Chapter 77: Might Guy's New Mission

"Gai, you look in great shape today." On Sunday morning, Muyue arrived at their usual training spot and found Might Guy already there, doing squats while holding a large stone.

"I think what you said earlier, Teacher Muyue, makes a lot of sense—fighting strong opponents head-on is the best way to turn training results into real strength, so last night I..."

Might Guy told Muyue about how he had challenged Kakashi and lost the night before.

"I'm glad you took my words to heart, student." Muyue said with a smile.

"As long as you keep working hard from now on, I believe you will surpass your best friend and eventually become the strongest—because you are a genius of hard work!"

"Genius of hard work." Upon hearing those words, Might Guy's entire body jolted; he felt it truly suited him.

"With your help, Teacher Muyue, I'm very confident in my path to becoming the strongest!" Might Guy said, flashing a bright smile.

Every time he reflected on the changes that had happened to him, Might Guy understood more and more how important Muyue was.

In fact, after being Muyue's students for so long, even slower ones like Might Guy and Obito had started noticing something off.

Given the strength Muyue had shown before them, it was nowhere near the level of a mere chūnin instructor.

But Might Guy didn't care about that; he could feel that Muyue genuinely wanted what was best for him.

Whenever his disciples made noticeable progress in strength, Muyue seemed even happier than they were.

Aside from Muyue, he had only ever seen a similar attitude from his own father.

"With Teacher Muyue's guidance, I'll beat Kakashi sooner or later!" Might Guy was full of confidence in both Muyue and himself.

【Disciple Might Guy: Setting Training Mission】

【Training Mission: Defeat Kakashi】

【Reward: Determined by mission completion rate and strength growth during the mission period】

Seeing the training mission finally pop up, Muyue nodded to himself—his reasoning had been correct; he had basically grasped the trigger mechanism for training missions.

It had been over two months since the first training mission was triggered. Through constant experimentation, Muyue had learned some of the conditions for training missions.

Training missions mainly depended on the disciples' subjective will. Cases like Might Guy and Obito were relatively easy to trigger, while Shisui was very difficult.

Because Shisui was too invincible among his peers; no one put pressure on him, he had no goal to surpass, and taking first place was effortless.

Muyue had once tried to get Shisui to generate a training mission, but after trying for a long time, he simply couldn't guide one out.

Muyue guessed that training missions might not be able to trigger grand long-term goals; otherwise, given Shisui's personality, it wouldn't be impossible for him to generate a mission to change the Uchiha clan's predicament.

It could also be that the trust level wasn't high enough. At trust level three, training missions could be triggered; perhaps trust level four would bring new changes.

Even though he couldn't generate a training mission for Shisui now, Muyue still valued him highly.

Perhaps due to Shisui's better talent and more training, his chakra grew very quickly. Currently, the chakra given back through the Disciple Repays Master was the most from him, even more than Obito and Might Guy combined.

Moreover, Shisui was the only disciple so far who had triggered the strength growth reward.

Muyue estimated that it would still be a while before Obito and Might Guy could trigger it.

Not long after, Shisui also arrived, ready to start training.

Seeing that both had arrived, Muyue called them together and began teaching the Shave technique.

Obito was the last to arrive. Seeing Might Guy and Shisui learning the Shave, he couldn't help feeling envious.

But as soon as he thought about the entry fee and difficulty of that taijutsu challenge, Obito's head began to ache again.

"Need to dodge quickly while maintaining forward speed." Obito practiced nature transformation while thinking about how to solve this problem.

Unless he solved the issues he'd encountered before, even if he went for another challenge, he would just end up with three more test papers.

"I'll do some evening runs from now on; it should help a little." Obito decided he could strengthen his legs through exercise.

Stronger legs not only allowed him to run faster but also made it harder to tire when using chakra.

…

With the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stepping in, the summer special training was quickly arranged.

For fourth-year students, unless there were special circumstances, they were all to return to school for the special training. Outstanding students from other grades could decline the training invitation.

The main target of this special training was not the genin who would graduate this year, nor the outstanding students from other grades, but the fourth-year students who would be graduating soon.

The ninja school directly sent a teacher to notify and communicate with the parents.

Mu Yue felt that in this cruel shinobi world, there shouldn't be any parents who wouldn't want their children to become stronger.

Even if Konoha's textbooks described ninjas as great, being a ninja is ultimately an extremely dangerous profession.

The news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance had already spread throughout Konoha. Anyone who understood the current shinobi world knew war was inevitable.

Considering the previous friction between Cloud and Konoha, Konoha would most likely not be able to stay out of it.

The selection of the grade's excellent students was decided by Mu Yue. He picked eight from each grade and directly told the teachers to choose based on combat scores.

Because Mu Yue's Class 1-1 was quite dominant in the first grade, four students from his class were selected: Shisui, Anko, Kotetsu, and Izumo.

Anko didn't know how others felt, but when the teacher came to tell her that she had to undergo another month of summer training, she was very bewildered.

The vacation hadn't even lasted a week, so why did school have to start again?

Anko was relieved that this summer training only focused on combat, no theory classes, and it would be taught by her favorite teacher, Mu Yue.

Basically, none of the grade's excellent students refused.

As for the graduated genin, very few applied for the training, only about a dozen.

Mu Yue could understand that; compared to the chunin teachers at the ninja school, people would generally trust their post-graduation supervising jonin more.

Having a suspicious superior is a very troublesome thing.

Because of this summer training, Mu Yue also made a special separate report to Danzo, reporting the entire process of this training.

After all, this was not a small matter. It was the first time the ninja school held summer training, and even notifications were sent to this year's graduated genin.

Danzo seemed to think Mu Yue had done a good job. In his reply, he also rewarded Mu Yue with root's secret training medicine.

In the reply, Danzo indicated that Mu Yue should try to perform even better, so that the Third Hokage would directly promote Mu Yue to Special Jonin. The rest was some meaningless PUA content.

Mu Yue could only say that the original owner might have been affected, but after reading it, he only disliked Danzo more.

He didn't even want to use the secret medicine given as a salary, after all, it was from Danzo.
