"Teacher Mu Yue, how long did you hold out this time?" Obito wiped the water stains off his face and looked at Mu Yue with anticipation.
It felt like he had been on the river for a long time, maybe an hour.
"You performed very well this time. You persisted for twenty minutes." Mu Yue praised generously.
"Ah? Only twenty minutes. I thought it would be at least half an hour." Obito was a little disappointed.
On the river, he not only had to maintain the output of chakra at all times, but also had to pay attention to Mu Yue's water escape, observe the waves on the river, and be ready to dodge at any time, ensuring that he was in this state at all times, making it feel like a long time had passed.
"You have completed the chakra control training and can start the nature change training." Mu Yue said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go down right away." Obito has been practicing treading water recently, and subconsciously walked towards the river. After taking a few steps, he realized what Mu Yue had said.
"Finally, I don't have to tread water." Obito couldn't help but jump up and cheer with his fists clenched. He calmed down only after noticing that Shisui and Might Guy were looking at him.
"I've been stepping on water every day lately, and I've become accustomed to the smell of the river water here." Obito couldn't help but complain.
Treading water is not like climbing a tree. For climbing a tree, as long as you adjust yourself or Mu Yue catches up quickly, everything will be fine.
If you don't control your treading water well, you will have to drink a lot of water.
Fortunately, not many people come here, and the river water is clean and clear, without any strange smell.
"Then do you want to practice more?" Mu Yue asked jokingly.
"Forget it, forget it. I've been trying to take a detour whenever I see a river lately." The tortured Obito chose not to be stubborn this time.
"It's better to start the nature change early. There are only fourteen days left until the competition." Obito felt that time was a little tight.
Next, in addition to the change in properties, you also need to deepen your proficiency in the Fireball.
"There will be enough time if you follow my arrangement." Mu Yue assured Obito.
This is just training to participate in a folk competition, not to fight Pain after training. There is no need to practice too exaggerated nature changes.
With the support of the professor's skills and the fact that Mu Yue's Fireball has reached the proficient level, it is very easy for Obito to improve his Fireball level.
After all, since it concerns the rewards for the training mission, Mu Yue made careful plans.
Soon, Mu Yue's shadow clone brought a large wooden barrel. Mu Yue opened the barrel, took out an egg-sized piece of ice and handed it to Obito.
"Put the ice cube on your palm, and then use chakra to change the properties to melt the ice cube." Mu Yue said the first step of the practice process of property change.
Nature change is considered a more difficult and advanced practice in the ninja training process.
Even if you have enough chakra, if your level of ability to change the nature of the corresponding ninjutsu is not high enough, the power of the ninjutsu will be limited.
The practice of changing the nature of fire is a little more dangerous than that of wind, because the burning nature of fire may affect the practitioner.
At first, Mu Yue wanted Obito to burn the leaves, but if Obito could not turn the leaves into ashes instantly, then Obito's hands would be burned by the burning leaves.
So Mu Yue thought of ice cubes, because their temperature is low enough, so when they encounter fire, they will only melt into water. Obito's fire is not enough to heat the water in the ice cubes.
"It's so cold." Obito, holding the ice in his hand, took a breath of cold air. It was still spring and the temperature was not high in the morning when the sun was not strong.
"Then release your chakra quickly." Mu Yue tapped Obito's head with two fingers together.
Obito felt pain, shrank his neck, and began to guide his chakra towards his palm, changing its nature and releasing it.
"When changing the properties, you must remember the characteristics of flames, combustion and high temperature. Let your chakra burn and increase the temperature." Mu Yue reminded.
Obito stared at the ice in his hand, nodded, and silently chanted the words burning and high temperature. Two minutes later, Obito felt a stream of water appear on his palm, and his face instantly showed joy.
"Teacher, the ice is melting!" Obito said happily.
"Why don't you take another ice cube and try holding it in your hand for a few minutes?" Mu Yue said.
Obito curiously threw away the ice in his hand, picked up a new ice cube of similar size, and held it in his hand without using chakra.
Then he was embarrassed to find that the degree of melting into water was only slightly worse than before.
"The human body also has temperature. If you hold an ice cube of this size in your hand, it will melt quickly even without using chakra." Mu Yue explained, stroking his forehead.
Fortunately, the weather is not hot now. If it were summer, Obito would have to think of himself as a genius in property change.
"Hehe, when I use ninjutsu, I always use my mouth. Now I'm a little uncomfortable using my hands." Obito scratched his head and explained.
"When changing the properties, you must always remember the properties of fire." Mu Yue said as he took out a piece of ice the size of a human head and held it in his hand.
Sizzle! !
The moment Mu Yue finished speaking, a red light flashed, and the ice block as big as a human head immediately turned into bursts of white smoke and directly turned into water vapor and floated into the sky.
"High temperature, burning." Obito kept repeating these two words, and then continued to condense chakra in his palms and release it.
Soon the morning was over, and Obito could already feel his hands numb from the cold, and the skin on his hands had turned white and wrinkled from prolonged contact with water.
"Come to think of it, the river water tastes pretty good too." Obito regretted a little why he didn't agree to practice some more with Mu Yue a few hours ago.
This kind of nature-changing practice is even more torturous than treading water.
"Stop practicing for now and eat." Mu Yue stopped the three people, then took out three lunch boxes and distributed them to them.
"Today's food smells so good!" As soon as Might Guy opened the lid, he smelled a fragrance that went straight to his soul, as well as the dazzling golden light in the lunch box.
"Teacher Mu Yue, there's something wrong with this rice. It's glowing!" Might Guy was a little dumbfounded.
"It's just the reflection of the sun, just eat it without worry." Mu Yue smiled faintly.
Might Guy took a spoon and took a bite. His eyes instantly lit up and he waved the spoon very quickly to put fried rice into his mouth.
"Delicious! Delicious!" Might Guy felt that he had never eaten such delicious food.
[You gave your disciple golden fried rice. The disciple is very grateful and rewards you with a critical hit, gaining chakra +100]
Mu Yue nodded secretly, the chef's skill was indeed powerful.
"Is Might Guy so tired from training today?" Obito felt that Might Guy was a little exaggerated. Although Teacher Mu Yue was a good cook, he didn't need to eat so quickly.
"It does smell good." Obito changed his mind slightly after opening the lunch box.
His dish was not egg fried rice, but a home-cooked stir-fry.
Obito first picked up some vegetables, then picked up a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth.
"Delicious!" Obito's eyes widened, and he felt an unprecedented taste bursting in his mouth.
Then he started eating rice like crazy, stuffing it into his mouth again and again until Obito tasted the chili peppers in the dish.
A horrible spicy smell burst out, and Obito felt as if he had come to the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt. The air around him was hot and dry.
