Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching Chapter 376

[Disciple Uchiha Shisui diligently cultivated and achieved excellent results in the Jonin assessment, promoting to Jonin. Reward: Chakra + 2400, Ninja Tool Lottery Scroll, Unknown Pokémon Egg (Only Uchiha Shisui can hatch)]

As soon as Shisui passed the Jonin assessment and was promoted, Muyue’s system panel immediately issued the rewards.

Muyue skipped the fixed Chakra and Pokémon Egg, looking at the Ninja Tool Lottery Scroll, a reward he had never received before.

Based on the name of the lottery scroll, it should only draw ninja tools. He just didn’t know the scope of these tools, whether it was limited to the world of Naruto or included worlds beyond.

As before, Muyue first washed his hands, then clicked to draw.

[Ninja Tool Lottery Scroll consumed, obtained Ninja Tool—Bent Spoon]

Muyue’s face showed a strange expression. A bent spoon, really?

If he remembered correctly, this was an item from the Pokémon game. In the game, its effect was to increase the power of Psychic-type moves used by the Pokémon holding it by twenty percent.

[Bent Spoon: Infusing Chakra can enhance the Yin Release ninjutsu used by the wielder.]

After reading the description of the Bent Spoon, Muyue realized that while this ninja tool looked a bit abstract, its localized effect was not weak.

Directly enhancing all ninjutsu of a certain nature transformation, if the amplification was significant, it was basically equivalent to having a high-proficiency breathing method with Yin nature built-in.

After leaving the camp, Muyue took the Bent Spoon out of his system inventory. An ordinary-looking bent iron spoon appeared in Muyue’s right hand.

Muyue condensed Chakra in his left hand, then performed Yin nature transformation to strengthen his left hand with Armament Haki.

Pitch-black Armament Haki covered Muyue’s palm. Then, Muyue clenched his fist and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

The ground cracked directly under Muyue’s Armament Haki iron fist. After dirt and rocks splattered, a large pit appeared.

Next, Muyue walked to the side. This time, Muyue first injected a portion of Chakra into the Bent Spoon.

As Chakra was infused, the Bent Spoon emitted a faint blue glow. Immediately after, Muyue condensed Armament Haki again, clenched his fist, and slammed it into the ground.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded, and a larger pit appeared after Muyue’s punch.

Muyue nodded slightly. He had used the same total amount of Chakra for both attacks. In the first attack, Muyue used all his Chakra on Armament Haki, while in the second, Muyue diverted a portion of Chakra into the Bent Spoon.

Although the total Chakra used was the same, the Armament Haki enhanced by the Bent Spoon was clearly stronger.

Next, Muyue began to test the upper limit of the Bent Spoon. He fixed the Chakra value used to strengthen his fist with Armament Haki and then gradually increased the Chakra supplied to the Bent Spoon.

Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand. The last time, Muyue injected a total of thirty-five thousand Chakra into the Bent Spoon.

Finally, Muyue concluded that when the Chakra value of the reinforced ninjutsu remained unchanged, the optimal amount of Chakra to inject into the Bent Spoon was below thirty thousand. Although there was still an effect above thirty thousand, the cost-effectiveness would decrease, making it better to save some Chakra.

After Muyue’s Chakra fully recovered, he conducted another test. This time, he not only increased the output to the Bent Spoon but also continuously increased the output to Armament Haki.

The final conclusion was that as the Chakra used for the ninjutsu increased, the amplification of the Bent Spoon on Yin Release would change. The more Chakra consumed by the ninjutsu being amplified, the smaller the amplification. This could be maintained by increasing the output to the Bent Spoon. At this point, the optimal Chakra amount Muyue had previously tested would change, no longer being thirty thousand, but more.

In addition, Muyue also tested the duration of the buff. A single injection maintained the effect for ten minutes. If ninjutsu was used too frequently, the duration of the buff would be shortened.

“As expected, the reward for promoting to Jonin must include a reward strongly related to the disciple,” Muyue thought.

The Bent Spoon was very strong for ninjas skilled in Yin Release. It was also useful for an all-rounder like Muyue, but not exceptionally so.

Giving the Bent Spoon to Shisui would be like adding wings to a tiger. Most of Shisui’s strongest current abilities were related to Yin Release. Sharingan, genjutsu, and Armament Haki all had a connection to the Yin Chakra nature transformation.

…

After successfully promoting to Jonin, Uchiha Shisui swiftly returned to the battlefield.

Compared to Konoha, there were more people he cherished on the Eastern Front battlefield.

“You’re back so soon, Shisui. How was your Jonin assessment?” Obito couldn’t help but ask when Shisui returned.

At this moment, Obito’s heart was extremely conflicted. From the perspective of a family brother, Obito hoped Shisui would be successfully promoted. But as a teammate, Obito hoped Shisui would fail and continue to be a Chunin with him.

“It was alright, I passed the assessment,” Shisui finally gave the answer Obito least wanted to hear.

Uchiha Obito, ten years old, was the only Chunin among Muyue’s disciples.

“What a terrible nightmare, when did it start?” Obito believed this could absolutely not be reality. He was in a false, not a real, world.

He was Uchiha Obito, the fastest to learn the breathing method, and the first among Muyue’s disciples to comprehend the breathing method Chakra Mode. He had once been evenly matched with Might Guy, and Kakashi had also lost to him. How could he possibly be the only Chunin?

“Are you alright, Obito?” Nohara Rin asked with concern when she saw Obito suddenly spacing out and looking unwell.

Nohara Rin’s gentle voice pulled Obito out of his past thoughts.

Obito looked at the slightly worried Nohara Rin, at the calm-faced Shisui, at Kakashi who seemed to be thinking of something happy. He could no longer deny the reality that he had become the lowest-ranked ninja among Muyue’s disciples.

“I’m fine,” Obito said, shaking his head with a somewhat pale face, then forced a smile and looked at Shisui, “Congratulations, you passed on your first try, that’s great.”

How Obito wished he could also pass on his first try. That way, Kakashi wouldn’t have a chance to mock him about his ninja rank, Nohara Rin would celebrate his promotion, and he would also receive Muyue’s Jonin gift like everyone else.

“I was so foolish, I should have read more books usually,” Obito thought, wanting to cry. It was too late to regret not studying more.

“Obito, if you keep working hard, you’ll be promoted soon too,” Shisui encouraged.

Shisui wasn’t just being polite. With Might Guy as an example, Shisui believed Obito should also be able to achieve promotion through non-assessment methods.

After all, Obito wasn’t that bad. They were both renowned geniuses on the battlefield.

Obito sighed and nodded. At this point, he could only take things one step at a time. He would not contend with Kakashi until he became a Jonin, enduring until that day to settle scores.

Then, Shisui went to find Muyue, wanting to report the assessment results.

Obito and Kakashi followed along. Kakashi was preparing to ask about the training for Musou Isshin, and Obito wanted to see if Shisui would receive a summoning beast egg.

If Shisui received one, Obito would think Muyue had prepared one for each of them in advance, just waiting for their promotion to gift it.

If Shisui didn’t, Obito figured he probably wouldn’t get one either when he became a Jonin.

“The youngest Jonin in Konoha’s history, Shisui, you make me proud,” Muyue said with a satisfied smile, praising him.

Obito couldn’t help but sigh again. This handsome title would forever be out of his reach. Even if he were promoted to Jonin on the spot, he couldn’t surpass Shisui.

“It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching, Muyue-sensei,” Shisui believed the main credit belonged to Muyue.

“As an 8-year-old Jonin, you can be more confident in yourself. Don’t deny your own efforts,” Muyue smiled and shook his head, then walked into the tent.

When he emerged again, Muyue was holding a large egg.

“This is your Jonin gift. Hatch it well, it will become a good helper in the future,” Muyue handed the Pokémon egg to Shisui.

Shisui thanked him and carefully took it.

In his heart, this gift was second only to Muyue’s first birthday gift, and it was a living creature, so he had to be very careful to cherish it.

[You gifted your disciple a Pokémon egg. Due to the disciple’s immense gratitude, a great reward burst occurred, obtaining reward—Earth Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery)]

Looking at the pop-up reward information, Muyue nodded internally. In terms of rarity, Mastery-level nature transformation far surpassed Mastery-level ninjutsu or taijutsu.

There were many who had multiple Mastery-level ninjutsu or taijutsu, but fewer who had multiple Mastery-level nature transformations. If you added the condition of high proficiency, then there were even fewer.

So, even a repeated Mastery-level nature transformation reward was better than a non-repeated Mastery-level ninjutsu, as repeated acquisition could increase proficiency.

Muyue’s Earth Release nature transformation had previously reached Mastery-level through special training and grinding classes. So this reward was converted into three thousand proficiency points. The moment the conversion was complete, a large amount of Earth Release Chakra nature transformation cultivation experience surfaced in Muyue’s mind.

Obito’s hanging heart relaxed considerably. It seemed everyone would get a share.

“Hehe, Muyue-sensei, can you give me my Jonin gift early? That way it’ll hatch sooner,” Obito said jokingly.

“I don’t have any summoning beast eggs at the moment, so even if you want one, I can’t give it to you,” Muyue thought for a moment and replied.

Muyue wasn’t lying. He would only receive a Pokémon egg when Obito was promoted to Jonin.

The smile on Obito’s face instantly stiffened. Muyue didn’t seem to be joking.

“How…how could this be?” Obito became a little agitated, stuttering his words.

If there were no summoning beast eggs left, wouldn’t he be at a great disadvantage during the internal conflict, because Might Guy and the other two had all received summoning beast eggs?

“I’ll try to keep looking. Maybe there will be more when you become a Jonin,” Muyue said with a gentle smile.

Obito was greatly moved, thinking that Muyue-sensei truly loved him the most.

Even if he didn’t receive a summoning beast egg as a gift when he became a Jonin, Obito wouldn’t feel anything bad, because if Muyue had one, he would definitely give it.

Just as Obito was about to say something, the egg Kakashi had been holding suddenly emitted a fierce white light.

PS: There will be another 3k or 4k chapter later, but it will be quite late. Everyone can go to sleep and read it tomorrow.
