Chapter 275: List of Famous Strongest in Konoha
First to arrive was Minato. Whenever he had time, he would basically come to help Mugetsu with some work, not just freeloading meals.
When Minato came in and saw Kakashi and Obito sitting in the living room, he paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and greeted them.
"Minato sensei." Obito and Kakashi were not surprised to see Minato.
Although this was neither their home nor Minato's, they always seemed to run into each other here, so it no longer felt strange.
After a simple greeting to his students, Minato went to the kitchen to help.
A few minutes after Minato entered the house, Might Guy also arrived. Seeing Kakashi and the others, he showed a surprised expression and greeted them with a bright smile.
"My rival, even though we are not on the same team anymore, our bond has grown even stronger! How about a pleasant taijutsu battle?"
"No, it is almost time to eat," Kakashi refused without hesitation.
"That is truly a pity," Might Guy said, a bit regretful. He felt his taijutsu had grown stronger recently and wanted to test it against Kakashi.
"Guy, who are your teammates after the team assignments?" Obito asked curiously.
"Genma and Ebisu." Might Guy glanced at Mugetsu, who was busy in the kitchen, then sat down and replied.
Since he was already here, Might Guy planned to ask Mugetsu after dinner if he was willing to meet Teacher Chen.
"Oh, them. That is not bad. Their strength in Fourth Grade is considered strong, and they are good people too," Obito said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, they are very reliable as companions." Might Guy gave a thumbs up, air fived, and laughed loudly.
If Ebisu had not used Enemy Confusion Technique at the crucial moment to confuse Teacher Chen, and Genma had not spat out senbon in time, he probably would not have snatched that bell.
After chatting with Might Guy for a while, Obito suddenly remembered the Uchiha clan exchange meeting his grandmother had mentioned, so he asked Shisui,
"Shisui, did you get an invitation to that Young Ninja Exchange Meeting?"
Shisui nodded.
"Young Ninja Exchange Meeting? What kind of event is that? Why have I never heard of it? And is Shisui not still in the Ninja School?" Kakashi asked, puzzled.
Kakashi felt that the words "young" and "Ninja" did not really match Shisui in his mind.
"This is an event within our Uchiha clan. In theory, you only get invited after becoming a Ninja, but the clan head felt we should interact more inside the clan, so he sent me an invitation too," Shisui explained simply.
Hearing that it was an event run by the Uchiha clan, Kakashi instantly lost interest. Things like this were not even meant for outsiders to watch.
"I heard there are rewards for this exchange meeting. Shisui, do you know what the rewards are?" Obito asked curiously. If the rewards were average, he did not want to go and waste training time.
Shisui recalled what Fugaku had told him and replied, "If you perform well, there seems to be a chance to get advanced Fire Release, and there are also Ninja tools, secret medicines, and so on."
Hearing "advanced Fire Release," Obito instantly perked up. Although he had just learned a powerful Fire Release from Mugetsu sensei, you could never have too many Ninjutsu. And if it was something Mugetsu did not know, he could even practice it together with him, which would also be a way to give something back.
"Then, Shisui, are you going? If you are, we can go together. I was invited too." For the sake of advanced Fire Release, Obito decided to see what the exchange meeting was like.
"Yes, then we will go together," Shisui agreed with a nod.
He had already planned to go when Fugaku invited him, but he was not going there for advanced Ninjutsu. He wanted to get to know the younger generation of Uchiha Ninja.
After doing many Konoha history questions and listening to Mugetsu talk about history, he had found a problem. The Uchiha clan's current situation was closely tied to many people in the clan.
Not long after the village was founded, the clan head betrayed Konoha, then came back and caused a huge disturbance, finally creating the Valley of the End, a famous place in the Land of Fire, together with the First Hokage.
That was not the end. After Senju Hashirama died and Senju Tobirama became the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan had problems again. In terms of damage and nature, this time was even worse than Uchiha Madara's rebellion, because the hawkish faction of the clan wanted to launch a coup and seize the Hokage position.
So Shisui wanted to see whether the younger generation of the Uchiha clan had more doves or hawks. If there were more hawks, he worried that the coup from the Second Hokage's era would repeat.
When the dishes were almost all served, Mugetsu called his students to the table for dinner.
Minato, carrying his bento box, said goodbye to Mugetsu, Obito, and the others.
"Minato sensei, why do you not just eat here? You are not taking missions for the next few days, right?" Obito asked in confusion, looking at Minato with his packed meal.
He felt Minato was really strange. He came to Mugetsu's place every day to help cook, but always took the food to go.
Minato showed a thoughtful expression, trying to figure out how to explain it in a natural way.
Splat.
Mugetsu sent out a burst of Chakra, hitting Obito's forehead with a crisp sound, and said,
"The world is not only about missions that keep people busy, and Minato's packed meal can be eaten at any time. If you do not hurry, the good food will be eaten by others."
At Mugetsu's reminder, Obito realized that Kakashi, Might Guy, and Shisui were already silently focused on eating.
Obito quickly activated his Sharingan to sharpen his perception and began to eat with full effort, no longer caring about Minato's eating habits.
Minato smiled, exchanged a glance with Mugetsu, then took Mugetsu's cooking and went to find Kushina.
After dinner, the students helped Mugetsu clean up. Then it was time for post meal chat. Might Guy and Mugetsu brought up Teacher Chen's matter.
"Mugetsu sensei, are you free recently? My instructor, Teacher Chen, wants to discuss training with you."
"Teacher Chen? No problem. Tell him tomorrow. I am free this whole week, he can choose the time," Mugetsu replied after thinking for a moment.
In his previous life, there had been no information about Might Guy's instructor in the anime or manga. So after the team assignments were announced, Mugetsu had used his authority at the Ninja School to check the results as soon as possible.
What he had not expected was that Might Guy's instructor would actually be Teacher Chen, the creator of Leaf Dragon God.
However, Mugetsu quickly realized this was the result of his own butterfly effect. In the anime, Might Guy's interactions with Teacher Chen did not really feel like a teacher student relationship.
He guessed that Might Guy's taijutsu talent had been too outstanding, which led to this change in the assignments. A taijutsu genius like this could not be handed to just any Jonin.
"I can use this chance to show some of my taijutsu strength," Mugetsu thought to himself.
When taijutsu Ninja talk about training, it is very natural to have a spar. If Teacher Chen used Leaf Dragon God, it would also make it easier for Mugetsu to bring out Leaf Dragon God later.
"Okay, I understand," Might Guy said with a nod.
"So, Guy, your instructor is Teacher Chen. He really suits you as an instructor," Kakashi said, recalling what he knew about Teacher Chen.
Teacher Chen was known as Konoha's strongest taijutsu Ninja, skilled in many taijutsu styles.
"Who is Teacher Chen? Is he really strong? I have never heard that name before," Obito asked curiously when he heard Kakashi's words. He had no impression of the name at all.
"How many names of powerful Ninja do you even know? Besides Mugetsu sensei and Minato sensei?" Kakashi said lightly, looking at Obito.
In Kakashi's eyes, aside from being strong in one on one combat, Obito was hopeless in most other areas.
Seeing Kakashi looking down on his knowledge, Obito refused to accept it. He thought for a moment and said, "Third Hokage, Toad Uncle, and…"
Obito stopped after the second name, thinking hard but unable to come up with a third.
Kakashi lightly pressed his forehead, speechless, and said, "You can just say you do not know. The Third Hokage's name is Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Jiraiya is not called Toad."
"Tsunade!" Obito suddenly remembered a name. She was the Ninja Rin admired, and like Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.
"Fine, you know one. And then?" Kakashi asked calmly.
Obito scratched his head, really unable to think of any other strong people worth mentioning. So he said, unconvinced, "Then how many can you name? You are not allowed to use the ones I said."
"Danzo Shimura, the Hokage's assistant in the village, disciple of the Second Hokage, very strong. Orochimaru, disciple of the Third Hokage, and like Jiraiya, one of the Sannin…" Kakashi listed many powerful Konoha Jonin like he was counting treasures.
"As expected of you, my rival, you know so much," Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up. In this respect, he was similar to Obito.
"So how strong is that Teacher Chen exactly?" Realizing he was completely on the defensive, Obito could only turn the topic back to Teacher Chen's strength.
"I heard Ebisu say he is Konoha's strongest taijutsu Ninja, but I feel Mugetsu sensei's taijutsu should not lose to Teacher Chen," Might Guy said honestly.
He was actually rather informed, having personally watched the battle between Six Gates Maito Dai and Mugetsu.
In that battle, neither side had used full power. Maito Dai had not opened Seven Gates, and Mugetsu had only used two gates and Total Concentration Breathing, but it had still been shocking enough for Might Guy at the time.
"Mugetsu sensei, can you beat Teacher Chen using only taijutsu?" The straightforward Obito chose to ask Mugetsu directly.
"Teacher Chen's taijutsu is very strong, but I should not lose," Mugetsu replied with a smile.
"Then that means you will definitely win," Obito translated Mugetsu's words in his own way.
Splat.
Mugetsu tapped Obito on the head.
Obito chuckled twice, still feeling he was right, and the other students also believed Mugetsu had that level of strength.
Especially Might Guy, who trained in both Eight Gates and Rock Breathing, knew how terrifying the power of using those two together was. He himself had only trained for one year and already reached this level. He could not even imagine how strong Mugetsu, who had been training for an unknown number of years, really was.
