Chapter 76: Chapter 77: Might Guy’s New Mission
"Might Guy, you look in great shape today."
On a Sunday morning, Mu Yue arrived at the usual training spot and found Might Guy already there, lifting a large boulder while doing squats.
"I think what you said before makes a lot of sense, Teacher Mu Yue. Engaging in an honest fight with a strong opponent helps solidify the results of my training. So last night…"
Might Guy recounted how he had challenged Kakashi the previous evening and lost.
"I'm glad you take your teacher's words to heart. That makes me very happy." Mu Yue smiled.
"As long as you keep working hard in the days to come, I believe you'll surpass your rival and become the strongest. You're a genius of effort!"
"A genius of effort…" Might Guy's body visibly tensed at hearing this phrase. It resonated with him perfectly.
"With your guidance, Teacher Mu Yue, I'm confident in my path to becoming the strongest!" Might Guy said with a radiant smile.
Reflecting on the changes in himself, Might Guy realized just how significant Mu Yue's presence was.
In fact, after being Mu Yue's student for so long, even individuals like Might Guy and Obito, who were somewhat slow on the uptake, had started noticing something odd.
Given the skills Mu Yue had displayed in front of them, he was far above the level of a regular Chūnin teacher.
But Might Guy didn't care about such details. He could feel that Mu Yue genuinely cared about him. Whenever the students made significant progress, it seemed like Mu Yue was even happier than they were.
Aside from Mu Yue, Might Guy had only ever seen this kind of reaction from his father.
"With Teacher Mu Yue's guidance, I'll definitely defeat Kakashi one day!" Might Guy's confidence in himself and Mu Yue was unshakable.
[Student Might Guy has triggered a training mission.]
[Training Mission: Defeat Kakashi.]
[Reward: Determined by the degree of success and growth during the mission.]
Seeing the long-awaited notification pop up, Mu Yue nodded to himself. His method had worked. He had essentially mastered the mechanics of triggering training missions.
It had been over two months since he first unlocked the training mission system. Through continuous testing, Mu Yue had discovered several key conditions.
Training missions primarily depended on the students' personal ambitions. For individuals like Might Guy and Obito, triggering these missions was relatively easy. For Shisui, however, it was much more difficult.
This was because Shisui was too dominant among his peers; there was no one to give him pressure, no one he aimed to surpass, and being first place came naturally to him.
Mu Yue had even tried to coax Shisui into triggering a training mission, but after several attempts, he had failed.
He speculated that the system might not allow missions aimed at broader or longer-term goals. Otherwise, given Shisui's personality, it wouldn't be surprising if he triggered a mission to resolve the Uchiha clan's predicament.
Alternatively, it could be related to trust levels. Missions seemed to require a trust level of three to trigger. Perhaps new options would unlock at level four.
Even though Shisui couldn't trigger training missions right now, Mu Yue still valued him highly.
Perhaps due to his superior talent and rigorous training, Shisui's chakra had grown significantly. Of all the students, his Return of the Apprentice chakra contributions were the highest, surpassing Obito and Might Guy combined.
Shisui was also the only student so far to unlock a strength-growth reward.
Mu Yue estimated that it would still take some time before Obito and Might Guy reached that milestone.
Before long, Shisui also arrived, ready for training.
With two students present, Mu Yue gathered them together to begin teaching the "Shave" technique.
Obito was the last to arrive. Seeing Might Guy and Shisui already learning the "Shave" technique, he couldn't help but feel envious.
However, when he recalled the steep "entry fee" and difficulty of the physical challenge, Obito felt a headache coming on.
"I'll start jogging at night," Obito thought to himself. "It should help to some extent. Stronger legs will not only improve my speed but also make using chakra less exhausting."
Thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's involvement, the summer training camp was quickly organized.
For fourth-year students, attendance was mandatory unless there were special circumstances. Students from other grades who received an invitation had the option to decline.
The primary goal of the training camp wasn't the recently graduated Genin or the standout students from other grades, but the fourth-year students who were about to graduate.
The academy personally sent teachers to inform the families and discuss the program with the parents.
Mu Yue felt that, given the harsh realities of the shinobi world, no parent would oppose their child becoming stronger.
No matter how gloriously the academy portrayed the shinobi profession, the truth was that it remained incredibly dangerous.
News of the Third Kazekage's disappearance had already spread throughout Konoha. Anyone even slightly aware of the current geopolitical climate understood that war was inevitable.
Recalling the earlier skirmishes between Konoha and Kumogakure, it was clear that Konoha wouldn't be able to stay out of this conflict.
The selection of standout students from each grade was left to Mu Yue, with each grade allowed to send eight participants. He had the instructors choose based on combat scores.
From Mu Yue's class, four students made the cut: Shisui, Anko, Kotetsu Hagane, and Izumo Kamizuki.
Anko, upon hearing that she had to participate in an additional month of training during the summer, was stunned.
This was barely a week into their vacation, and now she was being called back to the academy.
Her only solace was that this training camp focused solely on practical combat without any theory lessons. Moreover, it would be led by her favorite teacher, Mu Yue.
Among the standout students, almost none declined the invitation.
On the other hand, very few of the graduated Genin applied for the training—only a dozen or so.
Mu Yue could understand this. Compared to the academy's Chūnin instructors, most would naturally trust the guidance of their assigned Jōnin.
Because this training camp was such a large undertaking, Mu Yue took the initiative to report it separately to Danzo, explaining its purpose and scope.
After all, this was the first summer training program ever held at the academy, even extending invitations to the recently graduated Genin.
Danzo seemed pleased with Mu Yue's initiative and rewarded him with some Root-exclusive training elixirs.
In his reply, Danzo urged Mu Yue to excel in this program and leverage its success to secure a promotion to Tokubetsu Jōnin. He also included a slew of PUA rhetoric.
Mu Yue thought the original owner of his body might have been moved by such words, but for him, it only deepened his distaste for Danzo.
He didn't even want to use the elixirs Danzo had given him, considering their source.
