Might Guy and Obito's Potential

"Brother, how's the situation?"

"Not good. That damned cousin of mine actually threatened that if I told anyone about his business, he'd tell the neighbor's Mie that I wet the bed when I was three!" Izumo Kamizuki ground his teeth as he denounced his cousin's vile deeds.

What did their business have to do with little Mie next door? Ruining his glorious image like that was utterly despicable!

"I have a plan. Take advantage of the fact that you're still young and use playing as an excuse to go to your cousin's house and mess up his room. You may be the one making the mess, but if it isn't cleaned up in time, the one who gets in trouble will definitely be your cousin. Do it a few times, and how will he still dare to act so arrogantly?"

Kotetsu Hagane thought for a moment before coming up with another brilliant plan.

Izumo Kamizuki's eyes immediately lit up. With Brother Kotetsu advising him, he would surely be as invincible as the First Hokage with Tobirama at his side. If it worked, he would definitely treat him to snacks.

The moment Mu Yue entered the classroom, he heard the conversation between these two brilliant fools and could not help smiling.

"Class begins!" Mu Yue walked to the podium and began teaching straight away.

"Chakra is the prerequisite for us to perform Ninjutsu. It is produced by combining physical energy and spiritual energy."

Most of the students below listened attentively, since this was one of the most important foundational concepts.

As Mu Yue explained, he occasionally released Chakra himself for everyone to sense. He also tried to weave jokes and little stories into the lesson to keep it from becoming dull, using questions to reinforce their memories.

The four lessons were soon nearing their end. As class drew close to finishing, Mu Yue looked at Anko, who kept grinning and asking questions, and used Appraisal on her.

Name: Anko Mitarashi

Potential: A

Mu Yue thought for a moment and used Appraisal on every student in the classroom.

Name: Izumo Kamizuki

Potential: B-

Name: Kotetsu Hagane

Potential: B-

Mu Yue was surprised to discover that, aside from Shisui, there were only four students in the entire classroom with potential at B or above. Other than Anko and the two of them, only one student he barely remembered was also B-. Everyone else was C—better ones were C+, weaker ones were C-, and there were even some Ds.

Looking at it this way, Shisui's talent was simply too monstrous. He had left everyone else so far behind that they were out of sight.

Anko's potential had also somewhat exceeded Mu Yue's expectations. He remembered that Anko had not been particularly strong in the original work, yet her assessed potential was several grades higher than those two gatekeepers.

However, Mu Yue had no plans to take Anko as a disciple for the time being. He could not accept disciples without limit. At present, he only had four disciple slots; one was occupied by Shisui, leaving only three.

Little Anko was cute, but Mu Yue himself was handsome too—what use was that? Would Danzo release him from Root because of it? Obviously not.

The lesson had been completed. Calculating rewards.

Rating: A

Reward Obtained: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu

"This Ninjutsu is pretty good, but unfortunately, it isn't very useful to me right now," Mu Yue thought to himself.

As the Ninjutsu Naruto had used from beginning to end as the protagonist, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was naturally extremely practical. As long as one had enough Chakra, it was useful for both combat and training.

Unfortunately, Chakra was exactly what Mu Yue lacked right now. There was nothing he could do about that.

After eating, Mu Yue entered the office to find several teachers offering advice to Iketani Isamu, who was about to go on a blind date.

A tall, thin male teacher reminded him, "Make sure to tidy yourself up properly before you meet her. Dress a little more formally, so she doesn't think you're a sloppy person."

"Sugito, you underestimate me. I may have never dated before, but that's common sense, isn't it?" Iketani Isamu replied confidently.

"I think what you need to watch out for most is not boasting like this when you're talking to her." Ueda Aya shook her head as though she had already foreseen the outcome.

"Ueda, just wait and see." Seeing that Ueda Aya actually looked down on him, Iketani Isamu immediately made a bold declaration.

"Mm-hmm, I'll wait and see." Ueda Aya gave a perfunctory reply, then immediately struck up a conversation with Mu Yue when she noticed him entering.

"Teacher Hanyu, you're amazing. I passed by your class today and took a look. The atmosphere seemed great—I can't believe it's your first time being a teacher."

Mu Yue shook his head modestly. "Not at all. It's just that your experience has been useful, and the students are well-behaved."

Although she knew he was merely being modest, who did not like being praised? A smile appeared on Ueda Aya's face, and she shared some of her snacks with Mu Yue.

Iketani Isamu instantly understood what preferential treatment meant. He had worked with Ueda Aya for two years and had only eaten her snacks a handful of times.

After silently complaining about Ueda Aya, Iketani Isamu quickly greeted Mu Yue as well. If this went well, he would remember Mu Yue's favor of covering his classes for the rest of his life!

Mu Yue cheerfully responded to everyone. After chatting for a while, he took out the ink and brushes he had prepared in advance and began practicing calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy during his free time was one of the few good habits he had retained from his previous life, having developed it after taking calligraphy classes in college.

The Ninja Academy's noon break was rather short, so there was no time to find a place to train.

When he felt it was almost time for class, Mu Yue packed up and headed to the classroom to prepare for the lesson.

Ding-ding-ding~

As the bell rang, Mu Yue happened to walk into Class 4-2's classroom.

"Huh? Isn't Konoha History supposed to be taught by Teacher Ikeya this afternoon?" one student asked upon seeing that Iketani Isamu was not the one entering.

"Teacher Ikeya has something to do this afternoon, so I'll be teaching this afternoon's classes." Mu Yue explained as he walked up to the podium.

As soon as Mu Yue-sensei finished speaking, a hurried figure rushed into the classroom.

"Phew, phew... Sorry, Sensei. I ran into an elderly woman on the way and helped her out, so I was late." Obito explained, bracing both hands on his knees as he panted heavily.

"Sit down and listen to the lesson." Mu Yue-sensei nodded, then swept his gaze over the students and appraised them all.

Name: Nohara Rin

Chakra: 300

Potential: A-

-

Name: Might Guy

Chakra: 600

Potential: S

Evaluation: Suited for taijutsu training. Recommended as a disciple.

-

Name: Obito Uchiha

Chakra: 650

Potential: S

Evaluation: Possesses Six Paths bloodline and Space-Time Talent. Recommended as a disciple.

Class 4-2 was much the same as his Class 1-1. Other than those three familiar faces, only Uchiha Tekka had A-rank potential. The rest were mostly C-rank and D-rank.

After looking over their talents, Mu Yue-sensei asked about their lesson progress and began teaching.

To students accustomed to teachers who simply read from textbooks, a teacher like Mu Yue-sensei came as a delightful surprise.

Obito even said directly, "Mu Yue-sensei, you teach so well—way better than the other teachers. If you taught us from now on, I'd definitely pass."

"I'll let Teacher Ikeya know that, along with the fact that you were late." Mu Yue-sensei said with a cheerful smile. Unlike the other Ninja Academy teachers, he had systematically studied how to be a teacher.

Obito's face instantly fell, and he hurriedly begged for mercy. Iketani Isamu was their Homeroom Teacher.

Obito's change in attitude before and after brought even more laughter to the classroom.

During the long break, Mu Yue-sensei activated Perception Ninjutsu. After confirming that there were no problems, he called Might Guy and Obito outside.

There will be another chapter tonight, though the time is uncertain. You can read it tomorrow.
