Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 632 A Necklace Worth Three Mines

"The situation is very unfavorable to us now. We must eliminate the Kirigakure troops as quickly as possible."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking to Mu Yue about the war situation.

"Well, I will defeat Kirigakure as soon as conditions permit." Mu Yue nodded.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

If there was no suitable candidate, he really didn't want to let Mu Yue go to the battlefield now. This is a combination of super genius and wood escape.

"Regarding the troop personnel, Mu Yue, do you have any requests?"

As long as the person Mu Yue wants is not on a confidential mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen can give him to make it easier for Mu Yue to realize his ideas.

"Kakashi and the others. It just so happens that they haven't been on a mission for a while." Mu Yue replied.

Although this looked like an ordinary defeat, Mu Yue felt that Uchiha Madara should intervene.

After all, Konoha's current situation was the result of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu secretly fanning the flames.

Mu Yue could see that Uchiha Madara's purpose was nothing more than to make the situation more chaotic and have more opportunities to attack.

However, Uchiha Madara was facing Mu Yue who knew the plot.

He knew that Uchiha Madara wanted to find a successor, so Mu Yue would not give him any chance. Even if the situation was chaotic, with him leading his disciples to complete the mission, Uchiha Madara's conspiracy would be difficult to succeed.

"Okay, but Kakashi and the others are your disciples. Mu Yue, you can notify them yourself. The ninja troops have already started to assemble." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Because of Mu Yue, Sarutobi Hiruzen basically never took the initiative to arrange tasks for Kakashi and the others. It all depended on their own wishes.

After saying goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mu Yue created a shadow clone to go to the training team to inform Shisui, and then the main body went to the southern forest.

In the original work, Uchiha Madara attacked Obito, but Mu Yue could not rule out the possibility that Uchiha Madara took Shisui as a backup, so Shisui must also be taken away to prevent accidents.

When Mu Yue arrived at the Southern Forest, the disciples were still practicing.

"If anyone needs anything, please go home and pack up. We are about to carry out the mission." Mu Yue called out to stop.

Obito became interested, but before he could ask, Mu Yue continued:
"Although this mission will not leave the Land of Fire, but will still be within the country, we will also be on the battlefield, fighting against the Ninja troops of Kirigakure."

"It's a large-scale war mission." Obito's expression became more serious.

He is not a newbie who has never been to the battlefield and is aware of the dangers of war.

"He is actually in the country, and he is a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village." Kakashi showed a thoughtful expression.

Since he has been focusing on training recently, he hasn't paid much attention to the situation in the ninja world.

Even so, Kakashi could still sense some problems from the overall atmosphere of Konoha.

"Teacher Mu Yue, will Shisui participate in this mission?" Kakashi asked after thinking for a while.

The situation in Konoha is not good now, so the possibility of Mu Yue getting into trouble on the battlefield is greater.

Right now they are still far from being as strong as Mu Yue, but they are no longer comparable to ordinary jonin, so Kakashi hopes that Mu Yue can also bring Shisui with him for extra strength.

They agreed to change the future together.

"Well, I asked my shadow clone to inform him." Mu Yue replied.

"Teacher Mu Yue, after we are ready, should we go back to the South Forest, or gather somewhere else?" Nohara Lin asked.

"Let's go to training ground number 11. The ninja troops will gather there."

"Teacher Mu Yue and everyone, goodbye. I'll go back to get some things." Nohara Lin was the first to say goodbye with a smile and waved.

Then Kakashi and Obito also said goodbye and left. They had to replenish some ninja tools.

Might Guy did not need to replenish his ninja tools, but going to the battlefield was not a trivial matter, and he had to notify his family, so he went home.

Yamato was in class at this time, so Mu Yue did not disturb him, but he arranged for someone to notify him.

Then Mu Yue went to Tsunade's house.

Tsunade was originally very happy, thinking she could get another free meal, but when she heard Mu Yue say that she was going to the battlefield, her face suddenly fell.

"Why are there so many bastards in the ninja world? Can't we just live in peace for a few more years?" Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.

It doesn't matter if she misses a meal, but Tsunade is worried that she won't be able to get one in the future.

"Is that what you came here to say, or do you want me to go to the battlefield with you?"

"That's not the case. After all, I still have to command the troops. Even if Tsunade and I go to the battlefield together, I can't cook three meals a day for you." Mu Yue refused politely.

Tsunade is quite powerful, has a very high level of medical skills, and possesses strong healing abilities, but Tsunade’s problems have not been resolved yet, so she cannot fully exert her strength and cannot provide much help to Mu Yue.

It would be safer to let Tsunade stay in Konoha.

"Three meals a day? My appearance fee should be enough for at least four meals a day."

Tsunade said with her arms folded across her chest and an unhappy look on her face. It was unclear whether she felt that Mu Yue looked down upon her or she really felt that the reward was too little.

"Yes, after all, Lord Tsunade, you are the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world." Mu Yue read.

"This is a well-known fact." Tsunade said that greatness needs no further explanation.

Then Tsunade thought of something and hesitated. Finally, she took off the necklace around her neck and said:

"Are you still learning Wood Release? If so, I'll lend you this necklace for a while. This necklace was left by my grandfather and contains his chakra."

After saying that, Tsunade emphasized: "I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you. This necklace is very valuable. If you sell it, you can exchange it for three mines. You must return it to me after you develop Wood Release."

Mu Yue looked at the necklace in Tsunade's hand. This necklace was quite famous and was nicknamed the Death Necklace.

In the original work, Tsunade gave it to three people in total, namely Nawase, Kato Dan, and Naruto.

Except for Naruto, all the three died on the battlefield. Although Naruto did not die, his necklace was broken.

Although it sounds like a cursed item, Tsunade was not lying. This necklace is really valuable. It can even be classified as a high-level ninja tool. Its effect is to suppress the chakra of the tailed beast.

"I've been a bit busy lately and forgot to tell you, but actually I've already mastered Wood Release." Mu Yue smiled faintly, and with one hand she formed a seal to condense Wood Release chakra, causing a big tree to grow in Tsunade's yard.

"Huh?!" Tsunade's eyes widened and she looked at Mu Yue and the rapidly growing tree in surprise.

Tsunade was stunned. Is there really someone who can develop Wood Release? Isn't this her grandfather's unique bloodline limit?

At this moment, Tsunade even suspected that she was under an illusion.

She silently formed hand seals to dispel the illusion, but found that her chakra was very stable and there was no sign of being under an illusion at all.

"How did you do it?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask.

"Look at the information." Mu Yue answered as a matter of course.

Tsunade:……

She had also read those materials, but why didn't she learn Wood Release? A strong sense of frustration surged in her heart.

Who would understand? She, the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, didn't learn Wood Release, but someone who had nothing to do with Hashirama Senju learned it.

"Why are you so troublesome? You just developed Wood Release. You still have a lot to learn. Just tell me if you want it or not." Tsunade stretched out her hand to Mu Yue. Seeing that Tsunade's defense was broken, Mu Yue did not bring up the topic of Wood Release again. She took the necklace and said thank you seriously.

He didn't need the necklace to study Wood Release, but studying this necklace was indeed useful. If he could master similar techniques, he could make a trinket to give to Kushina.

"Although it's a loan, I'm not lending it to you for free. There is interest," Tsunade continued.

"If you lend it to me for one day, you will owe me a meal. If you lend it to me for two days, you will owe me two meals. And so on until you return the necklace to me."

"I hate people who don't pay their debts. If you don't pay me back, I will beat your disciples half to death, especially that rude kid with goggles."

After saying that, Tsunade raised her white fist.

"Then I will try to return to Konoha as soon as possible to repay my debt." Mu Yue waved goodbye.

Tsunade is not a talkative person. Even though she was speaking threatening words, Mu Yue could feel her concern.

"That's better." Tsunade responded with a casual wave of her hand.

"Teacher Mu Yue, I hope you can complete the task safely and smoothly." Jingyin at the side said a farewell blessing.

Mu Yue smiled at Jingyin and turned to walk towards the training ground.

"Lady Tsunade is so blunt. She's clearly worried about Teacher Mu Yue, but she doesn't say a single nice word." After entering the house, Shizune complained.

As a bystander, she saw it clearly.

"Of course I'm worried about him. If he doesn't come back, my necklace worth three mines will be gone." Tsunade grabbed Shizune's fair and tender face with both hands.

"Um... not that." Shizune tried to speak.

Although she is still young, she doesn't believe everything.

"I think you, Shizune, are too idle." Tsunade pulled Shizune's little face and gave her a medical problem that could not be solved in a whole day.

……

When Mu Yue arrived at the training ground, the ninja troops were about to complete their assembly.

"Mu Yue is in command."

"Lord Mu Yue."

The ninjas on the training ground greeted Mu Yue one after another.

Because there were too many people, even if Mu Yue knew them all and knew their names, she couldn't respond to them one by one. She could only nod to everyone.

"Senior Chen, this is the Jonin Mimura." Only when Mu Yue walked up to the Jonins who held important positions could he respond to them one by one.

"Commander Mu Yue, the current situation of the troops..." Meicun Ye Juan and Mu Yue reported the troops' situation.

This time, Meicun Yejuan and Teacher Chen both served as deputy conductors.

"There are so many ninjas, much more than last time." Obito walked into the training ground and observed the ninja troops.

The last time, the ninja army led by Mu Yue had only 500 people, but this time there would be a lot more. Obito roughly calculated that there might be more than a thousand people.

"But last time we were supporting Uncle Toad, the situation was a little different."

Kakashi, who was about to explain, glanced sideways.

"Hey, Kakashi, what are you looking at? I'm not someone who only cares about fighting and knows nothing else, okay?" Obito said dissatisfiedly as he looked at Kakashi's slightly surprised look.

"Oh, then Obito you are awesome." Kakashi praised in an emotionless voice.

"You're probably the only one who can make words of praise so irritating." Obito felt Kakashi's ridicule deeply.

If I had known he would take a detour, I wouldn't have met Kakashi on the road.

"You two have such a good relationship. Did you come here together on purpose?" Nohara Rin entered the training ground and greeted with a smile when she saw the familiar scene.

"No way!" ×2
"We just happened to meet on the road." Obito explained quickly.

He didn't even make an appointment with Nohara Rin to come together, so how could he possibly go find Kakashi?

"I have no intention of being late. Waiting for Obito is a very troublesome thing." Kakashi said lightly.

Obito couldn't help but glare at Kakashi. He hadn't been late for a long time, because when he met an old man, he could use his shadow clone to help.

"Shisui, how is your work lately?" Obito suddenly found Shisui coming over and immediately greeted him.

Rather than arguing with Kakashi, it would be better to care about your good friend and cousin.

Since Shisui had been quite busy lately, they didn't talk much even when they met.

"It's okay. It went pretty smoothly." Shisui answered while greeting the others.

After exchanging a few words, they walked towards Mu Yue together.

Seeing Mu Yue chatting with other senior ninjas about the ninja troops, he did not disturb them and chose to stand aside.

"Cough cough."

After all the ninja troops arrived, Mu Yue coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to speak.

"Our opponents are the Mist Hidden Army roaming the east coast..."

Without much speech, Mu Yue simply explained the mission and led the troops towards the eastern part of the Fire Country.

"Now Kirigakure has dispersed its troops again. There are many signs of Kirigakure teams active from the northeast to the southeast." During the break, the top leaders of the ninja force were holding a combat meeting.

"Split up into teams and act separately?" a Konoha jonin suggested.

"It's not very safe. That's how the elder of Mitomon fell into Kirigakure's trap." Meimura Yejuan shook his head.

Don't fall into the same pit again.

"But if we concentrate our efforts to clear a certain area, the efficiency will be very low." The Konoha ninja who spoke first raised the question.

The ninjas are too mobile, and the ninja troops are big targets, so before they have cleared half of the area, the remaining half will have run away.

For a moment, the jonin were unable to reach a consensus.

On the other side, Kakashi and several other disciples were also sitting together chatting.

Their strength is not weak, but their qualifications are too shallow. Even Kakashi, who has the most qualifications, has not been assigned an important position.

"We must be careful when fighting the enemy. I've inquired about it. Konoha just suffered a defeat, and it was the Kirigakure troops we are going to fight who did it." Obito said the information he got from chatting with other ninjas.

"On the battlefield, ninjas from all villages must be careful. The recent situation in Konoha is not optimistic. Teacher Mu Yue may be in life and death crisis." Kakashi said in a low voice.

Mu Yue's death is a mystery, but Kakashi has analyzed it countless times. Whether in terms of time or rationality, it should be related to the Ninja World War, but he doesn't know which war it was.

All the disciples' expressions became serious.

PS:

I have to go to work tomorrow and can't stay up late today, so this is the only update I'll write.
