Shuichi appeared in a flash, sat cross-legged in the center.

Close your eyes, release the suppression of the new soul, and the ultimate forces of Yin and Yang begin to merge.

"Judging from your appearance, things seem to be going quite well?"

The Shadow Clone sitting opposite him, finding the main body unharmed, tentatively asked a question.

"It feels... better than ever before!" Shuichi's lips curled up slightly. "Indra and Asura's chakra are essentially of the same origin, and they immediately merged upon entering my body."

"Furthermore, my Mental Energy is stronger than my physical body, and combined with my vast Senjutsu Chakra, I should succeed in no time!"

Upon hearing this good news, the Shadow Clone stopped talking and the room immediately fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, when the two Shadow Clone realized that their chakra was running low, Shuichi suddenly opened his eyes.

Sage Mode has been deactivated. A pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the dim light, and the three Tomoe slowly rotated, making the world seem somewhat different.

"Directly obtaining a pair of Three-Tomoe? It seems that as long as one is within the 'system' of chakra, one cannot escape the influence of the Otsutsuki Clan."

The Shadow Clone chuckled and said, "Physically, it resembles the characteristics of the Divine Tree, and its Mental Energy is entirely reflected through its eyes. It's a pity it didn't directly activate the Mangekyo."

Shuichi readily agreed, "It's pretty much in line with our estimates, after all, it's only a part of Indra's soul."

However, I could sense that I had also managed to siphon some of Sasuke's soul away. As the fusion process continues, the Mangekyo should have a chance."

In the Sharingan's vision, the world turned a pale gray, and the chakra levels of the two Shadow Clones were tinged with color, making them clearly visible.

Shuichi raised his hand for a closer look, and the meridians and blood vessels in his body were clearly audible. Clearly, the Sharingan's Dojutsu was extremely strong.

Furthermore, due to the unity of Yin and Yang, secret techniques related to Yin-Yang Release can be gradually developed in the future, such as Black Rods, which can be created given some time.

BOOM--

With the Shadow Clone gone, Shuichi was in a great mood.

Since it was still during working hours, to avoid being identified by the Wood Clone in the office, he immediately deactivated his Sharingan and flew over. There was no need to rush the research and development of his eyes...

Just as the Lord Hokage was filled with joy,

At the Ninja Academy, in Iruka's class, people were also shouting excitedly.

"Great! I've finally gotten this opportunity..."

Naruto slammed his fist on the desk until his palm ached. Luckily, there were no other students in the classroom, or they would have given him a good scolding.

"The Hokage really has an eye for talent! He recognized I'm a genius!" Naruto's eyes narrowed to slits, his mouth practically twisted into a grin. "Next semester, just wait and see how I beat those arrogant bastards to a pulp, especially Sasuke! Hmph..."

"You better behave yourself. Sasuke has already reached the level where he could graduate. You're still far from that." Iruka gave him a hard tap on the forehead, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"This time it was purely luck. The final exam topic just happened to be the Transformation Technique, and your recent hard work has been evident to everyone, so the Lord Hokage gave you this opportunity."

After thinking for a moment, Iruka deliberately adjusted his expression, his tone of admiration tinged with a hint of doubt, and asked, "Naruto, you're so good at your Transformation Technique, why don't you focus your energy on other things?"

"Well... I did try it, but it doesn't seem to work."

Naruto seemed to have been hit where it hurt. He put his hands behind his head, pouted, and glanced to the side. "I've practiced it so many times, but the effect is still much worse than the Transformation Technique. There's nothing I can do..."

"Alright." Iruka rubbed his forehead. "Then you absolutely must study hard with the Lord Hokage this time, otherwise you definitely won't pass next year's graduation exam. A ninja can't rely on luck or take chances to succeed, understand?"

"Ugh, I understand. You're so long-winded, Iruka-sensei."

"... That damn brat!"

Iruka chuckled and scolded, watching Naruto leave the classroom, thinking to himself, "The Lord Hokage really knows how to do things."

Once Naruto began to discipline himself and train diligently, Shuichi quickly devised a brilliant method that would both boost Naruto's confidence and ensure he received the reward fairly.

Just like in my previous life in high school, top students who could score over 120 points in every subject would basically not hang out with students who scored 60 points in every subject; there was an invisible chasm separating the two groups.

However, if a student who is considered a poor student consistently scores 150 points in one subject, then he will stand out from the group of poor students and become a special species somewhere in between—a student who specializes in one subject but not the other.

In this way, top students will admire his strength in that subject, but won't worry about their own status being threatened;

Students who are struggling will find that they have the same scores in most subjects, which means they have found common ground.

Students who excel in one subject but not the other may not have good overall grades, but they still harbor a sense of pride. "I'll always be better at one subject than you."

After grasping Naruto's mindset, Shuichi immediately used corresponding strategies to address the problem. He instructed Iruka to focus on providing guidance in this area and arranged for the focus of the semester's final exam to be the Transformation Technique, requiring students to transform into various things of different sizes, and then grading based on a comprehensive assessment.

This series of actions finally allowed Naruto to gain Namikaze among all the students, successfully earning him an excellent evaluation and making it reasonable for him to accept the Cheat/System.

"It wasn't easy!"

Shuichi he flipped through the list of graduates in his hand.

As he was preparing to assign mentors to this year's new recruits, suddenly, a figure rushed in from Hokage Building.

Several staff members stared in astonishment at the green-skinned, thick-browed man climbing the stairs with high-frequency leg kicks, stomping ten times on each step before ascending, looking exactly like a fool.

Tap tap tap tap--

"Hokage... I've come to submit... my mission report!"

Might Guy called out breathlessly, a strange sound echoing outside the door. Only after hearing the command did he "laboriously" open the office door.

Shuichi was speechless. "Might Guy, what's wrong with you now? You've practically trampled this floorboards to pieces."

"Ah... I narrowly lost to Kakashi in that duel just now!" Might Guy was still doing high knees in place at his desk, taking out a report from his backpack.

"The losers have to do high knees for three hours straight. I wanted to save some time, so I just came over and submitted the task report. Sorry!"

Shuichi, enduring the annoying vibration, took the document, quickly glanced at it, signed, and stamped it.

Then he directly handed over three Ninja List. "This is the new batch of Genin you'll be training. I've assigned you the top student position. Go back and prepare well. Hmm...?"

"Oh? Let me see!" Might Guy took it, his face lighting up with surprise, like a thief about to open a treasure chest. "Rock Lee? I know this kid very well, and there's also a cute girl named Tenten, and... Neji Hyuga, Hizashi- senpai's son?"

"What's wrong?" Might Guy looked at Shuichi suddenly stood up. "Did I move too much? I'll go back right away..."

"No!" Shuichi's face was serious. A clone of him instantly appeared on the spot and ordered, "There might be an emergency. Go and notify the Medical Unit to prepare immediately. If I don't return for a while, communicate with the Anbu."

BOOM!

After saying that, Shuichi was teleported away by the Reverse Summoning Technique.

A bewildered Might Guy pondered for a long time before finally stopping his high kicks. "Looks like I'll have to double the amount later..."
