Chapter 55: New Body Flicker

Shisui wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand and leaned against a big tree to rest.

Might Guy and Obito had also finished their training, and were about to start a battle betting on the number of problems they would do.

"Today's youth has reached the time to be released." Might Guy's face was serious, his muscles tense, and he was already preparing to strike.

Actually, Might Guy was under even more pressure than Obito, because Guy started with a debt of fifty problems, and he had to keep hitting Obito to reduce it.

"I absolutely cannot exceed thirty, or I won't have time tomorrow night." Obito took a deep breath; his eyes showed a desire for victory and a fear of the problems.

He still wanted to go out with Nohara Rin on the weekend evening, so he absolutely couldn't accumulate too many problems.

"Begin," Muyue called out.

As soon as Muyue finished speaking, Might Guy instantly rushed out and quickly kicked a lightning-fast whirlwind kick at Obito.

Obito swiftly pulled back, trying to get hit as little as possible.

After standing for a while, Shisui sat down, watching Obito and Might Guy fight so seriously, and couldn't help sighing:

"How wonderful. Getting along happily in normal times, and going all out in sparring to improve together."

Shisui felt that this kind of friendship between comrades was truly nice.

Hearing this, Obito almost stumbled and fell.

If he didn't go all out, he would indeed have to sprint alone on the path of doing problems and make crazy progress.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, Obito would really have wanted to ask Muyue to let Shisui join this kind of training.

Although he didn't fall, Obito still let Might Guy seize the opportunity to hit him, adding one problem.

After this incident, Obito temporarily corrected his habit of getting distracted easily and focused entirely on dealing with Guy's attacks.

Five minutes later, Muyue beside them announced the battle results.

"Obito, thirty-five problems. Guy, fifteen problems."

"Thirty-five, huh..." Obito showed a pained expression. That was five more than his limit. Doing so many problems would make him dizzy; how could he go play with Nohara Rin?

Might Guy's expression was also a bit pained. Being beaten every day, Obito had improved a lot; he could no longer reduce the problems to ten like before.

"It's okay. If you can't finish today, you can pay in installments. Spread it over a week; you only need to do five problems a day. As for interest, let's say four problems." Muyue said with a smile.

Doing too many problems in one day—with Obito's brain, he might not even remember them, so it would be wasted effort.

Obito kind of didn't want to do installments, because originally it was only thirty-five problems, but with installments it became thirty-nine.

But if he didn't use installments, finishing it all in a short time would be exhausting, and he wouldn't have the energy to go play with Nohara Rin.

"Then I'll split it over seven days," Obito replied weakly.

Although the installment plan made the total amount increase, he couldn't give it up; it really was so much easier this way.

Muyue nodded and recorded Obito's latest installment plan.

"Do today's work today." Might Guy didn't plan to use installments; he wanted to finish the problems today.

Muyue also nodded at Might Guy not using installments, because doing problems itself was a motivational tool, and also to improve the two's theoretical scores.

Muyue felt this method was good; the problems didn't even have to be limited to ninja academy knowledge, using problem-solving to help the two expand their knowledge.

After resting, Shisui started training again.

Currently, his training focused on the Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu.

He was a beginner at both types of techniques, but he learned very quickly, even faster than when he first learned Fire Release.

【Disciple Uchiha Shisui trained seriously under your guidance and his strength increased to a certain extent. Reward obtained: Shave (Proficient Level).】

Muyue was stunned when he saw this reward. He didn't recall a technique called "Shave" in Naruto, but there was one in the neighboring series One Piece.

When a large amount of training memories about Shave appeared in his mind, Muyue instantly understood what was going on.

This was the Shave of the Six Powers from his memory, but it had been adapted by the system into a Naruto version; it was a taijutsu and also a Body Flicker Technique, and required chakra.

Muyue nodded in satisfaction. If it were the Shave from One Piece, his small body might not be able to use it; those monsters in One Piece had incredibly strong bodies.

Muyue compared the Body Flicker Technique he knew with Shave, and decided to use Shave for his Body Flicker Technique from now on.

He felt that the most basic Body Flicker Technique he had mastered was completely outclassed by Soru.

"Shisui, I've seen your hard work recently. Compared to two months ago, your strength has improved not a little. Keep training, and in a while I'll teach you a stronger Body Flicker Technique." Mu Yue praised with a smile.

The big gold mine had yielded another good thing, so Mu Yue was in a great mood.

"A stronger Body Flicker Technique?" Shisui's eyes lit up.

He was very interested in the Body Flicker Technique, feeling that this type of ninjutsu suited him well.

"Mhm, you need to pay attention to physical training. That Body Flicker Technique is a taijutsu; if your body isn't strong enough, it will put a lot of pressure on your legs." Mu Yue nodded and said.

After all, it was adapted from the taijutsu of the pirate world; although it uses chakra, it still requires a certain level of physical strength.

Not to mention Shisui, even Mu Yue himself needed to step up his physical training.

His ninjutsu lineup was already quite luxurious for the early stage, and the arrival of Soru just enhanced his mobility.

"Teacher Mu Yue, I think I've made a lot of progress too. Can you teach me as well?" Obito scratched his head and chuckled.

He really wanted to learn the Body Flicker Technique, not for combat, but because he thought it was cool.

If he had known the Body Flicker Technique back in the Junior Ninja Tournament, he wouldn't have had to walk up; he could have appeared on the stage with a whoosh like Kakashi.

"Of course you can." Mu Yue nodded.

"That's great! Teacher Mu Yue, you're the best teacher in the ninja world." Seeing Mu Yue directly agree, Obito was overjoyed and immediately cheered.

"Teacher Mu Yue, actually I've made quite a lot of progress too." Might Guy also wanted to learn the new taijutsu.

"Learn, you can all learn." Mu Yue's smile was very kind.

"As long as you get first place in the grade in the final exam, you can learn this Body Flicker Technique from me." Mu Yue stated the prerequisite.

"But Kai and I are both in the fourth grade. Doesn't that mean one of us definitely can't learn?" Obito expressed doubt.

"Then get first place in the next exam, or complete the taijutsu challenge I set. If you complete it, you can learn it as well." Mu Yue replied.

"Is the challenge difficult?" Obito asked tentatively.

"As you are now, you probably can't see it through." Mu Yue said bluntly.

Obito fell silent. In that case, he could only learn it by getting first in the grade.

Obito felt that he now had one more reason to get first place in the finals.

He looked at Might Guy, who gave a bright smile and raised a thumb at him.

"I definitely won't hand over first place to you. Perfect, the practical exam doesn't ban the use of ninjutsu." Obito felt himself getting fired up.

First take care of Might Guy, then defeat Kakashi. Then he would be the genius Uchiha Obito.

"Here are the problems you need to work on. Remember to do them well." Mu Yue handed the test paper to Obito.

The flames on Obito instantly extinguished. Looking at the countless problems waiting for him to solve, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"And here's yours, Kai." Mu Yue smiled and handed Might Guy his share.

Looking at the test paper with black text on white paper, the smile on Might Guy's face gradually faded, and his initially straight thumb curled down.

Even an iron man couldn't endure this hardship.
