Just after walking out of the classroom, Hagoromo held back the joy in his heart.
According to the information given by the system, all ninjutsu can be divided into beginner, skilled, proficient, and extraordinary.
And getting an A evaluation after one class usually only gives a ninjutsu at the skilled threshold.
Chakra perception is not considered unique in the ninja world, but what he got was the finger to ground sensing ability unique to the Second Hokage.
Using this technique can sense the number of enemies within a large range, as well as the target's chakra amount.
A lot of memories appeared in his mind, all about chakra perception.
In an instant, even without using the complete technique, Hagoromo could clearly sense the number of people and their chakra amounts throughout the entire ninja school.
"If it were not because the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara were too abnormal, just the strength shown by the Second Hokage alone would definitely have dominated the ninja world in that era."
Hagoromo could not help smacking his tongue. Just a skilled level ninjutsu is already this outrageous.
Sensing a familiar chakra gradually approaching, Hagoromo stopped continuing to study the reward he had obtained.
"Hagoromo, how was the class?" Iruka walked over from behind and greeted him warmly.
"It was alright, not like it was my first time teaching."
Hearing Iruka, Hagoromo turned his head and replied with a smile.
"That's good. I was worried your first time leading a class might feel overwhelming."
Iruka nodded, stepped forward, put an arm around Hagoromo's shoulder, and walked toward the office.
Hagoromo followed along while recalling the situation he had sensed just now.
In that perception, the chakra from Naruto's sealing technique was like a super large light bulb.
Comparing his current chakra amount with Naruto's, Hagoromo instantly felt a bit inferior.
"Looks like I need to study this properly later, try to see if I can take a disciple and improve my strength quickly." Hagoromo set a short term goal for himself.
When Hagoromo and Iruka walked into the office, they found several teaching teachers already inside, each chatting about this year's students.
Seeing the two enter, they quickly greeted them.
Most of it was congratulating Hagoromo for finally being able to lead a class himself this year.
"Hagoromo, no matter what, you have to treat us tonight. Not even two years here and you can already lead a class alone."
A man about a round older than Hagoromo and Iruka said this with a smile.
Hagoromo nodded and said, "No problem, Teacher Miyamoto. Even if you did not say it, I would invite everyone later anyway."
"Since everyone is here, you must give this young guy some face tonight, let's go to the izakaya."
Hearing this, Miyamoto laughed even happier and agreed again and again.
Kamimura , sitting beside Miyamoto, teased with a playful look, "Miyamoto, did your wife take your private money? Just after school started and you are already asking Hagoromo to treat."
As soon as this was said, Miyamoto's face turned red. He waved his hands, telling Kamimura not to talk nonsense.
Seeing him like this, the teachers in the office all laughed out loud. After all, Miyamoto just got married, and not long ago he invited them to the wedding.
They just did not expect that the usually macho Miyamoto would be completely controlled after marriage.

Inside the Hokage office, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi rested his chin on his hands, watching through the crystal ball as Hagoromo stood on the podium answering Naruto's question about how to become Hokage.
Only after Hagoromo finished answering did the Third pick up his pipe, light it, and slowly smile while blowing smoke.
Hagoromo also has Hokage style thinking.
Honestly, when Naruto enrolled in the ninja school this year, the Third actually had two candidates for homeroom teacher, one was Iruka, the other was Hagoromo.
Not because their teaching was excellent, but because they were young.
They did not have the hostility toward the Nine Tails that older teachers had.
But after talking with Iruka, Iruka clearly gave up the opportunity the Third offered.
For no other reason than his parents died the night of the Nine Tails incident.
Although the blame cannot fall on a child, Iruka clearly said that even if he tried to convince himself not to care, he still could not let it go.
He also suggested to the Third that Hagoromo take the role instead, since they were about the same age, and Hagoromo's teaching performance was definitely good compared to his own.
After that, the Third gave up on Iruka and started evaluating Hagoromo.
This evaluation lasted half a year, and the Hokage's ANBU followed him for several months.
Fortunately, everything stayed under control. Today's class made the Third even more certain his choice was correct.
'Later on, maybe he can be specially trained.'
Thinking this, the Third ended the Telescope Technique, looked at the documents on his desk, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and began handling them.

In the afternoon, after students gradually went home, Hagoromo finished checking the classroom and left the teaching building with Iruka.
Since he was treating later, Hagoromo did not plan to go home and thought he would go directly to the izakaya to wait for colleagues.
As for Iruka, like him he was alone, so naturally there was no reason to go back first.
Arriving at the playground, Iruka, who had been talking nonstop, suddenly went quiet, his eyes looking at the swing not far away.
Hagoromo followed his gaze. A yellow haired figure wearing a white T shirt sat on the swing with head lowered.
"Iruka, go wait for me at the school gate first, that seems to be a student from my class."
After saying this to Iruka, Hagoromo walked over directly. Only after a while did Iruka reply from behind.
"Okay."
The one sitting on the swing was naturally Naruto, who had just started school today.
Hagoromo quickly came in front of Naruto. Naruto, who had been lowering his head, felt the light dim and looked up.
The slightly glaring sunset made Naruto squint, unable to see clearly who it was for a moment.
With a defiant tone he shouted loudly, "Bastard! What, want to fight me again?"
Hagoromo had been wondering why Naruto's clothes, which were clean in class this morning, were now dusty and even torn.
Hearing this, he understood. He had fought with someone.
But judging by Naruto's situation, it was more likely he got beaten.
"Naruto, are you hurt?"
Hagoromo crouched down, a warm smile on his face, asking gently.
Naruto, who had looked stubborn, opened his eyes clearly after hearing the voice and recognized who it was. A strange feeling lingered in his chest.
Then tears slowly slid from the corners of his eyes. Pouting, he looked at Hagoromo with grievance.
"Ahhhh… teacher!"
Iruka, who had just reached the school gate, heard the crying. His pupils shook, and his expression became unclear.
Hagoromo looked at Naruto crying uncontrollably in front of him and did not move for a long time.
Only after Naruto stopped crying did Hagoromo crouch down, looking straight into Naruto's red teary eyes.
