Mitsusuke led several students who could skillfully refine Chakra to the school playground.
Shikamaru looked at Naruto and grumbled, "Naruto really is something. Why did he have to wake the teacher? Now I can't sleep."
There were many large trees by the playground. Mitsusuke walked to a tree. "Listen up, you brats. Since you can all refine Chakra, we'll train in Tree Climbing."
"The Tree Climbing I'm teaching you isn't ordinary Tree Climbing. It's about attaching Chakra to the soles of your feet, adhering to the tree. This will greatly enhance your control over Chakra. Now, I'll demonstrate."
Mitsusuke attached Chakra to his feet and walked up the tree trunk in a horizontal position.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Naruto shouted, full of admiration.
When he reached a thick branch, Mitsusuke immediately went head-down, his feet firmly stuck to the big tree.
Being upside down was a bit uncomfortable, so Mitsusuke withdrew the Chakra from his feet and fell straight down, which startled many girls.
Just as his head was about to hit the ground, Mitsusuke exerted a slight force in his waist, instantly landing on both feet and crouching on the ground.
Standing up, Mitsusuke adjusted his pants. "From now on, I will demonstrate Ninjutsu once, and only once. If anyone fails to complete it, I guarantee you'll regret it. I'll make their years at school hell."
"So, what I teach must be learned. If you can't learn it, I'll kick you out of my class, because I only teach elites and will never tolerate stragglers in my class."
"Alright, you all practice! Naruto, come with me, I'll give you special training."
Just as he was about to leave with Naruto, Mitsusuke added, "Shikamaru, if you slack off, I'll go find your mother. I believe your mother will give you a complete childhood."
Shikamaru was planning to lean against the big tree and sleep after the teacher left. He didn't expect the teacher to pull the rug out from under him like this?
Mitsusuke took Naruto out of the school. As soon as they exited the school gate, he spoke to the rooftop on one side, "Who's on duty today?"
No sooner had he spoken than a masked person appeared in front of Mitsusuke. "It's me. Is there something you need?"
"Nothing major, just need your help," Mitsusuke said, pointing at the dazed Naruto. "Take Naruto outside the village, then throw him into the river. Do this for the next few days. He doesn't need to come to school until he can Water Walk. I'll talk to the Hokage about it. Now, take him away!"
The Anbu Personnel responsible for monitoring and protecting Naruto was a bit troubled. They were only responsible for monitoring and protecting, with no other obligations.
But Mitsusuke was from the Sarutobi Clan. Even if he was the disgrace of the sarutobi clan, he was still a member of the Hokage's clan.
After a few seconds of consideration, the Anbu still took Naruto away, heading towards the Hokage Building. He needed to report to Hokage-sama first.
The reason he wanted Naruto to learn Water Walking first was that he had discovered in previous years that Water Walking was much harder than Tree Climbing, but it was also very effective for Chakra control.
The Nine-Tails Chakra in Naruto's body had been affecting him, and to help him quickly master Substitution Jutsu, Water Walking was the best method he could think of.
Returning to the classroom, Mitsusuke saw many students occasionally glancing at the playground, unable to concentrate on their training.
Mitsusuke sat down in a chair and took out a cigarette, lighting it for himself.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Mitsusuke tapped the desk twice, drawing the attention of several students to him. "Are you very envious of those classmates who have already mastered Chakra refinement and want to practice Tree Climbing with them?"
The students didn't speak, but a few nodded. They indeed wanted to practice Tree Climbing with their classmates.
Mitsusuke's gaze swept over several students, and he started chatting with them. "I'm eight or nine years older than you. I completely understand your thoughts, but I want to tell you something."
Several students were hooked by Mitsusuke's words, looking at their teacher with curiosity, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Mitsusuke didn't play guessing games with a group of children and continued, "Your starting points are different, but your end point is the same. Instead of thinking about useless things, it's better to train hard, so you have the ability to stand by your partners, or reach the end point earlier than your partners."
"If you waste precious training time, you might not even have the qualification to stand by your partners later."
"So..." Mitsusuke's tone became slightly more serious, his gaze fixed on the few students who had been distracted. "So, train hard! Meet your partners at the peak. That is a man's true romance."
After drinking a large bowl of poisonous chicken soup, many students' eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want to meet their classmates at the peak?
The students no longer looked at their classmates on the playground, but instead concentrated on their training.
Seeing that the students had all drunk his chicken soup, Mitsusuke was very satisfied. For a modern person like him, it was too easy to fool these children, much better than those who just spouted the Will of Fire.
In the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction after hearing the Anbu's report. Mitsusuke was finally willing to diligently teach students; this was a good sign.
As for throwing Naruto into the river, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed without a second thought and even instructed the Anbu Personnel to share some experience with Naruto.
Due to the interference of the Nine-Tails Chakra, Naruto couldn't control his Chakra well, and Water Walking was indeed a good method.
After school, Mitsusuke slowly walked towards home. He hadn't received any'slacking off' points today, but he wasn't disappointed.
Mitsusuke had already decided that he would teach students for three or five days each month, and slack off the rest of the time. This was much better than never getting'slacking off' points, and it also gave Hiruzen Sarutobi an explanation.
Just as Mitsusuke was passing by the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen, he heard someone call his name from behind.
"Mitsusuke, have you finally moved on from that incident? I'm surprised you're actually willing to teach students properly now."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Mitsusuke immediately saw Asuma and Kurenai walking out of Ichiraku Ramen.
Walking up to Asuma, Mitsusuke immediately patted him down, and quickly found two packs of cigarettes on him.
"Kaisuke, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but your salary plus family subsidy isn't small, is it? Why do you always snatch my cigarettes every time we meet? I can barely afford to smoke anymore."
Mitsusuke gave Asuma a Byakugan. "Don't give me that. If you can't afford cigarettes, I'd starve."
Kurenai looked at Mitsusuke and Asuma, a smile appearing on her face. She was used to their joking behavior whenever they met.
Asuma was ten years older than Mitsusuke. When Asuma was in his rebellious phase, Mitsusuke had advised him, and because of that incident, the two became friends.
