Chapter 89: The Old Man with Tubes Is Not to Be Trifled With
In Muyue's impression, the Third Shinobi World War could be described as incredibly chaotic, with everyone attacking each other and then ganging up on Konoha.
Kumogakure attacked Sunagakure and Konoha, Iwagakure attacked Konoha while also sneaking strikes at Kumogakure's rear, Sunagakure repelled Kumogakure, and seeing everyone beating up Konoha, they joined in too.
Kirigakure, which rarely participated in world wars, saw how lively it was and thought, "If I don't join, won't I seem unsociable?" So they also started attacking Konoha.
The Kazekage disappeared, so let's attack Konoha.
The Kumogakure barbarians are too hateful, so let's attack Konoha.
In short, if you don't know who to attack, just go hit Konoha.
That was roughly Konoha's experience in the Third Shinobi World War.
If it weren't for a sudden hero—the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze—the outcome of the Third Shinobi World War would have been hard to predict.
"Iwagakure's ten thousand ninjas besieging the Third Raikage, Yahiko forced to death by Danzo and Hanzo's collaboration, Nagato turning dark, Madara Uchiha engineering Obito's corruption, Might Dai opening the Eight Gates and turning the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into the Three Lucky Treasures..."
Muyue recalled the major events of the Third Shinobi World War and could only sigh at the danger of the ninja world.
On the surface, it looked like just tragedies caused by war, but in reality, it was a man-made conspiracy.
He could say his ninja village was weak and someone might believe it, but if he could beat up the number one ninja village, then it really was weak.
Shisui replicated Muyue's earlier action, spat out flames, and then flung the kunai in his hand. The kunai carrying the flames stabbed toward the wooden dummy.
But the teaching target was Shisui, whose learning ability was very strong. Muyue didn't need to worry about Shisui learning slowly.
Muyue sighed and then explained, "I was just thinking whether the war would affect our Konoha."
If the teaching target were Obito, Muyue would first teach the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and then the upgraded Crimson Claw of the Phoenix Flower.
And I, Habu Muyue, am just a chunin teacher at the ninja academy.
Because Muyue's rule was that as long as you break the limit, the new result is the limit for the next race, not the original limit data.
Sharp kunai combined with the high damage of blazing Fire Release made it hard to dodge completely at close range. Once hit, it would cause significant damage.
It was naturally difficult to achieve new breakthroughs every day, and Muyue wasn't disappointed.
Kakashi and Obito were the same age, and Obito was only nine now. That is to say, if he wanted to change everything, he had only seven years left to develop.
As he expected, Shisui's learning ability was very strong. With his teaching skills, even directly learning Crimson Claw of the Phoenix Flower went very fast.
Muyue remembered that not long before Obito turned dark, Kakashi had just been promoted to jonin, becoming a thirteen-year-old jonin.
"Time for development is running short..."
The sharp kunai cut off the wooden dummy's arm and pierced into its body. The flames attached to the kunai ignited the dummy, turning it to ash.
His thoughts were more pessimistic than Muyue's. If Muyue was just thinking about whether the war would affect Konoha, Minato's thought was that war would inevitably spread to Konoha.
Obito's matter was very troublesome.
Kushina's voice woke Muyue from his thoughts.
If he took a more optimistic view, his opponents were just an old man who needed tubes to stay alive and a pile of white sludge.
In peacetime, the title of number one ninja village could deter petty criminals, but once a major war broke out, Konoha, bearing the number one name, easily became the target for ambitious ninja villages to make a name for themselves.
The strength of Crimson Claw of the Phoenix Flower over Phoenix Sage Fire was the addition of the kunai.
He taught his disciple Fire Release: Crimson Claw of the Phoenix Flower. Thanks to the disciple's great gratitude, a reward critical hit occurred, granting the technique Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet (Familiarity level).
Only Shisui seemed to have lost nothing in the Third Shinobi World War and even earned the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker."
After Minato and Kushina finished eating, Muyue also left the main city to teach his disciples.
"Konoha is not a soft persimmon like Sunagakure. If anyone wants to start a war with Konoha, they should think about the consequences." Kushina was confident in Konoha's strength.
To change Obito's turning dark, his opponents were not the Iwagakure ninjas or Kirigakure ninjas, but Madara Uchiha and the White Zetsu hiding in the shadows.
But since Shisui had awakened the Sharingan during the Third Shinobi World War, Muyue believed that during that period, something Shisui didn't want to see must have happened.
Muyue called Shisui, who was training, and said, "Stop the Shunshin training for now. Today I'll teach you a new Fire Release jutsu."
"Fire Release: Crimson Claw of the Phoenix Flower!"
Muyue nodded inwardly. That was a decent little burst.
"Mu Yue, what's he spacing out about?"
If I'm optimistic, my opponents are not Indra's chakra reincarnate, currently the only living Rinnegan wielder Madara Uchiha, and the eighth son of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra.
"That ninjutsu is called Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jaws Crimson, a B-rank Fire Release that has very little killing power at close to medium range." Mu Yue explained the ninjutsu he was about to teach next.
The matter with Might Guy is actually not bad, after all, it was just bad luck to encounter the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. If Mu Yue develops for seven or eight years, he should be able to handle it.
Mu Yue used the Appraisal Jutsu to glance at Shisui's panel; the unfamiliarity level of Phoenix Flower Jaws Crimson had now reached eighty-seven, and with just a little more practice he could master it.
The shuriken passed through the flames and merged with them; over a dozen shuriken instantly turned into over a dozen large fireballs that smashed into the wooden dummy.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jaws Crimson!"
Although the specific time of the Might Guy incident is not known, it should have occurred during the heat of war, and the timing wouldn't differ by much.
I first taught Might Guy the Shave technique for a while, and then presided over today's race between Obito and Might Guy.
Mu Yue took Shisui to an open space.
After Mu Yue explained and demonstrated a few times, Mu Yue let Shisui try it himself.
Two days ago, Obito thought he had the strength to complete the challenge, and once again applied to Mu Yue to proceed with the challenge.
"Yusheng's concerns are reasonable. Once war begins, anything is possible." Minato said in a deep voice.
If it follows the original development, next Rin Nohara will be impaled on Kakashi's Chidori, Obito will directly become a deranged villain, and Might Guy's father, in order to protect Might Guy, will open the Death Gate and ultimately sacrifice himself.
But that training method is indeed quite useful; the increased unfamiliarity level of Might Guy compared to usual is the best evidence.
Perhaps because it was his first time practicing, Shisui didn't control it well, and not all the shuriken were coated with flames.
Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is also a B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu. In Mu Yue's memory, it is the Third Hokage's technique. Its attack range is wide and the flames are fierce, making it a relatively powerful Fire Release.
Today, Might Guy still maintained his strong advantage and won, but neither of them broke their limits.
Mu Yue formed hand seals and spat out a small mouthful of flames, and at the same time as spitting out flames, he quickly threw over a dozen shuriken, charging toward the wooden dummy in the open space.
Today is also the fifth watch.
