"Who would have thought I'd graduate from a teaching college without becoming a teacher, only to end up teaching after transmigrating," Li Mu Yue thought to himself with some helplessness after organizing his memories.
It seemed like the word "teacher" was inseparably tied to his fate.
In high school, as one of the better-performing students in his art class, many classmates would come to him with their questions, and he earned the nickname "Teacher Yue." Then, during college applications, he slid through choices until landing in a teacher-training university. At his family's suggestion, he chose one of the institution's strongest education-focused programs. Even during college, he tutored his roommates and was once again dubbed "Teacher Yue."
Yet, to everyone's surprise, Mu Yue defied expectations upon graduation and passed the civil service exam, choosing not to pursue teaching after all.
What he never expected was that on the very first day of his new job, as he walked into his office, the next moment, he transmigrated—becoming a newly appointed teacher at the Ninja Academy.
His current body was named Hanyu Mu Yue. While his first name remained the same, his surname had changed.
"Sigh, this world isn't exactly safe," he lamented internally. "There are way too many lunatics, paranoids, and psychopaths... and they're all absurdly strong."
A quick glance around the office revealed it wasn't much different from school offices in his previous life, except for the sharp kunai casually lying on desks—a clear reminder that this was no peaceful modern nation.
To make matters worse, Mu Yue found out he wasn't just a teacher—he was also a ninja in the Root organization!
This body had been raised as an orphan by Root from a young age. The reason he was assigned to teach at the academy was a direct order from Danzo: observe and record the students, and keep an eye out for potential geniuses.
"Working under the 'Pot Shadow' is not a good place to be…"
As Mu Yue pondered how to survive in this dangerous world, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind. A transparent blue panel appeared before his eyes.
[Teacher System Activated. Congratulations! You are now a teacher.]
[Deliver lectures to students to receive rewards. The more outstanding the students, the better the rewards.]
[You can accept exceptional students as disciples and train them one-on-one. Their growth will yield you additional rewards.]
[P.S.: Accepting a disciple requires mutual agreement, no unilateral decisions allowed.]
Mu Yue examined the blue panel and found two options: "Personal Profile" and "Mentorship." He clicked on his profile first.
[Name: Hanyu Mu Yue]
[Age: 18]
[Chakra: 4300]
[Skills: Clone Jutsu, Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, Konoha-Style Taijutsu]
[Evaluation: An elite among Chunin, a slightly useful pawn in times of war.]
The harsh evaluation left Mu Yue speechless. He silently closed the profile and opened the mentorship tab, but it was empty—likely because he hadn't taken on any disciples yet.
The school bell rang, signaling the start of class. Remembering that he had a lesson to teach, Mu Yue quickly gathered his things and headed to the classroom.
Despite being a new teacher, the academy's lack of staff meant Mu Yue was also assigned as a homeroom teacher for a class of new students. Glancing at the roster, he noticed several familiar names: Mitarashi Anko, Hagane Kotetsu, and Kamizuki Izumo—the future "Gatekeepers of Konoha."
But when his eyes landed on "Uchiha Shisui," they lit up. This was no ordinary student—this was a true genius.
Since the system rewarded him based on students' growth, the more talented the disciple, the better.
Adjusting his expression before entering the classroom, Mu Yue put on a warm, sunny smile and walked in.
The ninja academy's classrooms were designed uniquely, with seats arranged in tiers to ensure even those in the back had a clear view.
Mu Yue's arrival silenced the previously noisy classroom. The children—only five or six years old—were attending school for the first time, their curiosity and reverence for ninja teachers evident.
Of course, there were exceptions. A purple-haired girl in the front row, sporting a ponytail, blurted out, "Big brother, you're really good-looking! Are you our teacher?"
Mu Yue smiled and nodded. "That's right, my cute little student. I'll be your homeroom teacher from now on."
"Hehe." Flattered, the purple-haired girl immediately decided her new teacher was a good person.
Seeing their interaction, the other students relaxed. Despite being their first day, they had heard relatives complain about how scary teachers could be.
Mu Yue walked to the blackboard and wrote his full name in chalk before formally introducing himself. "My name is Hanyu Mu Yue. From today onwards, I'll be your teacher. Please take care of me."
"Yay! Teacher, I'm Mitarashi Anko!" The purple-haired girl was the first to respond.
With Anko leading the way, the rest of the students followed suit, including Shisui.
Mu Yue, however, was disappointed that his system didn't react. He had hoped to exploit a loophole by earning Shisui as a disciple simply by being acknowledged as his teacher, but it seemed that wouldn't work.
Hiding his thoughts, Mu Yue waited for the introductions to finish before raising a hand to quiet the class.
"Before we start, I have a question: does anyone know how Konoha was founded?"
The room fell silent as the students exchanged puzzled looks. Even Shisui, despite knowing some details from his family's teachings, remained quiet, preferring to avoid drawing attention.
"People built it, right?" Anko guessed.
"That's correct," Mu Yue replied. "But do you know who built it and why?"
Without dismissing Anko's answer, he used it as a segue to continue.
"Before the era of ninja villages, there was the Warring States Period—a time of endless conflict. Even children as young as you were forced to pick up weapons and fight. Wars broke out at any moment..."
His tone grew heavy as he vividly described the brutal realities of that time. The somber atmosphere gripped the students, many of whom were old enough to sense the weight of his words.
"But then, two clans stepped forward: the Senju and the Uchiha." His tone shifted from somber to passionate.
"I know! The First Hokage, Hashirama-sama, was from the Senju clan!" one student exclaimed.
The mention of the Senju sparked excitement among the students, who knew little of the Warring States but were familiar with the name Senju.
Shisui, however, felt a twinge of disappointment. Why was no one mentioning the Uchiha, who were just as integral to Konoha's founding?
"To protect their clans and ensure future generations wouldn't have to fight, the two clans joined forces to create Konoha. They welcomed other clans to join, ending the Warring States Period and paving the way for the Konoha we know today."
He concluded passionately, "Where the leaves dance, the fire burns brightly. The fire's light illuminates the village and nurtures new leaves to sprout. This selfless spirit of sacrifice is the essence of the Will of Fire!"
Mu Yue's serious expression gave the impression he was still honoring the sacrifices of those before him.
The students were enthralled, their imaginations conjuring images of heroic battles. One by one, they resolved to carry on the Will of Fire.
Shisui, too, was intrigued. This teacher seemed different—someone worth learning from.
Mu Yue then transitioned into teaching about chakra, starting with a question. "Does anyone know how many chakra natures there are?"
"Five! Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Fire!" a student from a ninja family quickly replied.
"Not quite. There are actually seven: the five basic natures, plus Yin and Yang," Mu Yue corrected gently, leaving a stronger impression on the students.
His teaching style, peppered with jokes to keep the children engaged, made the class both informative and enjoyable.
Before anyone realized it, four periods had passed. As the bell rang, Mu Yue smiled and announced, "Class dismissed. Tomorrow, we'll learn how to refine chakra!"
The students, who had been so engrossed they lost track of time, were surprised but delighted.
Anko was especially excited, looking forward to the next lesson. Others, like Kotetsu and Izumo, couldn't wait to share their newfound enthusiasm with family.
Meanwhile, Shisui, captivated by Mu Yue's unique teaching, quietly followed him out of the classroom.
