She was already a beauty enthusiast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, who wasn’t? Everyone liked to sneak an extra glance at handsome men and pretty women; it was just that some people were more obvious about it than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei! I’m Sakura Haruno!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura poked her round head out from behind Ino, her eyes shining with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pleasure to meet you all,\" Kitazawa said with a polite nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hinata watched their excited chatter, a flicker of envy flashing in her pale eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! The great me has arrived! I came, I saw, I conquered! I’m totally gonna be Hokage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short-haired boy suddenly burst into the classroom, striking a dramatic pose and yelling with all the flair of a true chuunibyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he noticed Kitazawa standing there, he shrank back in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... Hello, sensei. I’m... the great... I mean, I’m Inuzuka Kiba.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba scratched the back of his head, cheeks flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on and take your seat,\" Kitazawa said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that age, kids were full of wild fantasies. They’d only learn the harshness of reality once they grew up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa glanced around but didn’t spot Akamaru anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Inuzuka clan didn’t possess a Bloodline Limit, they were known for their unique techniques that allowed them to partner and merge with their canine companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sensei,\" Kiba said quickly. He darted his eyes left and right, then slunk off to a seat near the back by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could’ve dug a hole and hidden in it, he probably would’ve. It felt exactly like getting caught reading a novel in class, only to turn around and see the homeroom teacher glaring through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shikamaru! Choji! Over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino waved her slender arm energetically, calling out to two more boys lingering near the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nara Shikamaru, sporting his trademark pineapple-shaped hair, cast a weary glance their way, looking utterly reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three chatty girls plus a sensei? That spelled nothing but trouble to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru hated trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a somewhat chubby Akimichi Choji wasn’t so cautious. He simply grabbed a fresh bag of potato chips and ambled over without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei, want some chips?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino reached for the bag as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa glanced at Choji’s distressed face, then added with a chuckle, \"Though I wouldn’t say no to some French fries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What a good person!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji’s shoulders slumped in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Kitazawa, he’d just earned himself a mental \"good person\" badge from the Akimichi heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t put on airs and quickly started chatting comfortably with the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time ticked by, more kids trickled into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was the first day of the new school year, everyone was still getting to know one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the corner where Kitazawa sat—it was practically buzzing with laughter and chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one who seemed out of place was Hyuga Hinata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, she remained quiet, only speaking in a soft voice when Kitazawa prompted her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time’s almost up. Let’s pick this up another day if we get the chance,\" Kitazawa said, standing and moving toward the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So handsome and gentle! He’s totally my ideal type!\" Ino gushed, eyes sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad he’s too old,\" Sakura said, shaking her head dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah...\" Ino sighed with a tinge of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look! A handsome guy!\" Sakura suddenly cried out excitedly, eyes locking on someone new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino Yamanaka instinctively turned toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool-looking boy strolled in, hands stuffed casually in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls in the classroom erupted into excited whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Sasuke didn’t spare them so much as a glance. He picked a seat, sat down, and locked eyes on Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder how strong this sensei is... could he even be one-tenth as good as my brother?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sasuke’s just trying to look cool now. The real shift will come after the Uchiha Clan Massacre, when he truly shuts himself off.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t his immediate concern. What caught his attention was the mission that suddenly flashed in front of his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Mission: Gain the initial approval of your classmate, Uchiha Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Reward: Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Accept]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same type of mission he’d received for Uzumaki Naruto—but the difficulty was worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke still had both parents alive and an older brother who was a legendary genius, Uchiha Itachi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa was merely an ordinary Chunin; winning Sasuke’s approval wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just like Hinata, Sasuke craves his father’s acknowledgment. The key might be the Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa pondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the classroom fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavyweight had arrived—Uzumaki Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the hush came a low murmur of gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto caught the whispers and froze, his eyes clouding with loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even here, school wasn’t any different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naruto. Find yourself a seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s familiar voice jolted Naruto from his daze. He nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s tone turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the classroom fell silent. Though the hush settled, the judgmental stares remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s gaze swept the room until he spotted someone unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden behind dark glasses and a high-collared cloak stood Shino Aburame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When did he get here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa tried to remember seeing him arrive—but couldn’t recall a single moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s begin class. But first, as tradition demands, we’ll start with introductions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa picked up a piece of chalk, scribbled his name on the blackboard, and announced,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting from the first row, come up one by one and introduce yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped aside to clear space for the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, they took the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the Konoha 12, most of the names were unfamiliar to Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee were in the year above them, so they weren’t here yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name’s Nara Shikamaru. I don’t have any big dreams. I just wanna live a peaceful life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru yawned halfway through his sentence, looking utterly bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I dislike many things... and there’s nothing I particularly like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s face stayed blank. Only when he added, \"My dream is to become a ninja like my older brother,\" did his expression soften, a flicker of admiration shining through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I love instant noodles and ramen—but I hate waiting three minutes for instant noodles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto stood on the podium, took a deep breath, and declared firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And my dream is... to surpass the Hokage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Exactly the same as in the original timeline. He really is terrifyingly persistent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class, however, exploded in mocking laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daydreamer! How could a monster become Hokage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he thinks he can surpass Lord Third? That’s impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto shrank back slightly, wounded by their ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa stepped onto the podium, his face solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this funny to you?\" he demanded, his voice echoing through the classroom. \"Because all I see standing here... is an excellent inheritor of the Will of Fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swept his gaze across the room, cold and unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all claim you want to become Hokage. But the moment you mocked Naruto, you lost that right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All laughter and chatter died instantly, leaving the classroom in stunned silence.\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>",1271,"2026-06-09T05:35:55.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a6c7c7db8db31e14276ba5dc6a187839e8dcbd34663daa11ac129d4c83a6653","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-5","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-3",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
