Chapter 28: Training Mission (Please Follow)

Monday, in Classroom 1-1 of the Ninja Academy.

It was not yet time for class, and only half the students were in the classroom.

"Kotetsu, when are you going to introduce me to that cute girl you mentioned before?" Kamizuki Izumo couldn't help asking Hagane Kotetsu.

Hagane Kotetsu locked Kamizuki Izumo's neck in a headlock and said fiercely:

"You have the nerve to ask me to set you up with girls? Last time, you pretended to do badly on the exam, but you actually did really well. Betraying your buddy is fun, huh?"

Kamizuki Izumo loudly protested his innocence, saying that time was an accident, he just got a bit lucky, and he was only five points higher than Hagane Kotetsu anyway.

Hagane Kotetsu then let go of Kamizuki Izumo, but also said it would be a bit difficult to introduce any girls.

Because recently, his hateful older cousin had spilled some embarrassing things about him to Mihui, so he currently couldn't face her without shame.

"How can there be such a traitor, a rebel, a villain!" Kamizuki Izumo wore an indignant expression.

"You're exaggerating way too much." Anko next to them teased.

"And why do you need to get to know girls? Am I not a girl?" Anko asked in confusion.

Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu both fell silent, exchanged glances for a moment, and finally Izumo spoke:

"Anko, this is hard to explain, but just know that we're bros."

Girls? If Anko hadn't said it, Kamizuki Izumo would have truly forgotten that Anko was a girl.

But what girl would stand on a desk and shout at the whole class? Anko's behavior was more boyish than either of them, so how could Kamizuki Izumo think of Anko as a girl?

At that moment, Muyue walked in.

"Hanyu-sensei, do you think I look like a girl?" Anko asked directly.

Muyue smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, you're a very cute girl."

Setting aside her words and actions, little Anko was still a cute girl.

Hearing Muyue's response, Anko was very happy and made a funny face at Hagane Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo.

Kamizuki Izumo, Hagane Kotetsu:...

What girl would directly ask that kind of question, and then make a funny face afterwards?

Soon, the morning's ninjutsu theory class ended.

【Lecture Completed】

【Evaluation: A】

【Reward Received: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death】

Muyue's mind was immediately filled with the learning memory and usage techniques for this B-rank illusion.

"Another illusion. Now I'll have two illusions to teach Shisui." Muyue nodded to himself inwardly.

Besides this Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, he had previously obtained a Hell Viewing Technique through lecturing.

Tree Binding Death's effect is to make the opponent experience an illusion of being entangled by trees, unable to move their body but with a clear mind, generally used for interrogation to obtain information.

The Hell Viewing Technique, on the other hand, makes the target see the scene they fear the most in their heart.

There were originally no classes in the afternoon, but the teacher of Class 6, Year 4 asked him to substitute. In Class 6, Year 4, Muyue discovered two ninja who appeared in the story, but unfortunately their talent was not high.

【Name: Shiranui Genma】

【Potential: B+】

【Name: Ebisu】

【Potential: B-】

This time he taught a ninjutsu class. Because it was a special period, the fourth-year students were already a graduating class, so Muyue mainly taught the Clone Technique, which was usually tested on the graduation exam.

"So what they said was true, this Hanyu-sensei really knows how to teach."

"So the clones that are split off don't have that kind of problem? Good thing the ninjutsu teacher was sick today, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten to attend Hanyu-sensei's class."

"Can I transfer to Hanyu-sensei's class? If I were taught by this kind of teacher every day, how could I worry about not mastering these three basic ninjutsu?"

"I'm afraid that won't work—it seems Teacher Hanyu only has one first-year class…"

Having systematically studied how to become a teacher, with the support of his teaching skills and a vast amount of ninja knowledge in his mind, the gap in Mu Yue's teaching quality compared to ordinary chunin instructors was now clearly perceptible.

The students of Class 4-6 finally understood why the classes Mu Yue had taught before held him in such high esteem; he really was impressive.

The students' abundant praise did not make Mu Yue feel complacent.

Because he knew there were multiple reasons for this, among which a major one was that the educational environment of the Ninja Academy was somewhat abnormal.

What kind of ninja would actually come to the Ninja Academy to become a teacher?

Mu Yue did not know what the situation would be in the future, nor what it had been in the past, but in the current Ninja Academy, only ninjas who felt their strength could only go so far would become teachers.

A teacher's salary was enough to live comfortably in Konoha, but it fell far short of supporting a ninja's training to become stronger.

Thus, this led to Ninja Academy teachers generally having average strength and lacking ambition.

If they had ambition, they would have been grinding missions and training hard to make money long ago, and wouldn't become Ninja Academy teachers.

Such teachers, except for those with a strong sense of responsibility, would hardly take teaching seriously; most were just coasting through the days.

Mu Yue had reason to believe that Konoha's higher-ups were also aware of the Academy's situation—perhaps they had even considered it at the time of its founding—which was why team leaders existed.

After graduation, students underwent small-group re-education.

However, this didn't have much to do with Mu Yue; after all, he was just a small teacher, and he could only ensure his own teaching quality.

【Lecture completed】

【Rating: A】

【Reward obtained: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique】

Mu Yue found that he had quite the connection with the Great Fireball—this was the third time he had obtained it.

Feeling the training memories constantly flooding into his mind, Mu Yue sensed that his Great Fireball should have reached the system's proficient level.

…

After school, Mu Yue and his disciples gathered at the usual training spot.

"Mu Yue-sensei, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request of mine. Please, you must accept it!"

Before training even started, Obito ran straight to Mu Yue as soon as he arrived, clasped his hands together, and bowed to make his request.

"How can I agree when you haven't even told me what your request is?" Mu Yue replied. For a moment he had no idea what Obito was up to.

"I want to ask you, Sensei, to teach me an impressive Fire Release jutsu so I can win first place in the Youth Ninjutsu Tournament!" Obito stated his request.

Actually, Obito had participated in this tournament before. He had thought that with his mastery of the Great Fireball he could easily take first place, but he never expected to run into the super prodigy Kakashi and end up losing the championship.

Recently, Obito saw the tournament being promoted again and decided to invite Kakashi to compete together, so the two could settle the score.

However, Obito was quite uncertain—although the Fire Dragon Technique was practical, it lacked visual impact, and his so-called Great Fireball, which was really just a small fireball, was even worse.

But that didn't matter—Obito trusted Mu Yue's strength.

【Disciple Uchiha Obito has set a training mission】

【Training mission: Win first place in the Youth Ninjutsu Tournament】

【Reward: Based on mission completion and strength increase during the mission】

Three message windows appeared on Mu Yue's system panel.

Everyone rest assured, updates will remain stable, just as usual.
