A System Order – A Major Opportunity
The moment Satoru sat down at home, hoping to enjoy a peaceful evening, the system's voice suddenly echoed.
[Notification: Critical Mission Activated!]
He froze, eyebrows furrowing.
"…What now?"
A new interface appeared before him.
Main Quest: Recruit Disciples
📌 Requirements:
Select three students as official disciples. Disciples must agree to be trained. The higher their potential, the greater the rewards. Training disciples will directly benefit the host's own growth.
📌 Growth System:
Training in Ninjutsu will enhance the disciple's chakra control while improving the host's own chakra reserves. Training in Taijutsu will increase the disciple's physical prowess while boosting the host's own physical strength. Training in Genjutsu will sharpen the disciple's mental acuity while strengthening the host's Genjutsu resistance. Teaching philosophy and ideals can change a disciple's fate, granting the host unique rewards.
📌 Rewards:
Unlock one advanced skill upon completion. Receive a special item from the system. Gain the Master's Skill – Achievement Synchronization (whenever a disciple grows stronger, the host will receive a portion of their growth).
📌 Note:
After selecting disciples, regular teaching rewards will be reduced.Choosing the Right Disciples
Satoru stared at the mission panel for a long time.
Choosing a disciple wasn't just about picking the strongest.
He had to choose those who aligned with his own strengths.
He wasn't an Uzumaki with massive chakra reserves.
He didn't have a Kekkei Genkai like the Uchiha or Hyuga.
No Dojutsu. No legendary bloodline. No summoning contract.
But—
He did have a One Piece-level physique.
Which meant…
Taijutsu was his best path forward.
If he were to teach anyone, it would be through raw physical strength.
With that in mind, he pulled up a list of the most promising students.
Candidate List
Hatake Kakashi – A prodigy bound by loss and duty.
Elite Ninjutsu user, potential Mangekyō Sharingan wielder. Struggles with trust and teamwork. Potential for Fate Alteration: Extreme.
Uchiha Obito – A lost soul destined to become a villain.
Possesses Sharingan, but his true potential lies in his heart.Easily swayed by emotions.Potential for Fate Alteration: Maximum.
Maito Gai – A boy overlooked by talent but defined by willpower.
No Kekkei Genkai. No strong Ninjutsu. But… a Taijutsu monster.The most compatible disciple for a One Piece physique. Potential for Fate Alteration: Extremely High.
Hyuga Hizashi – A genius shackled by the Hyuga Branch Family system.
Byakugan user, but restricted by the Caged Bird Seal.Could break free from clan oppression with the right guidance.Potential for Fate Alteration: Very High.
Kurenai Yuhi – A prodigy in Genjutsu, yet undervalued.
Innate Genjutsu mastery, but lacks proper mentorship.Potential for Fate Alteration: Moderate.Final Decision
Satoru took a deep breath.
If he wanted maximum impact, then Kakashi and Obito were obvious choices.
But…
He couldn't ignore Maito Gai.
No one was better suited for Taijutsu.
A boy who would one day unlock the Eight Gates and battle Uchiha Madara himself.
A warrior who didn't need chakra to stand at the top.
With the right training—
Gai would become his perfect disciple.
His final choices:
✔ Hatake Kakashi ✔ Uchiha Obito ✔ Maito Gai
Recruiting Disciples – An Unexpected ChallengeTarget #1: Kakashi
Satoru approached Kakashi after class, patting his shoulder with a friendly smile.
"Hey, kid. Want to be my official disciple?"
Kakashi didn't even hesitate.
"…No."
Satoru froze.
"…Excuse me?"
Kakashi simply turned away.
Satoru sighed, rubbing his temples before trying a different tactic.
"…If you become my student, you'll get three excused absences per month."
Kakashi went silent.
"…I'll think about it."
Progress!
Target #2: Obito
Satoru found Obito at the training grounds and grinned.
"Hey, kid. Want to be stronger than Kakashi?"
Obito sprang to his feet, eyes blazing.
"Yes!!!"
"Then become my disciple."
Obito puffed his chest.
"Deal!"
Satoru smirked. Too easy.
Target #3: Maito Gai
Gai was the toughest case.
Satoru found him training alone, drenched in sweat, his eyes burning with passion.
He sat beside him.
"…Do you want to be stronger?"
Gai looked up, his determination unwavering.
"Of course! But I'm not like Kakashi or Obito… I don't have their talent."
Satoru chuckled.
"No talent? Then let me show you a path that no one else can take."
Gai's fists trembled.
"…Yes! Please, teach me, Sensei Hoshino!"
Satoru nodded, satisfied.
Fate Activation – The Three Paths Diverge
The moment all three agreed, the system activated.
[Main Quest Activated: Disciples' Fates.]
✔ Hatake Kakashi – Learn to trust comrades and break free from the past. ✔ Uchiha Obito – Avoid the path of darkness and save himself from hatred. ✔ Maito Gai – Become a Taijutsu master and open a new path for the future.
Satoru clenched his fists, his eyes burning with resolve.
"Their futures…
will never be the same again."
