Chapter 4: The Potential of Might Guy and Obito
"Brother, how's the situation?"
"Not good!" Kotetsu gritted his teeth. "My damn cousin is threatening to tell Meihui—the pretty girl next door—that I wet the bed when I was three if I expose his secrets!"
Drag Meihui into this? His glorious image would be ruined! Absolutely vile!
"I have a plan," Izumo said after a moment of thought. "Use your youthful charm. Pretend you're just playing at his house—then trash his room. Even if you're the one who made the mess, if it isn't cleaned in time, your cousin gets blamed. Do this a few times, and he'll shut up."
Kotetsu's eyes lit up. "That's brilliant! Just like the First Hokage with Tobirama's tactics! If it works, I'm treating you to snacks!"
Mugetsu overheard the two 'strategists' the moment he walked into the classroom and couldn't help but smile.
"Let's begin class."
He walked to the podium and started the lesson without delay.
"Chakra is the foundation of all ninjutsu. It's created by combining physical energy and spiritual strength."
Most of the students listened attentively—after all, this was core knowledge for every aspiring ninja.
As he taught, Mugetsu released bursts of chakra for demonstration. To keep things engaging, he mixed in jokes and anecdotes, occasionally posing questions to reinforce the material.
Time flew by, and soon the four class periods were nearly up. Noticing Anko asking questions with enthusiasm, Mugetsu casually used Identification Technique on her.
[Name: Anko]
[Potential: A]
Curious, Mugetsu appraised the entire class.
[Name: Kotetsu]
[Potential: B-]
[Name: Izumo]
[Potential: B-]
The results surprised him.
Aside from Shisui, only four students in the class reached B-level potential or higher. Besides Anko and the two gatekeepers, only one unfamiliar student had a B- rating. The rest were mostly C-rank, ranging from C+ to C-, and even a few Ds.
Shisui's talent really was in a league of its own.
Anko's potential also exceeded expectations. Though in the original story she didn't achieve great renown, her aptitude was clearly well above average—far better than Kotetsu and Izumo.
Still, Mugetsu had no plans to take her as a disciple—at least not for now. He only had four disciple slots. One was already taken by Shisui, leaving three.
Loli Anko might be cute, but Mugetsu was handsome too—and that wouldn't convince Danzo to release him from Root anytime soon.

[Lesson Completed.
Evaluation: A
Reward: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]
"Not bad," Mugetsu thought. "But it's not very useful right now."
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique—Naruto's signature jutsu—was undeniably powerful and versatile. It was excellent for combat, training, and reconnaissance.
But for someone like Mugetsu, who lacked a large chakra pool, it had limited value for now.

After lunch, Mugetsu returned to the office where several teachers were brainstorming advice for Ikeya, who had a blind date lined up.
"Make sure to dress neatly and look clean," said a tall, skinny teacher. "You don't want to come off sloppy."
"Come on, Sugi," Ikeya replied, puffing up with pride. "I've never been in love, but I know that much."
"Just don't start bragging during the conversation," Aya said dryly, already predicting disaster.
"Aya, just wait and see!" Ikeya huffed.
"Yes, yes, I'll be watching," Aya replied with a perfunctory smile before turning her attention to Mugetsu.
"Mugetsu-sensei, you're amazing! I passed by your class this morning, and the atmosphere felt so lively. Hard to believe it's your first time teaching."
Mugetsu shook his head humbly. "No, it's all thanks to your advice. And the students behaved well too."
Even though it was a polite reply, praise always felt good. Aya smiled and offered him a snack from her stash.
Seeing this, Ikeya felt the sting of favoritism. He'd worked with Aya for two years and had barely eaten her snacks twice.
After sulking briefly, he still managed to greet Mugetsu warmly, saying he would remember this favor for life if his blind date went well.
Mugetsu smiled and chatted briefly before pulling out his calligraphy set and practicing quietly.
Calligraphy had been one of the few hobbies he picked up seriously in his previous life, a habit from his university days.
The Academy's lunch break wasn't long, so instead of wasting time, he put it to good use.
When the break ended, he packed up and headed toward his next class.

Ding-ling-ling~
The bell rang just as Mugetsu stepped into the classroom of Class 2, Grade 4.
"Eh? Isn't it supposed to be Ikeya-sensei's history class today?" a student asked, confused.
"Ikeya-sensei had something come up. I'll be taking over this afternoon."
Just as Mugetsu finished explaining, a familiar figure dashed through the doorway.
"Huff… Sensei, sorry I'm late!" Obito panted. "I helped an old lady on the way here, so I was delayed!"
Mugetsu nodded. "Take your seat and listen closely."
As the class settled, he began using Identification on the students.
[Name: Rin]
[Chakra: 300]
[Potential: B+]
—
[Name: Guy]
[Chakra: 600]

—
[Name: Obito]
[Chakra: 650]
[Potential: S]
Evaluation: Possesses Six Paths bloodline. Space-time affinity. Strongly recommended for discipleship.
Just like his previous class, most students were C- and D-levels, except for these three… and Uchiha Tekka, who had A-level potential.
After checking everyone's potential, Mugetsu asked about their previous lessons and began teaching.
To students used to dry, textbook readings, Hayate's style was a breath of fresh air.
"Mugetsu-sensei, you're so much better than the other teachers!" Obito declared. "If you teach us all the time, I'm sure I'll pass!"
"I'll make sure to tell Ikeya-sensei that," Mugetsu replied with a smile. "Along with the fact that you were late."
Obito's face fell instantly. "Nooo, Sensei, have mercy!"
His exaggerated reactions brought laughter to the room, adding a relaxed joy to the class.

During the afternoon break, Mugetsu activated his Sensory Ninjutsu to ensure the area was secure.
Once everything was confirmed clear, he turned to Guy and Obito.
"Come with me."
