[Disciple Uchiha Shisui worked hard in the Jonin assessment and achieved excellent results, promoted to Jonin, received rewards: Chakra +2400, Ninja Tools Drawing Scroll, Unknown Pokemon Egg (exclusive to Uchiha Shisui for hatching)]
After Shisui passed the Jonin assessment and was promoted to Jonin, Mokgetsu's panel immediately issued the rewards.
Mokgetsu skipped over the fixed Chakra and Pokemon Egg and looked at the Ninja Tools Drawing Scroll, which was a reward he had never received before.
Based on the name of the drawing scroll, it should only draw ninja tools, but it's unclear if the range of these tools is limited to the Naruto World or includes worlds beyond.
As before, Mokgetsu washed his hands first and then clicked to draw.
[The Ninja Tools Drawing Scroll has been consumed, and a ninja tool has been obtained—Bend Spoon]
Mokgetsu showed a slightly peculiar expression, Bend Spoon, how interesting.
If he remembered correctly, this was an item in the Pokemon game, which in the game increased the power of the Psychic-type skills of the Pokemon carrying it by twenty percent.
[Bend Spoon: Infusing Chakra can enhance Yin Release ninjutsu used by the bearer]
After reading the description of the Bend Spoon, Mokgetsu found that although this ninja tool seemed a bit abstract, its localized effect wasn't weak.
It directly enhances all ninjutsu with a certain nature transformation, and if the increase is decent, it basically equates to having high proficiency in a yin-attribute breathing technique.
After leaving the camp, Mokgetsu took out the Bend Spoon from the system backpack, an ordinary-looking bent iron spoon appeared in Mokgetsu's right hand.
With his left hand, Mokgetsu focused Chakra and then used Yin-attribute nature transformation to strengthen his left hand with Armament.
The black Armament covered Mokgetsu's palm, and then he clenched his fist and slammed it to the ground.
The ground directly shattered under Mokgetsu's Armament Iron Fist, and after the mud and stones flew around, a large pit appeared.
Then Mokgetsu walked over to the side, this time he first infused part of his Chakra into the Bend Spoon.
Along with the infusion of Chakra, a faint blue light emitted from the Bend Spoon, then Mokgetsu once again concentrated Armament, clenched his fist, and punched towards the ground.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and a slightly larger pit formed after Mokgetsu's punch.
Mokgetsu nodded slightly, he used the same total amount of Chakra for the two attacks just now, for the first attack Mokgetsu used all the Chakra on Armament, while for the second attack Mokgetsu allocated some Chakra into the Bend Spoon.
Although the total amount of Chakra used was the same, the Armament with the Bend Spoon's enhancement was noticeably stronger.
Next, Mokgetsu began testing the upper limit of the Bend Spoon. He fixed a certain amount of Chakra for strengthening his fist with Armament and gradually increased the Chakra delivered into the Bend Spoon.
Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand. On the final attempt, Mokgetsu injected a total of thirty-five thousand Chakra points into the Bend Spoon.
Finally, Mokgetsu concluded that when the Chakra value of the enhanced ninjutsu remains unchanged, the optimal amount of Chakra to infuse into the Bend Spoon is below thirty thousand. Above thirty thousand, although effective, the cost-performance ratio decreases, making it better to conserve some Chakra.
After Mokgetsu's Chakra fully recovered, he conducted another test, this time not only increasing the output to the Bend Spoon but also continuously increasing the output to Armament.
It was concluded that as the Chakra used for ninjutsu increases, the enhancement effect of the Bend Spoon on Yin Release will change. The more Chakra consumed by the enhanced ninjutsu, the smaller the enhancement. Increasing the output to the Bend Spoon can maintain the enhancement, and at this time, Mokgetsu's previously tested optimal Chakra amount will change, exceeding thirty thousand, and more.
In addition, Mokgetsu also tested the duration of the enhancement, with each infusion maintaining the effect for ten minutes. If the ninjutsu is used too frequently, the duration of the enhancement will be shortened.
"Indeed, promoting to Jonin comes with rewards strongly related to the disciple," Mokgetsu thought.
The Bend Spoon is very strong for ninja who excel in Yin Release, useful for a versatile expert like Mokgetsu as well, but not by much.
For Shisui, however, it's definitely like adding wings to a tiger; most of Shisui's strongest abilities are related to Yin Release, Sharingan, Genjutsu, and Armament are all related to Yin Chakra nature transformation.
...
After successfully being promoted to Jonin, Uchiha Shisui quickly returned to the battlefield.
Compared to Konoha, there were more people he cherished on the East Coast battlefield.
"You came back so fast, Shisui, how did your Jonin assessment go?" Obito couldn't help but ask after Shisui returned.
At this moment, Obito felt extremely conflicted. As a family brother, Obito hoped Shisui would successfully advance, but as a member of the same team, Obito wished Shisui would fail so they could continue as Chunin together.
"It was alright, I passed the assessment," Shisui finally said the words Obito least wanted to hear.
Uchiha Obito, ten years old, was the only Chunin among Mokgetsu's disciples.
"What a terrifying nightmare, when did it begin?" Obito believed this could not be reality; he was in a fake, not real, world.
After all, he was Uchiha Obito, the quickest to master the Breathing Technique, the first among Mokgetsu's disciples to comprehend the Breathing Chakra Mode, and had once had mutual victories with Might Guy, even Kakashi had lost to him. How could he possibly be the only Chunin?
"Obito, are you okay?" Nohara Rin asked with concern upon seeing Obito suddenly lost in thought and looking unwell.
Rin's gentle voice pulled Obito out of his past musings.
Obito looked at Rin, who appeared slightly worried, at Shisui with his calm expression, and Kakashi, who seemed to have thought of something amusing. He could no longer deny the reality that he had become the lowest-ranked ninja among Teacher Mokgetsu's disciples.
"I'm fine," Obito said, shaking his head with a pale face, and then forced a smile as he looked at Shisui. "Congratulations, you succeeded on the first try. That's great."
Obito wished he could pass in one go too. That way, Kakashi wouldn't have the chance to mock him about their ninja levels, Rin would celebrate his promotion, and he would receive a Jonin gift from Mokgetsu like the others.
"How foolish of me, I should have read more books." Obito felt like crying over his lack of knowledge when it was most needed.
"Obito, if you keep trying, you'll be promoted soon too," encouraged Shisui.
Shisui wasn't just saying that; he believed Obito could also achieve promotion without examinations, just like Might Guy.
After all, Obito wasn't lacking; they were all renowned geniuses on the battlefield.
Obito sighed and nodded. At this point, he could only take it step by step, biding his time until he could confront Kakashi when he became a Jonin.
Then, Shisui went to find Mokgetsu to report on the exam results.
Obito and the others went along; Kakashi wanted to ask about the cultivation of the Thoughtless Slash, and Obito wanted to see if Shisui would receive a Summoning Beast Egg.
If Shisui received one, Obito would think Mokgetsu had prepared one for each of them to give upon their promotions.
If Shisui didn't get one, Obito estimated he wouldn't receive one when he became a Jonin either.
"The youngest Jonin in Konoha's history, Shisui, you make me proud," Mokgetsu said with a pleased smile.
Obito couldn't help but sigh again. This handsome title would never belong to him, even if he became a Jonin on the spot, he couldn't surpass Shisui.
"It's all thanks to your good teaching, Teacher Mokgetsu," Shisui credited Mokgetsu for his accomplishments.
"As an eight-year-old Jonin, you should have more confidence in yourself and not underestimate your efforts," Mokgetsu said, smiling and shaking his head before heading into the tent.
When he came out again, Mokgetsu held a large egg.
"This is your Jonin gift. Take good care of it; it will become a helpful ally in the future," Mokgetsu said, handing the Pokemon Egg to Shisui.
Shisui cautiously took it with gratitude.
To him, this gift was second only to the first birthday gift from Mokgetsu, and since it's a living being, he had to care for it attentively.
[You gifted a disciple a Pokemon Egg, and due to the disciple's deep gratitude, received a reward — Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Change (Master Level)]
Seeing the reward notification, Mokgetsu inwardly nodded. In terms of rarity, a master-level nature change is far superior to a master-level ninjutsu or taijutsu.
There are many with multiple master-level ninjutsu and taijutsu, but few have multiple master-level nature changes. Adding high proficiency into the mix makes it even rarer.
So, even a duplicate master-level nature change reward is better than a non-duplicate master-level ninjutsu because duplicates can increase proficiency.
Mokgetsu had once trained his Earth Attribute Nature Change to the master level through special training, so this reward was converted into three thousand points of proficiency. The moment it converted, a wealth of experience in Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes flashed in Mokgetsu's mind.
Obito felt largely relieved, thinking it seemed everyone had a share.
"Hehe, Teacher Mokgetsu, could you give me my Jonin gift in advance, so it can hatch sooner?" Obito joked.
"Right now, there aren't any Ninja Beast Eggs. Even if you want one, I can't give it to you," Mokgetsu replied after thinking it over.
Mokgetsu wasn't lying; Obito would get a Pokemon Egg when he advanced to Jonin.
Obito's smile instantly froze. Mokgetsu didn't seem to be joking.
"Why... Why is it like this?" Obito stammered, feeling a bit agitated.
If there were no more Ninja Beast Eggs, he would be at a disadvantage during the civil war since Might Guy and the other two had received Ninja Beast Eggs.
"I will try to keep looking; maybe when you become a Jonin, there will be more," Mokgetsu said with a gentle smile.
Obito was greatly moved, thinking that Teacher Mokgetsu indeed favored him the most.
Even if there was no Ninja Beast Egg as a gift when he became a Jonin, Obito wouldn't mind because he knew Mokgetsu would give one if he had it.
Just as Obito was about to say something, the egg Kakashi had been holding suddenly emitted a strong white light.
