[Disciple Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi work diligently to complete the commissioned task, earning growth reward Chakra +680, with an additional reward of Chakra +340 led by the teacher himself.]
[Disciple Uchiha Obito enhances strength, raises reputation, increases credentials, slightly increasing the probability of becoming Hokage, receiving progress rewards - Chakra +1000, Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Jutsu (Master Level).]
In the evening, upon returning home, Mokgetsu began to organize the gains from this mission.
First was the growth reward from the mission, totaling one thousand and twenty when combining the two disciples' rewards, which aligned with Mokgetsu's expectations. After all, the disciples didn't have much presence in this mission; if he hadn't let Kazahana Doto go in the end, there might not have been so much.
Then, it was Obito's life mission undergoing the first settlement.
[Name: Uchiha Obito]
[Life Task: It's not people becoming Hokage that makes them recognized by everyone, but rather, those recognized by everyone can become Hokage.]
[Main Objective: Become Hokage of the Konoha Village]
[Task Progress: 12.3%]
Before the task began, Mokgetsu had checked Obito's life task progress, which was at 9.8%. Originally, Mokgetsu expected reaching 10% to be sufficient, not foreseeing Kazahana Doto plotting usurpation, turning their mission from protecting the princess into quelling a rebellion.
The rewards from the first settlement made Mokgetsu look forward even more to the subsequent settlement rewards; a 10% settlement already granted mastery skills and mystical items like the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, so higher progress settlements should offer even more.
Mokgetsu clicked on the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll, which was undoubtedly the best of the three rewards, something that couldn't typically be achieved under normal circumstances.
A selection box quickly popped up on the panel.
[Enhancement Options Available: Byakugan]
Mokgetsu fell into contemplation, having previously received a Byakugan purity enhancement reward. Logically, perhaps the two rewards were somewhat similar, although one could only enhance Byakugan, while the other allowed any choice.
Mokgetsu chose the sole option, Byakugan, as he was quite satisfied with it and wasn't planning to save the reward for later use.
As the scroll was used, an indescribable sensation arose from Mokgetsu's body.
Due to the existence of the Transparent World, Mokgetsu had an extremely comprehensive understanding of his own body, allowing him to instantly perceive an unknown yet beneficial change occurring within his body.
The most direct feeling was a slight increase in his Chakra limit, seeing an increase of a thousand upon checking the panel.
[Name: Habu Mokgetsu]
[Chakra: 84300]
Suddenly recalling something, Mokgetsu immediately consumed some Chakra to create a Shadow Clone, then re-refined his Chakra.
Upon refining Chakra, Mokgetsu's face broke into a smile, his Chakra recovery speed had increased!
Compared to the increased Chakra, the boosted recovery speed gained more ground. Mokgetsu roughly compared; it improved by a full quarter.
Despite the mismatch between the Chakra recovery speed and the total Chakra amount, it was much better than before.
Then, Mokgetsu activated Byakugan, glanced around, seeing Shizune walking together with Tsunade. Estimating the distance, Mokgetsu noticed that his range of vision had significantly expanded.
Quiet, Mokgetsu directed more Chakra into his Byakugan based on mental sensation, then looked at the glass cup on his table.
With Chakra infusion, an aura arose from Mokgetsu, and under his gaze, the cup swiftly cracked and shattered.
Mokgetsu revealed a pensive expression; ordinary Hyuga Byakugan did not possess such a capability. He felt as though he was evolving towards the Otsutsuki's Byakugan.
Nonetheless, Mokgetsu sensed a considerable distance remained, as that new ability seemed less cost-effective compared to other abilities like telescopic vision when considering the Chakra used on the Byakugan.
Aside from the system rewards, Mokgetsu gained additional tangible rewards, like two sets of Chakra Armor, one belonging to the Snow Ninja leader and another from the Snow Village laboratory.
Unfortunately, the Chakra Armor's strength was somewhat unsatisfactory, as Mokgetsu found it nearly ineffective in enhancing his abilities unless using minimal Chakra for Ninjutsu. Mokgetsu planned to master the Snow Ninja's data first and then attempt development himself, to see if he could create an external power source willing for his use.
Indeed, Mokgetsu considered whether to hand over the Chakra Armor to Konoha for research, which would certainly be faster than doing it alone.
However, there was a problem; although the Chakra Armor was useless to Mokgetsu, it held enhancements for ordinary Jonin and even elite Jonin. The special minerals required to craft Chakra Armor were currently available only in the Snow Country, which itself didn't have plenty.
Once this matter was disclosed, it was questionable regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Mokgetsu had no faith that Danzo would make honest, costly purchases. The Ninja World War was ongoing, and Konoha's expenditure in all areas was significant.
If this information leaked to the Ninja World, undoubtedly, Snow Country would suffer, with the Hidden Cloud being the closest major nation notorious for seizing resources.
Considering those impacts, Mokgetsu decided to research independently for now, as Kazahana Sosetsu had provided him with a considerable amount of minerals, sufficient for long-term research.
Besides the Chakra Armor, the gains from the Snow Country included some miscellaneous rewards, which held minimal significance to Mokgetsu.
