Chapter 518

A huge cake appeared before Kitazawa's eyes.

Twenty-two candles were stuck on the cake, representing his age reaching twenty-two.

Around the cake were Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, Yakumo Kurama, Karin, and others.

"Thank Itachi."

Kitazawa laughed.

Although he had expected it, he was still quite happy to see this scene.

His efforts over the past year hadn't been in vain.

At the beginning, he started special training for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha because he wanted to get system rewards.

But people are not made of grass or wood; who can be without feelings? After staying together for a long time, feelings naturally developed.

"Teacher Kitazawa, come blow out the candles quickly!"

Naruto Uzumaki said impatiently.

"Why are Itachi more anxious than Choji?"

Kiba Inuzuka elbowed him and teased.

"I'm not doing this to eat cake!"

Naruto Uzumaki snorted and said, "I just want to know what birthday wish Teacher Kitazawa will make!"

"What are Itachi talking about?"

Kiba Inuzuka retorted, "How can Itachi let others know your birthday wish?"

"Ah?"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened and he said, "I said my birthday wish out loud during my last birthday."

"It doesn't matter for Itachi."

Shikamaru Nara held the back of his head with both hands and said casually, "Anyway, everyone knows what your birthday wish is."

"Is my birthday wish that easy to guess?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked.

"Your head is full of Hokage thoughts."

Ino Yamanaka put her hands on her hips and said with a smile.

"Although that's true, if Itachi want to be Hokage, Itachi have to pass me!"

Kiba Inuzuka gave a thumbs up and said.

He had first learned Hell Dog, and now he was learning Fang Passing Fang; he was at his most confident.

"The Hokage is mine."

Sasuke Uchiha said suddenly.

"Eh?"

Sakura Haruno looked at him instinctively.

"Sasuke, when did Itachi become interested in being Hokage?"

Shikamaru Nara asked the question in Sakura Haruno's heart.

"Nothing, I just want Naruto to taste failure."

Sasuke Uchiha said calmly.

In reality, Fugaku Uchiha had mentioned it when they were chatting two days ago.

Sasuke Uchiha saw the longing in his expression and tone.

In his impression, Fugaku Uchiha had always been very calm and serious, rarely having such emotions.

If he could get his wish, he would definitely receive great praise and recognition.

Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha set becoming Hokage as one of his goals.

"As expected of Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes shone and she said, "So cool!"

"But Itachi just lost to Naruto."

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't stand him being so arrogant and tore him down.

"The past is the past, now is now, and the future is the future."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression stiffened, and he said stubbornly.

"Cough, cough."

Kabuto Yakushi stopped them in time and said, "Teacher Kitazawa, Itachi blow out the candles first."

"Sorry."

Naruto Uzumaki said immediately, "We talked too much."

Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, and others also showed embarrassed expressions.

"It's okay."

Kitazawa said indifferently, "A birthday is meant to be lively."

He patted Naruto Uzumaki's shoulder, walked forward, and blew out the candles.

Kitazawa put his hands together and closed his eyes.

Before getting the system, his wish was to live safely until the finale.

Now that he had the system, his wish had changed.

Currently, Kitazawa hoped that he would become stronger and stronger, preferably becoming the strongest in the ninja world.

"Okay, everyone, eat the cake."

After making his wish, Kitazawa opened his eyes.

"Kit..."

Naruto Uzumaki just wanted to ask what his birthday wish was, but thinking of Kiba Inuzuka's words, he stopped.

"Who wants to eat the first piece of cake?"

Kitazawa picked up the knife and cut a piece of cake.

"Me!"

Choji Akimichi immediately squeezed to the front and raised his hand very actively.

"Choji hasn't taken his eyes off the cake since he saw it."

Shikamaru Nara teased.

"Then here Itachi go."

Kitazawa smiled and handed him the cake.

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa!"

Choji Akimichi took the cake and said excitedly.

Kitazawa immediately cut a second piece of cake.

He scanned the room and found that shy gaze.

"Hinata."

Kitazawa reached out and placed the cake in front of her.

"Tha... thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga was stunned for a moment, but her heart was jumping with joy.

She took a bite of the cake and felt that her mouth was full of sweetness, just like her mood.

"Here Itachi go."

Kitazawa took the third piece of cake and saw Naruto Uzumaki eager to try.

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki ate the cake with a full face of smiles.

Not long after, all the cake was distributed.

Kitazawa picked up the last piece and took a bite; the taste was about the same as in his memory.

It seems that no matter which world Itachi go to, cake doesn't change much.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Choji Akimichi finished eating first and then presented a gift box.

"This is my gift!"

Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly took out a gift box.

"Thank Itachi."

Kitazawa didn't open them in front of them.

However, he did notice that the gifts they sent were all in the same style of gift box.

When he received Hinata Hyuga's gift box, he was a bit surprised.

Because her gift box was very heavy.

What was this?

Kitazawa suppressed the curiosity in his heart and collected the gift boxes one by one.

He wasn't afraid of mixing them up; there were names on the gift boxes.

Kitazawa guessed this was Kabuto Yakushi's handiwork.

After all, he paid the most attention to these details.

After eating the cake and giving the gifts, it was officially lunchtime.

"Teacher Kitazawa, just eat today; we'll grill all the barbecue!"

Kiba Inuzuka pulled Kitazawa and sat him in the main seat.

"Not bad!"

Naruto Uzumaki said confidently, "Teacher Kitazawa, try my youthful barbecue later! Guaranteed to be passionate and delicious!"

"Where does the passion come from in barbecue?"

Shikamaru Nara couldn't help but retort.

"Youthful barbecue makes Itachi feel passionate when Itachi eat it!"

Naruto Uzumaki said, picking up a piece of beef and placing it on the grill.

"Then that's not passion, that's just burning your mouth."

Kitazawa smiled and teased.

The others were slightly stunned and started laughing along.

A happy atmosphere immediately filled the private room.

"Itachi guys just wait!"

Naruto Uzumaki gathered his strength and said loudly, "My youthful barbecue will definitely get Itachi fired up!"

"We'll grill too."

Ino Yamanaka distributed barbecue to Hinata Hyuga, Karin, and the others, saying, "Our girls' barbecue will definitely be better!"

Byakugan!

Hinata Hyuga held a lamb skewer, and veins bulged around her eyes.
