Chapter 62: Forever Friday (Please support with reads!)

“Obito, have you encountered something good recently? You seem to be in a very good mood?” Rin Nohara asked curiously, seeing that Obito was exceptionally happy today.

“Of course, it’s because good days are coming,” Obito said with a chuckle.

Although the number of questions seemed to increase after the combat rules changed, there was training to offset it. Also, with questions done in installments, the actual number of questions done each day hadn’t changed much.

Now that he was gradually getting stronger, there were fewer and fewer questions, and with the offsets and installments, good days were indeed coming.

“Obito, you finally remembered the date! Do you want to go out and play together tomorrow?” Rin Nohara thought Obito was referring to the weekend when he said ‘good days,’ so she invited him.

“Date? Go out and play together tomorrow?” Obito’s expression was a bit confused, and then he thought of a terrifying possibility.

“Is today Friday again?” Obito asked Rin Nohara.

“Yes, it is. Don’t tell me the good days you mentioned aren’t the weekend?” Rin Nohara nodded and then asked.

Obito fell silent. He felt like yesterday was Sunday, so how could it be Friday again today?

In a daze, Obito remembered that he had experienced this scenario several times already.

“Am I stuck in a world with only Fridays and weekends?” Obito held his head, unable to accept the truth.

“Obito, what’s wrong? You look really distressed.” Rin Nohara was a bit confused.

How could any student look pained when the weekend arrived? Isn’t having a holiday a good thing?

“Because I love school and studying too much, so it’s very difficult for me to think about not being able to go to school,” Obito explained forcefully.

Obito would never tell Rin Nohara the embarrassing fact that he was afraid of accumulating a pile of questions over the weekend and not being able to finish them.

“So Obito, you’re really that fond of studying?” Rin Nohara was a little surprised, feeling that this might be related to Obito’s progress this semester.

“So, do you still want to go out and play tomorrow?” Rin Nohara asked.

“Let’s go tonight!” Obito replied.

After the rules changed, he really didn’t have the energy to play on weekends.

During the day, he was almost entirely training and doing questions, and by night, he didn’t even want to move.

Every time he thought of Might Guy still practicing on his own after training, Obito felt his scalp tingle. What kind of body and will was that?

“Doesn’t Guy get tired?” Obito looked at Might Guy, who was doing questions with his head down, wondering to himself.

“I hope there are installments for the weekend too,” Obito thought of yesterday, then silently prayed to the kind Muzuki Sage in his heart.

After school, Obito went to the training ground as usual; he was the last one to arrive.

Muzuki called the three of them together and then assigned tasks.

“Guy, kick that tree with all your might,” Muzuki said, casually pointing to a lush tree.

Might Guy nodded, walked to the tree, and directly unleashed his Chakra, kicking out a rapid whirlwind kick.

Crack!

The tree snapped and fell in response, directly broken by Might Guy’s kick.

“My strength can already kick down a big tree!” Might Guy was a little surprised.

He thought it was cool when he saw Muzuki quickly kick down a big tree, and he didn’t expect to be able to do it so soon.

Next, Muzuki created a large pit with Ninjutsu, then filled the pit with Water Release, and said to Obito:

“Obito, use Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique with all your might to attack the pit.”

Obito followed Muzuki’s instructions, began to form hand seals, and then spat out a giant fireball, instantly evaporating all the water in the pit, leaving only scorched earth.

“This is the power of the Fire Release I released!” Obito’s eyes widened. This was a pit several meters wide.

Three months ago, his small fireball couldn’t even evaporate a half-meter pit.

Then Muzuki also had them revisit a series of training exercises, such as tree climbing and water walking.

Obito suddenly realized he had truly become much stronger. Those water walking trainings that once made him extremely flustered, he could now run around on the water casually without being knocked over by waves.

He could comfortably walk up even the tallest trees, easily melt ice blocks the size of two human heads, and perform Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique with ease.

Finally, Muzuki gave Obito and Might Guy a mock exam.

“Sixty points? Is this the score I got?” Obito’s expression was even more surprised when he saw the score on the test paper than when he had just seen the Fire Release evaporate the pit.

Getting thirty points on the last exam was a first, but sixty points was an unprecedentedly high score.

“Fifty-four points!” Might Guy held the test paper, tears of emotion streaming down his face.

He felt the same as Obito: it was too high, almost unrealistically high.

Obito couldn’t help but ask, “Muzuki-sensei, you’re not really the Six Paths Sage, are you?”

So much hard work had not been in vain; everything had paid off.

Nature Transformation, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Chakra control, and even theoretical scores—Obito felt that he had become stronger in all aspects, much stronger.

At this moment, Obito felt that doing questions every day and training all day on weekends didn’t matter anymore, because he had gained too much.

If he continued like this, he might really be able to become the Hokage of Konoha.

“Speaking so nicely, do you want interest-free payments today too?” Muzuki asked with a smile.

“Hehe, it would be best if it could be interest-free tomorrow too,” Obito said with a simple smile.

Although he felt that doing questions wasn’t a big deal now, it was still better to do less if possible.

“Dream on. The special benefit was only for yesterday,” Muzuki said, tapping Obito’s head with two fingers together.

The reason for suddenly conducting this training summary was to let his disciples see their own progress, thereby motivating them to train even harder.

Timely positive feedback was very important, and Muzuki planned to hold such a training summary periodically.

With his disciples’ spirits lifted, Muzuki didn’t waste the opportunity and directly gave them the calligraphy he usually wrote.

【You gifted your disciple Uchiha Obito a piece of your personal calligraphy. Due to the disciple’s immense gratitude, the reward was a critical hit, granting you Earth Release: Earth Spear (Proficient level)】

A large amount of experience regarding the Earth Release: Earth Spear appeared in Muzuki’s mind, and he instantly grasped various practical uses for this Ninjutsu in combat.

Muzuki nodded to himself, feeling that this reward was good.

This was a very practical Earth Release Ninjutsu that could harden any part of the body. It could be said to be both offensive and defensive, extremely practical.

Whether it was for defense when an opponent was close or for hardening the attacking part during an offense, it was very useful.

“Never forget your original intention?” Obito pondered for a while but couldn’t come up with any special meaning, so he eventually chose not to think about it.

“Heaven rewards the diligent.” Might Guy scratched his head, vaguely understanding the meaning, and smiled.

Even without this training summary, he was still full of motivation.

“Those who follow the Dao gain much support; those who stray from it gain little support…” Shisui also couldn’t quite understand the meaning Muzuki’s calligraphy wanted to convey.

What is a follower of the Dao and what is one who strays from it?
