Chapter 98: Differences in Breathing Effects

Unable to hold back any longer, Ebisu went directly to find Gangsteel and Kamiizuki Izumo.

"Big brother Ebisu!" Seeing Ebisu, Gangsteel and Kamiizuki Izumo greeted him warmly.

Although the two appeared very respectful, Ebisu couldn't help but suppress his anger and asked:

"You two didn't go around spreading rumors about me, did you?"

Gangsteel shook his head and said, "How could that be? Big brother Ebisu, you have the grace of teaching us—how could we do anything to harm you?"

"That's right, big brother Ebisu. Have you been listening to slander from others?" Kamiizuki Izumo analyzed.

"Now all three groups are saying that I was the one who led the development of that new enemy-confusing technique. What's going on?" Ebisu said with a dark face.

"We never said that." The two shook their heads.

They only said that Ebisu's contribution was greater.

"Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Big brother Ebisu, let me show you something good." Gangsteel gestured for Ebisu to come closer, then took out a book.

"The reason Izumo and I were able to successfully perfect the enemy-confusing technique is thanks to this book. I think you can learn something from it too, big brother Ebisu."

Ebisu opened it skeptically, glanced at the content, then quickly closed the book and looked around left and right.

"Ahem, this book is indeed not bad. I'll keep it safe for you for now." Ebisu decided to temporarily forgive his two underlings.

"By the way, come find me during the lunch break. I want to see how your ninjutsu training is going." Ebisu added before leaving.

…

As soon as Obito stepped into the training ground, he eagerly found Rin Nohara.

"Rin, do you want a teacher?"

"Huh?" Rin Nohara looked at Obito with a confused expression.

"I mean, do you want to train together with Teacher Muyue?" Obito pulled Rin aside and asked.

"Aren't we already training with Teacher Muyue?" Rin was even more confused.

Obito scratched his head, feeling that he had already made it clear enough.

"Not the kind of training during the day—I mean receiving Teacher Muyue's guidance after class," Obito said.

"Are you asking if I want to become Teacher Muyue's disciple?" Rin summarized Obito's meaning.

Seeing that Rin finally understood him, Obito nodded with satisfaction.

"Teacher Muyue is really amazing. If he teaches you, you'll definitely get stronger in no time," Obito said.

Because Muyue didn't allow his disciples to reveal their master-disciple relationship outside, Obito didn't directly say that he had become Muyue's disciple and made such rapid progress.

Of course Rin knew that Muyue's teaching level was very high, since their class was often taught by him as a substitute.

But Rin keenly sensed that what Obito meant by "amazing" might not just refer to his teaching.

Obito suddenly saying this to her, combined with his changes over the past few months…

A guess formed in Rin's mind: maybe it was because Obito had become Muyue's disciple that he had changed so much these months.

"If you're willing, Rin, after school tonight you can eat dinner and then come with me to a place," Obito said.

"Wouldn't this cause trouble for you and Teacher Muyue?" Rin didn't agree directly but instead asked Obito.

"No trouble at all." Seeing that Rin was considering agreeing, Obito quickly said.

He had already made arrangements with Muyue; as long as Rin came, it would be fine.

In the end, Rin nodded and agreed.

Having a good teacher was indeed nice. She had a good impression of Muyue, and with Obito's strong recommendation, Rin couldn't help becoming more curious about him.

What exactly was Muyue's teaching method that had caused such a huge change in Obito in just a few months?

When class ended, Rin glanced at Muyue a few more times. She noticed his skin was very good, but didn't find anything else.

Muyue glanced at the lecture reward, noticed Rin's gaze, and smiled gently in acknowledgment.

【Completed a major lecture teaching】

【Evaluation: a】

【Reward obtained: Strong•Konoha Vajra Whirlwind, Chakra Scalpel】

The rewards are not bad—one is Might Guy's favorite Leaf Whirlwind series taijutsu, and the other is a high-level medical ninjutsu that also has considerable power in actual combat.

After class, Muyue first returned to the main city area to have dinner, and then went to the Southern Border Forest to train with his disciples.

However, this time it wasn't just three disciples; there was also Rin Nohara.

When Rin Nohara first arrived, she happened to see Shisui and Might Guy training, and she was a bit surprised.

Rin Nohara hadn't expected that Shisui was also Muyue's disciple, which made her even more curious about Muyue.

When they noticed Muyue's arrival, all four greeted him: "Teacher Muyue."

"Mm, good evening everyone." Muyue said with a gentle smile.

"It seems Teacher Muyue is pretty much the same in private as he is at school and training grounds," Rin Nohara thought to herself.

Although Rin Nohara and Muyue had not communicated face-to-face, they had already exchanged messages through Obito, so nothing unexpected happened, and she became a disciple smoothly.

"Your chakra control is actually quite good. Would you like to try learning medical ninjutsu?" Muyue asked.

He recalled that Rin Nohara seemed to have good talent in medical ninjutsu, having already mastered the advanced medical ninjutsu Healing Palm by the age of twelve.

"Medical ninjutsu..." Rin Nohara thought for a moment, then her eyes grew brighter, and finally she nodded.

She felt this was a good choice, and among medical ninja, there were renowned strong figures like Tsunade.

Tsunade was an idol for many ninja of the Leaf, and Rin Nohara was one of them.

"Let's start by learning the most basic Healing Technique," Muyue said when he saw that Rin Nohara had an idea.

Naturally, healing-type medical ninjutsu is not limited to advanced techniques like Healing Palm; there are also lower-level techniques like Healing Technique and Hemostasis Technique.

Since Rin Nohara was still new to medical ninjutsu, Muyue didn't teach her directly but instead explained some theoretical knowledge.

After the disciples left, Muyue practiced the Breathing Method alone in the Southern Border Forest.

Actually, having reached the Constant Middle realm, sleeping every day is already training, but if one does additional training, the effect would be even better.

Muyue now clearly understood the pros and cons of the two breathing methods. Normally, he used the constant middle of Rock Breathing, because Rock Breathing has a stronger effect on body training, while Flame Breathing is stronger in providing support for Fire Release during battle.

He was making a breathing method training plan for the disciples. When it's done, he will have the disciples practice the breathing method collectively, except for the newly arrived Rin Nohara.

Because these two breathing methods are not suitable for Rin Nohara; she most likely cannot learn them.

Additionally, everyone seems to be worried that the plot will remain like this. Let me explain here: currently it's still a development phase. Don't worry, I'm also speeding up the timeline with rapid updates.

There will be conflicts, but for now the protagonist's strength is insufficient, and he has been avoiding conflict.
