Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 670: Sosuke VS Sarutobi Hiruzen
The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

Ninja Clan office building, leader's meeting room.

"Teacher Sosuke, I would like to go to the border with you as your guard." Yahiko explained his purpose.

Konoha held two negotiations with the Ninja Clan in total. In addition, the affairs of Shimura Danzo had long spread throughout the ninja world, so the tense relationship between the Ninja Clan and Konoha was no secret in the Ninja Clan.

In addition, Mu Yue did not specifically order that the negotiation results be kept secret, so most of the middle and high-level leaders of the Ninja Clan knew that Mu Yue was going to fight with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Yahiko instantly lost his composure after hearing this. After the battle, the incident of Danzo Shimura was over. It seemed like Konoha wanted to use this as bait to kill Sosuke.

However, Yahiko felt that with Sosuke's intelligence, he would not be unable to see Konoha's thoughts, and he must have his reasons for agreeing to this condition, so Yahiko did not question the negotiations themselves, but just wanted to go along.

Yahiko did not doubt Sosuke's ability, but things are unpredictable and who can guarantee what Konoha will do.

Although he is not as good as the monstrous Nagato, he is still considered outstanding among the jonin.

Before Mu Yue could say anything, there was a knock on the door again.

"Come in." Mu Yue said, looking towards the door.

After receiving a response from Sosuke, Kakuzu pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Yahiko, Kakuzu was not too surprised and asked Sosuke:
"Have you arranged the accompanying ninjas? Add me in and let me see your full strength."

Sosuke showed too much confidence, and he said with his own mouth that he didn't even use 20% of his strength when he defeated him. Kaku was very curious about how strong Sosuke was.

Kakuzu is a ninja who has seen the world. He has even fought against the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju. Although he was easily beaten by Hashirama Senju, it was still a fight after all.

Today, Konoha's Hanyu Muzuki is a powerful figure in the ninja world and is considered by many ninjas to have the potential to become the second Ninja God.

Kakuzu was wondering if Sosuke could be the second Uchiha Madara? In terms of strength alone.

Mu Yue was about to speak when there was another knock on the door.

"Enter."

Nagato pushed the door open and was stunned to see Kakuzu and Yahiko standing inside.

"Teacher Sosuke, I would like to go to the border with you." Seeing that neither of them spoke, Nagato closed the door and explained his purpose.

Nagato is the only one who knows about Sosuke's connection with Hanyu Mugetsu.

Nagato is not worried that Mu Yue will lose to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Mu Yue's strength in any of his identities is amazing, which is enough to show that Mu Yue's true strength is even stronger than what is shown in his two identities.

But he felt that Mu Yue would be very uncomfortable being caught between the Ninja Clan and Konoha, and was a little worried about this. He thought something might happen, so he wanted to go with her.

dong dong.

Just as Nagato finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

Yahiko and Kakuzu's expressions became subtle. Could it be that...

"Come in." Mu Yue said.

Xiaonan and Lao Zi walked in together.

The two men saw the three people standing in the office and paused slightly, revealing somewhat surprised expressions.

"You go first." Lao Zi said to Xiao Nan.

They met on the way to the leader's office, not because they were looking for Sosuke together.

"Teacher Sosuke, I want to go with you..."

As soon as Xiaonan opened his mouth, the four people in the office all looked strange.

Xiaonan couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression, and subconsciously observed his clothes with his peripheral vision, and found that they were as neat and clean as usual, with nothing unusual.

"It's not that I don't want to agree, but if you all leave, who will handle the affairs of the Ninja Clan?" Mu Yue smiled helplessly.

It’s okay if two or three people go, but if too many middle and senior management go, who will do the work?

Just as Kakuzu was about to say something, there was another knock on the door.

Next, several veterans from the early days of the Ninja Clan walked into the office one after another and expressed their desire to go to the battle site with the leader.

Soon the office was packed with people, leaving the last person to arrive stunned.

"How about this, let's decide by drawing lots." Mu Yue finally decided to take four people away by drawing lots, and then select five ninjas with good performance from the Ninja Clan to show the world.

After all, these people are veterans who have traveled around the ninja world with him, and he cannot favor one over the other.

Mu Yue's decision was recognized by everyone.

They also knew that it was impossible for them to go together. They were all middle and high-level leaders of the Ninja Clan. It would be disastrous if they all left.

The lottery method is also very simple. Put the numbers in a box and let everyone draw. Only those who draw the four numbers one, two, three, and four can go with Mu Yue.

"Sun, do you have any method to see through things?" Lao Zi wanted to cheat.

The reason is simple, he thinks he is the strongest and can help Sosuke if there is a problem, this is cheating with good intentions.

"I don't have that ability." Four-Tails shrugged to indicate that he was powerless.

It can fight without any problem, but it really can't find the corresponding ability to draw lots or cheat.

Lao Zi had no choice but to draw the lot honestly, but to his surprise, his luck was unexpectedly good today and he drew number four.

In addition, Nagato drew number one, Kakuzu drew number two, and Ji Chang also drew number three.

"Oh, I just have bad luck today." Yahiko sighed and scratched his hair.

He drew number five, which was exactly one number short.

"Even if you don't go to the scene, you can still cheer for Mr. Sosuke in your heart." Konan comforted.

After saying that, Xiaonan walked up to Sosuke and handed him a paper flower, "I wish you all the best, Mr. Sosuke."

"Thank you." Mu Yue accepted it with a smile and placed the flowers on the office desk.

……

On the day of departure, the ninjas who did not win the lottery gathered together to see Sosuke off.

Some of the more sentimental ninjas even had tears in their eyes.

They didn't know how strong Sosuke was, but they knew that the Third Hokage was one of the top ninjas in the world.

So in the eyes of many people, Sosuke was forced to agree to this extremely dangerous battle in order to preserve the Ninja Clan.

"We must work hard and practice diligently to expand the Ninja Clan as soon as possible so that we don't have to worry about the faces of the five major Ninja Villages anymore!" This was the inner thought of many ninjas who were seeing them off.

In their hearts, Sosuke is the greatest ninja in the Rain Country, even Hanzo cannot be compared with him.

How could they not feel uncomfortable seeing their leader, the person they admire, being wronged in this way?

"I'll only be away for a few days at most. Why do you act like I won't be back for a long time?" Mu Yue smiled and counselled everyone.

After Mu Yue said this, the Shinobi clan ninjas were even more moved. They thought that their great leader Sosuke was worthy of being able to maintain such an attitude to comfort them even at this time.

Mu Yue had no choice. In this situation, even if he said that he could definitely beat Sarutobi Hiruzen, it would be useless. These people already thought that he was sacrificing for the Ninja Clan. "Teacher Sosuke, you must come back safely. I still want to hear you talk about the Ninja Clan's ideology." A Ninja Clan ninja said reluctantly.

These words instantly aroused the emotions of the ninjas who were seeing them off, and they all shouted along.

The expressions of the nine ninjas who were able to go to the border with Mu Yue also became heavy, and they felt the burden on their shoulders.

Sosuke's importance to the Rain Country and the Ninja Clan is self-evident.

Without a soul figure like Sosuke, can the Ninja Clan still maintain such vitality? No one dares to give a definite answer.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll be back soon." Mu Yue gave all the Shinobi clan ninjas a warm and confident smile.

After saying that, Mu Yue led Nagato and the others all the way eastward.

On the way, Mu Yue's real body arrived and found an opportunity to replace the shadow clone.

When Mu Yue was about to reach the mountain where the battle was scheduled, Mu Yue used his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings and found that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were climbing the mountain on the other side.

As for Orochimaru and the negotiation team he led, they were already on the mountainside because they arrived early.

In the end, Mu Yue and others reached the mountainside at about the same time as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The two sides stood opposite each other, sizing each other up.

But no matter which side, most people's eyes were focused on the leader. On the Konoha side it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, and on the Ninja Clan side it was Mu Yue.

Kage is the pinnacle of the ninja world. It is very difficult to meet a Kage if you are not from the same ninja village.

As for Sosuke, he is also a mysterious and powerful man in the eyes of Konoha ninjas.

He suddenly appeared in the Rain Country, founded the Ninja Clan, stirred up the situation in the Rain Country, and quickly became famous in the Ninja world.

"Is this the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha? He has such a powerful aura!"

Several weaker Shinobi from the Ninja Clan felt tremendous pressure just by being glanced at by Sarutobi Hiruzen's sharp eyes.

"Ninja Master versus Ninjutsu Professor, it's hard to imagine the ensuing battle." Kakuzu thought to himself.

Kakuzu had seen the First Hokage, but had never seen the Third Hokage.

Although he had never seen it, Kakuzu had heard a lot about the Third Hokage's deeds.

Legend has it that this Hokage has mastered most of Konoha's ninjutsu secrets, and his methods are beyond ordinary people's imagination. No one can restrain him in battle, but it is very easy for them to restrain him.

However, Kakuzu felt that Sosuke should not be restrained by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Judging from Sosuke's level in theoretical classes, Sosuke's other attributes of ninjutsu would not be bad either.

"In addition to Orochimaru, the elders of Konoha are also here." Lao Zi noticed Mito Kado En next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As a former enemy of Konoha, Lao Zi is no stranger to this Konoha high-ranking official.

After becoming a high-ranking official, Mizuto Kado En rarely took action, but before that, Mizuto Kado En was also a famous genius ninja in Konoha.

Lao Zi was glad that he came here, otherwise with so many strong people on the Konoha side, if the battle was not favorable to Konoha, the one-on-one battle would probably be disturbed.

"He is Sosuke? So young." Mizuto Menyan thought as he looked at Mu Yue's appearance after his transformation.

Although Mu Yue looks older than his original form after his transformation, to Mizuto Menyan who is approaching old age, this is considered young.

"Former bounty ninja Kakuzu, the number one genius in the ninja world Nagato..." Then Mito Kado En turned his attention to other ninjas of the Shinobi Sect.

He didn't think that such a young Sosuke could defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He does have the ability to defeat Hanzo, but that's all.

Having prepared the antidote in advance, Mito Kado En was confident that he could defeat Hanzo, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was much stronger than him.

"The strongest fighters are here, but I won't let you interfere with Hiruzen's battle." Mito Kado En estimated the strength of both sides and then felt completely relieved.

Their individual and overall strength are superior to that of the Ninja Clan.

"I hope it doesn't get too ugly." Shisui, who was standing next to Orochimaru, sighed.

He didn't want to see the Ninja Clan and Konoha standing on opposite sides, but he had no way to stop it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze quickly swept over all the people in the Ninja Clan, finally stopping on the ninja with short brown hair and wearing a long robe.

"Senior Sarutobi, nice to meet you." Mu Yue greeted him with a faint smile.

Sosuke's action was somewhat beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations. He imagined that Sosuke would be more uneasy.

After all, the next person to face is the Third Hokage who is feared by the ninja world, the leader of the strongest ninja village, and the true pinnacle of the ninja world.

"Nice to meet you." Sarutobi Hiruzen responded indifferently.

Don't hit a smiling person. He did have the intention to kill Sosuke, but Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that Shimura Danzo's death was mainly caused by his own actions, and nothing would happen if he didn't assassinate him.

If we have to say what Sosuke did wrong, it was that his power was too weak and his excessive defense led to provoking a force he could not afford to offend.

"Do you want to start now?" Mu Yue asked.

As he spoke, Mu Yue gave Sarutobi Hiruzen an appraisal.

The chakra's appraisal results are still similar to those from a few years ago, but there has been some improvement in skills.

[Name: Sarutobi Hiruzen]

【技能：组合忍术（精通级：14000/15000）、火属性查克拉性质变化（精通级：9000）、土属性查克拉性质变化（精通级：7500）、雷属性查克拉性质变化（精通级：6100）……】

The first time Mu Yue used the upgraded identification technique to check Sarutobi Hiruzen's panel, he was deeply impressed by the densely packed skills.

At that time, he thought that if he had a panel that surpassed Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would not have to worry about survival and could do what he wanted.

He has been working hard for four years, and with a little help from the system, he now has as many skills as Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he even has several perfect-level skills that Sarutobi Hiruzen does not have.

He is now indeed doing what he wants to do, using his knowledge and abilities to bring some changes to this world full of tragedy.

"Just now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this and looked at the Konoha ninjas, signaling them to retreat.

The battle between the strong is dangerous to ordinary ninjas even if it is just the aftermath.

Mu Yue also signaled with his eyes that the Ninja Clan should retreat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very powerful, and is even more prominent when there is no cheating, so Mu Yue will show his true abilities.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to cause trouble, Mu Yue would not be polite. It just so happened that some of his powerful abilities had not yet been put into practice.

Orochimaru stared at the battlefield. He hadn't seen Sarutobi Hiruzen take action personally for a long time.

PS: Modified some descriptions of no lower limit in the previous chapter.

Xiaoju accidentally remembered something wrong. It wasn't that the No Lower Limit couldn't defend against poison gas, but that the Five Prison Master had just learned the reversal technique, and when developing the fully automatic No Lower Limit, he couldn't identify things like poisons very well.

Also, why should I learn from Kakashi? Don’t you think they look alike?
Of course, Kakashi also lacks some means, which is also appropriate in the setting of my book.
