Watching Mutsuki's incredibly swift and clean Whirlwind Kick, Might Guy's eyes lit up instantly. He felt like he had encountered a dreamlike technique, fulfilling all his fantasies about Taijutsu.
Simple, fast, powerful, and handsome.
"I like it, be sure to teach me this one when the time comes!" Might Guy expressed his satisfaction with Konoha's Whirlwind with full enthusiasm.
"As long as you like it," Mutsuki smiled and nodded.
Might Guy's reaction was within Mutsuki's expectations. After all, this Taijutsu was developed by Might Guy himself in the future, and he even created a whole series, including techniques like Big Whirlwind and Just Whirlwind. It would be strange if Might Guy didn't like it.
With Mutsuki's assurance, both Obito and Might Guy were very pleased. Even the exams, which they usually found extremely troublesome, seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
"Watch as I unleash all my firepower, this time I'm definitely taking on more than four!" Obito exclaimed, excitedly rubbing his hands together. If someone didn't know better, they might think he was gearing up for a battle.
"It must be more than three, or else tonight, we'll run five hundred laps around Konoha!" Might Guy, determined to master the dreamlike technique, got serious and resorted to self-discipline.
He planned to challenge Kakashi once he learned this Taijutsu, testing how much his skills had improved.
However, the sudden enthusiasm faded quickly. After attempting a few problems, Obito understood a harsh truth.
If pushed, he might unleash a bigger Great Fireball or accurately throw five Shuriken in a single breath. But when it came to exam questions, no amount of urgency seemed to help.
Propping his head with one hand, the other hand playing with the pen in various poses, Obito, frustrated and distracted, couldn't stand even the swaying leaves, feeling like they were mocking his inability to solve the problems.
Unable to resist, Obito glanced at Might Guy beside him.
Although Obito has been classmates with Might Guy for over three years and shares Kakashi as a mutual friend, their relationship is quite ordinary.
They are not strangers, but they can't be called friends either; they are more like friends of friends, coincidentally being in the same class.
When thinking about Might Guy, the first thing that comes to mind is being at the bottom of the class.
Even though he is also labeled as such, Obito believes that he is just somewhat specialized. His Ninjutsu and Shuriken throwing skills are decent, but his theoretical knowledge is particularly lacking.
It's just that the other Uchiha are too outstanding, excelling in every subject, making him, an imperfect Uchiha, seem like he's lagging behind.
Might Guy, on the other hand, is different. He's not good in theory, and his Ninjutsu is lacking. He ranks near the bottom in most subjects, widely recognized as the class "tail-ender."
However, at this moment, Might Guy is displaying more patience than Obito, diligently tackling difficult problems even when it's making him scratch his head in frustration.
Obito recalls a bold declaration Might Guy made once when he was being mocked.
"I believe that with this kind of effort, I will surely become the strongest Taijutsu Ninja in the future!"
Although Obito wasn't among those mocking him, when he heard these words, he didn't think much of it. He didn't believe Might Guy could become the so-called strongest in Taijutsu.
But now, his perspective has changed a bit. Whether or not Might Guy can become the strongest Taijutsu Ninja is uncertain, but he should be considerably stronger than those who mocked him.
"Becoming friends with him might not be a bad idea," Obito muttered. This way, they could team up against that annoying Kakashi.
Watching Might Guy diligently working on problems, Obito also started writing with determination, brainstorming.
Observing this scene, Mutsuki showed a pensive expression. He hadn't expected that these two individuals together could create such a chemical reaction. Obito, who was usually impatient and restless, was influenced enough to calm down and focus on the questions.
In the future, similar methods could be used to motivate Obito to train.
Once the two finished, Mutsuki helped them correct their work.
Obito got three correct, and Might Guy got two.
"Sigh, still not up to four; I've done my best," Obito slumped on the desk, looking exhausted.
"Tonight, add another five hundred laps to the run," Might Guy incorporated the punishment for failure into his training plan.
Seeing this, Mutsuki consoled, "You're only five questions away from passing, and you've progressed one question in just an hour. Thinking about it this way, isn't it much better?"
As Obito and Might Guy pondered, it seemed to make sense. Success and mastering Ninjutsu were within reach.
After offering comfort, Mutsuki, with a smiling expression, once again took out two exam papers.
Looking at the fresh papers on the desk, Obito, considering the three weekends left before the exam, couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
But he had no choice but to pick up the pen and continue, because giving up now would mean the previous papers were done in vain.
Meanwhile, Shisui, having restored his Chakra, started another round of Fire Release practice. Fire dragons danced in the sky, capturing Obito's attention once again.
"Yumi-sensei, after learning your Ninjutsu, are we considered your disciples like Shisui?" Obito thought for a moment and asked.
"If you want it that way, then sure," Mutsuki replied ambiguously.
"Hehe, since we're eventually going to be disciples, why not teach us now, sensei?" Obito, at wit's end, revealed his true intention.
Mutsuki looked at him skeptically. Although it was the result of his deliberate setup, Obito's eagerness seemed a bit too hasty.
Obito patted his chest and assured, "Mutsuki-sensei, it's not that I don't want to study; I just think these two can be done simultaneously."
After saying this, Obito pulled Might Guy beside him and asked, "Guy, you agree, right?"
"Sensei, I think Obito is right," Might Guy chimed in, eager to learn Konoha Whirlwind early to challenge Kakashi.
"What if you both don't pass when the time comes?" Mutsuki didn't hastily agree but posed a counter-question.
"When the time comes, sensei, we'll follow your lead. I trust you for sure," Obito still had confidence in passing.
"Me too," Might Guy nodded in agreement.
"Alright then..." Mutsuki wore a conflicted expression, seemingly hesitating about something.
"Mutsuki-sensei, just trust me. I'll study hard with you and won't let you down," Obito continued eagerly when he saw a chance.
"Same here," Might Guy added, clenching his fist to emphasize his commitment.
"Well, I believe you can live up to your words. Once you finish this paper, I'll teach you both the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu and Konoha Whirlwind," Mutsuki looked convinced.
"That's great! I always knew you're the best, Mutsuki-sensei. I won't disappoint your trust," Obito exclaimed excitedly.
He felt today was indeed his lucky day—improving his theoretical scores and gaining an impressive sensei for free. Quite a catch.
"Mutsuki-sensei, I will definitely work hard to master your Taijutsu!" Might Guy declared earnestly.
He also felt fortunate today, encountering someone willing to be his sensei and teach him Taijutsu.
[Establish a mentor-disciple relationship with Uchiha Obito]
[Establish a mentor-disciple relationship with Might Guy]
Looking at the two pop-up windows, Mutsuki displayed a satisfied smile. 'I wonder who's lucky here.'

[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]
[Relationship established successfully, current trust level: 2]
Looking at the trust level being 2, Mutsuki secretly nodded. It was not in vain that he went to great lengths to disguise himself as prey to lure others.
Mutsuki felt that it was quite difficult to raise the trust level; it seemed to require time to grind. If it were trust level 1, the early gains would be considerably lower.
[Two disciples with S or higher potential, gained the skill Teaching]
[Teaching: Knowledge you impart is more easily absorbed]
A very straightforward but powerful skill, enhancing the effectiveness of lecturing and teaching.
Mutsuki gave it a try, and it turned out to be a passive skill that could be toggled.
However, for something with no drawbacks, Mutsuki naturally chose to keep it on unless one day Danzo thought he was good at teaching and asked him to teach at the root base, then he would have to turn it off.
The only thing that disappointed Mutsuki was that the number of times disciples returned with rewards did not increase with the addition of disciples; it remained one opportunity per day.
He also thought that preparing some food for Shisui would earn him fifty Chakra. Every day, he cooked for three disciples, ensuring a minimum daily increase of one hundred and fifty Chakra. This was much faster than grinding lessons, but the result was not as he had hoped.
Nevertheless, with three disciples, even if there was only one chance, it was still better than when he was alone. Because human emotions have a threshold, under gradual stimulation, the threshold slowly increases, making it less likely to be moved to a great extent.
With three people, they could take turns to hit the jackpot, not only increasing the chances of winning big but also slowing down the growth of emotional thresholds.
"And, the current growth rate is not bad," Mutsuki thought to himself, glancing at his own panel.
[Name: Mutsuki Yumi]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 4405]
[Skills: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, Water Release: Water Wall, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Teaching...]
Compared to when he first crossed over, Mutsuki has gained a total of 105 points of Chakra. Ninety points were obtained from teaching and disciples returning with rewards, while the remaining fifteen points came from his own training.
These are the results of Mutsuki's efforts over five days, mainly because most of the rewards he received were various Ninjutsu techniques.
If Mutsuki focused solely on obtaining Chakra, attending classes alone would guarantee a minimum of one hundred Chakra per week, without even considering the rewards from disciples.
However, Mutsuki believes that, at this stage, it's better to focus on obtaining A-level rewards or splitting between A and B levels.
The Ninjutsu rewarded by the system from teaching is learned directly, not just at a basic level but mastered, suitable for use in battles.
For Ninjutsu that he hasn't mastered with his attributes, and even comes with nature changes, the system is considerate enough to grant experience for that element nature. This is truly thoughtful.
If he were to spend time practicing those Ninjutsu, it would consume a considerable amount of time, and figuring out the practice methods is also a problem.
However, once he has more means at his disposal, Mutsuki believes it's still essential to focus on obtaining Chakra, as Chakra is the fundamental essence of a Ninja.
"Sensei, I've finished!" Obito, eager to learn new Ninjutsu quickly, earnestly completed his exam with 120% effort.
"I'm done too," Might Guy, not willing to fall behind, also reported in.
"Two of them..." Mutsuki was relieved that this was the world of Naruto, where Clone Jutsu was a common existence.
Mutsuki created a shadow clone and said, "You go first and explain the principles of the Konoha Whirlwind to Guy, then demonstrate it a few times."
Because one was learning Taijutsu and the other Ninjutsu, Mutsuki couldn't teach them simultaneously, so he had to create a shadow clone.
He planned to personally teach Obito Ninjutsu while the clone explained to Might Guy.
After half an hour of teaching, they would switch. The original Mutsuki would teach Might Guy, and the clone would teach Obito.
Mutsuki didn't want to be a sensei who only focused on one person; he wanted to share his warmth with each disciple.
Mutsuki, just like when he taught Shisui initially, carefully explained and demonstrated, almost hand-holding them through the process.
[You imparted the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu to the disciple. Due to the disciple's immense gratitude, the reward critically struck, granting the Ninjutsu Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu (Proficient level).]
Mutsuki fell into contemplation. He remembered teaching Shisui the Great Dragon Fire as well. Back then, why didn't he consider it as part of the disciples' returns?
He thought of one possible reason; his Great Dragon Fire had come from Shisui as a reward, and it might be that rewards obtained from the same disciple couldn't be used for subsequent disciples' returns.
Mutsuki silently noted this hidden rule.
"It better not be the Water Dragon Bullet with forty-four hand seals." Mutsuki recalled Kakashi and Zabuza's Water Dragon Bullet and couldn't help but complain inwardly.
While performing hand seals might look cool in anime, in reality, it's challenging to execute Ninjutsu that requires so many hand seals unless someone else is there to distract or restrain opponents.
Mutsuki wasn't disappointed with the proficient level granted by the system. He only needed six hand seals, and with continued practice, he could further streamline the process as he became more proficient.
After teaching Obito for half an hour, Mutsuki went to guide Might Guy while instructing Obito with his clone. They both took turns teaching Shisui, constantly moving among the three.
By noon, Mutsuki personally went to the river and caught four fish. He then started a fire to grill them, one for each person, as their lunch.
"It's really delicious, Mutsuki-sensei. If you opened a barbecue restaurant, it would definitely do well," praised Obito while eating.
Shisui and Might Guy nodded in agreement.
"Be careful not to swallow the fish bones," Mutsuki laughed and shook his head.
Is it really delicious? Mutsuki thought it should be quite ordinary since he didn't have much skill in barbecuing and rarely did it. The reason they found it delicious might be due to the good atmosphere and the unique experience.
Shisui usually ate alone at home, rarely dining with so many people, especially outdoors.
Obito typically ate with his grandmother, and Might Guy shared meals with his father.
Adding to the novelty of never really having grilled fish before and experiencing it under various favorable conditions, the originally ordinary grilled fish became surprisingly delicious.
After finishing their meal and resting for an hour, Mutsuki, along with the three, resumed their training.
"This Ninjutsu isn't really that difficult," Obito said, looking at the chubby fire dragon he had summoned, feeling a sense of accomplishment. It was much smoother than when he was practicing the Great Fireball jutsu before.
Coincidentally, Shisui was also practicing the Great Dragon Fire, summoning a fire dragon.
Observing Shisui's fierce and toothy fire dragon, Obito silently controlled his cute little fire dragon to hide behind himself.
Might Guy, who had performed countless Whirlwind Kicks, wiped off some sweat and was about to take a break when he happened to witness this scene.
Perhaps because of the shared difficulties in the morning, Might Guy walked over and comforted, "It's okay. The little fire dragon is cute, and it will eventually become as powerful as sensei's."
Even though it was meant to be comforting, for some reason, Obito felt an inexplicable sense of frustration, making him very uncomfortable.
This surge of frustration instantly revitalized Obito, who had initially wanted to take a break. He became energetic again and resumed practicing the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu.
Seeing Obito so motivated, Might Guy, not wanting to be left behind, also abandoned his break and quickly resumed training.
"These two are oddly compatible." Mutsuki, who had been watching from the side, couldn't hold back a smile. He realized that Obito and Might Guy were quite a pair when together.
After practicing until dinner time, Mutsuki instructed them to return home and informed them to continue the next day.
On Sunday, after a day of training, the disciples returned him a reward of fifty points of Chakra.
Following that, a new week began...
