Mu Yue was a little surprised when she saw the message that suddenly popped up from the system, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was very normal.
He and Nagato had spent quite a bit of time together, if his travels through the world of Naruto were any measure.
During this period, they not only had the ordinary daily life of teacher and student, but also had experienced life and death together, betrayal and siege. They went through too many things together.
She behaves like a savior in times of trouble and is gentle and kind in daily life. All of Mu Yue's actions make Nagato's trust in Mu Yue continue to deepen, and finally reaches its peak during this festive time.
Logically speaking, Mu Yue should give Nagato an arbitrary gift now.
Because the system has a welfare mechanism, every disciple will have a chance to explode with gold coins when he upgrades to Trust Level 4, and the gold coins he teaches will be returned with perfect-level skills.
Mu Yue's four current perfect-level skills are all rewards for the increase in disciples' trust level.
However, according to Mu Yue's experience, there is no problem in giving gifts later, so Mu Yue did not suddenly give Nagato a gift at this time.
After all, the occasion and atmosphere were not quite appropriate. While talking about everyone's struggles, he suddenly gave a gift to Nagato alone.
"Teacher Sosuke, you are right, but Teacher Sosuke, you are definitely the one who has made the greatest contribution." Yahiko said seriously.
In Yahiko's eyes, not to mention the current martial arts conference or anything like that, Sosuke, as the founder of the Ninja Clan, led the Ninja Clan through various crises, and his contribution to the Ninja Clan has surpassed the sum of all the others.
The Ninja Clan can do without Yahiko, Konan, or even Nagato and Kakuzu, but it cannot do without Sosuke.
Without Sosuke, there would be no Ninja Clan, and nothing would have happened.
Even if the Ninja Clan had not appeared, Yahiko would still stick to his ideals and develop the Akatsuki organization.
But based on Yahiko's current experience, there is no way he can achieve the current level of the Ninja Clan.
He might be able to develop a powerful Akatsuki organization to maintain peace in the Rain Country, but he definitely couldn't establish another ninja sect.
"No, with my previous abilities, I'm afraid I won't be able to safely expand the Akatsuki organization." Thinking of the siege that almost led to the destruction of the Ninja Clan, Yahiko sighed slightly in his heart.
Although Akatsuki has Nagato as its trump card, Nagato needs time to grow.
Yahiko is very clear about his abilities. He is very likely to lead the Akatsuki organization into the abyss before Nagato completes his growth, just like what happened to the Ninja Clan.
"This is not nonsense. If Sosuke had not founded the Ninja Clan, you wouldn't be sitting here talking." Kakuzu said after drinking a glass of wine.
As the sake went down his throat, Kakuzu's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past.
How could a bounty-collecting ninja like him become a high-ranking figure in the Ninja Clan?
Kakuzu originally thought that after being betrayed by Takigakure, he would never trust anyone again. After all, he regarded protecting the village as a belief that he must uphold. Now that the belief he upheld had betrayed him, what else in this world could not be betrayed?
Sosuke stood up and told him that it was true.
Sosuke is the second strongest ninja Kakuzu has ever fought, the strongest being Senju Hashirama.
In Kakuzu's opinion, Hashirama Senju is a little weird, and Sosuke is even weirder.
Kakuzu didn't know Senju Hashirama very well, so it was difficult for him to make too many comments, but Sosuke was definitely the strangest top ninja Kakuzu had ever seen. Sometimes he didn't even feel like a ninja to Kakuzu.
"Perhaps only a ninja like this who doesn't look like a ninja could create the current Ninja Clan." Kakuzu sighed in his heart.
What attracted him to join the Ninja Sect was never the so-called Ninja Sect heritage, nor Sosuke's ability, but the atmosphere of the Ninja Sect, plus a little bit of Sosuke's personal influence.
"Haha, Captain Kakuzu, you also made a great contribution. This time it's all thanks to you." Yahiko had already gotten used to Kakuzu's tone and said with a smile.
"That's good to know. In the ninja world, you can't get anywhere without money." Kakuzu accepted the compliment calmly.
"Can origami be sold for money?" Xiaonan asked curiously.
Mu Yue often praises her for her excellent origami skills.
Kakuzu glanced at Konan and showed a trace of pity: "If you were in the top four of the martial arts tournament, you might be able to make some money with some complicated-looking origami."
Because he occasionally discusses ways to make money with Mu Yue, Kakuzu now has a much broader perspective.
If Konan is in the top four, then her origami can have the gimmick of being the only handmade work of a female ninja among the top four of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament. In addition, Konan is cute, which will add another big point.
It's a pity that Xiaonan did not make it into the top four. Without the top four, its appeal was greatly weakened.
Because in the ninja world, the strong are respected, and it is not enough to just be good-looking, you have to be both strong and good-looking.
Konan looked thoughtful, then his eyes lit up and he said, "How about letting Nagato Origami sell it? He's number one."
Nagato: ...
"It won't work. Nagato's origami will definitely not be as effective as yours." Kakuzu said bluntly.
Nagato's image does not fit in with Origami's style.
He uses all kinds of powerful ninjutsu and whenever he raises his hand he can create irresistible repulsion. Although Nagato is not a tough guy, his fighting style has a simple and rough beauty, which has nothing to do with origami.
"Yes, and Nagato doesn't know how to fold paper yet, so he'll need time to learn." Konan found that this suggestion was indeed not a good one.
"Kou Jie!"
Gastly suddenly floated out, floating in front of Nagato and uttered a confident voice.
"Gars, do you want to help Nagato Origami? But you don't even have hands." Konan reminded.
Although Gastly doesn't look like a creature from the mortal world, after getting used to it, Xiaonan thinks Gastly is quite cute.
"Kou Jie?"
Gastly's eyes widened and he looked at his body in disbelief, it seemed that he really had no hands.
Nagato smiled, but when he thought about the fact that it was his summoning beast, he tried hard to control his expression so that his smile would not be too obvious.
"Hahaha." Yahiko laughed loudly without any hesitation.
Gastly scared him a lot at first.
"Kou Jie!"
Gastly stuck out his tongue and licked Yahiko with a depressed look on his face. Although he had no hands, his tongue was very long!
As he was eating, Yahiko was not prepared and was caught off guard by Gastly.
Yahiko suddenly felt his body go numb and then lost control, falling backwards.
Nagato, who was beside Yahiko, moved very quickly and grabbed Yahiko in time to prevent him from falling.
"Sure enough, your body is poisonous. It's numb just after I licked it." Yahiko couldn't help but complain.
Looking at Gastly with purple mist all around him, Yahiko felt that there was some poison on Gastly.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Yahiko's idea. As a Pokémon with both ghost and poison attributes, Gastly is naturally poisonous.
"Kou Jie!"
Gastly showed a proud expression. It was proud of its poison!
Fortunately, Gastly was born not long ago and its power was not strong. The paralysis came and went quickly, and Yahiko soon continued to eat, drink and chat.
Happy times always pass by unknowingly.
By the time Nagato came to his senses, the banquet was over and he was already on his way to the training room.
"That's great." Nagato sighed in his heart.
No matter how many times he recalled it in his heart, Nagato felt that it was great to meet Mu Yue, and that life in the Ninja Clan was great now.
Before he met Mu Yue and joined the Ninja Clan, apart from the life before his parents' death, what Nagato missed most was the days when he, Yahiko and Konan learned ninjutsu from Jiraiya.
Although they were learning ninjutsu, Jiraiya was actually more of an elder who took care of them and lived with them.
Before meeting Jiraiya, Nagato had been wandering for quite a long time, often having no food to eat. Now that he felt the care of a reliable elder again, one can imagine his feelings for Jiraiya.
So, even at this time, if Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of Nagato, Nagato would definitely be very excited and happy to greet Jiraiya.
But if Nagato had to choose the time in his life that he felt was the happiest and most meaningful, in his life so far, it would be now.
In his current life in the Ninja Clan, Nagato has the company of Konan Yahiko, with whom he grew up, a teacher like Mu Yue whom he can trust unconditionally, and a large number of ninjas who have the same goals as him and move forward together.
Although the time spent studying with Jiraiya was happy, it did not change the Rain Country like the Ninja Clan did, bringing peace to the people of the Rain Country and preventing the creation of more war orphans.
Therefore, Nagato feels that the current life of the Ninja Clan is more meaningful.
"Teacher Mu Yue." Nagato saw Mu Yue in the lounge, looked around, and called out Mu Yue's real name.
Although the name is just a code name, Nagato still prefers to call Mu Yue by her real name in private.
Mu Yue nodded slightly, and then began to guide Nagato to practice Yang Breathing.
The Breathing of the Sun is very important to Nagato because Nagato's Rinnegan is not his own.
If it is just for normal use, Nagato will not be affected too much because of the strong chakra in his body.
But if he uses the Rinnegan to fight with all his strength, it will cause damage to Nagato's body.
For example, using the Super God Luo Tianzheng, or activating the Outer Path Golem.
The Breathing of Yang cannot cure Nagato's problems completely, but if it is practiced to a high level, it can alleviate the problems to a great extent.
This prevents Nagato from using his full strength to directly shorten his lifespan with a Super Shinra Tensei.
After a few hours, Mu Yue asked Nagato to rest for a while and left the training room.
When Mu Yue returned again, she was holding two bowls of steaming ramen in her hands.
Mu Yue handed one of the bowls to Nagato and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Nagato thanked him and took the ramen, and was immediately attracted by its tempting aroma.
Nagato, who was a little hungry because of training, quickly picked up the chopsticks and kept picking up the ramen and putting it into the air. After eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, he took a sip of the hot ramen soup.
The warmth flowing through his body swept away Nagato's fatigue, and he instantly became more energetic.
The only thing that made Nagato feel a little regretful was that this seemingly large bowl of ramen tasted like it was gone after just a few bites.
Nagato knew it was his illusion. There was indeed a lot of ramen, but because it tasted so good and he was so engrossed in eating it, he had the illusion that he had finished it in just a few bites.
"Thank you so much, Teacher Mu Yue." Nagato thanked Mu Yue again.
While the Ninja Clan was busy with its affairs, Mu Yue guided him in his training and helped him make midnight snacks. Mu Yue was so nice to him that Nagato felt embarrassed.
"It's just a matter of convenience. After all, I'm hungry too." Mu Yue smiled and told Nagato not to take it to heart.
[You gave me the top-grade ramen I made myself. I am extremely grateful and rewarded you with a super critical hit. I got the reward - water attribute chakra property change (perfect level)]
Along with the appearance of rewards, a large number of memories of the changes in the nature of water-attribute chakra emerged in Mu Yue's mind. Mu Yue's understanding of the changes in the nature of water-attribute chakra increased rapidly, and his ability to change the nature of water-attribute chakra was greatly enhanced.
The smile on Mu Yue's face became even more intense.
The rewards for teaching and learning actually depend a bit on luck. You may be rewarded with some kind of chakra property change, or a certain ninjutsu.
Compared to a certain perfect-level ninjutsu, the perfect-level nature change is undoubtedly more rare and has a greater increase in strength.
"If it's thunder attribute, it would be truly perfect." Mu Yue thought after taking a look at the panel.
[Skills: Fire attribute chakra property change (perfect level), water attribute chakra property change (perfect level: 1), lightning attribute chakra property change (mastery level: 7060)...]
Wuxiang's sword is also the product of S+ scroll extraction. If Mu Yue's lightning chakra property change can reach the perfect level, the power of Wuxiang's sword can be greatly enhanced.
Another aspect is that the water attribute chakra property change only needs 5,000 points of proficiency to reach the perfect level, while the lightning attribute chakra requires 8,000 points of proficiency, making it more difficult to upgrade independently.
The next second, Mu Yue no longer thought about the changes in the properties of the perfect-level lightning-attribute chakra.
Although the lightning attribute chakra property change is the most profitable, the perfect water attribute chakra property change is also considered good luck.
After all, the proficiency of skills becomes more and more difficult to improve as time goes by. If Mu Yue really wants to practice on her own, she may not be able to make up the remaining 5,000 proficiency points even if she practices for 30 years.
After sorting out the memories, Mu Yue did not let Nagato continue practicing, but chatted with Nagato.
After all, I have finished my midnight snack and it is almost time to go to bed, so there is no need to practice anymore.
"I don't know when I will be able to eat ramen again." Nagato was still savoring the bowl of ramen.
The ramen made by Mu Yue is definitely the best ramen Nagato has ever eaten. No, it is the most delicious food.
It was so delicious that Nagato felt sorry that Konan and Yahiko had never tasted such a delicacy.
But Nagato had no choice, Mu Yue was the leader of the Ninja Clan, not the head chef of the Ninja Clan.
It was already a blessing for him that Mu Yue was willing to take the time to make a bowl of ramen for him. Did he have to go even further and ask Mu Yue to make one for Yahiko and the others as well?
Nagato couldn't say that, nor did he want to.
Because only he knew that as the leader of the Ninja Sect, Mu Yue was busier than everyone imagined, because Mu Yue not only had to develop the Ninja Sect, but also had to take care of Konoha.
