since Yusuke had beaten Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could probably beat him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was very likely to lose, he naturally had to do his best to suppress the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Kage losing was not a glorious thing, and Ōnoki had no intention of abdicating now—Iwagakure couldn't even find a single ninja who satisfied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right up until entering the Six Paths City, Ōnoki maintained a Transformation Jutsu disguise, and the Iwagakure Jōnin who came with him did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Six Paths City, Ōnoki didn't immediately go to find Yusuke; instead, he took a stroll around the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had always been paying attention to the matters of the Ninja Sect, this was his first time visiting the Six Paths City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the Tsuchikage—he couldn't just leave the village freely; he had to stay behind to maintain the village's stability and oversee the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Ninja Sect ninjas aren't panicked at all,\" Ōnoki observed with his peripheral vision the Ninja Sect ninjas going about their duties in the Six Paths City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't just sightseeing; he was gathering intelligence, confirming the atmosphere of the Six Paths City, and verifying the state of the Ninja Sect ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kurotsuchi, let's go find Yusuke.\" Ōnoki turned and said to Kurotsuchi standing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of secrecy, he brought only absolutely trustworthy ninjas—either veteran Iwagakure ANBU or Iwagakure Jōnin extremely familiar to Ōnoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi nodded, led a few Iwagakure Jōnin to a deserted place to dispel their Transformation Jutsu, then went to the Ninja Sect's office building to request an audience with Yusuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ōnoki would not negotiate with Yusuke directly; Kurotsuchi would convey his opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yusuke agreed, then they would choose a secluded spot outside the Six Paths City for a friendly spar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yusuke refused, then Ōnoki would act as if he had never come and lead his subordinates back to Iwagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi often acted as the Iwagakure representative in dealings with the Ninja Sect; the Ninja Sect ninjas were quite familiar with him, so he smoothly met Yusuke and stated the request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to have a friendly match with me...\" Mugetsu's Shadow Clone put on a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the friendly spar was a pretext; the real purpose was to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iwagakure's small moves outside the Land of Rain might fool the Ninja Sect, but Mugetsu was not only the leader of the Ninja Sect—he was also the Hokage of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Iwagakure's actions, Mugetsu felt that Iwagakure was somewhat wary of the Ninja Sect and planning to make a move, so they wanted to test the waters with a friendly spar before doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, let's meet at three in the afternoon outside the city.\" Mugetsu's Shadow Clone agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Mugetsu's Shadow Clone couldn't have agreed, or even if it did, it couldn't have fought on the same day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not now—the Unlimited Void technique far surpassed the Flying Thunder God Technique for long-distance travel; with it, he could quickly travel between two different countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ōnoki wanted information, he would show him the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ōnoki got scared and settled down, that would make the ninja world a bit cleaner; if Ōnoki wasn't scared and instead wanted to get rid of Mugetsu's alias even more, then Mugetsu hoped he would gather more allies—ideally letting him solve all problems at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to trouble you,\" Kurotsuchi thanked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No trouble at all—Iwagakure helped a lot when the Six Paths City was first built,\" Mugetsu said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi sighed without speaking, gave a slight bow to Mugetsu, and walked out of the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt somewhat ashamed inside—Iwagakure was plotting against the Ninja Sect, yet the Ninja Sect still remembered their past kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kurotsuchi was ultimately an Iwagakure ninja; no matter how ashamed he felt, he still had no intention of revealing any part of Iwagakure's plan to Yusuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps from a worldly moral standpoint they were in the wrong, but standing from the perspective of Iwagakure Village and the Land of Earth, they were not at fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had agreed to meet at three in the afternoon, Ōnoki arrived at the meeting point ten minutes early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Mugetsu also arrived at the meeting point at that same time, accompanied by a few Ninja Sect ninjas like Nagato and Yahiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ōnoki's side needed secrecy, Mugetsu brought very few people and specifically instructed them not to leak any information beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of the legendary Ninja Master—just looking from afar, you can feel the scholarly aura. Meeting is better than hearing the name,\" Ōnoki said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this spar was initiated by Iwagakure toward the Ninja Sect, so they had to maintain a good attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning hostile later was a matter for the future; for now, they still had to show the posture of allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Zi stood behind Mu Yue, watching Onoki who looked like a kindly old man, completely dumbfounded—when had this guy ever been so benevolent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget flattery, Lao Zi had never even seen Onoki give him a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm hardly a legendary ninja in front of a senior. When the name 'Two Scales' resounded across the ninja world, I was still a nobody.\" Mu Yue exchanged mutual flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew that old fox Onoki had no good intentions, Mu Yue didn't mind, because Onoki would soon get the lesson he deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, no wonder the ninjas who attended the Ninja Sect lectures kept raving about them. With such a silver tongue, I'd like to sit in on one of your classes myself.\" Onoki chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yusuke's words weren't flowery, coming from Yusuke himself, Onoki found them quite agreeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Zi was speechless—so you could actually talk nicely, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki noticed a somewhat strange look from one of the Ninja Sect ninjas, but didn't pay it much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, that ninja was named Shirakawa, primarily in charge of the Bird Country branch of the Ninja Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably held some position within the Ninja Sect, but had never really shown his strength—just an ordinary mid-to-high-level Ninja Sect member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki didn't take most of the Ninja Sect's mid-to-high-level members seriously; he thought they were just riding on Yusuke's coattails, and were actually inferior to the mid-to-high-level members of a small village like Kusagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then next time there's a lecture event, I'll invite you in the name of the Ninja Sect,\" Mu Yue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, next time for sure,\" Onoki replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the founding of the Ninja Sect, Yusuke had only held two lecture events, with intervals that weren't short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his plan went smoothly, the Ninja Sect wouldn't get a chance to hold another lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the mutual flattery temporarily ended, and both sides began preparing for combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kurotsuchi, you all fall back—watch out for the battle's shockwaves.\" Onoki's eyes were fixed on Yusuke as he warned the accompanying Iwa-nin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went all out with Dust Release, the range of its power would be incredible, and it could easily injure spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi and the other Iwa-nin jōnin all knew the terror of Onoki's Dust Release, and promptly retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, go for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi took a deep breath, quietly focusing chakra while staring intently at the battlefield, ready to use a jutsu to protect Onoki at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, before coming to the Ninja Sect, he had volunteered to replace Onoki in probing Yusuke's strength, but Onoki had refused on the grounds of insufficient skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi was a moderately strong ninja in the ninja world, but facing someone who had defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi, he wasn't qualified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Iwa-nin jōnin also didn't dare relax. Even though the Ninja Sect and Iwa were on friendly terms, accidents could always happen in a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better safe than sorry—if nothing happened, all was well; if something did, they could support Onoki immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had a choice, the Iwa-nin jōnin would rather support Yusuke, because that would mean Onoki was winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Nagato and the others also retreated backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue had brought only four people, among whom Nagato and Lao Zi had seen Mu Yue's fight with Hiruzen Sarutobi and knew how terrifying his strength was, while Yahiko and Konan hadn't witnessed it personally but had heard the accounts from onlookers, so they didn't dare be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sparring with Yusuke—this time you've kicked a chakra iron plate.\" Lao Zi looked at Onoki with a smug grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Zi couldn't say he hated Onoki, but he certainly wasn't happy with him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki wasn't the sole reason he left Iwagakure, but he was far more than just the last straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had a chance to see Onoki get beaten up, Lao Zi was naturally in a very good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yusuke hadn't told him to keep it secret, Lao Zi would have wanted to find a camera and snap a few pictures of Onoki getting pummeled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having seen with his own eyes how Hiruzen Sarutobi was crushed by Yusuke, Lao Zi could already imagine how badly Onoki would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent Onoki was about to face wasn't just strong—it was a kind of strength incomprehensible to ordinary ninjas, close to that of the God of Shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yahiko stared intently at the battlefield, shifting his gaze back and forth between the two standing figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a ninja, and after hearing the Ninja Sect ninjas excitedly describe how Yusuke had used powerful, mysterious means to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi, he couldn't help but be curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan crossed her fingers over her chest and silently prayed for Yusuke, hoping he could win the fight without getting hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard that the Tsuchikage wielded a Kekkei Tōta called Dust Release, a power that surpassed Kekkei Genkai, possessing terrifying destructive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagato's expression was as usual, calmly watching the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the one in the Ninja Sect who understood Muyue's strength best, knowing that there was no possibility of Muyue failing against Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Nagato felt that there was no need to trouble Muyue; perhaps he himself could defeat Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Muyue's guidance, his Yang Breathing had made great progress; in Muyue's words, after cultivating for a while longer, he would have hope of mastering the Yang Breathing Chakra Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Nagato had become increasingly proficient in using the Rinnegan, and now he could use all of the Rinnegan's basic abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: There's another chapter later, time not yet determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ju originally wanted to write it all in one go, but the full attendance threshold was reached, so he had to release a part first, otherwise he would lose the full attendance bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>",1857,"2026-05-29T09:09:37.253Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","22fc05f9d8dce7294596e335df41d9264813537c1891fbc3c8bba19ba2a04b54","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-629","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-627",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
