Chapter 1: The Will of Fire? More Like the Will to Bluff!

“To think, after graduating from teacher’s college, I didn’t become a teacher, but instead transmigrated to become one,” Li Muyue sighed helplessly in his heart after sorting through his memories.

He felt he truly had a profound karmic connection with the word “teacher.”

In high school, he was considered a good student in the art class, so many classmates would ask him for help, giving him the nickname “Teacher Yue.” Then, during university applications, he ended up in a teacher’s college after his applications to other universities failed. Following his family’s advice, he chose the school’s stronger teacher training program. In university, he tutored his roommates and was again nicknamed “Teacher Yue.”

Unexpectedly, upon graduation, Li Muyue rebelled and directly took the civil service exam, avoiding becoming a teacher.

What he never expected was that on his first day of work, the moment he stepped into the office, he transmigrated, becoming a new teacher at a ninja school.

His current body’s name is Yusheng Muyue – the name is still Muyue, just a different surname.

“Sigh, this isn’t a safe world; there are too many psychopaths, fanatics, and perverts, and they’re all incredibly strong,” Muyue sighed inwardly.

He casually observed the office; it wasn’t much different from the school offices of his past life, but the casually placed, sharp kunai on the desk told him this was no longer his peaceful former world.

Even more infuriating to Muyue was that he wasn’t just a teacher; he was also a Root ninja!

The original body was an orphan raised from childhood by Root. The reason he became a ninja school teacher was Danzo’s order: to observe and record ninja school students, paying attention to the emergence of any geniuses.

“Working under the Hokage’s shadow isn’t a pleasant place…”

Just as Muyue was contemplating how to survive in this dangerous world, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and a transparent blue panel appeared before his eyes.

[Teacher System Activated. Congratulations, you have successfully become a teacher.]

[Teaching students earns rewards; the more outstanding the student, the higher the reward.]

[You can take on outstanding students as disciples for one-on-one instruction; the teacher receives rewards for the disciple’s strength increase.]

[ps: Taking on disciples requires mutual agreement; one-sided discipleship is not allowed.]

Muyue studied the blue panel. Currently, it only had two options: Personal Profile and Disciples. Muyue opened the Personal Profile.

[Name: Yusheng Muyue]

[Age: 18]

[Chakra: 4300]

[Skills: Basic Ninja Techniques, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Konoha-style Body Techniques]

[Evaluation: An elite among Middle-Ranked Ninjas; a slightly more useful cannon fodder in war.]

After reading the somewhat disheartening evaluation, Muyue silently closed the Personal Profile and clicked on the Disciples option. Likely because he had no disciples yet, it was blank.

When the school bell rang, Muyue remembered he had his first class and gathered his things to head to the classroom.

Although he was a new teacher, due to the current shortage of teachers at the ninja school, Muyue also became the homeroom teacher for the new student class.

Muyue looked at the class roster and saw several familiar names.

There was Temari Mitokado, and the future Konoha gatekeepers, Inojin Yamanaka and Chōchō Akimichi.

When he saw Uchiha Shisui’s name, Muyue’s eyes lit up. This was an extraordinary genius.

Since disciples’ strength growth provided teacher rewards, the more talented the disciple, the better.

Before entering the classroom, Muyue adjusted his expression, putting on a warm and sunny smile as he walked in.

The ninja school classroom was uniquely designed. Perhaps to allow back-row students to see clearly, the student desks were arranged in ascending height, each row higher than the last.

Muyue’s arrival silenced the previously noisy classroom.

After all, they were five or six-year-old children, experiencing their first day of school. Most felt both curious and awed by the presence of a ninja teacher.

Of course, there were exceptions. A purple-haired girl with a single ponytail in the front row, upon seeing Muyue enter, blurted out:

“Big brother, you’re so handsome! Are you our teacher?”

Muyue smiled and nodded in reply:

“That’s right, my pretty little classmate. I am your homeroom teacher from now on.”

“Hee hee.” The purple-haired girl, having been complimented, immediately felt that this blond male teacher was a good person.

The other students, seeing the interaction, also relaxed. Even though it was their first day of school, they had heard some relatives complain about how strict teachers could be.

Muyue quickly walked to the podium, wrote his full name on the board with chalk, then turned around and formally introduced himself:

“My name is Yusheng Muyue. From today onwards, I will be your teacher. Please give me your best.”

“Yay! Teacher, I’m Temari Mitokado!” the purple-haired girl responded first.

With Temari leading the way, others also responded to Muyue, and Shisui followed suit.

Muyue felt some disappointment at the system’s lack of response. He had thought he could recruit Shisui as a disciple this way—after all, it counted as acknowledging the teacher—but the attempt to exploit a bug failed.

Muyue didn’t let his emotions show. After everyone introduced themselves, he pressed his hand down to signal everyone to quiet down.

“Before we start the lesson, I want to ask you all a question: Do you know how Konoha came to be?”

The classroom fell silent again, everyone looking at each other, unsure how to answer.

Shisui, having received clan education, knew a little, but being averse to drawing attention to himself, wouldn’t answer unless called upon.

“People built it, right?” Temari pondered and answered.

“It was indeed built by people, but you need to understand who built Konoha and why it was built,” Muyue didn’t deny Temari’s words, building upon her answer.

“Before the era of hidden villages was the era of constant warfare. During that time, even children your age might have to pick up weapons and fight. Brutal wars could break out at any moment…”

As he spoke of this cruel history, Muyue’s voice became low, directly presenting the brutal reality of the Warring States period to the students.

Perhaps ninja world children mature early, or perhaps because this was Konoha, many children felt the weight of it, affecting the classroom atmosphere.

“At that time, two clans stepped forward: the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.” Muyue’s tone changed slightly, shifting from low to impassioned.

“I know, I know! The First Hokage, Lord Hashirama, was a Senju!” When Muyue mentioned Senju, the students immediately felt involved. They might not know about the Warring States period, but they knew about the Senju.

Shisui, hearing everyone focusing on the Senju and no one noticing the Uchiha, felt a little disappointed. He didn’t understand why, when both were founding clans of Konoha.

“To protect their clans’ descendants, to ensure future children wouldn’t have to pick up weapons and fight, the two clans worked together to create Konoha, attracting more clans to join, finally ending the Warring States period. This is how we have Konoha today.”

[Note: The following sentence is a website promotion and not part of the story and is omitted in this translation]

“Where the leaves dance, the fire will also continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout.

It is because of the selfless efforts and sacrifices of our ancestors that we have what we have today, the ninja school, and this spirit of selfless dedication is the Will of Fire of Konoha!” Muyue’s expression turned serious, as if he were still commemorating the ancestors.

He thought Shisui might be interested in a teacher who knew history and understood the Will of Fire.

“So that’s how Konoha came to be? Next time I pass by the Hokage Rock, I must pay my respects.”

“I also want to become a ninja of the Will of Fire and protect Konoha!”

The students had already imagined their ancestors fighting for them, feeling their blood boil, declaring their desire to learn from their ancestors.

Shisui’s eyes also lit up. He felt this teacher was somehow special and became more interested in his ninja school life.

He had heard from his elders that the ninja school taught things the clan already taught and planned to graduate early to help the police force. Now it seemed that wasn’t entirely true.

“So, does anyone know how many chakra natures there are?”

“Five: Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Fire,” a student from a ninja family quickly answered.

“Not quite. There are seven chakra natures. In addition to the five basic nature transformations of Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Fire, there are also two special nature transformations: Yin and Yang,” Muyue smiled and corrected.

This method of questioning and then correcting allowed the students to better remember the information.

Muyue then began to explain the basic understanding of chakra, occasionally telling jokes to make the children laugh.

Time passed quickly; four classes were over in a flash. When the dismissal bell rang, Muyue paused and smiled:

“Dismissed! Tomorrow, we’ll talk about chakra refinement!”

Muyue announced dismissal directly and previewed the next lesson.

Upon hearing Muyue say they were dismissed, the students were stunned. They thought the lesson had just started; how could it be over already? On reflection, they realized they had had four class periods.

However, because of Muyue’s guidance, their lessons were engaging and relaxed, so they hadn’t noticed the passage of time.

“Chakra refinement, I can’t wait!” Temari was already looking forward to the next day, having never been exposed to this kind of knowledge, as neither of her parents were ninja.

“This class is so interesting. My cousin even lied to me, saying school was grueling. I’ll tell Aunt about him stealing money to buy snacks when I get home!” Inojin expressed his indignation at almost being tricked.

“Why not use that to blackmail him into giving you the snacks?” Chōchō offered his opinion.

Inojin suddenly had an epiphany, clapping Chōchō on the shoulder and exclaiming:

“Good idea, bro! I’ll split the snacks with you if it works!”

Shisui looked at Muyue, who was about to leave the classroom, thought for a moment, and then got up to follow him.

[Lesson Completed. Processing Settlement.]

[Evaluation: A]

[Using ancestral stories to inspire students’ sense of responsibility and enthusiasm; coherent lesson content with strong interaction, high student satisfaction.]

[Reward Settlement…]
