"Night, this is Lord Danzo's latest instruction." A ninja from the Root organization handed a scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue nodded as he accepted the scroll; "Night" was his codename within the Root.

The two exchanged little conversation. After handing the scroll to Mu Yue, the Root ninja quickly vanished. Mu Yue was considered a pawn of the Root; excessive contact could attract the attention of the Anbu.

Before the Root ninja left, Mu Yue conducted an assessment.

【Name: Uchiha Shisui】

【Potential: B】

【Chakra: 7000】

【Evaluation: A jonin with some strength】

Seeing the impressive 7000 chakra, Mu Yue couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy; he didn't even have 5000, falling short by five or six years compared to Shisui.

Once he could no longer sense the Root ninja with his sensory ninjutsu, Mu Yue entered the room and opened the scroll to check the latest orders issued by Danzo.

"Pay attention to Uchiha Shisui in your class; he is a genius of the Uchiha clan. Monitor his actions, confirm his character, and conduct an assessment."

After reading this, Mu Yue felt a sense of melancholy; Danzo's wariness of the Uchiha was almost pathological.

Shisui was only six years old this year, just starting at the ninja academy.

For such a young child, simply possessing a bit of talent within his clan warranted Danzo's scrutiny and evaluation.

Of course, it wasn't out of the question that Danzo had ulterior motives regarding Shisui, wanting to recruit him into the Root.

However, Mu Yue didn't believe Danzo's plans would come to fruition; the Third Hokage would ensure Danzo knew who truly held power as Hokage.

The Third could tolerate the existence of the Root organization but would not allow one that was excessively powerful.

A genius Uchiha had too high a ceiling; who knew how far he could grow?

Therefore, a genius Uchiha should either stay honestly within the Uchiha clan or join the Anbu.

After reading, Mu Yue used Fire Release to destroy the scroll.

This new instruction was still within Mu Yue's acceptable range; even if Danzo hadn't specifically sent someone, Mu Yue would report that Shisui was a genius during his briefings.

Mu Yue felt that given Danzo's focus on the Uchiha, keeping things hidden was pointless and would only draw attention to himself.

Mu Yue created a shadow clone to practice ninjutsu while he began to enhance his chakra.

Currently, chakra was his biggest shortcoming; no matter how many ninjutsu he learned or how skilled he became, without sufficient chakra, it would be difficult to unleash their full power.

Ninjas with low chakra have limited strength, while those with abundant chakra, even if weak, cannot be considered weak; it can be said that chakra determines the upper and lower limits of a ninja.

……

The next day.

Since he had no classes that morning, Mu Yue took the opportunity to visit the resource room at the ninja school.

He needed to organize the exam papers from the past few years for fourth grade; the process went smoothly, and he casually found the first-grade papers as well.

His main purpose was to take in apprentices, but improving the theoretical scores of the two was not an empty claim.

Mu Yue researched and found that the exam questions each year were quite similar, with each question being of a specific type, just changed in wording or data; some papers even had identical questions.

Mu Yue nodded, feeling confident about their passing.

He felt there was no need for excessive practice; just letting the two do last year's papers should ensure they pass without issue.

After taking a few papers, Mu Yue left the resource room and headed to the office.

"She was obviously very interested in me; she kept listening to what I was saying yesterday!"

"Isn't there a possibility that she simply didn't want to talk to you?"

"When we paid yesterday, she even suggested splitting the bill, clearly thinking of me!"

"Isn't there a chance she's afraid you'll use the excuse of treating her to ask her out again?"

As Mu Yue entered the office, he saw Ueda Aya confronting Iketani Yu.

Mu Yue glanced at Kimura Sugi, who was watching the show.

"Wasn't Yu on a blind date yesterday? He was just sharing his experience and wanted us to help him with some ideas on pursuing her, but Ueda thinks his date isn't interested in him and advises him to look for the next one," Kimura Sugi briefly explained the situation.

"Teacher Yuhane, you're just in time! Do you have any special techniques for pursuing girls?" Iketani Yu, seeing Mu Yue arrive, quickly asked without bothering to argue with Ueda Aya.

He thought Mu Yue looked like someone who had a lot of girlfriends.

"I think as long as you let the other person feel your sincerity, that should be enough," Mu Yue replied after thinking for a moment.

Whether there are techniques is another matter; Mu Yue wouldn't tell Iketani Yu, as that didn't fit the persona he wanted to portray.

"Sincerity..." Iketani Yu showed a troubled expression; how could he make the other person feel that?

"Give it up, Iketani. You should look at what Teacher Yuhane looks like; the techniques that work for him might not work for you," Ueda Aya said with a sigh.

"How is that possible? I admit Teacher Yuhane is indeed a bit more handsome than me, but it's not that different, right?" Iketani Yu protested.

"You really won't turn back until you hit a wall," Ueda Aya said, looking at the stubborn Iketani Yu with a bit of a headache.

Being a woman herself, she should understand women; after hearing Iketani Yu's words, she knew this blind date was a waste, but Iketani Yu stubbornly refused to believe it.

"Good luck," Mu Yue smiled and encouraged him; what else could he say? Even Ueda Aya, as a friend, couldn't sway him.

Moreover, Mu Yue actually hoped Iketani Yu would be busy; that way, he could go substitute teach in Class 4-2 again.

"Teacher Mu Yue really has a good eye; Ueda, just wait and see," Iketani Yu, encouraged by Mu Yue, felt more confident.

During the afternoon class, Mu Yue made a small attempt; he intentionally lowered the quality of his teaching.

From the previous system evaluations, he inferred that teaching evaluations should be divided into two main parts: one for the quality of the lecture content and the other for student satisfaction.

He wanted to achieve a B-level evaluation because receiving an A for the first time came with an additional reward.

Likewise, receiving a B for the first time should also come with an extra reward.

【Lecture completed, calculating results】

【Evaluation: B】

【Reward: Chakra +20】

【First time completing a teaching rated B, reward—mastery of chakra transformation.】

A wealth of memories regarding his chakra transformation training instantly flooded Mu Yue's mind.

Mu Yue was somewhat surprised; in the chakra system, transformation can exist alongside nature transformation, with both effectively enhancing ninjutsu.

Although he had only mastered transformation and had not reached proficiency, it wasn’t limited by chakra attributes.

Speaking of transformation, one must mention Naruto's Rasengan, a quintessential example of transformation ninjutsu, which possesses immense power without needing to incorporate nature transformation.

"I can start developing the Rasengan now." Mu Yue planned to independently develop this useful A-rank ninjutsu, and with the detailed training process from the original work, combined with his knowledge of transformation, the process shouldn't be too difficult.

The chakra gained from the B-level evaluation also added another layer of consideration for Mu Yue regarding future classes; he felt he could appropriately aim for some B-level evaluations in the future, as the rewards might be small individually but would accumulate over time.

Adding the development of the Rasengan to his schedule, Mu Yue realized his life felt exceptionally fulfilling right now.

During the day, he attended classes, in the evening, he guided Shisui, and at night, he practiced developing ninjutsu. On weekends, he trained Might Guy and Obito, filling his schedule to the brim.

Mu Yue wanted to maintain this peaceful life, steadily developing for a few years.

Unfortunately, he hadn't crossed over at a good time, and it was destined to be difficult to enjoy quiet days.

Just four days after Mu Yue crossed into the ninja world, unsettling news returned from the frontlines to Konoha.
