His quiet, composed presence was intimidating in its own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent was a fairly average boy, usually decent in class exercises. But the moment he faced Shino, his fate was already sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the boy could even complete his first hand sign, a swarm of Kikaichū erupted from Shino’s collar and hair, black specks moving like a living cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy froze, eyes wide, then instinctively abandoned his jutsu and bolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first second, he was on the defensive. He dodged left and right, lasting barely ten seconds before the first wave of bugs landed on his shoulders and arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I–I surrender!\" The boy yelped, trembling as he felt the insects crawling across his skin. He didn’t dare move, afraid they’d burrow inside at the slightest provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan techniques really are an unfair advantage,\" Iruka muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not all clans can dominate this easily,\" Kitazawa countered, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was right. Not every clan was created equal. Even the Uchiha had weaknesses. But the Aburame were remarkably well-rounded—well-raised Kikaichū alone could carry a shinobi to Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if a member ever developed a rare mutation or discovered unique insects, their power could skyrocket—like Torune Aburame with his deadly nano-poison beetles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shame he had fallen into Danzo’s hands and become another silent weapon of Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a common tragedy in the shinobi world: a clan’s bright talent, stripped of identity and turned into a tool for the shadows. And against Danzo, no clan dared openly complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number five, step forward,\" Kitazawa called next, his gaze sweeping the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke stepped out, calm and confident as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun! You’ve got this!\" Sakura cheered, fists pumping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s the other number five?\" Ino asked, scanning the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever it is... unlucky,\" Choji said with sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That unlucky guy... is me,\" Shikamaru muttered, shoulders slumping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba threw an arm around him. \"Just surrender. Less pain that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tempting,’Shikamaru thought. The old him would’ve taken that advice in a heartbeat. But a forfeit meant zero points—and without practical points, he’d never make the top ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go for it, Shikamaru!\" Ino cheered. \"It’s fine if you lose!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t run from the flames of youth!\" Naruto added with a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Great. I’m surrounded by lunatics,’Shikamaru sighed, shuffling into position opposite Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They formed the Seal of Confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin!\" Kitazawa announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Shikamaru’s gaze dropped to the ground. With the sun high, their shadows were crisp and perfect for his clan’s technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn’t hesitate—six shuriken flew through the air, swift and deadly, covering every vital angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, wasting chakra on Fire Style wasn’t worth it for Shikamaru. He needed to conserve his energy for threats like Naruto or Hinata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironically, the deadly barrage made Shikamaru... relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whipped out a kunai, deflecting three of the shuriken in a precise pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steel rang out as two of the deflected weapons embedded in the ground at planned angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled across the dirt to evade the last three by a hair’s breadth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s faster than before. What kind of training did Kitazawa-sensei put them through?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it would matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smirk tugged at Sasuke’s lips as he flexed his fingers. Thin, nearly invisible wires tightened, and the fallen shuriken began to dance under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hn?\" Sasuke blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he lifted his hand, Shikamaru stepped on a shuriken, and his hands blurred through a unfamiliar sequence of signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shadow Imitation jutsu!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black tendril of shadow snaked along the metal and the wire, racing straight to Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch—!\" Sasuke immediately released that shuriken, but five others were already airborne, arcing toward Shikamaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms jerked violently against his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shuriken, mid-flight, froze—and spun back toward their original owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the—?!\" Naruto’s jaw dropped. \"Why is Sasuke attacking himself?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the Shadow Imitation Jutsu,\" Ino said with a gleeful grin. \"Shikamaru’s controlling his body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji’s eyes went wide. \"Shikamaru actually learned it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew Shikamaru was lazy to the core. For him to master a clan jutsu at six years old... that was less a testament to his effort and more to Kitazawa’s terrifying influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka was floored. \"He... he wasn’t kidding about training them hard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa, watching silently, already had his muscles tensed to intervene if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, Shadow Imitation was a death sentence once it landed. In reality, there were loopholes—especially with a child’s still-developing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s teeth grit as the shuriken hovered near his own chest. Rage and pride surged. ’I will not lose—not like this!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra flooded his legs, raw emotion igniting his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s face twisted in effort, veins standing out on his temples. ’Just... half a second more... and I win...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke roared, body trembling with adrenaline and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, his eyes seemed to flicker—bloodshot, a faint trace of crimson. Yin chakra stirred violently in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst free of the shadow’s grip, rolling hard to the side as his own shuriken whizzed past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s eyes narrowed. He felt the spike of Yin Release clearly. ’No tomoe yet... but the foundation for the Sharingan is there.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen noticed it as well, his hand pausing mid-stroke on his beard. ’He’s close... emotional stimulation is all he needs. If he awakens the Sharingan at six...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, Shikamaru froze in disbelief. \"Seriously...? He broke it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality hit fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I surrender!\" he said immediately, raising his hand without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s decision to surrender wasn’t born of fear—it was logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, theShadow Imitationdevoured chakra, and pulling it off again in his current state would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Sasuke would undoubtedly go all-out now that he’d tasted humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, the same trick wouldn’t work twice. If Sasuke avoided using the shuriken, his shadows would have no convenient conduits to travel along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And lastly, Shikamaru had already shown his hand. His strength was clear; his score would be more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, his earlier success had carried a heavy dose of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Sasuke snapped, fingers already forming seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d nearly lost—humiliated by Shikamaru of all people. His pride demanded a counterattack. If Shikamaru surrendered now, where was he supposed to vent his frustration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke,\" Kitazawa’s calm voice cut through the tension. \"This is a training match. Surrender is allowed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding his teeth, Sasuke froze mid-sign, rage simmering under his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner: Uchiha Sasuke,\" Kitazawa announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sasuke felt no satisfaction. He stalked off the field in sullen silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shikamaru returned to the group to a chorus of awed whispers. None of his classmates had expectedhimto give Sasuke that much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-senpai, how do we score that?\" Iruka asked after a long moment, still stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninety-five each,\" Kitazawa said casually. \"It’s only the first round—don’t overthink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka nodded, trusting his judgment, and jotted down the same score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number six, step forward!\" Kitazawa called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata and a young boy took the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy reacted first, forming seals. \"Clone Technique!\" Two illusory copies appeared beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata’s pearly eyes glimmered. \"Byakugan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She calmly stepped forward, saw the real body through the deception, and ended the fight with a single, precise Gentle Fist strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner: Hyuga Hinata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata’s heart skipped a beat at his acknowledgment, and she left the field with a small, shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Clone Technique isn’t bad,\" Iruka noted. \"With a little practice, he’ll hit graduation level. Shame he ran into Hinata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He awarded Hinata ninety points and the boy eighty. Kitazawa’s score was about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Sakura, Choji, and Ino all took the stage. Luck was on their side—they avoided each other and advanced with straightforward wins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first round is complete!\" Kitazawa announced. \"Fifteen-minute break! Anyone who scoredeighty or highermoves on to the second round!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the class buzzed, Iruka began reading out the qualifiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the edge of the field, Sakura hesitated, watching Sasuke’s cold, rigid posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun... are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" Sasuke said flatly, though his aura was ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s surprise performance had rattled him. He’d only won because of carelessness—and that sting burned worse than any wound. Next time, he’d crush Shikamaru utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the fight had taught him something important:never underestimate anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The biggest surprise of round one has to be Shikamaru,\" Iruka said, scanning the score sheet. \"His progress is incredible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the result of his effort,\" Kitazawa replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka shook his head in admiration. \"I tried everything to change his lazy attitude. Nothing worked. Kitazawa-senpai... you really transformed him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Hiruzen strolled over, beard-stroking and smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I didn’t misjudge you when I recommended you to Shikaku as Shikamaru’s personal tutor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka blinked. \"Hokage-sama’s recommendation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pang of envy hit him. For Hiruzen to personally back Kitazawa meant the young instructor had already carved a deep impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa paused for a beat. ’So it was Hokage-sama who set that up...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen waved a hand. \"The credit is yours. I only opened the door—you walked through it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The break flew by, and the second round began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m number one again!\" Naruto whooped, waving his slip like a trophy. ’Twice in a row—this is fate!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it me this time?\" Choji smiled sheepishly. \"Naruto... please go easy on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem!\" Naruto thumped his chest. \"We’ll just touch fists of youth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match began in a flurry of kicks. Choji, still untrained in his clan’s techniques, relied solely on basic Konoha-ryu taijutsu. Against Naruto’s barrage of Leaf Whirlwind, Great Whirlwind, and Strong Whirlwind, he surrendered quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner: Uzumaki Naruto!\" Kitazawa called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number two, step forward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s cold expression darkened the moment he stepped onto the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over...\" Kiba groaned. \"Is anyone unluckier than me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AN: Check out my P@treon For +40 extra Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank You For your Support!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002Fnoviceauthor777\u003C\u002Fp>",1668,"2026-06-09T05:35:56.024Z",1,"novelbin.me","90b3a60186aa1e7a254e04d68c746b9c7e6dda18b717dff7e3b630de1e510f08","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-111","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-109",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
