When Mu Yue arrived at the training ground, Yamato was already standing there waiting.
It was exactly half past six. The sky was dyed a light orange-red by the sunset. The sun was slowly sinking to the end of the horizon, leaving behind a golden afterglow.
The breeze hit the trees in the training ground, causing the layers of leaves to sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if nature was whispering.
Yamato stood alone at the edge of the training ground, his figure stretched out diagonally and projected on the soil covered with fallen leaves.
"When did you come?" Mu Yue walked forward and asked with a gentle smile.
"Six ten," Yamato answered honestly.
"Isn't the agreed time 6:40? Why are you here so early?"
"I had nothing to do in that room, and I thought I couldn't let Lady Mu Yue wait for me, so I came here early." Yamato explained.
Although he and Mu Yue had only met once, Yamato did have a lot of good feelings towards Mu Yue.
On the one hand, Mu Yue is the perfect ninja in Shimura Danzo's words, and is the direction he is striving for. On the other hand, Mu Yue's own temperament makes him feel very comfortable.
"Let's get to know each other formally. I'm Hanyu Muyue. You don't have to call me Lord Muyue. You can call me Teacher Muyue, or just call me Teacher." Muyue said with a warm smile.
"I am Jia." Yamato looked at Mu Yue quietly.
The warm and dazzling feeling gave Yamato the illusion that the scorching sun that had sunk into the horizon was rising again.
"Jia is just your code name at the root, not your name." Mu Yue shook her head.
Yamato's expression turned blank, "But I only have this code name that Danzo-sama gave me."
He is a man without a past, and to him, what Shimura Danzo gave him is everything.
"How about Yamato? Use it as your own name, not a code name." Mu Yue said as if thinking about it.
Mu Yue didn't want to take the opportunity to improve her favor, but simply felt that it would be a bit weird without a name.
"If you want to choose your own name, or if you think this name is not nice, that's fine, because the name is your own, and the most important thing is your own thoughts."
Yamato quickly shook his head, "No, I think this name is very good."
Mu Yue gave him the name out of good intentions, so how could Yamato mind it? Besides, he really thought the name was good, and he had a feeling that it was supposed to be that way.
"If Danzo asks you, just say that I gave you a name so that you could function normally in Konoha." Mu Yue thought for a moment and reminded him.
It's not that Mu Yue is making a fuss, but Shimura Danzo is just that sensitive.
At this time, Danzo Shimura was still dreaming that as long as a Wood Release ninja grew up normally, he could become a super strong man, so he attached great importance to Yamato and regarded Yamato as his secret weapon.
The secret weapon suddenly had a name, and God knows what kind of plot the sensitive Shimura Danzo would come up with in his mind, so Mu Yue helped Yamato come up with a reason that was very logical and in line with current reality.
Yamato nodded and wrote down Mu Yue's words.
"Next, you will climb the tree and then step on the water. I want to test your chakra control level." Mu Yue began to formally teach Yamato how to practice.
Mu Yue's Wood Release cannot be revealed for the time being, so Mu Yue's short-term training plan is to first improve Yamato's chakra control level, and then teach Yamato Water Release and Earth Release.
Following Mu Yue's instructions, Yamato walked up a big tree step by step as if walking on flat ground, then looked around and finally looked at Mu Yue.
Because he found that there seemed to be no water nearby for him to step on.
"Earth Escape: Earthquake Core!"
Mu Yue quickly formed hand seals to condense a large amount of chakra and controlled the ground in front of him to drop three meters.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Then Mu Yue spit out a huge amount of water to fill the sunken ground.
In just one minute, a huge swimming pool appeared on the training ground.
Yamato's mouth opened slightly, it was the first time he saw a ninja use large-scale ninjutsu to change the terrain.
"As long as you practice hard, you will be able to do it soon." Mu Yue patted Yamato's shoulder and said with a smile.
Because of Hashirama's cells, Yamato has a natural advantage in chakra. As long as his proficiency in nature-changing ninjutsu improves, his strength will not be bad.
Yamato is also good at treading water and has no problem running quickly on the water.
Mu Yue was not surprised by this. After all, he was the only Wood Release ninja after Hashirama. Danzo Shimura must have put a lot of effort into teaching him, so his foundation must be good.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Mu Yue formed hand seals and summoned a water dragon, which wreaked havoc on the huge swimming pool. The originally calm water surface suddenly became turbulent, and Yamato was no longer as calm as before.
Mu Yue taught Yamato just as he had taught Obito and the others before, training Yamato's chakra control ability and positioning.
An hour later, Mu Yue began to teach water ninjutsu. Yamato already mastered several water ninjutsu, so Mu Yue directly taught Yamato the Great Waterfall Technique.
Although the Great Waterfall Technique cannot directly increase the power of ninjutsu like the Sunny Day Technique, it can also create a favorable venue environment for water-style ninjas, and is considered a very good auxiliary water-style ninjutsu.
When the total teaching time reached two and a half hours, Mu Yue announced the end of the first day of teaching.
After hearing Mu Yue say that he could go home after the training, Yamato felt dazed.
He looked up at the sky and found that it had been filled with a deep dark blue color without anyone noticing, dotted with faint stars that flashed weak but firm light.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening, which is a bit late from a time perspective.
This training was a little special for Yamato. Although he had not been averse to training in the past and even looked forward to Shimura Danzo's teachings, it was the first time that he forgot about time during training.
"Teacher Mu Yue, thank you for your teaching. Goodbye." Although he was a little reluctant, Yamato still said goodbye to Mu Yue with respect.
A ninja like Mu Yue must have a lot of things to do, and it is not easy to find time to teach him.
After Mu Yue and Yamato returned to their respective homes, the Root ninja who had been watching them also returned to the Root to report to Danzo Shimura, and reported the entire process of Mu Yue's teaching.
"It's a very solid training program, but it can't be said to be special. Is it a problem of ability?" Danzo Shimura fell into thought.
He was not worried that Mu Yue would not teach seriously. Shimura Danzo was just curious about how Mu Yue would teach.
He paid attention to how Mu Yue trained Anbu ninjas, but he didn't pay much attention to how Mu Yue trained his disciples.
According to the report from the Root Ninja, Danzo Shimura can only be described as mediocre.
"Test Jia's strength in a month. If it doesn't work, let Mu Yue change the training plan." Shimura Danzo thought. He felt that Mu Yue's training was a bit too gentle.
In view of Mu Yue's previous teaching achievements, Shimura Danzo chose to believe first and then question.
This is the privilege of the strong, if it was a Root ninja, Danzo Shimura would have questioned it first and then doubted it.
After letting the Root ninja monitor Yamato for five days, Danzo Shimura withdrew the Root's surveillance of Yamato.
Many Roots are currently receiving training. The Root is already short-staffed, and Danzo Shimura does not have the energy to spare to use the Root's power on something that does not make much sense.
…
It was another Sunday, and because it was a holiday, Mu Yue changed Yamato's practice time to daytime.
At the same time, Mu Yue also notified the other disciples to go to the training ground where he usually taught Yamato.
"It's daytime today, I wonder if Teacher Mu Yue will teach for a little longer." Yamato arrived at the training ground early and looked at the scorching sun rising in the sky with some anticipation in his heart.
What Yamato looks forward to most every day now is practicing, or to be more precise, practicing under Mu Yue's guidance.
This was the first time he received Mu Yue's instruction during the day. The lessons for the first six days started at 6:30 and usually ended at 9:30 at the latest.
"It would be nice if today was a whole morning." This is what Yamato most wants to happen right now.
Suddenly, Yamato noticed a figure walking slowly towards the training ground.
Yamato's expression did not change, because that was definitely not Mu Yue. The figure was just a little taller than him, and finally a few years older than him.
When the figure came closer, Yamato became more certain because the figure's hair was white.
When the white-haired ninja was about to approach Yamato, he didn't pay attention, thinking that it might be a Konoha ninja passing by.
Yamato doesn't care about Kakashi, but Kakashi cares about Yamato a little.
For some reason, he felt that the ninja in front of him with long hair and a forehead protector looked familiar.
But no matter how Kakashi tried to recall the familiar ninja's face in his mind, he could not find any information related to the ninja in front of him.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Kakashi's mind, and a figure that did not belong to this time overlapped with the strange ninja in front of him.
Kakashi rubbed his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became somewhat dangerous.
A certain nasty guy took the opportunity to hit him on the head three times, each time with quite a bit of force.
In order to avoid blaming a good person by mistake, Kakashi first looked at the long-haired ninja carefully and determined that the long-haired ninja in front of him had many similarities with the Yamato he saw in Loulan.
"Hello, what's your name?" Kakashi asked politely and kindly.
Since Kakashi had a very good attitude and Yamato was kind by nature, he answered Kakashi's question directly.
"I'm Yamato." Yamato replied with a smile on his face.
He always remembered Mu Yue's words. Jia was just his code name in the Root, and Yamato was his name, which was given to him by Mu Yue.
"Finally I found you." The kind smile on Kakashi's face became more and more intense.
If Obito saw this scene, he would definitely take a few steps back subconsciously. Kakashi usually doesn't laugh, and if he does, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Yamato was a little confused. He didn't know Kakashi. Could it be that he was a ninja that Mu Yue knew?
"What is your relationship with Teacher Mu Yue now?" Kakashi did not retaliate immediately, but first asked about the relationship between Yamato and Mu Yue.
He felt that Yamato's appearance in this training ground was definitely not a coincidence, and it was very likely that Mu Yue had called him.
"Teacher Mu Yue is responsible for guiding my training." Yamato first answered Kakashi's question, and then asked:
"Are you also a ninja who trained with Teacher Mu Yue?"
He noticed that Kakashi also called Mu Yue "Teacher Mu Yue".
"I am Mu Yue's disciple." Kakashi did not hide anything and told Yamato about his relationship with Mu Yue.
"You have only recently started practicing with Teacher Mu Yue, right? I have been practicing with Teacher Mu Yue for more than two years, so I am considered your senior."
Yamato looked at Kakashi with envy. He didn't know whether his relationship with Mu Yue could be considered master and disciple, nor did he know how long he could continue to practice with Mu Yue.
"Kakashi-senpai," Yamato called politely.
Kakashi is older than him and received Mu Yue's instruction earlier than him, so he is indeed his predecessor.
Kakashi's smile deepened. "Yamato, you know, Teacher Mu Yue likes diligent students the most. Let's start training now. Teacher Mu Yue will definitely be very happy to see us."
"So that's how it is." Yamato looked eager to try.
Mu Yue was so nice to him, and Yamato wanted to make Mu Yue happy.
Yamato looked at Kakashi with gratitude. There are still many good people in the world.
"As a senior, let me give you some guidance on your training." Kakashi continued.
"Will this be too much trouble for you, senior?" Yamato was a little flattered.
"It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble. It's a scene that Teacher Mu Yue is very happy to see disciples living in harmony and helping each other." Kakashi waved his hand.
"Then what should we do next?" Yamato agreed immediately after hearing that it could make Mu Yue happy.
The smile on Kakashi's face gradually changed from kind to nuclear, "It's very simple, you attack me with all your strength, and I will take care of the rest."
The practice battle can not only take revenge, but also help him find out Yamato's current strength. It is a win-win situation. He wins twice.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Yamato couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's great that you are worthy of being Mr. Mu Yue's disciple."
Although Kakashi told him to use his full strength, Yamato didn't know Kakashi's strength and was worried about hurting Kakashi, so Yamato launched a tentative attack first.
After a few moves, Yamato found that Kakashi was very strong and he couldn't even touch the corner of Kakashi's clothes.
Bang!
After dodging Yamato's swinging punch, Kakashi smashed Yamato's head with a knife.
"You're punching too slowly. How can you hit the person like this?" Kakashi instructed seriously.
Yamato silently kept Kakashi's words in mind, then feinted with his left fist and swung out his right leg at high speed.
But how could Yamato's somewhat immature physical skills be hidden from Kakashi's transparent world? All of Yamato's movements were seen through by him.
Kakashi dodged it with ease, then punched Yamato in the head again with his backhand.
Feeling the touch of the fist, Kakashi felt extremely refreshed, just like taking a gulp of ice-cold soda on a hot summer day, his whole body felt refreshed and his mind was uplifted.
Kakashi began to understand the future Yamato a little bit. It turned out that hitting someone you hate on the head was so satisfying. No wonder the future Yamato wanted to hit him three times.
"The steps are loose and the lower body is weak!" Kakashi continued to comment.
Yamato touched his head with one hand. He felt that Kakashi-senpai's care was a little too heavy for him.
At this time, Obito, who rarely got up early, arrived at the training ground with Shisui.
Looking at Yamato and Kakashi who were fighting, oh no, it was Yamato who was being beaten by Kakashi, Obito felt that he looked familiar.
"Isn't this Captain Yamato? How come he has become so small after not seeing him for several months?" Obito recognized that this was the Captain Yamato of the Anbu who traveled through time with Uzumaki Naruto.
"It should be the Yamato of our time, not the Yamato of the future." Shisui said after thinking for a while.
Shisui did not go on the Dragon Vein mission and had not seen Yamato's appearance. He deduced based on normal logic that the Yamato who was beaten by Kakashi could not be the Anbu leader Yamato.
"Hehe, that's definitely not the case. If time traveling was that easy, Teacher Mu Yue would definitely take us to the future to play when we were in Loulan." Obito laughed. He was just making a casual complaint just now.
Seeing the other disciples arrive, Kakashi stopped fighting. Mu Yue should have arrived at this time, and it would be impolite to beat him again.
Just as Kakashi expected, Mu Yue suddenly appeared in front of them at the right time.
"Teacher Mu Yue." Everyone called out to Mu Yue with respect.
"Good morning." Mu Yue smiled and nodded in response.
Might Guy temporarily returned to Teacher Chen's team, Nohara Rin was training with Tsunade, and all the disciples who could come came.
Then Mu Yue called Yamato to the side to face the other three disciples.
"He is Yamato, and he will practice with you today." Mu Yue briefly introduced himself to Yamato, then gave the three of them a wink.
Kakashi nodded. The matters concerning the future of ninjas must not be spoken carelessly. Even if Mu Yue did not remind Kakashi, he would remind Obito not to tell Yamato about the future.
"I'm Uchiha Shisui, please take care of me." Shisui took the initiative to introduce himself.
"I'm Uchiha Obito. Follow me and I promise that Kakashi won't be able to bully you anymore." Obito said, patting his chest.
Yamato looked at Obito in surprise. Was he just bullied by Kakashi-senpai?
Kakashi didn't say anything, but silently took out the photo of Obito in the Civil War from his ninja tool bag and showed it to Obito.
Obito looked at Kakashi with angry eyes, but had to shut his mouth and stop talking. Kakashi's meaning was very clear. If he continued talking, he would fill the main city area of Konoha with copies of his photos.
"I'm Hatake Kakashi. Don't listen to what Obito says. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm the most reliable."
Kakashi patted Yamato's head with a friendly look, and then apologized sincerely: "Sorry, does it hurt? I may have accidentally used a little force just now."
"It's okay, it won't hurt anymore. Kakashi-senpai, you were just giving me instructions." Yamato thought he might have wronged Kakashi-senpai.
After all, Senior Kakashi also looks very gentle, although not as gentle as Teacher Mu Yue.
Kakashi raised a smile and looked at Yamato. There was still a long time to go, and he would slowly take back those three punches with interest.
"Hehe, now that we already know each other, let's start practicing." Mu Yue coughed twice.
