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

Lightning Release: Earth Walk is a C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu. The user injects a large amount of Lightning Release chakra into the ground, and the electric current spreads rapidly as if it were running across the ground. However, the distance is not far, only about 20 meters, and the power is not great. After hitting the target, it can only paralyze the enemy, making them unable to move, and at the same time cause some electric shock damage.

Looking at the reward, Qiu Shui was a little puzzled. Why were she being given such low-level ninjutsu these past two days?

As soon as Akisui returned to his office and sat down at his desk, Fujino Daikuma immediately approached him and said awkwardly, "Akisui-sensei, I remember you don't have any classes tomorrow afternoon. Could you cover for my fifth-grade class 1's ninjutsu lesson again?"

"Substituting for me is no problem, but are you feeling unwell, Teacher Xiong?" Qiu Shui asked.

Although he never refuses to substitute for any teacher, he always asks for the reason.

Qiu Shui knew very well that if she agreed without even asking, others wouldn't think she was helping, but rather that she was a pushover who was entitled to do these things. Over time, she would become an honest person who could be bullied at will.

Just like Iruka, Akisui often saw Mizuki asking him to do this or that, sometimes without even giving a reason. Iruka would just do it silently without asking any questions.

"It's still about blind dates." Fujino Daikuma scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "The last one didn't work out, so my family arranged another one for me. This time, they were very serious, saying that the other person's appearance and figure are absolutely the same as in the photos, and there won't be any more cases of being misled by photos."

"That's good. Teacher Xiong, you can go ahead without worry. Leave the class to me." Qiu Shui readily agreed.

"Akisui, thank you so much." Fujino Daikuma said gratefully, patting his chest. "Whether this works out or not, I'll cover your meals for next week. You can order whatever you want for lunch every day."

The next afternoon, in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 5.

Several students huddled together and whispered among themselves before class started.

"Hey, haven't you guys noticed that ever since Ms. Qiushui came to substitute for me, I can't concentrate on Mr. Da Xiong's classes anymore?"

"That's right! Although Mr. Xiong's lectures used to be boring, at least I could still listen to them. But now, whenever I listen to his lectures, I can't help but drift off, and my mind is filled with images of Mr. Qiu Shui's lectures."

"Me too, me too. Now when I take Professor Shui Mu's class, I always compare it with Professor Qiu Shui's class. I feel that his lectures are not as interesting as before. They are both homeroom teachers, so why is there such a big difference?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you..." a student immediately reminded him when the class bell rang.

"Mr. Big Bear has something to attend to, so I will continue to teach today's ninjutsu class," Qiu Shui said gently as she walked into the classroom and stood on the podium.

"Damn, is your mouth blessed? Last time you mentioned Teacher Qiushui, he came to substitute for the class, and this time you mentioned Teacher Qiushui again, and he came to substitute for the class again," a student asked in surprise.

"Then I'll say it a few more times in the future," the student who was asked replied, somewhat bewildered.

"Teacher Qiushui, I'm sorry, I'm late." Ten minutes after class started, Xiao Li ran to the classroom door, panting, and said.

"Hahaha, Xiao Li, what are you wearing?" A burst of laughter immediately filled the classroom.

Qiu Shui also turned to look over. When he came to substitute teach before, Xiao Li was still wearing that light gray casual clothes, but now he had changed into the same green bodysuit as Might Guy.

"Come in," Qiu Shui said gently to him.

As Xiao Li walked into the classroom and sat down, his deskmate Tian Tian asked curiously, "Xiao Li, why are you wearing these clothes to school?"

She was worried that Xiao Li might be under too much pressure due to the approaching graduation, which could lead to mental health issues.

Although Xiao Li's grades were poor, Tian Tian felt that he was a very innocent and friendly person. She was always extra serious when cleaning the classroom with him. Many times, her friends would ask her to go out and play after school, but when it was her turn to clean, she would ask him for help and he never refused.

Xiao Li said with a serious face, "Teacher Qiu Shui found me a teacher to train me and improve my strength. This outfit was developed by the father of one of the teachers. He said that wearing this will make you feel full of power when you exercise."

Tian Tian's family owns a weapons shop. Although she is only eleven years old, she has six years of work experience. She knows a lot about training uniforms. However, after observing them, she found that the uniform only provides basic wear resistance and protection and doesn't seem to have any other effects.

"Perhaps this garment has some amazing function designed into it," Tian Tian thought to herself.

[Talent training completed]

Overall Rating: B

[Received Training Reward - Water Attribute Chakra Training Form Transformation (Intermediate)]

A flood of memories about intermediate-level Water Release Chakra Transformation training appeared in Qiu Shui's mind. He discovered that after obtaining this reward, using ninjutsu like Water Dragon Bullet and Water Barrier, which have certain requirements for appearance, would be much easier.

"Does the evaluation and reward system not only require good lecture content, but also a certain level of quality and quantity of talent?" Through his time teaching substitutes, Qiu Shui gradually figured out this mechanism.

He was certain that the quality of his lectures and his mental state during lectures were no different from those in Class 1 of Grade 4. However, Class 1 of Grade 4 would almost always receive an A grade after each lecture, and the rewards would be much better.

Then, in Class 1 of Grade 5, they got B grades twice in a row. And this is with Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten in this class. In a class that doesn't even have an A grade, the reward is D grade ninjutsu or chakra.

However, this is just Qiu Shui's current speculation. Further experiments are needed to fully prove this new mechanism.

At six o'clock in the evening, Qiu Shui returned to his house located in the Third Ring Road of the main urban area.

Pushing open the door, I found Kurenai Yuhi curled up on the sofa, flipping through a ninjutsu notebook.

Since Kurenai always got home earlier than him, when she returned from grocery shopping, Akisui was still training Naruto and the others. So he gave her a key to the house so that he wouldn't have to knock on the door to ask Kurenai to come over when he got back.

"Qiushui, could you make something light today?" Hearing the door open, Yuhi Hong placed her notebook on the coffee table and asked in a consultative tone.

Although she added an hour of physical training every day, she always felt that she had eaten too much after meals because Qiu Shui's cooking was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat more. The hour of exercise did not burn off much calories. Last night, she tested herself and found that she had gained a full ten pounds compared to last month.
