["Relationship established successfully. Current trust level: 2."]
["Relationship established successfully. Current trust level: 2."]
Hayate Mugetsu nodded to himself, satisfied. Both Obito and Guy had reached trust level two. All the effort he spent playing the part of harmless bait had paid off.
He noted that raising trust seed rather difficult—it clearly required ti and emotional cultivation. If they had only reached level one, the initial benefits wouldn't have been nearly as rewarding.
["You now have two disciples with S-rank or higher potential. Skill 'Professor' acquired."
Professor: The knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed.]
It was a straightforward and practical ability—simple in concept, yet extrely valuable. It passively increased the effectiveness of his teaching.
Mugetsu tried toggling the skill and confird it could be switched on or off at will. But since it had no drawbacks, there was no reason not to keep it active… unless, perhaps, soone like Danzo noticed his teaching prowess and tried to drag him into Root. In that case, he'd definitely turn it off without hesitation.
The only disappointnt was that his daily reward quota hadn't increased with the addition of more disciples. It was still just one reward per day.
Initially, he had thought: If cooking a simple dish for Shisui gave 50 Chakra, then preparing food for three disciples daily should yield at least 150 Chakra… But clearly, he'd been a little too optimistic.
Still, having three disciples was better than one. Even with the reward limit unchanged, emotional feedback from multiple sources slowed down the rise of the "emotional threshold," increasing the chances of triggering significant rewards.
Besides, Mugetsu mused, the current growth rate is solid.
He glanced at his system panel.
[Na: Hayate Mugetsu]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 4,405]
[Skills: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, Water Release: Water Formation Wall, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Professor…]
Since transmigrating, his Chakra had increased by 105 points. Of those, 90 ca from teaching classes and guiding disciples; the remaining 15 were from his own training and feedback triggered by his students' progress.
And this was just his progress over five days.
If he focused solely on Chakra, he could easily gain over 100 points per week from classes alone—not to ntion disciple-related bonuses.
But at this stage, Mugetsu preferred to focus on earning A-rank rewards, or at least a solid mix of A and B ranks.
After all, Ninjutsu obtained through the teaching system ca fully mastered—not just learned, but polished and ready for combat. If the technique involved a new Chakra Nature, the system even included Nature Transformation proficiency. And if he received a duplicate? It simply boosted his mastery further.
It was all too convenient.
If he had to develop these techniques manually, it would take an enormous amount of ti—not to ntion the trial-and-error required just to figure out training thods.
Once he'd accumulated a sufficient arsenal of techniques, he planned to switch focus toward Chakra developnt. After all, Chakra was a ninja's foundation.
"Teacher, I'm done!" Obito called out, eyes gleaming with anticipation. He had finished the test paper with 120% effort, eager to learn new Ninjutsu.
"I'm done too," Might Guy chid in, not wanting to fall behind.
Mugetsu glanced at the two of them and smiled. Good thing this is Konoha—where the Clone Technique is practically standard.
Forming a seal, he summoned a shadow clone.
"You'll go explain the principles of Leaf Whirlwind to Guy," he instructed the clone, "and demonstrate a few tis."
Since one was learning Taijutsu and the other Ninjutsu, he couldn't teach them simultaneously—so he simply divided the workload.
The main body would handle Obito's Ninjutsu instruction first, while the clone worked with Guy. After thirty minutes, they would switch roles.
Mugetsu had no intention of becoming a one-sided ntor. His warmth was ant for all his disciples.
Just as he had done with Shisui, Mugetsu explained each detail with patience and clarity—teaching them practically hand-in-hand.
["You taught your disciple Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique. Due to the disciple's extre gratitude, a critical reward was triggered—granting you Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Proficient)."]
Hayate Mugetsu fell into thought.
He rembered that he had also taught Shisui the Great Dragon Fire Technique before. So why hadn't it counted as a reward for teaching a disciple at the ti?
A theory ca to mind: perhaps it was because he had initially obtained the technique from Shisui. In other words, rewards triggered by a disciple's technique couldn't be recycled for further teaching rewards through that sa disciple.
He silently noted down this hidden rule.
"Please don't be the Water Dragon Bullet that requires forty-four hand signs…"
Mugetsu couldn't help but complain inwardly, recalling the iconic but impractical version Kakashi and Zabuza had used.
It might have looked flashy in the ani, but in real combat, a technique with so many hand signs was more of a liability—unless soone else was creating a distraction.
Thankfully, the system's Proficient version didn't disappoint. His version only required six hand signs, and with continued practice, that number could be reduced even further.
After teaching Obito for half an hour, Mugetsu switched over to Might Guy to give him pointers, while his clone continued instructing Obito.
Once both of them had completed their session, he moved on to guide Shisui, constantly rotating between the three.
Around noon, Mugetsu personally went down to the river and caught four fish. He built a fire and roasted them—one for each person—for lunch.
"This is so delicious, Mugetsu-sensei! If you opened a barbecue stall, you'd be rich in no ti," Obito said between bites, full of praise.
Shisui and Guy nodded in agreent.
"Careful not to swallow any bones," Mugetsu smiled, shaking his head.
Delicious? To him, the taste was average at best. He had little experience barbecuing, and even less skill. But he understood why they enjoyed it so much—atmosphere could enhance the simplest things.
Shisui usually ate alone. Sharing a al outdoors with others was probably rare for him.
Obito only dined with his grandmother, and Guy with his father.
Add the novelty of freshly grilled river fish, and even the plainest al beca sothing special.
After lunch, they rested for an hour before returning to training.
"Actually, this Ninjutsu isn't that hard after all!" Obito said proudly as he watched his round, slightly pudgy Fire Dragon form mid-air. It was much smoother than when he had first practiced the Great Fireball Technique.
Coincidentally, Shisui was also training at the sa ti, releasing his version of the Great Dragon Fire Technique.
His fire dragon was fierce and sharp-fanged, its form both majestic and imposing.
Obito glanced at his own adorable, chubby Fire Dragon and silently maneuvered it to hide behind him.
Might Guy, drenched in sweat from a long session of Leaf Whirlwind training, happened to catch the scene as he was about to take a break.
Perhaps rembering their shared frustrations from the morning, Guy walked over and said earnestly, "It's okay. Your fire dragon is small, but it's cute. One day, it'll be as strong as Mugetsu-sensei's."
Though the words were ant to comfort, Obito sohow felt a strange sting of frustration.
That feeling imdiately ignited a fire within him. Forget rest—he went straight back to practicing the Great Dragon Fire Technique with renewed determination.
Not to be outdone, Might Guy wiped his sweat, rested briefly, then quickly joined in again.
"These two are quite the pair…" Mugetsu chuckled to himself, barely restraining his amusent. Together, they're truly sothing else.
They continued training until evening.
When dinnerti ca, Mugetsu dismissed them and told them to return the next day.
On Sunday, the training resud as scheduled. The system rewarded Mugetsu with fifty Chakra for teaching his disciples.
And just like that… a new week began.
