Chapter 71:
[Disciple Might Gai's training mission has been completed successfully. You received the rewards: Chakra +1000, Stone Breathing(Mastery Level)]
[Disciple Uchiha Obito's training mission has been completed. You received progress rewards: Chakra +700, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation (Proficient Level)]
Several messages quickly popped up on the system panel.
Makoto observed, looking at the difference in rewards between the two disciples. He roughly understood the reward mechanism of the training mission.
The training mission rewards consist of two parts: one is the strength improved during the training mission, and the other is the mission goal.
During the mission, Obito's Taijutsu grew a lot, but he did not complete the first goal, so his rewards were lower than those of Might Gai.
Makoto focused on the reward "stone breathing" and immediately recognized that this was not a ninjutsu from the Ninja world.
With the experience of getting rewarded Soru from One Piece, Makoto anticipated the system would offer things from different worlds and then adapt them for use in the Naruto world.
Recalling the decades of Stone Breathing practice that suddenly appeared in his mind and reviewing the memory, Makoto believed that the Ninja World's version of Stone Breath could be considered a forbidden technique.
Mastering the Breath of Stone enables the user to fully concentrate their breath at critical moments, releasing tremendous power. Being proficient in Stone Breathing allows for 24/7 concentrated breathing, continuously improving physical strength.
Once mastered, it enables users to channel chakra throughout their body, strengthening themselves, and significantly enhancing their overall strength.
"It's more suitable for me than the Eight Gates," Makoto thought to himself.
He realized that the Eight Gate and Breath of the Stone complemented each other when used together.
The Eight Gate could increase chakra within the body, but the chakra was too violent for ninjutsu. The patterned state of Breath of the Stone, on the other hand, required no intricate chakra manipulation.
The surplus chakra from the Eight Gates could be used to maintain the chakra required for the striped state. Combining the Eight Gates and the Stone Breathing would primarily depend on the body's ability to withstand it.
Makoto saw the beauty of learning the breathing techniques.
He concluded that using seven gates with the Breath of Stone is equivalent to opening the 8 gates, except that he doesn't have to worry about dying.
Makoto was genuinely excited about the Ninja World's version of Stone Breathing, considering it a significant improvement. The skill Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation paled in comparison.
Makoto opened his personal panel:
[Name: Hosakawa Makoto]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 11,300]
[Skills: Chef, Three-Finger Seal, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, Soru, Earth Release: Earth Spear, Stone Breath...]
[Evaluation: You have mastered many ninjutsu, including high-level ninjutsu and forbidden arts with terrifying power. You can unleash amazing strength at will.]
Makoto was elated to have his chakra points successfully crossing into the five digits. It had taken him just one semester to progress from 4,030 to his current 11,300.
Ninja school had three semesters each year. If he could sustain this growth every semester, his chakra would increase by 20,000 annually, excluding any growth during holidays.
"The current chakra should be considered as 4.5 Chibi Kakashis," Makoto thought to himself.
In his previous life, people often used Kakashi as the unit of chakra measurement, but he used Kakashi as a child.
After the exam ended, teachers and students departed.
"Are you okay, Obito?" Nohara Rin approached Obito, concerned.
"Heh. It's but a kick..."
"Don't be brave; let me support you," Nohara Rin said, holding her forehead.
"No, I'm really fine. I just lost because of my carelessness." Obito gritted his teeth and continued.
He was truly reluctant to lose this time, especially in front of Makoto and Nohara Rin. He knew Kakashi would tease him for not securing first place. This sucks. He feels really depressed.
"Teacher Makoto." Obito's eyes shifted as he saw Makoto approaching.
"How are you? Are you feeling well? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?" Makoto asked with a concerned expression. Comforting students who hadn't performed well was essential.
"No, it's okay, actually," Obito replied honestly.
"It's better to get yourself checked. Injuries can worsen," Makoto advised warmly.
"Teacher Makoto is right; we should go to the infirmary," Nohara Rin agreed.
"Rin, please go back first. Teacher Makoto and I will go to the infirmary," Obito suggested.
"I'll go too," Nohara Rin insisted, concerned about Obito.
"No need; Teacher Makoto is here." Obito didn't want to trouble Nohara Rin too much.
"I'll go with Obito," Might Gai offered.
Fighting with all his strength hadn't changed his view of Obito as a friend.
"Rin, please go back first," Obito insisted.
After thinking it over, Nohara Rin realized that Makoto was a reliable teacher. Combined with Obito's persuasion, she eventually headed home on her own.
In the infirmary, Makoto found a reason to send Might Gai away and started talking with Obito.
"Don't let the results of one exam affect you. There are two exams each semester and six exams in a year. If it didn't go well this time, you can work harder for the next one," Makoto advised earnestly.
"Don't think that not getting first place would let me down. In that case, one of you or Gai would have to let me down, and this would happen twice each semester," Makoto said jokingly.
Obito laughed and thought that Makoto's words made sense. The exams aren't one-time affairs; there are other chances in the following semesters. He resolved to work harder.
"As long as you practice hard and improve your strength, you won't disappoint me," Makoto reassured Obito, patting his head.
"Teacher Makoto..." Obito was touched by Makoto's sincere and serious words. He decided to secure first place in the next semester to prove that he was no less capable than Might Gai and that Makoto's teachings were not in vain.
[Disciple Uchiha Obito sets a training mission]
[Training mission: Get first place in the next ninja school combat exam]
Seeing the system prompt, Makoto smiled happily.
After consoling the defeated student, Makoto didn't forget to reward the victorious one. He left the infirmary, accompanied by Might Gai.
