I feel like your final match will be exciting,\" Rin said with a smile, interlacing her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen how hard both Obito and Kakashi worked every day; no matter who won, she would be happy for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, looking forward to it!\" Yamato nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few months of school, getting used to the students' clumsy fights, watching battles between ninjas of Kakashi and Might Guy's level was a real pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get your hopes up on your own, or it'll be embarrassing if I lose badly,\" Kakashi sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, actually, I'm not looking forward to it at all,\" Yamato immediately changed his tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not even a little? That's really sad—so I'm not in your heart as your senior, huh,\" Kakashi sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what was he supposed to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a nice day. Feels like a good time for ramen. If someone treated me to a bowl, maybe my mood would improve,\" Kakashi looked up at the sky and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll treat you later,\" Yamato said reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he wasn't a ninja, Yamato couldn't earn money by completing missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only income now was the living allowance Mu Yue gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue actually gave quite a lot, but Yamato was too embarrassed to take it all, only taking a portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That portion was enough for him to live on, and if he was frugal, he could even buy some snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his senior's good mood, he could forgo snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi's eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled, patting Yamato's shoulder. \"As expected, Yamato, you're my cutest junior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Yamato's turn to look glum. He just hoped Kakashi would choose a reasonably priced ramen shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin looked at Yamato with pity—what an innocent kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be karma: future Yamato bullies Kakashi, Kakashi bullies the current Yamato, and then grown-up Yamato travels back in time to bully little Kakashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Mu Yue had finished treating Obito, Rin walked over beside him, slightly bent her knees, smiled, and reached out her hand to Obito, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, you're one step closer to your goal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Obito was still immersed in the thrilling fight just now. Hearing Rin's voice, he instinctively looked up and met her gaze, momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the slight upward curve of Rin's eyes, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and her eyes shimmering with lively light, like two pools of spring water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obito, what's wrong? Are you okay?\" Rin waved her hand and asked with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warm,\" Obito answered instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight filtering through the treetops fell on Rin, flickering on her shoulders, making her seem to glow—a warm light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Obito feel warm all over, even a bit hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the smile on Rin's face gradually turn to confusion, Obito realized what he had said. Blushing slightly, he quickly grabbed Rin's hand and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I meant I'm fine,\" Obito corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't push yourself. If you feel unwell, tell me,\" Rin said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm,\" Obito nodded, then quickly walked over and sat down next to Kakashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's stop here for today. The last match will be held tomorrow,\" Mu Yue announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his protection, none of the disciples were seriously injured, but their energy and spirit had been greatly consumed, needing time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Obito and the others had nothing else to do, so there was no rush to finish the ranking matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi and Obito both nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito wanted to defeat Kakashi at his peak, feeling it would be more rewarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi didn't mind having more time to think about tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ranking battles were over for now, but no one left Minami Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in good condition had already begun training, while those who couldn't train chatted or asked Mu Yue for advice on training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around noon, Mu Yue left for business, and the disciples also needed to have lunch, so they dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go with this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi casually picked a ramen shop that looked decent in the shopping district and walked in with Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato's first sight upon entering was the menu posted on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vegetable ramen 65 ryo, pork bone ramen 60 ryo...\" Yamato breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; he could afford these prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe Kakashi-senpai has been to this shop before and came here knowing it's cheap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato felt a little touched and showed a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a large bowl of special miso pork ramen,\" Kakashi called out to the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato's expression stiffened; this noodle was the most expensive one in the shop, 80 ryo a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and add an extra egg,\" Kakashi added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crack appeared in Yamato's small feeling of gratitude; an extra egg cost 5 ryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yamato, what will you have?\" Kakashi turned and asked Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato glanced at the rice that cost only 15 ryo, but finally replied, \"I'll have a plate of fried noodles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating plain white rice at noon seemed a bit strange; fried noodles, though 25 ryo more expensive than rice, were still appropriate for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Yamato tremblingly took 125 ryo from his small wallet and handed it to the ramen shop owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His monthly living allowance was 2,000 ryo, and this single meal cost 125 ryo; it really pained him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yamato's conflicted face, Kakashi's lips curled slightly — there was a price to pay for hitting him on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you busy later?\" Kakashi asked Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not busy,\" Yamato replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to watch the seniors' internal battles, he had turned down all invitations from classmates and friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then come with me to the ninja tool shop. I need to restock some tools,\" Kakashi continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato instinctively shielded his small wallet behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't ask you to pay for the tools. What can you buy with your little money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato's anxious heart settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could Kakashi-senpai be planning to buy tools for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato nodded in agreement with great anticipation and went with Kakashi to the ninja tool shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Yamato came out of the ninja tool shop carrying a large bag with black lines on his forehead; it turned out he was supposed to help carry the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yamato delivered the items to Kakashi's house, he said goodbye with a straight face, \"Kakashi-senpai, I'm heading back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, take this as a tip for helping carry the stuff.\" Kakashi took out 250 ryo and handed it to Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he actually spend the money of a kid who had no ability to earn? He was just messing with Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato showed a stunned expression, then it turned into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi-senpai really did take special care of him after all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Minami Forest, Mu Yue went to the conference room of the Hokage Building to attend a high-level meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ninja Sect's attitude is strange now. They are very tough; even with Rain Shinobi Village added, we can barely scrape together 2,000 ninja,\" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Orochimaru's negotiation mission failed, Sarutobi Hiruzen had mobilized a large amount of intelligence resources to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Ninja Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not only investigated the Land of Rain, but even small countries like the Land of Birds where the Ninja Sect's shinobi were active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Hiruzen Sarutobi investigated, the more he felt the Ninja Sect was using feints, because he couldn't find their real trump card at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't just rely on Sosuke, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke definitely had strength—he could defeat Hanzo with Fire Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a single strong person couldn't change the tide of battle, unless that strong person was named Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Konoha went to war with the Ninja Sect, Sosuke's best outcome would be to escape alone relying on his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha wasn't afraid of Sosuke fleeing and then retaliating either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the foundation of a great ninja village—Konoha had too many secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sosuke dared to retaliate, Hiruzen Sarutobi could gather an elite team to surround and kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe they're gambling that we'll play it safe and not start a large war right now,\" Koharu Utatane analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Utatane had to admit the Ninja Sect had gambled correctly. Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts were unknown, but she truly didn't want another war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To safely eliminate the Ninja Sect would require at least assembling a force of over 1,500 shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this period, such a large-scale movement would be hard to hide from the other four great ninja villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Iwagakure, not giving up on its ambitions, is secretly supporting the Ninja Sect?\" Koharu Utatane said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered that Iwagakure had cooperated with the Ninja Sect; perhaps the Ninja Sect was a puppet Iwa had specially backed to annoy Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That probably shouldn't be the case. If the Ninja Sect and Iwagakure were on the same side, there's no reason the Ninja Sect wouldn't have come during the final battle in the Land of Grass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Koharu Utatane start spinning conspiracy theories, Mugetsu stepped forward to say a word for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying it or not didn't matter much anyway, mainly because he had nothing better to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mugetsu is right. Overall, the Ninja Sect is still a neutral force,\" Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one reason he only wanted Sosuke dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi actually didn't dislike the Ninja Sect. If Sosuke had killed a jonin instead of Danzo Shimura, he would have let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, reality didn't have ifs. Whether for Konoha's face or personal vendetta, this matter couldn't be easily dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alternatively, we could throw out the 'Madara Uchiha' matter, say we found new clues and started a new investigation, and then deal with this when the time is right,\" Homura Mitokado said after thinking it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way Konoha's face would be saved, and it would be convenient to act later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think staying silent and not responding for now is fine. After these years of war, no one in the shinobi world is unaware of Konoha's strength,\" Koharu Utatane said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, the number of commissions entrusted to Konoha had skyrocketed—commissions from all over the shinobi world were flooding in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, \"This matter is too important; it must be resolved quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change the negotiation terms to a duel. After the fight, regardless of the outcome, Konoha will not pursue the Ninja Sect for responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A duel to kill Sosuke? His strength isn't weak. Who will we send?\" Homura Mitokado frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke was famous; even sending the Sannin, the probability of completing the mission was very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me,\" Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sosuke's track record, the Sannin were unsuitable; it had to be him or Mugetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane both froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, don't be impulsive. You are the Hokage; your every move affects the whole village. How can you leave the village to fight for such a matter?\" Homura Mitokado quickly tried to dissuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so hot-headed as to prepare to go himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand your feelings. I also want revenge for Danzo, but revenge can't be done rashly. How about we gather our shinobi force and attack the Ninja Sect?\" Koharu Utatane added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi personally fighting Sosuke, Koharu Utatane thought gathering the shinobi force wasn't a bad idea either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled. \"Why worry so much? Which ninja in the shinobi world dares to claim they can definitely beat me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he wasn't as impulsive as his two advisors thought; this was a method Hiruzen Sarutobi had come up with after careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't require mobilizing troops for war, and it would allow him to fully leverage his own strength advantage and personally avenge Danzo Shimura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as a Hokage, this kind of behavior was indeed somewhat capricious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Sarutobi Hiruzen was very grateful to Mu Yue; it was Mu Yue who gave him the capital to be capricious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Mu Yue around, Konoha's rise was inevitable, and would not change because of an accident to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there was his confidence in his own strength—he was a Ninjutsu Professor who had mastered over a thousand ninjutsu and secret techniques, and in his life he had defeated countless geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Hokage, this is inappropriate.\" Mu Yue also tried to dissuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sarutobi Hiruzen really challenged him, he would only suffer a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's kindness to him had many reasons, kindness was kindness, and Mu Yue didn't want to cause trouble for Sarutobi Hiruzen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of you need to persuade me. My mind is made up.\" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered the final words Shimura Danzo had entrusted to Mu Yue, and remembered Shimura Danzo's dying expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shimura Danzo had indeed made many mistakes, but his ultimate goal had always been to protect Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to let go of Sosuke, who killed Shimura Danzo, nor did he want to affect Konoha's development plans, so for him to act personally became the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, you can't be so arbitrary!\" Mitokado Homura said, somewhat anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. If you're dissatisfied, we can continue to discuss it. There's no need to be so radical. How about sending Mu Yue?\" Utatane Koharu chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the Hokage, my authority is absolute! There is no need for further discussion on this matter.\" Sarutobi Hiruzen said imposingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had called this meeting to give Mitokado Homura and the others a notification, not to truly discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly walked out of the meeting room and returned to the Hokage's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in his office chair, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was indeed so capricious that he himself felt somewhat unfamiliar; even at eighteen he had never been this impulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was the bright future of Konoha, visible to the naked eye, that gave him confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden door to the Hokage's office sounded, and the advisors knocked before entering, continuing their earnest persuasion: \"Hiruzen, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was because Konoha had forever lost an assistant who entered the Hokage's office without knocking. :sjwx→\u003C\u002Fp>",2436,"2026-05-29T09:09:37.253Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","424bc717a57a69c56a8300929df739ec0beb79f5934632a6ee4aac03f73d4496","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-606","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-604",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
