Chapter 18: Gaining Water Attribute Mastery
The moment Makoto announced the start of the exam, Obito began to retreat quickly, forming seals and performing ninjutsu while retreating.
He knew that Might Gai was very good at physical arts, so naturally he would not compete with Might Gai in physical arts.
"Clone technique!"
Puff! !
After the ninjutsu was performed, two clones exactly like him appeared next to Obito.
The three Obitos kept crossing each other and running, trying to confuse Might Gai.
"Konoha Tornado!"
But Might Gai's speed was faster than Obito expected, and he caught up in an instant. An extremely fast whirlwind kick instantly dissipated the two clones, and Obito's body also disappeared. He was kicked back more than a meter.
"It's so powerful." Obito's arm trembled uncontrollably. He resisted the kick with his arm. Now his arm was aching.
Might Gai was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, and immediately bullied him forward, forcing Obito to continue the close combat with him.
But in a purely physical confrontation, Obito was no match for Might Gai, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
"Who do you think will win?" The onlookers began to discuss the final winner.
"Might Gai, it feels like Uchiha Obito will be defeated soon." A student analyzed the situation at the scene.
"Not necessarily. When Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Ikunori fought before, they were at a disadvantage in their physical skills, but in the end they still won with fire escape." Some people think that Obito, who has mastered powerful fire escape, just hasn't exerted his strength yet.
After all, Obito actually defeated the former No. 1 Uchiha Ikunori, and his record is still very good.
"Teacher Makoto, who do you think will win?" Kimura suddenly asked.
"Might Gai." Makoto thought for a while and replied.
"Yes, although Uchiha Obito has mastered the powerful Fire Release, this examination venue is not suitable for him to perform." Kimura agreed.
Makoto nodded. In fact, the strength of the two was almost the same.
But Obito is currently like a fort mage who doesn't have much melee ability and can't cast spells without chanting. It's difficult to beat Might Gai, a high-speed warrior, in such a flat land.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Might Gai caught Obito and kicked him away with a Konoha whirlwind.
"Might Gai wins." Makoto announced the final results of the exam.
The student who just thought Obito would win couldn't help but cover his forehead. He felt that Obito never disappoints in this aspect.
Just when you thought he was going to lose against Uchiha Ikunori, he won.
When you thought he would win against Might Gai, he lost.
"Might Gai, you are so powerful. How do you train?" Some classmates couldn't help but start asking Might Gai for tips on becoming stronger.
"How to exercise? I get up at about 5:30 in the morning and run around Konoha to class, and then practice Taijutsu on wooden stakes all night. On weekends..." Might Gai thought about his daily schedule and then answered.
"Farewell!" The inquiring student immediately admired Might Gai when he woke up at 5:30 in the morning. Later, he mentioned that after practicing physical skills on wooden stakes all night, he no longer wanted to hear it.
He felt that even official ninjas wouldn't practice like this every day.
"Obito, are you okay?" Rin walked to Obito's side and asked with concern.
Obito patted the dust on his body and said easily:
"It must be fine. I lost this time, but I will definitely win next time."
In front of the girl he likes, everything should be fine.
But Nohara Rin is not that easy to fool. She grabbed Obito's arm, rolled up the sleeves, and saw a few bruises. Then she glared at Obito and said:
"Do you think it will be useful if you show off your strength? Your injuries will not recover just because you show off your strength. Let's go to the infirmary quickly and apply some medicine."
After saying that, Rin took Obito to the infirmary.
Obito said don't worry, but he didn't resist and followed Rin away.
The mouth is a bit rebellious, but the body is really honest.
The practical exam on the second day after ranking first in the class ended here.
Tomorrow's exam will be for each class to send the top two students in the class to take a practical exam to determine the top-grade student.
After the exam, Might Gai was about to say goodbye to Makoto and go home. He wanted to tell his father Matdai the good news.
Might Gai could already imagine in his mind the scene of his father bursting into tears and shouting about his youth.
However, Makoto did not let Gai leave immediately. Instead, he took Gai to an uninhabited land on the grounds that he had something to give to Gai. Makoto smiled and said, "Gai, congratulations on getting the first place."
After that, Makoto took out a booklet and handed it to Might Gai:
"This is a taijutsu training manual that I wrote recently when I had nothing to do. It also contains some of my ideas for the subsequent development of Konoha Tornado. Just treat it as yours. A gift for being number one in the class."
Might Gai saw the manual, but he also noticed Makoto's hand holding the manual.
Makoto's hand looked clean on the surface, but Might Gai, who was sharp-eyed, noticed that there were some very light ash on Makoto's palm, like traces of ink that she had tried hard to wash but failed to clean.
After looking at the content inside, Might Gai understood everything in an instant.
I didn't write this casually when I had nothing to do. I'm afraid I didn't spend a lot of energy to think hard and write it to him. Even if he didn't get the first place, I would give it to him for other reasons.
The ideas for the follow-up development of Konoha Tornado made Might Gai feel that it was tailor-made for him. If he hadn't spent time on this, Might Gai wouldn't have believed it.
"Teacher Makoto, I will definitely not let down your efforts, and I will definitely become the strongest taijutsu ninja in the future!" The emotional Might Gai was directly moved to tears.
Makoto took out the paper and wiped away the tears for Might Gai, patted Might Gai's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"It's good that you think so. For a teacher, the best reward is for his disciples to become stronger."
When he said this, Makoto's expression was extremely sincere.
"Yeah!" Might Gai nodded heavily. At this moment, his belief in becoming stronger was a little firmer.
Looking at Might Gai who was gradually going away, Makoto looked at the system messages and smiled on his face.
[You gave the disciple a physical training manual. Because the disciple was very grateful, he was rewarded with a big critical hit and gained proficiency in changing the nature of water chakra]
[Disciple Might Gai's trust level increased, and the current trust level is three]
"Good luck." Makoto felt very good when I see the extra memories in my mind.
The rewards returned from apprenticeships are related to what the disciple is good at. For example, Shisui and Obito have more explosive fire escapes and more taijutsu. However, there are also surprises, and sometimes there are unrelated rewards.
Compared with being proficient in a certain physical skill, being proficient in the chakra attribute is undoubtedly much better. Makoto is very satisfied. If there are more of them, he may be able to develop his own blood inheritance limit.
As for the trust level improvement, that is an additional surprise.
Makoto feels that in the future, good quality items must be carefully planned before being sent out, so as to arouse emotions to the maximum, so that it is easier to explode good items.
For example, this time, if it were given to Might Gai in ordinary times, he would probably only be able to show off some skilled ninjutsu and taijutsu.
But when Might Gai was excited about winning first place, he sent it out, and inadvertently let Might Gai see the ink marks on his hands that couldn't be washed away. Finally, he asked for some chicken soup, and the effect was completely different.
Giving gifts when he takes first place will remind Might Gai of Makoto's teachings to him. Without Makoto's teachings, would he be able to take first place? This initially arouses emotions.
Let Might Gai see the ink marks on his hand, and know how difficult this gift is. He can make up for Makoto's efforts and amplify his emotions. Finally, he adds some chicken soup, and his emotions explode in an instant.
"After the exam tomorrow, the results should be out in two days." Makoto was still wondering whether the system would issue exam rewards.
It stands to reason that if the students perform so well, the teacher should be rewarded.
