Chapter 11: Small but cute

Relationship established successfully, current trust level two.

Relationship established successfully, current trust level two.

Muzuki secretly nodded, seeing that both trust levels were at two. It was worth him going to great lengths to disguise himself as prey to lure them in.

Muzuki felt that the trust level was quite difficult to raise; it probably required time to grind. If the trust level was one, then the early benefits would be much lower.

You have two disciples with potential of S or above, skill gained: Teaching.

Teaching: The knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed.

This was a very simple and direct skill, yet also very powerful, as it increased the effectiveness of lecturing and teaching.

Muzuki tried it out and found that it was a passive skill that could be toggled on and off.

However, for something without drawbacks, Muzuki naturally chose to keep it on, unless Danzo one day saw how well he taught and asked him to teach at Root, then he would definitely turn it off.

The only thing that disappointed Muzuki was that the number of disciple return rewards did not increase with the addition of disciples; it was still one chance per day.

He had thought that just making some food for Shisui had yielded fifty Chakra, so if he made food for three disciples every day, he would gain a minimum of one hundred fifty Chakra per day, which would be much faster than grinding classes. However, he had thought too much.

However, with three disciples, even if there was still only one chance, it was better than having just one person.

Because human emotions have a threshold, under gradual stimulation, the threshold will slowly increase, making it less likely to trigger big rewards.

With three people, they could take turns triggering rewards, not only increasing the number of big rewards but also slowing down the growth of the emotional threshold.

“Moreover, the current growth rate is also decent,” Muzuki thought to himself, glancing at his panel.

Name: Hayate Mugetsu.

Age: 18.

Chakra: 4405.

Skills: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, Water Release: Water Formation Wall, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Teaching…

Compared to when he first transmigrated, Muzuki had increased his Chakra by a total of one hundred five points, ninety of which came from classes and disciple return rewards, and the remaining fifteen points were from his own training and disciple-to-master returns.

This was only Muzuki’s achievement in five days, as most of Muzuki’s rewards were various Ninjutsu.

If Muzuki focused entirely on Chakra, he would gain at least one hundred Chakra per week just from classes, not including disciple return rewards or anything else.

But Muzuki felt that at this stage, it was better to focus on A-rank rewards or a fifty-fifty split between A and B.

The Ninjutsu rewarded by the system’s lectures were directly learned, and not just initially learned, but fully mastered, ready for combat.

If it was a Ninjutsu of an attribute he hadn’t mastered, it would even come with Nature Transformation, and if he drew a duplicate, it would increase experience, which was incredibly thoughtful.

If he had to spend time practicing those Ninjutsu, it would consume a considerable amount of time, and figuring out how to cultivate them would also be a problem.

However, once he had mastered more techniques, Muzuki felt that he should focus more on Chakra, as Chakra was the foundation of a Ninja after all.

“Teacher, I’m done!” Obito, eager to learn new Ninjutsu, put in one hundred twenty percent effort and completed his test paper.

“I’m done too,” Might Guy reported, not to be outdone.

“Two people, huh…” Muzuki was glad that this was Konoha, where the Clone Technique was a common sight.

Muzuki created a Shadow Clone and said, “You go explain the principle of Leaf Whirlwind to Might Guy first, then demonstrate it a few times.”

Since one of them was learning Taijutsu and the other Ninjutsu, Muzuki couldn’t teach them together, so he had to create a Shadow Clone.

He planned to have his main body teach Obito Ninjutsu first, while the clone explained to Might Guy.

After teaching for half an hour, they would switch, with the main body teaching Might Guy and the clone teaching Obito.

Muzuki would not be a confidant teacher to just one person; he wanted to share his warmth with every disciple.

Muzuki, just like when he taught Shisui, meticulously broke down and explained everything, practically teaching them hand-in-hand.

You taught your disciple Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique. Due to your disciple’s immense gratitude, the reward was a critical hit, granting you Ninjutsu Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Proficient).

Muzuki fell into thought. He remembered teaching Shisui the Great Dragon Fire Technique as well, so why wasn’t that counted as a disciple return reward then?

He thought of a possible reason: his Great Dragon Fire Technique was gained from Shisui, so perhaps rewards gained from the same disciple could not be used for disciple returns to generate further rewards.

Muzuki silently noted this hidden rule.

“It better not be that Water Dragon Bullet with forty-four hand seals,” Muzuki couldn’t help but inwardly complain, remembering Kakashi and Zabuza’s Water Dragon Bullet.

Such hand seal sequences might look cool in anime, but in reality, Ninjutsu requiring so many seals were usually difficult to perform unless someone else was helping to distract the opponent.

The system’s proficient level did not disappoint Muzuki; he only needed six hand seals, and with continued practice, the more proficient he became, the further the hand seals could be simplified.

After teaching Obito for half an hour, Muzuki went to Might Guy to give him pointers, sending the Shadow Clone to teach Obito.

After teaching both of them, he would also go to give pointers to Shisui, constantly moving between the three.

At noon, Muzuki personally caught four fish from the river, then made a fire to roast them, one for each of them, as lunch.

“It’s so delicious, Muzuki-sensei, if you opened a barbecue shop, your business would definitely be great!” Obito praised as he ate.

Shisui and Might Guy nodded in agreement.

“Be careful, everyone, don’t swallow any fish bones,” Muzuki said with a smile, shaking his head.

Delicious? Muzuki thought it should be quite ordinary, as he truly had no barbecue skills and rarely barbecued.

The reason it tasted good was partly due to the pleasant atmosphere enhancing their senses.

Shisui usually ate alone at home, so he probably rarely ate with so many people, especially outdoors.

Obito usually ate with his grandmother, and Might Guy with his father.

Coupled with the novelty of not having eaten this kind of grilled fish much before, under various enhancements, the originally ordinary grilled fish became delicious.

After eating and resting for an hour, Muzuki took the three of them to continue their training.

“Actually, this Ninjutsu isn’t that difficult after all,” Obito said, full of a sense of accomplishment as he looked at the round, chubby Fire Dragon he had released. This was much smoother than when he had practiced the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique before.

Coincidentally, Shisui was also practicing the Great Dragon Fire Technique and exhaled a Fire Dragon.

Looking at Shisui’s ferocious, fanged, and imposing Fire Dragon, Obito silently controlled his cute Fire Dragon to hide behind him.

Might Guy, who had kicked countless Leaf Whirlwinds, wiped his sweat and was about to stop to rest when he happened to see this scene.

Perhaps it was due to their shared experience that morning, Might Guy walked over and comforted him, “It’s okay, the Fire Dragon is small and cute. It will become as strong as Muzuki-sensei eventually.”

Although it was meant as comfort, for some reason, Obito felt a strange sense of grievance that made him very uncomfortable.

This feeling of grievance instantly re-energized Obito, who had been planning to rest, and he immediately continued to practice the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.

Seeing Obito’s drive, Might Guy, not wanting to be left behind, rested for a moment and quickly resumed his training as well.

“These two are quite compatible,” Muzuki, who had been watching from the side, almost couldn’t hold back. He found that Obito and Might Guy together were truly something else.

After training until dinner time, Muzuki sent them each back to their homes, while also informing them to continue tomorrow.

On Sunday, they trained for another full day, and the disciple return yielded fifty points of Chakra.

Then, a new week began…
