22 Chapter 22

Today, Shuzo was very happy. His voice during class was louder, and there were even signs of extending the class time.

Kyomu also seemed like a different person today.

Not only was he spirited, but also full of vigor, as if his nonchalance had been completely replaced by diligence overnight.

For a ninja teacher, or any type of teacher for that matter, this was the greatest reward.

Which teacher wouldn't like a student who was both a genius and hardworking?

Anyway, Shuzo couldn't resist.

"Kyomu, come with me for a moment."

During break time, Shuzo called Kyomu to his office. "I was surprised by your performance today. I hope you can continue to maintain it."

"Teacher, I will."

"Very good, the teacher also believes in you." Shuzo didn't ask Kyomu about the reason for his change, but rather straightforwardly brought up another topic.

"Kyomu, I know you're a genius. Now, the course I'm teaching you is already familiar to you. The teacher doesn't want your talent to be wasted on such basic courses."

The shortcomings of teaching at the ninja school were clear to Shuzo. But it wasn't something he could change alone, nor was it possible to change.

Although people weren't divided into classes, talent and family background were present.

Leaving aside the descendants of ninja clans, even civilian students varied in talent and background.

There were few people with ninja parents or exceptional talents like himself, while ordinary ninja students with ordinary backgrounds and talents were the mainstay of the ninja school.

Therefore, taking care of these people became the main teaching policy of the ninja school, and naturally, the teaching progress could not be accelerated.

And precisely because of this, the ninja school became a school for the enlightenment education of ninjas, and the teachers leading the teams after graduation were the real main force in ninja teaching.

But Shuzo just liked geniuses like Kyomu too much, so giving him special treatment became a matter of course.

As for Kakashi, Shuzo did think about it, but his father is Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang of the Leaf, while Shuzo was just a chunin. It would be embarrassing for him to step forward.

"Kyomu, you don't have to attend the self-study classes later. You can follow me to learn some more advanced ninja knowledge." Shuzo's eyes were full of indulgence. "Until I feel there's nothing more I can teach you, I can help you apply for early graduation.

Moreover, I've been working at the ninja school for so many years. Even if I don't know many people, I can still help you find a good team leader after you graduate.

Of course, this depends on the Hokage's thoughts, but teacher will definitely do his best."

Kyomu was stunned by his words. He didn't expect Shuzo to go this far for him.

He bowed earnestly in thanks. "Teacher Shuzo, thank you for everything you've done for me."

"Haha, this is the only thing the teacher can do for you. Work hard and don't disappoint me."

"I will."

"Yeah, come with me." Shuzo stood up. "Let's go to the schoolyard. I'll teach you a simple sealing technique."

"Is it the String Light Formation?" Kyomu asked instinctively.

"Do you know this introductory sealing technique?"

"I heard about it when eavesdropping at the seniors' classroom door."

"Have you learned it?"

"I only have a vague idea."

Shuzo nodded. "Although sealing techniques are a branch of ninjutsu, their functions and usage are completely different. The String Light Formation, although simple, is the basis for learning advanced sealing techniques."

With that, Shuzo patted Kyomu's shoulder. "Study hard. Many advanced sealing techniques still incorporate elements from the String Light Formation."

"Yes, Teacher Shuzo."

Soon, Shuzo led Kyomu to the schoolyard and began explaining the tricks of the String Light Formation and the intricate sealing techniques.

Kyomu listened attentively, gradually deepening his understanding of sealing techniques.

Of course, Shuzo was also deeply involved, teaching a genius student like Kyomu was simply enjoyable.

...

At the end of the day, Shuzo was the most tired. He not only had to teach other students in the class but also had to give special attention to Kyomu.

Although tired, he was immersed in it.

Naturally, Kyomu wouldn't let Shuzo down. His progress in the String Light Formation was remarkable, mastering it completely in just one day, and fully memorizing and understanding the specific functions and application conditions of the sealing techniques contained within the String Light Formation.

Overall, Kyomu had a fulfilling day today, not in vain at all.

Of course, after school, Kyomu still needed to devote himself to intense self-training.

And Kakashi, who had skipped class again, appeared very punctually at the entrance of the ninja school, intercepting Kyomu, who was chatting and laughing with Obito and Rin.

"Coming with me?"

"Then let's go."

With a simple exchange, Kyomu and the three others became a group of four, led by Kakashi, to the edge of the Forest of Death.

"It's so remote here." Rin, being a girl, inevitably had some fear of the unknown. "What if there are wild beasts?"

"Don't worry, Rin." Obito patted his chest. "No matter what beast it is, I can protect you."

"Make sure you can survive first," Kakashi joked, "And who knows, maybe you'll be the first to run when that time comes."

"Kakashi!"

Seeing the two about to start fighting within twenty minutes of meeting, Kyomu hurriedly intervened.

Now, with a passive skill different from before. Every second he spent not training meant his progress would stagnate.

"If you two want to argue, find another place. Don't disturb my training."

"It's strange." Kakashi glanced at Kyomu's back and couldn't help murmuring.

"It does sound familiar, more and more like Might Guy's catchphrase," Obito offered some insight.

"Whatever. Although it's a bit awkward, there's some truth to it. Let's go!"

Kakashi followed suit, as did Obito.

Seeing the three boys in front of her, Rin looked at her own arms like white jade, gritted her teeth, and followed suit.

Just don't turn into a diamond Barbie, let the rest be... (T/N: Didn't understand it)
