Chapter 700: Exchange Meeting

【Synthesis Successful, Obtained Item — Random Skill Draw Scroll · S+ (Mastery)】

After synthesizing the fragments into a complete scroll, Muzuki, as usual, prepared for the draw.

He carefully washed his hands, reciting the names of all the gods and buddhas during the process.

A random draw scroll required more luck than a self-selection scroll. Although an S+ draw scroll wouldn’t yield useless skills, all types were random, so it wasn’t guaranteed to draw a skill useful to Muzuki.

For example, if he already had a powerful Fire Release skill like Azure Flame, another flame skill wouldn’t be of much significance to Muzuki.

He mentally clicked on the Random Skill Draw Scroll in his inventory, then clicked confirm to draw.

Instantly, a giant roulette appeared before Muzuki’s eyes. Through the roulette, Muzuki could see numerous abilities from various worlds: the Conqueror’s Haki from the One Piece world, Cross Lightning from the pokémon world, Cursed Techniques from the Jujutsu Kaisen world, and…

There were many powerful skills, but unfortunately, Muzuki could only take one.

As the roulette’s pointer changed speed, it finally stopped on a skill with multiple dragon-shaped icons.

【Random Skill Draw Scroll · S+ has been consumed, Obtained Skill — Five Dragons Turns to Destruction (Mastery)】

As the skill draw was completed, a flood of cultivation memories surged into Muzuki’s mind. In just an instant, Muzuki mastered the powerful Ninjutsu known as Five Dragons Turns to Destruction.

After organizing the information in his mind, Muzuki showed an expression of interest.

He was not unfamiliar with this skill. Five Dragons Turns to Destruction belonged to the Kido of the Shinigami world, and more specifically, it was a Hado aimed at attack and destruction.

After its localization in the Ninja World, Five Dragons Turns to Destruction retained a similar characteristic to its original world: extreme destruction.

Five Dragons Turns to Destruction had no Nature Transformation, only Chakra form transformation.

But Five Dragons Turns to Destruction had a very powerful effect: it could draw in surrounding natural energy!

In the area affected by Five Dragons Turns to Destruction, the ground would shake and collapse, lightning would strike from the sky, and gentle breezes would turn into storms. Under powerful Chakra and various natural disasters, everything within the Ninjutsu’s range would be destroyed.

From Muzuki’s experience, Five Dragons Turns to Destruction was a skill for dealing with weaker opponents.

At his level, unless it was an apocalypse-level natural disaster, it wouldn’t have much impact. Even with the Chakra dragons of Five Dragons Turns to Destruction itself, the output ceiling wouldn’t be particularly high; it just had a very large range.

Muzuki thought this skill would be very useful for clearing fodder, even stronger than Wood Release: World of Trees.

For a Ninja squad of two to three thousand people, Muzuki could use one Five Dragons Turns to Destruction, and they might all be dead in half a minute.

This efficiency in clearing fodder was quite exaggerated, considering that even Iwagakure, which had a relatively large number of Ninja, only had a little over ten thousand Ninja.

“Directly controlling natural energy with Chakra to enhance Ninjutsu.” Muzuki showed a thoughtful expression.

A highly efficient skill for clearing fodder was insignificant to Muzuki, but the localized effect of Five Dragons Turns to Destruction gave Muzuki new ideas for developing Ninjutsu.

Natural energy is an external force. Introducing external force into the body to synthesize Senjutsu Chakra results in Sage Mode.

So, could he directly borrow external natural energy to enhance the power of Ninjutsu?

If so, the upper limit of Ninjutsu might be very high, as human Chakra could hardly compare to the natural energy of an entire planet.

Muzuki took out paper and pen and wrote down his idea.

Five Dragons Turns to Destruction essentially caused various natural disasters by triggering a rampage of natural energy, while the Ninjutsu Muzuki envisioned required natural energy to remain controllable, so he couldn’t directly apply the techniques of Five Dragons Turns to Destruction to upgrade and develop Ninjutsu.

“However, this form transformation is also unusual. Adding appropriate Nature Transformation should greatly increase its power, but it might disrupt the effect of drawing in natural energy.” Muzuki casually wrote down his ideas for improving Five Dragons Turns to Destruction.

If he created a Five Nature Release version of Five Dragons Turns to Destruction, the Ninjutsu’s output ceiling should see a significant increase, though its fodder-clearing ability might be somewhat reduced.

After noting down his ideas, Muzuki looked through his insights on learning Sage Art for a while.

Things had to be done one by one. Currently, his Sage Mode was only at the proficient level with two thousand proficiency points. He should first master Sage Mode, and then develop the Breathing Stream Sage Art… At eight in the evening, there was a knock on Muzuki’s door.

“Come in, the door’s unlocked,” said Muzuki, who had moved to the living room using Flying Thunder God.

Obito pushed the door open, greeted Muzuki with a chuckle, and then asked, “Muzuki-sensei, are you busy today?”

“Not really, just ask directly if you have any questions,” Muzuki replied, putting down his book.

Recently, Obito occasionally came to his house in the evenings to ask about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

【Name: Uchiha Obito】

【Skill: Flying Thunder God Technique (Beginner: 90/100)】

With the help of his three skills—Teaching, Enlightenment, and Dispelling Doubts—Obito’s progress in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique was quite good. In three months, he had pushed his proficiency to ninety points, just ten points short of mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.

“Hehe, then I’ll trouble you, Muzuki-sensei. I mainly still have some problems with spatial transfer.”

Obito didn’t waste time and quickly stated his problem.

Although he was leading a team, Obito had never neglected his own strength improvement. If he had less time to train during the day, he would make it up at night.

After all, strength was essential in the Ninja World. A Hokage didn’t need to be the strongest Ninja in the village, but usually had to be among the strongest.

Muzuki did not disappoint Obito. Under Muzuki’s detailed breakdown, the abstruse space-time Ninjutsu became easier to understand.

“So that’s how it is, I think I understand a little,” Obito said, suddenly enlightened.

“Sure enough, when learning Ninjutsu, it has to be you, Muzuki-sensei,” Obito sighed.

He had actually also asked Minato Namikaze about the Flying Thunder God Technique, after all, in terms of Flying Thunder God Technique alone, Minato Namikaze’s level was even higher than Muzuki’s.

When Obito asked Minato Namikaze, he could sense Minato Namikaze’s superb Flying Thunder God level, but it was just very difficult to understand and learn.

“Oh, by the way, there’s an exchange meeting with Hidden Mist coming up soon. Konoha will send Ninja to the Land of Water for the exchange. Do you want to go?” Muzuki asked, remembering something.

This was proposed by Hidden Mist. It was originally scheduled for Konoha, but later the higher-ups discussed it and decided to go to the Land of Water first, and then Hidden Mist would come to Konoha next time.

As the largest island nation in the Ninja World, the Land of Water had many unique flora and fauna that the Land of Fire didn’t have, and Muzuki thought Obito might be interested.

“Land of Water? I want to go.” Obito immediately agreed. It was a country he had never visited.

“Can Rin and the others go too?” Obito asked after a moment of thought.

“If they want to go, then there are spots available,” Muzuki nodded.

As the Hokage, he still had this authority, and Rin Nohara and the others were also qualified.
