At that moment, the light rapidly faded, revealing a light brown puppy with a large white tail in Kakashi's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi stared dumbfounded at the puppy in his arms, feeling as if his entire worldview as a ninja had been shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does a dog hatch from an egg? Aren't dogs mammals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why does this dog have so much fur right after being born? Shouldn't newborns only have a little bit of fluff?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kakashi's mind was full of questions; he didn't know if he had read too few books or the wrong ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the kind gaze, the Rockruff looked back at Kakashi with its blue pupils, the two locking eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was the first time seeing Kakashi, perhaps because Kakashi had been carrying the egg for a long time to incubate it, the Rockruff didn't find him unfamiliar and felt very亲近.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iwa!\" The Rockruff happily stuck out its tongue and licked Kakashi's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, Kakashi: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Kakashi would have dodged, but the shock of a dog hatching from an egg was too great, so he didn't react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of the ninja beast hatched by my best friend—the fur on its tail is the exact same color as yours!\" Might Guy dispersed the chakra at his fingertips and said while rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his relatively limited knowledge, Might Guy wasn't as shocked and only thought the white light was a bit abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi felt too drained to retort; the color of the ninja beast's fur had nothing to do with him—it was pure coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, did that dog just talk? It sounded like 'Iwa'? So ninja beasts can speak right after being born?\" Seeing Kakashi's summoning beast, Obito's mood instantly improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this summoning beast didn't look impressive at all; to Obito, it seemed like just a strange-looking little mutt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if there were eight more of this kind of summoning beast, they'd be no threat.\" Obito felt he could take on eight of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi gave Obito a speechless look. 'Right after being born,' my foot—whether human or beast, to speak, they have to learn; they can't just be born knowing how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in theory that was true, but in reality, Kakashi really had heard the dog in his arms say \"Iwa,\" even if it wasn't very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iwa! Iwa!\" The Rockruff barked happily and rubbed its head against Kakashi's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi looked thoughtful; the puppy in his arms didn't seem to be speaking—its bark was just different from a normal dog's. Normal dogs go \"woof,\" but this one went \"iwa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So cute!\" Rin clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the puppy in Kakashi's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls can never resist cute things, and the Rockruff now gave Rin the impression of being utterly adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, what's so cute about that? The white tail isn't even good-looking.\" Seeing Rin's attention completely on the puppy in Kakashi's arms, Obito muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that, regardless of age, people with white hair were not good people—like Kakashi, or like that Jiraiya who challenged Teacher Minato to a one-on-one fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And remembering that Senju Tobirama, who had tormented him for a while, also had white hair, Obito's prejudice against white hair deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if hearing someone speak ill of it, the Rockruff turned its head to look at Obito, its originally honest eyes becoming sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although with its current size, trying to glare only made it look cute, Obito inexplicably felt a pang of panic when their eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito quickly recovered and wanted to punch the Rockruff, asking it, \"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that glaring had no effect on Obito, and noticing the malicious expression on his face, the Rockruff instinctively shrank back into Kakashi's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a baby just one minute old, with hardly any combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obito, soften your expression—you're scaring the puppy,\" Rin said upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he wanted even more to punch that annoying white-tailed dog; Rin had never spoken to him like that before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a remarkable ninja beast—it's born with a rock on its neck. Is that part of its body?\" Shisui noticed the details of the Rockruff's physical features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui had been silent all this time, observing the Rockruff; simply put, it was a ninja beast born different from the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dog hatching from an egg, then emitting a white light—everything about it was unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi thought for a moment, reached out, and touched the Rockruff's neck. The hard, sharp feel of the prismatic stone transmitted back to Kakashi's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rockruff didn't resist, showing an expression of enjoyment as it slightly raised its dog head. Kakashi took the opportunity to scratch under the Rockruff's chin, making it squint with pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a stone.\" Kakashi looked at Shisui and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi also felt it was somewhat magical; he sensed this summoning beast might have significant origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the peculiar scene at birth, coupled with Mu Yue's earlier emphasis on its strong potential, Kakashi believed that once this summoning beast grew up, its strength would definitely not be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi's only doubt now was why Mu Yue hadn't mentioned information related to the summoning beast. Based on Mu Yue's performance, he should have known something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kakashi didn't dwell on it too much. After all, Mu Yue must have been thinking of them, with some profound meaning behind it that was hard for them to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Kakashi was actually wrong. There was no profound meaning; it was just that Mu Yue didn't know much either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue indeed knew quite a bit about Pokémon, but the system would localize all rewards from worlds outside Naruto, and Pokémon would certainly not be exactly the same as in the original world. So Mu Yue simply didn't say anything—if he didn't say, he wouldn't be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakashi, you should give it a name. Not having a name won't do,\" Rin suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi showed a thoughtful expression. Of course, names were important—otherwise, how would he normally address his summoning beast? He couldn't just call it \"dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since this dog keeps going 'rock rock rock,' why not just call it Rockruff?\" Obito was the first to offer his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although naming a dog with the word \"dog\" was a bit strange, Obito felt his naming was still well-founded, just with a little bit of personal sentiment mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My best friend's youth is so fervent right now—why not call it Youthful Dog!\" Might Guy laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up to the Rockruff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Rockruff couldn't appreciate Might Guy's naming aesthetic, showing a disgusted expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy's eyes widened in disbelief. This was a great name in the name of youth! How could anyone reject it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi simply pretended not to hear. Giving such a name to a summoning beast would not only shame the beast but also cause the contractor to lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people summon their beasts with \"Come out, Manda!\" or \"I'm counting on you, Gamabunta.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he would have to say, \"I choose you, Youthful Dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi thought that was even worse than Rockruff; at least his dog's bark really was \"rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the names suggested by Obito and Might Guy didn't sound great, they did ignite the naming atmosphere, and Rin immediately thought of several.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Sadaharu would be a pretty good name. But of course, it depends on your own idea, Kakashi. If you can't think of one, you could use flowers or plants—like Lily of the Valley, which I think is also okay,\" Rin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was Kakashi's summoning beast. Although she liked it, Rin wouldn't overstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi slightly nodded. Finally, someone came up with something reliable. Compared to Might Guy's and Obito's names, Rin's names were so normal they were abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal as they were, Kakashi wasn't very satisfied with the two names Rin provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they did sound nice and had some flavor, they had no connection to his summoning beast. They could work for any dog or even other types of pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about White Rock?\" Shisui, seeing the others had spoken, thought of one too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi's hair was white, the fur on the Rockruff's tail and neck was white, and the Rockruff's bark was \"rock,\" and it was born with rocks naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that these directly observable elements, even just simply combined or arranged, could be used for naming quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi instantly understood Shisui's point. This was the name he was most satisfied with, but he still felt it was lacking something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can't think of one, there's no rush. No one says you have to name it immediately,\" Mu Yue said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Obito to accidentally guess Rockruff's name correctly. But this was the Naruto world; generally, species names weren't used, and each ninja beast had its own name. So Mu Yue didn't say that \"Rockruff\" was a good name or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi agreed and nodded. Rather than hastily deciding on a name, it was better to take time to think carefully, because this was something that would accompany him for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I need to bring the ninja beast egg along for training too. Hatch a ninja beast that trains hard every day like me!\" Might Guy showed an enthusiastic expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really hatched a ninja beast that could train with him every day, Might Guy would personally modify his green tracksuit to create a sports tight suit that even a dog could wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue thought to himself that this was actually possible. Kakashi had hatched a Rock-type Rockruff, so it was highly likely that the Pokémon egg would also be related to the disciple's abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Might Guy's characteristics, it was highly probable that he would get a Fighting-type Pokémon, and a Fighting-type Pokémon training its body would be very normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time came, Might Guy could also have a satisfying fist-to-fist taijutsu fight with his own summoning beast, which would definitely be an experience few other ninjas could provide for Might Guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Mu Yue gave some guidance to his disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, Orochimaru suddenly called an emergency meeting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: I've been feeling quite mentally exhausted lately, but fortunately I'm almost done with my work. I've been writing until nearly 4 AM and I'm very sleepy. If there are any errors, just leave a comment on that paragraph, and I'll correct them when I see it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1867,"2026-05-29T09:09:18.753Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","a593c9a1fb1d5b580f7f71e2d33e813a54f6a96b4b87ff1685d7801b9857eabb","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-457","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-455",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
