Youth! Youth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three voices shouted in unison, breathless but perfectly synchronized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata turned her head instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures in identical green jumpsuits came trotting into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that... Naruto?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata blinked in disbelief as she squinted at the trio. Sure enough, one of them was her classmate, Uzumaki Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto spotted them and waved wildly, a huge grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect timing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock Lee suddenly burst forward, sprinting ahead of Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so fast! Check out my Youth Tornado!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto leapt into the air, spinning like a top, and effortlessly caught up with Lee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This fills me with burning passion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai wiped tears from his eyes as he cried, \"Let your youth blaze like a roaring flame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Kitazawa’s butterfly effect, Rock Lee had become Gai’s student earlier than he had in the original timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the biggest impact wasn’t on Lee—but on Uzumaki Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being born into the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto possessed a robust physique and a monstrous healing factor, making him a natural taijutsu prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai had taken him under his wing and was teaching him every secret he knew, already considering Naruto like one of his own disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Kitazawa had eased off training Naruto himself lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to taijutsu, Gai was handling things. Kitazawa’s role now was simply to help Naruto improve his academic grades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa rubbed his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Naruto masters the Eight Gates... that’s going to be terrifying. Who could possibly stop him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for Sasuke’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata stared at the bizarre scene before her, completely at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply couldn’t grasp the strange, explosive energy between Gai and his students—it was as shocking as it was confusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata, you still haven’t answered my question,\" Kitazawa reminded her gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to keep training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata snapped back to herself, replying without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d become used to Kitazawa’s demanding training. Even though she’d defeated Toranosuke, she wasn’t about to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still held onto one dream: earning Hyuga Hiashi’s acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s call Sasuke to join us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa considered this for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were going to have a shot at beating Second Year Class A, both Sasuke and Naruto would be crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sasuke was the type who’d leap at any chance for extra training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they headed for the Uchiha Clan compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Nine-Tails incident, the Uchiha Clan had been relocated to the outskirts of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Kitazawa and Hinata stepped inside the district, several Uchiha ninja fixed sharp eyes on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata instinctively shrank back, clutching Kitazawa’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright,\" Kitazawa reassured her quietly. \"They’re ninja of this village. They won’t pick a fight with us here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking fellow shinobi inside Konoha’s walls was basically tantamount to treason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And frankly, neither he nor Hinata were significant enough to ignite such a dangerous conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice suddenly cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man with a composed presence stepped toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa studied his features for a second before recognition struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Itachi—the loyal son and quiet genius. Those distinctive tear troughs beneath his eyes were unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Kitazawa. I’m a teacher at the Ninja Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa introduced himself directly. \"I’m looking for Uchiha Sasuke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Kitazawa-sensei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi’s lips curved in a faint smile. \"I’ve heard Sasuke mention you many times. He says you’re an excellent teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you be Sasuke’s older brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa feigned surprise, offering a respectful nod. \"I’ve heard of your genius for quite some time. It’s an honor to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing but an exaggerated reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi shook his head modestly, then added, \"I’m sorry, but I have other matters to attend to, so I can’t take you to Sasuke myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed them in the right direction before turning to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa and Hinata soon arrived at Sasuke’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku wasn’t there, but they were warmly welcomed by Mikoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief, polite exchange, Kitazawa explained his purpose for coming, then departed with Sasuke in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Ninja Academy training grounds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke, how’s your chakra nature transformation training going?\" Kitazawa asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn’t answer right away. Instead, he plucked a leaf from a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of fire chakra rippled around his fingers. The air shimmered with heat, and a dry wind blasted outward, scorching the leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the leaf had become brittle and shriveled—but it didn’t burst into flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your progress is impressive,\" Kitazawa said approvingly. \"Give it another day, and you’ll finish the preliminary stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Preliminary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chakra nature transformation training isn’t as simple as you might think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke clenched his fist, determination blazing in his eyes. \"As long as it gets me closer to my goal—I’ll do whatever it takes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Really, anything?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought flickered through Kitazawa’s mind before he quickly shook it off. He wasn’t some cartoon supervillain plotting world domination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You keep training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa left a Shadow Clone behind and headed for the artificial lake, with Hinata following at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have to say a word. The moment they arrived, Hinata stepped lightly onto the lake’s surface and began practicing her water-walking technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped by, and before long, the sun was sinking toward the horizon, bathing the world in orange glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke stood grinning, a burning leaf crackling between his fingers. He couldn’t hold back his laughter, his eyes bright with triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-laugh, he formed hand seals again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a scorching fireball exploded into existence, blazing in the dusk light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s lips curled into a satisfied smirk as he watched the sphere of flame swell—twice the size it had been before. It used to stand two or three meters high; now it roared five meters into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Surpassing Uchiha Itachi doesn’t seem so far away anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke dashed over, breathless with excitement. \"Give me the next training method!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Release isn’t just about burning things,\" Kitazawa said calmly. \"Its true strength lies in its intense heat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He produced a glass cup, filled it from the lake, and held it out. \"Evaporate all the water in this glass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke accepted the cup, lifted his palm, and focused his Fire Release chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, his brow creased, realization dawning. It was much harder than it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time’s up for today,\" Kitazawa said, clapping him lightly on the shoulder. \"We’ll pick up the training tomorrow. Keep the glass cup—it’s yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke nodded, gripping the glass cup like a precious treasure as he left the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Kitazawa finished escorting Hinata back to the Hyuga Clan compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hiashi stood waiting in the courtyard, arms folded. \"It’s been a while since I checked your Gentle Fist progress. Let’s spar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments earlier, he’d received a report from Ko about Hinata’s decisive fight against Toranosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi still found it hard to believe how cleanly she’d won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata froze in surprise, thrown off by the sudden challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her father’s words were an order, not a suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, lowering into the Gentle Fist stance. Her eyes grew sharp, and she lunged in first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi barely shifted. With minimal movement, he blocked her strike and raised an eyebrow, surprised by the force behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata staggered back a step. She drew a deep breath and rushed in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how fiercely she tried, her attacks were parried as if they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. That’s enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi finally lowered his arms and stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Father...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata bowed her head, guilt flashing across her face at his stern expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you apologizing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi’s tone softened as he regarded her with quiet approval. \"You’ve progressed more than I ever expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to the last time we sparred, your reaction speed, your chakra control, and the force in your Gentle Fist have all improved significantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi paused, then added, astonishment creeping into his voice. \"But the most remarkable thing... your chakra reserves have increased by nearly half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... that’s all thanks to Kitazawa-sensei!\" she blurted quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiashi shook his head, a faint frown on his face. \"Kitazawa is merely a Chunin. At best, he can help refine your chakra control. But expanding your chakra capacity—that comes from within. No one else can give that to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don’t really know...\" Hinata murmured, utterly bewildered.\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>",1511,"2026-06-09T05:35:55.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f4810d911086c6382c43de3b33e5d4a17b0257eb303a6acfbc84e2ff599c72f","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-49","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-47",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
