Chapter 76: The Bathroom Is Not a Place for a Fight (Seeking Continued Reading)

“To conduct special training for students about to graduate and those who have performed exceptionally well…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered before saying, “I think, Miyuki, you underestimate your abilities. How about this: based on your special training plan, we’ll also promote it to this year’s graduating Genin. Those interested can join your training program.”

After speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and asked Miyuki, “Miyuki, what do you think?”

“Since the Third Hokage recognizes my abilities so highly, I will do my best,” Miyuki respectfully replied.

Miyuki didn’t mind having many students; he wished he could teach hundreds of students a day.

According to Miyuki’s deduction, the number of students during lectures also affects the lecture reward, which is why he received rewards for teaching at the Ninja Academy.

However, when he taught Kakashi and the others, the number of students didn’t meet the standard, so there was no lecture reward.

If he gathered all the fourth-grade students, plus outstanding students from other classes and some graduating Genin, gathering over three hundred people wouldn’t be a problem.

Miyuki wanted to know if the reward for teaching over two hundred people at once would be even better.

“Miyuki, if you make this special training a success and improve the students’ and Genin’s strength, you can be promoted to Special Jonin without having to wait until the end of the year,” Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled.

If Miyuki could consistently replicate the teaching results of Year One, Class One, he could replace Sarutobi Hiruzen as the head of the teacher’s group; not just to Special Jonin.

However, by then, he would have to have a good talk with his old friend Danzo about Miyuki’s identity.

Ninja Academy teachers could be members of Root, but the head of the teacher’s group couldn’t be a member of Root.

“I will notify the Ninja Academy to cooperate with your work. This matter will be primarily led by you,” Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Miyuki expressed his gratitude and then went to the backyard to take Asma away for their weekend cultivation.

“Miyuki-sensei, you’re really going to hold special training?” Asma curiously asked.

He had just happened to overhear their conversation.

“Since the Third Hokage trusts me so much, I naturally cannot disappoint him,” Miyuki said with a smile.

“I think the old man just wants to use you as a workhorse. Teaching so many students from one grade, plus graduating Genin all at once – it’ll be incredibly tiring,” Asma spoke up for Miyuki.

“And he didn’t even mention how the salary during the special training will be calculated. If it’s the same as normal, Miyuki-sensei, you’ll be at a huge loss.”

Hearing Asma’s words, Miyuki thought that if Asma were also his disciple, their trust level would be quite high; he was already speaking out against Sarutobi Hiruzen for Miyuki’s sake.

“I didn’t become a teacher for the money. I just hope my students can improve,” Miyuki replied with a smile.

If another teacher said that, Asma would scoff and think they were being pretentious.

But coming from Miyuki, it sounded perfectly natural.

If he was only after money, Miyuki could simply slack off with him, there’s no need to go to such lengths to push him to train.

“Since Miyuki-sensei, you really are going to organize this special training, I definitely have to bring my teammates to learn from you,” Asma stated, intending to bring his teammates to support Miyuki. He had just graduated this year.

To be fair, Asma felt that Miyuki might not be as strong as an Upper-Ninja, but his teaching ability was definitely far superior to his Upper-Ninja teacher.

Every weekend, after training with Miyuki, he felt he gained a great deal.

Learning from Miyuki for a month would surely yield far greater results than their usual training.

……

“Kakashi, let’s have a match filled with youth and passion!”

“I understand the sentiment, but next time, could you not barge in while I’m taking a bath!” Kakashi, lying in the bathtub, said to Might Guy, who suddenly appeared.

He was completely baffled. Why was Might Guy’s timing always so awful?

“I was training during the day, so I came at this time,” Might Guy explained.

“So could you please get out?” Kakashi’s head ached looking at Might Guy, who remained unmoved, still explaining.

It felt like among his few friends, only Rin Nohara was a normal person.

Might Guy finally left, but curiously turned back at the door, causing Kakashi to snap and throw a bottle at him.

“Next time, I absolutely will set traps at the bathroom door!” Kakashi warned Might Guy after his bath.

Might Guy ignored Kakashi’s words, clenching his fists, his face filled with passionate fervor, shouting:

“Kakashi, let’s have another all-out, passionate battle!”

“My strength is different now, don’t underestimate me.”

“Let’s go to the yard. I hope your strength is as strong as your mouth,” Kakashi said indifferently.

“I got first place in the Ninja Academy this year, don’t underestimate me,” Might Guy gave a thumbs-up and laughed heartily.

“Isn’t that something you get just for participating?” Kakashi, undefeated in Ninja Academy exams, said calmly.

The two went to the courtyard, their eyes met, and a nod signaled the start of the battle.

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

Might Guy knew Kakashi was strong, so he immediately used his newly learned Chakra burst technique to swiftly rush to Kakashi, delivering a whirlwind kick.

While he hadn’t fully mastered the Body Flicker Technique (Hiraishin no Jutsu), using its speed-enhancing techniques was still possible.

“Hmm? That speed.”

Kakashi didn’t expect Might Guy to display such speed. He didn’t have time to dodge and used his arm to block Might Guy’s kick, taking a few steps backward.

Might Guy pressed his advantage, immediately charging again, trying to prevent Kakashi from using Ninja techniques through relentless attacks.

But Kakashi wasn’t Obito. To Might Guy’s surprise, he didn’t gain an advantage in taijutsu, gradually falling behind.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

Kakashi, gradually regaining the upper hand, delivered a whirlwind kick, sending Might Guy flying. With a Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), he held a kunai to Might Guy’s neck.

“Kakashi, your Leaf Whirlwind is a bit off,” Might Guy honestly corrected.

“Winning the fight is all that matters,” Kakashi said, putting away his kunai.

Having only seen Guy use it a few times, he couldn’t perfectly replicate it.

Kakashi just wanted to avenge Might Guy’s bathroom intrusion and make him feel frustrated.

He found that Might Guy didn’t react much to being defeated in his own specialty, taijutsu.

“As expected of my rival, you’re incredibly strong,” Might Guy said proudly.

In this fight, Kakashi hadn’t even used many Ninja techniques to defeat him.

Seeing Might Guy’s expression, Kakashi didn’t know what to say. A stranger might think Might Guy had won the fight.

“Next time I challenge you, I’ll be even stronger!” Fueled by the renewed sense of rivalry, Might Guy greeted Kakashi and immediately went off to train.

“Kai’s strength has increased so much lately…” Kakashi thought, watching Might Guy’s retreating back.

Might Guy’s performance today surprised him. That initial kick had genuinely taken him aback; something impossible before.
