Chapter 90: Master-Level Great Fire Annihilation

"Teacher, I want to challenge the river sprint!" Obito found Muyue and told her his idea of trying again.

A full four days had passed since his last failed attempt.

During these four days, he had learned Muyue's special training speed-increasing techniques, and had also broken his speed limit in the match against Might Guy. Obito felt he now had the strength to clear the challenge.

Of course, the main reason was that Obito thought his constant failure in speed competitions came from not having learned the Shave.

Moreover, next week's special training included a practical test. Obito wanted to master the Shave this week so he wouldn't be so passive in next week's practical.

He wanted to beat Might Guy once.

So far, in official practical matches against Might Guy, Obito had never won a single time—always by a hair.

If Might Guy had mastered the Shave while he hadn't, Obito felt he'd have even less chance of winning in this practical.

If the gap were huge, he could let it go, but losing by such a narrow margin every time really pissed Obito off.

"Alright, come with me." Muyue nodded and led Obito to the riverbank.

Obito stared intently at the water dragon bullets, trying to see through the hidden pattern.

"Begin!"

This time, unlike the previous time when the water dragons were randomly crashing back and forth, they were moving without any pattern.

"Is there something fun you guys haven't told me?" Blunt Anko went straight to Kotetsu and Izumo.

The first stage, the forest sprint, tested my physical fitness; the seventh stage directly taught me part of the Shave.

"Anyway, let's see what tricks they can come up with come Monday." Anko puffed her cheeks and said.

The smile froze on Obito's face. So that's what felt off—it turned out to be test papers!

Upon hearing he couldn't get an interest-free plan, Obito got happy again—that way, he could do fewer problems.

The second stage was different from the first; there was no need to set traps in advance—he could challenge it directly.

Some people wanted to advance to a higher-level group through the performance game, while others wanted to show off because someone they cared about was watching.

Kotetsu and Izumo exchanged glances for a moment and finally replied, "This round's preparation content is suitable to tell him."

【He gifted his disciple the Shave training scroll. The disciple was very grateful. Critical hit triggered: gained Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation (Mastered)】

"Teacher Muyue, I'm ready." Obito took a deep breath and began gathering chakra for the sprint.

Briefly thinking it over, isn't the content inside exactly the chakra technique Muyue taught me earlier to increase speed?

"Then how are you preparing?" Anko asked.

Looking at Obito's expression, Muyue thought that if Obito could maintain that calm, cautious attitude, it would definitely be as good as learning a high-level jutsu for improving combat power.

If it were just walking on water at his seventeen-meter pace, Obito could dash across in an instant, but with the water dragon bullets interfering, simply charging straight wouldn't work—he'd easily get knocked flying.

"I need to watch carefully and memorize all this content." Obito excitedly opened the scroll and found the content somewhat familiar.

"Since I've already forgotten, let it go." Obito's mind went dizzy as soon as he saw the test papers.

Realizing this, Obito dashed out instantly—hesitate and it would be too late.

Muyue tapped Obito with two fingers together and said, "You're dreaming big, but though I can't waive it, I can give you one installment interest-free."

"I made it!" When he crossed the last five water dragons and reached the shore, Obito couldn't help cheering.

"Almost forgot—here's your entrance fee. I forgot to give it to you earlier." Muyue smiled and took out three test papers, handing them to Obito.

"Don't insult our honest character with your suspicious eyes." Izumo said they really were preparing for the practical test.

Muyue nodded and replied with a smile, "No, you successfully completed the taijutsu challenge."

Standing on the water, Obito stared at the fierce-faced water dragons, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He couldn't afford a mistake—the second stage had far less room for error than the first.

And there was also a pattern among the five large water dragons: roughly every one and a half seconds, a brief safe gap appeared between two of the large water dragons, lasting an extremely short time—almost gone in the blink of an eye.

…

On Friday morning, Asuma asked Muyue to increase his training load.

There were seventeen water dragons on the river surface, grouped in sets of three. Water dragons in the same group had similar advance and retreat patterns—in other words, the seventeen water dragons could actually be seen as five large water dragons.

Obito instantly understood everything.

Only that—I hoped Muyue's memory would be a little worse.

"Really?" Hongdou looked at Gang Zitie with a face full of belief.

"There's nothing fun to play. You've been preparing for last week's practical test recently," Gang Zitie explained.

As the practical test approached, everyone was preparing for the exam.

"Teacher Muyue, you really are the worst teacher in the world!" Obito understood Muyue's good intentions and was deeply moved inside.

Yes, Muyue was going to teach me Shaving. Actually, from the time I finished challenging Muyue's taijutsu challenge, Muyue had already planned to teach me Shaving without ending the plan.

Muyue divided into a large number of Shadow Clones and then released a large number of Water Dragon Bullets onto the river surface.

"Too bad, then I can't learn Shaving now?" Obito jumped up dejectedly, constantly watching Might Kai, Shisui, and the others flash around—I was so envious.

Before understanding the pattern, passing the challenge was much more difficult. Obito would stop after passing seven water dragons and wait for that moment's opportunity.

Today's reward for teaching disciples was worse than Muyue imagined. A small burst directly exploded, yielding a mastery-level ninjutsu, which was the powerful Great Fire Annihilation Arrow.

Although they were bad brothers, they wouldn't mistake Hongdou's gender.

After observing for two seconds, Obito finally discovered the secret within.

You decided that if you met in the practical test on Monday, you must strike hard with heavy fists to punish the riddle man.

Hongdou felt that her two brothers had been acting strange recently, always huddling together all day, not knowing what they were chatting about and snickering.

Next, Muyue took Obito to train Shaving.

"This is the training method and experience for Shaving. Remember to look at it often," Muyue handed Obito a scroll.

"Teacher Muyue, the time hasn't been exceeded, has it?" Obito asked with some worry.

On the surface, it looks like a ten-second clear time, but in reality, the time available to act might not even be half a second. This stage tests observation and the speed of instantaneous action.

Finally, because he was training the cool Body Flicker Technique, plus the difficulty of obtaining it, Obito trained very seriously.

Next, there are three more chapters.
