Chapter 100: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

After buying breakfast, Kitazawa arrived at the Ninja Academy.

As expected, Hinata Hyuga was already waiting in his office.

"Eat."

Kitazawa placed the breakfast items on the tea table one by one.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga took a sip of milk, the corners of her mouth lifting involuntarily: "I had a sparring match with Father yesterday."

"You’re so happy; could it be that you won?"

Kitazawa teased.

"No... no."

Teased like this, Hinata Hyuga’s face turned slightly red, and she said weakly: "How... how could I possibly win?"

In her understanding, Hiashi Hyuga was a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

If she could achieve even half of his strength in her lifetime, it would be remarkable.

"Why not?"

Kitazawa smiled and said, "Teacher believes you will definitely be able to defeat him in the future."

"Ah?"

Hinata Hyuga’s small mouth hung open, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"If you didn't win, why are you so happy?"

Kitazawa took a bite of a rice ball and brought the conversation back on track.

"Father said I have improved a lot!"

Hinata Hyuga snapped out of it, a smile returning to her small face.

"This shows that you have great talent."

Kitazawa praised her.

Hinata Hyuga’s problem was her lack of self-confidence.

For this situation, Kitazawa’s method was simple: praise her more.

"I... I don’t have any talent."

Hinata Hyuga looked up at him and said, "It was Teacher Kitazawa’s training that worked."

"My training works because you have great talent."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga felt her brain stalling a bit.

How did it circle back to this again?

Could it be that my talent is really that good?

"I... I am far inferior to Neji-niisan."

Hinata Hyuga suddenly thought of something, her expression dimming.

"Not necessarily."

Kitazawa shook his head and comforted her: "It is normal for him to be stronger than you because he is older."

Hinata Hyuga definitely had talent.

In the original story, Toneri Otsutsuki and the spirits of the Otsutsuki all referred to her as the Princess of the Byakugan, believing she possessed a Byakugan of extremely high purity.

"Bu... but..."

Hinata Hyuga hesitated.

"Practice makes perfect."

Kitazawa met her gaze and said, "If you keep training, I believe that one day you will be able to defeat Neji Hyuga."

Theoretically, it was indeed very difficult, but he had a cheat.

Once he obtained the Byakugan and the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Hinata Hyuga would certainly have a chance at victory.

After all, the ninjutsu rewards given by the system always came with maxed-out proficiency.

Hinata Hyuga was stunned.

She had never once had the thought of defeating Neji Hyuga.

But looking at Kitazawa’s serious expression, she nodded almost involuntarily.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga looked away and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"Go ahead."

Kitazawa finished his rice ball and picked up a piece of sushi.

"Father said my chakra has increased by half compared to before."

Hinata Hyuga said, sounding puzzled.

"You and your father don’t know the reason?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Mm."

Hinata Hyuga nodded and said.

Although she had been refining chakra every day for the past month, an increase of half was still too shocking.

"I see, you weren't listening in class."

Kitazawa raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead.

"I... I haven't been to class recently."

Hinata Hyuga blushed and said softly.

"Ahem."

Kitazawa skipped over the topic and asked, "Do you know what chakra is composed of?"

"It is the product of mixing spiritual energy and physical energy."

Hinata Hyuga answered.

"Your chakra increase means an increase in both spiritual and physical energy."

Kitazawa asked in return, "Think about it, what have you been doing during this time?"

"I haven't done..."

Hinata Hyuga suddenly froze.

She realized the reason.

With Kitazawa’s help, she no longer had to hide the secret that she was a big eater.

For nearly a month, she had been eating her fill every day.

Once full, the body naturally has abundant energy.

"Is it really like that?"

Hinata Hyuga muttered to herself, deeply shocked.

She had always felt that being a big eater was a very shameful thing, not in accordance with the rules and etiquette of the Hyuga clan, and that it seemed crude.

"Being able to eat is a blessing."

Kitazawa reached out, patted her head, and said, "You don’t need to feel embarrassed about this in the future."

Hinata Hyuga looked up at him.

She couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

Defeating Toranosuke, Hiashi Hyuga’s praise, and the chakra gained from eating.

With all these things piling up, the emotions she had accumulated for so long erupted all at once.

"Ki..."

Hinata Hyuga had just opened her mouth when she realized tears were falling.

She frantically wiped her tears, not daring to look up at Kitazawa again.

What a pitiful child.

Kitazawa sighed inwardly, saying nothing, just watching her quietly.

"Sorry, Teacher Kitazawa."

After a long while, Hinata Hyuga took a deep breath and said.

"There is no need to apologize for this."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

"Thank you."

Hinata Hyuga felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Those heavy emotions had all flowed out of her body with her tears, leaving behind only a hint of indescribable pleasure.

"Let’s go, let’s head to the classroom."

After finishing breakfast, Kitazawa stood up and said.

"Mm."

Hinata Hyuga followed him very obediently.

The class bell rang.

"Before we start class, I have one thing to announce to you all."

Kitazawa stood on the podium and said with a smile: "In early June, our class will hold a friendly match against Class 2-A."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a stir in the classroom.

"Class 2-A? The class with Neji Hyuga?"

Choji Akimichi widened his eyes and said, "Then we’re doomed to lose; it’s impossible to win."

"Don’t dampen our own spirits!"

Kiba Inuzuka slammed the table and asked, "We haven't even fought yet, how can you say we can't win?"

"You don’t know how strong Neji Hyuga is."

Ino Yamanaka said, looking unconfident: "He is even more famous than Sasuke; he is a renowned genius of the Hyuga clan."

"How could there be a student more genius than Sasuke-kun?"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists and said, "Sasuke-kun will definitely be able to defeat him!"

"I will defeat him."

Sasuke Uchiha said abruptly.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Hearts appeared in Sakura Haruno’s eyes.

This was the first time Sasuke Uchiha had spoken to her.

"Neji Hyuga is not someone to mess around with."

Shikamaru Nara said, unusually serious.

Upon hearing the name Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga’s body stiffened.
