Many civilian Genin empathized, as the path of a civilian Ninja is indeed too difficult.
If they encounter a teacher who knows their own Chakra Attribute, it's fine. But if their natural attribute is water and they meet someone specializing in Fire Release, that would be really frustrating.
After the demonstration, Mokgetsu created five Shadow Clones to conduct Ninjutsu lessons corresponding to each attribute.
The students who had the opportunity to learn did so eagerly, after all, Mokgetsu's teaching was excellent, and having more skills never hurts.
Of course, it depended on the situation. Nara Shiomizu's team didn't participate because they relied on their family's Secret Techniques, so learning these wouldn't help them much.
"They've already started learning Ninjutsu!" Hagane Kotetsu watched the commotion in Group A and B with envy.
Then, Hagane Kotetsu couldn't help but ask Mokgetsu's Shadow Clone in Group C, "Teacher Mokgetsu, when will our Group C start learning Ninjutsu?"
Hagane Kotetsu looked nervously at Mokgetsu, afraid that Mokgetsu might say they wouldn't learn it.
"According to your current progress, probably in about four days." Mokgetsu's Shadow Clone thought for a moment and then replied.
It wasn't favoritism, but Group C's progress was indeed slower, so they would start later.
"Great!" Hagane Kotetsu was very excited, finally able to learn other Ninjutsu, as he was tired of practicing the Three-Body Jutsu.
Perhaps because they could only learn the Three-Body Jutsu at the Ninja Academy, the students were very enthusiastic about learning Ninjutsu.
After learning it was due to progress, Group C students diligently practiced Nature Transformation, eager to learn Ninjutsu as soon as possible.
This momentum allowed them to meet the requirements a day early, and three days later, they began learning Ninjutsu with the Shadow Clones.
After two weeks of Ninjutsu studies, a new combat exam arrived. Many students gained a deeper understanding of Ninjutsu during battle. Being able to perform Ninjutsu and using it effectively in battle are two different things.
Two combat exams later marked the end of the special training, as it only lasted five weeks in total.
During the final week, due to the strong request of many students, Mokgetsu extended the special training to six weeks.
"There are still many aspects of Ninjutsu we don't understand. Since there's nothing else to do during vacation, might as well teach us a bit more, Teacher Mokgetsu."
"Teacher Mokgetsu, if it doesn't fit, maybe we could skip weekends off. If school starts, we definitely won't learn this."
Many students pleaded with Mokgetsu to extend training time or conduct supplementary lessons during vacation.
Even though adding another week's lessons would mean only a few days of holiday, the students didn't mind. Vacations always come, but the chance to learn Ninjutsu is rare.
Compared to themselves, the students were more worried about Mokgetsu. After all, teaching so many people was far more tiring for Mokgetsu than learning was for them.
Faced with such eager students, Mokgetsu had no reason to refuse. Hard work pays off; although more classes are tiring, the rewards are also greater.
However, this was ultimately an unscheduled change. Mokgetsu reported this to Sarutobi Hiruzen when he visited to learn Ninjutsu.
Nowadays, when Mokgetsu visited Sarutobi Hiruzen's house, it was usually for two things: to seek advice on Ninjutsu from Sarutobi Hiruzen, to showcase his Ninjutsu learning progress and reinforce his genius persona, and to report on the progress of the special training.
Because of the large number of students this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen took this special training quite seriously.
"If the students are willing, adding a week's course is nothing. It's just hard on you, Mokgetsu." Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his goatee and said.
When Mokgetsu set up the special training, he considered the students' vacation, ensuring that even after special training ended, students would have more than a week of vacation. So an extra week wouldn't affect the Ninja Academy's normal start, and those Genin would have even more freedom of action.
"As long as the students can learn something, I don't mind being a bit tired," Mokgetsu stated earnestly.
These were his sincere words because the more students learned, the more rewards he received.
"If every teacher were as outstanding as Mokgetsu, the Ninja Academy students' strength would definitely improve significantly," Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but praise.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was moved by Mokgetsu's earnest words.
Usually, a Ninja of Mokgetsu's caliber wouldn't be teaching at the Ninja Academy, as such a strong Ninja could earn significant money and resources by doing missions. Moreover, undertaking high-difficulty tasks could enhance one's reputation and build qualifications for high positions.
"Such an exceptional Ninja should be rewarded more," Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to give Mokgetsu additional rewards to compensate.
After discussing the extended teaching time, Mokgetsu reported the students' progress on this exam to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Your self-created Ninjutsu?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with interest.
Mokgetsu gave a simple demonstration for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Although these are very simple Ninjutsu, I can see your foundation is solid, well done," Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in recognition.
"When school starts, those teachers might be shocked, as the students have all learned new Ninjutsu," Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled.
Mokgetsu's special training always brought surprises to him. It could be said Mokgetsu achieved what all the teachers at the Ninja Academy together couldn't.
Sarutobi Hiruzen considered and decided to create a new position specifically for Mokgetsu at the Ninja Academy.
The head teacher's position cannot be casually changed, and Mokgetsu had almost reached the top position at the Ninja Academy. If Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to promote Mokgetsu, it would either involve another position or creating a new position.
Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to observe the final exam, and if there were no issues, he would appoint Mokgetsu as the vice principal of the Ninja Academy.
Since the creation of the Ninja Academy, there has never been a vice principal position because the principal's role is too special—it's the Hokage. What identity would suffice to be a vice principal?
Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed Mokgetsu's abilities were sufficient to become the vice principal.
