Monday, Classroom of the first year at the Academy.

At this time, class has not started yet, and only half of the students are present in the classroom.

"Kotetsu, when are you going to introduce me to that cute girl you mentioned earlier?" Kamizuki Izumo couldn't help but ask Hagane Kotetsu.

Hagane Kotetsu restrained Kamizuki Izumo's neck and said fiercely,

"Do you have the nerve to ask me to introduce you to a girl? Last time, you pretended not to do well on the exam, and you actually scored so high. Playing tricks on your brothers is fun, huh."

Kamizuki Izumo shouted injustice, stating that it was an accident last time, just a bit of luck, and he's only five points higher than Hagane Kotetsu anyway.

Only then did Hagane Kotetsu let go of Kamizuki Izumo, but he also indicated that introducing a girl might be a bit difficult.

Because his wicked cousin recently spilled some embarrassing things to Mei, so he temporarily has no face to face her.

"Such a villain, traitor, and scoundrel!" Kamizuki Izumo expressed indignation.

"You're exaggerating a bit, aren't you?" Anko beside him commented sarcastically.

"And why do you want to meet girls? Aren't I a girl?" Anko asked with confusion.

Both Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu fell silent, looking at each other for a while. Finally, Kamizuki Izumo spoke up,

"Anko, it's hard to explain, but knowing that we're brothers should be enough for you."

A girl? If Anko hadn't mentioned it, Kamizuki Izumo would have really forgotten that Anko is a girl.

However, no girl would stand on a desk and shout to the whole class. Anko's behavior is more masculine than all of them, making it difficult for Kamizuki Izumo to see Anko as a girl.

At that moment, Mutsuki walked in.

"Yumi-sensei, do you think I look like a girl?" Anko asked directly.

Mutsuki smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, you're still a very cute girl."

Setting aside words and actions, little Anko is still a cute girl.

Upon hearing Mutsuki's reply, Anko was very happy and made a face at Hagane Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo.

Kamizuki Izumo, Hagane Kotetsu: ...

Which girl would directly ask such a question and then make a face?

Soon, the morning Ninjutsu theory class came to an end.

[Lecture Completed]

[Evaluation: A]

[Rewards Obtained: Illusion·Tree Binding Kill]

In Mutsuki's mind, the learning memories and usage techniques of this B-rank Genjutsu immediately appeared.

"Another Genjutsu. This makes two Genjutsu handed over to Shisui," Mutsuki nodded inwardly.

In addition to this Illusion·Tree Binding Kill, he had previously obtained Hell Viewing Jutsu through teaching.

The effect of Tree Binding Kill is to create an illusion where the opponent is entwined by a tree that has sharp vines, rendering the body immobile but keeping the mind clear. It is generally used for questioning and obtaining information.

Hell Viewing Jutsu allows the opponent to see the most frightening scenes in their own heart.

In the afternoon, there was originally no class, but the sensei from Class 4-6 asked him to substitute. In Class 4-6, Mutsuki discovered two ninjas who appeared in the plot, but unfortunately, their talents were not high.

[Name: Shiranui Genma]

[Potential: B+]

[Name: Ebisu]

[Potential: B-]

This time, he taught Ninjutsu because, due to special circumstances, the fourth grade was already the graduating class. Mutsuki mainly taught Clone Jutsu, which is generally tested upon graduation.

"So, what they said was true. This Yumi-sensei is really good at teaching."

"It seems that the rumors they send out don't have issues in this aspect. Luckily, today's Ninjutsu class sensei is sick, or else we wouldn't have been able to attend Yumi-sensei's class."

"I wonder if I can transfer to Yumi-sensei's class. If we have a sensei like this every day, there's no worry about mastering these three basic Ninjutsu."

"It seems impossible. Yumi-sensei seems to only teach one first-year class..."

Having undergone systematic training on becoming a teacher, blessed with the ability to instruct, and coupled with a vast amount of ninja knowledge in his mind, Mutsuki's teaching quality compared to an ordinary Chunin sensei is a clear and noticeable difference.

Finally, the students of Class 4-6 understood why those classes taught by Mutsuki spoke so highly of him. He is indeed impressive.

Despite the numerous praises from students, Mutsuki did not develop a sense of complacency.

Because he knew there were various reasons, and a significant one was the somewhat distorted educational environment at the Academy.

What kind of ninja would come to be a sensei at the Academy?

Mutsuki didn't know the current situation or what it was like before, but in the present Academy, only ninjas who are conscious that their strength can's go beyond chunin choose to become sensei.

The salary of a sensei is enough to live comfortably in Konoha, but supporting ninja to become stronger in their training leaves a significant gap.

So, this leads to the overall average strength of the academy's senseis, and they lack ambition.

If they had ambition, they would have diligently completed missions every day to earn money and improve their skills, rather than becoming academy teachers.

Such teachers, aside from those with a strong sense of responsibility, how could they possibly seriously delve into teaching? Most of them are just passing the time.

Mutsuki has reason to believe that the Konoha Elders are aware of the situation at the academy, and they might have considered it when establishing the academy. That's why there are team-leading sensei roles.

After graduation, students undergo small-group re-education.

However, this doesn't concern Mutsuki much. After all, he's just a small sensei. He can only ensure the quality of his own teaching.

[Lecture Completed]

[Evaluation: A]

[Rewards Obtained: Fire Release·Great Fireball Jutsu]

Mutsuki found that he and the Great Fireball have a bit of fate; this is the third time he has obtained the Great Fireball.

Feeling the continuous surge of training memories in his mind, Mutsuki senses that his Great Fireball should have reached an adept level in the system.

...

After school, Mutsuki gathered with his disciples at the usual training ground.

"Yumi-sensei, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request for me. Please be sure to agree!"

Before training even began, Obito immediately ran up to Mutsuki, bowing with his hands together, making a sincere request.

"You haven't even told me what your request is. How can I agree?" Mutsuki responded. At the moment, he had no idea what Obito was up to.

"I want Sensei to teach me a powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, so I can win first place at the Youth Ninjutsu Competition!" Obito revealed his request.

In the past, Obito had participated in this competition, thinking that with the mastery of the Great Fireball, he could easily secure first place. However, he never expected to encounter Kakashi, the super genius, and ended up losing the top spot.

Recently, Obito saw the competition being promoted again and decided to invite Kakashi to participate together, settling the score between them.

However, Obito was uncertain. While the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu was practical, it lacked visual impact. His Great Fireball, which sounded like a small fireball when pronounced, was even less impressive.

But it's okay; Obito believes in Mutsuki's abilities.

[Disciple Uchiha Obito's set training task]

[Training Task: Achieve first place in the Youth Ninjutsu Competition]

[Reward: Depends on the completion level of the task and the growth of strength during the task]

Three pop-up windows appeared on Mutsuki's system panel.
