No sooner had Muyue submitted his report than a Root ninja silently arrived in his courtyard the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Lord Danzo's order.\" The Root ninja handed two scrolls to Muyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue nodded and accepted the scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue first opened the scroll containing the mission assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, the Root ninja didn't waste words; after delivering the items, he left directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing that the Root ninja's presence had vanished, Muyue went inside the house to examine the scroll's contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mostly the same as before; the beginning was motivational material praising Muyue for completing the mission well and not letting the organization's training go to waste, but then saying he needed to keep working hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue focused on reading the later part carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo answered Muyue's previous question about whether to recruit Asuma into Root—the answer was no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo indicated that Muyue only needed to teach Asuma normally and become an important teacher to him; there was no need to do anything else superfluous, and he especially warned Muyue not to reveal anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer was pretty much what Muyue had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling Asuma into Root was like Danzo sitting in the Hokage's office, waiting for the moment when \"I, the Hokage, will make you regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Danzo's Root organization was not weak in strength, its current power was entirely dependent on sapping nutrients from ANBU. For the true Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would be too easy to control Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, he needed to keep a close watch on the Uchiha students, evaluate them for any anti-Konoha tendencies, and watch for geniuses that could be absorbed into Root…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other scroll, it contained several high-grade secret medicines that were difficult to procure, given as a reward for Muyue's excellent mission completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue put away the scroll with the secret medicines and burned the other scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, even a stable life has become a luxury…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue swept up the ashes and dumped them into the trash can, gazing apathetically into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of life, where he woke up in the morning to find a fully armed ninja standing in his yard, made him very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Muyue had no choice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered whether to directly reveal his strength while teaching Asuma, letting Sarutobi see his value, and then switch allegiances to the Third Hokage, which would solve the curse mark problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea was quickly rejected by Muyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could switch sides by being appreciated by Sarutobi, but not by exposing his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know his specific strength or the jutsu he had learned; as long as he didn't reveal jutsu like Water Severing Wave, he could basically explain it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Danzo's side was different; the original Muyue was raised by Danzo and knew too much information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he switched sides by exposing his strength, Danzo might well tell the Third about Muyue's information and then treat him as a spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue believed there were only three situations in which he could reveal his strength: first, if Danzo was planning to use him as disposable material, then he would reveal his strength and find a chance to slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, when his strength reached the level of the Sannin, he could act during wartime and provide timely aid to Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if no one knew where this strength came from, Muyue would only become a hero, not a spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, when he had the power to overthrow Konoha, then it wouldn't matter whether he revealed it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue adjusted his expression, went to the Ninja Academy, and walked into the office and then the classroom with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he didn't have enough strength, it was better to be a gentle, warm-hearted guy that everyone liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Saturday, Obito went to the training ground early and began training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a piece of ice the size of a palm, placed it on his hand, and began nature transformation training by gathering chakra in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten seconds, the ice disappeared; the puddle of water on the ground was proof of its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyue nodded from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six days ago, Obito's melting speed couldn't even match the natural melting speed of the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training to this level in six days was beyond expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had never imagined that he would obtain the Chef skill, nor had he expected that this life skill would prove useful in nature transformation training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to advance to this level in such a short time, Mapo Tofu deserves a lot of the credit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've already grasped the basics of nature transformation. Next is to keep increasing your maximum output.\" Mu Yue said as he directly took out a human-head-sized block of ice from a wooden tub and placed it on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your next goal is to melt this block of ice within ten seconds.\" Mu Yue announced the next stage of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? That's way too big.\" Obito scratched his head looking at the human-head-sized block of ice—this was a huge jump in difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time we're pushing the limit of instantaneous nature transformation output. Don't worry about chakra consumption; go all out. Rest when you're tired, and when you've rested enough, keep training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stage just takes time to grind through. Unless you have vitality and chakra like Naruto, who can recklessly split off a huge number of Shadow Clones to gain experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not comparable to a cheater like Naruto, but compared to ordinary people, Obito was already in a good spot—after all, skill teaching had some use, plus the special cooking boosted his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it approached noon, Mu Yue had the three disciples stop their training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're probably tired of eating pretty much the same dishes every day. Today we're having hot pot.\" Mu Yue said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the skill buff, the students might enjoy eating one dish repeatedly, but Mu Yue was aiming for higher trust, so he had to do better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great! Finally don't have to eat that super spicy tofu anymore.\" Obito jumped up excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Mapo Tofu wasn't delicious, but eating it every day made going to the bathroom extremely painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've only prepared the broth base. As for the ingredients, it depends on what you three can find.\" Mu Yue continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to eat fish!\" Obito said, then pulled out a kunai and jogged to the riverbank, ready to spear fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me help you!\" The enthusiastic Might Guy, upon hearing Obito wanted fish, sprinted a hundred meters and dove straight into the water, sending up a huge spray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito, who was looking for a chance to spear fish, got drenched from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guy!\" Obito's fist clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Might Guy surfaced holding two fish, looking at Obito with a puzzled expression and asking, \"Obito, were you calling me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I was just saying you're such a good buddy, truly a great brother.\" Obito, seeing the two fresh fish in Might Guy's hands, instantly changed his expression and praised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui dug up some wild vegetables and mushrooms in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them also worked together to kill a wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy attracted its attention, Shisui led the attack, Obito assisted—together the three took down the wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue first boiled the broth base, then processed the ingredients they brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He split off several Shadow Clones to divide the work and quickly process the ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, only the boar and fish were a bit troublesome; the wild vegetables and mushrooms were just washed, cut in half, and put straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't even start a fire—Mu Yue directly had Obito put his hand underneath as a human heater, treating it as part of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the master and three disciples just used whatever was available in the forest and settled lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was no overly complicated process and the ingredients were foraged on the spot, not even as tasty as Mu Yue's directly cooked dishes, Shisui ate happily, feeling very warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a feeling he rarely experienced after losing both parents at a very young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's trust level has increased. Current trust level: three]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up a piece of fish from the pot and eating it, Mu Yue also revealed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-05-29T09:08:46.633Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","ead28a2292f2a0af75bf12b4c85c4c8555511e23154301ceba1865b41c3ee6a9","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-42","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-40",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
