Absurd Teacher, Absurd System

What kind of normal teacher stuck his ass out, lay against a hole in the back wall of a women's bathhouse, and peered inside with his eyes wide open?

Jiraiya was so absorbed in peeping that he did not notice his newly accepted disciple, Minato Namikaze, landing on the trunk of a large tree behind him.

Minato Namikaze sighed. Sure enough, he had found his teacher here.

He had transmigrated into Minato Namikaze and was following his teacher Jiraiya out of the village for the first time to carry out a C-Rank Escort Mission.

The mission had gone very smoothly—so smoothly that the escort had ended half a month early.

Their team had stayed in this small town for a week already, because it had famous Hot Springs. It was a fine place for nearby women to bathe in the springs and care for their skin.

Minato Namikaze jumped down from the tree and landed beside Jiraiya.

"Teacher, you can't keep watching. Look at all that drool—you've made a puddle at the base of the wall. Don't soak the foundation of the women's bathhouse wall until it collapses."

Jiraiya twisted his ample backside and chuckled as he replied:

"This is a women's bathhouse. There is water everywhere. How could my drool possibly make the wall collapse? Minato, you're good at everything, but the way you talk is too absurd."

Minato Namikaze turned his head to the side and had no choice but to keep watch for his teacher.

Half a minute later, Jiraiya finally stopped looking and turned to lean against the wall.

"Finished? Can we go now, Teacher?"

Jiraiya rubbed his tired eye as he said:

"I'm not finished. The bathhouse added hot water, and the steam is too thick to see anything. If only I had the Byakugan too. The men of the Hyuga Clan... they're truly enviable."

"Teacher, you're one of the Konoha Sannin. Peeping once in a while is understandable, but how can you peep without restraint for days on end? The women's bathhouse may be able to take it, but your body can't." Minato Namikaze said.

"Teacher, shouldn't you be refining your ninjutsu like Orochimaru, becoming someone who changes the Ninja World like the protagonist of your novel draft?"

"The protagonist in my novel? That is merely a perfect person I imagined because I could not achieve it myself." Jiraiya looked at the golden-haired Minato Namikaze, his gaze filled with satisfaction.

"Before you, I encountered three orphans in the Land of Rain and thought they were the Child of Prophecy spoken of by the Great Toad Sage.

"But after meeting you, I understood that you are the Child of Prophecy.

"Compared to you, anyone else pales in comparison. You are only eleven years old, yet your ninjutsu is superb, your mind is clear, and you're as handsome as I am.

"In the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, I am not the Child of Prophecy who will change the Ninja World. But I will be the teacher of the Child of Prophecy, guiding the world's reformation."

Faced with his teacher's expectant gaze, Minato Namikaze turned away, unsure how to respond.

The Child of Prophecy... according to the original story, he was not the Child of Prophecy either. His son, Naruto Uzumaki, was.

"Teacher, can this world truly change because of one person?"

Jiraiya's eyes were unusually bright in the night. "Precisely because I cannot do it, precisely because it is unbelievable, I look forward to it all the more. The Child of Prophecy will bring an incomparably profound reformation to the Ninja World!"

Minato Namikaze quietly shook his head.

In fact, even Naruto Uzumaki had not changed the Ninja World.

Naruto Uzumaki had ultimately brought peace to the Ninja World, but that peace was like the peace during Hashirama Senju's era. It existed only because one ninja stood above the entire Ninja World, and the other ninja villages did not dare act recklessly.

Once the person who stood above the Ninja World grew old and died, the Ninja World would once again descend into war because of conflict.

Bringing reformation to the Ninja World was far too difficult.

Unwilling to think about such distant matters any longer, Minato Namikaze asked, "Teacher, when are we returning to the village?"

"When I stop seeing new faces while peeping. These past few days, there have been new faces in the women's bathhouse every day. It's impossible to stop." Jiraiya recalled something and asked:

"By the way, Minato, what have you and the other team members been doing these past two days?"

Jiraiya had finally remembered to care about the ninjutsu studies of Minato Namikaze and the other two.

At the mention of what he had been doing these past two days, Minato Namikaze suddenly became excited. "Teacher! I developed a new ninjutsu!"

"Oh? As expected of the Child of Prophecy I chose. You can create your own ninjutsu at eleven? What kind of ninjutsu is it?"

"Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracturing, One-Day Thousand-Acre Plowing, First Form!"

The women's bathhouse behind them erupted in cheerful feminine laughter, yet Jiraiya did not immediately turn to peep. Instead, he looked at Minato Namikaze in confusion.

"What you just said... was ninjutsu? Can you repeat it exactly? You didn't make it up?"

"Yes. Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracturing, One-Day Thousand-Acre Plowing, First Form. I developed it during the day."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a technique you use to plow the farmland outside town?"

"Teacher, your guess is spot-on."

"But!" Jiraiya was deeply puzzled. "Why did you develop a ninjutsu for plowing fields?"

Minato Namikaze secretly rolled his eyes at Jiraiya.

"You've been peeping here for an entire week. One day, you're bound to peep on a female ninja.

"I heard Lady Tsunade is traveling outside the village. If you run into a female ninja like her, even you would be exposed.

"I did good deeds for the nearby villagers only so that when you are exposed, we won't get chased down quite so viciously."

"Oh? Oh, hahaha! As expected of my disciple, you're so thorough. You did the right thing. Tomorrow, keep using that whatever-whatever hundred-acre second form of yours."

Jiraiya turned back around and continued peeping into the women's bathhouse, drooling all the while.

What he did not notice was that Minato Namikaze behind him suddenly widened his eyes.

System!

The Ninja World was merciless! It would not change because of any individual's joy, anger, life, or death.

The all things are but dogs Ninja World merciless ultra-profound reformation system has activated!

Minato Namikaze was somewhat speechless. The original owner was a naming genius. In his mouth, the Rasengan had been called the Light Wheel Ice Pop Initiating Whorl Jiraiya Twin-Style Sphere.

The name was so absurd that even Minato did not know where to pause.

And now, even the system's name was this absurd?

Today, the Host used Earth Release to plow one hundred acres of farmland for farmers in just a few hours, leaving an unforgettable impression on a young farmer named Guangxia.

Guangxia would henceforth spend his life researching how to use ninjutsu to revolutionize agricultural cultivation, becoming the Agriculture Saint Guang Xia, whose name would be passed down by later generations.

The Ninja World had therefore undergone reformation. The Power of Reformation was converted into fortune, increasing the Host's strength.

Average Genin chakra volume: 10 units;

Average Chunin chakra volume: 30 units;

Average Elite Chunin chakra volume: 100 units;

Average Jonin chakra volume: 200 units;

Average Elite Jonin chakra volume: 500 units;

Average Kage-level ninja chakra volume: 1,500 units.

The Host's chakra volume is 32 units. Based on the Power of Reformation obtained by the Host, 10 units of chakra volume are awarded, increasing it to 42 units.

As a widely acclaimed genius, Minato Namikaze had possessed Chunin-level strength upon graduating from the Ninja Academy.

At that moment, he stared at his hands in astonishment. Merely bringing a little reformation to the Ninja World had increased his chakra volume by one-third!

The Ninja World was merciless. In the original story, neither Minato Namikaze nor Jiraiya, not even Naruto Uzumaki, had affected the Ninja World's development through their lives or deaths.

Peace was only temporary. Conflict was the Ninja World's true theme.

Yet merely planting the seed of using ninjutsu to change agricultural cultivation in the heart of a farmer's son named Guangxia had brought him a one-third increase in strength.

War and peace were certainly important to the Ninja World, but productive forces and relations of production were equally important.

Jiraiya's voice interrupted Minato's thoughts.

"By the way, Minato, make sure you practice the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique well. It is my teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite original ninjutsu.

"If you master that technique, you can leave a good impression on Teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Actually, I think that technique... not only is it difficult, its power is the key problem. It's kind of trash."

Minato Namikaze deeply agreed. Though the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique was A-Rank Ninjutsu, its power still depended on the pitiful damage of shuriken, while its technique was extremely complicated, requiring several combined ninjutsu to be used in succession within a single second.

The sound of someone leaping came from behind him.

Jiraiya turned around in confusion for another look, only to find that Minato had vanished.

Hmm? Minato's speed seemed to have increased by a bit again.
