Chapter 1: The Life Mentor System

  “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagihat one day I’d transmigrate to Konoha. And… seriously, I ended up as an ieacher?”

  “Damn it!”

  Kanda Kyoichi sat in the office, questioning his life choices.

  Just yesterday, he was struggling with elementary school kids who didn’t like male teachers. Now, those problems—along with the risk of being unemployed etting pints from parents—seemed trivial. But at this moment...

  Hearing the noisy kids outside, he couldn’t muster aement in his heart.

  The ninja world was far too dangerous!

  Konoha was retively safe, but even it wasn’t free from disasters over the years.

  Not long ago, the Battle of Kikyo Pass had just ended. Kyoichi had been injured in that flid, once his wounds were mostly healed, was assigo the Ninja Academy as a teacher.

  “Sigh, if only the Senju hadn’t deed. I could’ve just coasted through life uheir prote.”

  Kyoichi let out a sigh.

  The Kanda family carried traces of Senju blood. The Senju had once been illustrious, but…

  Starting from the First Hokage, the gradually dispersed and merged into Konoha’s popution. By the time of the Sed Hokage, only a few direct bloodlines remained. Now…

  The only one who could still be sidered a true Senju was Tsunade.

  A...

  Even Tsunade didn’t use “Senju” as her surname anymore. As for the bes of being part of the Senju , Kyoichi wasled to any of them.

  He figured the Senju blood in his veins wasn’t particurly poteher—certainly not more so than Tsuhe First Hokage’s granddaughter.

  The Sage Body? Fet about it.

  As for talent…

  At fifteen or sixteen years old, he was still only a in. That robably the best he could hope for.

  Kyoichi was deeply troubled.

  At this rate, the odds of living to old age seemed slim. After all, Konoha’s future would bring one disaster after ahe Third Shinobi War, the ails’ attack, the Konoha Crush…

  A mere in wouldn’t stand a ce against those threats. Just the aftermath of those events could easily kill him.

  “Maybe I should get my hands on some Hashirama Cells. Who knows, I might unlock Wood Release,” Kyoichi thought to himself.

  The ninja world erilous.

  Without strength, it was basically a waiting game for death.

  As he mulled over these thoughts, the bell outside suddenly rang.

  Css was over…

  “Looks like the css is mine.”

  Kyoichi was responsible for teag Ninjutsu.

  He didn’t uand why he was assighis subject. From what he’d heard, the previous instructor had died on the frontlines, and they’d just drafted him to fill the gap.

  As such, Kyoichi’s position was only temporary.

  “Oh well, let’s get this over with.”

  Ninjutsu css wasn’t particurly challenging. Basic skills like the Three Basic Teiques (Transformation, e, and Substitution) were more than enough to teach these kids.

  Just as Kyoichi stood up, a strange voice echoed in his head.

  At first, it was faint.

  But soon, the words became clear.

  [Activatior System…]

  [Activation plete!]

  [Earn rewards by teag students with dedication. Greater rewards await those who bee true life mentors.]

  [A beginner’s gift is avaible. Would you like to cim it?]

  Kyoichi froze.

  The Mentor System?

  A beginner’s gift?

  What was this, an onb package?

  After a moment of hesitatiohought, “Cim it!”

  [Your profi the Three Basic Teiques has been maxed out.]

  [Reward: Bloodline Purification.]

  [Your Senju bloodline has been purified, greatly enhang your stitution.]

  [Your Earth and Water Release teiques have been strengthened.]

  As he walked down the hallway, a flood of knowledge about the Three Basic Teiques filled Kyoichi’s mind.

  Then, a sudden rush of heat surged through his body.

  His body temperature was rising rapidly.

  Was this the purification effect?

  At first, Kyoichi was fused, but soon, he was overjoyed.

  Senju bloodline!

  Even now, the enhas to his stitutioh Release, and Water Release were already evident.

  What’s more, a stronger stitutio greater chakra reserves—an invaluable asset for the future.

  He could now start sidering things like acquiring Hashirama Cells and achieviraordinary feats.

  And with this Mentor System, who knew? Maybe he’d even unlock the Sage Body or Rinnegan someday.

  For the first time, Kyoichi felt like he had a real ce of surviving in this dangerous world.

  “What exactly does the Mentor System entail?”

  From the system’s description, it seemed that dedicated teag would yield rewards. Being a life mentor promised eveer bes.

  But what did “life mentor” mean?

  After p for a while, Kyoichi decided to put it aside for now. He o head to css and see what kind of students he had.

  As he walked, he noticed the ges in his body. His enhanced stitution made him faster and lighter on his feet.

  At the door, a familiar face caught his eye.

  It was Uchiha Obito.

  “You’re Uchiha Obito?”

  “Yes, Sensei,” Obito replied, fidgeting nervously at the door.

  “Take your seat.”

  Kyoichi didn’t o ask why—Obito was obviously te.

  Inside, he reized several more familiar faces: Rin, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi...

  And even Shisui, Anko, and Hayate Gekkō were in the css.

  The war had left maretched thin. Many teachers had beeo the frontlines, f Ninja Academy to bine csses with students of simir ages—a temporary measure that included Kyoichi’s assig.

  “Hello, everyone. My name is Kanda Kyoichi, and I’ll be your new Ninjutsu instructor.”

  “Sensei, I heard you just came back from the battlefield! you teach us some practiinja teiques?” Obito immediately shouted, full of enthusiasm.

  This guy...

  Kyoichi shot him a look, speechless.

  But Obito wasn’t the only one. Shisui, Rin, and the others were also staring at him expetly.

  They all clearly wao graduate early ao the battlefield.

  However…

  Aside from the Three Basic Teiques, Kyoichi only knew Shadow e, Body Flicker, Wild Water Wave, and Water Formation Wall—ly suitable for teag.

  Smirking, he looked around and asked, “Do you all think your Three Basic Teiques are already perfed don’t need any more practice?”

  No one answered, but their expressions said it all.

  “Fine. For today’s first lesson, I’ll assess your Three Basic Teiques. If you meet my standards, I’ll teach you something new.”

  With his mastery of the Three Basic Teiques, Kyoichi was more than capable of teag them a lesson.

  “Let’s head to the training field.”

  “Yay!”

  At the training field, Kyoichi sed the group.

  There were plenty of talented kids here, but in terms of overall ability, Obito was easily iop five—despite not having awakened his Sharingan.

  Aside from him, Shisui was likely the most promising.

  “Obito, Shisui, step forward.”

  “Yes!”

  Obito leaped into the ter enthusiastically, while Shisui followed calmly.

  “Both of you, attack me with everything you’ve got!”
