Chapter 8 - Told you to observe, not surpass

Hayate Gekko...

In Kyōichi's mind, information about him surfaced.

Hayate, a family of sword arts.

Poor health.

However.

In Kyōichi's past life's memories, there was much more detailed information.

Wind Release, suspected tuberculosis.

In this era without anti-tuberculosis drugs, Hayate Gekko had lung disease since childhood, and practiced Wind Release and swordsmanship, no wonder he died young.

Kyōichi frowned.

To the Hayate family, he was just an outsider, and even if he intervened, what could he do?

He didn't know medical ninjutsu, nor did he understand medicine.

There was nothing he could do.

For such an illness, without specific medicine, only one person in all of Konoha could treat it—

Tsunade.

However, Tsunade was currently elusive, trying to find her would mean staking out various locations, which would be too difficult.

Having good students help weaker ones meant Kyōichi didn't need to do anything himself.

The ninja world's children were so sensible!

He could take a break.

Before class, he created a shadow clone to practice swordsmanship at home.

Too tired to hold up later.

The teachers in the office were even more exasperated.

This...

Wasn't this kind of teaching misleading students?

However.

Strangely enough, the children were all happy and each showed strong motivation.

How odd!

Was self-study really better than being taught by a sensei?

It was confusing.

They wanted to learn secretly, but now, they could only say they didn't quite understand Kyōichi's teaching methods.

When class ended.

Kyōichi glanced at the system and couldn't help but smile.

[You have activated the students' autonomy, most students have gained insights.]

[Evaluation: Good]

[Reward: Body Flicker Technique proficiency increase.]

Kyōichi's Body Flicker Technique was decent, but only passable among chunin, at the jonin level it seemed somewhat lacking.

This increase in proficiency came at the right time.

He had somewhat figured it out.

The system's rewards should be based on the students' improvement effects and psychological feedback.

Good.

Now he understood.

Kyōichi pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention before speaking: "This lesson concludes here, everyone can practice on their own after school, and I'll test you next class. If you meet the standards, I will teach you the Body Flicker Technique."

"Great!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Teachers who didn't know were impressed, thinking Kyōichi looked young but had strong teaching methods, while those who knew had complex feelings - envious and jealous.

This was truly relaxing!

The students just loved this approach.

After all.

Who wouldn't want to learn new knowledge and ninja techniques once they mastered the basics?

If they were in the students' position, they too would want it.

The students weren't genin.

At the academy, teachers only taught the most basic things, not venturing further beyond that—not because they didn't want to teach, but because most teachers weren't very proficient themselves.

They somewhat understood Tree climbing and water walking.

However.

The Body Flicker Technique was quite different.

Their level was looked down upon by jonin, and even some children from clans looked down on it, teaching it might cause problems, so it was better not to teach it.

Kanda Kyōichi...

They didn't know much about Kyōichi, only that this guy came back from the battlefield injured, and was brought in as a temporary substitute after recovery.

Temporary was different.

"Ishimura-senpai, my class is over, next class is yours."

"Alright, thank you Kanda-sensei."

Ishimura Takashige took a deep breath.

It was his turn!

He would definitely let the children know that when it came to teaching, they should look to experienced teachers.

Kyōichi packed up his things.

Calculating the time, when he had returned from his injury earlier, the situation at Kikyō Mountain was nearly over.

The battle with the Sunagakure was about to end temporarily.

"There should be some peace for a while."

However.

In at most half a year, the great war between the other villages and the Land of Fire would begin again.

He didn't have much time.

Fortunately, there was the system!

Kyōichi claimed his reward, and knowledge about the Body Flicker Technique flooded into his mind.

High or low proficiency depended on the details.

The utilization of chakra, physical strength, and speed control, etc.

Time to go out and practice.

Kyōichi organized his files and left the academy.

After confirming no one was watching, he ran a long distance, and then had a rough idea in his mind.

The improvement was significant!

Chakra consumption and the speed of executing the Body Flicker Technique had increased greatly, and his control over speed and distance was more precise, his Body Flicker Technique was now better than many other jonins.

At this level.

Never mind ordinary students, he could even impress the current Shisui.

"Time to go eat."

After exercising and only having a rushed breakfast, he was actually quite hungry now.

He walked towards the village.

At the village entrance.

Two people appeared in his line of sight, and Kyōichi was immediately surprised.

Shisui and Obito.

Were these two skipping class again?

And they came out here to do good deeds.

Doing good deeds, huh?

"Shisui, is it really okay for us to do this? About sensei..."

"It's fine, I already know all the shuriken techniques that Ishimura-sensei teaches, Obito-niisan, I can teach you anything you don't understand."

Good grief!

Shisui was even the mastermind behind skipping class.

I asked him to observe, and he ended up surpassing Obito instead.

Kyōichi was curious—

What must Ishimura Takashige be thinking right now.

He must be fuming.

For his class, the two rushed to attend.

For Ishimura's class, they directly slipped away.

It was too disrespectful.

Kyōichi felt that tomorrow when he saw him, his expression probably wouldn't be too pleasant, but...

It didn't matter anymore.

He was just a temporary worker at the ninja academy, he might even leave next year, no need to care about these people's opinions.

Kyōichi shook his head, preparing to go eat noodles as planned.

However.

At this moment, Shisui also spotted him.

"Sensei! You're here too?"

Shisui truly wasn't avoiding suspicion.

Even though he was still skipping class, he ran straight over when he saw Kyōichi.

"You really aren't afraid of me, aren't you worried I'll take you back?"

"You're not that kind of rigid sensei."

Shisui grinned.

Obito stayed behind, somewhat afraid to approach, but seeing that Kyōichi had no intention of taking Shisui back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I asked you to observe, not to follow along, and you even directly pulled Obito into skipping class..."

Kyōichi was speechless.

"I understand a bit, but not completely, I don't know how to explain it, so I want to try more."

Shisui scratched his head.

Following Obito around, he discovered that those civilian old ladies' attitudes towards him became increasingly friendly, seemingly forgetting he was a member of the Uchiha.

However.

When asked to explain why, he couldn't articulate it.

At this moment, Shisui's heart felt like it was being gnawed by insects, uncomfortable, and except for Kyōichi's class, he didn't want to attend any other classes.

As for Obito.

This guy was decent at ninjutsu and combat, but asking him to ponder these things, Shisui felt he was being too demanding—even though Obito was four years older than him.

"Keep going, don't mention that you met me."

Kyōichi nodded.

In his view, this was a good thing.

The original Shisui was too naive, thinking he could resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha purely through ninjutsu and genjutsu techniques, not knowing that everything he did was futile.

Shisui being naive was one thing.

But he even brought down Itachi's intelligence, leading to a bunch of stupid decisions later.

Now thinking about it more deeply was good!
