As long as I reach that place, I can… I can do fewer problems!
Obito sprinted at full speed, eyes fixed on the finish line, his face flushed red.
He had never wanted to reach a place so badly in his life. If anyone asked him right now where he wanted to go the most, his answer would be instant, the finish line.
Guy's route was longer, so Obito couldn't see him at first.
But the sound of pounding footsteps behind him grew louder, Guy's high-speed sprint was closing the gap.
Obito knew his speed was inferior. If Guy caught up, there would only be one outco: defeat.
Gritting his teeth, Obito recalled the chakra technique Mugetsu had taught him, forcing more chakra into his legs, desperate for one last burst of speed.
Surpass him… surpass everyone… beco the strongest!
Guy's whole body burned with energy as he surged forward. His gaze was locked on the finish line and on Obito just ahead of him.
Both pushed themselves to the limit, the gap closing with every step. By the ti they were near the finish line, it was almost as if they were neck and neck.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Guy vanished from Obito's side and reappeared at the finish line.
When Obito stumbled across monts later, he collapsed to the ground, filled with regret. He pounded the dirt in frustration, he'd already been assigned a hundred problems yesterday, and now dozens more awaited him. At this rate, he'd be back to the dark days of "installnt" problem-solving.
He hated it.
"Obito, half a second faster ans five fewer problems. That leaves you with thirty-five."
"Guy reached the finish line first, and with an extra second faster, he won't have to do any problems this ti," Mugetsu announced.
Guy grinned, pumping his fist in triumph.
Mugetsu used Appraisal, noting that Guy's Shave proficiency had jumped by three points.
Push soone to their limits, and they might fail at math… but they'll master ninjutsu faster.
It was clear the race had worked. Both had broken their personal speed records.
"Drink so water and rest." Mugetsu pulled Obito up, brushed the dust from him, handed Guy a bottle, and opened another for Obito.
"If you keep this up, Obito, you'll be able to clear the river sprint this week," Mugetsu said, always mixing the grind with a spark of motivation.
Obito gulped down half the bottle in one go, instantly feeling his energy return.
"Guy, you won today, but don't celebrate too early. Tomorrow, I'll be the first to the finish line!" Obito vowed, wanting Guy to taste the sa punishnt.
"Haha! You've got spirit, but the one who reaches it first will always be , Might Guy!" Guy replied with a big thumbs-up.
Mugetsu stood with his hands behind his back, pleased. His disciples should be exactly like this.
The only regret was that Shisui couldn't join this kind of friendly rivalry. Not only was his strength on another level, but he was also unfazed by written problems and with Shadow Clones, he could finish them in no ti.

Tuesday ca, and Mugetsu taught as usual.
By now, he'd mastered the rhythm of teaching large classes, able to control the grading just like his smaller ones choosing whether to earn chakra or ninjutsu as rewards.
That morning, he went for chakra. In the afternoon, ninjutsu.
"You actually pulled off a rare good deed this ti. Teacher Mugetsu's far better at these basics than guiding jonin," Raido remarked, watching the Group B students skillfully climb trees and walk on water under Mugetsu's guidance.
"The genin who didn't sign up are going to regret it."
Raido even felt a pang of envy, if he'd had a teacher like this back in the Academy, he'd be much stronger now.
"Brother, when have I ever led you wrong? Just trust ," Asuma said with a confident pat on his shoulder.
"And Teacher Mugetsu isn't just good with basics, anything he knows, he can teach well."
"How would you know?" Radio asked then it clicked.
"Oh right… he's your private tutor."
If Raido was a regular player, Asuma was definitely pay-to-win.
Asuma smirked. Truthfully, if Mugetsu hadn't been his tutor, he'd have sent any other one packing a long ti ago.
"Even if Teacher Mugetsu teaches well, the pressure's intense. Being crushed by current students… it's embarrassing," Kurenai admitted, a hint of sha on her face.
"It's fine, Kurenai. Let's work hard together and grab two of the top three spots," Asuma encouraged.
"What, you think I can't compete with you?" Raido shot back, eyebrow raised.
Asuma inwardly wished Shisui would show up to kick this unwanted third wheel away. But instead, Mugetsu appeared offering the three of them pointers.
Busy hours passed quickly, and soon it was ti for dismissal.
[Completed one large-class teaching]
[Evaluation: A]
[Reward: Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet, Earth Release: Earth Flow River]
Both were excellent jutsu—Mugetsu was very pleased.

Back in the main district, Mugetsu ran into Minato and Kushina heading out.
"Mugetsu, we're going to a eting—save us so food!" Kushina waved.
Minato gave Mugetsu a helpless look—he'd been about to say he didn't need to cook for them today.
"I'll just make a bigger portion and set so aside for you. Co by later to eat," Mugetsu replied with a smile.
A little extra cooking for a lot of goodwill—an easy trade.
To his surprise, they returned earlier than expected, right as he was preparing to leave for disciple training. When they knocked on his door, he decided to delay—his permanent Shadow Clone was already there handling basics.
If there was a eting during alti, it had to be serious.
"Those barbarians from the Land of Lightning are truly despicable! They took advantage of Sunagakure's leaderless state and gathered a massive army to launch a sneak attack," Kushina fud.
Mugetsu imdiately understood.
The gears of the Third Shinobi World War had begun to turn.
