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

Chapter 103 Inuzuka Homura? (Seeking monthly votes)

It's her habit to share anything she likes with others.

"Thank you, Ino." Hinata accepted the book, feeling flattered.

In her eyes, Ino was different from other girls like her who were invisible in class; Ino was the kind of girl who would shine wherever she went and was very popular.

"We're all sisters, no need to be so polite." Ino smiled, her eyes crinkling.

She also harbored a small selfish motive: Hinata was powerful, and bringing her into her camp would only bring her benefits.

If Sakura snatches it away, wouldn't that be a huge loss for nothing?

Sakura Haruno watched Ino's smooth and effortless actions and was immediately filled with frustration.

Why didn't she think of this first?

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential!"

Kiba Inuzuka's voice suddenly boomed from the back of the classroom.

He usually enjoys reading novels, and he bought this book the day before yesterday. He read it in one go and immediately became a loyal fan.

When I read that sentence, I couldn't suppress the surge of emotion in my chest, and I couldn't help but shout it out loud.

Although the male protagonist's experiences are not very similar to his, Sasuke has always been one step ahead of him in every aspect over the years. Even Naruto, his friend who used to be weaker than him, has now far surpassed him.

He always felt that this sentence was tailor-made for him.

Kiba even started to fantasize about how exhilarating it would be to say those words during the final exams after all the hard work he'd put in, then defeat Naruto and Sasuke and win first place in the grade.

That shout drew the attention of the entire class.

Kiba Inuzuka, who is usually carefree and doesn't care much about other people's opinions, blushed when stared at by so many people at the same time.

The school bell rang.

As Akisui walked into the classroom carrying her textbooks, she happened to hear the lingering echo of Kiba Inuzuka's words.

His gaze swept over the familiar novel cover on the desks of Sakura Haruno, Hinata, and the others, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

I never expected his novel to be so popular.

Even his own students are watching.

[Received Training Reward - Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Intermediate)]

A flood of memories about training in lightning-attribute nature transformations rushed into Qiu Shui's mind. He could clearly feel that the power of his lightning-attribute ninjutsu had increased significantly, including the way chakra was condensed, the vibration frequency of lightning, and how to guide the flow of electricity in the meridians.

After school in the afternoon, time flew by, and Friday arrived.

In the afternoon, several people sat around Qiu Shui in the teachers' office.

"Shusui, this afternoon we'll be your students for once," Fujino Daikuma said with a smile.

"I even brought my notebook." Matsumoto Mie waved the brand-new notebook in her hand, which had a small flower sticker on the cover.

Koji Murata and Iruka also looked on with anticipation.

On the surface, Shui Mu appeared calm, but in reality, she had already made up her mind to carefully observe how Qiu Shui taught the class and learn as much as she could.

The school bell rang.

Qiu Shui stood up, picked up her textbook, and led a group of five or six people behind her toward the classroom of Class 1, Grade 4.

Although Qiu Shui had informed the class yesterday that other teachers would be observing the class today, the students of Class 1, Grade 4 still felt unprecedented pressure when so many teachers appeared and sat in a row at the back of the classroom.

Normally, even one teacher standing on the podium is a bit overwhelming, let alone four or five at once.

The students sitting in front of the teacher felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qiu Shui walked up to the podium and placed the textbook to one side.

"Attend class."

"Hello, teacher!" Naruto, as the class representative, stood up from his seat and shouted loudly.

"Hello, teacher."

The other students immediately stood up in unison, and dozens of voices merged into a unified wave that echoed throughout the classroom.

Fujino Daikuma, who had just sat down, was completely stunned.

He has been teaching for so many years, always standing on the podium and giving the lesson, never even saying "Hello, teacher." He has never seen anything like this before.

Shui Mu's eyes lit up.

He really liked Qiu Shui's teaching style.

Just imagining dozens of students standing up in unison every day during class, greeting the teacher in a neat, energetic voice, makes him feel a little lightheaded.

He secretly made a decision in his heart: to start implementing it in Class 1 of Grade 5 tomorrow.

Qiu Shui nodded in satisfaction, opened the textbook, and began to lecture.

"Although the Three Body Techniques are only the most basic and simplest ninjutsu, they should not be underestimated. Whether it is a Kage-level powerhouse or an ordinary Genin, these three ninjutsu are frequently used in battles against enemies."

The Substitution Technique, once mastered, can help you avoid most fatal attacks, shielding you from a fatal blow at the last second.

While not as powerful as the Shadow Clone Technique, the Clone Technique is still very useful for ambushes, creating illusions, or acting as bait.

"As for the Transformation Technique," Qiushui paused slightly, "it is extremely important. You can transform into another person, into a shuriken you throw, or even into anything you can imagine. If you can master the Transformation Technique, most Jonin with weak sensory abilities will find it difficult to discover your true identity."

During the lecture, Qiu Shui would occasionally throw out a few jokes in a relaxed and natural tone, as if chatting with a friend. The students, who were initially tense, gradually relaxed, their shoulders became less stiff, and they would sometimes even chuckle to themselves.

After explaining the key points, Qiu Shui began asking questions.

Although a row of teachers were sitting at the back of the classroom observing the class, none of the students in Class 1 of Grade 4 wanted to embarrass Teacher Qiushui in front of others.

As soon as Qiu Shui finished speaking, all the little hands shot up, some even raised very high, as if afraid the teacher wouldn't see them.

Fujino Daikuma and Murata Koji exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in each other's eyes.

Every time they ask students to answer questions in class, they basically pretend to be dead, let alone raise their hands.

He either looked down and pretended to read a book, or he lay motionless on the table.

In the end, they had no choice but to reluctantly call on a few high-achieving students to fill the seats.

But as time went on, not only did the students who were called out find it boring, but even they themselves felt that it wasn't very effective.

The lively scene of everyone vying for attention in Qiushui's class not only made the class less boring, but also made the teachers truly feel their own value.

Iruka sat in the back row, his feelings complicated.

He always felt that these students must have been acting out his past.

When he was the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 4, apart from Sakura who would answer questions voluntarily, and Ino who would occasionally raise her hand to compete with Sakura, the other students were either sleeping or doing things unrelated to the class.

Where is this enthusiastic and proactive attitude now?

Although he knew that Class 1 of Grade 4 had changed a lot under Qiu Shui's leadership, that was only in Qiu Shui's classes.

Other teachers who went to teach, including his history class, did not receive the same changes and welcome.

After witnessing it firsthand today, Iruka could only sigh silently, "The younger generation surpasses the older."

[Received Training Reward - Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique (Max Level)]

Phoenix Flower is a C-rank Fire Release ninjutsu.

The user transformed a large amount of chakra into high-temperature flames and spat out multiple fist-sized fireballs shaped like balsam seeds from his mouth.

Unlike the Fireball Technique, which concentrates power into a single point in a straight line, the fireballs of the Phoenix Flower are scattered, flying towards the target from different angles with irregular trajectories and slight arcs, like a barrage of shotgun fire, covering a large area and making it difficult for the opponent to completely dodge.

It is mainly used to block movement, create visual obstacles, or combine with other attacks to perform combos.

Autumn Water had actually mastered this ninjutsu long ago, but his proficiency was only at the intermediate level.

After obtaining the max-level Phoenix Fire, he found that his understanding of this ninjutsu had deepened. He gained a completely new understanding of the fireball's launch angle, the fine-tuning of its flight trajectory, and its coordination with other ninjutsu.

As soon as the group sat down in the office, they started talking non-stop.

"Koji, after listening to Shusui explain the Three Body Techniques, did you suddenly feel a deeper understanding of these basic ninjutsu?" Fujino Daikuma turned around and asked Murata Koji, who was organizing documents, with a hint of reminiscence on his face.

"I feel the same way." Koji Murata stopped what he was doing and thought about it seriously. "And I found that Shusui's lectures are not only easy to understand, but the whole process is also not tiring at all, and there is not even a feeling of boredom."

He worked as a teacher for seven or eight years, doing almost all the same repetitive tasks every day.

Every time he teaches, not only do the students find it boring, but even he himself can't muster any enthusiasm.

But when I listened to Qiu Shui's lecture just now, that feeling didn't appear at all.

It's so weird.

"Shusui, I really don't know how you came up with the idea of ​​interspersing jokes during lectures," Matsumoto Mie said with a smile. "Even I can't help but laugh at those jokes."

She used to think that Qiu Shui was young, handsome, had a gentle personality, and liked to help others.

Now she has discovered another advantage: humor.

"I found the lectures a bit boring when I was in school, so I came up with this method after I became a teacher myself," Qiu Shui said. "I didn't expect it to work so well, so I've been using it ever since."

"Shusui, why do your students collect your homework in advance? Also, why does Kiba Inuzuka stand up and remind some students when they are being disruptive?" Mie Matsumoto asked again.

Qiu Shui explained to them in detail the setup of the class officers and the responsibilities and division of labor for each position.
