We just saw each other last week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s eyes drifted down to the bandages on her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he’d always wondered why Kurenai wore bandages around her thighs and hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa, I need your help with something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile played on Kurenai’s fair face as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kurenai, like him, held the rank of Chunin, there were vast differences in strength even among Chunins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She possessed powerful Genjutsu. Her father, Shinku Yuhi, was one of Konoha’s rare Jonin-level genjutsu specialists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kurenai stood at the very peak of the Chunin rank—a half-step away from Jonin—then Kitazawa was solidly at the lower end of the Chunin scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I recently became a private tutor,\" Kurenai said, her tone troubled. \"But this student is incredibly stubborn, and I was hoping to ask your advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa fell silent, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original timeline, Kurenai had led Team 8, which included Hyuga Hinata, Shino Aburame, and Inuzuka Kiba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she’d also once taken on another student: Yakumo Kurama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo possessed a rare genjutsu kekkei genkai that allowed her illusions to become reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genjutsu was a Yin Release art, and Yakumo’s powerful Yin chakra frequently caused her physical and mental health to deteriorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her safety, her parents had refused to let her attend the Ninja Academy and instead hired Kurenai as a private tutor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yakumo was obsessed with becoming a ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enduring repeated rejections, she developed a monstrous Yin-based entity in her subconscious called Ido. Ultimately, she lost control—and killed her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, ordered Kurenai to eliminate the monster lurking within Yakumo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been voted the best teacher at the Ninja Academy three years in a row.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai clasped her hands together, bent slightly at the waist, and said, \"Please, old classmate—I need your help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kitazawa was about to answer, a glowing blue screen popped up before his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Mission: Help classmate Yakumo Kurama return to the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Reward: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Accept?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s brow shot up. ’This actually triggered a mission?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more missions, the better—so he chose to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem,\" Kitazawa said, smiling. \"I’m pretty confident when it comes to teaching students.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\" Kurenai said, patting her chest in relief. \"With your help, I feel a lot more at ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come find me after classes tomorrow,\" Kitazawa added after thinking it over. \"I’ll share some teaching tips with you then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai nodded, her eyes bright. \"I’ll treat you to drinks tomorrow night as thanks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal,\" Kitazawa said without hesitation. \"And we’re not stopping until we’re both plastered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve never managed to out-drink me since we were kids. I’ll probably be dragging you home again,\" Kurenai shot back with a triumphant grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The past is the past. This time will be different,\" Kitazawa retorted stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll look forward to your performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai gave him a playful punch on the arm. \"I’m off. See you tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa watched her go, shaking his head with an exasperated smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Kurenai had been childhood friends, classmates since they were six years old—a friendship spanning fifteen years now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his other classmates back then were Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Uchiha Obito, and Rin Nohara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of them had died in the Third Great Ninja War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt about it: Kitazawa was a transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving a snarky comment—\"Have you ever even been a ninja? Some of these things are written all over the place, just assuming stuff!\"—under a Naruto fanfiction titledUndercover in Konoha, Part-time Hokage, Kitazawa suddenly found himself in Konoha for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of his parents had been Chunin, so when he turned six, he was enrolled at the Ninja Academy like countless other shinobi children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his talent turned out to be painfully average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eventually scraped through and graduated as a Genin at thirteen—only to be hit with the devastating news that his parents had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Kitazawa realized how brutal reality could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouting about bonds and friendship and charging at Uchiha Madara was something only protagonists got to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guys like him were cannon fodder among cannon fodder. So he made a firm decision: he would become a teacher instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before landing that job, he’d even joined an experimental Medical Ninja training program founded by Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unsurprisingly, he’d shown zero aptitude for medical ninjutsu either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Kitazawa became a teacher at the Ninja Academy, specializing in lectures about the Will of Fire and Konoha’s history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was known for promoting his own theory inspired by the Will of Fire:\"The Hokage is the sun, and the Hokage’s kindness knows no bounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to that—and his genuinely solid teaching skills—he’d been voted Best Teacher at the Academy three years running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Kitazawa stood in thought, then decided not to return to the academy right away. Instead, he headed north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Iruka Umino managing the new-student registrations, there was nothing urgent on his plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’System, show me my character panel.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought popped into Kitazawa’s mind, and he silently triggered the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Kitazawa\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Age: 6\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninjutsu: Clone Jutsu, Body Replacement Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm, Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evaluation: So-called genius is merely your starting line; you were born to be a ninja, destined to become the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strongly suspected the system was mocking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"genius ninja\" at twenty-one years old? If word got out, the Uchiha clan would laugh for three days straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, when he glanced at the listed age on his panel, he realized the system wasn’t lying. It was simply operating on a timeline bug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa remembered an old saying:If a bug runs fine, don’t fix it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training Ground, outskirts of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa came to a halt and formed a quick string of hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra surged into his throat. As he opened his mouth and exhaled, a massive fireball, five or six meters wide, roared into existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching air shimmered with heat waves, the temperature spiking dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball crashed into the earth, leaving a charred black crater in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This system... is actually pretty damn good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa blinked in surprise, then grinned in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of any ninjutsu depended on both chakra reserves and mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa had watched many shinobi unleash the Great Fireball Jutsu over the years—but none of them had ever packed the raw power he’d just produced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that, with enough chakra, his Great Fireball could rival even Uchiha Madara’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the benefit of a system that instantly maxed out proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hokage’s Office\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi unfurled a scroll across his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The document contained a record of Uzumaki Naruto’s activities for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he noticed Kitazawa’s interactions with Naruto, he fell silent, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Hiruzen sifted through his memory for everything he knew about Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unremarkable Chunin overall—but one with unique insights into the Will of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He shouldn’t know Naruto’s true identity,\" Hiruzen murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While most villagers regarded Naruto like a dangerous beast, Kitazawa treated the boy with simple fairness—a sign, in Hiruzen’s eyes, that he genuinely embodied the Will of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what Naruto will learn from him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glimmer of hope and curiosity lit up Hiruzen’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep the Chapters coming - Support with POWER STONES.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Every 50 power stones - 1 BONUS Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-09T05:35:55.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f43a818e31c6e4a4d03d0c82579dab7e7f0e77bec683a730790c0f64b7c1d84","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-3","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-1",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
