Chapter 356: Golden Skyline

Ninja Academy Teacher, I Can Get Stronger Just by Teaching, Volume Chapter 274: Golden Horizon. Early morning, Kakashi woke up, quickly finished washing up, made a simple breakfast, ate it, and then headed to the South Border Forest to train.

"Kakashi."

While walking, Kakashi was suddenly called out. He turned and saw several unfamiliar ninja.

"Thanks to you and your teammates last time in the Land of Grass, we might not have made it back otherwise." The Konoha ninja smiled and thanked him.

Hearing this, Kakashi understood. During the war mission in the Land of Grass, they had indeed rescued some ninja.

"I also heard someone say there's a ninja named Kakashi who is heartless and disregards comrades, but I guess it's just a rumor." The Konoha ninja continued.

Kakashi fell silent. It really wasn't a rumor, because during that time, he had indeed ignored his teammates for the mission, causing them to get hurt.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but it's actually the truth." Kakashi thought for a moment and said.

No matter what he did back then, he was still Hatake Kakashi at that time. He didn't want to deny it, nor did he feel the need to.

"Huh?" The several Konoha ninja looked at Kakashi dumbfounded, unable to understand.

They were speaking up for Kakashi, wasn't he just contradicting himself?

"At that time, I hadn't recognized myself, so I made some mistakes." Kakashi continued.

After the fog cleared, he could face his past actions, so Kakashi didn't mind.

The several Konoha ninja all gave Kakashi a thumbs up. Although they were older than Kakashi, they felt he was more mature than them.

"No matter how you were before, the Hatake Kakashi I know is a genius ninja who cherishes comrades and is very strong." One of the Konoha ninja said seriously.

Before being saved by Kakashi, he didn't know Kakashi at all. He only learned about those rumors later when asking around about Kakashi. From his perspective, Kakashi was a great comrade.

The other Konoha ninja also expressed their thanks.

Kakashi smiled faintly and said goodbye: "See you, it's almost time for my training."

At that moment, he was in a very good mood. Not because of the praise, but because he felt he had taken a path that was both correct and that he liked.

"Goodbye. Oh, I watched the Chunin Exam. Your swordsmanship is amazing. Can I ask you for some guidance sometime?" The Konoha ninja waved goodbye.

Kakashi stopped in his tracks and replied, "If I have time, sure."

If he had enough free time, he wouldn't mind giving some pointers to others.

"My name is Shiraki Ryoichi." Seeing Kakashi agree, Shiraki Ryoichi excitedly told Kakashi his name.

Kakashi nodded slightly and continued walking toward the South Border Forest.

Since Kakashi got up early, even though he was delayed a bit on the way, he wasn't late.

"Yo, Kakashi! Let's have a battle full of youth and passion!" As soon as Kakashi walked over, Might Guy immediately flashed in front of him and shouted excitedly.

His Leaf Dragon God had become much more proficient, and his body was stronger than before.

"Fight? Right now?" Kakashi looked thoughtful.

"That's right, right now." Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up, flashing his shiny two rows of white teeth in reply.

"Okay." Kakashi accepted Might Guy's battle request, because he had been training hard for some time and felt he could test his progress through battle.

Obito had been about to start training, but seeing that Might Guy and Kakashi were about to fight, he immediately came over to watch.

"Guy, do your best! I believe in you." Obito desperately hoped Might Guy would beat Kakashi up.

Though it wasn't his own victory, watching Kakashi get beaten by someone else had its own fun.

Shisui also put down his hands and walked over. He wanted to gauge the gap between himself and Kakashi and Might Guy through the battle.

"Let's hold off on training for now and watch their fight." Muyue stopped Shizuku, who was about to start practicing the breathing method.

Both Might Guy and Kakashi are excellent in taijutsu. Shizuku might learn something by watching.

Shizuku obediently nodded and walked over with Muyue.

Both were very familiar with the battle procedure. They widened the distance and formed the opposing seal to each other.

Seeing that both were just about ready, Muyue, acting as a temporary referee, shouted: "Battle begin!"

"Lightning Breathing: Total Concentration!"

As soon as Mu Yue finished speaking, Kakashi immediately concentrated his breathing again and again to enhance his physical power.

"Rock Breathing, Total Concentration! Eight Gates, Gate of Opening... Gate of Life, open!"

Might Guy went even further, maxing out his own condition. Not only did he concentrate his breathing to the utmost, but he also directly opened the first three Gates of the Eight Gates.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Might Guy was already extremely powerful. The terrifying pressure caused the fallen leaves nearby to move without wind, making the air solemn.

During the Chunin Exam before, due to the distance being too far, Shizune hadn't felt much. But now, at this close range, Shizune deeply felt the power of Might Guy's state.

"He's opening the third Gate directly?" Feeling Might Guy's current aura, Kakashi's expression became more serious.

Whoosh!

Might Guy let out a loud laugh and then charged rapidly toward Kakashi.

Kakashi, showing no fear at all, met him head-on.

Bang! Bang!

After colliding, the two quickly exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks, momentarily unable to determine who was superior.

Although Might Guy had greater physical strength, Kakashi was more agile and could evade many of Might Guy's attacks.

"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

After a wave of probing attacks, Might Guy decisively concentrated chakra in his leg and then delivered a powerful kick.

The timing of this kick from Might Guy was excellent; Kakashi could only block with his arms and couldn't dodge.

Thud!

A dull impact sound rang out, and Kakashi was instantly knocked back three meters.

Might Guy didn't hesitate and immediately mobilized all his power to unleash the strongest taijutsu he could currently use.

"Leaf Dragon God!"

With the eruption of chakra, a terrifying aura rose from Might Guy, and a blue-green long dragon quickly formed.

"Trying to catch me off guard, eh? Guy, you've indeed become stronger, but so have I."

Kakashi immediately entered the state of Transparent World, then rapidly retreated while drawing the White Fang Short Blade strapped to his back.

"Hah." Kakashi's breathing rapidly changed, and everything in his body became transparent and controllable in his mind.

Zzzzzt!

Empowered by Lightning Breathing, Kakashi rapidly converted a large amount of chakra into lightning-nature chakra, his body shimmering with yellow electric light.

The yellow lightning flowed along his arm to his palm, finally electrifying the White Fang Short Blade and extending a blade of light.

"Thunderclap Flash!"

Boom!

A thunderous roar exploded, a great yellow light filled the area, and Kakashi transformed into a bolt of lightning as he charged forward.

Obito stared intently at the two, hoping the blue dragon would bite through the lightning.

Boom!!

The blue dragon and the lightning collided, instantly producing a violent explosion.

The immense power of the two caused the ground beneath them to explode, sending debris and dust flying in all directions.

"Both are very strong, not something I can defeat in my current state." Shisui thought solemnly.

"However, Kakashi's attack is still a bit stronger." After opening his Sharingan to observe more closely, Shisui roughly determined the outcome of the battle.

As if to confirm Shisui's thoughts, the next moment the long dragon shattered, bloodstains appeared on Might Guy, while Kakashi merely retreated a few meters, looking somewhat tired but with no visible injuries.

If it were a real life-or-death fight, Shisui couldn't say for sure, but if it was just a spar, it was indeed that Kakashi was a bit stronger now, because Kakashi's Thunderclap Flash had truly great power.

"As expected of my best friend, you're still a bit stronger than me." Might Guy's face showed no frustration at losing, and he said with a loud laugh.

Although he lost, Might Guy felt that this battle had not lost its meaning due to defeat. He had learned some areas where he was lacking, and from now on he just needed to work harder in those directions.

Kakashi didn't speak, but a sense of urgency grew in his heart.

During the Chunin Exam, Might Guy had to forcibly open the Fourth Gate just to fight him to this extent, but now Might Guy can do it with just the Third Gate. That means if Might Guy forcibly opens the Fourth Gate again, he might not be a match.

"I really can't let my guard down for a moment," Kakashi thought to himself.

He felt that it was too difficult to always remain the strongest among Muyue's disciples; aside from Rin Nohara, none of them were easy opponents.

"Teacher Muyue, are these things I'll learn in the future?" Shizune asked, looking at Muyue with some confusion.

Because of Muyue's words, she had been watching the battle with a very serious attitude, hoping to learn something, but she found that apart from the initial probing attacks, she completely couldn't understand the rest.

Muyue shook his head. As for Thunder Breathing, it was hard to say for now, but the Eight Gates was definitely not possible.

Might Guy and Kakashi's battle this time didn't follow the usual path; after just a few exchanges, they directly unleashed their ultimate moves, so indeed there wasn't much to learn.

"Too bad, if Guy could normally open the Fourth Gate, he should have won," Obito thought regretfully as he saw Kakashi win, and he strengthened his resolve to train hard.

After watching this battle, he also more or less understood Kakashi's current strength. It was strong, but the kind that could be caught up with through effort.

If his Sharingan evolved to three tomoe, and then he perfected the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, then by that time, if Kakashi's strength hadn't improved much, he definitely wouldn't be a match.

"If I fully master Armament Haki and improve the Body Flicker Technique a bit, maybe I can do it," Shisui also found his direction for future effort.

Kakashi had caused him, who had never lost, to lose, so after becoming stronger, Shisui would challenge Kakashi first.

After the battle ended, everyone went to train full of fighting spirit, including the exchange student Shizune.

"No wonder Rin became so strong. With a good teacher like Muyue and friends like Kakashi and Might Guy around," Shizune somewhat understood the growth of Rin Nohara's strength.

Actually, during the first special training, she was even a bit stronger than Rin Nohara; Rin was assigned to Group B at the start, while she was in Group A from the beginning.

But now Rin Nohara was already a chunin who mastered Medical Ninjutsu and Water Style, while she was just a genin who was relatively outstanding in medical skills.

Although Shizune was not someone who liked to compare, this situation indeed easily stirred fighting spirit. The training atmosphere here was so good that feeling idle was almost sinful.

"Guy, come over here. I'll teach you a new taijutsu," Muyue called out to Might Guy, who was about to continue practicing Konoha Dragon God.

Now that Might Guy had mastered Konoha Dragon God, he could officially teach Might Guy the Golden Horizon.

The Golden Horizon was different from ordinary taijutsu; it required long-term honing to unleash its great power. Teaching Might Guy earlier would allow him more time to polish it.

Hearing Muyue's words, Might Guy quickly ran to stand before Muyue.

"Could it be that Daytime Tiger that once countered Teacher Chen's Konoha Dragon God?" Might Guy asked curiously.

The Daytime Tiger that Muyue had used earlier left a deep impression on him. It was a taijutsu completely different from Konoha Dragon God, but equally powerful.

Muyue shook his head and smiled, "If you master the taijutsu I'm about to teach you, it will be even stronger than the Daytime Tiger!"

He had already mastered many powerful ninjutsu and taijutsu, and the Golden Horizon was among the top-tier ones.

Might Guy's eyes widened. He had seen Muyue use the Daytime Tiger; even the aftereffects nearly blew away those standing far away. Yet this new taijutsu was even stronger—that was a bit hard for him to imagine. Currently, the strongest taijutsu Might Guy had seen were the Daytime Tiger and Konoha Dragon God.

"The name of this technique is Milong Legend: Blade-Cutting Sword: Golden Horizon!" As he spoke, Muyue took out a broken nunchaku, preparing to demonstrate for Might Guy.

Muyue held the chain in his right hand, placed his

This move is stronger when using the index and middle fingers. There's a special reason why Milong II used the weaker ring and little fingers.

Might Guy stared at Mu Yue, sensing that her aura was growing stronger. Subconsciously he held his breath, his gaze locked on the fingers Mu Yue extended with her right hand.

"Golden Skyline!"

Mu Yue pushed the Rock Breathing to its limit, then entered the Transparent World state and charged forward fiercely. During the charge, her left hand moved in a blade-drawing motion, driving her right hand to perform a smooth slashing strike forward. It extended straight ahead, creating a fine line parallel to the ground, and then slashed out at extreme speed.

A beautiful, slender golden line flashed past.

RUMBLE!!

A violent explosion rang out. The ground around Mu Yue shattered, forming a huge crater. At the same time, the surrounding trees were all severed in a flash of golden light. Even the slightly taller boulders were sliced in two, as if an invisible sword qi had swept through the area around Mu Yue.

"Such immense power!" Might Guy exclaimed as he looked at the devastated ground and the mess all around.

He felt that if a small mountain had stood before Mu Yue just now, she might have cut it in half.

Because the commotion was even greater than the earlier Great Serpent's Fangs, all the disciples also noticed what was happening.

"Time to find another spot," Obito thought, scratching his head as he looked at the now-empty forest.

Kakashi's expression turned serious, because he knew who Might Guy would face first after learning this move.

"Is it my turn tomorrow?" Kakashi felt that he, too, should learn something new.
