Chapter 339: Vice-Principal Mutsuki

On Friday, the students arrived early at the training ground; even the last person to arrive showed up twenty minutes before the start.

Everyone knew that today was the last day of special training, and after today, most of them would have a hard time seeing Mutsuki again.

The Academy students were okay; although Mutsuki didn't teach other classes, they could still occasionally run into him at school. However, those who became Ninja would find it much harder to encounter Mutsuki again, so everyone placed special importance on this final day, wanting to leave a good impression on him.

In the first ten minutes before the start, Mutsuki appeared before the students along with Hiruzen and several other Academy teachers.

"Yumi-sensei! Third-sama!"

Many students greeted Mutsuki and Hiruzen, and Mutsuki responded with a gentle smile while Hiruzen nodded back with a cheerful expression.

"There are so many students; there must be around six hundred," one teacher exclaimed, shocked by the number of students, which was nearly equivalent to the total number of two grades in the Academy.

Moreover, they noticed that half of the students were wearing forehead protectors, meaning there were about three hundred Ninjas present, and some teachers even spotted students wearing Chunin vests.

Chitani Isamu was completely astonished; there were even Chunin participating in this special training. It should be noted that the Academy's teachers were mostly Chunin as well…

"The grouping will still be the same as before, divided into three groups: A, B, and C for instruction. However, to improve the quality of teaching, each group will be instructed according to different Chakra attributes," Mutsuki briefly introduced the general content of this special training.

"In that case, Yumi-sensei, how did you manage to teach all of this by yourself?" Oshima Hiroaki couldn't help but ask.

His teaching skills were decent, so he was selected by Hiruzen to be a special training teacher during the last session, but the results were not very ideal.

Looking at so many students, Oshima Hiroaki found it hard to imagine how Mutsuki taught. If it was a joint teaching effort, that would be one thing, but Mutsuki had to teach each group according to their Chakra attributes, and he really couldn't fathom how Mutsuki managed regular classes.

"This is thanks to Second-sama; it is indeed difficult to teach so many students alone, but as long as I create more Shadow Clones, it won't be a problem," Mutsuki replied with a smile.

"But the fatigue after dispelling the Shadow Clones..." Oshima Hiroaki was even more puzzled. Shadow Clones were certainly convenient, but the fatigue they brought was no less, so wouldn't that workload be exhausting?

"As long as the students can learn well, I don't mind being a bit tired," Mutsuki continued to respond.

Oshima Hiroaki suddenly remembered that Mutsuki was different from him; Mutsuki was not a Chunin but a powerful Jonin who could play a significant role in battles against Tailed Beasts.

"However, even as a Jonin, it must be hard to endure such fatigue," Oshima Hiroaki lamented internally. He genuinely did not envy Mutsuki for his current position; it was just too demanding.

"Why do we need to group them by Chakra attributes?" Chitani Isamu asked in confusion.

"Because we need to teach them Nature Transformation," Mutsuki replied succinctly.

The teachers all showed expressions of shock and confusion. Their impression of special training was simply teaching the Three Basic Jutsu and Chakra Control, so they didn't expect that this time they would even cover Nature Transformation.

Although Mutsuki's words were brief, the amount of information contained within them was astonishing.

"He's truly becoming more and more impressive," Shimotsuke Hisanobu thought to himself.

Some of the younger teachers might not know that the education department had actually held meetings to discuss improving the quality of Academy students, and Nature Transformation, being a lifelong practice for Ninjas, was naturally not overlooked.

At that time, Shimotsuke Hisanobu was not the leader of the teacher group; he was just the vice-leader.

The education department held meetings for a long time and ultimately realized that there were too many issues to teach Nature Transformation at the Academy, so they chose to maintain the status quo.

Shimotsuke Hisanobu, who participated in the meetings, understood the difficulties involved, and the fact that Mutsuki managed to solve the problem that the entire education department could not resolve was truly impressive.

Not only did it demonstrate Mutsuki's teaching abilities, but his capacity to teach five types of Nature Transformation also indicated that he could perform five elemental Ninjutsu like Hiruzen.

Shimotsuke Hisanobu estimated that in a few years, he would be able to retire and make way for Mutsuki.

Next, Mutsuki created Shadow Clones to oversee the final exam, while his main body stood beside Hiruzen to explain.

Due to the large number of students in Groups B and C, Mutsuki sent out four Shadow Clones for simultaneous battles in those two groups; with so many participants, it would take too much time to have them compete one by one. Group A had fewer students, so they proceeded as usual.

Hiruzen began observing from Group C, just as he did last time.

He felt that this group was the best at demonstrating the results of the special training, as Group C was the slowest in progress. If even Group C could display surprising strength, then there was no doubt about the capabilities of Groups B and A.

"Mitarashi Anko vs. Kiuchi Yayoi!" Shadow Clone Mutsuki called out the names of the students according to the list.

The student whose name was called quickly walked to the vacant battle area to face off.

"Fire Release: Small Fire Ball Technique!"

As soon as Anko entered the arena, she formed hand seals to use Fire Release.

Her opponent, Kiuchi Yayoi, also a Fire user and a student of Anko's, began forming hand seals as well.

Kiuchi Yayoi's hand seals were slightly slower than Anko's, but the fireball wasn't very fast; being a little slow didn't matter, and he quickly spat out his fireball.

Although they both used the same Ninjutsu, everyone could tell that Anko was stronger, as her fireball was noticeably larger.

When it came to Nature Transformation Ninjutsu, there was no room for tricks; strength was strength, and weakness was weakness. Kiuchi Yayoi's fireball was directly engulfed by Anko's, forcing him to dodge, which allowed Anko to seize the opportunity and defeat him.

"Mitarashi Anko, with your performance, you could graduate directly without any problems," Hiruzen said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Mutsuki's class performance was extraordinary, and his achievements were remarkably outstanding, so Hiruzen remembered a few names, with Mitarashi Anko being one of them.

"Indeed, with Fire Release like hers, some Genin who graduated half a year ago might not even be able to use it," a nearby teacher added.

"Her opponent is also good; he can use Fire Release Ninjutsu as well," another teacher successfully praised Kiuchi Yayoi.

Kiuchi Yayoi's homeroom teacher nodded, as Kiuchi Yayoi was generally quite average in class. Learning Nature Transformation Ninjutsu in such a short time was already impressive.

"He's just outstanding in practical combat; there are still many other areas he needs to learn," Mutsuki thought for a moment before responding.

As for early graduation, unless someone reached Shisui's level, Mutsuki wouldn't recommend it. Once graduated, anything could happen.

At first, the teachers were successfully praising some students for their ability to use Ninjutsu. However, after watching several battles, they realized that everyone could use it; it was just that some performed better than others.

"Mutsuki, the five Ninjutsu you developed are indeed quite interesting and suitable for average Genin," Hiruzen remarked. Watching Mutsuki use them and observing the students' usage provided different feelings, and he discovered several clever points.

He thought that Mutsuki's five Ninjutsu could be promoted, allowing more Genin to learn them.

Hiruzen mentioned it casually, but it shocked the teachers to learn that the Ninjutsu being taught were actually developed by Mutsuki himself.

Mutsuki humbly acknowledged the praise and continued with his explanations.

Even though they were very close, the teachers felt as if they were in two different worlds from Mutsuki.

Next, they moved to Group B. As Hiruzen had expected, the average level of Ninjutsu in Group B was significantly higher than that of Group C. However, considering that Group B consisted mostly of Ninjas, it appeared less impressive than Group C.

By the time they reached Group A, the exam was already about halfway through, and the remaining students were all relatively strong Ninjas.

"Sarutobi Asuma vs. Shiranui Genma!"

Hiruzen and the others coincidentally arrived just in time to see Asuma's battle.

The teachers instinctively glanced at Hiruzen and then quietly focused on the battle arena.

Hiruzen, however, displayed no special expression; he watched the fight with his usual demeanor, just like in other places.

"It seems this exam will end here, but Asuma, don't get too complacent; it won't be easy to win against me," Shiranui Genma said with a smile.

Asuma had already secured first place in actual combat twice in a row. He believed he wasn't his opponent, but he wouldn't let Asuma win too comfortably.

After all, his teacher was known as Konoha's top Taijutsu master, Chen-sensei; he couldn't let his teacher down.

"Well then, I'd like to see how you plan to make it not easy," Asuma replied with a hearty laugh.

Although they had a good private relationship, Asuma had no intention of going easy. After a brief exchange of Taijutsu, he realized that Genma's Taijutsu was indeed commendable. He immediately used Wind Release to accelerate his body and suppressed Genma.

Genma had a Lightning Chakra nature, which was countered by Wind Release. Additionally, Genma's mastery of Lightning Release was only average. Once Asuma used a High level technique, the situation changed drastically, and Genma was quickly defeated.

"I remember that during the Chunin Exams, Asuma hadn't even become proficient with Wind Release; I didn't expect him to improve so much in such a short time," the teachers praised Asuma's strength.

It wasn't solely because Hiruzen was present; Asuma's performance was indeed impressive.

Hiruzen smiled faintly and said, "It's just taking advantage of a junior who is a year younger than him. If his opponents were Kakashi or Obito, he would still be at a disadvantage."

No teacher dared to comment further. It was fine for Hiruzen to undermine his own son, but if they followed suit, it would show a lack of emotional intelligence.

Hiruzen was in a good mood. He called over Genma and explained some of the mistakes he made during the battle, while also sharing a few Ninjutsu tips.

"Thank you, Third-sama," Genma said, instantly feeling happy despite losing the fight.

Hiruzen chuckled as he put his pipe in his mouth and exhaled white smoke. Watching the battles live was much more impactful than reviewing the data. When he returned, he could start preparing to have Mutsuki appointed as the vice-principal.
