You can do it! Learn from Shikamaru!\" Naruto bellowed from the sidelines, pumping his fist in support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s head tilted just enough to glance at him, an icy flicker in his eyes. A soft, dismissivehnslipped past his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Like a true Uchiha would ever trip over the same rock twice.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miracles aren’t that easy to repeat,\" Ino said, shaking her head. \"If I know Sasuke, he’s going all-out from the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all my fault...\" Shikamaru gave Kiba’s shoulder a pat of sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba groaned. \"Remember this when you’re treating me to Ichiraku later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned to his fate, Kiba stepped into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he opened with his trump card—Four Legs Technique—dropping to all fours and letting chakra surge through his body. His speed spiked, a blur of motion closing in on Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn’t even move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly, forming hand seals in fluid succession, and exhaled a storm of small fireballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his precise control, the blazing motes scattered in every direction, a lethal rain of fire closing in from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Too many! I can’t dodge all of them!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single ember caught Kiba’s sleeve, and flames licked upward in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gah!\" He yelped, abandoning his technique, tearing off his jacket, and stomping it into the dirt in a frantic dance to put out the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke hadn’t even taken a step. He watched the whole display with a calm, predatory stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I surrender!\" Kiba blurted, heart still pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need Kitazawa to explain the obvious: if Sasuke had followed up with another Fire Release while he was panicking, he’d be in the hospital—or worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner, Sasuke,\" Kitazawa announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun!\" Sakura’s shriek rang across the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke had won cleanly, decisively, and yes—he looked annoyingly cool doing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man... Sasuke’s scary now,\" Shikamaru muttered, shrinking his neck into his collar. \"Good thing I didn’t run into him again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stronger he gets, the more fun it’ll be to fight him!\" Naruto said, his blood practically humming. \"I can’t wait for a youthful rematch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba trudged back to the line, scowling. \"You guys aren’t human. Why are there so many monsters in our class? Aren’t we supposed to be first-years? This is starting to feel like the Chunin Exams...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number three, step forward!\" Kitazawa called, cutting through the chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru raised a hand lazily. \"Yeah, yeah... that’s me. Who’s my opponent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I-I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was soft, hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru turned, and his soul left his body. \"Oh, perfect. It’s Hinata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hinata mightlooklike a delicate breeze could knock her over, but the moment she activated her Byakugan, she became a wall he couldn’t climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru grimaced. His previous miracle against Sasuke had worked only because he’d hidden his Shadow Imitation with shuriken and wires. Against Hinata?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byakugan saw everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he moved his shadow, she’d spot it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is unwinnable...\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the sidelines, Kiba folded his arms smugly. \"Looks like I’m not the only unlucky one now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinataaa! Don’t hold back, blast him into next week!\" Ino cheered with suspicious enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata froze, cheeks pink, but eventually trotted nervously into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, glanced at Kitazawa for reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on,\" Kitazawa said, smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata nodded, taking a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s, uh... keep it light, okay?\" Shikamaru said as he joined her in the arena, his voice flat with impending doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Byakugan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata’s pale eyes sharpened as she settled into her Gentle Fist stance. The timid girl was gone; in her place stood a focused Hyuga heir ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great. She looks like she’s about to murder me. All this... just for summer vacation points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s expression hardened as the match began. Without hesitation, he flicked two kunai toward Hinata and retreated, hands flashing through seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Imitation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata didn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she sprinted straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai were inches from her when she swung her arms in a smooth arc. Two sharp palms struck—clang!—and the kunai spun harmlessly into the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already on top of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Imitation Jutsu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s jutsu flared to life—only for Hinata’s two fingers to jab his wrist with surgical precision. Chakra flow sealed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shadow recoiled like a struck snake, snapping back into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could recover, her hand spread wide—Gentle Fist palm strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow landed clean. Shikamaru’s feet left the ground, and he tumbled back, landing in a puff of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata froze, blinking at her own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...That’s it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected Shikamaru to go down so quickly—or her own strike to hit with that much force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she didn’t realize her improvement was the product of Kitazawa’s maxed-out Gentle Fist training combined with her father Hiashi’s guidance. Her growth had already surpassed Shikamaru’s shadow exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata... you’re seriously amazing,\" Shikamaru muttered as he sat up, brushing dirt from his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata feels way stronger than during our last friendly match,\" Ino said, eyes wide with envy. \"Is this the true power of the Hyuga Byakugan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between secret-technique clans and bloodline-limit clans was on full display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone’s leveling up...\" Choji scratched his head. \"Is Kitazawa-sensei’s training reallythateffective?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Super effective!\" Ino answered immediately, sparkling like a fangirl. \"He even gives tips on clan techniques!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru sighed. \"Yeah, it works... but it’s brutal. Shadow carving, live combat drills—it’s all torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata nodded... then shook her head. She agreed with the first part, not the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think it’s hard at all,\" she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You thinkthatisn’t hard?\" Naruto scratched his head. \"You guys should try Might Gai’s training sometime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji blinked. \"What kind of training...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Super simple!\" Naruto grinned. \"Wake up at five, run thirty laps around Konoha, then pull-ups, frog jumps, handstand runs—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji broke out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure this is for humans?\" Ino gawked. \"I wouldn’t last till lunch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura’s opinion of Naruto shifted on the spot. She’d always thought he was noisy and immature compared to cool, calm Sasuke—but this? This was insane dedication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sasuke’s hand twitched. ’Tch... he really completes that training every day?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trained alongside Naruto under Gai as well—but he rarely managed more than half the workload. That unyielding stamina was exactly why Naruto had become his true rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he had nearly been outsmarted byShikamaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number four, step forward!\" Kitazawa called, snapping everyone back to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, my turn!\" Sakura bounded to her feet and instinctively glanced toward Sasuke, her face alight with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reaction. He was lost in thought, calculating how to handle Hinata if they met—losing to Neji had been bad enough. Losing to Hinata would be humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go get ’em, Sakura!\" Ino, Shikamaru, and the others cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... who’s my opponent?\" Sakura asked, scanning the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino adjusted his glasses, his voice as calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Oh no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image of swarming Kikaichū instantly made her skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I surrender!\" she blurted without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa didn’t bat an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner, Shino.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number five, step forward,\" Kitazawa called next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha! Luck’s on my side!\" Ino grinned, practically skipping into the arena. Most of the heavy hitters had already fought—the only opponent left was a regular girl with average scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino greeted her politely, formed hand seals, and createdtwo clones. Three Inos rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poor girl hesitated for a second, flustered, and was quickly tagged by a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I surrender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another clean win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a twenty-minute break!\" Kitazawa announced. \"Then we start the third and final round. Only students with a total of ninety points or above from the first two rounds will advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka stepped forward, reading the list:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Shino, Ino, Hinata, Shikamaru.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru slumped onto the ground. \"Finally... over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over? You still have one more match,\" Choji reminded him with a nudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t made the cut—without a clan technique, his scores just weren’t enough. Sakura and Kiba had also failed to advance; Sakura was a medical trainee, and Kiba lacked a ninken partner to use his clan jutsu properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Troublesome... but I’ve got my reasons,\" Shikamaru said, resigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke!\" Naruto pumped his fist. \"This is it—the power of youth will claim first place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hn,\" Sasuke said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the pride of the Uchiha... first place is mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata glanced quietly at Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t waste the training Sensei gave 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>",1484,"2026-06-09T05:35:56.024Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce6172bb92ad77a3f2a61f9d0816f80ee3ec6cf78292d630f293f5cee75e0a4b","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-112","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-110",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
