Chapter 62: Forever Friday

"Obito, have you run into something good lately? You seem to be in a great mood." Rin asked curiously, seeing Obito unusually cheerful today.

"Of course, because the good times are coming." Obito grinned.

Although the number of questions seemed to increase after the battle rule change, the training offset made up for it. Plus, with installment plans for doing questions, the daily workload hadn't changed much.

Now that he was gradually getting stronger and the questions were becoming fewer, along with the offset and installment plans, weren't the good times just around the corner?

"You finally remembered the date, Obito. Want to go play together tomorrow?" Rin thought the "good times" Obito mentioned meant the weekend, so she invited him.

"Date? Play together tomorrow?" Obito looked confused, then a terrible possibility crossed his mind.

"Is today Friday again?" Obito asked Rin.

"Yeah, aren't the good times you mentioned the weekend?" Rin nodded and then asked.

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

In a daze, Obito recalled experiencing this scene several times before.

"Am I trapped in a world that only has Fridays and weekends?" Obito clutched his head, unable to accept the fact.

"What's wrong, Obito? You look so troubled." Rin didn't understand.

Why would a student look pained at the arrival of the weekend? Isn't time off good?

"Because I love school and studying so much, thinking about not going to school really hurts." Obito tried to explain.

Obito certainly wouldn't tell Rin about the embarrassing situation of having a pile of unfinished questions accumulate over the weekend.

"You really love studying that much, Obito?" Rin was a bit surprised, thinking it might be related to his progress this semester.

"So, do you still want to go play tomorrow?" Rin asked.

"Let's go tonight!" Obito replied.

After the rule change, he had no energy left to play on the weekend.

He spent almost the entire day training and doing questions, and by evening he didn't even want to move.

Every time he thought about how Might Guy could still train on his own after his regular training, Obito felt his scalp tingle—what kind of body and willpower was that?

"Doesn't Guy ever get tired?" Obito wondered, glancing at Might Guy, who was bowed over doing questions.

"I hope there's interest-free installment plans for the weekend too." Obito thought about yesterday and silently prayed to the kind Mu Yue-sama in his heart.

After school, Obito went to the training ground as usual. He was the last to arrive.

Mu Yue called the three of them together and began assigning tasks.

"Guy, give that tree a full-force kick." Mu Yue casually pointed at a lush tree.

Might Guy nodded, walked up to the tree, and directly burst out chakra, executing an extremely fast whirlwind kick.

Crack! The tree snapped and fell, cleanly broken by Might Guy's kick.

"I can actually kick down a big tree now." Might Guy was a bit surprised.

Back when he saw Mu Yue swiftly kick down a tree, he thought it was cool, but he didn't expect to do it himself so soon.

Next, Mu Yue used ninjutsu to create a large pit, then filled it with water using water release, and said to Obito:

"Obito, use your full-power Great Fireball on the water pit."

Obito began forming hand seals as Mu Yue instructed, then spat out a huge fireball, instantly evaporating all the water in the pit, leaving only a patch of scorched earth.

"This is the power of my fire release." Obito's eyes widened. The pit had been several meters wide.

Three months ago, even a half-meter-wide pit would have been impossible to evaporate with his small fireball.

Then Mu Yue took them through a series of training exercises again, like tree climbing and water walking.

Obito suddenly realized he had really gotten a lot stronger. The water-walking training that once left him utterly humiliated—now he could run wildly on the surface without being knocked over by waves.

He could casually walk up any tree, easily melt ice blocks as big as two heads, and execute both Great Fireball and Great Dragon Fire effortlessly.

Finally, Mu Yue gave Obito and Might Guy a mock test.

"Sixty points? This is my score?" Obito looked at the mark on the test paper, his expression even more astonished than when he saw the fireball evaporate the water pit.

Last time, scoring thirty points was a first, but this sixty points is truly an unprecedented high score!

"Fifty-four points!" Might Guy held the test paper and tears of emotion flowed directly.

He felt the same as Obito—it was too high, so high it felt unreal.

Obito couldn't help asking, "Muyue-sensei, you wouldn't really be...?"

The long hard work was not in vain; everything had reaped rewards.

Nature transformation, ninjutsu, taijutsu, chakra control, and even theoretical scores—Obito felt he had become stronger in all aspects, especially much stronger.

At this moment, Obito felt that doing problems every day and training all day on weekends didn't matter, because the gains were too great.

If this continues, maybe he could really become Konoha's Hokage.

"Talking so nicely, you want today's interest waived too?" Muyue asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it'd be best if tomorrow's could be waived too," Obito said with a silly grin.

Although now he felt doing problems wasn't a big deal, if he could do fewer, he'd still prefer that.

"You wish. The special benefit was only for yesterday." Muyue tapped Obito's head with two fingers together.

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

Timely positive feedback is very important. Muyue planned to hold such a training summary at intervals.

The disciples' spirits were lifted, and Muyue didn't waste the moment. He directly gave the three disciples the calligraphy he usually wrote.

【You gifted the disciple Uchiha Obito a personally written calligraphy. Because the disciple was very grateful, a reward critical hit occurred: you obtained the ninjutsu Earth Release: Earth Spear (Proficient Level).】

A large amount of training experience regarding Earth Release: Earth Spear appeared in Muyue's mind, and he instantly understood multiple practical uses of this ninjutsu in combat.

Muyue nodded inwardly, feeling 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 combine offense and defense with extremely high practicality.

Whether defending when an enemy is close or hardening the attacking part during an attack, it was very useful.

"Never forget why you started?" Obito thought for a while, ultimately couldn't figure out any special meaning, and finally chose not to think about it.

"Heaven rewards diligence." Might Guy scratched his head, vaguely understood the meaning, and broke into a smile.

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

"A just cause gains much support, an unjust one gains little..." Shisui also couldn't quite understand what Muyue's calligraphy was trying to express.

What is a just cause, and what is an unjust one?

Everyone, on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, these three days, absolutely do not hoard chapters! It's a life-or-death moment, I beg you.

Book recommendation: In Konoha, Starting from the Anbu to Overturn the Ninja World!

Hyuga Mochizuki woke up in a dungeon, finding himself in a certain death situation. He only wanted to protect himself but ended up tearing off Konoha's glamorous veil...

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!

The youth who slays the dragon will eventually become the dragon!

He wore a cat-face mask and an Anbu cloak, standing atop the Hokage Rock overlooking the village. His dark silhouette was stretched long by the sunlight, and he murmured softly to himself: "With the darkness of Konoha, I will overturn the Ninja World!"
