Names leapt out at him, all too familiar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba... and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five years... I’ve waited five whole years for these main characters to show up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa let out a silent sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point on, only two massive crises loomed over his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Orochimaru’s Konoha Crush. The other was Pain’s invasion with the Akatsuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wouldn’t really involve the Ninja Academy, so he wasn’t too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second, though—that was a nightmare. That one incident would end up leveling almost all of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s plan was simple: get out of the village before that happened. He could roughly estimate when it would all go down based on Naruto’s and the others’ enrollment timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was mentally calculating dates, a crisp \"ding\" suddenly echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Host has reached age six and successfully enrolled in the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating the Strongest Shinobi System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d waited twenty-one years, thinking he’d never get a system. And now, just when he’d resigned himself to an ordinary life, the door finally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the hell is my system showing up so late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something didn’t add up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m six years old?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, are you malfunctioning or something?\" Kitazawa blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Host, please complete the first stage of the main quest: Dominate the Ninja Academy and become the strongest graduate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way. Was this system brain-dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he was happy the system finally arrived—but it had the timeline all wrong, and he was definitely not happy about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell was he supposed to graduate now? Seriously, answer me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa suddenly understood:this damn system was fifteen years too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he been waiting for nothing all this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To dominate the Ninja Academy, you must first win over your classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current mission: Gain the initial trust of Uzumaki Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission reward: Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Accept]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa stared blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t Naruto’s classmate. How was he supposed to complete a mission like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he tried enrolling in the academy again, the Third Hokage would probably look at him and say,\"You need to consult a doctor—or maybe a medical ninja—to check if your brain’s been devoured by Orohimaru’s snakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell programmed this system?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his temples, Kitazawa felt a splitting headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no helping it. He’d just have to do the best he could with this mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t complete the mission, well... there wasn’t much he could do anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from ranting, he could only rant—and maybe throw in a few choice curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if, by some miracle, he actuallycouldcomplete this absurd mission?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, there didn’t seem to be any penalty for failing or declining the quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person can’t be unlucky forever... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa chose to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting down the student files, he left his office and headed for the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he arrived than he heard the usual harsh whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t go near him. That guy’s a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You absolutely mustn’t play with him—stay far away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll never understand why Hokage-sama lets him attend the academy at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s eyes fell on a small boy with spiky blond hair, sitting alone on a swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto sat with his head bowed, silent, separated from the joyful chaos around him by an invisible, pitiful wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You people are incredible,’Kitazawa thought darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Daring to badmouth a kid who’s basically a living nuclear bomb. Aren’t you afraid of getting turned into barbecue?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the wary glances from bystanders, Kitazawa stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto heard footsteps and instinctively looked up. He found himself staring into a pair of black eyes and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hostility in the man’s expression—only quiet gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\" Kitazawa asked softly, suppressing a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning Naruto’s initial trust should be easy enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in this world, there were only two people who truly accepted Naruto so far: Hiruzen Sarutobi and Teuchi, the ramen shop owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... my name is Uzumaki Naruto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto felt a gentle warmth spread through his chest, lifting his spirits. He looked up eagerly and asked, \"And you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa,\" the man replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi, Kitazawa-niisan!\" Naruto exclaimed, bouncing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t call me niisan.\" Kitazawa’s lips twitched. \"You should call meSensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sensei?\" Naruto’s eyes sparkled. \"Are you the teacher for Class 1-A?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\" Kitazawa nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s awesome!\" Naruto grinned. \"I’m in Class 1-A too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take you to get registered.\" Kitazawa reached out and gave Naruto’s shoulder a reassuring pat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!\" Naruto practically leapt off the swing, but after only a couple of steps, he froze, his head dropping low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the disgusted stares from the people around them—and this time, even Kitazawa seemed to draw some of their hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei... It’s okay. I can go register myself. You don’t have to trouble yourself over me.\" Naruto’s voice was small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you let yourself care too much about what other people think,\" Kitazawa said calmly, without looking back, \"you’ll end up a prisoner to their opinions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto blinked at his retreating back, half understanding, half bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on.\" Kitazawa raised a hand, beckoning him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of his daze, Naruto hurried to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class 1-A\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Naruto stepped into the classroom, silence fell like a heavy curtain. Every eye turned toward him—including that of the teacher handling the registrations, Iruka Umino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto instinctively wanted to lower his head and shrink away, but Kitazawa’s earlier words echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squaring his shoulders, he faced the stares directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iruka.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa spoke with his usual gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-senpai.\" Iruka tried to keep his voice steady, though tension flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Iruka’s parents had died during the Nine-Tails’ attack. Because of that, Iruka initially harbored resentment toward Naruto, whom many still viewed as the fox demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Uzumaki Naruto, a new student in Class 1-A,\" Kitazawa said in an even tone. \"Please handle his registration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka silently pulled out the class roster and wrote Naruto’s name. Then he handed him a stack of textbooks and his first-semester schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the paperwork was done, Kitazawa and Naruto left the classroom and made their way to the academy gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow’s the first day of class,\" Kitazawa reminded him. \"Don’t be late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t!\" Naruto beamed and said with heartfelt sincerity, \"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you tomorrow,\" Kitazawa said, giving him a casual wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto was the Nine-Tails’ Jinchūriki and constantly under the watchful eyes of the Third Hokage and the Anbu. Kitazawa had to be careful not to appear overly invested in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing he was just an academy teacher and not a member of the Uchiha clan—otherwise, he’d probably find eight kunai in his back the next morning and wind up dead from \"suicide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei, bye-bye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto turned and bounded away, a cheerful spring in his step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host has completed the mission. Reward granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a flood of knowledge poured into Kitazawa’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he’d mastered the Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu—from the basics all the way to expert-level proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s expression shifted dramatically, trying to hold back an excited grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This system really was... surprisingly competent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although people often joked that the Great Fireball Jutsu had never actually killed anyone, for an ordinary Chunin like Kitazawa, it was a deadly weapon worth having.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not bad... not bad at all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s got you smiling like that? Something good happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teasing voice broke through his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa turned his head instinctively—and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away stood a beautiful woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders. She was smiling, and under the sunlight, her eyes sparkled like rubies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep the Chapters coming - Support with POWER STONES.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Every 100 power stones - 1 BONUS Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>",1441,"2026-06-09T05:35:55.746Z","novelbin.me","90a001bbd5625d0de5cb673b60a23828329e1113db3a3a21deedd56aa2df87e5","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-2",null,444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
