Naruto: Teaching Makes Me Stronger Chapter 491 491: Might Guy’s Life Mission Settlement

Konoha, South Border Forest.

Kakashi and Shisui stood face to face. Kakashi stared straight into Shisui's blood red Three Tomoe Sharingan without blinking.

"What level of intensity was that just now?" Kakashi asked.

He had dispelled the genjutsu almost the instant Shisui cast it.

"Level one intensity," Shisui answered. "Looks like your training thod really is working."

They had divided the training into six levels, based on how much chakra was injected into the bending spoon. Injecting one fifth of the chakra was level one intensity, and two fifths was level two.

Level six intensity was special. It required refining and injecting chakra at the sa ti to reach the ultimate genjutsu pressure.

Under normal combat conditions, level one was already Shisui's practical limit. He could not afford to waste too much chakra strengthening the bending spoon. Otherwise, he would gain an advantage only to discover he no longer had enough chakra left to use ninjutsu, which would be beyond embarrassing.

Before this genjutsu training began, Shisui had used genjutsu to control Kakashi and win their internal battle.

After a month and a half of focused practice, Kakashi could now break free from Shisui's genjutsu instantly. The results were undeniable.

"Thanks, Shisui," Kakashi said, and his tone was genuinely sincere.

Shisui had helped him a lot. Kakashi had not expected the training to progress this smoothly, nor to improve this much in just over a month.

Transparent World was his most important ability right now. Strengthening Transparent World also raised the ceiling of his combat power.

"It's nothing," Shisui replied with a faint smile. "I got to refine my genjutsu too."

They might fight each other with everything they had in internal battles, and they might even hide their own information for a month beforehand to gain an edge.

But they were comrades who had gone through life and death together. They were also Mugetsu's disciples. When they could help, they helped.

Next, Shisui had Zorua try as well, but Zorua's genjutsu did not affect Kakashi at all.

"So the stronger Transparent World gets, the harder it is to fall into genjutsu," Kakashi murmured, nodding as he thought it through. "And the faster you can dispel it."

The more Kakashi practiced the secret techniques Mugetsu taught, the more unfathomable Mugetsu felt.

Kakashi was starting to believe Mugetsu's talent for developing techniques had already surpassed the Second Hokage Tobirama.

Just one derivative ability of the Breathing Techniques produced effects that surpassed many famous secret techniques across the shinobi world.

After their daily genjutsu training ended, Kakashi returned to his sword practice and Lightning Release chakra nature transformation.

For now, Lightning Release swordsmanship was still his core focus. He wanted to master No Thought Strike as soon as possible.

As their strength continued to rise, progress beca harder and harder. Kakashi and the others had already discussed changing the internal battles to once every six months, aning only twice a year.

That still left him more than four months to refine his Lightning Release swordsmanship.

Seeing Kakashi successfully prove a thod that strengthened Transparent World, Mugetsu also prepared to try a similar approach on himself, using a shadow clone to cast genjutsu and train his main body.

Still, Mugetsu did not have much hope. His Transparent World was far stronger than Kakashi's, and his genjutsu level was ordinary compared to his other abilities.

After Might Guy trained for half a day and rested for twenty minutes, he did not imdiately resu normal practice. Instead, he clenched his fists and activated the Eight Gates.

"Eight Gates, Fourth Gate, Gate of Pain, open!"

Might Guy was already extrely proficient. Opening the Fourth Gate in seconds was effortless for him.

"Rock Breathing Chakra Mode!"

After opening the Fourth Gate, he did not stop. He imdiately pushed his breathing to the extre and entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

The constantly burning chakra inside his body boosted his strength again, and his surging aura drew the attention of the other disciples nearby.

"What's he doing?" Obito muttered, watching with wide eyes. "Training his body shouldn't need that kind of grand display, right?"

Maintaining a Breathing Technique during training could improve the results, but the Eight Gates were different. They were not a training tool, only a burden that damaged the body.

Kakashi stopped swinging his sword and looked in Guy's direction. "Has his body finally reached the standard?"

Might Guy had been able to open the Fifth Gate without pressure for a long ti. The problem was that his body could not withstand the Fifth Gate and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode at the sa ti. Normally, he only stacked Rock Breathing Chakra Mode with the Fourth Gate.

"It should be about ready," Might Guy said, fists clenched, carefully sensing the power surging through him.

"Gate of Limit, open!"

Might Guy roared as he opened the Fifth Gate. His chakra surged again, and his aura jumped to an even higher level.

He clenched his fists, poured chakra into them, and threw a simple punch at the large tree in front of him.

Bang!

His fist never even needed to touch the trunk. The force of the punch alone shattered the tree and sent it flying.

Might Guy sensed his condition again and confird what he had predicted. After a long period of relentless training, his body was finally strong enough to support the Fifth Gate and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode together without injury.

Kakashi silently turned away and resud his training, swinging his sword with steady focus.

This was not truly a breakthrough for Might Guy. Both the Fifth Gate and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode were abilities he had mastered for a long ti.

What changed was his body. It had finally caught up, allowing him to stack those powers normally.

"As long as I master No Thought Strike, everything will be fine," Kakashi thought, striking again and again with unwavering determination.

"When are we going to start banning one ability in internal battles?" Obito asked through clenched teeth, staring at Might Guy. The pressure was crushing.

He would rather give up using his Sharingan if it ant Might Guy could not use the Eight Gates or Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

[System: Disciple Might Guy's strength increased and his prestige rose, advancing his path to becoming the strongest in taijutsu. Progress reward obtained: dium Constitution Boost; Taijutsu Extraction Scroll · S (Mastery Level); Taijutsu Mastery Scroll.]

Just as Mugetsu expected, Might Guy did not need Mugetsu to push him. He had been sitting at 29.9 percent progress, and after training for a while longer, he naturally crossed 30 percent.

The rewards were similar to before, and extrely fitting for Might Guy. They were all related to taijutsu or the body. That was the nature of life mission rewards. They were based on what the disciple had been improving.

Mugetsu did not currently have any taijutsu that needed the Taijutsu Mastery Scroll.

The S rank Taijutsu Extraction Scroll, however, imdiately caught his interest. He had received an extraction scroll like this once before, and the taijutsu he obtained then was Golden Skyline.

Since he was still teaching the disciples in the South Border Forest, Mugetsu did not extract the reward imdiately.

After all, it would look strange to suddenly walk away in the middle of teaching, wash his hands for no reason, then stand there spacing out.

"Teacher Mugetsu, I want practical combat training!" Might Guy approached Mugetsu proactively.

His last battle with Teacher Chen made him realize sothing important. Experienced veterans like Teacher Chen were not easy to deal with. If he rushed into another fight the mont he improved, the result might not be any better.

"What kind of training do you want?" Mugetsu asked. "Pressure under powerful attacks, or a close match?"

"I want to feel the pressure!" Might Guy chose the hardest option without hesitation.

He believed that if he could withstand the pressure of fighting Mugetsu, then challenging Teacher Chen again would feel like normal training after taking off heavy weights.

"Good," Mugetsu said after a brief mont of thought.

This ti, he decided to use his main body.

Mugetsu rarely fought his disciples with his true body because his shadow clone was usually more than enough.

But Might Guy wanted pressure, and Mugetsu felt pure taijutsu would be the most effective way to deliver it.

That also ant he could not use a shadow clone, because a shadow clone's defense was too poor for close quarters combat.

To avoid disrupting the other disciples' training, Mugetsu took Might Guy farther away.

Might Guy knew how terrifying Mugetsu was, so he went all out from the first mont, stacking the Fifth Gate and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode.

To apply real pressure, Mugetsu imdiately responded in kind. He also opened the Eight Gates and entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, then activated Transparent World on top of it.

That afternoon, Might Guy, who had dominated the disciples' internal battles for a full year, experienced the true terror of a taijutsu shinobi.

And for the first ti, he understood deeply why Obito and the others refused to trade blows with him up close.

His strength was suppressed. When they threw the sa punch, Mugetsu did not budge, while Might Guy was driven back eight ters.

His speed was suppressed. Every ti Might Guy thought he had finally landed a hit, his fist t air and he realized it was only an afterimage.

His moves were seen through. Mugetsu felt like he could predict the future, reading every strike before it even ford.

In that mont, Might Guy felt as if he had returned to the beginning.

Back when he had just entered the Ninja Academy, heard that Kakashi was a genius, and challenged him without hesitation, only to be instantly defeated by a single move.

The fight was frustrating, yet Might Guy felt no sadness at all. His mind held only two thoughts.

How could he land a hit on Mugetsu?

How could he survive a few more moves?

Might Guy failed to deal any effective damage to Mugetsu for the entire afternoon.

Yet he still felt he gained more than he would from an entire afternoon of ordinary training.

"I'll challenge Teacher Chen again in a week," Might Guy declared, eyes burning. "I have to win this ti!"

…

After leaving the South Border Forest, Mugetsu went to Tsunade's house as usual to make dinner, then returned to his ho in the main district.

He glanced at the extraction scroll in his bag, turned on the faucet to wash his hands, and then activated the extraction.

[System: Taijutsu Extraction Scroll · S used. Reward obtained: Focus Punch (Mastery Level).]

The mont the extraction finished, an enormous amount of training mory surged into Mugetsu's mind, as if he had cultivated Focus Punch for more than ten years.
