[Clarification: You are adept at resolving students' doubts, making your thoughts sharper when considering their questions.]
Mokgetsu showed a contemplative expression; the system's explanation was indeed too concise.
What counts as a student needing clarification? Hearing his lecture? Or must they admit from the heart that they are Mokgetsu's student? Or does Mokgetsu need to internally acknowledge them as a student?
Being adept at resolving students' doubts, does it mean this skill has a similar effect to that of a professor, though it only activates when students have questions?
The latter part is quite easy to understand, which is accelerating the thought process, but it's limited to students' doubts.
Mokgetsu felt that the skill of clarification resembled a fusion of a professor's and enlightenment, the former limited to teaching, and the latter to enlightenment.
Upon further reflection, Mokgetsu considered that each of these three skills has its strengths, making them difficult to compare.
"Tomorrow morning's class will still be on Chakra nature transformation, covering the Wind Attribute, Yang Attribute, and Yin Attribute," Mokgetsu pulled back his thoughts and announced the preview for the next day's teaching.
The achievement reward had already been generated, but the S-level settlement reward for the advanced class is quite impressive, so Mokgetsu would strive to deliver these seven days of lessons well.
"He even mastered Yin and Yang Attributes? How did he cultivate?" Listening to Mokgetsu talk about another three Chakra nature transformations, Hanzo was quite puzzled.
If Mokgetsu were his age, it would be understandable, but the critical thing is that Mokgetsu doesn't look very old; where did he find the time to cultivate so many abilities?
Hanzo had originally planned to leave since his identity being exposed would be very embarrassing.
But Hanzo was eager to hear Mokgetsu explain the nature of Yin Yang Chakra, so he decided to stay for another day.
"If Sosuke were a ninja from The Hidden Rock Village, that would be great," Kitsuchi lamented.
After attending Mokgetsu's class, Kitsuchi believed that Mokgetsu alone could rival a ninja squad of fifteen hundred people.
Mokgetsu's strength could match five hundred ninjas, and his teaching ability could compare to a thousand ninjas!
Unfortunately, it's not something that can happen. Nowadays, the Ninja Sect is already similar to the Rain Village in the Land of Rain, and Mokgetsu is akin to another Hanzo; inviting Hanzo to join The Hidden Rock Village is impossible, just like Hanzo would never agree to it.
"Would Sosuke agree if we commission him to help with training?" Kitsuchi thought of a good approach.
Even though Mokgetsu joining The Hidden Rock Village was out of the question, The Hidden Rock could enlist Mokgetsu's help through commissioned tasks.
Kitsuchi kept this idea in mind, preparing to report it to Onoki during the mission debrief.
The Hidden Rock had plans to use the Ninja Sect to diminish Konoha's power, which was a significant part of The Hidden Rock's grand ninja war strategy, and Kitsuchi couldn't decide alone.
"Sosuke-senpai, can you use Fire Release to have a battle with me?" Pakura approached Mokgetsu and asked.
Having only studied for a single day, and given Pakura herself was a prominent figure in the Ninja World, she only addressed Mokgetsu as a senior, not as a teacher.
"I possess a Kekkei Genkai known as Scorch Release, capable of releasing extremely hot flames; I want to witness the Fire Release that defeated a demigod." With the mindset that she was already here, Pakura wanted to see Mokgetsu's Fire Release in action.
Pakura's words made the dispersed crowd stop in their tracks and look toward Mokgetsu.
Hanzo's face darkened; did she have to mention his defeat? Did Sosuke's Fire Release never lose to anyone?
"Okay." Mokgetsu thought for a moment and agreed.
For the Ninja Sect, about to make a name for itself in the Land of Rain, having their leader's numerous victories would only help their reputation.
Besides, with his current strength, fighting Pakura was an effortless task.
The ninjas revealed expressions of excitement; watching a battle involving someone of the level of Ninja Master Sosuke was a rare sight.
After all, missions for strong individuals of this level are always top-secret, hardly ever seen, and in times of war, if seen, it's probably bad news — they might be enemies.
The ninjas moved back enough to provide a battlefield for the two, watching them from afar.
"I wonder how long this Hidden Sand hero can hold out?"
"It shouldn't be less than three minutes, right? After all, they are a renowned figure from The Hidden Sand Village."
No one believed Pakura could win against Mokgetsu; everyone was discussing when she would lose.
Even the other Hidden Sand members didn't have much confidence in their warrior, given Sosuke's widespread reputation for having defeated a demigod with reverse attributes.
"Begin," Mokgetsu said.
Pakura nodded without hesitation, immediately gathering all her Chakra to fully utilize her Kekkei Genkai.
"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!"
Seven fireballs, each the size of a human head, swiftly formed, orbiting around Pakura, and then, under her control, rapidly hurled towards Mokgetsu.
Mokgetsu focused his breathing and instantly entered the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode to enhance his Fire Release capability.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Dance!"
A massive amount of chakra gathered in Mokgetsu's throat, then under the amplification of the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, it was completely transformed into powerful Fire Attribute Chakra.
Mokgetsu formed a Tiger Seal and immediately spat out a massive area of terrifyingly high-temperature flames.
In the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, Mokgetsu generally doesn't use hand seals, but he has the habit of pretending to do so after transforming into a disguise.
The fierce flames were continuously expelled by Mokgetsu. Due to their fierce intensity and extremely high temperature, the surrounding temperature surged rapidly, and the ninjas watching soon became drenched in sweat.
"That's the technique!" Hanzo stared at Mokgetsu, remembering that it was this ninjutsu that Mokgetsu used to defeat him cleanly and efficiently.
Hanzo still couldn't forget the scene of that day.
Since it was a rainy day, the sky was very gloomy, but Mokgetsu's Fire Release brought a massive amount of light and heat, making it extremely dazzling.
As the currently strongest Water Release ninja in the Ninja World, he believed that with his attribute advantage and the weather advantage, he wouldn't lose. Yet, his Water Release was devoured by Mokgetsu's Fire Dragon Dance.
"Overestimating oneself. Thinking this level could challenge the Fire Dragon Dance," Kakuzu sneered with disdain.
When he battled Mokgetsu, Mokgetsu once used a single Fire Dragon Dance to instantly kill four of his lives.
It was later, upon understanding Mokgetsu better, that Kakuzu realized Mokgetsu had held back at that time, and if Mokgetsu hadn't had a heart free of murderous intent, all five of his lives would have been wiped out.
"Is this what a true strong man is?"
The surrounding ninjas were drenched in sweat just from watching. The pressure on Pakura, who had to face the Fire Dragon Dance head-on, was immense, in every sense.
A sea of pervasive flames surged toward Pakura, and she tried to counter with Scorch Release Flames, but the gap was simply too vast, and soon her Scorch Release Flames disappeared into the sea of fire.
Mokgetsu's perfect-level Fire Attribute Chakra, coupled with the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode amplification, made this level of attack far beyond Pakura's capability.
The sea of fire split into six massive fire dragons, blocking all of Pakura's escape routes. At that moment, it was as if Pakura could already see her fate of turning into ashes.
But just as the fire dragons reached in front of Pakura, Mokgetsu canceled the ninjutsu, and the flames dissipated.
Instant kill, undoubtedly an instant kill.
Besides those like Hanzo, Kakuzu, and Kitsuchi who had witnessed Mokgetsu's Fire Dragon Dance before, the other ninjas were all surprised.
While everyone knew that the ninja master Sosuke's Fire Release was very strong, hearing was one thing, but witnessing Sosuke using Fire Release to instantly kill such a strong Hidden Sand Hero was another.
"If it's this kind of Fire Release, defeating the demi-god Hanzo, who's known for Water Release, indeed makes sense," a ninja seemed to envision the scene of Mokgetsu's fierce battle with Hanzo from that terrifying Fire Release.
"Yes, when it comes to Fire Release mastery, no one is stronger than Lord Sosuke," the surrounding ninjas agreed.
At first, hearing that Mokgetsu beat Hanzo with Fire Release sounded ridiculous, but upon seeing it on-site, it would be ludicrous if this Fire Release could be easily extinguished by ordinary Water Release.
"Senior Sosuke, thank you for holding back," Pakura expressed her gratitude to Mokgetsu after recovering.
Since it was her who actively requested the fight, Mokgetsu would have been justified even if he had injured her, as it was her active request.
"No need," Mokgetsu replied with a faint smile.
After returning to the Ninja Sect Base, Mokgetsu tried to test the effects of his new skill, Enlightenment.
Mokgetsu's method was simple: he casually wrote some large-number multiplication and division problems for Nagato, and then had Nagato come to him if he didn't understand, while Mokgetsu explained the problems.
Mokgetsu then did a different set of problems that he hadn't given Nagato, comparing feelings, to naturally determine if Nagato was considered a student by Enlightenment.
The final test result was that Enlightenment was triggered. Mokgetsu could clearly feel that his problem-solving speed increased when doing the problems given to Nagato.
"Does this mean all disciples can be considered within the scope of Enlightenment students?" Mokgetsu speculated in his heart.
There was a great possibility, because the system clearly favored disciples, and it wouldn't reward a teaching skill that disciples couldn't use.
However, since Obito and the others were all in Konoha, Mokgetsu couldn't test it temporarily.
Next, Mokgetsu began to test non-disciples. He first found Konan and Yahiko, and the result was successful. They were also recognized as students by Enlightenment.
Mokgetsu then sought out a few recently joined Ninja Sect members, but the Enlightenment trigger failed.
"Seems at least one must learn from me for a period before being recognized as a student by Enlightenment," Mokgetsu concluded.
The judgment of Enlightenment was quite lenient, and Mokgetsu immediately thought of many methods to develop Enlightenment.
For instance, in perfecting the Yang Seal he's working on, if Tsunade who's helping is considered a student, then the development speed of the Yang Seal would increase.
Also, in developing various Breathing Techniques, if he assigns tasks to the disciples during lectures for them to ponder, then it could become a query, accelerating Mokgetsu's research on Breathing Techniques.
However, as Mokgetsu continued to test, he discovered an issue: if the previous disciple's query wasn't resolved, then the next query's effect would diminish, and after five, it was nearly nonexistent.
Fortunately, triggering Enlightenment had conditions: the student must communicate with Mokgetsu, the student must have a query, and Mokgetsu must have the intention to enlighten, only then could it truly be triggered. Otherwise, if a student's mind brightened randomly and they uttered a few sentences, the skill would be wasted.
Additionally, resolving a query also has its techniques. For instance, if a student asked how to become the strongest in the Ninja World, Mokgetsu only needed to devise a training plan for them to successfully resolve the query, rather than having the student actually become the strongest.
