Even when Naruto finally defeated him in the Chunin Exams, he’d needed the Nine-Tails’ chakra to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, Naruto couldn’t tap into the Nine-Tails at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke hadn’t awakened his Sharingan yet, and the others were even less likely to be a match for Neji in direct combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, that didn’t mean there was no way to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could change the form of the contest—a competition of chakra control, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what really made Kitazawa pause was the sudden appearance of a mission notification in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An outside class has challenged your class. As class representative, you must accept the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Mission: Defeat Second Year Class A in a friendly match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That reward was worth the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Byakugan, combined with Gentle Fist, was the reason the Hyuga Clan had remained powerful for centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Hyuga had never produced monsters like Uchiha Madara, their techniques were more than enough to deal with most shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among their taijutsu, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and Rotation were the most iconic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rotation could be considered S-rank difficulty, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms was likely A-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And both of them were secret arts reserved for the Hyuga main family—never taught to branch members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, Kitazawa?\" Mizuki pressed, sensing a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was desperate to beat Kitazawa—just once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was an unfair fight, victory was still victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa finally spoke, his tone calm but deliberate. \"But I have one condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What condition?\" Mizuki asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my class wins, you’ll agree to grant me one request—no matter what it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa said it so casually, as if it were nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, he was already thinking about the mission to send Mizuki to prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Mizuki’s personality, he’d definitely give Kitazawa the opportunity he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine.\" Mizuki paused, then narrowed his eyes. \"And if your class loses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Losing is hardly unusual, is it?\" Kitazawa countered smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You shameless bastard... You’re not even willing to take the tiniest risk.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I’ve decided on the rules of the match, I’ll let you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa gave a polite smile, turned, and walked off toward the faculty office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When your class gets utterly crushed, let’s see if you can still smile,\" Mizuki muttered under his breath, fists clenching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what scheme Kitazawa cooked up, none of it would matter in the face of overwhelming strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Year Class A was an entire year ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they actually lost to a group of first-years...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well slam his head into the Hokage Monument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa returned to the office and found Sasuke waiting silently by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have to ask why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Shadow Clone will take you to train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa formed a quick set of hand seals, and a clone appeared beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke gave a curt nod and followed the clone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa watched the boy’s back recede down the hall, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sasuke could awaken his Sharingan in time, could he stand a chance against Neji?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a possibility—but only a slim one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A one-tomoe Sharingan wouldn’t have much of an advantage against the Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And awakening it was no simple feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke had only unlocked it during the Uchiha Clan massacre—after the trauma of losing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t think of anything that could replicate that kind of emotional shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Naruto...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Tails was a power he didn’t dare meddle with at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I’ll have to tackle this from a few different angles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa picked up a pen, paused in thought, then began writing on a scroll:Chakra ShapeandChakra Control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Chakra Shape competition was simple enough—it was a battle to see whose ninjutsu packed the most power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Kitazawa thought of Sasuke’s Great Fireball Jutsu. With Sasuke competing, securing first place in that category shouldn’t be an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chakra Control, that spoke for itself: tree climbing, water walking, and other precise feats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he only proposed those two events, Mizuki might balk at the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kitazawa thought for a moment longer and added two more categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a physical fitness test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other... actual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Uzumaki Naruto in the physical fitness round, victory there was practically guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And actual combat was undoubtedly what Mizuki most wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a full-class, one-on-one battle would be a disaster for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talented ninja could occasionally fight above their level—but true geniuses were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the kids in his class were still just normal students. Without a year’s worth of additional training, losing to the second-years was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kitazawa made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d compete in a best-of-five format.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was onlyoneHyuga Neji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a contest of quality over quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When should I schedule it...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa stroked his chin, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he gave Mizuki too much advance notice, the man would definitely organize targeted training for his students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Kitazawa was particularly worried—if both classes trained equally hard, talent would decide the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among the Konoha Twelve Rookies, he had nine on his side. Mizuki only had three. The advantage was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing some mental calculations, Kitazawa decided to hold the event right after the next monthly exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month was just enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too short for Mizuki to stage a special training miracle... but perfect for refining Sasuke, Hinata, and Ino’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Kitazawa rolled up the scroll and headed to Mizuki’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki read the scroll in silence, then smiled in easy agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, there was no way he could lose any of those four events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first three, he was certain Hyuga Neji would sweep first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in actual combat, he believed he could win at least one match, and count on the rest of his class to secure the other two victories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Mizuki felt the odds were firmly stacked in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa, however, didn’t bother returning to the faculty office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he headed straight for Kurenai’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was determined to help Yakumo become a psychological medic as quickly as possible. That way, he could establish contact with Tsunade—and eventually complete his own mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa, you came at the perfect time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai greeted him with a bright wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re in high spirits today. Don’t tell me you finished developing the Truth Extraction Jutsu?\" Kitazawa teased as he approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not the Truth Extraction Jutsu—it’s Yakumo’s bloodline limit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai’s eyes sparkled. \"Yakumo, show him what you can do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo stepped forward and held up a painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kitazawa’s gaze, the white cat depicted on the paper seemed to come alive, springing from the canvas and landing gracefully on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat trotted over and nuzzled against Kitazawa’s pant leg, its soft fur tickling his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa crouched down and reached out to scratch it behind the ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels completely real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai beamed. \"This is a genjutsu Yakumo developed using her bloodline limit—it’s calledGenjutsu: False Reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to thank Kitazawa-sensei for giving me the idea,\" Yakumo said shyly. \"You told me to try channeling my bloodline limit through painting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa was pleasantly surprised, though not entirely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,Genjutsu: False Realityexisted in the original timeline—it allowed illusions to manifest physically, turning the contents of a painting into real, tangible creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a thought struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This could be my secret weapon against Mizuki.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo’s bloodline limit was undoubtedly on par with Mangekyo Sharingan-level abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She might even be able to defeat Neji...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AN : To keep the Chapters coming - Support with POWER STONES.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Every 100 power stones - 1 BONUS Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Every 10 5-star reviews - 2 BONUS Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For getting to Top 10 Power ranking- 3 Extra Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AN: Check out my P@treon For extra Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank You For your Support!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002Fnoviceauthor777\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-06-09T05:35:55.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca4270ea08c0902ff93a36bfd8110619bba5f7ae3d01906449a7ae868aa91d2c","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-47","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-45",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
