Chapter 11: Small and Adorable, Too
Chapter 11: Small and Adorable, Too
[Relationship Established, Current Trust Level 2]
Seeing the trust level at 2, Mu Yue secretly nodded to himself, feeling that his elaborate plan of disguising himself as prey to lure in his targets had paid off.
Trust levels seemed rather difficult to increase, Mu Yue thought. It probably required time and effort to cultivate. If it were at level 1, the initial gains would be significantly lower.
[You have two potential disciples with an S rank or higher. Skill Unlocked: Professor]
[Professor: The knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed.]
This was a straightforward and powerful skill that increased the effectiveness of his lectures.
Mu Yue tested it out and found that it could be toggled on and off at will.
Of course, he chose to keep it active, as there were no downsides to this ability. Unless Danzo noticed how well he was teaching and asked him to instruct members of the Root as well, then he might consider deactivating it.
The only disappointment for Mu Yue was that the number of 'Teaching Rewards' he could receive per day didn't increase with the number of disciples. It remained at one chance per day.
He had hoped that with three disciples, he could cook for them and gain more chakra, perhaps increasing his daily gain by 150. After all, he was cooking for them every day. But that was just wishful thinking.
However, even with just one chance per day, having three disciples was still better than having only one.
People's emotions had a threshold, and with continuous stimulation, this threshold gradually increased, making it harder to touch their hearts and trigger an outburst of emotion.
With three disciples, he could take turns triggering their emotional outbursts, increasing the frequency of 'jackpot' moments and slowing down the growth of their emotional thresholds.
"And the current rate of increase is not bad," Mu Yue thought to himself as he glanced at his status panel.
Name: Mu Yue
Age: 18
Chakra: 4405
Skills: Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique, Water Style: Water Encampment Wall, Wind Style: Compression Injury, Professor...
Compared to when he first arrived in this world, Mu Yue had increased his chakra by a total of 105 points. Ninety of those points came from teaching and the 'Teaching Rewards', and the remaining fifteen points came from his own cultivation and the 'Disciple's Feedback' ability.
This was the result of Mu Yue's efforts over just five days. Most of his rewards had been various ninjutsu techniques.
If he focused solely on increasing his chakra, he could earn a minimum of 100 chakra per week just from teaching, not including any 'Teaching Rewards'.
However, Mu Yue felt that for now, it was better to focus on obtaining A-rank rewards or a mix of A and B ranks.
The ninjutsu techniques rewarded by the system were already fully mastered, including nature transformations. If he drew a duplicate technique, it would increase his experience instead, which was very considerate.
Learning these techniques on his own would have taken a significant amount of time and effort, not to mention the difficulty of obtaining the training methods.
But once he had more means of mastering techniques, Mu Yue thought that focusing on increasing his chakra would be the way to go, as chakra was the foundation of a ninja's power.
"Teacher, I'm done!" Tobirama, eager to learn new ninjutsu, put in 120% effort and completed his test early.
"I'm done too!" Might Guy didn't want to be outdone, so he quickly finished as well.
"Alright, you two..." Mu Yue was grateful that he was in the world of Naruto, where the Shadow Clone technique was a common skill.
Mu Yue created a shadow clone and said, "You go first and explain the principles of the Leaf Whirlwind to Guy, then demonstrate it a few times."
Since one student was learning taijutsu while the other was focusing on ninjutsu, Mu Yue couldn't teach them together and had to use a clone to instruct one of them.
He planned to teach Tobirama ninjutsu with his main body for half an hour, then switch and use his main body to teach Might Guy while the clone taught Tobirama.
Mu Yue wasn't going to be that sensei who only focused on one favorite student. He wanted to share his warmth and guidance with all his disciples.
Mu Yue fell into thought, recalling that he had also taught Itachi the Fire Dragon Bullet, yet it hadn't triggered the 'Disciple's Feedback' ability back then.
He considered a possible reason for this: the Fire Dragon Bullet Technique he obtained from Itachi had been 'burst' from Itachi's own rewards, and perhaps the system didn't allow for rewards gained from the same disciple to be used for subsequent 'Disciple's Feedback' bursts.
Mu Yue silently made a mental note of this hidden rule.
"I hope it's not that Water Dragon Bullet Technique that requires forty-four hand seals," Mu Yue thought, remembering Kakashi and Momochi Zabuza's technique.
While it might look cool in anime to see someone performing so many hand seals, in reality, it was challenging to execute such a technique with that many seals unless you had someone to help distract your opponent.
Fortunately, the system's 'Proficient' level didn't disappoint. Mu Yue only needed six hand seals to perform the technique, and with further practice, he could further reduce the number of seals required.
After teaching Obito for half an hour, Mu Yue went to Might Guy and offered guidance, leaving his clone to instruct Obito.
Once they were both done, they would also go and help Itachi, taking turns among the three of them.
At noon, Mu Yue personally caught four fish from the river, lit a fire, and grilled them. He gave one to each of his disciples for lunch.
"This is delicious, Teacher Mu Yue! If you opened a barbecue restaurant, I'm sure it would be very popular," Obito praised between mouthfuls.
Itachi and Might Guy nodded in agreement.
"Be careful not to eat the fish bones," Mu Yue smiled and shook his head.
Was it really that tasty? Mu Yue thought it was probably just average, as he didn't consider himself a skilled barbecue chef, rarely cooking in this manner.
Perhaps the pleasant atmosphere and the sensory enhancement from the system made it taste better than it was.
Itachi usually ate alone at home and rarely dined with others, especially not outdoors.
Obito usually ate with his grandmother, and Might Guy ate with his father.
Additionally, none of them had tried grilled fish like this before, so the novelty of the experience, combined with the enhanced senses, elevated the taste of the ordinary grilled fish.
After lunch, they rested for an hour before Mu Yue led them back into training.
"This technique isn't that difficult after all," Obito said proudly, looking at the round fire dragon he had just summoned. It was much smoother than his previous attempts with the Fireball Jutsu.
Coincidentally, Itachi was also practicing the Fire Dragon Bullet Technique and spat out a fire dragon.
Seeing Itachi's ferocious-looking fire dragon with its mouth full of fangs, Obito quietly controlled his cute little fire dragon to hide behind him.
Just as Might Guy, who had been practicing the Whirlwind Kick an unknown number of times, was about to take a break, he happened to catch sight of this scene.
Perhaps due to the camaraderie they had built that morning, Might Guy walked over and consoled Obito, "Don't worry, your little fire dragon is adorable. With practice, it will become as powerful as Teacher Mu Yue's."
Although it was meant to be a consolation, Obito felt a strange sense of frustration, which made him very uncomfortable.
This frustration spurred Obito, who had intended to take a break, to instantly regain his energy and continue practicing the Fire Dragon Bullet Technique with renewed vigor.
Seeing Obito's determination, Might Guy didn't want to be outdone and quickly resumed his training after a short rest.
"These two are quite a pair," Mu Yue thought, barely able to hold back his laughter. He noticed that Obito and Might Guy had a strange synergy when together.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Yue had them call it a day and return home, reminding them to continue the next day.
On Sunday, they trained again, and Mu Yue received a 'Disciple's Feedback' of fifty chakra points.
And so, another week began...
