"Brother, how's the situation?"
"Not good. My despicable cousin actually threatened to tell Meihui, our neighbor, about me wetting the bed when I was three if I expose his secret!" Kotetsu gritted his teeth, bitterly denouncing his cousin's evil deed. How could their personal matters involve the neighbor's little Meihui and ruin his glorious image? Truly hateful!
"I have a plan. Using your advantage of being young and pretending to play, go to your cousin's house and mess up his room. Although you're the one who messed it up, if he doesn't clean it up in time, your cousin will definitely be the one in trouble. Do this a few times, and how dare he be so arrogant!"
Izumo Kamizuki thought for a moment and came up with another brilliant idea.
Kotetsu's eyes immediately lit up, stating that with Brother Izumo's strategizing, he would surely be invincible, just like the First Hokage with Tobirama's strategies. If successful, he would definitely treat him to snacks.
As soon as Muyue entered the classroom, he heard the conversation between these two "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Fledglings" and couldn't help but smile.
"Class begins!" Muyue walked to the podium and immediately started the lesson.
"Chakra is the prerequisite for us to perform ninjutsu, produced by the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy."
Most of the students below listened very attentively, as this was the most crucial fundamental knowledge. Muyue explained, occasionally personally releasing chakra for everyone to feel, and tried to intersperse jokes and short stories during his lecture to keep the class from being boring, supplementing it with questions to deepen their memory.
Soon, the four classes were about to end. Nearing dismissal, looking at Anko, who was laughing and asking questions incessantly, Muyue appraised her.
[Name: Anko Mitarashi]
[Potential: A]
Muyue thought for a moment and appraised all the students in the classroom.
[Name: Kotetsu Hagane]
[Potential: B-]
[Name: Izumo Kamizuki]
[Potential: B-]
Muyue was surprised to find that, excluding Shisui, there were only four students in the entire classroom who reached B-rank or higher. Besides Anko and the two "gatekeepers," only one student he didn't really remember also had B-rank potential. The rest were all C-rank, with some C+ and some C-, and even some D-rank.
Looking at it this way, Shisui's talent was too strong; he completely outshone everyone else.
Anko's potential also somewhat surprised Muyue. He remembered that Anko wasn't particularly strong in the original work, but her appraised potential was several levels higher than the two gatekeepers.
However, Muyue currently had no intention of taking Anko as a disciple. He couldn't take an unlimited number of disciples; currently, he only had four disciple slots, one of which was occupied by Shisui, leaving only three.
Although young Anko was very cute, Muyue thought, he himself was handsome, but what good was that? Would Danzo let him leave Root because of it? Clearly not.
[Lecture completed, settling rewards]
[Evaluation: A]
[Reward gained: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu]
"This ninjutsu is quite good, but unfortunately, it's not very useful to me right now," Muyue thought to himself.
As a ninjutsu used by the protagonist Naruto from beginning to end, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was naturally a very practical ninjutsu. If you had enough chakra, it was very useful for both combat and training.
However, what Muyue lacked right now was precisely chakra, so there was nothing he could do.
After dinner, Muyue walked into the office and found several teachers offering advice to Ikeya Yu, who was about to go on a blind date.
A tall, thin male teacher reminded him: "Before meeting, make sure to tidy yourself up well and dress formally. Don't let her think you're a slob."
"Sugito, you underestimate me. Even if I haven't been in a relationship, this is common sense, isn't it?" Ikeya Yu replied confidently.
"I think what you need to pay most attention to is not boasting like this when you're chatting," Aya Ueda said, shaking her head as if she had already foreseen the outcome.
"Ueda, just you wait and see," Ikeya Yu immediately retorted, seeing that Aya Ueda was underestimating him.
"Mmm, I'll wait and see." Aya Ueda responded perfunctorily. Noticing Muyue entering, she immediately struck up a conversation with him.
"Teacher Hanyu, you're amazing! I passed by your class today and took a look. The atmosphere felt great. I can't believe it's your first time teaching."
Muyue shook his head humbly and said, "Not at all, it's all thanks to your useful tips and the students being obedient."
Although she knew these were humble words, no one disliked being praised. A smile appeared on Aya Ueda's face, and she shared some of her snacks with Muyue.
Seeing this, Ikeya Yu immediately felt the sting of preferential treatment. He had been colleagues with Aya Ueda for two years and had rarely gotten any of her snacks.
Internally grumbling about Aya Ueda, Ikeya Yu quickly greeted Muyue. If this blind date succeeded, he would remember Muyue's favor for covering his class for a lifetime!
Muyue responded to everyone with a smile, and after chatting for a few moments, he picked up the brush and ink he had prepared beforehand and began practicing calligraphy.
Practicing calligraphy in his free time was one of his few good habits from his previous life, developed after taking calligraphy classes in university.
The lunch break at the ninja academy was short, so he didn't have time to find a place to cultivate.
When he felt it was almost time for class, Muyue tidied up and then headed to the classroom to prepare for the lesson.
Ding-a-ling~ As the bell rang, Muyue also happened to walk into the classroom of Class 4, Section 2.
"Huh, isn't today afternoon Teacher Ikeya's Konoha history class?" A student questioned, seeing that it wasn't Ikeya Yu who walked in.
"Teacher Ikeya has something to attend to this afternoon. I'll be teaching this afternoon's class," Muyue explained, walking to the podium.
No sooner had Muyue's words fallen than a hurried figure rushed into the classroom.
"Huff huff, sorry, teacher, I met an old lady on the way and helped her, that's why I'm late," Obito said, hands on his knees, panting heavily as he explained.
"Sit down and listen to the lesson," Muyue said, nodding. He then scanned the students and appraised all of them.
[Name: Rin Nohara]
[Chakra: 300]
[Potential: A-]
[Name: Might Guy]
[Chakra: 600]
[Potential: S]
[Evaluation: Suitable for cultivating taijutsu, recommended for discipleship]
[Name: Obito Uchiha]
[Chakra: 650]
[Potential: S]
[Evaluation: Six Paths bloodline, has space-time talent, recommended for discipleship]
Class 4, Section 2 was similar to his Class 1, Section 1. Besides these three familiar faces, only Uchiha Tekka had A-rank potential; the rest were basically C-rank or D-rank.
After reviewing their talents, Muyue asked about their lesson progress and then began teaching.
For students accustomed to teachers who merely read from textbooks, Muyue was a surprisingly pleasant surprise.
Obito even directly said, "Teacher Muyue, you teach so well, much better than the other teachers. If you keep teaching, I'm sure I'll pass."
"I'll tell Teacher Ikeya, along with the fact that you were late," Muyue said with a chuckle. He was different from the other teachers at the ninja academy; he had systematically learned how to be a teacher.
Obito's face immediately turned bitter, and he quickly begged for mercy. Teacher Ikeya was their homeroom teacher, after all.
Obito's contrasting behavior brought more cheer to the class.
During the long break, Muyue activated his Sensing Ninjutsu to confirm there were no issues, then called Might Guy and Obito outside.
