8 Letting You Observe, Not Letting You Surpass

Hayate Gekko...

Information about him floated up in Kyōichi's mind.

Hayate, swordsmanship runs in the family.

Poor health.

However.

In Kyōichi's memories from his previous life, there was much more in-depth information.

Expert in escape techniques, suspected to have tuberculosis.

There were no anti-tuberculosis medicines in this era. Hayate Gekko had lung disease since he was young, and he practiced escape techniques and swordsmanship, no wonder he died young later on.

Kyōichi frowned.

To the Hayate family, he was just an outsider. And even if he intervened, what could he do?

He didn't know medical ninjutsu, and likewise didn't understand medicines.

He couldn't do anything.

For an illness like this, without effective medicine, there was only one person in Konoha who could treat it -

Tsunade.

However, the current Tsunade was elusive, wanting to find her would require staking out various places, the difficulty was too high.

Good students bring up bad students, Kyōichi didn't even need to make a move himself.

The children of the shinobi world were so sensible!

He could just relax.

Before class, he left a shadow clone at home to practice swordsmanship.

He was too tired to endure it later.

The teachers in the office were even more exasperated.

This...

Wasn't this way of teaching misleading the children?

But.

The weird thing was, the kids were all very happy, and were extremely proactive.

How strange!

Could self-study really be better than what the teachers taught?

It was confusing.

They had wanted to secretly observe, but now, they could only say Kyōichi's teaching made it hard for them to understand much.

After class.

Kyōichi looked at the system, and couldn't help but be happy.

[You mobilized the students' autonomy, and most students gained insights.]

[Evaluation: Good]

[Reward: Increased proficiency in the Body Flicker Technique]

Kyōichi's Body Flicker Technique was decent, but it was only average among Chunin, at the Jonin level it would look a bit lacking.

This increase in proficiency came at just the right time.

He was starting to understand something.

The system's rewards were probably based on the improvement effects and psychological feedback of the students.

Not bad.

Now he understood.

Kyōichi pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "Class ends here for today. You can practice on your own after school, I'll test you again next class. If the results meet the criteria, I can teach you all the Body Flicker Technique."

"Great!"

Everyone was enthusiastic.

The teachers who didn't know were very impressed, Kyōichi looked young, but his teaching methods were powerful. Those who did know had complex feelings, jealous and envious.

This was really relaxing!

And the students just ate it up.

After all.

As long as they could master it proficiently, they could learn new knowledge and ninjutsu techniques, who didn't want that?

If it were them, they would want it too.

The students weren't Chunin.

At the academy, the teachers would only teach the most basic stuff, and not go into too much else - not because the teachers didn't want to teach more, but because most of the teachers themselves weren't that proficient.

Climbing trees and walking on water they still understood a bit.

However.

They were far from proficient in the Body Flicker Technique.

Their level, even ordinary Jonin would look down on, and some children from ninja clans would also look down on it. Teaching it would lead to problems, so it was better not to teach it at all.

Kamida Kyōichi...

They didn't know much about Kyōichi, only that this kid had come down from the battlefield injured, and after recovering was pulled in to temporarily substitute teach.

A temporary role was different.

"Ishimura-senpai, my class is over, next period is yours."

"Alright, thank you Sensei Kamida."

Ishimura took a deep breath.

It was his turn now!

He must let the children know, when it came to teaching, they still had to look to the veteran teachers.

Kyōichi packed up his things.

Calculating the time, when he had returned injured, the fighting around Kikyō Mountain should be nearing its end.

The battle with Sunagakure, should be temporarily ending soon.

"There should be a period of peace for now."

But.

In at most half a year, the major war against the Land of Fire would start again.

He didn't have much time left.

Fortunately there was the system!

Kyōichi accepted the reward, and a lot of knowledge about the Body Flicker Technique flowed into his mind.

Whether the proficiency was high or low depended on the details.

Utilization of chakra, stamina, grasp of speed, and so on.

Go out and practice.

Kyōichi tidied up the documents and left the academy.

Confirming no one was watching him, he ran a long distance, then had a rough sense in his heart.

The increase was not small!

The chakra consumption and speed of using the Body Flicker Technique had increased greatly, the speed, distance, grasp were all more precise. His current Body Flicker Technique was better than many Jonin.

With this level.

"Go home to eat."

After exercising, and just dealing with breakfast casually earlier, he was quite hungry now.

He walked towards the village.

At the village entrance.

Two people appeared in his line of sight, and seeing this scene, Kyōichi was surprised.

Shisui, Obito.

Were these two skipping class again?

And even ran out to do good deeds?

Doing good deeds huh?

"Shisui, is it really okay for us to do this? Teacher's side..."

"Don't worry, I've mastered the shurikenjutsu Ishimura-sensei taught, Obito-niisan, anywhere you don't understand I can teach you fully."

Damn!

Shisui was still the ringleader of skipping class.

He told you to observe, yet you went and surpassed Obito instead.

Kyōichi was a bit curious -

What were Ishimura Shigeshige's thoughts right now?

He must be very angry.

They rushed to attend his class.

And directly ditched it.

Too disrespectful.

Kyōichi felt that when he saw the other party tomorrow, his expression probably wouldn't look too good. But...

It didn't really matter either.

He was just a temp at the academy, who knew if he'd even be here next year, no need to care what these people thought.

Kyōichi shook his head, preparing to go eat ramen as planned.

However.

At this time, Shisui also noticed him.

"Sensei! You're here too?"

Shisui really had no shame.

Clearly still skipping class, yet immediately rushed over when he saw Kyōichi.

"Aren't you worried I'll drag you back for skipping?"

"You're not that kind of rigid teacher."

Shisui grinned.

Obito was a bit afraid to get too close behind, but seeing Kyōichi had no intention of taking Shisui back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you to observe, not to follow along and skip class together...and even directly pulled Obito into it too..."

Kyōichi was speechless.

"I've understood a bit, but not completely, have no idea how to explain it, so I want to try again."

Shisui scratched his head.

Following Obito, he discovered those elderly commoner women's attitudes towards him became increasingly kind, seeming to forget he was a member of the Uchiha.

But.

When asked for the reason, he couldn't explain it.

At this moment, Shisui's heart felt like insects gnawing, besides Kyōichi's class, he didn't want to attend any of the others.

As for Obito.

This guy's ninjutsu and combat were decent, but asking him to ponder these things, Shisui felt he was demanding too much - even though Obito was 4 years older.

"Keep at it, just don't say you saw me."

Kyōichi nodded.

In his view, this was a good thing.

The original Shisui was too naive, thinking he could resolve the contradictions between the Uchiha and Konoha purely through ninjutsu and genjutsu methods. Little did he know all his efforts were in vain.

It was just Shisui's naivete.

Even Itachi was dumbed down, and went on to do a bunch of stupid things afterwards.

Thinking it over now, this was pretty good!
