Chapter 642: Exchange Meeting

【Synthesis successful, obtained item: Random Skill Extraction Scroll·S+】

After synthesizing the fragments into a complete scroll, Mu Yue went through his usual pre-gacha preparations.

He carefully washed his hands, and while doing so, recited the names of all the deities and buddhas.

A random draw scroll requires more luck than a self-selected scroll. Although an S+ draw scroll won't produce trash skills, it randomly selects from all types and may not necessarily yield a skill useful to Mu Yue.

For example, given that he already had a powerful fire-attribute skill like Blue Flame, acquiring another flame skill wouldn't be of much use to Mu Yue.

【Using his mind, he clicked on the Random Skill Scroll in his inventory, then clicked to confirm the draw.】

Instantly, a giant roulette wheel appeared before Mu Yue's eyes. Through it, he could see countless abilities from myriad worlds: Conqueror's Haki from the world of One Piece, Cross Lightning from the world of Pokémon, Cursed Techniques from the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, and...

There were many powerful skills, but unfortunately Mu Yue could only take one.

【As the roulette needle's speed changed, it finally stopped on a skill featuring multiple dragon symbols.】

【Random Skill Scroll S+ has been consumed. Acquired skill: Five Dragon Rotation Extinction】

With the skill extraction complete, a torrent of cultivation memories flooded into Mu Yue's mind. In an instant, he mastered the powerful ninjutsu known as Five Dragon Rotation Extinction.

After organizing the information in her mind, Mu Yue wore an intrigued expression.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this skill. Five Dragon Rotation Extinction belonged to the Kidō of the Bleach world, and more specifically, it was a Hadō designed for attack and destruction.

After being adapted to the Naruto world, Five Dragon Rotation Extinction retained a characteristic similar to that of its original world: ultimate destruction.

Five Dragon Rotation Extinction involves no nature transformation, only chakra shape transformation.

But Five Dragon Rotation Extinction has a very powerful effect: it can draw upon the surrounding natural energy!

In the area affected by Five Dragon Rotation Extinction, the ground will tremble and collapse, thunder will split the sky, and a gentle breeze will turn into a storm. Under the might of powerful chakra and various natural disasters, everything within the ninjutsu's range will be destroyed.

In Mu Yue's experience, Five Dragon Rotation Extinction was a skill for bullying weaker opponents.

At his level, unless it was an apocalyptic-scale natural disaster, it wouldn't have much impact; even adding in the chakra dragons from Five Dragon Rotation Annihilation wouldn't significantly raise its damage ceiling—it simply covered an enormous area.

Mu Yue felt this skill would be great for clearing out minor enemies, even better than techniques like Birth of the Tree World.

Against a ninja force of two to three thousand, Mu Yue could wipe them all out in half a minute with a single Five-Dragon Rotation Extinction.

This mob-clearing efficiency was still ridiculous—after all, even Iwagakure, with its relatively large number of ninjas, had only just over ten thousand shinobi.

"Directly manipulating natural energy with chakra to enhance ninjutsu," Mu Yue said, a thoughtful look crossing his face.

A highly efficient skill for clearing out mooks was trivial to Mu Yue, but the effect of the localized Five Dragon Rotation Extinction gave him a new idea for developing ninjutsu.

Natural energy is an external force; drawing this external energy into the body and synthesizing it with one's own chakra creates senjutsu chakra, thereby activating Sage Mode.

So, could he directly draw upon external natural energy to amplify the power of his ninjutsu?

If that's the case, the ceiling for ninjutsu could be extremely high—after all, how could a human's chakra possibly compare to the natural energy of an entire planet?

Mu Yue took out paper and pen and wrote down her thoughts.

Five Dragon Rotation Extinction essentially triggered a rampage of natural energy, producing various natural disasters, but the ninjutsu Mu Yue envisioned required natural energy to remain in a controllable state, so he couldn't directly apply the techniques of Five Dragon Rotation Extinction to upgrade or develop ninjutsu.

"However, this form transformation is also quite extraordinary. Incorporating a suitable nature shift should significantly amplify its power, though it might compromise the effect of channeling natural energy." Mu Yue casually jotted down her ideas for improving the Five Dragon Rotation Extinction technique.

If he created a version of Five Dragon Rotation Extinction incorporating all five elemental natures, the ninjutsu's damage ceiling should see a considerable increase, though its ability to clear out fodder might weaken.

After jotting down his thoughts, Mu Yue spent some time reviewing his insights on mastering the Way of Immortals.

Things had to be done one step at a time. Currently, his Sage Mode was only at the Proficient rank with 2,000 proficiency points. He should first master Sage Mode properly and then develop the Breathing Style Senjutsu.

【……】 【...】

At eight o'clock in the evening, a knock came at Mu Yue's door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked," Mu Yue said as he teleported to the living room using the Flying Thunder God technique.

Obito pushed the door open, greeted Mu Yue with a chuckle, and then asked, "Mu Yue-sensei, you're not busy today, are you?"

"Good thing. Just ask if you have a question," Mu Yue said, putting down his book.

Lately, Obito would occasionally come straight to his house in the evenings to ask about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

【Name: Uchiha Obito】

【Skill: Flying Thunder God Technique】

With the blessing of the three skills—Teaching, Enlightenment, and Clarification—Obito's progress in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique was fairly good. In three months, he pushed his proficiency to ninety points, only ten points shy of achieving basic mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Muyue. The main issue is some problems with spatial teleportation."

Obito did not waste time and quickly voiced his questions.

Although he was leading a team, Obito never neglected improving his own strength. If his training time during the day was reduced, he would make up for it at night.

After all, strength is essential in the shinobi world. The Kage does not need to be the single strongest ninja in the village, but generally must be among the strongest.

Muyue did not disappoint Obito's expectations. Under Muyue's detailed breakdown, the obscure and difficult space‑time ninjutsu became easier to understand.

"So that's how it is. I think I understand a bit." Obito said with sudden realization.

"As expected, when it comes to learning ninjutsu, Teacher Muyue is the one." Obito exclaimed.

Actually, he had also sought advice from Minato Namikaze on the Flying Thunder God Technique. After all, purely in terms of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze's skill was even above Muyue's.

When Obito consulted Minato Namikaze, he could perceive Minato's superb level of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it was very difficult to understand and hard to internalize.

"By the way, there's an exchange meeting with Kirigakure coming up. Konoha is sending ninjas to the Land of Water for the exchange. Do you want to go?" Muyue asked, remembering something.

This was proposed by Kirigakure. Originally it was set to be in Konoha, but after the higher‑ups discussed it, they decided to go to the Land of Water first, and next time Kirigakure would come to Konoha.

As the largest island nation in the shinobi world, the Land of Water has many animals and plants not found in the Land of Fire. Muyue thought Obito might be interested.

"The Land of Water? I want to go." Obito agreed directly. It was a country he had never visited.

"Can Rin and the others come along?" Obito asked after thinking for a moment.

"If they want to go, then there are spots." Muyue nodded.

After all, he was the Hokage; he had such authority, and Rin Nohara and the others were qualified enough.

PS: This chapter is shorter, about 2k words. I'm in a poor state.
