3: Teacher Mu Yue Is a Good Person

After returning home, Mu Yue went to the bathroom and stuck out his tongue in the mirror.

As Mu Yue expected, there was a black curse mark on his tongue. This was the mark that every Root member must have to prevent them from speaking about certain topics.

If Mu Yue remembered correctly, the effect of this curse seal is that as long as you say something related to a specific matter, your whole body will be paralyzed and unable to move.

The curse seal set by Danzo naturally contains information about him and Root. In this way, even if members of the organization are captured or rebel, the secret cannot be leaked.

If that was all, it would be fine. He had no intention of leaking Root's information to anyone, but Mu Yue was worried that this curse seal could be actively controlled by Danzo, which would be equivalent to a fatal weakness being controlled.

Mu Yue thought carefully, trying to find a way to break the curse of the tongue from the original work.

"It seems that there is no other good solution except Danzo's death."

But after thinking about it, Mu Yue realized that no one in the original work could break the curse seal. Those who wanted to leave from Root might be released by the Third Hokage. Others can only wait for Danzo to die, at which point the curse seal would automatically expire.

But Danzo is not like a weak character in MOBA games; he won't die suddenly in a group fight.

Danzo, the old fox, is very protective of his life. He usually stays at the base and does not go out. He might even have ways to resurrect himself, which makes him really difficult to deal with.

Mu Yue thought about his current strength and gave up the idea of killing Danzo for the time being.

"I can only go to Orochimaru or study it myself." Mu Yue found that he had only two choices at this moment.

In fact, it can only be regarded as one choice, because Orochimaru's line is not available for the time being.

Mu Yue glanced at the time and felt that it was almost up, so he activated the sensing ninjutsu and sensed Shisui approaching.

Mu Yue walked out of the door and into the courtyard. He thought that Danzo quite trusted the original owner. He had activated the sensing ninjutsu many times, but he did not sense any Root ninja watching him.

When it felt like it was time for Shisui to walk in, Mu Yue quickly formed a seal, burst out chakra with all his strength, and instantly created a huge eight-meter-high fireball, which directly turned the training wooden figures in the courtyard into ashes and made large chunks of the ground burnt.

Shisui, who had just walked into the courtyard, happened to see this shocking scene and was amazed by Mu Yue's fire release skills.

Although the Great Fireball Technique is only a C-level fire release ninjutsu, the level of the ninjutsu is determined by the difficulty of the practice. Many Uchiha jonins like to use the Great Fireball Technique.

But Shisui was very sure that even the jonins of his own clan would never have such power when using the Great Fireball, because they could not convert a large amount of chakra into flames in such a short period of time.

"Teacher Hanyu, I'm sorry for disturbing your practice." Shisui, who had come to his senses, quickly apologized.

"It's okay, I just happened to finish." Mu Yue took a deep breath and invited Shisui into the house with a smile.

"Actually, the Uchiha situation today has a lot to do with your clan's former leader, Uchiha Madara." Mu Yue poured two glasses of water, handed one to Shisui, took the other in his hand, and began to talk about Uchiha's history.

"You should know that Uchiha Madara rebelled, right?"

Shisui nodded, "The clan history says that the clan leader left Konoha."

"If it was really just about leaving, it wouldn't be like this." Mu Yue told Shisui that if Hashirama hadn't been strong enough, Konoha might have been destroyed by Uchiha Madara.

Shisui fell into silence.

But Mu Yue told Shisui that the matter was far from over.

This incident made the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, who did not like Uchiha, even more afraid of them. Therefore, after becoming Hokage, he formulated many policies specifically to govern Uchiha.

These policies aroused dissatisfaction among the Uchiha hawks, who came up with the idea of seizing power by force, but were eventually discovered by the Anbu and imprisoned.

These series of events eventually led to Uchiha's negative reputation gradually overshadowing their previous achievements, and they were disliked by the people in the village.

"Did so many things happen..." Shisui found that he had thought about things too simply.

"Actually, there are Uchiha who are trying to change this situation. For example, Uchiha Kagami was the most successful one." Mu Yue brought the topic to Uchiha Kagami.

"Teacher Hanyu, what kind of person do you think Uchiha Kagami was?" Shisui suddenly wondered what his grandfather's image was to Mu Yue.

He had never seen his grandfather in person, but he had heard a lot about the powerful and talented ninja from other clansmen.

"An Uchiha with the Will of Fire, he turned himself into a bridge, connecting Uchiha and Konoha, easing the conflicts between the two parties." Mu Yue thought for a while and said.

Although Mu Yue's words did not contain any boastful praise, Shisui thought it was the best and most appropriate evaluation he had ever heard.

"I want to be an Uchiha like my grandfather!" Shisui's eyes were firm, but he didn't realize that he had called his grandfather directly. "Grandfather?" Mu Yue looked at Shisui with some doubts.

Only then did Shisui realize that he had made a mistake. He just didn't want to repay the favor, and he didn't have a guilty conscience, so he admitted it directly.

"Hanyu-sensei, you don't have to pay too much attention to the so-called kindness. If you have time, go to my grandfather's tomb and pay homage. I think he will be very happy," Shisui said.

"How can I not repay the kindness of saving my father and my mother? How about this, Shisui, are you willing to become my disciple?" Mu Yue asked.

Shisui understood what Mu Yue meant, and he felt that this would be a huge disadvantage for Mu Yue.

But he didn't want to see a good person like Mu Yue, who knew how to repay kindness, suffer. In addition, Shisui felt that it would be good to be the disciple of a knowledgeable and powerful teacher like Mu Yue. In the end, Shisui nodded and said, "Teacher Mu Yue."

[Would you like to establish a master-disciple relationship with Uchiha Shisui?]

The system pop-up window appeared immediately, and Mu Yue chose "Yes" without hesitation. This was the genius disciple he had finally managed to attract.

[Relationship established successfully, current trust level is two, unlocking "Apprenticeship Return to Master" and "Apprenticeship Return".]

Mu Yue took a look at the introduction and was instantly pleasantly surprised. The "disciple return" feature means that as his disciple becomes stronger through practice, he will also become stronger. The higher the trust level, the more feedback he will receive. At trust level two, the return is doubled: for every point of chakra Shisui gains, Mu Yue gains two points!

In return for training his disciple, he will give Shisui something, and the system will reward him with a random gift. The higher the trust level, the better the reward. This can be done once per day.

Mu Yue thought for a while, then took out a pamphlet and handed it to Shisui.

It contained the fire attribute chakra nature change training manual he had written that afternoon. Originally, he planned to find a suitable time to give it to Shisui to gain favor, but now he wanted to test the disciple return function.

"This is the fire attribute chakra nature change training manual that I summarized myself. Take it back and study it. I will check your training results regularly. As a teacher, I am very strict and will not relax my requirements just because of our relationship," Mu Yue said quite seriously.

Shisui becoming stronger meant Mu Yue could become twice as strong. Mu Yue felt he had to supervise Shisui's training closely.

"Thank you, Teacher Mu Yue, I will practice seriously." Taking the booklet given by Mu Yue, Shisui thanked him earnestly.

Shisui didn't see any problem with Mu Yue's strict requirements. On the contrary, it proved that Mu Yue truly regarded him as a disciple and not merely as a way to repay his grandfather's kindness.

"You gave your disciple a nature change training manual, and because the disciple was very grateful, you were rewarded with a critical hit and obtained the Ninjutsu Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu (proficient level)."

The moment he received the reward, a large memory of him practicing the Dragon Fire Technique appeared in Mu Yue's mind, as if he had practiced this ninjutsu thousands of times.

The Dragon Fire Jutsu is a B-level fire release ninjutsu. Compared to the Great Fireball Technique, the Dragon Fire Jutsu focuses more on flexibility rather than range. You can freely control the fire dragon to attack the enemy. After mastering it, you can simplify the seals into one and release multiple fire dragons simultaneously.

Since the system directly gave him proficiency, Mu Yue only needed to form a seal to instantly release three fire dragons.

Mu Yue looked at Shisui with a newfound perspective, seeing him as an endless gold mine, the kind that could generate gold coins every day.

Mu Yue noticed it was getting dark outside, so he said, "It's getting late. I'll take you home. Don't let your family worry."

"Thank you, teacher. I can walk back slowly by myself. I am the only one at home now," Shisui said, waving his hand.

He felt he had already troubled Mu Yue enough today and didn't want to waste any more of his time.

Hearing Shisui's words, Mu Yue remembered that Shisui's parents seemed to have never appeared. They probably died not long after giving birth to Shisui.

It was only then that he realized that both master and apprentice lacked the same parental presence, which was a tragedy.

"But my uncle comes to take care of me from time to time," Shisui explained, fearing Mu Yue might worry.

Mu Yue nodded and did not insist on accompanying him. Today was just the first day he and Shisui met, and there would be many opportunities to gain favor in the future.

On his way home, Shisui flipped through the training booklet Mu Yue gave him. He then recalled the fire release ninjutsu he saw when he entered the yard and became more curious about Mu Yue.

As a well-known child prodigy in the clan, and because his grandfather was Uchiha Kagami, Shisui had come into contact with many powerful Uchiha and had a vision far beyond his peers.

He felt that with Mu Yue's strength, he shouldn't be just a chuunin, and it was strange for him to stay as a teacher in a ninja school. The ninja school didn't need such a strong teacher, and the ninjutsu curriculum only included the three basic techniques.

Mu Yue watched Shisui gradually walking away, feeling more and more excited about tomorrow.

He would have classes in the morning and afternoon tomorrow, and he wondered what rewards he could get.

Moreover, it was the class of Might Guy and Obito in the afternoon. He wondered what level of potential those two had.
