Chapter 278: Is Obito a Training Maniac?

Ninja Academy Teacher: I Get Stronger by Teaching, Volume Chapter 196: Is Obito a Training Maniac? Shisui's Performance Shocks the Uchiha Present.

Hearing from others that Shisui learns ninjutsu quickly and is a genius, and actually seeing Shisui, who is not yet seven years old, defeat a chunin—these two things are not on the same level of impact.

In the Uchiha clan, not just anyone can be called a genius, because they have too many outstanding ninjas. Thus, the outside world has developed the impression that at least Uchiha members have no poor performance, so the mediocre Obito is called the "Uchiha loser."

The strength Shisui displayed made all the Uchiha present consider him a genius among geniuses.

"Shisui, with strength like yours, why haven't you graduated yet? The teachers at the school can no longer teach you useful knowledge." Uchiha Chihiro asked this question that puzzled him greatly.

If Shisui were even a genin, he would be more vigilant because of Obito's battle.

The other Uchiha, hearing Uchiha Chihiro's words, also looked at Shisui curiously. They were also curious why Shisui, with such strength, was still studying at the Ninja Academy.

"Graduating early allows you to manage your time more freely, and you can also join the Police Force to contribute to the clan." Uchiha Chihiro listed the benefits of graduating and becoming a ninja.

He genuinely felt that for Shisui, with his current strength, staying at the Ninja Academy was a waste of time.

"I think there is still some knowledge I need to learn at school. After all, I've only been in first grade, and combat isn't everything for a ninja." Shisui thought for a moment and replied.

He had previously considered skipping directly to graduation in first grade, but after asking Yue's opinion, he changed his mind.

"What's the point of learning all that theoretical knowledge? Strength is what matters most. If you had the power of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, you could become Hokage even without mastering any knowledge." Uchiha Chihiro advised with a pained expression.

He truly couldn't bear to see a genius like Shisui go astray, not seizing time to strengthen his power but wasting time at the Ninja Academy learning that knowledge.

"Chihiro is right. Shisui, don't pay too much attention to those theoretical lessons. Learning them is useless. Powerful ninjutsu and taijutsu are the right path." Uchiha Yoshitake said with agreement.

Uchiha Yoshitake had never cared about those so-called theoretical lessons when he was in school; he only listened in class and never wasted his time on that theoretical knowledge outside of class.

He felt those courses were meaningless. Knowing history changes nothing; learning difficult math won't make his ninjutsu stronger.

"Because I think just increasing strength won't save the Uchiha." Shisui really wanted to say this, and then have everyone learn more knowledge to increase their wisdom.

But Shisui knew this wasn't realistic, because he was only a Uchiha genius now, not a Uchiha powerhouse. Saying such things wouldn't gain recognition from others; they would just think it strange.

"Studying at the Ninja Academy, the precondition is that it doesn't hinder my strength growth." Shisui thought for a moment and explained.

Shisui's words left Uchiha Chihiro and Uchiha Yoshitake unable to refute, because Shisui was currently studying at the Ninja Academy and could still defeat a chunin.

The effect of displaying talent and strength was significant. The number of people coming to talk with Shisui suddenly increased.

While answering questions about training, Shisui also took the opportunity to ask about things he wanted to know.

"Strange looks from others on the street? Who cares what they think? They're probably jealous of the Uchiha's power." An Uchiha replied with a nonchalant expression.

"After all, we are the strongest clan in Konoha."

This answer left Shisui speechless, but he noted it in his heart.

"How do you get along with squad members after team assignment? Are you worried that you might not get along well with your teammates, Shisui?" The second Uchiha smiled.

"No one hates a powerful teammate. Just be yourself normally, and if you encounter someone you don't like, just ignore them."

Shisui nodded. This clansman was relatively normal.

Shisui's third exchange was with Uchiha Inabi. Shisui opened his mouth and asked:

"Senior Inabi, could you tell me about the work of the Police Force?"

The Police Force, as a department fully controlled by the Uchiha, matters of the Police Force are matters of the Uchiha.

"The work of the Police Force? Mainly it's about maintaining public order in the village and arresting those who violate the rules." Uchiha Inabi thought for a moment and said simply.

Uchiha Inabi might have felt his explanation was too brief, so he gave Shisui a few examples: setting up stalls where it's not allowed, brawling on the streets, and murderers harming villagers—all these fall under their jurisdiction.

"But major incidents are rare; most are minor matters. However, even minor matters must be handled seriously to establish authority, which makes subsequent actions easier." Uchiha Inabi imparted the experience he had learned from other Uchiha.

"So the work of the Police Force isn't easy." Shisui sighed. From small peddlers to murderers, the Police Force had to manage everything.

"It's okay. After all, the Police Force is made up of clan brothers; it's easy if you want to take it easy." Uchiha Inabi explained.

Shisui nodded, feeling that the current situation of the Uchiha was strongly correlated with the Police Force.

It was only natural for a single clan to independently control such a powerful department, making others wary of them. After all, even the once-powerful Senju did not monopolize a single department.

What worried Shisui was that the Uchiha seemed to take this for granted, believing that the powerful Uchiha should solely control the Police Force.

Shisui tried to communicate with as many Uchiha as possible to collect their views. After summarizing the information a bit, he found a good news and a bad news.

【】

The good news was that the young Uchiha weren't the extremists he had imagined; none of them were thinking of overthrowing Konoha and becoming Hokage themselves.

The bad news, however, was that the Uchiha greatly liked the Police Force, which was composed entirely of their own clansmen, and even took pride in it.

Beyond that, there were some minor issues: most Uchiha didn't care about outsiders, and their concern for strength far exceeded everything else.

When the exchange meeting ended, Obito and Shisui were stopped by Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yashiro.

"Uncle Fugaku, is there something else?" Shisui, who was more familiar with Uchiha Fugaku, asked directly.

Right now, he just wanted to go home, organize all the information thoroughly, and then go train with Muyue.

Uchiha Fugaku put on a smile, gestured for them to sit down, and then said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you both."

"Shisui, when do you plan to graduate and become a ninja?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

The Ninja Academy had a special early graduation exam, which was harder than the regular graduation exam, designed for geniuses like Shisui.

So in Fugaku's eyes, Shisui could become a ninja whenever he wanted.

Shisui answered Fugaku with the same words he had used to answer Uchiha Chihiro.

"I see. At your current age, it's fine to stay in the Academy a while longer." Uchiha Fugaku smiled and nodded, not contradicting Shisui's words.

"Shisui, you have exceptional ninja talent. In my opinion, your talent even surpasses that of Captain Kagami. Just now when I saw you fight, I subconsciously recalled Captain Kagami in his prime." Uchiha Fugaku praised.

Fugaku's words strengthened Shisui's inner conviction: he wanted to accomplish what his grandfather had failed to achieve.

"Uncle Yashiro, are you about to hand out a high-level Fire Style jutsu?" Obito looked at Uchiha Yashiro expectantly.

He had attended the exchange meeting for nothing but the rewards.

Uchiha Yashiro couldn't help but smile at Obito's earnest expression; it was the first time someone had asked him so directly for a high-level Fire Style.

"The clan naturally won't be stingy with a genius like you. There certainly is a Fire Style jutsu." Uchiha Yashiro said with a smile.

"I'm glad you took my words to heart, training hard and maintaining your momentum of improvement."

Obito scratched his head and tried to recall, but couldn't remember what Uchiha Yashiro had said to him.

"Never mind, I'll just get the Fire Style jutsu first." Obito nodded solemnly, so as not to affect the reward.

"With your strength, passing the Chunin Exam is no problem. You should become a chunin as soon as possible, and the clan can directly assign you to the Police Force after you apply." Uchiha Yashiro continued.

Given Obito's current strength, becoming a chunin through the Chunin Exam was the fastest way to enter the Police Force.

"Then you can learn from many senior clansmen, and I'll also teach you all the Fire Style I know." Uchiha Yashiro listed the benefits of joining the Police Force.

"I don't want to join the Police Force. I prefer to take missions outside the village and abroad." Obito shook his head. There was no problem with becoming a chunin, but he didn't want to go to the Police Force.

Uchiha Yashiro was stunned; it was also his first time seeing an Uchiha reject his invitation to the Police Force.

Uchiha Yashiro explained some benefits of the Police Force: all colleagues were clan brothers, the path to promotion was smooth, and there was great authority.

Listening to Uchiha Yashiro's complicated talk, Obito felt overwhelmed and quickly said he was only interested in improving his strength, steering the topic back to jutsu.

"So he's the type who devotes himself to training." Uchiha Yashiro deduced Obito's personality and stopped pressing about the Police Force.

Whether or not he joined the Police Force, Obito was a ninja of the Uchiha clan, and that couldn't be changed.

"How about the Great Dragon Fire Technique? It's well-suited for you at this stage." Uchiha Yashiro thought for a moment and said.

"Ah, I already know the Great Dragon Fire Technique. Is there another jutsu?" Obito hoped to swap.

Uchiha Yashiro fell into thought. There were certainly high-level Fire Style jutsu, but that one was temporarily unsuitable for Obito.

"I'll have to think about this. Once I've decided on the reward, I'll deliver it to your home." Uchiha Yashiro said; he needed to discuss it with Uchiha Fugaku.

Obito nodded. Although he didn't know what jutsu it would be, he had at least secured a reward.

Since Shisui had to organize information, Obito went alone to the Southern Forest to train. Thinking that Kakashi had trained hard for several hours while he was at the exchange meeting, Obito couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When Obito saw Kakashi doing Total Concentration Breathing exercises, he immediately joined the training; they didn't rest and eat until one o'clock.

"I have to go out for a while. You train on your own first." Muyue said.

Teacher Chen's appointment with him was at two o'clock this afternoon, and it was almost time.

"Is it about the Ninja Academy?" Obito asked curiously. The Ninja Academy was about to start the semester.

"No, it's to go and have an exchange with Teacher Chen." Mu Yue shook her head in reply, leaving the miscellaneous affairs at the ninja school to be handled by her shadow clone.

"Teacher Chen? That's Guy's instructor?" Obito had some impression of that name, because it had caused him to be mocked by Kakashi for being ignorant.

"Can I come along?" Obito wanted to go and take a look at what the strongest taijutsu in Konoha looked like.

At this moment, Obito's mind had already conjured up a terrifying muscular man with a height of two meters and an explosion of muscles.

Mu Yue thought it over, nodded in agreement. It wasn't a big deal.
