Chapter 111: Shocking Teaching Results

Kamizuki Izumo stepped forward briskly and met Hagane Kotetsu coming back. The two exchanged smiles and lightly bumped fists.

"Izumo, I've succeeded. It's up to you now," Hagane Kotetsu couldn't contain his joy.

Recalling the recent battle, he couldn't help but feel like raising a toast to himself.

Reversing the odds against a fourth-grade student as a first-grader, calmly seeking opportunities to strike and defeat the enemy, was truly ninja-like.

Hagane Kotetsu believed that the Third Hokage would surely remember his name, Hagane Kotetsu.

"It's a pity I couldn't spread Big Brother Ebisu's fame," Hagane Kotetsu felt regret in his heart.

Because of Ebisu's repeated emphasis, Hagane Kotetsu didn't act like he did last time.

Hagane Kotetsu felt that Ebisu was good in every way except for being too low-key, unwilling to let others know how capable he was.

After watching Kamizuki Izumo's battle for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a rough judgment of the results of this special training.

The special training did bring significant improvement to the students. After fifteen minutes of special training, students could achieve a good score of twenty-four points. Hagane Kotetsu, as a first-year student, gained the ability to confront higher-grade students after special training.

Setting aside the Ninjutsu that piqued his curiosity, Hagane Kotetsu's performance in all aspects far exceeded the level expected of a first-year student. And this time, Kamizuki Izumo also had almost the same level of strength.

"The students have made considerable progress in this special training," Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

Actually, the comparison of scores already clearly showed the students' progress, but there were subjective factors in real combat scoring. Third preferred to see it with his own eyes.

"Confusion Jutsu!"

Several sisters dressed in cool attire instantly appeared on the battlefield, performing various suggestive movements.

Kamizuki Izumo defeated his opponent when they lost consciousness from blood loss!

Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt his nose slightly moist, feeling various pleasant surprises in the strength test this time.

"Yumi-sensei, your students are quite creative," Chitani Isamu racked his brains and blushed, only coming up with this appropriate praise.

While others might not flatter, Chitani Isamu couldn't help it, considering the many times Yumi had substituted for their class.

"Both Kotetsu and Izumo are like that," Mutsuki said with a smile.

"In fact, it's not just me and Izumo," Hagane Kotetsu quietly approached Mutsuki's side.

"Yumi-sensei, this technique was developed by me, Izumo, and Big Brother Ebisu together. To be precise, it was led by Big Brother Ebisu," Hagane Kotetsu intentionally raised his voice a bit.

He couldn't stand the fact that Ebisu, who played the most significant role, wasn't recognized by others.

"Tanaka sensei, isn't Ebisu a student in your class? I remember he was doing quite well," Sarutobi Hiruzen remarked.

"Yeah, he's my student from Class 4-6" Tanaka said, flashing a somewhat embarrassed smile.

He hadn't expected this bizarre Ninjutsu to be related to one of his good students. He remembered Ebisu as quite a serious person.

"Ebisu," Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard Hagane Kotetsu's words and made a mental note of the name.

After completing his mission, Hagane Kotetsu quietly slipped away, leaving without a trace after his task.

"Kotetsu, how did I do just now?" Kamizuki Izumo asked excitedly.

"Very strong. I saw Third-sama watching very seriously," Hagane Kotetsu said, putting his arm around Kamizuki Izumo's neck.

"That's great! Now, we brothers are really on the road to fame!" Kamizuki Izumo exclaimed, punching the air in celebration.

"It's not just the two of us, but also Big Brother Ebisu," Hagane Kotetsu said proudly, explaining his recent actions to Kamizuki Izumo.

"No words needed. If Big Brother Ebisu knew, he'd definitely treat you to something!" Kamizuki Izumo gave Hagane Kotetsu a thumbs up.

"After the test ends, we'll tell Big Brother Ebisu the good news," Hagane Kotetsu said excitedly.

Ebisu, waiting for his turn to fight in Group A, felt his nose itching. He sneezed, suddenly sensing something ominous.

"Seize this opportunity to perform well in front of Hokage-sama," Ebisu shook off these distracting thoughts, trying to maintain his good condition.

...

After watching two more battles, other Chunin sensei also noticed that the students' improvement wasn't just an occasional occurrence, but rather, all of them had made significant progress.

"How did they teach them? It's only been five weeks, yet there's been such a remarkable improvement. Did all the students practice diligently every day without distraction?" Some sensei felt puzzled.

Many Chunin sensei had heard about Mutsuki's teaching abilities.

But most people feel that even with better teaching, it won't make much difference. Apart from possibly having better theoretical scores, real combat abilities are still determined by the students' talents. No matter how well you teach, you can't change the difficulty of Ninjutsu.

However, the progress in front of them is undeniable. Previously, they thought that average or even poor students had reached a good level during this month-long special training.

"Let's go see the students from the other groups." After the fifth battle ended, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, having watched the battles of ten students, they had a good idea of the overall level of the group.

"This way is Group B." Mutsuki led Sarutobi Hiruzen and others towards Group B.

Group B was testing near the river.

As soon as Mutsuki and the others arrived, they saw two students engaged in fierce combat on the surface of the river.

"Most of the students in Group B have completed Chakra control training. They have no problem climbing trees or walking on water. In addition, their progress in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu is faster than that of Group C," Mutsuki explained.

"All of them can walk on water?" A Chunin sensei expressed doubt.

If climbing trees is something that excellent fourth-grade students generally master, then walking on water is a skill that not even all Genin may possess. It especially tests the level of Chakra Control.

He glanced roughly and found that there didn't seem to be fewer students in Group B than in Group C. He didn't think there could be so many outstanding students.

But he quickly had to believe it because all the students in Group B went to fight on the river surface during the fight. Not only could they walk on water, but they also appeared to be very proficient.

"These students would definitely pass as Genin if they graduated directly," a sensei commented.

If Group C consisted of excellent students, then Group B gave them the feeling that there would be no problem graduating directly.

"Yeah, with this level of Clone Jutsu, they would get a perfect score even by graduation exam standards," another sensei agreed.

Some sensei saw their own students among them, while others questioned their life choices.

"This kid wasn't that strong before, how did he suddenly become so much stronger?"

For a moment, they didn't know if they had underestimated the students or if the students were deceiving them.

Seeing the excellent performance of the Group B students, Third began to have some expectations for the level of the Group A students.

"This way is Group A." After watching several battles, Mutsuki led Sarutobi Hiruzen and others to Group A.
