The fourth day after Minato left.
Originally, this day was supposed to be for training for the Anbu, but Mu Yue and Sarutobi Hiruzen took a day off in order to teach Kushina the Rasengan.
Mu Yue left himself a lot of leeway when planning the initial teaching of the Anbu training, so taking a few days off would not affect his teaching progress.
Before the training officially began, Mu Yue first asked Kushina about her current training progress.
"It's probably like this." Kushina stretched out her right hand and condensed great chakra in the palm of her hand.
As more and more chakra appeared in Kushina's hands, a chakra ball composed of pure chakra gradually condensed on Kushina's palm.
"It doesn't have much power now." Kushina used the Rasengan to hit the big tree next to her.
Bang!
The moment the chakra ball came into contact with the tree, wood chips exploded, and the next moment a shallow spherical hole appeared on the tree.
"It's already pretty good. It took Minato and I several months to get to this point." Mu Yue nodded and said.
Now, Minato has just completed the development of the Rasengan under his guidance, and has not yet organized and subdivided the practice of the Rasengan. It is already quite good that Kushina can practice to this level in a short time.
"Hehe, of course not, I'm a genius!" Kushina accepted Mu Yue's praise frankly.
Of course, even though she said she was strong, Kushina did not lose herself in Mu Yue's praise.
As a ninja, and a strong ninja at that, Kushina understood that practicing ninjutsu and developing ninjutsu were two different things.
"What you need to do next is to increase the chakra output of the Rasengan, and then compress the chakra to enhance the power of the Rasengan." Mu Yue began formal teaching.
Mu Yue stretched out his palm and a chakra ball rapidly expanded on his palm, suddenly exceeding the size of two heads.
But when Mu Yue began to compress the chakra, the chakra ball quickly became the size of a fist.
Under Mu Yue's instruction, Kushina quickly became proficient in condensing chakra balls, the power of the Rasengan also increased, and many potholes appeared on the training ground.
"As expected, it takes professionals. If Minato had your ability to teach, Mu Yue, I should have mastered it by now." Kushina was very satisfied with today's results.
Rasengan is a ninjutsu developed specifically for her by Minato and is highly suitable for her.
Using the truly complete version of the Rasengan actually consumes a lot of chakra, and Kushina happens to be the one who has the least amount of chakra.
As long as Kushina wanted, she wouldn't have any problems with the amount of chakra if she kept making Rasengan throughout a battle.
Because not only does she have a lot of chakra, she is also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and there is a super power bank in her body.
"What Minato taught me was actually pretty good."
Thinking of how Minato helped her successfully practice Flying Thunder God, Mu Yue said something for Minato.
"Average, definitely not as good as me. I taught him so many sealing techniques, but he didn't even teach me the Flying Thunder God Technique." Kushina commented.
Mu Yue smiled and said nothing. This was just a subconscious slander between young lovers. There was no need to follow suit or refute.
[Lecture completed]
[Rating: S]
[Reward: Rasengan +15, Chakra form change ability slightly increased, Chakra control ability slightly increased]
At the end, a class reward suddenly popped up on the system.
"So the reward was triggered because of the Nine-Tailed Fox?" Mu Yue thought as she watched the message suddenly pop up.
Before today, the minimum number of people for Mu Yue to settle class rewards was two. The first was Kushina and Minato, and then Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato.
At that time, Mu Yue was thinking that maybe Minato and Yamato were just there to make up the numbers, and the ones who really triggered the lecture reward were Kushina and Uzumaki Naruto, or the Nine-Tails in their bodies.
Mu Yue took a leave of absence today to come and teach Kushina with the idea of testing her, and the result was exactly as he expected.
This made Mu Yue feel a little regretful. If he was from the same era as Orochimaru, perhaps he might have had the possibility of becoming Kushina's teacher. Now they could only be friends.
It's so cool to have a disciple who can trigger the teaching reward. Normally teaching disciples can trigger the teaching reward every day.
"Chakra is just one of the major items, there are other calculation ranges." Mu Yuejiao had previously wondered whether Kushina would directly trigger the intermediate teaching reward.
Because there is only half of the Nine-Tails in Uzumaki Naruto's body, while there is a whole Nine-Tails in Kushina's body, the chakra difference is quite large.
"If I teach all nine tailed beasts together, I should be able to get the highest level of class rewards." Mu Yue thought of a simple and crude way to break through the upper limit.
If there are nine tailed beasts, then the chakra is powerful while also taking into account a certain number.
It's just that the conditions are too difficult to meet. Even in peacetime, the big ninja villages value their jinchūriki very much and it's impossible to send them all to Konoha to be Mu Yue's students.
After teaching Yamato in the evening, Mu Yue practiced Wood Release on his own for a while.
"Wood Style: Wood Clone!"
Mu Yue formed seals with her hands, and two figures that looked exactly like Mu Yue appeared quickly.
Although both are clone ninjutsu, the wood clone is stronger than the ordinary shadow clone.
The wooden clone is more difficult to identify as the shadow clone, and after disappearing, it can turn into branches to entangle the enemy.
…
Danzo Shimura originally planned to study with Yamato for a month before taking the exam.
However, in the fourth week, after finishing his official business, Danzo Shimura suddenly had an idea and thought that the time was about right, so he took two Root ninjas to Yamato's residence.
Yamato's residence is located in the southern suburbs of Konoha, which is a suburb within a suburb. There are basically no connected houses to the area of Yamato's residence.
This is the residence that Shimura Danzo prepared specifically for Yamato for the sake of secrecy.
When Shimura Danzo arrived, Yamato was preparing to practice Wood Release in the yard.
Because of Shimura Danzo's request, Yamato would only use Wood Release in front of Mu Yue. Even in front of Mu Yue's other disciples, Yamato would not use Wood Release and often only practiced Wood Release at home.
Danzo Shimura walked straight into the yard without knocking on the door.
This scared Yamato so much that he quickly canceled the Wood Release Ninjutsu he was about to use. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person coming was Danzo Shimura.
"Lord Danzo." Yamato greeted Danzo Shimura with respect.
This was the trick that Mu Yue taught him. Mu Yue said that he just needed to maintain a respectful attitude towards Shimura Danzo and nothing else needed to be done.
Shimura Danzo nodded faintly.
"Use your strongest Wood Release," Danzo Shimura said simply.
Yamato immediately began to condense Wood Release Chakra, and then quickly formed hand seals and used ninjutsu.
Under the effect of Wood Release Chakra, a huge tree rose from the ground.
Although Mu Yue did not teach Yamato Wood Release Ninjutsu, Mu Yue's various trainings improved Yamato's chakra control ability, which led to progress in Yamato's Wood Release.
"This time it looks decent." Shimura Danzo commented as he looked at the trees that were much taller than before.
Danzo Shimura is a result-oriented person. He doesn't care whether Yamato has been sincere before or not. He just wants to see Yamato's progress, no matter what the reason is.
Yamato is related to his future position in Konoha and the development of Konoha in the next few decades. Yamato must become stronger as he envisioned.
"Ryoma, come and have a fight with Kazuo." Danzo Shimura said to Ryoma Aburame beside him.
Originally, he wanted to take a look at Wood Release and then leave, but Yamato's performance gave Shimura Danzo some expectations. He wanted to see if Yamato could continue to surprise him.
Aburame Ryoma walked silently in front of Yamato.
"A, fight Ryoma with the intention of killing your opponent. Don't hold back, and use all your strength," ordered Danzo Shimura.
Yamato hesitated for a moment and quickly took out the shuriken and threw it at Aburame Ryoma.
It's not that Yamato made up his mind to kill so quickly, but Yamato had fought with Aburame Ryoma before, and he knew that this uncle with sunglasses was very strong and he was no match for him at all.
As Yamato expected, Aburame Ryoma simply stretched out his palm, allowing black parasitic insects to pour out of his body and block the incoming shuriken.
"Wood Style: Wood Clone!"
Then Yamato quickly formed two clones by forming hand seals.
As soon as the clone was created, it rushed towards Aburame Ryoma with a very clear purpose.
Aburame Ryoma's response method is still as simple as before, releasing parasitic insects to attack Yamato's wooden clone.
However, since a wooden clone had already approached Ryoma Aburame's body, the wooden clone was defeated and turned into branches that wrapped around Ryoma Aburame's body.
"Water Style: Rapid Stream!"
Yamato took advantage of the opportunity when Aburame Ryoma was tied up and immediately formed hand seals and used ninjutsu to attack.
Riptide Beam is a B-level water-based ninjutsu among the five ninjutsu developed by Mu Yue himself. Unlike the water-based ninjutsu such as Water Dragon Bomb that relies on the impact of water, Riptide Beam focuses on its penetrating power, like a spear made of water.
Danzo Shimura nodded with satisfaction. Although the tactics were a bit rough overall, the ideas were clear and every ninjutsu used performed well.
"Secret Technique: Insect Wall Technique!"
While controlling the insects to form a wall of defense, he concentrated chakra to catalyze the new insects to bite off the branches on their bodies.
With two hands, Aburame Ryoma easily neutralized Yamato's attack and quickly approached Yamato to engage in close combat.
Seeing that he had no time to perform ninjutsu, Yamato used basic breathing to increase his strength and launched an attack with physical skills.
After about two minutes of physical combat, Danzo Shimura called a halt to the fight.
"It's worth it that I specially asked Mu Yue to teach you. Your progress is satisfactory." Shimura Danzo rarely showed a smile.
Yamato also smiled. It was not easy to be recognized by Danzo Shimura.
"But you must not relax because of this. You can make such progress because I found the best teacher in the entire ninja world for you. Others can also make great progress, or even better than you." Shimura Danzo habitually suppresses and emphasizes his own contributions.
Danzo Shimura wants to make Yamato aware that his success depends entirely on Danzo Shimura's training, and he must rely on Danzo Shimura.
"But..." Yamato wanted to tell Shimura Danzo that Mu Yue said he worked hard, which was why he made progress.
But Danzo Shimura ruthlessly interrupted Yamato.
"No buts. As a Root ninja, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of making Konoha stronger. You can't think of relaxing at any time." Danzo Shimura said sternly.
Yamato finally shut his mouth and did not refute Shimura Danzo anymore.
"You must be tired from the battle just now. This is the new candy from the capital. I heard it is the favorite of the children in the capital. I'll give it as a reward for your progress."
Seeing this, Danzo Shimura softened his expression a little, then took out a few pieces of candy and handed them to Yamato.
"Thank you, Lord Danzo." Yamato took the candy and thanked him with a respectful look.
"A few pieces of candy are nothing." Danzo Shimura noticed Yamato's expression and nodded secretly in his heart.
Yamato was eating the candy given by Shimura Danzo, but he was thinking of Mu Yue in his heart.
He subconsciously compared Mu Yue with Shimura Danzo and found that Mu Yue was really good to him.
Although Danzo Shimura would occasionally praise him, it was far less than Mu Yue.
Danzo Shimura did not notice that his Wood Release had grown by five centimeters, but Mu Yue could carefully observe the few tenths of a second when he ran faster.
Moreover, Mu Yue was so good to him, but she always gave silently and never spoke of her efforts.
The more Yamato thought about it, the more he leaned towards Mu Yue, and thought how great it would be if Mu Yue was the first person he met when he woke up.
"Don't be too greedy. We've already troubled Teacher Mu Yue a lot." Yamato warned himself.
Feeling that he had done enough, Danzo Shimura left Yamato's residence, and before leaving he repeatedly reminded him not to relax.
After returning to the Root, Danzo Shimura was originally planning to sort out the information and go off work, but the intelligence personnel he left in the Rain Country suddenly passed on a piece of information.
Bang!
After reading the first part of the intelligence, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but slam his hand on the table. Words like Rain Village, Ninja Clan, and Cooperation were written on it.
"How can the Rain Village unite with the Shinobi Clan? The two sides have already formed a life-and-death feud." Danzo Shimura was puzzled.
Although the siege operation failed, Hanzo's naked murderous intent had been exposed to the Shinobi of the Shinobi Clan, and he felt that neither side would agree to cooperate.
Although the operation failed, Danzo Shimura did not completely give up his arrangements in the Rain Country. It was just that the war in Konoha was tense before and he was unable to take action.
Whether it is the Ninja Clan inheritance in Sosuke or the Rinnegan in Nagato, they are treasures that Shimura Danzo desires to obtain.
If he could obtain the Rinnegan and transplant it, his power would definitely surpass Sarutobi Hiruzen. With the addition of Mu Yue who is loyal to him, and the promising Wood Release ninja Yamato, the power of the Root would be unprecedentedly strong.
Danzo Shimura felt that he could become the Hokage without Orochimaru. With such a strong force, he wanted to see who dared to oppose him.
So Danzo Shimura was really angry when he saw the new information from the Rain Country. This greatly increased the difficulty for him to seize the Rinnegan, and the power of the cooperation between the two would also pose a threat to Konoha.
Danzo Shimura immediately issued an order, asking the Root's forces in the Rain Country to investigate the reasons why the Rain Village cooperated with the Ninja Clan at all costs.
He needed to know the specific information so that he could formulate a new plan to seize the Rinnegan and inherit the Ninja Clan's legacy.
