He didn’t come to work yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka nodded. \"He took the day off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki frowned. The friendly match between their classes was coming up on Friday, and Kitazawa was skipping work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... he’d already given up on beating his class?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grin spread across Mizuki’s face. \"Looks like our class is winning the friendly match for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not necessarily true,\" Iruka said quietly, remembering the intense training session from the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura... each one had surprised him with unexpected skill and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are kids these days all this strong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—he realized. It was just the kids from Class 1A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they had Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long have you even known Kitazawa?\" Mizuki snapped. \"Don’t you trust your good friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I trust you,\" Iruka said, but his voice was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki narrowed his eyes, hearing the hesitation loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn that Kitazawa... I can’t stand him!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached the faculty office building, Mizuki was still scowling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mizuki. Iruka.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged instructor approached them, holding some papers. \"This is the new notice from the principal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki took the sheet, gave it a glance—and felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Iruka gasped, reading over his shoulder. \"Kitazawa-senpai actually made Special Jōnin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notice was brief but explosive: Kitazawa had passed the Special Jōnin assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal had sent it out because it directly affected staffing and salary structures at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the ninja world, strength commanded respect—and a Special Jōnin wasn’t just a regular sensei anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In modern terms, Kitazawa had basically become a \"senior instructor\" or even a professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He took yesterday off for the assessment,\" the middle-aged instructor explained. Then he moved on to distribute notices to other offices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka slowly exhaled. \"Since the Academy was founded, I think fewer than ten people have ever been promoted to Special Jōnin for their educational skills alone...\" He trailed off, looking rattled. \"That’s... incredible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most good senseis lacked serious combat ability. And the truly strong shinobi usually didn’t bother teaching—or if they did, they weren’t necessarily any good at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those realities meant the Academy had only a handful of Special Jōnin or Jōnin instructors. The majority were Chūnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki clenched the paper so tightly it crumpled in his fist, his expression twisting into something ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Mizuki’s mind, Kitazawa had never seemed particularly strong. He’d always assumed Kitazawa was weaker than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He must’ve pulled strings... Hokage-sama probably went easy on him...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer Mizuki stewed on it, the more convinced he became. Resentment and bitterness tangled inside him like barbed wire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iruka, noticing Mizuki’s dark expression, instinctively stepped half a pace back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tiny movement hit Mizuki like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even Iruka doesn’t believe in me...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going back to the office!\" Mizuki snapped through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Iruka could reply, Mizuki spun on his heel and stormed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the sound of frustrated yelling echoed from the faculty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa walked down the bustling street, his mind already occupied with ideas for new ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sharing grilled fish with Kurenai the day before, he’d returned to the village—only to run into Tsunade emerging from the casino, looking thoroughly defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had, unsurprisingly, gambled away every last ryo. With no other option to replenish her funds, she’d roped him into brainstorming sessions about medical ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ended up discussing possibilities all afternoon and well into the evening, finally arriving at a preliminary direction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be two approaches—treating the symptoms and treating the root cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treating symptoms meant easing the pain of psychological trauma—Jutsus to displace negative emotions, for instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treating the root cause was more radical, such as erasing memories altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, which approach to use would always depend on the patient’s choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth ninjutsu they planned to develop was memory erasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ninja world, plenty of Jutsus already existed for infiltrating or manipulating memories, but all of them were designed as weapons—tools for espionage and interrogation, never for healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To repurpose such Jutsus as therapy, extensive modification would be necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa mulled over the challenge as he walked. Before long, he reached the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped inside the main office building, he was met by an unusual wave of enthusiasm from his colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Kitazawa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-senpai, you’re incredible! Please look after us from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the first sensei promoted to Special Jōnin in the past five years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greeted everyone patiently. By the time he reached his own office, he was nearly five minutes behind schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A folded notice sat neatly on his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So the old man decided to make it public,’Kitazawa thought,recognizing Hiruzen’s handwriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew perfectly well why the Hokage had broadcasted the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen wanted him to shape Naruto and the others into heirs of the Will of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was equally aware that all this trust—and all these privileges—would vanish the moment he strayed from the village’s ideals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the end, power is the only thing that truly matters.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, if the promotion meant better pay and more resources, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned as Hinata and Ino walked into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Sakura?\" he asked, setting down the breakfast he’d brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She already ate and went to train with Sasuke,\" Ino reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not surprised,\" Kitazawa said with a smile. \"Come on—let’s eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei, why weren’t you here yesterday?\" Ino asked as she bit into her rice ball. \"You don’t know how much we missed you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Hinata instinctively nodded in agreement—only to look down shyly when Kitazawa’s gaze landed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, the three of them headed out to the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Ino hurried off to join Sakura for tree-climbing practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa created a shadow clone to work on the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, while he stayed behind to guide Hinata with leaf-catching exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all at once, he felt a strange stillness inside himself—a pause, as if the world had momentarily held its breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Complete: Learn a B-rank ninjutsu within half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: 10% Senju Clan bloodline acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the notification echoed in his mind, a rush of unfamiliar energy coursed through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa instinctively clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So this is what it feels like...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a mere tenth of Senju lineage was enough to transform him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he’d awakened Yang Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, his chakra reserves had expanded by at least a fifth of his own chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, every aspect of his physical constitution—his strength, stamina, and recovery—had improved noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This world really does revolve around bloodlines.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly, feeling the changes settle into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the first time, he sensed that his journey had only just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-09T05:35:56.024Z",1,"novelbin.me","47f6c24134aacbf1ffb54dd29cffd8a28f9c4c14e676bcf4d45a89e04db9e970","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-76","naruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-chapter-74",444,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-strongest-shinobi-system-with-a-glitch-cover.jpg"]
