[You gifted the disciple with a beautifully crafted kunai, for which the disciple is extremely grateful, receiving a reward - the Six Paths Staff]
This time, the reward was a bit unexpected for Mokgetsu; it wasn't a skill, but a tangible item.
He didn't have much experience with long-handled weapons, but Mokgetsu thought that as long as the weapon was sturdy enough and his strength was sufficient, basic use should not be a problem.
He felt this weapon should be reliable enough since Obito's emotions were already high. If it weren't for having experienced a peak before, achieving a Perfect Level reward today would have been quite easy.
"Blow out the candles and make a wish." Mokgetsu smiled and patted Obito's head, saying.
"Mm-hmm!" Obito nodded in response, quietly wiping away the water mist in his eyes as he walked up to the cake.
Obito clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently wished in his heart, "If wishes really can come true, then my wish is to have my ten wishes come true."
"The first wish is for this happy life to last until the end of life, the second is for Grandma to have a healthy and long life. The third is to become the person Rin admires, the fourth..."
As Obito thought about whether his tenth wish should be to have ten more wishes or a hundred more wishes, he realized that he had been wishing for quite some time.
"Then the tenth wish is for all the previous wishes to come true!" Obito silently finished his wish and opened his eyes with a smile.
"I finished making my wishes, let's have cake everyone." Obito opened his eyes and said with a happy face.
"It feels like you were really serious about your wishes, Obito. You must have thought about it for a long time before deciding." Nohara Rin said softly with a smile.
"Hehe, it wasn't that long." Obito chuckled, scratching his head, as he wasn't constantly thinking, just continuously wishing.
"Obito really has a reliable teacher and a great group of friends." Obito's grandmother looked at the harmonious scene among the group and showed a heartfelt smile.
Since Obito was raised by her alone, she always worried about his growth. She didn't expect Obito to become a famous or excellent ninja; she just hoped for him to grow up happily, and if she could hold her great-grandson before she died, that would be even better.
Because of Obito's grandmother's presence, the birthday party ended relatively early to avoid disturbing the elderly's rest.
After the gathering, Mokgetsu went alone to the forest to test the quality of the new weapon he received.
With a thought, Mokgetsu summoned a black tin staff into his hand. Such physical items awarded by the system could be utilized anytime from the system space.
Mokgetsu examined the so-called Six Paths Staff for a moment.
The staff was quite simple, just a black rod with different designs on each side, one being the moon, the other the sun.
Mokgetsu first tested the hardness of the Six Paths Staff. He concentrated his breath, bursting out his strength using the Breath of Rock: Full Concentration, and used the Finger Gun on the Six Paths Staff.
Boom!
The ground beside the Six Paths Staff cracked directly, while the staff itself remained unscathed, looking the same as when Mokgetsu just retrieved it.
Seeing the Six Paths Staff unharmed, Mokgetsu intensified his efforts, opening the third gate of the Eight Gates and activating the Breath of Rock Pattern.
His aura had already become incredibly terrifying, with the airflow generated by his aura rustling the leaves loudly.
"Armament Finger Gun!" Finally, Mokgetsu used Armament Aura, covering his body with a pitch-black armament, and pointed towards the Six Paths Staff.
Rumble!!
An explosion sounded, the ground within several dozen meters around Mokgetsu collapsing, dust rising continuously, and the trees near him were also toppled by the shockwave.
After releasing the first strike, Mokgetsu quickly canceled the Eight Gates and Pattern Mode, using Wind Release to dispel the grayish-yellow dust mist.
The dust mist dispersed, revealing the pure black Six Paths Staff to Mokgetsu's eyes, still showing no damage. His previous strike hadn't even left a white mark on it.
Mokgetsu was very satisfied with the hardness of the Six Paths Staff.
Though that strike wasn't his limit in power, he used quite a bit of strength. The shockwave alone could destroy several dozen meters of ground, indicating how powerful that strike was. Yet, such powerful force couldn't leave a mark on the Six Paths Staff, showcasing its incredible hardness.
Mokgetsu actually considered trying whether the Breath of Thunder Pattern combined with consuming 35,000 Chakra to perform the Armament could leave a mark on the Six Paths Staff, but decided against it. Using too much Chakra made him feel unsafe, and the commotion would be too much.
Then Mokgetsu attempted to test the Chakra conductivity of the Six Paths Staff. He injected Lighthing Release Chakra into it, and although Mokgetsu could feel the Chakra inside, no lightning appeared outside the Six Paths Staff. When he tried injecting Fire Attribute Chakra, no flames appeared either.
This was a strange phenomenon, but the lack of visual effects didn't mean no enhancement. Mokgetsu compared the changes in the Six Paths Staff with and without Chakra.
The pit created by the Six Paths Staff after injecting Chakra was significantly larger than without, the more Chakra injected, the greater the destructive power. Mokgetsu could only say it was another huge Chakra consumer.
Mokgetsu then proceeded with the next test. During his previous examinations, he inadvertently discovered a strong characteristic of the Six Paths Staff after injecting Chakra. To verify his idea, Mokgetsu created a Shadow Clone to assist with the test.
"Lighting Release: Pseudo-Darkness!"
The Shadow Clone gathered Chakra in its throat and spat a highly concentrated Thunder Spear at Mokgetsu.
Pseudo-Darkness has two attack modes: one is concentrated attack on a point, suitable when sure of hitting, the other is a wide-range sweep, which decreases power but increases coverage.
Since the main body was testing weapon strength, the Shadow Clone naturally chose the more powerful concentrated lightning mode.
Mokgetsu held the Six Paths Staff in his right hand, spinning and maneuvering it for a moment, then injected a large amount of Chakra into it and swiftly struck against the incoming lightning.
The originally formidable lightning deflated as soon as it hit the Six Paths Staff, dissipating directly under its strike.
Then, even the Armament utilized by the Shadow Clone, which consumed most of its Chakra, was directly broken under the impact of the Chakra-infused Six Paths Staff, causing the Shadow Clone to disappear into white smoke after being attacked.
"Isn't this Six Paths Staff possibly transformed from a Truth-Seeking Orb?" Mokgetsu pondered thoughtfully.
The greatest characteristic of the Truth-Seeking Orb is its ability to ignore ninjutsu, and the Six Paths Staff awarded by the system could also shatter ninjutsu, fitting this trait well.
But upon closer consideration, Mokgetsu felt something was off. If it were a Truth-Seeking Orb, upon contact, the Shadow Clone should have disappeared immediately, rather than needing his Chakra injection to achieve this effect.
For this reason, Mokgetsu specifically summoned another Shadow Clone to test it. Touching the Shadow Clone with the Six Paths Staff resulted in no reaction; without Chakra, the staff was just a ridiculously hard firewood stick without any special abilities.
Mokgetsu quickly moved past this concern. Whether or not it was transformed from a Truth-Seeking Orb didn't matter; the key point was that this Six Paths Staff was incredibly hard and strong, far surpassing a high-purity Chakra Blade.
The high-purity Chakra Blade only extended the blade, while the system-awarded Six Paths Staff with Chakra could directly disperse ninjutsu.
Mokgetsu believed the only problem with the Six Paths Staff was its design, which was too unique and not low-profile.
This thing looked exactly like the weapon from the passed-down images of the Six Paths Sage. If he were to fight with it and show extraordinary strength, rumors about the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage could likely arise.
Mokgetsu returned the Six Paths Staff to the system space; it was indeed a very powerful weapon worth anticipating for future possibilities, but it was challenging to find use for it right now.
His current strength was already not weak, and he could handle most ninjas without weapons, while for the remaining ones, aside from certain figures like the Third Raikage with Lighting Release Nin-Taijutsu, his own output was already sufficient.
Using Chakra to enhance the weapon was less practical than conserving Chakra for unexpected situations, as the Ninja World doesn't abide by the rules of a fair duel but accepts any means to kill the opponent.
After testing, Mokgetsu used Earth Release to level the ground. However, there was nothing he could do for the fallen trees. Currently lacking Wood Release, it's fortunate that the forest area was vast, and the trees consumed during his cultivation were just a drop in the ocean.
