Chapter 77: Might Guy’s New Mission

“Guy, you look to be in great shape today.” On Sunday morning, Muzuki arrived at their usual training spot and found Might Guy already there, doing squats while holding a large rock.

“I think what Teacher Muzuki said before makes a lot of sense. Fighting strong opponents head-on can better transform training results into my own strength, so last night…”

Might Guy told Muzuki about losing to Kakashi in a challenge last night.

“I’m very happy that you take your teacher’s words to heart,” Muzuki said with a smile.

“As long as you continue to work hard from now on, your teacher believes you will surpass your best friend and become the strongest, because you are a genius of effort!”

“A genius of effort.” Might Guy’s body trembled when he heard this phrase, feeling it was indeed a very fitting description for him.

“With Teacher Muzuki’s help, I’m very confident about my path to becoming the strongest!” Might Guy said with a brilliant smile.

Every time he recalled the changes that had occurred in him, Might Guy understood Muzuki’s importance even more.

In fact, after being Muzuki’s disciples for a long time, even those as slow-witted as Might Guy and Obito had noticed something was amiss.

The strength Muzuki displayed in front of them was simply not the level a Chunin teacher should possess.

However, Might Guy didn’t care about that; he could feel that Muzuki genuinely cared for him.

Whenever his disciples showed significant improvement in their strength, he felt that Muzuki was even happier than they were.

Besides Muzuki, he had only seen similar behavior from his own father.

“With Teacher Muzuki’s guidance, I’ll defeat Kakashi sooner or later!” Might Guy was very confident in both himself and Muzuki.

“Disciple Might Guy has set a training mission.”

“Training Mission: Defeat Kakashi.”

“Reward: Determined by mission completion and strength growth during the mission period.”

Looking at the training mission that finally popped up, Muzuki nodded inwardly. His idea was indeed correct; he had basically mastered the trigger mechanism for training missions.

More than two months had passed since the first training mission was triggered, and Muzuki had learned some conditions for training missions through continuous probing.

Training missions primarily depended on the disciples’ subjective willingness. Situations like Might Guy and Obito were easier to trigger, while Shisui was very difficult.

Because Shisui was too invincible among his peers, no one put pressure on him. He had no goal to surpass, and he easily took first place.

Muzuki had tried to make Shisui trigger a training mission, but after trying for a long time, he couldn’t guide one out.

Muzuki guessed that training missions might not be able to trigger some long-term grand goals, otherwise, given Shisui’s personality, it wouldn’t be impossible for a mission to change the Uchiha’s predicament to appear.

It might also be that the trust level wasn’t high enough. Trust Level 3 was required to trigger training missions; perhaps Trust Level 4 would bring new changes.

Although he couldn’t trigger training missions now, Muzuki still valued Shisui greatly.

Perhaps due to Shisui’s better talent and more extensive training, Shisui’s Chakra grew very quickly. Currently, the Chakra returned from his training was the most, more than Obito and Might Guy combined.

Moreover, Shisui was also the only disciple who had triggered a strength growth reward so far.

Muzuki estimated that Obito and Might Guy would still need some time before they might trigger it.

Not long after, Shisui also came to prepare for training.

Seeing that both of them had arrived, Muzuki called them together and began teaching Shave.

Obito was the last to arrive, and seeing Might Guy and Shisui learning Shave, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

But then he thought of the ticket fee and difficulty of that taijutsu challenge, and Obito felt another headache.

“I need to maintain forward speed while dodging quickly.” Obito practiced Nature Transformation while thinking about how to solve this problem.

If he didn’t solve the problems he encountered before, even if he challenged again, he would just get three more test papers.

“I should try running at night for exercise; it should help somewhat.” Obito felt he could strengthen his legs.

Stronger legs not only allowed him to run faster but also made him less prone to fatigue when using Chakra.

…

With Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, stepping forward, the summer special training was quickly arranged.

For Fourth Grade students, unless there were special circumstances, all were to return to school for special training. Excellent students from other grades could decline the special training invitation.

The main training target for this special training was not the Genin who graduated this year, nor the excellent students from other grades, but the Fourth Grade students who would soon graduate.

The Ninja Academy directly sent teachers to notify and communicate with parents.

Muzuki felt that in this cruel Ninja World, no parent would not want their child to be stronger.

No matter how great Konoha’s textbooks portrayed Ninja, being a Ninja was ultimately an extremely dangerous profession.

The news of the Third Kazekage’s disappearance had already spread throughout Konoha, and anyone who understood the current Ninja World situation knew that a major war was inevitable.

Considering the previous friction between Kumogakure and Konoha, Konoha would most likely not be able to stay out of it.

The specific selection of excellent students for each grade was decided by Muzuki. He picked eight from each grade and directly had the teachers select them based on their combat scores.

Because Muzuki’s Class 1, Grade 1 had strong dominance in the First Grade, four people from Muzuki’s class were selected: Shisui, Anko, Kotetsu Hagane, and Izumo Kamizuki.

Anko didn’t know how others felt, but when the teacher came to her home and told her she had to undergo another month of summer special training, she was very confused.

The holiday hadn’t even lasted a week, and now she had to start school again.

Anko was relieved that this summer special training only focused on practical combat and didn’t require theoretical classes, and it would be taught by her favorite, Teacher Muzuki.

Most excellent students from other grades did not refuse.

However, very few of the graduated Genin applied for special training, only a dozen or so people.

Muzuki could understand that. Compared to the Chunin teachers at the Ninja Academy, most people would definitely trust their instructors after graduation more.

Having a suspicious superior was a very troublesome thing.

Because of this summer special training, Muzuki also conducted a special individual report, informing Danzo of the beginning and end of this training.

After all, this was not a small matter; it was the first time the Ninja Academy had held summer special training, and even the Genin who graduated this year received notice.

Danzo seemed to think Muzuki had completed his mission very well, and in his reply, he also rewarded Muzuki with Root’s training secret medicine.

In his reply, Danzo stated that Muzuki should try his best to perform even better, so that the Third Hokage would directly promote Muzuki to Special Jonin. The rest was meaningless PUA content.

Muzuki could only say that the original owner might have been touched by it, but he only disliked Danzo even more after reading it.

He didn’t even want to use the secret medicine given as a salary, after all, it was from Danzo.

This chapter was revised many times, so it’s a bit late.
