“This ninjutsu’s difficulty lies in instantly compressing a large amount of chakra into the shape of a fire dragon,” Mu Yue explained while demonstrating and discussing the release techniques of ninjutsu with Zhi Shui. Recently, Mu Yue had just achieved proficient-level chakra transformation and took the opportunity to share many techniques regarding chakra transformation with Zhi Shui.
“I see; I think I understand a bit now,” Zhi Shui replied, nodding as he prepared to give it a try. His hands swiftly flew through the hand seals, chakra erupted within him, and then he compressed and shaped it.
“Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!” Zhi Shui shouted, unleashing a one-meter-high fire dragon that shot up into the sky, spun around once, and then plunged into the water.
Clap, clap.
Mu Yue smiled and applauded Zhi Shui, saying, “I thought it might take you several attempts to succeed; it seems I underestimated your talent.” Mu Yue was genuinely surprised. He hadn’t activated his Sharingan to replicate the technique, yet Zhi Shui had learned a B-rank ninjutsu so quickly. Is this the true value of a double S talent?
“It’s because of your excellent teaching, Teacher Mu Yue,” Zhi Shui humbly replied. He didn’t deny that he learned things a bit faster than ordinary people, but he genuinely felt that Mu Yue taught with sincerity and dedication.
Except for the first time when he was showing off and only used one seal, Mu Yue used complete hand seals during the rest of the demonstrations, slowing down the pace while explaining.
“And it can’t be said that I’ve mastered it yet; I can only use it,” Zhi Shui thought, recalling Mu Yue’s Great Dragon Fire. He felt that he was still far from mastering it, both in terms of the size and quantity of the fire dragon.
“Then I’ll demonstrate the Great Dragon Fire Technique for you a few more times until you learn it,” Mu Yue said with a smile. He was very pleased with Zhi Shui’s humility and diligence; seeing the chakra on the panel rise daily, he knew Zhi Shui hadn’t been idle at home.
Time always flies when one is serious. As Zhi Shui immersed himself in Mu Yue’s teaching, the sky gradually darkened. When Zhi Shui released the Great Dragon Fire, he noticed the flames were exceptionally bright, and only then did he realize it was almost dark.
A wonderful thought suddenly arose in his mind: could Teacher Mu Yue’s gentle voice be a kind of ninjutsu technique that makes one forget the passage of time?
“Teacher, I’m going home,” Zhi Shui said as he bid farewell to Mu Yue and prepared to leave.
“I’ve recently summarized my experience with chakra transformation as well; take a look when you get home,” Mu Yue said, taking out a small booklet and handing it to Zhi Shui.
Zhi Shui paused for a moment, then took the booklet from Mu Yue’s hands and bowed to thank him. Though he didn’t say much flattery out loud, he already respected Mu Yue even more in his heart.
He felt that Mu Yue was an excellent teacher. Even though they had only known each other for four days, Mu Yue had never held back, teaching him the more important things first and never keeping anything to himself.
Watching Zhi Shui’s departing figure, Mu Yue smiled, revealing a grin. It was no wonder he was his strongest gold mine; he had struck more good things again.
[You have gifted your disciple a chakra transformation training manual. Due to your disciple’s immense gratitude, you received a critical reward, obtaining the Wind Style: Pressure Damage (Proficient Level) ninjutsu.]
A wealth of techniques for using Wind Style: Pressure Damage appeared in Mu Yue’s mind, along with some knowledge about wind attribute chakra transformation. Mu Yue was very satisfied with this reward.
Wind Style: Pressure Damage was a powerful ninjutsu, considered top-tier among wind styles, with a large range and strong lethality, and it could interact with his fire style ninjutsu.
Moreover, the wind attribute transformation provided by the system would also benefit his development of the spiral sphere’s nature transformation. Originally, he had planned to develop the fire attribute chakra transformation for the spiral sphere himself, but with the wind available, he would certainly focus on developing it for the spiral shuriken first.
After a few days of exploration, Mu Yue had roughly figured out the mechanism of disciple returns. The rewards were influenced by two factors: the quality of what he gave and the level of gratitude from the disciple, with the latter carrying more weight.
The next day, he gave Zhi Shui a bunch of snacks, and the system rewarded him with ten shuriken. On the third day, he gifted Zhi Shui food he had made himself, and the system rewarded him with fifty chakra points.
It was all food, but the reward on the third day was noticeably better, clearly because the third gift had more “thoughtfulness,” which Zhi Shui appreciated more.
Having figured out the mechanism, Mu Yue began planning to give Zhi Shui a big reward. He intended to check Zhi Shui’s information at school the next day to find out when Zhi Shui’s birthday was.
……
On the fifth day of crossing into the Naruto world, Mu Yue originally had only one class today, but a third-grade teacher in the office had a matter and asked for someone to substitute. With such an opportunity to help others, Mu Yue naturally wouldn't let it pass.
He had two classes, earning twenty chakra points in one and the Great Fireball Technique in the other. This was also the first time Mu Yue had obtained a ninjutsu he already knew, but what surprised him was that the repeated ninjutsu system directly increased the training experience for that ninjutsu.
If it were a game, it should be a one-hit Great Fireball or a +1 Great Fireball enhancement.
“Teacher Yuhang, you’re too easy to talk to. With you saying that, other teachers will definitely ask you to substitute,” Ueda Ai said with some concern.
Mu Yue thought to himself that there was such a good thing; he liked it very much.
“We’re all colleagues; it’s no problem, and I really enjoy teaching students,” Mu Yue smiled.
Ueda Ai was momentarily at a loss for words because she could tell from Mu Yue’s expression that he genuinely meant what he said.
She felt it was quite dreamlike; did such good people really exist in the world? Substituting without extra pay was equivalent to working for free.
Time quickly approached the weekend.
The ninja school was similar to his previous life, with classes from Monday to Friday and weekends off.
As agreed, at eight in the morning, Mu Yue took Obito and Might Guy to the training place where he and Zhi Shui practiced to begin “special training.”
“Why do we have to get up so early on our day off?” Obito groaned as he lay on the desk Mu Yue had prepared in advance.
“Is it early? I think it’s fine,” Might Guy scratched his head, unable to empathize with Obito.
Mu Yue handed out the prepared test papers to the two of them. This was a test he had created himself according to their teaching progress, as they had only been in class for five days; he couldn’t just give them last year’s monthly test paper.
Moreover, for their situation, Mu Yue didn’t plan to have them tackle difficult problems; he just wanted them to grab the easy points and pass.
“Teacher Mu Yue, this is…”
Not long after, Zhi Shui, ready for training, arrived. He saw Obito and Guy, who were both looking tormented while doing the test, and his expression was quite puzzled.
“They are fourth-grade students; I’m tutoring them. You focus on your training; it won’t be a problem,” Mu Yue explained.
Zhi Shui coming over wasn’t a coincidence; he had called him last night.
As for the reason, Mu Yue thought it would be very interesting to see older students doing tedious tests while watching younger students training in ninjutsu.
