Chapter 261: Gold Coin Bonanza

"The difficulty of this ninjutsu lies in instantly compressing a large amount of chakra into the shape of a fire dragon." Mu Yue demonstrated while explaining the release technique to Shisui.

Since Mu Yue had recently attained proficient-level chakra shape transformation, he took the opportunity to share many insights on chakra shape manipulation with Shisui.

"I see. I think I understand a bit now." Shisui nodded, ready to give it a try.

Shisui's hands swiftly danced through hand seals, his chakra erupted, then compressed and shaped.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

Shisui opened his mouth and spat out a fire dragon about one meter tall, which shot into the sky, spun once, and then plunged into the water.

Clap, clap.

Mu Yue smiled and applauded Shisui, saying:

"I thought you might need a few tries to succeed. It seems I underestimated your talent."

Mu Yue was genuinely surprised. Without even using the Sharingan to copy it, Shisui had learned a B-rank ninjutsu in one go—was this the value of double S-rank talent?

"It's because you teach well, Master Mu Yue," Shisui said humbly.

He didn't deny that he learned things a bit faster than ordinary people, but he truly felt that Mu Yue taught earnestly and effectively.

Except for the first demonstration—when Mu Yue used only a single seal to show off—all other demonstrations included complete hand seals, slowed down with explanations.

"Besides, I can't say I've mastered it yet. I can only use it for now." Thinking of Mu Yue's Great Fire Dragon, Shisui felt he still had a long way to go; he was far behind in both the size and number of fire dragons.

"Then let me demonstrate the mastered Great Fire Dragon Technique a few more times for you." Mu Yue smiled.

He was very satisfied with Shisui's humility and diligence. Watching his chakra steadily increase on the panel every day, Mu Yue knew Shisui hadn't been idle at home either.

Time always flew when one was focused. As Shisui immersed himself in Mu Yue's teaching, the sky had quietly darkened.

When Shisui released the Great Fire Dragon, he noticed the flames were unusually bright and realized it was almost dark.

A curious thought crossed his mind: Could Master Mu Yue's gentle voice be some kind of ninjutsu technique, one that made people lose track of time?

"Master, I need to go home." Shisui said goodbye to Mu Yue and prepared to leave.

"I've recently compiled my experiences in training chakra shape transformation. Take this and read it when you get home." Mu Yue handed a small booklet to Shisui.

Shisui paused momentarily, then took the booklet from Mu Yue and bowed in thanks.

Although he didn't say many flowery words, Shisui's respect for Mu Yue had grown even deeper.

He felt that Mu Yue was an excellent teacher. Even though they had only known each other as master and disciple for four days, Mu Yue never held anything back. In fact, the more important the knowledge, the sooner he taught it, never keeping secrets.

Watching Shisui's retreating figure, Mu Yue curled his lips into a smile. As expected of his greatest gold mine—it had yielded something good again.

【You gifted your disciple a shape transformation training manual. Due to the disciple's deep gratitude, the reward critically struck. You obtained the ninjutsu Wind Release: Pressure Damage.】

A vast amount of techniques and usage methods for Wind Release: Pressure Damage instantly flooded Mu Yue's mind, along with some knowledge of wind-nature chakra transformation.

Mu Yue was very satisfied with this reward.

Wind Release: Pressure Damage was a powerful ninjutsu, among the top-tier wind techniques. It had a wide range and high destructive power, and it could also synergize with his fire release.

Moreover, the wind-nature transformation granted by the system helped him in developing the nature transformation of the Rasengan.

Originally, he had planned to develop the fire-nature transformation for the Rasengan himself. But since wind was available, he would naturally prioritize developing it toward the Rasenshuriken.

After a few days of experimentation, Mu Yue had roughly figured out the mechanism of the disciple reward system.

The reward was influenced by two factors: the quality of the gift he gave, and the level of the disciple's gratitude toward the gift. The latter factor carried more weight.

On the second day, he gave Shisui a skewer of snacks, and the system gave him ten shuriken.

On the third day, he gave Shisui food he had personally made, and the system gave him fifty units of chakra.

Both were food, but the reward on the third day was noticeably better—clearly because the third day's gift carried more "heart," and Shisui liked it more.

Now that he understood the mechanism, Mu Yue began planning for a big drop from Shisui. He decided to check Shisui's records at the academy tomorrow to find out his birthday.

Day five of being transported to the Naruto world.

Today, Mu Yue had only one class scheduled, but a teacher in the third-year office had something come up and asked for a substitute. With such an opportunity to help others, Mu Yue naturally wouldn't pass it up.

Two classes, one gave him twenty chakra, and the other gave him the Fireball Jutsu.

This was Mu Yue's first time obtaining a jutsu he already knew, but what surprised him was that the system for duplicate jutsu directly increased the experience for that jutsu.

If it were a game, his would be a one-life Fireball Jutsu, or a strengthened plus-one Fireball Jutsu.

"Hanyu-sensei, you're too easy-going. If you're like this, other teachers will definitely ask you to substitute for them," Ueda Aya said with some worry.

Mu Yue thought to himself, "There are good things like this? Then he'd love it."

"We're all colleagues, it's fine. Besides, I really enjoy teaching students," Mu Yue said with a smile.

Ueda Aya didn't know what to say for a moment, because looking at Mu Yue's expression, she felt that he genuinely meant it.

She felt it was surreal—did such a good person really exist in the world? Substituting without extra pay was essentially working for free.

Time quickly arrived at the weekend.

The ninja academy was similar to his previous life—school from Monday to Friday, with weekends off.

Because of the previous agreement, at eight in the morning, Mu Yue brought Obito and Might Gai to the place where he and Shisui trained, and started a "special training."

"Why do I have to get up so early on a day off?" Obito wailed as he lay on the desk that Mu Yue had prepared in advance.

"Early? I think it's fine," Might Gai said, scratching his head, unable to empathize with Obito.

Mu Yue handed the pre-prepared test papers to the two of them. He had made these papers himself according to their teaching progress; after all, they had only had five days of class, so he couldn't just give them last month's exam paper.

Moreover, given their situation, Mu Yue didn't plan to have them tackle difficult problems—just getting the easy points would be enough, and passing was sufficient.

"Mu Yue-sensei, what are these…?"

Not long after, Shisui, who was preparing to train, also arrived. Seeing Obito and Gai struggling with the test papers, he looked very puzzled.

"They're fourth-year students, and I'm tutoring them. You go ahead and train; it won't interfere," Mu Yue explained.

Shisui's arrival was not a coincidence; Mu Yue had called him last night.

As for the purpose, Mu Yue felt that having higher-grade students doing boring test papers while watching lower-grade junior students training ninjutsu would be quite an interesting scene.
