Capítulo 27: Chapter 27: What to Do About the Cunning Sensei
After completing the tutoring task, Mutsuki did not return to the Southern Forest but instead went to his house in the main city area.
Mutsuki quickly cooked two dishes to solve dinner and then went out for a walk. After all, he couldn't wait for friendship at home.
After walking for a while, Mutsuki finally encountered Minato and Kushina in a nearby park.
The two were sitting on a park bench, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting.
"Yumi," Minato greeted Mutsuki when he saw him.
"Are you also here for a walk in the park?" Minato asked.
Mutsuki nodded, sat down on a nearby chair, and said, "Just finished dinner, taking a walk to digest."
"Yumi, Minato said you're an Academy sensei?" Kushina curiously asked.
In her circle of friends, there really wasn't anyone who had been an Academy sensei.
"Ah, I just started this year," Mutsuki replied with a smile.
"Started this year, Yumi, you must have trained a very talented class," Minato said, somewhat surprised.
Kushina looked at Minato with some confusion.
"Yesterday in the office, Lord Third mentioned that Yumi's teaching level is very high. He even wanted to hire Mutsuki as a private tutor for their family," Minato explained.
"To receive such praise from Lord Third, even though just started this year, you must have outstanding teaching achievements."
"Wow, did Lord Third praise you like that?" Kushina was also surprised.
Although she had mixed feelings about Sarutobi Hiruzen, she still acknowledged his judgment.
"Well, it's also because the students work hard enough on their own," Mutsuki humbly said, then continued:
"Minato-san is the impressive one, becoming a Jonin at such a young age and becoming an important figure in the village."
"Hehe, that's right. Our Minato is the strongest," Kushina said with full agreement.
"However, I'm a Jonin too," Kushina laughed.
Mutsuki showed a surprised expression and then praised, "Kushina-san is impressive too."
"You really know how to talk, Yumi." Kushina looked at Mutsuki more favorably. If her good friend Uchiha Mikoto hadn't already married, she would consider introducing Mutsuki to her.
Look at what a great man he is—handsome like Minato and strong enough to earn Lord Third's praise.
After chatting for a while, Mutsuki took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
Those two lovebirds were taking a walk together, and if he stayed too long, it wouldn't be appropriate. One must be mindful and gradually establish a persona.
...
The next day, Mutsuki continued training Obito, Might Guy, and the others until noon. In the afternoon, he went to Sarutobi Hiruzen's house to teach Asuma and took him to the riverside from the day before.
"I'm too tired today, don't feel like training," Asuma said directly, leaning back on a tree stump, looking like he was ready to take a nap.
He had already silently resolved in his heart that no matter how Mutsuki tried to provoke him later, he would not be moved.
"Want to sleep?" Mutsuki smiled at Asuma.
The smile was gentle and soothing, much better than his old man at home, but Asuma had a bad feeling.
"Yeah, didn't sleep well last night. Is that not allowed?" Asuma said stubbornly.
Surprisingly, Mutsuki nodded in agreement, saying, "Yeah, today is perfect with the sunshine and gentle breeze. It's indeed good weather for a nap."
Then Mutsuki stretched lazily, leaning back on the tree stump, looking relaxed as he said, "Being a private tutor is really nice. Lie down, take a nap, and wake up having earned a hundred thousand ryo"
After saying that, Mutsuki closed his eyes and leaned his head on the tree stump, looking as if he was ready to sleep.
"Wait, did you say a hundred thousand ryo?" Asuma's eyes widened instantly, asking Mutsuki.
"Why are you making so much noise? Are you sleeping or not?" Mutsuki didn't even open his eyes, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
"Don't sleep yet, quickly explain the hundred thousand ryo part" Asuma shook Mutsuki's body.
"What else could it be? Of course, it's the money for tutoring you," Mutsuki opened his eyes and began to earnestly talk nonsense.
"Do you think I'm doing unpaid labor? Even if it's the Hokage asking for tutoring, it comes with a cost. My fees are quite high. Teaching you, it's twenty-five thousand ryo per hour. If I teach for four hours a day, that's naturally a hundred thousand ryo."
"Is your mouth made of gold? That's so expensive!" Asuma was shocked to learn that Mutsuki could earn twenty-five thousand ryo in just one hour with him. Considering that Asuma's monthly pocket money was only fifty thousand ryo during his school days, and that was considered on the higher side.
Mutsuki only needed to teach him for two hours to earn his entire month's pocket money!
"You can inquire about the name Mutsuki Yumi at the Academy, and you'll know whether it's worth the price," Mutsuki said calmly.
"But why haven't I heard your name before?" Asuma felt like he might be getting tricked.
"Because I joined after you graduated," Mutsuki said and then closed his eyes again, preparing to sleep.
Seeing Mutsuki about to sleep again, Asuma instantly felt heartache. This was a tutoring session that cost twenty-five thousand ryo per hour.
"Don't sleep; let's start training," Asuma hastily shouted, afraid that Mutsuki might fall asleep and not wake up.
"Wasn't it you who said you didn't sleep well yesterday and were tired, wanting to sleep? Now you're not tired?" Mutsuki opened his eyes and smiled at Asuma.
Looking at Mutsuki's expression, Asuma knew he had been tricked.
But he had no choice. This was a tutoring session worth twenty-five thousand ryo per hour. If Mutsuki really fell asleep here, not only would Asuma be unable to sleep now, but he wouldn't be able to sleep at night either.
"I'm rested now, let's start training," Asuma said with a stern face.
He was planning to complain to his mother, saying that hiring such an expensive tutor was a waste of money, especially when there were Jonin level senseis available.
"Alright then, today we'll continue practicing Chakra control. The goal for today is to stay afloat on water for fifteen minutes," Mutsuki stood up and said with a smile.
The training was the same as yesterday, with Asuma striving to stay on the water's surface while Mutsuki interfered from the shore using Water Release jutsu.
Asuma was just as motivated today as he was yesterday, but yesterday's motivation was to defy his old man, and today's motivation was the exorbitant tutoring fee that Mutsuki had mentioned!
...
During dinner, Asuma directly complained to Biwako, stating that Sarutobi Hiruzen was spending recklessly, hiring a tutor for twenty-five thousand ryo per hour.
Biwako was also astonished by the exorbitant tutoring fee, four hours for a hundred thousand ryo. Keep in mind that some B-rank missions pay around a hundred thousand ryo, equivalent to a solo B-rank mission for four hours.
"Huh? Are you talking about Yumi? How is that possible? His tutoring fee is two thousand ryo per hour," Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment, then chuckled.
"Two thousand ryo?" Asuma looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a skeptical gaze.
"Of course, it's two thousand ryo. Where did you hear twenty-five thousand ryo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen confirmed.
Looking at his old man's face, Asuma realized he had been deceived by Mutsuki.
"Argh, that darn Mutsuki Yumi!" Asuma roared in his heart, then turned his sorrow and anger into appetite, eating heartily. In his mind, he vowed not to fall for Mutsuki's schemes next week, no matter what.
