"Teacher Mokgetsu!" Obito shouted excitedly outside the door.
But even after a minute passed, no one responded to Obito.
Obito scratched his head, feeling a bit strange. He thought a lot before coming here, such as today being Saturday, so Mokgetsu wouldn't be teaching at the Ninja Academy.
"Could it be that since it's a holiday, Teacher Mokgetsu slept in a bit?" Obito speculated.
He immediately dismissed this idea; he might do this, but Mokgetsu definitely wouldn't.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, are you home?" Obito tried knocking on the door again and asked.
A minute later, still no response.
Obito turned around and headed towards the Southern Border Forest. You might not find Mokgetsu at home, but in the Southern Border Forest, even if Mokgetsu's real body isn't there, there would be his shadow clone.
When Obito arrived at the usual training spot in the Southern Border Forest, he saw Kakashi repeatedly swinging a sword, Might Guy doing various exercises, Shisui forming seals and spitting out flames, and Nohara Rin standing in front of Mokgetsu listening to him.
"Ah, did you guys come looking for Teacher Mokgetsu so early right after the exams ended?" Obito asked with a puzzled look.
He had planned to secretly work hard to amaze everyone, but these people were more diligent than each other. He hadn't seen anyone when he got up at eight; who knows what time they got Mokgetsu to the Southern Border Forest.
"What else?" Kakashi exhaled slightly and said calmly.
Although Minato was his guiding teacher, and Kakashi recognized Minato, in the cultivation of the Transparent World, Minato couldn't help much. Kakashi planned to consult Mokgetsu for a month to master the Transparent World and prepare for the Chunin Examination.
The exam didn't matter much to Kakashi, who was already a Chunin, but as he advanced, he would face Obito and Might Guy. He didn't want to lose again; he wanted to reclaim his previous losses.
After all, he was a genius, and constantly losing was out of the question.
"It's not so bad; we usually get up at six, don't we?" Might Guy maintained his breathing technique, hopping with a stone, and answered as he passed by.
"Getting up at six is not normal; only you would do that." Obito retorted.
Then Obito approached Mokgetsu.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, could you help me design a special training plan to enhance my strength, one that will allow me to defeat enemies even when my ninjutsu is restrained?"
"No problem, Obito. Start your constant state training, and I will guide you in order." Mokgetsu nodded and said.
Having achieved the perfect level of Breath of Water, and with Nohara Rin practicing Basic Breathing for almost three months, it was time for her to learn Breath of Water.
"Okay." Obito gave a thumbs up to Mokgetsu and Nohara Rin and began his constant state training.
He had been learning the breathing technique for nearly a year and was quite familiar with the various current stages of training.
"When using Breath of Water, you must not be impatient. Maintain a calm and composed mindset to maximize its power." Mokgetsu reminded.
Breath of Water is not suitable for impatient individuals; it requires a calm and serene heart.
After explaining some of the theory, Mokgetsu began formally teaching Nohara Rin the Breath of Water.
Since she had first learned Basic Breathing for three months, Breath of Water was one of the easiest techniques to learn. Nohara Rin picked it up quickly. Unlike Obito and others who struggled for days initially without gaining proficiency, within about half an hour, Mokgetsu used an appraisal on Nohara Rin, and Breath of Water appeared in her skills list with a proficiency of two.
Mokgetsu nodded in his heart, feeling that Nohara Rin was much more fortunate than Obito and the others back then. First, Mokgetsu had a deeper understanding of the breathing technique, becoming more experienced in teaching it, and the teaching skill was also enhanced, boosting the effectiveness. Given these advantages, Nohara Rin's progress was quite normal.
Next, Mokgetsu deployed a shadow clone to continue guiding Nohara Rin, while he went over to Kakashi, as Might Guy had already sought Mokgetsu's guidance earlier.
Noticing Mokgetsu approaching, Kakashi stopped his sword swings but continued the operation of his breathing technique.
"First, tell me in detail about your sensations the day you activated the Transparent World," Mokgetsu said.
His Transparent World was innate with the perfect level breathing technique, usable effortlessly. Therefore, he needed to understand Kakashi's specifics to plan the subsequent training.
Kakashi nodded, recalled all his sensations from that day, and shared them.
"It was very painful, my whole body hurt, and I had no strength. It took all my energy just to move. However, before swinging the sword, I didn't feel much because there was only one thought throughout my body—to defeat the enemy. As this thought became clearer, a sense of transparency gradually emerged in my mind, allowing me to see clearly my body and the enemy's body..."
"Extreme physical pain combined with an unyielding spirit?" Mokgetsu mused thoughtfully.
It had to be said that Kakashi's realization of the Transparent World was entirely befitting a protagonist, with physical pain, a firm heart to protect his companions, and Kakashi's innate talent all contributing to his early mastery of the Transparent World.
