The moment the two system prompts flashed across Yuuma's vision, he couldn't stop the smirk tugging at his lips.
[System Notice: Mentor–Disciple Bond Established — Uchiha Obito (Trust Level 2)][System Notice: Mentor–Disciple Bond Established — Might Guy (Trust Level 2)]
Trust Level 2…Good.That meant his carefully staged "vulnerable teacher act" worked perfectly.
Yuuma folded his arms, quiet satisfaction burning beneath his calm face.These three kids—Shisui, Obito, Guy—were now his most stable source of growth.Gold mines that generated Stats every day.
And the System didn't wait:
[Passive Skill Unlocked — Professor]Your teachings integrate more smoothly into high-potential students. Skill absorption rate increased.
A brutally simple skill… but terrifyingly strong for someone who grows by teaching.
Yuuma toggled it.A passive skill that can be turned on or off.He couldn't imagine a scenario where turning it off made sense—unless Danzo forced him to teach Root trainees.
Yeah.Then he'd shut it down instantly.
The only disappointment?
Even with more disciples, the System's daily "Teaching Return Reward" didn't increase.Still one attempt per day.
So feeding all three wouldn't triple his returns.
Yuuma sighed in his mind.
But…One chance per day was still better than nothing.And with three disciples rotating in gratitude, their emotional "threshold" wouldn't rise too fast.
Kids get moved easily—but not by the same trick repeated over and over.
Three targets = more jackpot opportunities.
Yuuma opened his Status.
[Name: Hanyū Yuuma][Age: 18][Chakra: 4405][Skills:• Fire Style — Great Dragon Fire (Master Level)• Water Style — Water Wall• Wind Style — Suppression• Passive Skill — Professor• (others omitted…) ]
Five days in this world.Five days… and he'd already increased his Chakra by 105 points.
Most people train a month and don't gain half that.
Teaching really is a cheat code.
If he wanted, he could chase B-rank lecture ratings for pure Chakra gains.But earning A-rank rewards—instant mastery of high-grade ninjutsu—was worth far more right now.
Ninjutsu he would've spent months practicing…the System handed to him instantly.
Fire, Wind, Water—Yuuma now held all three attributes.
A "balanced Jonin" in the making.
He closed the panel and turned as Obito shouted:
"Teacher! I finished the test!"
"I finished too!" Guy saluted with righteous passion.
Yuuma nodded. "Good. Both of you—come over."
He formed a Shadow Clone.
"You teach Guy the fundamentals of Konoha Cyclone. I'll handle Obito."
The clone moved instantly, strict and silent like a drill instructor.Yuuma stayed with Obito, guiding hand positions, breathing, chakra flow—all broken down step by step like he did for Shisui.
A few minutes later—
[Reward Triggered — Apprentice Gratitude Critical][Reward Granted: Water Style — Water Dragon Bullet (Proficient Level)]
Yuuma blinked.
Ah.So that was why teaching Shisui didn't trigger rewards the first time.The System won't let him trigger Explosions from a reward he originally earned from that same student.
A hidden anti-abuse rule.
Annoying—but fair.
Yuuma skimmed through the Water Dragon Bullet memory the System dumped into his mind.Forty-four seals?Nope.
His proficiency level required only six.And with more practice, he'd reduce it even further.
By noon, the four of them sat around a small fire by the river.Yuuma grilled the fish he caught.
"It's delicious! Teacher, if you opened a barbecue shop, you'd get rich fast!" Obito announced with his mouth full.
Even Shisui nodded earnestly. Might Guy too.
Yuuma chuckled quietly.He knew the truth:the fish wasn't special.The atmosphere made it special.
Obito usually ate with his grandmother.Guy with his father.Shisui… alone.
Four kids eating together beside a river—that was the seasoning.
Yuuma let them rest for an hour before resuming training.
Obito's fire dragon was… tiny.Cute, round, and extremely non-threatening.
Shisui's, on the other hand—
A massive, three-meter beast with jaws of flame and heat that warped the air.
Obito paused, stared at his own "little salamander," then quietly maneuvered it behind his body like he was hiding contraband.
Guy watched sympathetically.
"Obito… don't worry. Small things are cute too. And one day… it'll grow strong."
Obito nearly collapsed from spiritual damage.
But he gritted his teeth and tried again.
Yuuma smiled slightly.
Obito and Guy… they really bring out the best in each other.This duo is a perfect accelerant.
They trained until dinner.
Yuuma dismissed them with instructions to return tomorrow.
Sunday.Another full day of grinding—and Yuuma earned 50 more Chakra from teaching alone.
At last, the weekend ended.
A new week began.
A new wave of growth awaited.
