I like it. Suwanpugōto feels very Lovecraftian horror. From the backstory I guess he's part of the class Hikari would be in if she didn't graduate early, so they probably have talked at one point or another.

Also, is he supposed to be a jonin teacher? I guess this opens up a spot for [@Vertigo] (?)

I'm just of the school of thought that though Kakashi is a good person, he's a really not a very good teacher unless he's forced to be. He's an unideal instructor to use as an example for the masses, evidenced in no small part by the fact that all three of his students ended up having to abandon him as a teacher to actually get anywhere notable.

Funnily enough, out of Asuma, Kurenai, and Kakashi...Kakashi is probably the best teacher out of them? He got sasuke to be on Lee's level of speed in a month, while teaching him chidori on top of it. Sakura was also implied to have been trained on genjutsu by Kakashi to the point she dispelled a genjutsu that had many veteran ninja falling asleep to during the Suna invasion. And Naruto...well Jiraiya got Naruto to do a bigger rasengan in 3 years, Kakashi had a few days (weeks?) and had Naruto making rasenshuriken, something Minato couldn't do.

Meanwhile, I haven't seen any of Kurenai's team displaying anything that seems like was learned from her. I get they're not genjutsu users but come on, would be cool if they'd have a scene of them dispelling genjutsu and going, 'Pfft...it's nothing compared to Kurenai's'. While Asuma, uh...why none of team 10 had a knife with chakra conducting metal like Asuma is kinda weird. Considering after he died, Shikamaru used the knife and do stuff like pinning people by stabbing their shadow with the knife while having his chakra on it.

I rather like some of the fanon interpretation that the Jonin teacher is less a technical teacher but more mentor for shinobi life. So more taking them on mission, imparting the 'will of fire' and all that, with some extra training on the side. But yeah, the bell test is definitely more ideological. IIRC it's supposed to be passed down from Tobirama to Hiruzen to Jiraiya to Minato to Kakashi.
