Chapter 64: Reasons To Be The First

Start from the beginning
                                    

Due to the systematic secret medicine that repaired his body and alleviated hidden injuries, Mutsuki could be said to be pushing Shisui to his limits every day.

In addition to Shisui's natural talent in Body Flicker Jutsu, Mutsuki felt confident in passing on the Soru technique to him.

Upon hearing the mention of the Body Flicker Jutsu that Mutsuki had previously talked about, Obito and Guy couldn't help but pay attention to Mutsuki's instructions.

"Didn't you say one needs to be the top in practical combat to qualify?" Obito asked.

"Shisui received this as a reward for his earlier achievement, and besides, do you think Shisui won't be able to secure the top spot in his year group again?" Mutsuki replied with a smile.

Thinking about it, Obito realized that even if Shisui were placed in the fourth year, he could wreak havoc, let alone among kids his age.

With Shisui around, the practical combat exams for the first year seemed to have already concluded before even starting, devoid of any suspense.

Mutsuki grabbed Shisui with his hand, and instantly, a Soru brought them over a dozen meters away.

Obito, watching Soru performed as if it were instantaneous teleportation, couldn't help but reveal an expression of longing.

If he could master such a Body Flicker Jutsu, how cool would he appear in his daily life?

Entering the classroom, others would see him just entering the door, but in an instant, he would be seated. If the sensei called him to the podium to answer a question, he could disappear and reappear, startling the sensei.

Helping elderly people walk would also become faster, allowing them to experience a sensation akin to the wind.

"I must secure the first place in practical combat, let Rin know that I've become strong, and make that annoying Kakashi dare not underestimate me again," Obito silently swore in his heart.

Having endured Kakashi's mocking face too many times, this time he had to prove himself.

"Such incredible speed! If I can master this Body Flicker Jutsu proficiently, I might have a chance against Kakashi!" Guy watched as Mutsuki instantly disappeared and then reappeared in the distance, thinking to himself.

His speed might be impressive for Obito, but when facing Kakashi, it seemed a bit insufficient.

Guy believed that if he could learn this Body Flicker Jutsu, he could catch Kakashi off guard with his speed. Even if defeating Kakashi was out of reach, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as the last time.

"To defeat Kakashi, I must acquire this Body Flicker Jutsu, and I must secure the first place in this practical combat exam!"

Guy was already getting fired up, wishing to skip this week, bypass the theoretical exams, and dive straight into the practical combat exams.

Mutsuki, observing Obito and Guy from the corner of his eye, nodded inwardly. This was precisely the effect he wanted to achieve.

Sometimes, having too many prescribed training contents was not as effective as letting disciples demonstrate their own initiative.

With the reward of the Body Flicker Jutsu as motivation, there was no fear of a lack of drive.

In addition, with the conscientious training fanatic, Guy, there was no fear that Obito would slack off without someone supervising him directly.

Seeing his classmate and rival, Guy, training vigorously, can Obito leave with peace of mind?

"This Body Flicker Jutsu is called Soru, and the main difficulty lies in the rapid release of Chakra to strengthen the body for high-speed movement in a short period." Mutsuki began to focus on teaching Shisui the Body Flicker Jutsu.

In the world of One Piece, Soru relies on the rapid consecutive stomping of the ground to generate a reactive force for high-speed movement.

Initially, Mutsuki felt it was a bit far-fetched when watching the anime. However, upon careful consideration, with the physical abilities in the world of pirates, it might indeed be possible.

The Naruto world's version of Soru, modified by the system, was very ninja-like.Mutsuki felt it was a similar to other Taijutsu.

The Shinobi World version of Soru didn't rely on the reactive force generated by stomping the ground. Instead, it involved rapidly stepping on the ground while using a special Chakra technique to reinforce the legs multiple times, thereby unleashing an extremely high speed.

It's evident that the core of the Shinobi World version of Soru lies in that special Chakra technique, making it truly ninja-like.

"Strengthening multiple times in a short period?" Shisui was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had heard of this technique.

No wonder Mutsuki had him train his body for a month. The Body Flicker Jutsu he had learned before caused fatigue if used multiple times in quick succession. This Soru technique sounded much more advanced than the previous Body Flicker Jutsu.

He was very excited about the upcoming training. If he could master this Body Flicker Jutsu, his speed would undoubtedly increase significantly.
