Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Second System

Leaving the Hokage Building, Mitsusuke let out a long sigh of relief. This time, he almost messed up.

"Ding! Conditions met. The Teaching and Educating System is activating... 1... 20... 50... 80... 100."

"Activation successful. The Teaching and Educating System is now open. Mission 1: Teach all students to master the Substitution Jutsu. Reward: Chakra +7. Mission duration: one month."

Seeing the panel before him, Mitsusuke was a bit dazed. He then brought up the template for the slacking system and, seeing that it was still there, finally relaxed.

The Kizaru template was too good. He didn't want to lose it because of some Teaching and Educating System. He hadn't even said "Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" to an enemy yet.

"System Miss, did you make a mistake? I already have a system, I don't need you at all. Go find another Host. No need to see you out."

With the slacking system, who would bother teaching students? Isn't it better to just lie flat?

"Host, this system has not made a mistake. I am here to assist you. Your previous slacking system was also me; I just provided you with a weapon. I am the energy source for this weapon."

"What weapon? What energy source? Explain it again in terms I can understand."

"Host, due to permission and activation mechanisms, I am the main system, and the slacking system is a sub-system. The slacking system provides you with the Kizaru template, and I provide the energy, which is Chakra. Without enough Chakra, you cannot easily use the Glint-Glint Fruit."

"To put it simply, in the Pirate World, controlling Devil Fruits requires stamina. In the Ninja World, controlling Devil Fruits requires Chakra."

"This is also for the Host's sake. Because the world rules are different, the physique of the Ninja World simply cannot reach the strength of the Pirate World. For example, Akainu's 'Great Eruption'—those magma fists weigh several tons, and people in the Ninja World simply cannot lift them."

"Completing the tasks of this system will grant you a Chakra capacity far exceeding others, allowing you to better use your Glint-Glint Fruit abilities."

After the system's explanation, Mitsusuke understood its meaning, but he still felt a sense of disconnect.

On one hand, it told him to slack off; on the other, it told him to teach and educate. This system was somewhat abnormal.

However, since it could make him stronger, Mitsusuke didn't bother to argue. At worst, he would slack off while teaching students.

On his way back to the Sarutobi Clan Compound, Mitsusuke saw Asuma dating Kurenai Yuhi. He felt a bit sorry for Kurenai Yuhi! Such a beautiful woman, yet she fell for a bearded man.

Some people would even believe Asuma was Kurenai Yuhi's father. He wondered what kind of love potion Asuma had given Kurenai Yuhi.

Along the way, Mitsusuke received many glares, all from the Sarutobi Clan's disdain for him. The title "disgrace of the sarutobi clan" also came from the mouths of the Sarutobi Clan.

Otherwise, outsiders wouldn't dare to give him a nickname, after all, the current Hokage also shares the Sarutobi surname.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had done many foolish things, Mitsusuke was a beneficiary of Hiruzen Sarutobi's abuse of power, so he couldn't criticize him.

Without the Sarutobi Clan, he wouldn't have lived so comfortably these past few years. When Orochimaru attacks again, he still plans to save that old man, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Mitsusuke was a conscientious person. He couldn't enjoy the benefits of the Sarutobi Clan while condemning the family; that would be too ungrateful.

About dozens of meters from his house, Mitsusuke saw a familiar figure: Uchiha Shisui.

According to the original story, Uchiha Shisui would have already been secretly killed by Danzo.

But Mitsusuke had become friends with Shisui a long time ago. To prevent Shisui from following his original path, he would often tell him that the Village's prejudice against the Uchiha was too deep. He suggested going to school to teach, to let the children understand the Uchiha first, so that the next generation wouldn't harbor hatred towards them.

One could only say that Shisui was too naive. After several brainwashes from Mitsusuke, he directly chose to teach at the school.

Mitsusuke did this because he felt Shisui was too kind. He didn't want him to deal with people like Danzo; Shisui wouldn't be able to outplay them.

Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed with Shisui's idea, but if he didn't agree, Shisui would retire and stop being a Ninja. This was also Mitsusuke's suggestion.

And so, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally agreed for Shisui to become a teacher, but Shisui's class consisted only of civilian students; the clan students were still handled by those aligned with the Hokage.

Approaching Shisui, Mitsusuke asked, "Shisui, why are you here? Didn't you go to spar with Uchiha Itachi?"

"Kai, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's talk inside! I have something to tell you."

Seeing Shisui's troubled expression, Mitsusuke didn't press further and directly led Shisui into the courtyard; this wasn't the place to talk.

Suddenly, Mitsusuke stopped and turned to look at a large tree not far away.

Shisui saw Mitsusuke's action and also looked in that direction, but saw nothing. He turned and asked, "Kai, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just saw a mouse." Saying that, Mitsusuke picked up three small stones from the ground. With a flick of his hand, the stones shot towards the distant tree with a whistling sound.

A few seconds later, a dark figure jumped down from the tree, still holding the three stones.

"This time it's stones; next time it'll be shurikens. Go back and tell Danzo that Shisui is my friend. If he dares to scheme against Shisui, I won't mind taking it up with Hokage-sama."

After speaking, Mitsusuke led Shisui into the house. He wasn't afraid of Danzo at all; using Hiruzen Sarutobi as a shield was just to avoid revealing his true strength!

Otherwise, a few laser beams would directly cause Hiruzen Sarutobi to lose his good friend.

Once inside, Mitsusuke poured Shisui a cup of tea: "Tell me! Did the girl you like find someone else?"

Faced with Mitsusuke's teasing, Shisui gave a wry smile: "Kai, stop teasing me. I came to you for something serious."

Not continuing to tease Shisui, Mitsusuke sat opposite him and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Go on! What is it?"

"Sigh!" Shisui sighed, "The clan elders came to me again. They want me to join the Anbu as an undercover agent. If I don't agree, they'll kick me out of the Uchiha Clan Compound. I had no choice but to come and ask for your opinion. I feel you're much smarter than I am."

After listening, Mitsusuke also felt speechless. The Uchiha really didn't treat their clan's genius as a person!

Once he entered the Anbu, Shisui would only follow the original path and be played to death by those old schemers.

Now Mitsusuke felt a bit troubled. As the disgrace of the sarutobi clan, his words didn't carry much weight, and he couldn't change the Village's attitude towards the Uchiha.
