Naruto : Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching

"Seal!"

On Monday afternoon, in the Southern Forest, Muyue was practicing the One-Finger Seal that Kushina had taught him.

Since it was a sealing jutsu used to seal chakra, Muyue used his shadow clone for experimentation.

"Unable to condense chakra, it succeeded," the shadow clone reported.

"But I feel like I could break through it if I used my full strength," the shadow clone added.

Muyue nodded. No wonder Minato said this sealing jutsu had no practical value in combat.

Although he had just learned it, for it to be instantly broken by a shadow clone with only half of his chakra, its restraining power was truly pathetic.

"But I've learned it, so do I have a talent for sealing jutsu?" Muyue wondered to himself.

Kushina had given him the sealing jutsu last night, and he had mastered it today. According to Kushina, he was a genius at sealing jutsu.

Strictly speaking, he had only practiced for less than half a day. He had practiced for a while last night, and then for a short period this afternoon.

Many conjectures flashed through Muyue's mind: the original owner's talent, his own talent, or a combination of both...

The reason didn't matter, because this was definitely good news.

Even if he didn't look to the future to learn powerful sealing jutsu, just staying in the present allowed him to see a glimmer of hope for breaking Danzo's cursed seal.

After reading books on sealing jutsu and cursed seals, and then learning another sealing jutsu, Muyue already knew that cursed seals were essentially a small sub-category of sealing jutsu.

The Curse Mark of Tongue Paralysis was, in essence, a sealing jutsu, a rather special one.

Sealing jutsu could generally be resolved by two methods.

The first was to directly break through with overwhelming chakra, and the second was to use the corresponding unsealing jutsu.

Muyue felt that forcefully breaking through the seal with chakra was unreliable, because the Curse Mark of Tongue Paralysis was of a high level. If he could forcefully break it, killing Danzo wouldn't be difficult at all.

Therefore, Muyue planned to learn more sealing jutsu, then research his own Curse Mark of Tongue Paralysis, and finally develop an unsealing jutsu for it.

He had deliberately saved one Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll, intending to use it for sealing jutsu.

The system rewarded him with certain knowledge of nature transformation for unmastered chakra nature ninjutsu, so Muyue speculated that if he directly raised a sealing jutsu to the proficient level, he could also gain some sealing jutsu knowledge.

Muyue didn't plan to use the proficiency scroll on the One-Finger Seal. He felt that this sealing jutsu was probably equivalent to the Three Basic Jutsu in sealing arts, and using the proficiency scroll on it would be a bit of a waste.

After finishing his disciples' training, Muyue went directly to the main district.

Since Kushina and Minato had treated him to dinner yesterday, Muyue naturally invited them over to his house for a meal today.

Today, Muyue made chili omelets, tempura, and meat and potato stew.

Muyue's personal favorite was the chili omelet; it was a dish his mother often made for him in his previous life.

Muyue could be said to be very fond of eggs, accepting them steamed, boiled, fried, or scrambled. Plus, he also liked spicy food, so his home rarely had chive omelets; it was basically always chili omelets.

First, he'd crack the eggs into a bowl, quickly whisk them with chopsticks until frothy, then directly pour the chili into the egg mixture and stir, before finally pouring it into the pan.

Although his cooking skills had surpassed his former self with the chef skill bonus, whenever he made this dish, he would recall related memories from his previous life.

"Muyue, what's wrong? Are you afraid of being spicy by your own cooking?" Kushina joked, seeing Muyue pick up a piece of chili omelet but not eat it.

"How amazing, chili and egg fried like this can be so delicious," Minato praised.

If he were to cook, he definitely wouldn't be able to combine chili and egg, let alone fry them together so crudely.

"Yeah, chili omelets are delicious," Muyue said with a gentle smile, no longer reminiscing, then put a piece of chili omelet into his mouth.

"Mmm, delicious."

The three ate and chatted, eventually discussing the sealing jutsu Muyue was learning.

"Muyue, can you perform that One-Finger Seal now?" Kushina asked.

Muyue shook his head and said, "It goes smoothly every time I pre-visualize it in my mind, but I just can't execute it properly. It feels like something is missing."

Muyue didn't intend to reveal that he had learned it in half a day; that would be too shocking, as even Kushina said she learned it in a day.

Where Kushina was, there were always Anbu monitoring, and he didn't want to appear too exaggerated.

He planned to pretend he mastered it in seven days, which wouldn't make him seem too much of a genius, but would still show he had talent in sealing jutsu.

"That's normal. Few people can learn it in a day. This is a normal situation for you," Minato said, comforting him.

He was worried Muyue would be affected by Kushina's previous words and develop a psychological issue.

"Right, as long as you can learn it within a month, there's no problem," Kushina added.

"Feel free to ask us if you don't understand anything, don't be polite," Kushina said while eating heartily.

Minato also nodded, indicating it was fine.

"As long as it's not too much trouble for you two," Muyue said with a smile.

...

Thursday afternoon, Konoha's Southern Forest.

"Obito, eighty-five questions; Might Guy, thirty questions," Muyue announced the results of their sparring session this afternoon.

"Only eighty-five questions!" Obito couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

He felt that the beatings he took from Kakashi weren't in vain. This was the fewest questions he'd had since the battle rules changed, meaning he had improved, was hit less, and hit more.

Obito planned to offset forty percent with training, do ten percent today, and pay off the remaining fifty percent in installments. After allocating them, he even felt that the questions weren't that many anymore.

"Thirty questions?!" Might Guy clenched his fists in disbelief. This was the most questions he'd ever gotten since the rules changed.

Even if he maximized the conversion of questions to training, he'd still have to do twelve questions.

"Good, both of you have made great progress. If you want to pay in installments today, you can waive the interest," Muyue said with a smile.

Obito's eyes lit up instantly, feeling he could take out more installments.

Might Guy thought about it – no interest on installments, wasn't that a freebie? There was no reason not to take it, so he also applied to Muyue for installments.

After training, Might Guy found Shisui, hoping he could help him with some intensified training.

Obito's progress had given him a strong sense of crisis. Although his advantage was still significant, Obito wasn't allowed to use ninjutsu during their combat, so he wasn't even using half of his strength.

Might Guy recalled Muyue's words: combat was an important part of improving strength, not training-type combat like with Obito, but truly fighting with all one's might.

"Full strength?" Shisui inquired.

Might Guy nodded in confirmation.

"Then I'm going to make my move," Shisui warned in advance.

Might Guy tensed his muscles, ready to unleash his taijutsu at any moment.

But the next instant after Shisui spoke, a large tree burst from the ground, binding Might Guy.

While Might Guy was still wondering what ninjutsu Shisui had used, the large tree that bound him suddenly vanished, and Shisui already had a kunai at his throat. The battle was over.

Might Guy understood what had just happened; he had fallen into Shisui's genjutsu.

"The path to becoming the strongest is still very long," thought Might Guy, who had been defeated in one blow.

"Please, again!"

Although the road was long, he, Might Guy, would never give up!
