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

Chapter 49: How Did You Know I Got First Place?



Ikeya Yuu stood behind Kimura Sanjin, massaging his shoulders and back with a fawning expression, and said in a flattering tone:

"Sanjin, lend me another eighty thousand ryo, please? I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

Kimura Sanjin thought to himself,

as expected, unsolicited courtesies indicate ulterior motives. This massage service was quite expensive.

"Why do you need to borrow again? Didn't you borrow last month?" Kimura Sanjin sighed helplessly.

"I paid you back last month when I got my salary, didn't I?" Ikeya Yuu chuckled.

"So you borrow this month, then you have to pay it back, and because you paid it back, you'll have no money next month, so you'll have to borrow again next month, won't you?" Kimura Sanjin asked.

If he kept thinking like this, he'd practically become Ikeya Yuu's personal eighty-thousand-ryo ATM.

"Uh..." Ikeya Yuu was speechless for a moment.

"It's not what you're thinking, Sanjin. It's mainly because we just met recently, so I have to put in some effort to show sincerity. I definitely won't borrow next month," Ikeya Yuu tried to explain.

"You said it yourself, don't forget." Kimura Sanjin finally took out his wallet, pulled out eighty thousand ryo, and handed it to Ikeya Yuu.

He didn't mind the eighty thousand ryo, because although Ikeya Yuu wasn't like a normal person when it came to relationships, he was otherwise good and would always pay back.

Kimura Sanjin just felt that lending money to Ikeya Yuu was harming him, making him fall deeper and deeper.

"Not borrowing next month? Kimura, you think too highly of him. I can already foresee his excuse for next month," Ueda Aya remained pessimistic about this.

Then she mimicked Ikeya Yuu's tone and said : "Sanjin, just lend me one last time. I feel like I can confess successfully this month. I definitely won't borrow next month."

Ikeya Yuu: ...

"If it's a first date, going to a nice restaurant to leave a good impression is understandable, but you two have been together for two months now. If she genuinely cares about you, she wouldn't refuse if you asked her to eat ramen with you," Ueda Aya tried to awaken Ikeya Yuu's dormant intelligence.

"And can't you choose a time yourself? You always have to make Muyue-sensei substitute for you," Ueda Aya said, looking at Muyue who had just entered.

"She said she's not free at other times. It's either this day, or we reschedule for when she's free next," Ikeya Yuu said, feeling a bit annoyed.

He was also very embarrassed to always trouble Muyue. Ikeya Yuu even wanted to substitute for Muyue to offset it, but Muyue always refused.

"It's fine, I'm just idle anyway. Teaching more students can also hone my abilities," Muyue said with a smile as he walked to his desk.

"Muyue-sensei is really too kind. It's just that this personality makes him easily taken advantage of," Ikeya Yuu couldn't help but sigh in his heart upon hearing Muyue's words.

Feeling a bit indebted, Ikeya Yuu couldn't help but go over to Muyue's side to pour him tea and say some flattering words.

Ikeya Yuu left the office when it was almost time, heading home to change for his date.

"If only Ikeya Yuu were the taijutsu teacher for Class 1-1," Muyue thought to himself.

In that case, there would be no need to change teachers. If Ikeya Yuu asked him to substitute a bit more frequently, it would be no different from him being the taijutsu teacher himself.

Directly applying to the Third Hokage to become the taijutsu teacher for Class 1-1 would be against common sense. Why would a normal person be so proactive in filling up their schedule?

It would also cause a problem with his persona. If others ask you to substitute, and you help, you're a good person. But what are you doing actively trying to take over classes?

"I still need to approach this from the perspective of student dissatisfaction and the taijutsu teacher's own teaching level," Muyue thought to himself.

The most important thing at the Ninja Academy was strength. If the students and school leadership knew that the taijutsu teacher's instruction would affect strength growth, it would be much easier.

Muyue continued to practice calligraphy until it was almost class time.

When Muyue walked into the classroom for Class 4-2, the students were already somewhat accustomed to it.

Muyue taught them once a week consistently, and they had already started treating Muyue as their homeroom teacher.

"Sensei, I..."

Obito was late as usual. Muyue didn't say anything and let Obito sit down and listen to the lecture.

"Damn it, Ikeya-sensei!" Obito complained in a low voice, feeling that Ikeya Yuu always asked Muyue to substitute at the wrong time.

"Did you encounter an elderly person who needed help?" Rin Nohara asked.

"I didn't today. I forgot the time while picking out brushes at the bookstore," Obito answered honestly.

"Why didn't you pick them out after school in the afternoon? Lunchtime is so short. You didn't skip lunch, did you?" Rin Nohara was a bit confused.

"It's fine to skip one meal. I'll just eat more tonight. The main thing is that I've been to a lot of shops recently, and I felt that the one at noon today was the best," Obito replied.

"Honestly, what could be more important than eating? I still have some snacks; I'll give them to you after class," Rin Nohara said helplessly.

Obito nodded and didn't chat with Rin Nohara anymore; he had to listen to Muyue's class.

Forty minutes quickly passed. When the dismissal bell rang, Muyue announced the end of class, and Rin Nohara handed the snacks to Obito.

"Obito, how many people did you help today..." A classmate who was familiar with Obito came over to tease him.

"How did you know I got first place in the Junior Ninjutsu Tournament over the weekend?" Obito said, preempting him.

When Obito said that, the person's teasing words got stuck. It felt like he had a lemon in his mouth—eight thousand ryo in prize money!

Uchiha Tekka, not far away, also fell silent.

He still remembered the Great Fireball Jutsu Obito used in the match. He had originally thought that with the lesson from the last match, he might be able to defeat Obito if he paid attention to the Great Dragon Fire next time.

As a result, a single Junior Ninjutsu Tournament completely shattered his confidence.

Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Obito's smile became very bright.

After that, Obito went out for a stroll during every break, asking everyone he met, "How did you know I got first place?" maximizing the benefits of his victory.

[Lecture Completed]

[Rating: A]

[Reward: Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu]

Seeing the lecture reward, Muyue nodded to himself. This was a ninjutsu that, while not high-ranked, was very practical.

The mist created by this ninjutsu was not ordinary mist; it could obscure the Sharingan's vision. When used by Mei Terumi, the Hidden Mist Jutsu could even interfere with Madara's Rinnegan to some extent.

It was quite useful in the early stages before overpowered ninjas appeared.

After school, Muyue went directly to the Southern Forest.

When Muyue arrived, Shisui was still training there.

Shisui followed Muyue's advice and now always attended school using a Shadow Clone, while his main body trained with Muyue's Shadow Clone.

Muyue didn't wait long before Might Guy arrived.

However, what surprised Muyue was that Obito hadn't arrived even fifteen minutes after Might Guy.

Because he often had to walk part of the way with Rin, although they were in the same class, Obito rarely set off with Might Guy to this location.

However, being more than fifteen minutes late was also rare.

Muyue felt it was time for a lecture; he didn't want him to develop a habit of being late for training too.

"Sorry, Muyue-sensei, I'm late," Obito said, jogging up to Muyue with a long box in his hand.
