Finals, his strength in the entire elimination round was indeed not at the bottom, but in the middle.

“It seems Sōsuke and the others truly hold an extraordinary place in Yahiko’s heart.” Kakashi listened to Yahiko’s words and then observed Nagato and Konan’s expressions out of the corner of his eye.

Kakashi thought for a moment and asked, “How is your Akatsuki Organization developing now? I haven’t heard much about you all lately.”

He actually thought Obito was foolish for coming to the Ninja Master to ask how to customize Ninjutsu because he didn’t know how.

Kakashi still came along, just wanting to take the opportunity to learn more about the relationship between the Akatsuki Organization and the Shinobi Sect.

According to future Yamato’s intelligence, the later Akatsuki Organization was too strong and too evil. If they could prevent the Evil Akatsuki Organization from appearing and nip it in the bud, that would be the best possible outcome.

“Huh? The Akatsuki Organization? There’s no Akatsuki Organization now, only a Shinobi Sect squad code-named Akatsuki.” Yahiko replied with a smile, without a trace of regret or sadness on his face.

Yahiko might occasionally reminisce about his time in the Akatsuki Organization, but he never regretted the Akatsuki Organization’s disappearance.

Because the Shinobi Sect was now the Akatsuki Organization of Yahiko’s dreams, how could he feel regret when he was on the path to realizing his dream?

“By the way, I’m the captain!” Yahiko burst into laughter.

Obito showed a hint of envy.

Although he was second in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, and he was a famous young genius, he had never been a captain, or even a vice-captain, so far.

Yet, Obito truly couldn’t argue, because Kakashi simply had more experience and ability.

“Damn white-haired bastard.”

Obito thought of Kakashi giving him various orders as a captain and couldn’t help but curse silently in his heart.

Kakashi remained outwardly calm, merely showing an understanding expression and nodding, but inwardly, a wave of emotion surged.

“Sure enough, the future Evil Akatsuki Organization has a great connection with the Shinobi Sect!” Kakashi thought to himself.

Now the Akatsuki Organization had disbanded and the Shinobi Sect had appeared, yet Kakashi had not received any news about the Shinobi Sect from future Yamato.

Perhaps the current situation would reverse, with the Shinobi Sect disbanding and the Evil Akatsuki Organization appearing.

It wasn’t that Kakashi liked to overthink, but that was what the current intelligence suggested.

It was known that in the future, there would be a powerful Evil Akatsuki Organization, and Nagato, one of the three founders of the Akatsuki Organization, possessed extraordinary strength. Now, the Akatsuki Organization had even disbanded and merged into the Shinobi Sect, and the Shinobi Sect even had Kakuzu, a future member of the Evil Akatsuki Organization.

Kakashi didn’t believe it if someone said the Shinobi Sect had no relation to the future Evil Akatsuki Organization.

Just then, Muzuki, transformed into his alias, walked out, attracting everyone’s attention.

PS: This chapter is 6k. Thinking about various skills really takes a lot of time, especially for someone like Xiao Ju who has decision-making difficulties.

If you have any skills you’d like to see, you can leave a comment in this chapter. I will read them, and if suitable, I will adopt them.

Try not to pick obscure ones; first, I may not have seen them, and second, some brothers might not understand them if I write about them…
