Shisui just did regular push-ups, while Might Guy did weighted push-ups with a stone on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, in the same amount of time, Might Guy completed more repetitions, and after Shisui was completely exhausted, Might Guy still had the energy to continue training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In pure taijutsu combat, Shisui wouldn’t lose to Might Guy—in fact, he might be better—but when it came to pure physical strength, he was far behind Might Guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Might Guy’s rest, Shisui couldn’t help asking, “Guy, you’ve been training like this for a long time, haven’t you? You can handle this huge amount of training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy nodded and replied, “I started even before entering the ninja academy. My father took me to train.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Might Guy’s words, Shisui felt a pang of melancholy and envy, because at that age, he no longer had parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui believed that if his parents had still been alive back then, they would have taught him ninja knowledge too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shisui, do you find it too exhausting to finish? I have a training secret—do you want to hear it?” Might Guy decided to share the training method his father had taught him with Shisui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the clan bond between Obito and Shisui, he and Shisui didn’t interact much, but after training and eating together regularly, Might Guy already considered Shisui a trustworthy comrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What secret?” Shisui became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Self-discipline. Treat completing these training targets as a challenge. If you fail the challenge, you accept punishment. For example, if you don’t finish three thousand push-ups on time, you punish yourself by doing five hundred more.” Might Guy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forcing yourself by putting shackles on yourself—that really is a good training method.” Shisui thought for a moment and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that Might Guy’s method was similar in principle to Muyue’s combat training exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui hadn’t expected that Might Guy, who seemed so rough around the edges, could come up with a way to motivate himself like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty good, right? My father taught me this. Every time I face a challenge that’s hard to complete, I use self-discipline.” Might Guy scratched his head and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then your father must be a very strong jonin.” Shisui praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could raise a son like Might Guy, Shisui thought his father couldn’t be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, he’s only a genin, but I think he’s amazing.” Might Guy laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was just a perennial genin, that didn’t stop Might Guy from believing in his father’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A genin …” Shisui looked a little surprised, and became even more curious about Might Guy’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Might Guy’s age, his father must have been at least twenty-eight, and thirty-something was normal. To still be a genin at that age was very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a chakra application technique related to taijutsu—let’s discuss it.” Shisui returned the favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the classroom of Class 1, Year 1 at the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That concludes the first installment of Ninjutsu Theory class. There are still two weeks until the final exams. Now, review well and prepare for the finals.” Muyue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, it could have been finished a week ago, but Muyue taught relatively quickly, so he left two weeks for review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Muyue, don’t forget my rice dumplings.” Anko spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you do well on the exam, the dumplings won’t be missing.” Muyue replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Muyue, I want snacks.” Kotetsu raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare well for the exam, and there will be rewards.\" Mu Yue said as she sorted the teaching materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring ring ring, the class bell soon rang, and along with it came the system message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lecture Complete]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Evaluation: A]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward obtained: Fire Release · Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue picked up the lesson plan and nodded inwardly; this was a moderately practical fire release ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having to review for two weeks—just thinking about it feels so tiring.\" Kotetsu complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then don't review. It's not like you weren't listening in class anyway.\" Izumo suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Kotetsu was unreliable, Izumo felt he had to find a girlfriend on his own. He had already found out that the girl next door was also attending the ninja academy, in Class 1-6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to get first place in the theory exam and then approach her as the top student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kotetsu scored a few points lower than him last time, their recent mock exams were almost identical. Izumo felt Kotetsu was a strong rival for first place, so he wanted to make Kotetsu give up reviewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not reviewing. That sounds good too. My senior cousin said sometimes not reviewing and facing the exam with a more relaxed attitude actually yields better results.\" Kotetsu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Kotetsu's first complaint was just a setup for this line; he wanted Izumo to give up reviewing so that he could take first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had boasted to Miharu that he would get first place in theory, and Izumo was his main rival for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, is that really true?\" Anko felt tempted; she thought reviewing for two weeks was too tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kotetsu and Izumo both nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shisui, do you usually review for exams?\" Anko asked Shisui behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui shook his head; he remembered everything from class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that even Shisui, the last theory exam's top scorer, said so, Anko's eyes lit up, feeling she really didn't need to review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's go out and play this weekend.\" Anko invited her two good friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I have something at home this weekend.\" Kotetsu shook his head. He didn't want to play; he only wanted to study and review to get first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you, Izumo?\" Anko looked at Izumo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izumo also shook his head and said, \"There's a lot going on at my house lately, I can't go either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally tricked them into not reviewing, he certainly had to stay home and study hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Then I'll find someone else to play with.\" Anko didn't suspect their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real competition had already begun off the field, and Anko was already out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1266,"2026-05-29T09:08:46.633Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","03d8273fc7dacfa807cd7d7da370455c7ee8dab8c7b1bfb24703b249d686c635","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-58","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-56",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
