Chapter 700: Exchange Meeting

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Exchange Meeting

[Synthesis successful. Obtained item: Random Skill Draw Scroll · S+ Mastery Level.]

After combining the fragments into a complete scroll, Mugetsu prepared for the draw as usual.

He carefully washed his hands, silently reciting the names of every god and Buddha he could think of during the process.

A Random Skill Draw Scroll depended on luck far more than an Optional Skill Extraction Scroll.

Although an S+ Rank scroll would never produce a useless ability, the type of skill was completely random. There was no guarantee that what he obtained would actually be useful to him.

For example, Mugetsu already possessed an extremely powerful Fire Release ability like Azure Flame.

If he drew another flame based ability, its value to him would be considerably lower.

Mugetsu mentally selected the Random Skill Draw Scroll in his inventory and confirmed the draw.

In an instant, an enormous roulette wheel appeared before his eyes.

Countless abilities from different worlds flashed across its surface.

Conqueror’s Haki from the One Piece world.

Cross Lightning from the Pokémon world.

Cursed Techniques from the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

And many more.

There were countless powerful abilities among them.

Unfortunately, Mugetsu could only obtain one.

The roulette pointer spun rapidly before gradually slowing.

After repeatedly changing speed, it finally stopped on an ability marked by several dragon shaped icons.

[Random Skill Draw Scroll · S+ consumed.]

[Obtained Skill: Gōryūtenmetsu, Mastery Level.]

The moment the draw was completed, an enormous amount of training experience flooded into Mugetsu’s mind.

In only an instant, he completely mastered the powerful technique known as Gōryūtenmetsu.

After organizing the new knowledge in his mind, Mugetsu showed an interested expression.

He was not unfamiliar with this ability.

Gōryūtenmetsu originated from the Kidō system of the Shinigami world. More specifically, it was a Hadō centered entirely on attack and destruction.

After being adapted to the Ninja World, Gōryūtenmetsu retained a characteristic very similar to its original form.

Extreme destructive power.

Gōryūtenmetsu possessed no chakra nature transformation.

It relied entirely on chakra shape transformation.

However, it had one extremely powerful characteristic.

It could draw in natural energy from the surrounding environment.

Within the area affected by Gōryūtenmetsu, the earth would tremble and collapse, lightning would descend from the sky, and gentle winds could turn into violent storms.

Under the combined force of powerful chakra and multiple natural disasters, everything within the technique’s range would be destroyed.

Based on Mugetsu’s understanding, Gōryūtenmetsu was primarily a technique for dealing with weaker enemies.

At his current level, unless a natural disaster reached truly apocalyptic proportions, it would not threaten him much.

Even with the chakra dragons generated by Gōryūtenmetsu itself, the technique’s maximum offensive output was not especially high by Mugetsu’s standards.

Its true advantage was its enormous area of effect.

Mugetsu felt that it would be exceptionally useful for clearing large numbers of weaker enemies.

In that respect, it might even surpass Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees.

If an enemy force consisted of two or three thousand ninja, Mugetsu could simply use Gōryūtenmetsu once.

Half a minute later, there might not be anyone left alive.

That level of efficiency against large groups was extremely exaggerated.

After all, even Iwagakure, which possessed a relatively large ninja population, had only a little over ten thousand active ninja.

"Using chakra to directly control natural energy and strengthen a technique..."

Mugetsu revealed a thoughtful expression.

To him, gaining an especially efficient ability for eliminating weaker opponents was not particularly important.

What truly interested him was the effect Gōryūtenmetsu had gained after being adapted to the Ninja World.

It gave Mugetsu new ideas for developing Ninjutsu.

Natural energy was an external force.

Drawing it into the body and combining it with physical and spiritual energy produced Senjutsu chakra, which formed the basis of Sage Mode.

Then could natural energy instead be borrowed directly from the outside world to strengthen Ninjutsu?

If that were possible, the upper limit of Ninjutsu might become incredibly high.

After all, no human’s personal chakra reserves could compare with the amount of natural energy contained within an entire planet.

Mugetsu took out paper and a pen and immediately wrote down the idea.

Gōryūtenmetsu essentially triggered a violent disturbance in natural energy, causing various natural disasters.

However, the Ninjutsu Mugetsu envisioned would require the borrowed natural energy to remain fully controllable.

Because of that fundamental difference, he could not simply copy Gōryūtenmetsu’s method and apply it directly to the development of other Ninjutsu.

"Still, the shape transformation itself is unusual."

Mugetsu continued writing.

"If suitable nature transformations were added, the destructive power should increase considerably. But that might interfere with its ability to attract natural energy."

Mugetsu casually recorded several ideas for improving Gōryūtenmetsu.

If he developed a version of Gōryūtenmetsu incorporating all five basic chakra nature transformations, the technique’s maximum offensive output should increase dramatically.

However, its ability to eliminate large numbers of weaker opponents might decrease somewhat as a result.

After recording all of his ideas, Mugetsu spent some time reviewing the insights he had accumulated regarding Sage Mode.

Everything had to be done step by step.

At present, his Sage Mode was only at the proficient level, with roughly two thousand proficiency points.

He should first raise Sage Mode to the Mastery Level.

Only after that would he begin seriously developing the Breathing Stream Sage Art.

...

At eight o’clock that evening, someone knocked on Mugetsu’s door.

"Come in. The door isn’t locked."

Mugetsu had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to move into the living room.

Obito pushed the door open and entered with a grin.

"Teacher Mugetsu, are you busy today?"

"Not really. If you have a question, just ask," Mugetsu replied, setting down the book in his hands.

Recently, Obito had occasionally visited Mugetsu’s home in the evening to ask questions about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

[Name: Uchiha Obito]

[Skill: Flying Thunder God Technique, Beginner Level: 90/100.]

With the support of Mugetsu’s Teaching, Enlightenment, and Dispelling Doubts abilities, Obito’s progress in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique had been quite impressive.

In only three months, he had raised his proficiency to ninety points.

He was only ten points away from truly mastering the technique.

"Hehe, then I’ll trouble you again, Teacher Mugetsu. I’m still having some trouble with spatial transfer."

Obito did not waste time and immediately explained the problem he had encountered.

Although he was now leading a squad, Obito had never neglected his own training.

If his responsibilities left him with less time during the day, he simply made up for it at night.

After all, strength remained essential in the Ninja World.

A Hokage did not necessarily need to be the single strongest ninja in the Village.

But under normal circumstances, they at least had to stand among the strongest.

Mugetsu did not disappoint him.

Under Mugetsu’s detailed explanation, the complicated principles behind space time Ninjutsu gradually became much easier to understand.

"So that’s how it works. I think I understand it a little now," Obito said with a look of sudden realization.

"As expected, when it comes to learning Ninjutsu, Teacher Mugetsu is still the best."

Obito could not help sighing.

He had actually asked Minato about the Flying Thunder God Technique as well.

After all, in terms of the Flying Thunder God Technique alone, Minato’s mastery was even greater than Mugetsu’s.

Whenever Minato explained it, Obito could clearly sense just how profound his understanding was.

The problem was that understanding Minato’s explanations was extremely difficult.

"Oh, right."

Mugetsu suddenly remembered something.

"There will be an exchange meeting with Kirigakure soon. Konoha will send a group of ninja to the Land of Water for the exchange. Do you want to go?"

The proposal had originally come from Kirigakure.

At first, the exchange was supposed to take place in Konoha.

However, after discussion among Konoha’s leadership, they decided that Konoha would visit the Land of Water first.

Kirigakure could then send its own delegation to Konoha during the next exchange.

As the largest island nation in the Ninja World, the Land of Water possessed many unique plants and animals that did not exist in the Land of Fire.

Mugetsu thought Obito might be interested in seeing them.

"The Land of Water?"

Obito’s eyes lit up.

"I want to go."

It was a country he had never visited before.

After thinking for a moment, Obito asked, "Can Rin and the others come too?"

"If they want to go, there are enough available places," Mugetsu replied with a nod.

As Hokage, he naturally possessed enough authority to arrange something like that.

Besides, Rin and the others were fully qualified to participate.
