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

Chapter 27: What to Do When Your Teacher is Too Cunning



After completing his tutoring task, Muyue didn't return to the Southern Forest but went to his house in the main urban area.

After quickly cooking two dishes for dinner, Muyue went out for a walk, as friendship wouldn't just come knocking at his door.

Muyue walked for a while and eventually met Minato and Kushina in a nearby park.

They were both sitting on a park bench, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting.

"Hanyu," Minato greeted when he saw Muyue.

"Are you also here for a walk in the park?" Minato asked.

Muyue nodded, sat on a nearby chair, and said, "Just finished dinner, taking a walk to digest".

"Hanyu, Minato told me you're a teacher at the Ninja Academy?" Kushina asked curiously.

She genuinely didn't have any friends who had been Ninja Academy teachers.

"Yes, I just started this year," Muyue replied with a smile.

"Just started this year, then Hanyu, you must have led a very impressive class," Minato said with a hint of surprise.

Kushina looked at Minato with some confusion.

"Yesterday in the office, Lord Third said Hanyu's teaching level is very high, so much so that he wanted to invite Muyue to be their family tutor," Minato explained.

"To get such a评价 from Lord Third after just starting this year, his teaching results must be particularly outstanding".

"Wow, did the Old Man Third really praise him that much?" Kushina was also a bit surprised.

Although her impression of Hiruzen Sarutobi was generally neutral, she respected his judgment.

"Not at all, it's also because the students themselves are diligent enough," Muyue humbly replied, then added, "Jonin Namikaze is truly impressive, becoming a Jonin at such a young age and a crucial combat force for the village".

"Hehe, that's right, our Minato is the strongest," Kushina agreed wholeheartedly.

"But I'm also a Jonin!" Kushina laughed.

Muyue showed a surprised expression, then praised, "Then Jonin Uzumaki is also very impressive".

"Hanyu, you're really good with words," Kushina liked Muyue more and more. If her good friend Uchiha Mikoto wasn't already married, she'd definitely introduce her to Muyue.

Look, what a good man: as handsome as Minato, and skilled enough to earn the Third's praise.

The three chatted for a while, then Muyue was the first to bid farewell and leave.

It wasn't appropriate for him to stay too long with a couple out for a walk; he had to be moderate and slowly establish his persona.

The next day, Muyue continued to train Obito and Might Guy until noon. In the afternoon, he went to Hiruzen Sarutobi's house to tutor Asuma, taking him to the same riverside spot as yesterday.

"I'm too tired today, I don't want to train," Asuma declared, completely giving up. He leaned against a tree, looking ready to fall asleep.

He had secretly resolved in his heart that no matter how Muyue tried to provoke him, he would remain unmoved.

"Want to sleep?" Muyue looked at Asuma with a smile.

The smile was very gentle and soothing, much better than his old man's, but Asuma had a bad feeling.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night, is that a problem?" Asuma stubbornly retorted.

To Asuma's surprise, Muyue nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, the sun is just right today, and there's a gentle breeze, it's certainly a good day for a nap".

Then, Muyue stretched, also leaned against the tree, and said in a relaxed tone, "Being a tutor is really great, just lie down and sleep, and wake up having earned 100,000 ryo".

After saying that, Muyue closed his eyes and rested his head on the tree, looking ready to sleep.

"Wait, what did you say, 100,000 ryo?" Asuma's eyes instantly widened, and he asked Muyue.

"Why are you so noisy? Are you still sleeping or not?" Muyue didn't even open his eyes, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

"Don't sleep yet, quickly tell me about the 100,000 ryo!" Asuma shook Muyue's body.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's the money for teaching you," Muyue opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense with a serious face.

"Do you think I'm working for free? Even the Hokage has to pay for a tutor. My fees are very high. For teaching you, it's 25,000 ryo an hour, so teaching four hours a day is naturally 100,000 ryo".

"Is your mouth made of gold? Why are your fees so expensive!" Asuma was shocked to learn that Muyue could earn 25,000 ryo for spending an hour with him.

He recalled that his monthly allowance when he was in school was only 50,000 ryo, and his allowance was considered quite generous.

And Muyue only needed to teach him for two hours to earn his monthly allowance!

"You can go to the Ninja Academy and ask about the name Hanyu Muyue, then you'll know if it's worth the price," Muyue said calmly.

"But why haven't I heard your name before?" Asuma felt like he was being fooled.

"Because I joined after you graduated," Muyue said, then closed his eyes again, preparing to sleep.

Watching Muyue about to sleep again, Asuma's heart instantly ached. This was a tutor costing 25,000 ryo an hour.

"Don't sleep, let's start training!" Asuma quickly shouted, afraid Muyue would fall asleep and he wouldn't be able to wake him.

"Didn't you say you didn't sleep well yesterday and were tired and wanted to sleep? Aren't you tired now?" Muyue opened his eyes and looked at Asuma with a smile.

Looking at Muyue's expression, Asuma knew he had been tricked; this guy wasn't sleeping at all!

But he was helpless. This was a tutor costing 25,000 ryo an hour. If he really let Muyue sleep here, not only would Asuma not be able to sleep now, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night either.

"I'm rested, let's start training," Asuma said with a dark expression.

He planned to go back and complain to his mother , asking if it wasn't a waste of money to hire such an expensive tutor, when there were already Jonin teachers available.

"Alright then, today we'll still train chakra control. Today's goal is to last fifteen minutes on the water," Muyue stood up and said with a smile.

The training was the same as yesterday. Asuma diligently tried to stay on the water without falling, while Muyue interfered with Water Style ninjutsu from the shore.

Asuma was as motivated today as he was yesterday. However, yesterday's motivation was to prove his father wrong, while today's motivation was Muyue's exaggerated, sky-high tutoring fee.

During dinner that evening, Asuma immediately complained to Biwako, saying that Hiruzen Sarutobi was wasting money by hiring a tutor who charged 25,000 ryo an hour.

Biwako was also stunned by this exorbitant tutoring fee : 100,000 ryo for four hours.

One B-rank mission's reward was also around 100,000 ryo. This was essentially like a single person completing a B-rank mission in four hours.

"Hm? Are you talking about Hanyu? How is that possible? His tutoring fee is 2,000 ryo an hour," Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then said with a smile.

"2,000 ryo?" Asuma looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with suspicion.

"Of course it's 2,000 ryo, where did you hear 25,000 ryo from?" Hiruzen Sarutobi confirmed.

Looking at his father's face, Asuma knew he had been tricked by Muyue.

"Ah, ah! Damned Hanyu Muyue!" Asuma roared in his heart, then turned his grief and indignation into appetite, eating heartily. He thought to himself that next week, no matter what, he wouldn't fall for Muyue's trick again.
