Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Choji, talking is prohibited during class.

He looked up at Kiba Inuzuka and saw that the other was listening to the lesson attentively, but no one else would do this.

Choji Akimichi sighed.

[Received Training Reward - Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Advanced)]

Although I had already acquired this ninjutsu, Shusui, my proficiency level was only intermediate.

Because the system gave him an advanced level of proficiency this time, he could feel that he had more ways to use the Water Dragon Bullet ninjutsu.

What surprised Qiushui even more was that he no longer needed to diligently form more than forty hand seals; he only needed twelve to unleash this ninjutsu.

After class, Qiu Shui returned to her office.

"Big Bear, how was your blind date last time?" Murata Hiroshi asked, resting his elbows on the worktable.

"I'm quite satisfied this time. The woman is even more beautiful in person than in the photos." Fujino Daikuma smiled. "Not only is she gentle in her speech, but she's also very considerate to me. She even poured me drinks during the meal."

"Hey, this sounds promising!" Koji Murata pushed up his glasses, a gossipy look on his face. "Have you asked her out again?"

"It's arranged." Fujino Daikuma had a smug look on his face. "I was planning to take her to a more upscale restaurant this weekend, but she said that since we have monthly exams at school, you, as a teacher, probably won't be available. She suggested that I take her after the exams."

"Big Bear, you've really met a good woman." Murata Koji was also happy for his good brother.

"Big Bear, you need to be careful, don't get scammed," Matsumoto Mie kindly reminded him.

The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She had seen the photo of Da Xiong's blind date before. To be honest, the woman was really pretty, and you could tell from her clothes that she usually spent a lot of money. Da Xiong was just an ordinary Chunin teacher with an unremarkable appearance. His only advantage was that he had a stable job and earned 150,000 yen a month.

"Mihui, I don't like hearing you say that. Do you think I can't tell the difference between a liar and a good person?" Fujino Daikuma was immediately dissatisfied.

Matsumoto Mie was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, her woman's intuition told her that something was wrong. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but something just felt off.

"Shusui, when it comes to this matter, I should thank you the most." Fujino Daikuma immediately showed a warm smile when he saw Shusui walk in. "If you hadn't been willing to cover my classes, I would definitely have missed out on such a wonderful woman."

"Teacher Xiong, you're too kind. I'm happy for you that you've met such a wonderful woman," Qiu Shui said with a smile.

Although he shares the same idea as Matsumoto Mie, he won't say it to her face. When others are having a good time, and you don't have any evidence, why do you have to spoil their fun? Not only will it not do you any good, but it will also easily leave a bad impression.

Fujino Daikuma thought that Shusui was a very pleasant-speaking young man, no wonder he was so popular with so many students.

"Qiushui, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Fujino Daikuma invited. "How about we go out to eat together? It's on me."

"Big Bear, why did you only invite Qiushui? What about me?" Murata Koji interjected.

"Please, please, but Professor Akimizu's portion will definitely be the most luxurious," Fujino Daikuma said earnestly. "Ms. Mie, would you like to come along?"

Although Matsumoto Mie's words had upset him a bit, they had been colleagues for so many years and had a good relationship, so he wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter.

"Big Bear, I won't be going. I brought my own lunch," Matsumoto Mie said.

"What about Mizuki-sensei and Iruka-sensei?" Fujino Daikuma continued to ask.

"Thank you, Mr. Big Bear. I was patrolling around the school this morning, and I already ate when I came back," Iruka explained.

"My girlfriend, Xiaochun, made me a bento box, so I won't be going," Mizuki said, showing off a beautifully crafted bento box.

Fujino Daikuma glanced enviously at the bento box in his hand, thinking that once he got to know his blind date better, he would also ask her to make him a bento box to take to school and show off.

After school in the afternoon, Qiu Shui went to the third training ground.

"Hinata, your Water Chaos Technique is quite good. Keep it up." Shusui said, standing next to Hinata and watching a thick stream of water come out of her mouth.

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Akisui-sensei," Hinata said softly.

"Although I taught you well, I only taught you how to learn this ninjutsu, the order of hand seals, and the techniques for chakra manipulation. The fact that you were able to master it so quickly is mainly due to your own hard work," Qiushui said earnestly.

Hinata was a little embarrassed by the praise, but after Shusui's daily compliments over this period, she no longer blushed or became shy as easily as before.

Shusui told Hinata to continue practicing, then walked towards Sasuke.

"After each use of Great Dragon Fire, don't think about releasing it immediately. Instead, think about what was lacking in the last use, learn from the experience, and then make improvements. Frequent use of ninjutsu will not only make your chakra insufficient, but will also greatly reduce its effectiveness." Shusui walked to Sasuke's side, took out a bottle of water, and said, "Here, have some water and rest for a bit."

"Thank you, Master Shusui." Sasuke took the water, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and sat down on the large rock.

"Master Shusui, is there any way to accelerate ninjutsu training?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

He felt that his own Fire Dragon was far inferior to Qiu Shui's in terms of both scale and power. Qiu Shui could release four fire dragons at once, each more than ten meters long, and the shapes of the fire dragons were also lifelike. But he only released one fire dragon, which was only three or four meters long, and its shape could only be described as recognizable as a dragon.

"Sasuke, you've already made great progress by mastering a basic B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu in just half a month. Many Chunin might not be able to learn it in such a short time. No matter who you are, you can only become stronger through accumulated hard work and training," Akisui said.

"Hahaha, I finally did it!" Sasuke was about to speak when he heard Naruto's excited voice coming from not far away.

He turned his head and saw Naruto and three other shadow clones running back and forth across the surface like mad dogs.

"Shusui-sensei, I've already learned how to tread water. Could you teach me a powerful ninjutsu as well?" Naruto said, dispelling his shadow clones and running up to Shusui.

"Naruto, the monthly exam is next Monday. If I teach you ninjutsu now, you only have two days to learn it. There's basically no chance you'll be able to learn it. I'll teach you after the exam," Akisui said.
