Chapter 11: Small, but Very Cute
[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]
[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]
Seeing the trust level at 2, Mu Yue silently nodded to himself. His elaborate plan to disguise himself as prey and lure them had paid off.
Mu Yue felt that the trust level was quite difficult to improve, and it likely required time. If the trust level had been at level 1, the early rewards would have been much lower.
[Two disciples with potential of S or higher, obtained skill: Teaching]
[Teaching: The knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed]
It was a simple and straightforward skill, but it was powerful. It enhanced the effectiveness of his teaching.
Mu Yue tried it out, and this skill turned out to be a passive one that could be toggled on and off. However, for something that had no downsides, Mu Yue naturally kept it activated—unless one day Danzo noticed how well he was teaching and asked him to come teach at the Root, then he would turn it off.
What disappointed Mu Yue was that the number of teaching returns didn't increase with the number of disciples. It was still only once per day.
He had hoped that by cooking for Shisui, he might get a burst of 50 chakra, and with three disciples, he would have a guaranteed increase of 150 chakra per day, which was much faster than completing courses. However, it turned out that he was thinking too much.
Even though there were still only one return per day, with three disciples, it was better than having just one.
Emotions have a threshold, and as they gradually increased under repeated stimuli, the threshold would rise. This made it harder to trigger high rewards.
With three people, Mu Yue could rotate their teaching, increasing the chances for big rewards while also slowing down the emotional threshold increase.
"Besides, the current growth rate is still acceptable," Mu Yue thought to himself as he looked at his panel.
[Name: Yu Sheng Mu Yue]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 4405]
[Skills: Fire Style: Great Fireball, Water Style: Water Barrier, Wind Style: Pressure Harm, Teaching...]
Compared to when he first arrived, Mu Yue had gained 105 chakra in total, with 90 points coming from teaching and disciple returns, and the remaining 15 points from his own training and the return from teaching his disciples.
This was Mu Yue's result after five days, as most of his rewards were for various ninjutsu.
If Mu Yue focused solely on gaining chakra, he would get a guaranteed 100 chakra a week just from teaching, not even counting disciple returns.
However, Mu Yue felt that it was better to focus on A-level rewards or a balance of A and B rewards for now.
The system's teaching rewards came with fully mastered ninjutsu, not just basic knowledge—they were directly usable in battle.
If it was a type of ninjutsu he hadn't mastered, it came with a nature transformation, and if he drew a duplicate, it would add to his experience. It was a thoughtful system.
If Mu Yue had to spend time training these ninjutsu, it would take a significant amount of time, and finding ways to improve his training methods was another challenge.
But once he had more methods at his disposal, Mu Yue thought he would need to focus more on chakra, since chakra was the foundation of being a ninja.
"Teacher, I'm done!"
Wanting to learn new ninjutsu quickly, Obito eagerly handed in his completed test paper.
"I'm done too," said Might Guy, not wanting to fall behind.
"Two people, huh..." Mu Yue felt fortunate that they were in the world of Naruto, where the Shadow Clone Jutsu was common.
Mu Yue made a Shadow Clone and said, "You go explain the theory of the Leaf Whirlwind to Guy, and demonstrate it a few times."
Since one was learning taijutsu and the other ninjutsu, Mu Yue couldn't teach them both at once and had to split his attention.
He decided to teach Obito ninjutsu with his main body and guide Guy with his clone.
After half an hour, they would switch. The main body would teach Guy, and the clone would teach Obito.
Mu Yue didn't want to be just a confidant teacher for one student; he wanted to send warmth to all his disciples.
Just like how he had been careful teaching Shisui, Mu Yue divided the lessons into detailed parts and guided them step by step.
[You taught Obito Fire Style: Great Fireball. Because Obito is very grateful, a critical hit reward was triggered, and you gained Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu (Mastery Level)]
Mu Yue fell into thought. He remembered teaching Shisui the Great Fireball as well, but there hadn't been a teaching return when that happened.
He thought of a possible reason. His Great Fireball had been obtained from Shisui, so the reward couldn't be counted twice from the same disciple.
Mu Yue silently made a note of this hidden rule.
"Please don't let it be the Water Dragon Bullet with forty-four hand seals," Mu Yue thought, recalling the Water Dragon Bullet used by Kakashi and Zabuza.
While performing seals to the anime might look cool, in reality, performing ninjutsu with so many hand seals was difficult unless someone was there to hold off the enemy for you.
The system's mastery level did not disappoint. It only required six hand seals, and with continued practice, the seals could be further simplified.
After teaching Obito for half an hour, Mu Yue switched and went to guide Guy, while his clone taught Obito.
Once they were done, Mu Yue also made sure to guide Shisui, rotating between the three disciples.
By noon, Mu Yue personally went to the river, caught four fish, and roasted them over a fire. One fish per person for lunch.
"Delicious! Teacher Mu Yue, if you opened a barbecue shop, you'd surely make a killing," Obito said while eating, praising the food.
Shisui and Guy nodded in agreement.
"Be careful, don't swallow the fishbones," Mu Yue chuckled, shaking his head.
Was it really that good? Mu Yue thought it was probably quite ordinary since he didn't have much skill in barbecuing, and he rarely cooked it.
However, the atmosphere made everything taste better.
Shisui usually ate alone at home, so he rarely had such a communal meal, especially not in the wilderness.
Obito usually ate with his grandmother, and Guy with his father.
Since they didn't often eat roasted fish, it was a novel experience, and the added ambiance made the simple roasted fish taste much better.
After lunch and a one-hour break, Mu Yue and the three resumed training.
"This ninjutsu isn't that difficult," Obito said, feeling proud of the chubby little fire dragon he had summoned. It was much smoother than when he had practiced the Great Fireball.
Coincidentally, Shisui was also practicing the Great Fireball and had summoned a fire dragon.
Seeing Shisui's snarling, fierce fire dragon, Obito quietly hid his cute little fire dragon behind himself.
After kicking the Leaf Whirlwind many times, Guy wiped his sweat and was about to rest when he saw this scene.
Maybe because they had shared hardships in the morning, Guy walked over to comfort Obito. "It's okay, your fire dragon is small, but it's cute. It'll become as strong as Teacher Mu Yue's one day."
Although it was meant to comfort him, Obito couldn't shake the feeling of frustration that surged within him, making him uncomfortable.
This frustration gave him new energy, and he immediately went back to practicing the Great Fireball.
Seeing Obito's determination, Guy, too, didn't want to fall behind. After resting for a while, he quickly resumed his practice.
"These two really work well together," Mu Yue, who had been observing, couldn't help but feel a little moved. He realized that there was some chemistry between Obito and Guy.
After training until dinnertime, Mu Yue told them to go back to their respective homes and informed them to continue the next day.
On Sunday, they trained the entire day again, and Mu Yue got a chakra return of 50 points from teaching.
The new week began...
