Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 744 Finals End, Mu Yue's Truth
Liudao City training ground.

Although they had been eliminated, Obito and the others did not give up training. Instead, they took this opportunity to ask Mu Yue for advice every day.

If they have any questions in Konoha, they can go to Mu Yue's house to ask Mu Yue for advice.

But Mu Yue is the Hokage after all, and is busy with affairs.

The disciples couldn't bear to let Mu Yue work too hard, so they always restrained themselves and only asked Mu Yue for advice when they really had nothing to think about.

Mu Yue didn't have nothing to do in Liudao Castle, but she had much more free time than when she was in Konoha.

"so good."

Looking at Shisui, Might Guy and others who were training not far away, Obito, who was sitting against a tree to rest, sighed.

This made him recall the wonderful time of training in the southern forest.

Before Mu Yue became famous in the ninja world, before they became famous geniuses in Konoha, they could see Mu Yue in the southern forest every day and receive Mu Yue's teachings.

Later, due to various reasons, there were fewer opportunities.

Mu Yue has various affairs to deal with, and they also have more things to do as they grow up.

“No wonder some people want to go back to their school days.”

Obito suddenly realized something.

Whether in novels or in reality, he can hear words like wanting to go back to the past or wanting to return to school.

In the past, Obito couldn't quite understand the thoughts of those scholars who wanted to go back.

Especially when he was in school, he was eager to graduate early without having to learn theory, and become a ninja to become famous. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to go through school again.

Now Obito understood a little bit more. It was indeed great to become famous, but the daily warmth in his memory was irreplaceable.

"They want to live a better life with memories. If they don't have favorable memories, do you think they will want to go back?"

Kakashi exhaled and sat down on the opposite side of Obito and said.

Obito was speechless. He had finally felt some emotion about life, but after hearing what Kakashi said, the atmosphere instantly became utilitarian.

"Not necessarily. Youth is priceless. Even if it can't make life better, there will probably be people who want to enjoy their youth again."

Nohara Lin sat down between the two of them and said with a smile.

"Why go back to youth? Youth never ends!"

Speaking of youth, Might Guy, who was sweating profusely, also stopped to rest, sat down on the opposite side of Nohara Lin and shouted.

Seeing that everyone was resting, Shisui went over to rest as well. However, there were people sitting on all four sides of the tree, so Shisui had to tiptoe up the tree and sit on a branch to rest.

Yamato was sitting on another branch.

"The youth that Xiaolin is talking about is not the same as the youth that you, Akai, are talking about."

Obito complained.

The youth that Nohara Lin refers to is a period of time in life, while the youth that Might Guy refers to is a more abstract spirit.

After a noisy discussion for a while, Obito suddenly noticed that Mu Yue, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, hadn't spoken a word, as if she was thinking about something.

"Teacher Mu Yue, do you have anything to do?"

Mu Yue shook her head.

Obito breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought we were the ones delaying you."

"No, I'm just thinking about how to compensate you."

Mu Yue smiled and replied.

"Compensation? Us?"

Obito looked at Mu Yue with a question mark on his face.

It is not Mu Yue's turn to compensate them anyway. It should be more like they repay Mu Yue for his teaching.

The other disciples also looked at Mu Yue in confusion, not quite understanding what Mu Yue meant.

“Why do you need compensation?”

Confused, Obito chose to speak frankly and expressed his doubts to Mu Yue.

"You'll know in a few days."

Mu Yue did not answer Obito's question.

It's already this time, there's not much difference between knowing it a few days earlier or a few days later. Knowing it earlier still leaves the possibility of something going wrong with the plan.

Hearing that the truth would be revealed in just a few days, Obito and the others' curiosity was suppressed.

When the target is Mu Yue, they can be patient enough to wait for several years, let alone a few days.

……

Five days flew by.

At the foot of the mountain outside Liudao Castle, the martial arts tournament finals are about to begin.

Careful people will find that there are many more ninjas watching the game today than the top four.

Even though the requirement to be a jonin to watch the game was high, there were miraculously many ninjas from the five major ninja villages in the finals.

"The Third Raikage versus Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

The referee stood in the center of the fighting area and called out the names of the finalists.

The Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other and walked slowly into the battle area.

Everyone in Liudao City who was watching the live broadcast on TV was quite excited. The event attended by five shadows was finally going to decide the strongest one.

Since Sosuke and Mu Yue did not participate, they cannot be said to be the strongest in the ninja world, but the final winner is definitely among the top three in the ninja world.

The jonin at the scene were also a little nervous.

But they are not nervous about the game, but about what they will do after the game.

Most of the jonin from the five major ninja villages who came to watch the finals knew what would happen next.

After the two shadows arrived at the designated location, the referee quickly evacuated outside the venue to avoid being injured by the aftermath of the battle.

"The battle begins!"

Seeing that the Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen were ready, the referee shouted quickly.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Zizi!

Crackling! !
The Third Raikage instantly activated the Lightning Chakra mode, his whole body shining with blue lightning and attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Due to their respective plans, this match was destined not to be a real battle, but only an exhibition match.

But they are, after all, the Third Raikage and the Third Hokage who are feared by the ninja world. Even if it's an exhibition match, they can't act too obvious and have to act more realistically.

Especially Sarutobi Hiruzen. In order to prevent Sosuke from seeing the clues, his battle plan was to fight seriously in the early stage, and pretend to make a few mistakes in the middle and late stages to lose the battle.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen used the body-flickering technique to dodge and then quickly formed a seal to create two shadow clones.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

"Wind Release·Cyclone!"

Under the cover of the main body, the two shadow clones formed seals, condensed chakra and used large-scale ninjutsu, quickly turning the venue into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, the Third Raikage once again activated his chakra, took out his full-strength lightning armor, and directly broke through the sea of ​​fire and attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to control the flames calmly, and his shadow clones also followed suit using various secret techniques.

Although the Third Raikage was not injured, Sarutobi Hiruzen's endless variety of ninjutsu did cause him to suffer some losses.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have a slight advantage.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his fighting style and summoned Monkey King to engage in physical battle with the Third Raikage.

Relying on the Vajra Ruyi Stick that could grow or shrink, as well as his own powerful strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not suffer any loss in this physical duel.

The powerful force generated by each collision between the two sides caused the ground to crack, and after only a few minutes of fighting, the battle area became a mess. However, as time passed, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed some signs of decline, while the Third Raikage's performance remained stable.

"Didn't Uncle Hokage get enough rest these days? I feel like my performance wasn't as good as it was during the semi-finals."

Obito expressed his thoughts on the match.

"You think so? That means the old man's disguise skills have not declined even though he became Hokage."

Asuma said.

Obito looked at Asuma with some confusion. He felt that Asuma was a little strange. How could rest be related to disguise skills?

"By the way, Asuma, aren't you supposed to remember Uncle Hokage's mistakes? You didn't seem to be watching the game seriously."

Obito asked as he remembered something.

During the semi-finals, Asuma watched the game very seriously and asked them to help watch it carefully as well. However, he became different when it came to the finals.

"What's so interesting about a battle like this when the outcome is already predetermined? There are plenty of excuses to find mistakes."

Asuma looked at Obito suspiciously and noticed that something was wrong with him.

Obito acted like he didn't know the battle plan for today's finals.

The night before the final, Asuma was notified that Konoha would unite the four major ninja villages to attack the Ninja Clan.

The time is the challenge after the finals.

During the battle, in order to allow the Third Raikage to qualify for the challenge, Sarutobi Hiruzen would deliberately lose to the Third Raikage in the final, allowing the Third Raikage to participate in the challenge to consume Sosuke's chakra.

When the challenge is over, it will be time to start the war against the Ninja Clan.

This news was very sudden for Asma, and he was a little unhappy about it.

However, as a ninja and the son of Hokage, Asuma chose to accept it calmly and came to the finals.

"Why do you say this is a battle with a predetermined outcome? Asuma, do you know something?"

Obito couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.

"Obito, you really don't know."

Asuma showed a surprised expression, as if he saw a husky mixed in with the wolf pack.

Kakashi and Shisui listened to the conversation between the two and looked thoughtful.

Before the martial arts tournament began, Shisui, because of his status as a high-level member of the training team, obtained a lot of information that ordinary ninjas did not have.

However, at that time the five major ninja villages kept the plan strictly confidential, and basically only the top leaders of the ninja villages knew the full picture of the plan. Shisui only got part of the information and did not know the specific plans of Konoha and the other four major ninja villages.

Later, when he arrived at Liudao Castle, Shisui was more of an ordinary contestant and had no information about the training team.

"Could it be that because of your identities, the intelligence department assumed that Teacher Mu Yue would notify you in advance?"

Asuma guessed, and then whispered to Obito and others about Konoha's plan to unite the four major ninja villages.

"What? They're actually going to go to war with the Ninja Clan, and they're even joining forces with the four major ninja villages!"

Obito's eyes widened in shock.

However, he also knew how important the matter was, so he spoke at a volume that only those around him could hear.

"Why is this happening? I remember that the village has a lot of cooperation with the Ninja Clan, right?"

Obito frowned, not understanding why Konoha was taking the initiative to start a war this time.

He was still talking about peace with Yahiko a few days ago, but Konoha attacked the Ninja Clan in the blink of an eye, and Obito was really overwhelmed.

Obito felt extremely ashamed when he thought about the expression Yahiko would give him later.

In Yahiko's eyes at that time, he was probably a hypocritical war cheater full of lies.

"How would I know this? I just received the news last night."

Asuma replied, shaking his head.

"Is this the reason for the compensation Teacher Mu Yue mentioned?"

Kakashi thought to himself.

Asma knew about this, so with their status and strength, it was impossible for them not to be qualified to be informed. So it could only be Mu Yue's arrangement.

Kakashi thought about it carefully and felt that things were not that simple.

Since Asuma has directly revealed the information, it means that at this moment, the confidentiality level of this information is no longer high, and it is information that most of the Konoha jonin have the authority to know.

Then there was no need for Mu Yue to deliberately hide it, because it was too easy for them to know.

"What could it be?"

Kakashi looked at Mu Yue who was sitting among the shadows on the hillside, and finally suppressed his curiosity.

Mu Yue had said before that she would tell them the truth about the compensation today, so there was no need for them to guess blindly.

"Didn't Teacher Mu Yue tell you anything?"

Asma asked. In his impression, Mu Yue had always been steady and reliable. Not only would he not miss anything, he would also repeatedly remind and emphasize important things.

"Yes! Teacher Mu Yue told us this morning that the finals will be full of mixed crowds so we should be careful. If something unexpected happens, we should prioritize protecting ourselves and our companions."

Obito remembered Mu Yue's instructions during breakfast.

At that time, he was still wondering, among the five major ninja villages and the Ninja Clan, who would be so blind as to dare to cause trouble in such a scene? It turned out that they were just going to cause trouble.

At this time, Obito also thought of what Mu Yue said to them a few days ago, and his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Because Obito firmly believed that no matter what Mu Yue did, it would not hurt them and he had a deep meaning behind it.

If not for this, Mu Yue wouldn't have to specifically remind them to be careful.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Mu Yue, they would have died in some mission or on some battlefield long ago, and would not have the glory they have today.

While Obito and the others were communicating, the battle situation became increasingly unfavorable for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even an ordinary jonin could see that Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a disadvantage. If he had no back-up plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be defeated by the Third Raikage.

"How could that be? Could it be that Sandaime-sama wants to?!"

A Konoha ninja said with an expression of disbelief.

He knew the inside story, but in order to hide it from the Ninja Clan, this was something he had to do.

It's impossible for your own shadow to remain calm even after losing. This is too abnormal.

"Come on, Raikage-sama!"

The Hidden Cloud Ninja on the other side also pretended to cheer for the Third Raikage.

The ninjas from the other three ninja villages also pretended to discuss, making the arena lively.

"It makes sense that disguise is a required course for ninjas."

Kakuzu looked at the group of actors below and complained inwardly.

After a few more minutes of fierce fighting, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a mistake and revealed a flaw, which was seized by the sharp-sighted Third Raikage and ended the battle immediately.

"The Third Raikage wins. Congratulations to the Third Raikage for winning first place in this martial arts tournament!"

The referee announced the end of the final.

On the hillside, Ōnoki, Rasa, and the Third Mizukage exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field changed.
