Chapter 3

"Kitazawa, long time no see."

Lifting her slender, beautiful legs wrapped in white bandages, Kurenai Yuhi walked up to Kitazawa.

"It hasn't been that long, we only met last week."

Kitazawa's gaze fell on the bandages on her hands.

In his past life, he had always been curious about why Kurenai Yuhi wrapped bandages around her thighs and hands.

"Kitazawa, I want to ask you for a favor."

A smile appeared on Kurenai Yuhi's fair face as she spoke.

Kitazawa was somewhat surprised.

Although Kurenai Yuhi was a chunin just like him, there were gaps even among chunin.

Because she possessed a family-inherited ninjutsu.

Her father was Shinku Yuhi, a rare genjutsu jonin in the Hidden Leaf Village.

If Kurenai Yuhi was a chunin among chunin, then Kitazawa was just an average chunin.

"I recently became a private tutor."

Kurenai Yuhi said with a troubled tone: "But this student is very disobedient, so I want to learn from your experience."

Kitazawa was thoughtful upon hearing this.

In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi was the team leader for Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka.

But she also had another student named Yakumo Kurama.

She possessed a special genjutsu Kekkei Genkai that could turn genjutsu into reality.

Genjutsu belonged to Yin Release, and the power of Yin Release was too strong, which led to her body often having problems.

For safety's sake, her parents did not let her study at the ninja academy, but instead hired Kurenai Yuhi as a private tutor.

But she happened to have an obsession with becoming a ninja.

After being rejected time and time again, an Yin Release monster named Ido was born in her heart, and she killed her parents after losing control.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sensed the danger of Yakumo Kurama and ordered Kurenai Yuhi to kill the monster within her.

"You have been rated as the best teacher at the ninja academy for three consecutive years."

Kurenai Yuhi clapped her hands, leaned forward slightly, and said: "Please, old classmate!"

Just as Kitazawa was about to speak, a blue light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Current task: Help classmate Yakumo Kurama return to the ninja academy.]

[Task reward: Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death.]

[Accept?]

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow; this could actually trigger a task?

However, more tasks were never a burden, so he chose to accept.

"No problem."

Kitazawa agreed, "I'm quite confident in teaching students."

"Thank you, with your help, I feel much more at ease."

Kurenai Yuhi patted her chest and said.

"Come find me again after school tomorrow."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said: "I'll pass on some teaching experience to you then."

"Mm."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded, gave a hearty laugh, and said: "I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow night."

"Sounds good."

Kitazawa said unceremoniously: "We won't leave until we're drunk."

"From childhood until now, you've never out-drunk me; I'll definitely be the one sending you home again."

Kurenai Yuhi said with a smug look.

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

Kitazawa said stubbornly.

"Then I look forward to your performance."

Kurenai Yuhi reached out and punched him, saying: "I'm off, see you tomorrow."

Kitazawa watched her walk away and couldn't help but shake his head.

He and Kurenai Yuhi were childhood sweethearts; they were in the same class at age six, and they had known each other for fifteen years now.

Besides her, his classmates included Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

But most of them died in the Third Shinobi World War, and the grass on their graves was already three feet high.

Without a doubt, Kitazawa was a transmigrator.

He arrived in Konoha after writing "Have you ever been a ninja? Some things are written randomly, just wishful thinking" in the comments section of a Naruto fanfiction novel titled "Lurking in Konoha, Part-time Hokage."

Because his parents were both chunin in the Hidden Leaf Village, he was sent to the ninja academy to study when he was six.

But unfortunately, his talent was mediocre.

He finally managed to graduate and become a genin at thirteen, only to hear the news of his parents' death.

Kitazawa recognized the cruelty of reality.

Shouting about bonds and friendship while rushing toward Madara Uchiha was something only a protagonist could do.

He was the cannon fodder among cannon fodder, so he resolutely decided to change careers and become a teacher.

At the ninja academy, Kitazawa mainly taught the Will of Fire and Konoha history, occasionally teaching practical combat classes, such as the Three Body Jutsu.

Based on the Will of Fire, he proposed the theory that "The Hokage is the sun, and the Hokage's kindness can never be repaid."

Because of this, he was voted the best teacher at the ninja academy for three consecutive years.

Of course, his teaching level was also quite good.

Kitazawa pondered for a moment and did not return to the school, but instead walked toward the north.

With Iruka Umino in charge of enrollment, he had no need to worry.

"System, pull up my character panel."

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and muttered in his heart.

[Name: Kitazawa.]

[Age: 21.]

[Ninjutsu: Clone Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, Wind Style: Gale Palm, Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.]

[Evaluation: So-called genius is just a threshold to see you; you are a natural-born ninja, destined to become the strongest.]

Kitazawa rolled his eyes.

He suspected this system was being sarcastic.

A twenty-one-year-old genius ninja? If he said that out loud, it would make an Uchiha laugh for three days and three nights.

But seeing the age on the panel, he understood that this system wasn't lying, but running its program on a bug.

Kitazawa thought of a saying: if a bug works, don't fix it.

A training ground on the edge of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kitazawa stopped and performed hand seals.

A large amount of chakra gathered in his throat, and as he opened his mouth to exhale, a fireball with a diameter of five or six meters appeared.

The air distorted, and the terrifying temperature stirred up waves of heat.

With a boom!

The large fireball hit the ground, immediately leaving it charred black.

"This system is really not bad."

Kitazawa was stunned for a moment, then revealed a satisfied smile.

The power of a ninjutsu depends on the user's chakra and proficiency.

Kitazawa had seen many ninjas use the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, but none had as much power as his.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he had enough chakra, he would not be inferior to Madara Uchiha.

This is the gold content of the system directly maxing out proficiency.

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened a scroll.

The scroll recorded Naruto Uzumaki's experiences for the day.

When he saw Kitazawa and Naruto Uzumaki interacting, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
