Chapter 11: Small but Adorable

**[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]**

**[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]**

Seeing the trust levels both at two, Ryuto nodded secretly. It was worth the effort to disguise himself as prey to attract them.

Ryuto felt that trust levels were quite difficult to improve and required time. If it were at trust level one, the initial benefits would be significantly lower.

**[You have two disciples with potential of S or above, obtained skill: Teaching]**

**[Teaching: The knowledge you impart is easier to absorb]**

A very straightforward but powerful skill, enhancing the effectiveness of teaching.

Ryuto tried it out and found it was a passive skill that could be toggled on and off.

But for something with no downsides, Ryuto naturally chose to keep it on, unless one day Danzo noticed his teaching prowess and wanted him to teach at the Root, then he would turn it off.

The only disappointment for Ryuto was that the number of times he could receive feedback from disciples didn't increase with the number of disciples; it was still once a day.

He had hoped that cooking for Shisui could grant him 50 chakra each time, thinking that cooking for his three disciples daily would net him a guaranteed 150 chakra per day, which would be faster than teaching. But it turned out he was overthinking.

However, having three disciples meant that even with only one chance per day, it was better than having just one disciple.

Because human emotions have thresholds that increase with gradual stimulation, it becomes harder to be moved to gain large rewards.

With three disciples, they could take turns hitting the jackpot, increasing the frequency of big rewards and slowing the growth of the emotional threshold.

"And the current growth rate is still okay," Ryuto thought, glancing at his panel.

[Name: Yoshiro Ryuto]

[Age: 20]

[Chakra: 4405]

[Skills: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, Water Release: Water Formation Wall, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Teaching...]

Compared to when he first transmigrated, Ryuto's chakra had increased by 105 points. Ninety points came from teaching and disciple feedback, and the remaining fifteen points were from his own training and feedback from disciples' training.

This was the result of just five days, as most of Ryuto's rewards were various ninjutsu.

If Ryuto focused solely on chakra, teaching alone could net him 100 chakra per week, not counting disciple feedback.

However, Ryuto felt that at this stage, it was better to aim for more A-rank rewards or a mix of A and B-rank rewards.

The system's teaching rewards allowed him to learn ninjutsu directly, not just the basics but mastering them to the point of being battle-ready.

If he didn't have the nature for certain ninjutsu, the rewards would include nature transformation, and duplicates would increase proficiency, which was very considerate.

These ninjutsu would take significant time to master otherwise, and figuring out the training methods would be another issue.

But once he had a greater variety of techniques, Ryuto felt it was still essential to focus on increasing chakra since it's the foundation of a ninja.

"Teacher, I'm done!" Obito, eager to learn new ninjutsu, earnestly completed his test paper.

"I'm done too," Might Guy reported, not wanting to be left behind.

"Two of you..." Ryuto was grateful that this was the world of Naruto, where clone techniques were commonplace.

Ryuto created a shadow clone and said, "You go and explain the principles of the Leaf Whirlwind to Guy and demonstrate it a few times."

Since one was learning taijutsu and the other ninjutsu, Ryuto couldn't teach them together and had to use a shadow clone.

He planned to teach Obito ninjutsu himself while the clone taught Might Guy.

After half an hour, they would switch, with the clone teaching Obito and Ryuto teaching Might Guy.

Ryuto aimed to be a teacher for everyone, spreading his warmth to each disciple.

Just like he did with Shisui, Ryuto patiently broke down the explanations, practically teaching step by step.

**[You taught the disciple Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique. Due to the disciple's immense gratitude, you received a critical reward: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (proficient)]**

Ryuto pondered. He remembered teaching Shisui the Great Dragon Fire Technique before but didn't get a feedback reward then.

He speculated it might be because his Great Dragon Fire Technique was obtained from Shisui, and rewards couldn't be doubled from the same disciple for the same technique.

Ryuto noted this hidden rule.

"Hopefully, it's not the Water Dragon Bullet with 44 hand signs," Ryuto thought, recalling the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza.

While it looked cool in the anime, performing such a long sequence of hand signs in reality would be impractical unless someone was there to hold off the enemy.

The system's proficient level did not disappoint Ryuto; he only needed six hand signs. With practice, as proficiency increased, the hand signs could be further reduced.

After teaching Obito for half an hour, Ryuto switched to Might Guy, letting the clone take over with Obito.

Ryuto continued to guide all three, moving between them constantly.

By lunchtime, Ryuto personally caught four fish from the river and grilled them over a fire, serving one fish per person for lunch.

"This is delicious, Ryuto-sensei! You could definitely run a successful barbecue shop," Obito praised while eating.

Shisui and Might Guy nodded in agreement.

"Be careful not to swallow any bones," Ryuto smiled, shaking his head.

Was it delicious? Ryuto thought it was quite ordinary because he didn't have much skill in grilling, doing it rarely.

The pleasant atmosphere and novelty of eating grilled fish in the wild likely enhanced their perception of the taste.

Shisui probably rarely had the chance to eat with so many people, especially outdoors.

Obito usually ate with his grandmother, and Might Guy with his father.

This novel experience, combined with the good company, made the otherwise ordinary grilled fish seem delicious.

After resting for an hour post-lunch, Ryuto led them back to training.

"This jutsu isn't that hard after all," Obito said, feeling accomplished as he managed to produce a round and plump fire dragon, much smoother than his earlier attempts with the Great Fireball.

Coincidentally, Shisui was also practicing the Great Dragon Fire Technique and spewed out a fierce, snarling fire dragon.

Seeing Shisui's fearsome, toothy fire dragon, Obito quietly maneuvered his cute little fire dragon to hide behind him.

Might Guy, taking a break after performing countless whirlwind kicks, witnessed this scene.

Possibly because of their shared struggles in the morning, Might Guy walked over to console Obito, saying, "It's okay, your fire dragon is small but very cute. It will grow strong like Ryuto-sensei's eventually."

Though intended as comfort, Obito felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and annoyance.

This frustration reignited his determination, making him dive back into practicing the Great Dragon Fire Technique with renewed vigor.

Seeing Obito's renewed energy, Might Guy also quickly resumed his own training after a short rest.

"These two actually get along quite well," Ryuto, observing from the side, couldn't help but smile, finding an unexpected synergy between Obito and Might Guy.

Training continued until dinner time, after which Ryuto dismissed them, telling them to return the next day.

On Sunday, after a full day of training, Ryuto received 50 chakra points from disciple feedback.

A new week began...
