Chapter 1: Will of Fire? Conning the Will!

"I Didn't expect to graduate from the normal school and end up becoming a teacher after world-hopping." After organizing his memories, Li Muyue couldn't help but complain in his heart. He felt that he had an inextricable fate with the word "teacher."

In high school, he was considered a good student in art class, so many classmates came to him for advice, earning him the nickname "Teacher Yue." Then, in college, he bounced over to a teacher's college and, at the suggestion of his family, chose a relatively strong teacher training major. During college, he also tutored his roommates, earning him the nickname "Teacher Yue" again.

Surprisingly, when he graduated, Li Muyue rebelled and became a civil servant instead of becoming a teacher as everyone expected. However, on his first day at work, just as he entered the office, the next moment, he hopped dimensions and became a new teacher in the Ninja Academy.

Now, his name was Yusei Muyue, with the same given name, "Muyue," but his surname was different.

"Ah, this is not a safe world. There are too many lunatics, fanatics, and maniacs, and they are powerful," Muyue sighed in his heart.

He casually observed the office, which was not much different from the office in his previous life, but the sharp shurikens placed casually on the desk told him that this was no longer the peaceful country of his previous life.

What was even more annoying for Muyue was that he not only had the identity of a teacher but also a member of Root!

The original body was an orphan cultivated by Root since childhood. The reason why he became a teacher at the Ninja Academy was because of Danzo's orders to observe and record the students to see if there were any geniuses.

"Under Danzo's control is not a good place..."

Just as Muyue was thinking about how to survive in this dangerous world, an emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and a transparent blue panel appeared before his eyes.

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

[Teaching students will reward you. The better the students, the higher the reward.]

[You can mentor excellent students one-on-one, and the teacher will receive rewards as the disciple's strength grows.]

[Note: Both parties must agree to the mentorship; it cannot be forced unilaterally.]

Muyue studied the blue panel for a moment, and at the moment, there were only two options: personal template and mentor-disciple. Muyue clicked on the personal template.

[Name: Yusei Muyue]

[Age: 18]

[Chakra: 4300]

[Skills: Shadow Clone Jutsu, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Body Flicker Technique, Konoha Hiden: Water Style]

[Rating: Elite among Chunin plays a slightly more significant role in wars as cannon fodder.]

After reading the somewhat painful evaluation, Muyue silently closed the personal template and clicked on the mentor-disciple option. Since he didn't have any disciples yet, it was a blank space.

When the bell rang to start class, Muyue remembered that he had the first class and hurriedly packed up and walked toward the classroom.

Although he was a new teacher, due to the scarcity of teachers at the Ninja Academy, Muyue also became a class teacher and was responsible for a class of new students.

Looking at the class list, he recognized several familiar names.

When he saw the name Uchiha Shisui, Muyue's eyes lit up. This one was definitely an extraordinary genius.

Since he could gain rewards by helping disciples grow stronger, the more talented the disciple, the better. Muyue was considering how to collect Shisui as a disciple when he noticed that the system remained unresponsive. Apparently, he had failed to collect Shisui as a disciple through this method. It seemed that the system required mutual agreement, and he couldn't force it.

Muyue didn't show his disappointment on his face. After everyone introduced themselves, he used a bright and friendly smile to enter the classroom.

The design of the Ninja Academy classroom was somewhat unique. To make it easier for students in the back rows to see, the height of the seats increased row by row.

Muyue's appearance made the originally noisy classroom fall silent. After all, they were all five or six years old, and it was their first time attending school. Most of them were curious and awed by the existence of ninja teachers.

Of course, there were exceptions. For example, a purple-haired little girl sitting in the front row with a single ponytail spoke boldly to Muyue after he entered the classroom.

"Big brother, you look so handsome. Are you our teacher?"

Muyue smiled and nodded in response, "That's right, this lovely little classmate. I am your homeroom teacher from now on."

"Hey hey," being praised for being handsome, the purple-haired little girl felt that this blond male teacher was a good person.

Seeing the interaction between the two, the hearts of the other students relaxed a lot. Although it was their first time attending school, some had heard their relatives complain about strict teachers, making them somewhat fearful.

Before Muyue started the lesson, he asked a question, "Do you all know how Konoha was established?"

The classroom fell silent again, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Although Shisui, who had received education from the clan, knew a little, he wouldn't actively answer unless called upon.

"Exactly, it was built by people," A Red Bean thought for a moment and replied.

"Indeed, it was built by people, but what you need to know is who built Konoha and why it was established," Muyue did not deny the Red Bean's answer and continued with the story.

"Before the era of the Ninja Villages, it was a constant period of war known as the Warring States Era. During that time, even children as young as you might have to pick up weapons and fight. War was brutal and could break out at any moment…"

As Muyue talked about this cruel history, his voice became somber, laying the harsh reality of the Warring States Era before the students.

Perhaps because the children in the ninja world matured early, or maybe because they were in Konoha, many of them felt the weight of this history, and the atmosphere in the classroom changed.

"At that time, two clans stepped forward—the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan," Muyue's tone changed slightly from solemn to impassioned.

"I know, I know, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju," when Muyue mentioned Senju, the students suddenly felt involved. They might not know much about the Warring States Era, but they knew about the Senju.

Hearing everyone focusing on the Senju, no one paid attention to the Uchiha. Inside, Shisui felt a bit disappointed, not quite understanding why. After all, both clans were the founding clans of Konoha.

"To protect their descendants and to ensure that children in the future wouldn't have to fight and kill each other, the two clans joined forces to create Konoha. They attracted more ninja clans to join and finally put an end to the Warring States Era, leading to the Konoha we have today."

"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns eternally. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and make the newborn leaves sprout. It's all thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of our ancestors that we have the Konoha we do now. This selfless dedication is the Will of Fire that defines our village!" Muyue finished, his expression becoming serious, as if he were still commemorating the ancestors.

He thought that Shisui might be interested in a teacher familiar with history and who understood the Will of Fire.

"So, Konoha was built like that. Next time, when I pass by the Hokage Rock, I must pay my respects," Red Bean said.

"I also want to become a Will of Fire ninja and protect Konoha!" The students were already imagining their ancestors fighting bloody battles to establish their homeland, and they were all filled with enthusiasm, expressing their desire to learn from their ancestors.

Shisui's eyes also lit up, feeling that this teacher seemed a bit special, and he became more interested in the upcoming life at the Ninja Academy.

Originally, he heard from his family that the Academy only taught the basic techniques, and planned to graduate early to help in the police department. But now it seemed that it wasn't entirely like that.

"Alright, how many types of chakra natures do you all know?" Muyue asked.

"Five: Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Fire," students from ninja families quickly answered.

"Not entirely correct. There are seven chakra natures: the five basic ones—Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Fire—and also the two special natures, Yin and Yang." Muyue smiled and corrected them.

By asking the question first and then correcting them, Muyue wanted to leave a deeper impression on the students.

Muyue then began to explain the basics of chakra, occasionally adding jokes to amuse the kids and make the class more interactive.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, four classes had passed. When the bell for the end of class rang, Muyue stopped and said with a smile, "School's out. Tomorrow, we'll talk about refining chakra!"

Muyue directly announced the end of class and also gave a preview of the next class.

When the students heard Muyue say that it was time to leave, they were momentarily confused. They thought they had just started class, but somehow it was already time to leave. Upon careful recollection, they realized they had already attended and finished four classes.

Thanks to Muyue's guidance, they had been both serious and relaxed during the class and thus hadn't noticed the passing of time.

"Refining chakra, I can't wait!" Red Bean was eager for tomorrow's class.

Her family wasn't composed of ninjas, so she had not been exposed to this kind of knowledge before.

"Isn't class so interesting? My cousin actually deceived me, saying that going to school was boring. I'll tell my aunt when I get back that he stole money to buy snacks," Another student said indignantly, feeling that he had almost been deceived.

"Why not just use this to blackmail your cousin into giving you half of the snacks?" Gengetsu said, offering his own suggestion.

The student immediately showed a look of enlightenment, patting Gengetsu on the shoulder, and admiringly said, "Brother, good idea! If it works, I'll share half of the snacks with you."

Seeing Muyue about to leave the classroom, Shisui thought for a moment, then got up and followed him.

[Teaching completed, proceeding with assessment]

[Rating: A]

[The teacher effectively inspired students' sense of responsibility and enthusiasm by recounting the stories of their ancestors. The lesson was coherent with strong interactivity, and student satisfaction was high]
