"Yamato's trust level is also full." Looking at the suddenly popped-up information, Mokgetsu nodded slightly.
The importance of trust level is undeniable. A higher trust level not only grants more chakra feedback but also unlocks higher-level skills.
"I wonder what kind of perfect-level reward will appear this time." Mokgetsu was a bit expectant.
Every disciple who reaches trust level four has a chance to trigger a perfect-level reward.
Perfect-level skills are very precious, and even now, Mokgetsu doesn't have many, and each is an important part of his strength.
Mokgetsu's ideal reward is a perfect-level chakra nature transformation, preferably the one with which he has the least proficiency.
A ninja's strength is inseparable from chakra. Even when performing Taijutsu, chakra is consumed, and chakra nature transformation, as one of its foundations, can enhance multiple abilities.
If Mokgetsu's lightning attribute chakra nature transformation reached a perfect level, then the power of his Thoughtless Slash would soar. The Lightning Release under the Breath of Thunder Chakra Mode would also greatly increase in power, and his various lightning attribute chakra techniques would become stronger due to the powerful nature changes.
Suppressing various thoughts in his mind, Mokgetsu continued to look at the Wood Release Ninjutsu Scroll left by Senju Hashirama.
It's not just for show; Mokgetsu is indeed studying Wood Release.
Aside from the aura of Senju Hashirama, the strength of Wood Release itself is quite significant, being both offensive and defensive while also possessing a special advantage against Tailed Beasts.
Approaching seven in the evening, Mokgetsu was preparing to give classes to the Anbu squad leaders when the memories of his Shadow Clone flowed into his mind.
"Yamato's new training plan... I'll go back and work on it later; I might as well unlock a skill too." Mokgetsu moved without hesitation and quickly headed to the training field of the training squad.
After school, Yamato had found his Shadow Clone in the Southern Border Forest to consult Mokgetsu on how to balance school and training.
The Shadow Clone wasn't aware of Yamato's trust level increase, but because creating a suitable training plan would take some time, it didn't provide an immediate answer.
This actually made it easier for Mokgetsu to surprise Yamato with gold coins tomorrow.
Today's disciple return slots were already used up, so even if the trust level was broken through, the skill couldn't be unlocked immediately.
...
The next afternoon, after returning from the Ninja Academy, Mokgetsu went directly to Yamato's house.
Mokgetsu arrived slightly earlier than Yamato, waiting for three minutes in the vicinity before spotting him.
"Teacher Mokgetsu." Yamato looked somewhat surprised upon seeing Mokgetsu and then noticed the things in Mokgetsu's hands.
Immediately, Yamato thought of his consultation the day before, feeling slightly touched.
Mokgetsu not only completed the training plan for him as quickly as possible but also delivered it directly to his home.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, please come in." Yamato quickly invited Mokgetsu inside.
Mokgetsu nodded and entered Yamato's house.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, please wait a moment, I'll pour you a glass of water." Yamato initially wanted to offer Mokgetsu tea but remembered he had no tea leaves at home.
The first reason being Yamato didn't drink tea himself, and the second reason being he had no needs for entertaining guests.
Mokgetsu placed the secret medicine and the training plan on the table without directly discussing cultivation, instead asking Yamato about his school experience.
"How was school these past few days? Are you getting used to it?"
"Besides the courses on ninja knowledge being boring, everything else is fine," Yamato answered honestly.
Most students enjoy ninja-related courses but dislike pure courses like history and literature. Due to his experiences, Yamato felt differently from ordinary students; he liked history and culture.
"So it seems you don't mind going to school," Mokgetsu commented with a smile.
Yamato nodded in agreement.
He didn't just not mind; he actually liked it a little. If not for school interrupting his training, he might have been willing to stay in the Ninja Academy longer.
"Enjoy school life well; once you graduate, returning to school won't make you a student anymore," Mokgetsu reminded.
With that, Mokgetsu placed the items he brought in front of Yamato. "Here's your new training plan I've set up for you, and this is a semester's worth of cultivation elixir."
"Thank you." Yamato expressed his gratitude.
He was truly fortunate to have met Mokgetsu. Had he stayed in Root, though someone might have taught him cultivation, and he wouldn't have starved, life wouldn't be this good.
He likely wouldn't have the chance to go to school, nor would he easily meet a senior like Kakashi, even less so a teacher as caring as Mokgetsu.
[You gifted your disciple a cultivation elixir, and your disciple was extremely grateful, rewarding you with a super critical hit, gaining the reward—Wood Release (Perfect Level)]
As the information popped up, a large amount of Wood Release cultivation knowledge surged into Mokgetsu's mind.
Some Wood Release Ninjutsu he was still learning instantly became clear, and those he had already mastered gained much deeper insights.
"Then train well; that's the best return for me." Mokgetsu smiled, patting Yamato's head.
Though it wasn't the basic chakra nature transformation he envisioned, in some sense, it was even better.
Because raising proficiency in a bloodline limit is much more challenging than with regular nature transformation.
Class feedback proficiency requires students to have truly learned; meaning, if Mokgetsu teaches Wood Release or Ice Release, it won't have the same effect as ordinary nature transformation because it's really hard to learn just by being taught.
Unless Mokgetsu teaches a group of ninjas who already possess Wood Release and Ice Release, then it would work. But there aren't that many ninjas in the Ninja World who have mastered bloodline limits.
