The Pathological Danzo

"Night, this is Lord Danzo's latest directive." The Root organization ninja handed Mu Yue a scroll.

Mu Yue nodded and accepted the scroll. Night was his codename within Root.

The two did not speak further. After handing the scroll to Mu Yue, the Root organization ninja swiftly vanished. Mu Yue was considered one of Root's hidden pieces; too much contact would be troublesome if the Anbu discovered it.

Before the Root organization ninja left, Mu Yue appraised him.

Name: Hirasaka Iro

Potential: B

Chakra: 7000

Evaluation: A somewhat capable jonin

Seeing that staggering seven thousand Chakra, Mu Yue could not help but feel envious. He did not even have five thousand—he was five six-year-old Shisuis behind.

Only after his Perception Ninjutsu could no longer detect the Root organization ninja did Mu Yue enter the room and unroll the scroll to see what latest order Danzo had issued.

"Shisui Uchiha in your class is a genius of the Uchiha Clan. Monitor his actions, determine his personality, and assess him."

After reading it, Mu Yue could not help but sigh. Danzo's wariness toward the Uchiha Clan was practically pathological.

Shisui was only six years old this year. He had only just entered the Ninja Academy.

Yet merely because such a child had gained a slight reputation as a genius within his clan, Danzo wanted Mu Yue to monitor and assess him.

Of course, it was also possible that Danzo had plans for Shisui and wanted to recruit him into Root.

However, Mu Yue did not think Danzo's plan would succeed. The Third Hokage would let Danzo know who the Hokage truly was.

The Third Hokage could tolerate the existence of the Root organization, but he could not tolerate an overly powerful Root organization.

The potential ceiling of a genius Uchiha was simply too high. Who knew what level he could grow to?

Therefore, a genius Uchiha either obediently remained in the Uchiha Clan or joined the Anbu.

After reading it, Mu Yue used Fire Release to destroy the scroll.

This new directive was still within Mu Yue's acceptable range. In fact, even if Danzo had not specifically sent someone over, Mu Yue would have reported that Shisui was a genius when making his report.

Mu Yue felt that, given Danzo's attention toward the Uchiha Clan, concealment was meaningless and would only bring trouble upon himself.

Mu Yue created a Shadow Clone and had it practice ninjutsu, while his main body began training to increase his Chakra.

At present, Chakra was his greatest weakness. No matter how many ninjutsu he learned or how proficient he became in them, without sufficient Chakra, it would still be difficult to unleash their power.

No matter how strong a ninja with little Chakra was, their strength was limited. No matter how weak a ninja with abundant Chakra was, they could not be too weak. It could be said that Chakra determined a ninja's upper and lower limits.

The next day.

Since he had no classes that morning, Mu Yue used the time to visit the Ninja Academy's archive room.

He wanted to organize the exam papers from the Fourth Grade over the past few years. Since the process went smoothly, he also pulled out the First Grade papers while he was at it.

His main purpose was to take on disciples, but he had not been lying when he said he would improve the two boys' theoretical grades.

After studying them, Mu Yue discovered that the questions did not vary much from year to year. Every question belonged to the same type, with only the wording or numbers changed. Some papers even had identical questions.

Mu Yue nodded, confident that the two would pass.

He felt they did not even need to grind through questions. As long as they completed some papers from the previous two years, passing should not be a problem.

After taking several papers, Mu Yue left the archive room and headed to the office.

"She kept listening to me yesterday. She was obviously very interested in me!"

"Could it be that she simply didn't want to talk to you?"

"When it came time to pay yesterday, she even took the initiative to split the bill. She was already being considerate of me!"

"Could it be that she was afraid you'd use the excuse of taking turns treating each other to ask her out again?"

The moment Mu Yue entered the office, he saw Ueda Aya tearing into Iketani Isamu.

Mu Yue looked toward Kimura Sugito, who was watching the show nearby.

"Isamu went on a blind date yesterday. He was just telling us about it and wanted us to give him some advice on how to pursue her, but Ueda thinks his blind date has no interest in him and is telling him to move on," Kimura Sugito briefly explained.

"Teacher Hanyu, you came at just the right time. Do you have any special tricks for chasing girls?" Seeing Mu Yue arrive, Iketani Isamu stopped arguing with Ueda Aya and hurriedly asked.

He felt Mu Yue looked like the sort of man who had lots of girlfriends.

"Special tricks? I think as long as you let the other person feel your sincerity, that should be enough," Mu Yue said after thinking for a moment.

Whether there were any tricks was another matter. Even if Mu Yue had some, he would not tell Iketani Isamu. They did not fit the persona he was presenting.

"Sincerity..." Iketani Isamu revealed a troubled expression. How was he supposed to make her feel that?

"Give it up, Iketani. Look at what Teacher Hanyu looks like. Even if his tricks work for him, they might not work for you," Ueda Aya said faintly.

"How could that be? I admit Teacher Hanyu is indeed a little more handsome than me, but the difference isn't that big, is it?" Iketani Isamu said indignantly.

"You really won't turn back until you hit a wall." Ueda Aya looked at Iketani Isamu's stubborn expression with a headache.

She was a woman herself—how could she not understand women? After hearing Iketani Isamu's account, she knew the blind date had been a lost cause, but Iketani Isamu stubbornly refused to believe it.

"Keep it up." Mu Yue-sensei smiled encouragingly. What else could he say? Even Ueda Aya, who was his friend, couldn't talk him out of it.

Besides, Mu Yue-sensei genuinely hoped Iketani Isamu would keep himself busier. That way, he could fill in for Class 4-2 again.

"Mu Yue-sensei has a good eye. Ueda, just wait and see." With Mu Yue-sensei's encouragement, Iketani Isamu became even more confident.

During the afternoon class, Mu Yue-sensei made a small attempt—he deliberately lowered the quality of his lesson.

Based on the system's previous evaluation, he guessed that the teaching score was probably divided into two main parts: the quality of the lesson content and student satisfaction.

He wanted to earn a B-rank evaluation, because when he had received an A-rank evaluation for the first time, he had gotten an extra reward.

By that logic, receiving a B-rank evaluation for the first time should also come with an extra reward.

Lesson complete. Calculating evaluation...

Evaluation: B

Reward obtained: Chakra +20

First time completing a B-rated lesson. Reward obtained—Proficient Mastery of Chakra Form Transformation

A vast number of memories of himself training Chakra Form Transformation instantly appeared in Mu Yue-sensei's mind.

Mu Yue-sensei was pleasantly surprised. In the chakra system, Form Transformation was on par with Nature Transformation; both could effectively strengthen Ninjutsu.

Although his Form Transformation had only reached proficiency rather than mastery, it was not limited by Chakra Nature.

Speaking of Form Transformation, one had to mention the Rasengan that Naruto kneaded from beginning to end. The Rasengan was practically the representative Ninjutsu of Form Transformation, possessing tremendous power without the need for Nature Transformation.

"I can start developing the Rasengan." Mu Yue-sensei planned to develop this useful A-rank hand-signless Ninjutsu himself. With the detailed training process from the original work, along with his knowledge of Form Transformation, the process should not be too difficult.

The chakra awarded by the B-rank evaluation also gave Mu Yue-sensei another consideration for future classes. He felt that he could appropriately farm some B-rank evaluations from time to time. Each one did not give much, but small gains added up.

After adding Rasengan development to his schedule, Mu Yue-sensei realized that his life was exceptionally fulfilling now.

He taught during the day, guided Shisui in the evening, trained and developed Ninjutsu at night, and held Special Training for Might Guy and Obito on the Weekend. His schedule was packed.

Mu Yue-sensei wanted to maintain this peaceful life forever and develop steadily for a few years.

Unfortunately, he had not transmigrated at a good time. He was destined to have a hard time enjoying quiet days.

On the fourth day after Mu Yue-sensei transmigrated to the ninja world, some bad news arrived in Konoha from the front lines.

There would be another chapter after eight.
