Chapter 1: The Will of Fire? Deceive Your Will

"I didn't expect that after graduating from normal school, I wouldn't become a teacher but would instead time-travel and become one." After organizing his memories, Li Muyue complained helplessly in his heart.

He felt he really had a strong connection with the word "teacher."

In high school, he was considered a good student in the arts class, so many classmates asked him questions, earning him the nickname "Teacher Yue." Then, when applying for college, he ended up in a normal university following his family's advice. He chose the teacher training program, which was strong at the school, and then tutored his roommates in college, again earning the nickname "Teacher Yue."

To everyone's surprise, when he finally graduated, Li Muyue rebelled and became a civil servant instead of a teacher.

What he never expected was that on his first day at work, as soon as he walked through the office door, he would time-travel and become the new teacher at the ninja school, just entering the office.

His current name is Hanyu Muyue, but his given name is still the same, Muyue, only the surname is different.

"Ah, this is not a safe world. There are many psychopaths and paranoids, and they are very strong." Mu Yue sighed in his heart.

He casually observed the office. It wasn't much different from the school office in his previous life. However, the sharp kunai casually placed on the desk told him that this was no longer the peaceful country of his previous life.

What makes Mu Yue feel even more disheartened is that he is not just a teacher but also a ninja!

He was originally an orphan raised by Anbu. The reason he became a teacher at the ninja school was by order of Danzo, asking him to observe and record the students at the ninja school and pay attention to any geniuses.

"It's not a good place to be under Danzo's hand..."

Just when Mu Yue was thinking about how to survive in this dangerous world, a mechanical, emotionless sound echoed in his head, and a transparent blue panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[The teacher system has been activated. Congratulations, you have successfully become a teacher]

[You can obtain rewards by giving lessons to students. The better the students, the greater the rewards]

[You can recruit exceptional students for individual instruction, and teachers can receive rewards as their disciples' strength increases]

[PS: Accepting a disciple requires approval from both parties and cannot be accepted unilaterally]

Mu Yue studied the blue panel. There were only two options now: a personal model and a master-disciple model. Mu Yue clicked on the personal panel.

[Name: Hanyu Muyue]

[Age: 18]

[Chakra: 4300]

[Skills: Three Body Technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Konoha Taijutsu Technique]

[Evaluation: An elite among chunin, more useful as cannon fodder in wars]

After reading some discouraging comments, Mu Yue silently closed his personal panel and clicked on the master-disciple option. Perhaps because he had no disciples yet, it was all blank.

Awaiting the school bell, Mu Yue remembered he had a class in the first period, so he packed his things and walked toward the classroom.

Although he is a new teacher, since there are currently few teachers at the Ninja School, Mu Yue also became the head teacher, leading the freshman class.

Mu Yue looked at the student list and saw several familiar faces.

There were Mitarashi Anko and Kotetsu Hagane, the future Gate Guardians of Konoha.

When he saw the name Uchiha Shisui, Mu Yue's eyes lit up. This was an extraordinary genius.

As the teacher can obtain rewards as the disciple's strength increases, the more talented the disciple, the better.

Mu Yue adjusted his expression before entering the classroom and walked in with a sunny smile.

The classrooms at the Ninja School are specially designed, probably to facilitate the view of students in the back row. The height of the students' seats increases with each row, rising upwards.

Mu Yue's arrival made the already noisy classroom fall silent.

After all, they are all five or six-year-old children, and it's their first time attending school. Most are curious and respectful towards the existence of ninja teachers.

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, a little girl with purple hair tied in a single ponytail sitting in the front row who carelessly said after Mu Yue entered:

"Brother, you are so handsome. Are you our teacher?"

Mu Yue smiled, nodded, and replied:

"That's right, pretty student. I will be your teacher from now on."

"Hey." The little purple-haired girl, who was praised for her beauty, immediately thought the blond teacher was a good person.

Other students felt much more relaxed seeing the interaction between the two. Although it was their first time attending school, they had heard some relatives who attended school complain that the teacher was cruel.

Mu Yue quickly walked to the podium and wrote his full name in chalk, then turned around and formally introduced himself:

"My name is Hanyu Muyue. From today on, I will be everyone's teacher. I count on your guidance in the future."

"Okay! Teacher, my name is Mitarashi Anko." The little purple-haired girl was the first to respond.

With Anko taking the initiative, others responded to Mu Yue, and Shisui did the same.

Mu Yue felt a little disappointed realizing there was no movement in the system. He thought he could accept Shisui as his disciple this way, after all, he would be recognized as a teacher but failed because of a bug.

Mu Yue didn't show his internal emotions on his face. After everyone introduced themselves, he raised his hands to signal everyone to calm down.

"Before we start the class, let me ask a question. Do you know where Konoha came from?" The classroom instantly fell silent again. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Although Shisui, who received education from the clan, knew a little, he doesn't like to show off and won't proactively answer unless called by name.

"It was built by people." Anko thought for a moment and answered.

"It really was built by people, but what you need to know is who built Konoha and why they built Konoha." Mu Yue didn't deny what Anko said and continued to build on what she mentioned.

"Before the era of Ninja Villages, there was the Warring States Period with constant wars. During this period, even children your age might have to take up arms to fight, and a tragic war could break out at any time..."

Mu Yue's voice deepened as he talked about this cruel history, directly putting the harsh reality of the Warring States Period before the students.

Maybe it's because children in the ninja world are more mature, or maybe because this is Konoha, many children felt the weight of it, and even the classroom atmosphere changed.

"At that time, two families stood out, one was the Senju clan and the other was the Uchiha clan." Mu Yue's tone changed slightly, from low to passionate.

"I know, I know, the First Hokage, Lord Hashirama, is from the Senju clan." When Mu Yue mentioned Senju, the students immediately felt a sense of participation. They didn't know the Warring States Period, but they knew about Senju.

Shisui felt a little disappointed hearing everyone paying attention to Senju, but no one noticing Uchiha. He didn't quite understand why, even though both were founding clans of Konoha.

"To protect their family's descendants, and so that future children wouldn't need to wield weapons to fight, the two clans united to create Konoha, attracting more ninja clans to join, and finally ended the Warring States Period, and that's how we have Konoha now."

"Wherever leaves fly, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

"It is the struggle of our ancestors, who fearlessly sacrificed, that has made us who we are now and the ninja school that we have today. This spirit of selfless dedication is also our will of fire in Konoha!" After saying this, Mu Yue's expression became somewhat serious, as if still reflecting on her ancestors.

He thought Shisui would be interested in a teacher who was familiar with history and understood the will of fire.

"So this is how Konoha came to be? I must pay my respects next time I pass by Hokage Rock."

"I too will become a ninja with the will of fire in the future and protect Konoha!"

The students below had already imagined in their minds how their ancestors fought bloody battles to secure the country for them. They were all excited and expressed their desire to learn from their ancestors.

Shisui's eyes also lit up, feeling that this teacher seemed somewhat special, and he began to take more interest in Ninja School life.

Originally, he had heard from his older family members that the people who taught at Ninja School had been there for a long time, and he had been planning to graduate early and join the police department to assist. But now it seemed that wasn't entirely accurate.

"So, do you know how many chakra attributes there are?"

"Five types: water, earth, wind, lightning, and fire." A student from a ninja family quickly responded.

"That's not entirely correct. There are seven types of chakra attributes. In addition to the five basic elemental changes of water, earth, wind, lightning, and fire, there are also two special elemental changes: yin and yang." Mu Yue corrected with a smile.

This kind of correction after asking questions could leave a deeper memory for the students.

Mu Yue then began to discuss the basic understanding of chakra, occasionally telling jokes to amuse the children and make the students laugh.

Time passed quickly, and four classes went by in a flash. When the bell rang, Mu Yue stopped and smiled:

"School's out, tomorrow we'll talk about chakra refinement!"

Mu Yue announced the end of class very directly and gave a preview of the next class.

When they heard Mu Yue say that school was over, the students were stunned for a moment, wondering if class had just begun, so why was school over? Upon careful reflection, it seemed that class had already ended four times.

Due to Mu Yue's guidance, they had been focused and relaxed in class, so they hadn't noticed the passage of time.

"Chakra refinement, I'm really looking forward to it." Anko heard Mu Yue's words and couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.

No one in her family was a ninja, so she had no prior exposure to this kind of knowledge.

"Isn't going to class interesting? My cousin actually lied to me saying school was difficult. When I get home, I'm going to tell my aunt about stealing money to buy snacks." Kotetsu Hagane looked indignant, as if he had almost been deceived.

"Well, wouldn't it be better to just blackmail your cousin into giving you snacks?" Izumo Kamizuki, standing next to him, expressed his opinion.

Kotetsu instantly showed an enlightened expression and patted Izumo on the shoulder, admiringly saying:

"Good idea, brother. If I succeed, I'll share half of the snacks with you."

Shisui looked at Mu Yue, who was about to leave the classroom, thought for a moment, and got up to follow her.
