Chapter 34: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I'm Tsunade's Student, Chapter 18

"Huh?"

Teuchi instinctively looked at Hinata Hyuga.

"I..."

Hinata Hyuga felt embarrassed all of a sudden; she wanted to refuse, but didn't know how to say it.

"Hinata."

Kitazawa reached out, pinched her cheek, and asked, "Tell your teacher honestly, are you full?"

"N-no."

Hinata Hyuga felt a tremor in her heart, her face turning slightly red as she spoke.

"Well... you can't judge a book by its cover."

Teuchi sighed with emotion and returned to the kitchen.

A moment later, he brought out a second bowl of chashu ramen.

Under Kitazawa's gaze, Hinata Hyuga blushed and picked up her chopsticks.

Although she was very shy, she maintained her good upbringing and ate very elegantly.

Ten minutes later, the second bowl of chashu ramen was successfully finished.

"Teuchi, one more bowl."

Kitazawa called out.

Hinata Hyuga pursed her lips, the blush on her face becoming even more pronounced.

This was the first time someone had discovered her secret of being a big eater.

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

Kitazawa comforted her, saying, "Being able to eat is a good thing."

Just then, four lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[You have discovered your desk mate's secret. As the class monitor, you should help her while keeping her secret.]

[Current Mission: Feed your desk mate, Hinata Hyuga, until she voluntarily reveals her secret.]

[Mission Reward: Byakugan.]

[Accept?]

Kitazawa couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Although he had completed quite a few missions, the rewards had always been basic ninjutsu.

Fortunately, for an ordinary Chunin like him, they counted as an increase in strength.

But this mission was completely different.

The Byakugan was absolutely priceless.

In the ninja world, there was an underground black market where bounties for the Sharingan and Byakugan started in the tens of millions of ryo.

Because of the Caged Bird seal, the Byakugan was even more expensive; a complete pair of Byakugan was worth no less than an Asuma Sarutobi.

After all, eyes in the ninja world were plug-and-play.

Although the Byakugan basically couldn't be upgraded, even an ordinary Byakugan was a huge boost.

Long-range vision, X-ray vision, and insight were enough to make Kitazawa's strength skyrocket.

If he also learned the Gentle Fist, becoming a Jonin would be an easy task.

"Hinata, eat as much as you want. Teuchi and I will keep your secret."

Kitazawa came back to his senses and said with a serious face.

"Keeping secrets for customers is basic professional ethics."

Teuchi nodded and said.

"Thank you."

Hinata Hyuga picked up her chopsticks and started on the third bowl of ramen.

Time passed slowly.

In the end, Hinata Hyuga ate seven bowls of ramen.

It was much less than in the original work, after all, she was still quite young.

Teuchi clicked his tongue in wonder.

If it weren't for Hinata Hyuga having a pair of Byakugan, he would have suspected she was a child of the Akimichi clan.

However, as a ramen shop owner, he welcomed these big eaters.

"Hinata, how do you feel about this morning?"

Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga left Ichiraku Ramen and walked toward the Ninja Academy.

Hinata Hyuga fell silent upon hearing this.

She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

For her, this had been the most rebellious morning of her life.

Whether it was skipping class, climbing over walls, or eating so many bowls of ramen.

It was exciting, but more than that, it was a feeling of freedom from constraints.

"I feel... very happy."

Hinata Hyuga said in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Kitazawa almost didn't hear what she said.

The two walked to the door of the Year 1, Class A classroom.

"Hinata, see you next class."

Kitazawa paused and said with a smile, "Today's special training was very effective. Let's keep it up tomorrow."

Hinata Hyuga felt her face burning upon hearing this.

She nodded and turned to flee into the classroom.

It was lunch break, and many people were sleeping on their desks.

"Hinata."

Ino Yamanaka heard the commotion, looked up, and asked, "Where did you go?"

In her perception, Hinata Hyuga was a goody-two-shoes.

But who would have thought she would become the first student in the class to skip school.

"I... I went out with Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga said stammeringly.

"Teacher Kitazawa?"

Ino Yamanaka straightened her soft waist, even more curious.

"It's... it's nothing, just went to learn taijutsu."

Hinata Hyuga buried her head in her arms and said, "Good afternoon."

Ino Yamanaka was thoughtful.

Was this getting special treatment behind their backs?

But she also felt that Kitazawa didn't seem like that kind of teacher.

Time reached the afternoon.

Kitazawa stood on the playground explaining the techniques for throwing kunai.

Before, it was a fixed target, but now it had been changed to a moving target, and the difficulty had soared.

However, for students from ninja clans like Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga, it was still very simple.

They had already mastered it before starting school.

Soon, the students were divided into two groups.

The students who successfully hit the moving target started their free time.

Sasuke Uchiha, like in the last class, went to find that tree to practice his chakra control.

Kitazawa followed him soon after.

"Hey, do you guys want to go take a look?"

Ino Yamanaka noticed the unusual behavior of Kitazawa and Sasuke Uchiha.

"No."

Shikamaru Nara lay on the grass, not wanting to move at all.

Choji Akimichi didn't answer because he was busy eating potato chips.

"Hinata, let's go."

Ino Yamanaka grabbed Hinata Hyuga's small hand and said.

As for Sakura Haruno, she was still practicing kunai throwing.

Although her talent was quite good among civilian ninjas, she was not from a ninja clan and had not undergone ninja training in advance.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga showed hesitation on her face.

She was indeed a little curious, but more afraid of making Kitazawa unhappy.

Seeing this, Ino Yamanaka pulled her directly forward.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination and found Sasuke Uchiha climbing a tree.

"Since you two are here, let's train together."

Kitazawa noticed them and spoke up.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Ino Yamanaka walked out generously and asked with a smile, "What kind of training is this?"

Hinata Hyuga glanced at Kitazawa, her face slightly red as she lowered her head.

"Training for chakra control ability. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't encounter this until after graduation."

Kitazawa explained, "But you are all geniuses, so you can try it in advance." ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
