[Relationship established successfully, current trust level two]
[Relationship established successfully, current trust level two]
Muyue secretly nodded, seeing that both trust levels were at two. It was worth all the trouble of disguising himself as prey to entice them.
Muyue felt that trust levels were quite difficult to raise, likely requiring time to cultivate. If the trust level was only one, the initial returns would be significantly lower.
[Received skill 'Teaching' because two disciples have S-rank potential or higher]
[Teaching: Knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed]
This was a very simple and direct skill, yet powerful, as it increased the effectiveness of teaching.
Muyue tried it out and found it was a passive skill that could be toggled on and off.
However, for something without drawbacks, Muyue naturally chose to keep it on. Unless Danzo saw he was teaching well and asked him to teach at Root, then he would turn it off.
The only thing that disappointed Muyue was that the number of rewards from teaching disciples did not increase with the addition of more disciples; it remained one chance per day.
He had thought that making food for Shisui alone yielded fifty chakra, so if he cooked for three disciples every day, he would gain at least one hundred and fifty chakra a day, which would be much faster than just teaching classes. But it turned out he had thought too optimistically.
However, having three disciples, even with only one chance, was still better than just one.
This was because human emotions had a threshold; under gradual stimulation, the threshold would slowly increase, making it harder to trigger big rewards from emotional moments.
With three people, they could take turns triggering rewards, which not only increased the number of big prizes but also slowed down the growth of the emotional threshold.
"Moreover, the current growth rate is still decent," Muyue thought to himself, glancing at his status panel.
[Name: Hanyu Muyue]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 4405]
[Skills: Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, Water Style: Water Wall, Wind Style: Pressure Damage, Teaching...]
Compared to when he first transmigrated, Muyue had gained a total of one hundred and five chakra points. Ninety of those points came from teaching classes and the disciple rewards, while the remaining fifteen points were from his own training and the master-disciple feedback.
This was only Muyue's result after five days, as most of Muyue's rewards were various ninjutsu.
If Muyue had focused solely on chakra, he would have gained at least one hundred chakra just from classes in a week, not including disciple rewards or anything else.
But Muyue felt that at this stage, it was better to aim for A-rank rewards or a fifty-fifty mix of A and B-rank rewards.
The ninjutsu rewarded by the system's teaching function were learned directly, not just preliminarily, but fully mastered and ready for combat.
If it was a ninjutsu of an attribute he hadn't mastered, it even came with nature transformation. If he drew a duplicate, it would increase his experience, which was incredibly convenient.
If he had to spend time practicing those ninjutsu himself, it would consume considerable time, and figuring out cultivation methods would also be a problem.
However, once he had mastered more techniques, Muyue felt it would be better to focus more on chakra, as chakra was the foundation of a ninja.
"Teacher, I'm done!" Obito, eager to learn new ninjutsu, put in 120% effort and completed the test.
"I'm done too," Might Guy reported, not to be outdone.
"Two people, huh..." Muyue was glad this was the world of Naruto, where Clone Jutsu was quite common.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Muyue quickly formed hand signs and created a shadow clone.
Since one was learning taijutsu and the other ninjutsu, Muyue couldn't teach them together, so he had to create a shadow clone.
He planned for his main body to teach Obito ninjutsu, while the clone explained to Might Guy.
After half an hour of teaching, they would swap roles, with the main body teaching Might Guy and the clone teaching Obito. Muyue wouldn't be just one person's confidant teacher; he would bestow his warmth upon every disciple.
Muyue, just like when he taught Shisui, meticulously broke down and explained everything, practically teaching them hand-in-hand.
[You taught your disciple Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu. Due to the disciple's immense gratitude, the reward was a critical hit, granting you Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu (Proficient level)]
Muyue fell into thought. He remembered teaching Shisui the Great Dragon Fire as well, so why wasn't that counted as a disciple reward back then?
He thought of a possible reason: his Great Dragon Fire came from Shisui's reward. Perhaps a reward gained from a specific disciple couldn't be used to trigger further disciple rewards from the same disciple.
Muyue silently noted this hidden rule.
"Please don't be that forty-four hand sign Water Dragon Bullet," Muyue couldn't help but inwardly grumble, recalling Kakashi and Zabuza's Water Dragon Bullet.
While it might look cool to perform such a long string of hand signs in anime, in reality, a jutsu requiring so many signs would be very difficult to execute, unless someone was there to distract the opponent for you.
The system's proficient level didn't disappoint Muyue; he only needed six hand signs, and with continued practice, the more proficient he became, the further he could simplify the hand signs.
After teaching Obito for half an hour, Muyue went to Might Guy to give him pointers, sending the clone to teach Obito.
After teaching both of them, he would also go to instruct Shisui, constantly moving between the three.
By noon, Muyue personally caught four fish from the river, then started a fire and roasted them, one for each, as their lunch.
"So delicious! Teacher Muyue, if you opened a barbecue restaurant, it would definitely be a hit!" Obito praised while eating.
Shisui and Might Guy nodded in agreement.
"Be careful, all of you, don't swallow any fish bones," Muyue said with a chuckle, shaking his head.
Delicious? Muyue thought it was probably quite ordinary because he genuinely wasn't skilled at barbecuing and rarely did it.
The reason they found it delicious was partly due to the good atmosphere enhancing their senses.
Shisui usually ate alone at home and probably rarely ate with so many people, especially outdoors.
Obito usually ate with his grandmother, and Might Guy with his father.
Coupled with the novelty of not having eaten this kind of grilled fish before, all these factors combined made the otherwise ordinary grilled fish taste delicious.
After eating and resting for an hour, Muyue led the three to continue their training.
"Actually, this ninjutsu isn't that hard after all," Obito said, full of accomplishment as he looked at the chubby fire dragon he had released. This was much smoother than his previous Great Fireball training.
Coincidentally, Shisui was also practicing Great Dragon Fire and released a fire dragon.
Looking at Shisui's ferocious, fanged, and imposing fire dragon, Obito silently controlled his own adorable little fire dragon to hide behind him.
Might Guy, who had kicked countless whirlwind kicks, was about to stop and rest when he happened to witness this scene.
Perhaps due to their shared struggles that morning, Might Guy walked over and comforted him, "It's okay, the fire dragon is small and cute. It'll become as strong as Teacher Muyue's sooner or later".
Although it was meant as comfort, for some reason, Obito felt an inexplicable sense of injustice that made him very uncomfortable.
This feeling of vexation instantly re-energized Obito, who had been about to rest, and he immediately resumed training the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu.
Seeing Obito's drive, Might Guy, not wanting to be left behind, also quickly resumed training after a short rest.
"These two are quite a match," Muyue, who had been observing from the side, almost couldn't keep a straight face. He found that Obito and Might Guy together were really something.
After training until dinner time, Muyue sent them all home, telling them to continue tomorrow.
On Sunday, they trained all day again, and the disciple reward yielded fifty chakra points.
Then a new week begins again…
