Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 679: The Sixth Largest Ninja Force?
The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

Unlike when they left, since Mu Yue did not inform the Shinobi Clan of the specific time of their return, there were no Shinobi Clan ninjas to greet them when they returned to Liudao City.

However, after Mu Yue and his companions entered the city, the news spread quickly. When Mu Yue and his companions returned to the Ninja Sect’s base, a group of Ninja Sect ninjas gathered together.

"Teacher Sosuke, welcome back!" the Ninjas of the Shinobi Clan shouted excitedly.

Although they all knew that their leader was very powerful, their opponent was the Third Hokage who stood at the top of the ninja world, so it was impossible not to worry.

So when they saw Sosuke coming back safely, the Shinobi clan ninjas were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Theoretically, it is not a good behavior to worship someone like this, but that person is Sosuke, the founder of the New Ninja Sect.

In the eyes of many Shinobi clan ninjas, Sosuke is equivalent to the Six Paths Sage of the new era and cannot be generalized.

"I told you I'll be back soon." Mu Yue said with a faint smile.

Kakuzu heard this and smiled without saying anything. Who would have thought that everything Sosuke said about his strength was true, and not a single word was a lie just to comfort or boost morale.

Sometimes the truth sounds worse than a lie.

No one asked about the outcome of the battle. All the Shinobi clan tacitly avoided the topic and just celebrated the return of their leader.

It was not until Mu Yue returned to the office to work that someone asked Nagato Laozi and other accompanying ninjas about the outcome of the battle.

From the perspective of reputation and prestige, it is not shameful for Sosuke to lose to Sarutobi Hiruzen, a senior who has been dominating the ninja world for decades.

But losing is not a good thing after all. The leader was forced to fight for the sake of the Ninja Clan and finally returned safely. Of course, they cannot take the initiative to hurt him.

"We won." The answer given by the accompanying ninjas was very concise.

If Sosuke's victory was difficult, they might avoid talking about the outcome of the battle in order to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

But Sosuke won so easily, almost a crushing victory, and Sosuke didn't specifically remind us not to leak the challenge, so there was no reason not to tell anyone.

What does it have to do with them if Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha lose face? If you have the guts, come and fight again.

The Shinobi clan ninjas have not forgotten that Konoha's first request was "Sosuke commit suicide". It was obvious that Konoha wanted to kill their leader, but they didn't expect their leader to be so strong, and they ended up losing the battle.

"Won? Sensei Sosuke defeated the Third Hokage?" Many Shinobi from the Shinobi Clan showed surprised expressions on their faces and asked uncertainly.

They thought it was great that Sosuke could lose narrowly and come back safely, but they didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

"Not only did he win, but he won very easily. Sarutobi Hiruzen was no match for Sosuke at all." Kakuzu explained.

The Ninjas of the Shinobi Clan were all stunned. It was not even a narrow victory, but an overwhelming victory.

The accompanying ninjas nodded secretly in their hearts when they saw this. They were terribly surprised at the scene, and they couldn't be the only ones who were shocked.

"An easy victory! Sensei Sosuke is so strong!" Even Yahiko looked surprised.

He believed that Sosuke could defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he didn't expect it to be an easy victory.

"Konoha just watched the Third Hokage lose and did nothing?" Yahiko asked confusedly.

He felt that Konoha was targeting Sosuke, and according to his speculation, Konoha would use any means necessary to kill Sosuke.

Could it be that he thought wrong?
"Of course not, they wanted to interfere with the battle, but failed." Kakuzu shook his head disdainfully.

If Sosuke hadn't killed them, all these Konoha ninjas would have died.

"Everyone, go away. Don't worry about Konoha's affairs. The sky won't fall as long as Sosuke is here."

Kakuzu no longer cares about Konoha.

With the strength shown by Sosuke, even if the five major ninja villages want to attack the Ninja Clan, they have to carefully consider whether they can withstand Sosuke's revenge.

The Shinobi clan ninjas left happily after receiving the good news.

Their biggest hope was that Sosuke would return safely, but they didn't expect that Sosuke not only came back, but also brought them such a big surprise.

The Shinobi clan ninjas became happier the more they thought about it, and subconsciously quickened their pace and left quickly.

They couldn't wait to share this happy event with their companions who were unable to come for various reasons.

As a result, the news quickly spread within the Shinobi Clan. Except for the ninjas who were on missions, basically all the Shinobi Clan ninjas in Six Paths Castle knew that their leader had defeated the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As time passed, various news spread in Liudao City.

This aroused the doubts of the Iwagakure ninja.

"What the hell is going on? Sosuke is not dead. What happened to Konoha?"

In a dome-shaped stone house in the style of the Land of Earth in Rokudo Castle, a Iwagakure jonin expressed his confusion to his companions.

"Who knows? Maybe, as the rumors say, Sosuke defeated Sarutobi Hiruzen and returned safely." The burly Iwagakure frowned.

Sosuke's successful return disrupted their plans.

Their original plan was to take advantage of Konoha's attempt to kill Sosuke to put some pressure on the Shinobi Clan and make the Shinobi Clan a hidden pawn of Iwagakure.

It's not for Konoha, but to plan for the next fifty years.

If you can't defeat Konoha, which has the second God of Ninja, then just wait and see, and let Konoha enjoy itself for fifty years.

"Brother Huoguang, how credible do you think this news is?"

The Iwagakure who spoke first looked at Huoguang who was sitting at the main seat at the conference table and asked.

"It's most likely true." Huoguang said after hesitating for a moment.

“Since even ordinary people in Six Paths Castle have learned about it, it is only a matter of time before the news spreads throughout the ninja world.

If this is fake news, it will inevitably further deepen the conflict between the Shinobi Clan and Konoha, and increase the possibility of Konoha sending troops to the Shinobi Clan. Only a brainless idiot would speak without considering the consequences, and Sosuke is obviously not such an idiot.

It could only be that Sosuke was not afraid of conflicts with Konoha, so Sosuke should have won against Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was not just a simple win. "

"This is not good news for us. We must quickly mobilize our forces to conduct a thorough investigation and then report to the village." Huoguang said seriously.

In the past, the Iwagakure Village valued the Ninja Clan largely because of Sosuke's personal strength.

Now the people of Iwagakure Village are hoping that Sosuke will die soon.

Because they discovered that with Sosuke around, the Iwagakure Village would never be able to control the Ninja Clan.

Even though Oonoki had offered considerable benefits, Sosuke's attitude remained firm. He was willing to cooperate economically, but nothing else was negotiable.

Sosuke's determination and the conflict between the Ninja Clan and Konoha made Oonoki change his strategy.

Sosuke is very strong, but the Ninja Clan also has a top genius, Nagato, who may become stronger than Sosuke when he grows up.

However, Ōnoki also knew that as long as Sosuke was alive, not only Nagato, but even ordinary ninjas of the Shinobi Clan would never turn to the Iwagakure Village.

So the death of Sosuke is very important. Sosuke who died in Konoha's hands is a good partner for Iwagakure. "Yes!" The Iwagakure ninjas nodded one after another.

The information was verified faster than Huo Guang had imagined, as the Shinobi of the Shinobi Clan did not take this as a secret at all.

The attitude of the Ninja Clan made Huo Guang believe it even more.

So he quickly integrated the information he had collected, wrote some of his personal thoughts in it, and sent it back to the Iwagakure Village.

Ohnoki attached great importance to the layout of the Rain Country. When he learned that there was important intelligence coming from the Rain Country, he simply put aside other relatively unimportant matters.

"Hmm?" When Oonoki saw Sosuke defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen, a question mark appeared in his mind.

He checked it carefully and confirmed that this was the important information sent from Iwagakure in the Land of Rain, and not someone's prank.

Ohnoki continued to read the intelligence with a serious expression, reading every word carefully.

"Sosuke actually has such strength." Oonoki tapped the table with his fingers rapidly, and his expression became a little unsightly.

When seeing this information, the first thing Oonoki thought of was not controlling the Ninja Clan, but it was a pity that Sosuke did not agree to his plan to surround and kill Mu Yue.

If Sosuke joins in, then even if the Third Mizukage backstabs him, he should still be able to kill Mu Yue.

However, not only did Sosuke not agree to the encirclement and killing plan, he also refused to die peacefully, disrupting the Iwagakure's layout.

"It would be better if Sarutobi Hiruzen died." Oonoki sighed.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen died, it would be another perfect opportunity to cause trouble.

But Ōnoki knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was definitely not dead, otherwise Konoha would not have taken no action at all.

Ōnoki was really speechless. The death of either Sosuke or Sarutobi Hiruzen would be good for Iwagakure, but yet neither of them died.

Now Ohnoki's Ninja Clan's plan has been disrupted and he can't do anything. He can't take over Konoha and can't do anything.

"Ninja Clan, Konoha..."

Ohnoki fell into deep thought.

Konoha is full of talented people and has gained a lot of money and resources through the war. If there are no accidents, it will surely prosper in the future.

With the powerful Sosuke in charge, and an excellent geographical location, the Ninja Clan's development potential is visibly huge.

"No, we have to determine the details of the battle." Ohnoki felt that Iwagakure still had to take action.

It is unlikely to compete with Konoha for the first ninja village, but Ōnoki does not want Iwagakure to lag too far behind Konoha.

As for the Ninja Clan, Ohnoki no longer dares to underestimate it.

If Sosuke's strength approaches or even reaches the level of Senju Hashirama, then the Shinobi Clan will most likely become the sixth largest ninja force, and it is not impossible for the Rain Country to become the sixth largest country.

Of course, there was no way Oonoki would just sit back and watch all this happen.

The cake of the ninja world is only this big. If there is one more big force, the piece of cake that Iwagakure can get will be even smaller.

……

The land of fire, Konoha.

The day after the Jonin Conference, Kakashi went to the commercial street to buy breakfast after morning exercise. He saw that the Konoha newspaper had published a new issue, so he bought one.

The newspaper headline read "From Chunin Teacher to Hokage Assistant".

Kakashi thought that the Konoha newspaper would write headlines. Even if he was not familiar with Mu Yue and did not know who the person reported in the newspaper was, seeing such a headline would arouse his interest in reading.

There is no other reason, the gap between these two identities is too great.

The role of a Chunin teacher is a job that ordinary ninjas are willing to take and that almost everyone can become.

The salary of a teacher is less than the commission money for going out on missions. It is not busy but not easy either. Ambitious Chunins generally do not choose to become teachers in ninja schools.

However, the position of Assistant Hokage is different. It is a high-level position that can determine the direction of Konoha. Only ninjas who are strong and have made sufficient contributions can hold this position.

Walking to the breakfast shop, Kakashi skillfully ordered breakfast, and then ate while watching.

"The 18-year-old Hanyu Muyue is a young teacher who has just entered the Ninja School. He has no teaching experience, so he first asks his seniors for advice, and then makes improvements in actual teaching activities..."

The newspaper first talked about Mu Yue's deeds in the Ninja School.

For example, they proposed large classes with multiple classes at the same time, which alleviated the situation of insufficient teaching staff in the ninja school at that time and caused teachers to be busy. They also established a holiday tutoring and internship system, which significantly improved the quality of the Genin who graduated that year.

The most commendable thing is the performance of Mu Yue's class, which is far ahead of all other classes. Even if you look back to the information when the Ninja School was first established, you will not find a class that can be compared with Mu Yue's class.

Not to mention being comparable, there is nothing even slightly inferior to her, which fully demonstrates Mu Yue's teaching level.

The fact that Mu Yue has a good eye and can discover talents can be said to be the reason why she has taught several talented disciples, but the fact that so many people in a class are all excellent can only be explained by their abilities.

Kakashi graduated early, and when Mu Yue became a teacher at the Ninja School, he had already graduated for almost three years, so it was quite interesting to read about Mu Yue's experience in the Ninja School.

The Konoha newspaper did not spend too much time on the ninja school. After explaining Mu Yue's various contributions, it quickly turned to the Third Ninja World War.

"The strongest hero of Konoha in the Third Ninja World War." Just from this subtitle, Kakashi could feel Sarutobi Hiruzen's support for Mu Yue, even using his strongest strength.

However, considering Mu Yue's battle record, there is nothing wrong with using the strongest one.

On the battlefield of Kirigakure, Mu Yue first killed Kirigakure's famous ice-style ninja Mizunotsuki Kan and several ninja swordsmen, and then killed the Jinchuriki in a crucial battle of Kirigakure's surprise attack to reverse the situation.

In the war with Iwagakure, Mu Yue took advantage of the situation and used Iwagakure's spies to set a trap for Iwagakure, thus accomplishing the feat of defeating two thousand with one thousand.

In the second battle with Kirigakure, Mu Yue used Wood Release to capture thousands of Kirigakure, laying the foundation for victory in the final battle.

If Mu Yue's achievements were given to any Konoha ninja, it would be enough to make that person famous and successful. If they were reported together, the effect would be simply explosive.

After Kakashi finished his breakfast, he could hear many people discussing on the streets of Konoha.

"No wonder Assistant Mu Yue became the Hokage's assistant at such a young age. It turns out he has made so many contributions."

"Yeah, I can't imagine how difficult it would have been for Konoha in the past few years without Mu Yue's assistance."

Kakashi listened for a while and felt that the votes of ordinary ninjas and the public might be even more different than the votes of the jonin.

After all, there may be some die-hard fans of Orochimaru among the jonin, but the same may not be true for the larger number of ordinary ninjas and civilians.

"I heard from the merchants who came yesterday that there seems to be a rumor out there that our Hokage was defeated by that Sosuke from the Ninja Clan."

"These small ninja forces are so despicable that they even made up such rumors to slander our Sandaime-sama."

"Yeah, he even defeated the Sandaime-sama. What a boaster! Why doesn't he just say that he is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Kakashi paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then walked towards the Southern Forest.
