"Senior Minato is just a bit like Teacher Mokgetsu, and they have a good relationship, but they're not related."
Kakashi felt that if someone saw the two for the first time, it would be really easy to get the wrong impression.
Shisui's expression was a bit surprised, but he quickly adjusted to normal.
"Is that kid also your student?" Minato noticed Shisui's gaze and asked curiously.
"Yeah." Mokgetsu nodded in acknowledgment and was already prepared for this when he brought Shisui over.
"Mokgetsu, you're really diligent. Including this one, you have five students now." Minato praised, feeling that Mokgetsu was truly a model teacher in the Ninja World.
Being a Guiding Jonin and earning some commission fees was purely for nurturing talent in Konoha for Mokgetsu.
"Five students is manageable. During special training, I once taught over 300 students at once." Mokgetsu said with a cheerful smile.
Minato's expression was a bit surprised, that was indeed a lot, even when Konoha and Hidden Rock were at war, they only dispatched a little over a thousand ninjas.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, we're here."
Obito's voice came from outside the door.
"Come on in." Mokgetsu replied, slightly raising his voice.
Then Obito, Nohara Rin, and Might Guy entered Mokgetsu's home.
"Senior Minato." Upon seeing Minato, Obito greeted him and introduced Minato to Nohara Rin.
"Don't be fooled by Senior Minato and Teacher Mokgetsu's resemblance, they're not brothers, but it can't be ruled out they were twins separated at birth."
Nohara Rin curiously looked at Minato, feeling he indeed resembled Mokgetsu.
Pa!
A burst of transparent energy precisely hit Obito's head, making a crisp sound.
"Minato, sorry about that, Obito doesn't think like normal people, please bear with him." Mokgetsu apologized to Minato.
"It's okay, I don't mind." Minato smiled and shook his head, looking at Obito and Nohara Rin with curiosity and goodwill, as these two would also be his students in the future.
Then Mokgetsu was continuously cooking in the kitchen, with Minato helping on the side.
Although Minato wanted to stay for dinner to get to know his future three students earlier, Kushina was waiting for him to have dinner together, so he had to bid farewell to Mokgetsu as soon as the dishes were ready.
Since there were quite a few students, plus portions for Kushina and Minato, Mokgetsu prepared an incredibly sumptuous feast, including various dishes from his previous life and native dishes from the world of Hokage.
"This is too awesome, having so many dishes at once." Smelling the various aromas on the table, Obito couldn't help but salivate.
"Hurry up and eat, some dishes don't taste as good when they're cold." Mokgetsu also sat down at the table with a smile and reminded while picking up a green vegetable to eat.
Mokgetsu's actions seemed to signal a charge, and the five students began to eat rapidly.
During the intense eating, to more swiftly grab their favorite foods, Obito activated his Sharingan, Kakashi used Chakra to strengthen his body, and even the chopsticks seemed to leave afterimages.
After eating, the students helped clean up. While they couldn't cook, washing dishes and wiping tables was doable as long as they had hands.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, you can take a look at the gifts to see if they are to your liking." After finishing the chores, Obito suggested.
The other students also looked at Mokgetsu. The gift they made with their combined efforts has already been approved, and if individual gifts could make Mokgetsu happy, it would be even better.
Mokgetsu smiled and nodded, taking out the gifts from the scroll.
He first opened Shisui's gift because it was the longest and most conspicuous.
Mokgetsu opened the exquisite gift box, and inside was a long sword about one meter in length. He took out the sword and examined it carefully.
"Wow, what a cool sword." Obito praised as soon as he saw it, thinking that the flame pattern on the scabbard was just too cool.
"Indeed it's quite beautiful." Mokgetsu nodded in agreement and then unsheathed the sword, infusing it with Fire Attribute Chakra.
Raging flames ignited on the blade, leaving streaks of flame in the air as Mokgetsu swung it.
Seeing this effect, Mokgetsu knew the sword cost quite a bit, likely due to some precious materials.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, I want to learn this." Obito's eyes lit up, as if he could already see himself using the flame blade to defeat one strong enemy after another in a dashing manner.
"This is simple. You just need to keep diligently learning the Breath of Flame, and you can achieve it." Mokgetsu said with a laugh, sheathing the sword.
The localized Breathing Technique doesn't require using a sword, but you can if you want.
"Of course, once you've learned it, don't use it at home like I do, or it might burn down your house." Mokgetsu reminded him.
"Shisui, I can see you put a lot of thought into this. I'm very happy to receive such a wonderful gift." Mokgetsu gave a heartfelt smile.
For Shisui, an orphan, to give such a valuable gift, Mokgetsu almost wanted to hand over 500,000 ryo to Shisui if he didn't already know Shisui wouldn't accept it.
Shisui's lips curved into a smile, saying, "As long as you're happy, Teacher Mokgetsu."
Then Mokgetsu opened Obito's gift to discover it was an inkstone carved with a dragon, though the dragon looked less imposing, with many minor details lacking.
"Time was too short. I'll give Teacher Mokgetsu a better-looking one when my skills improve." Obito scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"I'm very satisfied with this one." Mokgetsu smiled, patting Obito's head.
In truth, he didn't care much for the gift itself, but the thoughtfulness his students put into it moved him.
