Chapter 64: The Reason to Be First

"I still have to solve twenty-five problems every day for ten straight days to pay off all the installments." On the way to the Southern Border Forest, Obito was calculating the problems he owed.

"I won't even finish by the time break starts..." Obito scratched his hair, feeling a bit stressed.

It wasn't just that the old debts were piling up; he was also gaining new debts every day, making it really hard to handle.

Obito felt like he'd be solving problems every day for the rest of his life if things kept going like this.

After Obito arrived, Muyue called Might Guy and Obito together and said:

"Next week is the final exam, so I'm changing the training plan."

"Changing the training plan? There's only a week left, isn't that unnecessary?" Obito was a bit nervous.

Last time the change went from over thirty problems per fight to over a hundred, and Obito was genuinely a bit scared.

"I'm temporarily canceling taijutsu sparring. Train on your own." Muyue stated the specific changes and then smiled at Obito.

"Are you sure there's no need for a change?"

"I think it's very necessary." Obito replied with a serious expression.

Fighting didn't matter, problems didn't matter, but not fighting and not gaining new problems mattered a lot to him.

"Teacher Muyue, this decision of yours is simply magnificent, a masterstroke, extraordinary, far-sighted..." Obito used every compliment he knew, and by the end he didn't even know what he was saying.

"You're exaggerating too much." Muyue tapped Obito on the head.

"One more thing: even though there won't be fighting now, you still have to finish the problems from the previous installments on time."

Obito covered the spot where he was just tapped and grinned, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

If being tapped once could reduce his problems, he'd rather be covered in lumps than have to solve problems for so long.

"What do you think, Guy?" Muyue asked.

Obito looked nervously at Might Guy, afraid that Might Guy might say something bad.

"I think it's great too!" Might Guy quickly answered, afraid that Muyue might misunderstand him.

Might Guy only hadn't spoken because Obito had already said it. What sane person would like solving problems?

Obito sighed in relief, gave a smile, and gave Might Guy a thumbs-up.

Might Guy nodded, also showing a bright smile and giving a thumbs-up.

They had reached an agreement.

"Train hard this week. I won't interfere with you. Follow your own ideas and train however you want, leave whenever you want." Muyue said with a smile.

"That good!" Obito felt as if Muyue's body was glowing.

"Shisui, come over here." Muyue called Shisui, who was training, over.

Shisui stopped training and walked to Muyue's side.

"After a month of intensive training, your body is much stronger. You can start practicing the new Body Flicker Technique now." Muyue said.

This month, Shisui set aside all other training and spent the entire month building his physique.

The effect of the huge training volume was also very obvious. Shisui's body was much stronger than before.

Because the system's secret medicine repaired his body and removed hidden injuries, Muyue could let Shisui challenge his limits every day.

Plus, Shisui did have a talent for the Body Flicker Technique, so Muyue thought it was time to teach him the Shave.

Hearing that it was the Body Flicker Technique Muyue had mentioned before, Obito and Might Guy couldn't help but start paying attention to Muyue.

"Didn't you say you had to be first in the grade in combat first?" Obito asked.

"This was previously rewarded to Shisui. Besides, do you think Shisui won't get first in the grade?" Muyue replied with a smile.

Obito thought for a moment and realized that even he could destroy everyone in the first year, let alone Shisui, who was even stronger.

With Shisui around, the combat exam for the first year had already been decided before it even started — no suspense at all.

Muyue grabbed Shisui, and with a Shave, appeared over ten meters away.

Watching the Shave that seemed like instant movement, Obito couldn't help showing a longing expression.

If he could master a Body Flicker Technique like this, how cool would he be in daily life?

When entering the classroom, others see him just walking through the door, but he instantly appears in his seat. When the teacher calls him to the podium to answer a question, he can also vanish and reappear on the podium, startling the teacher.

He could also help elderly people walk faster, letting them experience a wind-like sensation.

"I must take first place in the practical exam, let Rin know I've become strong, and make that hateful Kakashi dare not look down on me anymore." Obito silently vowed in his heart.

He had been taunted to his face by Kakashi too many times; this time he had to prove himself.

"Such fast speed! If I can master this Body Flicker Technique, maybe I'll have a chance to defeat Kakashi!" Might Guy thought as he watched Muyue vanish and reappear in the distance.

His speed was fast enough for Obito, but it was still somewhat insufficient against Kakashi.

Might Guy felt that if he learned this Body Flicker Technique, he could catch Kakashi off guard with his speed. Even if he couldn't defeat Kakashi, at least he wouldn't be as embarrassed as last time.

"To defeat Kakashi, I must obtain this Body Flicker Technique, and I must take first place in this practical exam!"

Might Guy was already getting fired up, wishing he could skip this week, skip the written exam, and go straight to the practical exam.

Muyue, who was watching Obito and Might Guy out of the corner of his eye, nodded inwardly. This was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.

Sometimes, forcing a fixed amount of training is not as good as letting disciples take the initiative.

With the Body Flicker Technique as a reward bait, there was no fear of lacking motivation.

Plus, with the self-aware training maniac Might Guy around, there was no worry that Obito would slack off without supervision.

Seeing his classmate and rival Might Guy training so fiercely, could Obito feel comfortable slacking off?

"This Body Flicker Technique is called 'Shave.' The main difficulty lies in repeatedly bursting chakra in a short time to strengthen the body and achieve high-speed movement." Muyue began to teach Shisui the Body Flicker Technique with full concentration.

In One Piece, "Shave" relies on the reaction force from stomping the ground dozens of times in an instant to move at high speed.

When Muyue first watched the anime, he thought it was pretty ridiculous, but on second thought, given the physiques in the One Piece world, it might actually be possible.

The ninja world version of "Shave" modified by the system was very ninja-like. Muyue felt that if you changed the name, it could pass for local taijutsu.

The ninja world version of "Shave" does not rely on the reaction force from stomping the ground, but instead uses a special chakra technique to strengthen the legs several times while quickly stomping, thereby unleashing extremely high speed.

It can be seen that the core of the ninja world version of "Shave" is that special chakra technique, which is very ninja-like.

"Strengthening multiple times in a short period?" Shisui was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had heard of such a technique.

No wonder Muyue had him train his body for a month. The Body Flicker Technique he learned before only strengthened once and caused fatigue with overuse. This "Shave" sounded much more advanced than the previous technique.

He was really looking forward to the training ahead. If he could master this Body Flicker Technique, his speed would definitely increase a lot.

Everyone, don't hoard chapters. We are in a critical life-or-death moment recently. After it ends, the good days of mass releases will come.
