Chapter 1: Will of Fire? Deceptive Will!

"After graduating from the normal school, unexpectedly not becoming a sensei, but instead ended up transmigrating into one." After organizing his memories, Mutsuki couldn't help but complain in his mind.

He felt that he had quite a fate with the word "sensei."

In high school, he was considered a good student in the art class, so many classmates would consult him, earning him the nickname "Mutsuki sensei." Then, when he entered university, following the advice of his family to choose a relatively strong normal education major. During university, he tutored his roommates and was once again called "Mutsuki sensei."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, when Mutsuki graduated, he rebelled and directly became a civil servant instead of becoming a sensei.

What he never expected was that on his first day at work, as soon as he walked into the office, the next moment, he transmigrated and became a new sensei at the Ninja Academy.

His current body is named Mutsuki Yumi, and the first name remains Mutsuki; only the surname has changed.

"Ah, this is not a safe world. There are too many psychopaths and fanatics, and they are quite powerful," Mutsuki sighed in his mind.

He casually observed the office, which didn't differ much from the school office in his past life. However, the casually placed sharp Kunai on the desk indicated that this was no longer the peaceful country of his previous life.

What made Mutsuki feel even more frustrated was that he not only had the identity of a sensei but also belonged to the Root as a ninja!

The original body was an orphan nurtured by the Root from a young age. The reason for becoming an Academy sensei was Danzo's order, instructing him to observe and record the ninja school students, paying attention to any signs of geniuses.

"Under the Hokage's watch is not a good place..."

Just as Mutsuki was contemplating how to survive in this dangerous world, an emotionless mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and a transparent blue panel appeared before his eyes.

[Teacher System Activated. Congratulations, you have successfully become a teacher.]

[Teaching students can earn you rewards. The more outstanding the students, the higher the rewards.]

[You can provide one-on-one guidance to outstanding students as disciples. As the disciple's strength grows, the teacher can receive rewards.]

[Note: Accepting disciples requires mutual consent. One-sided acceptance is not allowed.]

Mutsuki examined the blue panel, which currently had only two options: Personal Information and Master-Apprentice. Mutsuki clicked on the Personal Information.

[Name: Mutsuki Yumi]

[Age: 18]

[Chakra: 4300]

[Skills: Three Basic Jutsu, Fire Release·Great Fireball Jutsu, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, Konoha-style Taijutsu]

[Evaluation: Among the elite Chunin, plays a slightly larger role as cannon fodder in wars.]

After reading the somewhat disheartening evaluation, Mutsuki silently closed the personal panel and opened the Master-Apprentice option. Perhaps because he didn't have any disciples yet, it was currently blank.

Waiting for the bell to ring for the start of class, Mutsuki remembered he had the first class, so he packed up his things and headed towards the classroom.

Although he was a new sensei, there weren't many sensei in the ninja school right now, so Mutsuki also became a class adviser, overseeing the freshman class.

Mutsuki glanced at the class roster and recognized several familiar names.

There was Mitarashi Anko, as well as Hagane Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo, the future gatekeepers of Konoha.

When Mutsuki saw the name Uchiha Shisui, his eyes lit up; this one was truly an exceptional genius.

Since increasing the strength of disciples could earn rewards for the teacher, it was clear that the more talented the disciple, the better.

Before entering the classroom, Mutsuki adjusted his expression and walked in with a sunny and cheerful smile.

The design of the Academy's classrooms was somewhat unique, perhaps for the convenience of students in the back rows to see clearly; the height of the student seats increased in rows.

Mutsuki's arrival brought a hush to the previously noisy classroom.

After all, they were five or six-year-old children, experiencing their first time at school. Most of them were both curious and in awe of the existence of a Ninja sensei.

Of course, there were individual exceptions. For instance, a little girl with purple hair, sitting in the front row with a single ponytail, spoke up in a casual and carefree manner after Mutsuki entered:

"Big brother, you're really handsome. Are you our sensei?"

Mutsuki smiled and nodded in response, saying:

"Yes, my beautiful little student. I am your future homeroom sensei."

"Hehe." The purple-haired girl, pleased with the compliment, immediately felt that this blond male sensei was a good person.

Other students witnessed their interaction, and their hearts lightened. Even though it was their first day of school, they had heard some relatives complain about how strict senseis could be.

Mutsuki briskly walked to the podium, wrote down his full name with chalk, and then turned around to formally introduce himself:

"I'm Mutsuki Yumi. Starting today, I'll be everyone's sensei. I look forward to working with you all in the future."

"Great! Sensei, I'm Mitarashi Anko," the little girl with purple hair responded first.

With Anko leading the way, others also responded to Mutsuki. Shisui also followed suit with a response.

Mutsuki sensed the silent disappointment within the system; he had hoped to recruit Shisui through this method, thinking it would acknowledge him as a sensei. Unfortunately, the attempt to bypass a bug failed.

Mutsuki didn't let his inner emotions show on his face. After everyone finished introducing themselves, he gestured for quiet.

"Before we start the lesson, let me ask you all a question. Do you know how Konoha came to be?"

The classroom instantly fell silent again; everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Shisui, who had received education from his clan, knew a bit, but being someone who didn't like drawing attention, he wouldn't answer unless called upon.

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

"Indeed, it was built by people. However, what you need to know is who built Konoha and why it was established," Mutsuki didn't deny Anko's response but continued on her statement.

"Before the era of ninja villages, there was a constant state of war in the Warring States period. During that time, even children your age might have had to pick up weapons and engage in brutal combat. The devastating wars could erupt at any moment..."

As Mutsuki spoke of this cruel history, his voice became solemn, directly presenting the harsh reality of the Warring States period to the students.

Perhaps because children in the ninja world mature early or maybe because it was Konoha, many children felt the weight of the history, and the atmosphere in the classroom changed.

"At that time, two clans stepped forward: the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan." Mutsuki's tone underwent a slight change, transitioning from solemnity to passion.

"I know, I know! The First Hokage, Hashirama-sama, had the surname Senju." When Mutsuki mentioned Senju, the students below suddenly felt involved. They might not know much about the Warring States period, but they were familiar with the Senju clan.

Shisui heard everyone focusing on Senju, and no one noticed the Uchiha. He felt a bit disappointed inwardly. He couldn't quite understand why, even though both were founding ninja clans of Konoha.

"To protect the descendants of their clans, to ensure that future children won't have to pick up weapons and engage in combat, the two clans joined forces to create Konoha. They attracted more ninja clans to join, ultimately ending the Warring States period, and that's how our present-day Konoha came to be."

"Where Konoha's leaves dance, the fire of life continues to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves of Konoha sprout.

It is the struggle and sacrifice of our ancestors that have brought us to where we are today, that have given us the Academy we have now. This selfless dedication embodies the Will of Fire in our Konoha!" After saying this, Mutsuki's expression became somewhat solemn, as if still commemorating the ancestors.

He thought Shisui would be interested in a sensei familiar with history and understanding the Will of Fire.

"So, Konoha came to be like this. Next time I pass by the Hokage Rock, I'll definitely pay my respects."

"I also want to become a Will of Fire ninja and protect Konoha!"

The students below had already envisioned their ancestors sacrificing and fighting fiercely to establish their homeland. Their blood boiled with enthusiasm as they expressed their determination to learn from their forebears.

Shisui's eyes also lit up, sensing that this sensei seemed somewhat special. He began to have more interest in the upcoming ninja school life.

Originally, he had heard from his family elders that the ninja school taught what the clan had already covered, and he planned to graduate early to assist in the police force. Now it seemed that it might not be entirely accurate.

"So, does everyone know how many types of Chakra attributes there are?"

"Five – water, earth, wind, lightning, fire," a student from a ninja family quickly responded.

"Not entirely correct. There are seven Chakra attributes. In addition to the five basic elemental transformations – water, earth, wind, lightning, fire – there are also Yin and Yang, two special elemental transformations," Mutsuki corrected with a smile.

This kind of question followed by correction could leave a more profound memory for the students.

Following that, Mutsuki began to explain the basic understanding of Chakra, occasionally throwing in jokes to amuse the young students.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four class periods had passed. When the bell for the end of class rang, Mutsuki paused and said with a smile:

"School's out! Tomorrow, we'll talk about refining Chakra!"

Mutsuki straightforwardly announced the end of class and gave a preview of the next lesson.

When the students heard Mutsuki say it was time to leave, they were momentarily surprised. They wondered, wasn't class just starting? Upon careful recollection, it seemed they had already gone through four class periods.

It was only because of Mutsuki's guidance that they approached their studies earnestly and in a relaxed manner, so they hadn't noticed the passing of time.

"Refining Chakra, I can't wait!" Anko, upon hearing Mutsuki's words, was eager to fast-forward to tomorrow.

Her family wasn't composed of ninjas, so she hadn't been exposed to this kind of knowledge beforehand.

"Isn't class interesting? My cousin actually lied to me, saying school is tough. I'll go home and tell my aunt about him stealing money to buy snacks." Hagane Kotetsu expressed an indignant look as if he had almost been deceived.

"Then you should just use that as leverage to make your cousin give you the snacks. Wouldn't that be better?" Kamizuki Izumo, beside him, shared his perspective.

Hagane Kotetsu instantly had a moment of realization, patting Kamizuki Izumo on the shoulder and exclaiming:

"Bro, that's a great idea! If it works, I'll share half of the snacks with you."

Shisui watched as Mutsuki was about to leave the classroom and thought for a moment before getting up to follow.
