"Night, this is Lord Danzo's latest instruction." A Root Ninja handed Muzuki a scroll.
Muzuki nodded, taking the scroll. Night was his codename in Root.
The two didn't exchange many words; the Root Ninja quickly vanished after handing the scroll to Muzuki. Muzuki was considered a hidden piece of Root, and too much contact being discovered by Anbu would not be good.
Before the Root Ninja left, Muzuki gave him an appraisal.
Name: Hirata Iro
Potential: B
Chakra: 7000
Evaluation: A Jonin with some strength
Looking at the high Chakra amount of seven thousand, Muzuki couldn't help but feel a little envious. He didn't even have five thousand, differing from him by five six-year-old Shisui.
Once his sensing Ninjutsu could no longer detect the Root Ninja, Muzuki entered his room and opened the scroll to see what latest order Danzo had issued.
"Uchiha Shisui in your class is a genius of the Uchiha Clan. Observe his actions, confirm his personality, and evaluate him."
After reading, Muzuki sighed with emotion. Danzo's apprehension towards the Uchiha was truly nearing pathological levels.
Shisui was only six years old this year, having just started Ninja Academy.
For such a child, merely because he had a slight reputation as a genius within his clan, Danzo wanted him to observe and evaluate him.
Of course, it also couldn't be ruled out that Danzo had ideas about Shisui, wanting to recruit him into Root.
However, Muzuki didn't believe Danzo's idea could be realized, as the Third Hokage would let Danzo know who the Hokage truly was.
The Third Hokage could tolerate the existence of Root but could not tolerate the existence of an overly powerful Root.
The potential of a genius Uchiha was too high; who knew to what extent he could grow.
So, genius Uchiha either stayed obediently within the Uchiha Clan or joined Anbu.
After reading it, Muzuki used Fire Release to destroy the scroll.
This new instruction was within Muzuki's acceptable range. In fact, even if Danzo hadn't specifically sent someone, Muzuki would have reported that Shisui was a genius when making his report.
Because Muzuki felt that with Danzo's attention to the Uchiha, concealment was meaningless and would only draw trouble to himself.
Muzuki created a Shadow Clone to practice Ninjutsu, while his main body began training to increase his Chakra.
Currently, Chakra was his biggest weakness. No matter how many Ninjutsu he learned or how proficient he became, without enough Chakra, it would be difficult to unleash their full power.
A Ninja with little Chakra, no matter how strong, had limited strength, and a Ninja with abundant Chakra, no matter how weak, couldn't be too weak. It could be said that Chakra determined a Ninja's upper and lower limits.
…
The next day.
Since he didn't have classes this morning, Muzuki took the opportunity to visit the Ninja Academy's archives.
He wanted to organize the Fourth Grade exam papers from recent years. As the process went smoothly, he also found the First Grade ones.
His main purpose was to take on disciples, but improving their theoretical scores was also not an empty promise.
Muzuki studied them and found that the exam questions each year didn't differ much. Each question was of a certain type, just rephrased or with different data. Some papers even had identical questions.
Muzuki nodded, confident that the two would pass.
He felt that they didn't even need to do extensive practice; just having them do the past two years' papers should be enough to pass.
Muzuki took a few papers and left the archives, heading to the office.
"Yesterday, she kept listening to me talk, clearly she's very interested in me!"
"Is there a possibility that she simply didn't want to talk to you?"
"Yesterday, when it came to paying, she even offered to split the bill, she's already thinking of me!"
"Is there a possibility that she was afraid you'd use the 'I'll treat you next time' excuse to ask her out again?"
As soon as Muzuki entered the office, he saw Ueda Aya rebutting Ikegaya Yu.
Muzuki looked at Kimura Sugito, who was watching the show nearby.
"Yesterday, Yu went on a blind date, right? He was just talking about his blind date process and wanted us to help him come up with ideas to pursue her, but Ueda thinks his date isn't interested in him and advised him to find someone else." Kimura Sugito briefly explained the cause and effect of the situation.
"Hayate-sensei, you've come just in time. Do you have any special techniques for pursuing girls?" Ikegaya Yu, seeing Muzuki arrive, didn't bother arguing with Ueda Aya and quickly asked.
He felt that Muzuki looked like someone who had many girlfriends.
"Special techniques… I think as long as you let the other person feel your sincerity, that should be enough, right?" Muzuki thought for a moment and said.
Whether there were techniques or not was another matter, and even if Muzuki had them, he wouldn't tell Ikegaya Yu. That didn't fit the persona he was trying to project.
"Sincerity…" Ikegaya Yu showed a troubled expression. How was he supposed to make the other person feel that?
"Give up, Ikegaya. You don't even look at how Hayate-sensei looks. Techniques that work for him might not work for you." Ueda Aya said faintly.
"How could that be? I admit Hayate-sensei is a little bit more handsome than me, but it's not that big of a difference, is it?" Ikegaya Yu said, unconvinced.
"You really won't turn back until you hit a wall." Ueda Aya looked at the stubborn Ikegaya Yu with a headache.
She herself was a woman, so how could she not understand women? After hearing Ikegaya Yu's words, she knew that this blind date was a bust, but Ikegaya Yu just wouldn't believe it.
"Keep it up." Muzuki smiled encouragingly. What else could he say? Even his friend Ueda Aya couldn't persuade him.
Moreover, Muzuki genuinely hoped Ikegaya Yu would be busy, so he could substitute teach in Class 2, Grade 4 again.
"Muzuki-sensei still has good judgment. Ueda, just you wait and see." With Muzuki's encouragement, Ikegaya Yu's confidence grew even stronger.
During the afternoon class, Muzuki made a small attempt; he deliberately lowered the quality of his lecture.
He deduced from the previous system evaluation that the lecture rating should be divided into two main parts: the quality of the lecture content and student satisfaction.
He wanted to obtain a B-rank evaluation, because there was an extra reward the first time he received an A-rank evaluation.
By analogy, the first time he received a B-rank evaluation should also come with an extra reward.
Lecture completed, settling now.
Evaluation: B
Reward obtained: Chakra + 20
First time completing a B-rank teaching evaluation, reward obtained — Proficient in Chakra Form Transformation.
A large amount of memories of him cultivating Chakra Form Transformation instantly appeared in Muzuki's mind.
Muzuki was pleasantly surprised. In the Chakra system, Form Transformation existed on par with Nature Transformation. Both could effectively enhance Ninjutsu.
Although Form Transformation was only proficient and not mastered, it wasn't limited by Chakra attributes.
Speaking of Form Transformation, one must mention Naruto's Rasengan, which he continuously created. Rasengan can be called the representative Ninjutsu of Form Transformation, possessing great power without the need to incorporate Nature Transformation.
"I can start developing Rasengan now." Muzuki planned to develop this useful A-rank, hand-seal-less Ninjutsu himself. With the detailed training process from the original work, plus his knowledge of Form Transformation, the process shouldn't be too difficult.
The Chakra gained from the B-rank evaluation also gave Muzuki another consideration for future classes, feeling that he could appropriately aim for some B-rank evaluations in the future. Although the amount given at one time wasn't much, it would accumulate over time.
Adding Rasengan development to his schedule, Muzuki found his current life to be exceptionally fulfilling.
During the day, he taught classes, in the evening he guided Shisui, at night he cultivated and developed Ninjutsu, and on weekends he gave special training to Might Guy and Obito. His schedule was completely packed.
Muzuki really wanted to maintain such a peaceful life and develop steadily for a few years.
Unfortunately, he hadn't transmigrated to a good time, so it was destined to be difficult for him to enjoy a quiet life.
On the fourth day of Muzuki's transmigration to the Ninja World, some bad news came back to Konoha from the front lines.
There's one more chapter after 8 PM.
