Naruto : Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching

The next day, after finishing his morning classes, Muyue went to the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was, after all, the Third Hokage, and couldn't wait for his reply in the school office every day. So, Hiruzen Sarutobi told Muyue to come to the Hokage Building if he considered becoming a tutor.

Muyue was stopped on the Hokage Office floor, but he had anticipated this and was let through after simply stating that the Third Hokage had sent for him.

Muyue knocked on the wooden door of the Hokage Office.

"Lord Third, I've made up my mind," Muyue stated his identity and purpose.

"Ah, Hanyu, come in," the Third Hokage's voice came from inside the door.

Muyue opened the door and entered, surprised to find not only the Third Hokage but also Minato inside.

Minato was also a bit surprised to see Muyue enter, not expecting to meet his new neighbor from yesterday in the Hokage Office today.

"This is Teacher Hanyu from our Ninja Academy. His teaching ability is exceptional, even I can't help but want to invite him to be Asuma's tutor," the Third Hokage said with a smile, putting down his pipe.

Then, the Third Hokage noticed their expressions and asked: "Minato, do you two know each other?"

Minato nodded and said, "We're neighbors. Hanyu's house is right next to mine."

"What a coincidence. Hanyu, Minato, you two should interact more. You are both outstanding ninjas in your respective fields," Hiruzen Sarutobi praised.

"Not at all, I just do my best," Muyue replied humbly.

Minato also gave a humble reply and then left; he had a good impression of Muyue, but the Hokage Office was not a good place for chatting.

Muyue had the same thought, the location wasn't suitable, so he didn't interact much with Minato either.

"Lord Third, I carefully considered it after returning. If I arrange my time reasonably, I can spare a few hours on weekends to teach Asuma," Muyue stated his answer.

"Good, with you, Hanyu, to teach him, I won't have to worry about that child Asuma's growth," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle, showing full trust in Muyue.

"I will try my best not to disappoint your expectations, Lord Third, and will teach Asuma with all my effort," Muyue showed a grateful expression, indicating he would take the tutoring job seriously.

The discussion then moved to the more mundane topic of salary. The Third Hokage was quite generous, offering two thousand ryo per hour, teaching eight hours over the two weekend days, paid weekly.

Muyue set the time to start at 1 PM and end at 5 PM.

Today was Friday, and Muyue had no classes in the afternoon, so he went directly to the small riverside where he usually trained. Shisui was there, practicing Fire Style with Muyue's shadow clone.

Since effortlessly getting first place in the entire grade in the last exam, Shisui had followed Muyue's advice to use a shadow clone for school and come to Muyue for training during school hours.

When Muyue arrived, he dismissed the shadow clone. Shisui, sensing Muyue's main body, also temporarily stopped his training and greeted Muyue, "Teacher Muyue."

Muyue nodded, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Shisui with a smile, "Take a break and wipe off your sweat."

Shisui thanked him, took the handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck, then sat against the big tree with Muyue.

Muyue gave Shisui an appraisal.

[Name: Uchiha Shisui]

[Chakra: 580]

[Potential: SS-] Compared to a month ago, his chakra had improved significantly, partly due to increased training intensity and partly because Shisui's body was gradually developing, so the growth rate would be even faster in the future.

What dissatisfied Muyue was that this panel was too simplistic; it only showed chakra and potential.

After resting for a while, Muyue spoke: "Shisui, starting today, the training plan will change. We'll begin training in Body Flicker Jutsu and enhancing chakra control ability."

Since Shisui earned the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker" in the Third Great Ninja War, Muyue thought it was perfectly fine to teach Shisui some Body Flicker Jutsu first.

"Understood," Shisui nodded, raising no objections. After a month of learning, he had complete faith in Muyue's teaching ability.

Body Flicker Jutsu is actually not the name of a single ninjutsu but a broad category of jutsu. Any technique that achieves a flickering effect can be called a Body Flicker Jutsu. At a higher level, Space-Time Ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God can also be considered a Body Flicker Jutsu, as can techniques like the Lightning Release Chakra Mode which activate the body to increase speed.

However, Muyue naturally didn't know Flying Thunder God or Lightning Release Chakra Mode. The Body Flicker Jutsu he mastered was the most common type. It involves forming hand signs to gather chakra in the legs and then releasing it, strengthening the body to achieve high-speed movement. The drawback is that using it too many times can cause fatigue and injury to the leg muscles. Although it was just a common D-rank taijutsu, it was very practical in combat, good for both surprise attacks and retreats.

Shisui's talent still didn't disappoint Muyue. Although he hadn't awakened his Sharingan yet, his formidable talent allowed Shisui to learn the Body Flicker Jutsu immediately after Muyue completed one demonstration and explanation.

After the Ninja Academy dismissed, Might Guy and Obito soon arrived at the training ground as well.

"You two, don't rush to train. I've formulated a special two-month training plan for you," Muyue called out to Might Guy and Obito, who were about to start training.

Hearing Muyue's gentle voice, Obito thought Muyue was going to teach something new and looked at Muyue with anticipation, asking, "Teacher Muyue, are you going to teach a new powerful ninjutsu?"

"You haven't even fully grasped Great Dragon Fire and Great Fireball yet. What would be the point of teaching you new ninjutsu?" Muyue shook his head.

"Then what kind of special training is it?" Obito was a bit disappointed to hear there were no new ninjutsu to learn.

"Training that will allow you to defeat Hyuga Kaede in the next final exam," Muyue said with a smile.

"Obito, your taijutsu is too weak. Forget Hyuga Kaede, even if you fought against the current Guy, Guy could prevent you from even using a single ninjutsu, so you must strengthen your taijutsu training."

Hearing Muyue's words, Obito wanted to say something but found himself unable to refute it, because his fights with Hyuga Kaede and Might Guy had all ended in defeat, just as Muyue described. Although ninja battles sometimes seemed no different from a mage duel, if one truly considered oneself a pure spellcaster and neglected taijutsu, they would be the first to die on the battlefield. Generally, strong ninjas would more or less possess taijutsu.

"As for Guy, what you need to do is strengthen your strengths. You need to become faster, so fast that even if Hyuga Kaede's Byakugan sees your movements, he won't have time to dodge."

The Byakugan's observation ability was indeed strong, but Might Guy didn't need his speed to surpass the Byakugan's observation; he only needed to surpass Hyuga Kaede's reaction speed.

"From now on, after every hour of training, you two will engage in half an hour of practical combat, using only taijutsu, no ninjutsu."

"Huh, no ninjutsu?" Obito was dumbfounded. He already couldn't win, and now he couldn't even use ninjutsu. Wouldn't this just be pure beatings?

"If you don't want to be defeated by Hyuga Kaede again next time, then don't use ninjutsu," Muyue replied.

Obito thought about the boast he made in front of Rin Nohara. Even though he already foresaw the painful training life ahead, he could only nod with tears in his eyes.

The new round of training began. Muyue wondered if this special training would trigger the reward for disciples' strength growth. It hadn't been triggered once yet, and he wondered how much improvement was needed.
