Ninja School Teacher, I Can Become Stronger by Teaching - Chapter 71
“Guy, congratulations on taking first place in your grade,” Mokutsuki said with a warm smile.
Looking at Mokutsuki’s smile, as warm as the spring sun, Might Guy felt a bit dazed.
He had always been a confident person, always believing that through relentless training, he could become the strongest.
Even though he hadn’t graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, he had faced many failures and setbacks—failing the entrance exam and only getting in through supplementary admissions, being called dead last because of his poor grades, being instantly defeated by Kakashi in their first challenge…
Most of the time, he laughed it off and continued to work hard, occasionally having doubts but quickly reaffirming his goals.
Despite all that, Might Guy hadn’t expected such a swift turnaround.
Last semester, he couldn’t even rank in the top twenty in the practical exams, but this semester, his worst performance was second place, and he topped the final practical exam, becoming the strongest in the fourth grade.
He knew very well who brought about this change—Mokutsuki.
Mokutsuki taught him taijutsu and gave him precious secret medicines. It was Mokutsuki who helped him grow so much in such a short time.
“This is all thanks to your guidance, Mokutsuki-sensei!” Might Guy said, clenching his right fist, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.
“Don’t downplay your own efforts. My guidance was effective, but your diligent training was the key to you taking first place. Keep working hard, and you’ll definitely achieve your dreams,” Mokutsuki encouraged.
Might Guy was so inspired by Mokutsuki’s words that he felt like he could already see the day he would become the strongest in taijutsu, wanting to start doing push-ups right then and there.
“This is the training method and experience for Soru. Take it home and study it. I’ll teach you how to train with it tomorrow morning,” Mokutsuki said with a smile, handing a scroll to Might Guy.
[You gave your disciple the training scroll for Soru. The disciple is hugely grateful, and you receive a vast reward: Konoha Dragon God (Mastery)]
Under the enormous emotional impact, Mokutsuki directly received a high-level taijutsu with a mastery level. A vast amount of training memories about the Konoha Dragon God appeared in his mind.
“Oh, it’s this taijutsu. I can’t teach it to students for now,” Mokutsuki recalled the original manga’s details about this technique.
In the anime, this taijutsu was a high-level technique developed by a taijutsu ninja named Chen-sensei. According to the storyline, even Chen-sensei’s own disciples hadn’t mastered the Konoha Dragon God yet, so having someone else use it would be a bit odd.
Even without copyright issues, Mokutsuki didn’t plan to teach this taijutsu to his disciples. The technique demanded a high level of physical strength and chakra, making it unsuitable for their current level.
“Understood, Mokutsuki-sensei. I’ll study it carefully at home,” Might Guy replied gratefully.
He had longed to learn this instant movement technique called Soru ever since he saw Mokutsuki teaching it to Shisui. So when Mokutsuki handed him the training scroll, Might Guy treasured it immediately.
“Take a break from training at my place today. Relax and do something you want to do,” Mokutsuki said thoughtfully, planning Might Guy’s following training tasks.
He had encouraged Obito to aim for first place in the grade, but Might Guy had yet to receive a new training task.
Undoubtedly, training tasks were crucial for gaining rewards. Once completed, they yielded significant chakra and high-level rewards.
So, two weeks before the final exams, Mokutsuki started thinking about how to trigger new training tasks after the first one was completed.
For the students who didn’t take first place, it was simple: encourage and motivate them to aim for first place again.
For the student who did take first place, use their personality, goals, and dreams to guide them into triggering new training tasks.
In Might Guy’s case, Mokutsuki thought that having him aim to defeat Kakashi would be a good task and relatively easy to trigger. So, he suggested that Might Guy do something he wanted to do.
Having made such great strides and taken first place, it was only natural to challenge his best friend and rival.
Once Might Guy was defeated by Kakashi, it would be the perfect time to inspire a new training task.
Although a similar attempt had failed before, only triggering a task to create a training plan, Mokutsuki believed the problem wasn’t with his approach; it was just that the trust level wasn’t high enough back then, and Might Guy didn’t fully understand his abilities.
After all, a task had been triggered, just not the one he had envisioned.
Might Guy nodded, deciding to find Kakashi later.
Since starting his intense training, Might Guy hadn’t fought Kakashi, and he was itching for a battle.
After treating Obito, Mokutsuki returned to practicing sealing techniques, studying the knowledge Kushina had given him.
Ten days he had passed since Kushina taught him the Three-Finger Seal. In fact, he had initially mastered it by the sixth day, and the remaining time was spent refining it and learning more about sealing techniques.
As he delved deeper into sealing techniques, Mokutsuki discovered some interesting mechanisms within them.
With the same amount of chakra, the smaller the effect of the sealing technique, the more secure and unbreakable the seal.
Take the One-Finger Seal, for instance. Its effect is to seal all chakra in the body, making it extremely easy to break.
But if the One-Finger Seal’s effect is modified to seal the chakra in a specific limb, its durability would significantly increase.
Without altering the sealing effect, more chakra always results in a more robust seal.
The Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, capable of sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, is arguably the most robust sealing technique in the Naruto world, but it also has excellent limitations, requiring the Six Paths Yin-Yang power to activate.
Mokutsuki had a rough idea of why the Uzumaki clan had such an innate talent for sealing techniques—they naturally possessed strong chakra.
“Chakra is everything,” Mokutsuki deeply felt the importance of having a large amount of chakra.
Luckily, he had a cheat-like ability upon transmigrating. Even with the advantage of knowing the storyline, it would have been easier to stand firm in the ninja world.
“With the holiday approaching, the rate of chakra increase might slow down,” Mokutsuki thought.
During the summer break, apart from the rewards from the exam in two days, Mokutsuki temporarily would need a way to farm chakra and ninjutsu from the Ninja Academy.
Classes were a significant source of chakra income. If he used a month’s worth of classes solely to farm chakra without learning ninjutsu, he could accumulate nearly eight hundred chakra.
The advantage of not having classes was that Might Guy and Obito could spend more time training with him, accelerating their growth and potentially increasing the amount of chakra they returned to him through their progress.
In the evening, after buying fish, Mokutsuki returned to his home in the central district. Today, he planned to make a delicious and visually appealing new dish for Kushina and Minato.
Please give me your votes, follow the updates, and there will be extra updates on Monday as a final effort.
