The ninjas didn't question it; instead, they were all very pleased.
Normal ninjas have mastered nature transformation, but those with nature transformation as strong as Mokgetsu's are rare. They hadn't forgotten Mokgetsu's Fire Release that swallowed all their attacks.
[Completed an Intermediate Lesson]
[Evaluation: S]
[Rewards: Improved Understanding of Chakra Nature Transformation, Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +20, Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +18, Water Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +13, Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes +9]
Looking at the panel's settlement rewards, Mokgetsu could basically confirm that the increased understanding of the lesson content was a special reward for an S-level evaluation of an intermediate class.
Mokgetsu glanced at the panel to find even the proficiency in Ice Release had increased. Although the increase wasn't significant, only by ten-something points, it meant he might be able to develop a Bloodline Limit by achieving intermediate S-level evaluations.
However, Mok get currently had no interest in developing new Bloodline Limits, as it didn't provide him much improvement.
Compared to nature transformation, he was more interested in enhancing his understanding of Fuinjutsu to speed up his fuinjutsu development progress.
Nevertheless, this training wasn't suitable for teaching Fuinjutsu. Fuinjutsu is unlike Ninjutsu or Taijutsu; it's not part of the compulsory projects for ninjas. Teaching Fuinjutsu suddenly would seem quite bizarre, like suddenly introducing competition topics in a regular class.
Mokgetsu was not about to compromise his persona just to speed up a little. The appearance of the Enlightenment Skill had already accelerated his research.
Time quickly advanced to mid-November, and by then, Mokgetsu had been teaching the Root Anbu for a month.
During this month, the ninjas who received training learned a lot, with most being able to use Soru, and the progress of the Breath of Darkness was also more than halfway through.
Mokgetsu also gained a lot; an A-level evaluation granted him the secret techniques of the Ino-Shika-Cho and Inuzuka Clan, while the S-level evaluation accelerated his development of the Breath of Wind. He could complete the Breath of Wind development in the next two weeks and then proceed to study the Breath of Sun.
Then there was a truly delightful event—his Fuinjutsu power bank project finally made progress.
"Let's call it the Yang Seal." Mokgetsu looked at the pile of draft papers on his desk and smiled.
With existing ninjutsu as a reference, Mokgetsu developed a Yang Seal that he could cultivate based directly on the Yin Seal.
However, at present, this was only a half-finished product, as the Ying Seal, the reference for the Yang Seal, was also a half-finished product. Currently, the Yang Seal still lacked a ninjutsu similar to the Strength of a Hundred Seal to pair with it.
Mokgetsu already had some development ideas, which were to bind it with the Breathing Technique.
When not in combat, the Yang Seal would only release weak chakra to enhance the Breathing Technique's constant effect, improving physical abilities. In combat, the Yang Seal would automatically enter the Breathing Pattern State upon being unlocked.
The chakra consumption rate in Pattern State is extremely terrifying, but using the Yang Seal's chakra for combat in Pattern State would be like Mokgetsu storing a powerful move without consuming mana daily.
The ideas were there, but Mokgetsu still encountered many difficulties in practical development, especially in binding the Breathing Technique to the Yang Seal.
Mokgetsu is resourceful, so one afternoon, he directly went to Tsunade's place.
Although many people laughed at Tsunade for turning her grandfather's passive technique into a powerful move, Mokgetsu considered Tsunade, who developed the Strength of a Hundred Seal, a genius ninja, possessing the knowledge he lacked.
"Oh, Mokgetsu, you've come." Tsunade, lying on the sofa pondering life, spotted Mokgetsu and immediately smiled, approached him, and took the bag Mokgetsu was carrying. "Let me see what delicious food you've brought."
"There's no chicken, but beef is just fine."
After looking through it, Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
Mokgetsu put the groceries into the kitchen and then asked, "Lady Tsunade, I've got new ideas about the automatic healing ninjutsu we discussed last time after using the Yin Seal. How about we discuss it?"
At this time, Shizune came over and put two cups of tea in front of them.
Tsunade took up the teacup, took a sip, and continued to slump on the sofa in response: "Go ahead, if you hadn't reminded me, I'd have forgotten about that matter."
Currently, Tsunade wasn't too concerned about enhancing combat power as she didn't want to fight as a ninja anymore.
Although she had the idea before Mokgetsu mentioned it, she lacked the motivation to develop it, only considering it when really bored.
Mokgetsu maintained a warm smile on his face, unchanged by Tsunade's words.
"Here's my thought…" Mokgetsu explained in detail, based on his impression of the Strength of a Hundred Seal and his understanding of medical ninjutsu.
Initially, Tsunade wasn't moved and continued to lay listlessly on the sofa. However, as she listened further, she adjusted her posture.
She realized that Mokgetsu was seriously studying it, that it must have taken a long time to achieve such results.
"Actually, you don't need to be so earnest about this idea. You can't even train the Yin Seal, and this technique doesn't have much significance to me." Tsunade said, scratching her head.
Mokgetsu was too kind to her, which made her a bit uncomfortable and hindered her slack-off demeanor.
"I've developed something similar to the Yin Seal, the Yang Seal. The Yang Seal and the Yin Seal have similar flaws; I think this idea could also benefit my development of matching ninjutsu for the Yang Seal," Mokgetsu explained, sipping his hot tea.
"Ah, the Yang Seal?" Tsunade was a bit surprised; the Yin Seal was S-level Ninjutsu, could he have developed a similar thing so quickly?
Mokgetsu threw a scroll to Tsunade, containing his developed Yang Seal.
Tsunade took the scroll, looked through it seriously, and found the seal familiar, likely because of her familiarity with the Yin Seal.
"When you developed this seal, you must have put the Yin Seal right beside you," Tsunade teased, yet internally she was shocked at Mokgetsu's displayed talent in fuinjutsu.
No matter how much it mimicked the Yin Seal, it was indeed an S-level seal. With the brief time Tsunade had taught Mokgetsu, other people couldn't even learn it, yet Mokgetsu replicated a seal with similar functions, showcasing his evident fuinjutsu talent.
Seeing Mokgetsu reached this extent, Tsunade had to dig deep and share some of her ideas.
"I'm so tired." Feeling mentally fatigued from brainstorming, Tsunade couldn't help but let her slack-off spirit surge, and she looked at Shizune and asked: "Shizune, am I good to you? Would you listen to me?"
Shizune smiled and replied, "Yes, Lady Tsunade, you are very good to me, and of course, I would listen to you."
Although Tsunade often remained unbudged from her binge drinking, which required Shizune, who was less than ten, to take care of her daily needs, Shizune felt grateful to Tsunade and found a sense of family warmth with her.
"Alright then, I command you to reach my level in medical ninjutsu within a week, then research ninjutsu with Mokgetsu," commanded Tsunade.
Shizune looked confused at Tsunade, thinking she hadn't drunk; how could she start talking nonsense all of a sudden?
"Don't put Shizune in a difficult position," Mokgetsu could barely hold back his laughter.
"Lady Tsunade if you don't like these things, I will visit less often."
Tsunade showed a complex expression, torn between a carefree life of constant drinking with no responsibilities versus a normal life with delicious food but at the cost of resuming ninjutsu research, a hard decision to make.
"Let's bet on it, using dice." Tsunade ultimately decided to leave it to luck.
"If I win against you, I'll fully help develop your conceptualized ninjutsu, and if I lose to you, we'll act as if this was never discussed, and you just continue coming to learn medical ninjutsu as usual."
Although Tsunade loved gambling, she was very aware of her luck. Others might lose nine out of ten bets; she would lose ten out of ten.
She had lost for so long already; should she win unexpectedly this time, Tsunade would be speechless indeed.
