"Obito, have you encountered something good recently? You seem unusually happy today," Rin asked curiously when she saw Obito in a good mood.
"Of course, it's because the good days are coming," Obito said with a smirk.
Although the number of questions seemed to increase after the changes in the battle rules, training offset that. With staggered questions, the actual number of questions done each day didn't change much.
Now that he was gradually getting stronger, the number of questions decreased, and with offsets and staggered tasks, it was indeed the arrival of good days.
"Obito, you finally remembered the date. Are we going to play together tomorrow?" Rin thought Obito was referring to the weekend, so she invited him.
"The date, playing together tomorrow?" Obito looked puzzled, then thought of a frightening possibility.
"Is today Friday again?" Obito asked Rin.
"Yes, is the good day you mentioned not the weekend?" Rin nodded and asked.
Obito fell silent. He felt like yesterday was Sunday, and now it was Friday again.
In a daze, Obito recalled experiencing this scene several times.
"Could I be trapped in a world where there's only Friday and the weekend?" Obito held his head, unable to accept the reality.
"Obito, what's wrong with you? You look really troubled," Rin said, a bit puzzled.
How could a student look so distressed when the weekend arrives? Isn't it supposed to be a good thing?
"Because I love school and studying so much, the thought of not being able to go to school makes me very uncomfortable," Obito explained forcefully.
Obito wouldn't tell Rin about the embarrassing fact that he fears accumulating a pile of homework over the weekend and not being able to finish it.
"So, Obito, you love studying so much?" Rin was somewhat surprised, feeling that this might be related to Obito's progress this semester.
"Are we still going to play tomorrow?" Rin asked.
"We're going tonight!" Obito replied.
After the change in rules, there was really no energy to play on the weekends. He spent almost the entire day practicing and doing exercises, and by evening, he didn't want to move at all.
Every time he thought about Might Guy, who could practice after training, Obito felt his scalp tingling. What kind of body and willpower does he have?
"Doesn't Guy ever get tired?" Obito looked at Might Guy, who was concentrating on his exercises, with a puzzled expression.
"I hope there's an installment plan with no interest on weekends too." Obito thought about yesterday, silently praying in his heart to the kind Mutsuki.
After school, Obito went to the usual training ground, being the last one to arrive.
Mutsuki gathered the three of them and then assigned a task.
"Guy, give that tree a full-force kick," Mutsuki casually pointed to a lush tree and said.
Might Guy nodded, walked up to the tree, and unleashed a rapid Whirlwind Kick with Chakra.
Crash! The trees fell, directly kicked off by Might Guy.
"My strength is now enough to kick down big trees," Might Guy exclaimed, somewhat surprised.
When he saw Mutsuki swiftly kick down a large tree with his leg, he found it impressive. He didn't expect to achieve the same so quickly.
Next, Mutsuki used Ninjutsu to create a large pit, filled it with Water Release, and said to Obito:
"Obito, use Great Fireball with all your strength to attack the water pit."
Obito followed Mutsuki's instructions, formed seals, and then expelled a huge fireball. Instantly, the water in the pit evaporated, leaving only scorched earth.
"This is the power of my Fire Release," Obito said with wide eyes, considering the water pit was several meters wide.
Just three months ago, his small fireball couldn't have evaporated even a half-meter water pit.
Then, Mutsuki led them through a series of training exercises, such as tree climbing and water walking.
Obito suddenly realized that he had indeed become much stronger. The water walking training that used to make him struggle now allowed him to run around without being knocked over by splashes.
He could easily ascend even the tallest trees with ease, effortlessly melting Ice Blocks as large as two people's heads. Great Fireball and Great Dragon Fire came to him effortlessly.
In the end, Mutsuki gave Obito and Might Guy a simulated exam.
"Sixty points, is this my score?" Obito looked at the score on the test paper, expressing more surprise than when he saw the Fire Release evaporate the water pit.
Last time, getting thirty points in an exam was unprecedented, and now sixty points were an unprecedented high score.
"Fifty-four points!" Might Guy, holding the test paper, shed tears of emotion.
He shared the same feeling as Obito—that the score was too high, almost unreal.
Unable to hold back, Obito asked, "Yumi-sensei, are you really not the Six Paths Sage?"
All the hard work for so long didn't go in vain. Everything received its reward.
Nature Transformation, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Chakra control, and even theoretical achievements—Obito felt that he had become stronger in all aspects, significantly stronger.
At this moment, Obito felt that doing exercises every day and training all day on the weekends didn't matter anymore because the rewards were too substantial.
Continuing like this, he might truly become the Hokage of Konoha.
"Speaking so nicely, are you hoping for interest-free today as well?" Mutsuki asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it would be best if it's interest-free tomorrow too," Obito chuckled.
Although doing exercises didn't feel as significant now, doing fewer exercises was still preferable.
"You're dreaming beautifully; special benefits were only for yesterday," Mutsuki said, tapping Obito's head with two fingers.
The reason for suddenly conducting this training summary was to let the disciples see their progress, motivating them to train even harder.
Timely positive feedback is crucial, and Mutsuki planned to conduct such training summaries regularly.
With the disciples' spirits lifted, Mutsuki didn't waste any time and directly gave the calligraphy he usually wrote to the three disciples.
[You have gifted disciple Uchiha Obito with a handwritten calligraphy. Due to the disciple's profound gratitude, a critical hit is awarded. Obtained Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Spear (Proficient Level)]
A wealth of training experience regarding Earth Release: Earth Spear appeared in Mutsuki's mind, and he instantly grasped the various practical uses of this Ninjutsu in real combat.
Mutsuki nodded to himself, feeling that this reward was quite good.
This was a highly practical Earth Release Ninjutsu that allowed the hardening of any part of the body, making it a versatile technique combining offense and defense with strong practicality.
Whether for defense when facing attacks or directly or for increasing the damage of his own Taijutsu during an offensive, it was extremely useful.
"Forget not the initial intent?" Obito pondered for a while as he read the calligraphy, ultimately not coming up with any special meaning and choosing to let it go.
"Heaven rewards hard work," Might Guy scratched his head, vaguely sensing the meaning and smiling.
Even if this training summary hadn't been considered, he would still be full of motivation.
"The one who attains the truth gets assistance, the one who loses the truth gets little help..." Shisui was also somewhat puzzled by the meaning Mutsuki's calligraphy intended to convey.
What does it mean to attain the truth, and what is losing the truth?
