Chapter 9

"The so-called Hokage is to gain the recognition of everyone."

Kitazawa asked unhurriedly: "Naruto is your classmate and your companion, how can those who mock their companions become Hokage?"

Many people lowered their heads upon hearing this, showing shame.

Naruto Uzumaki felt as if the wind had blown sand into his eyes.

His face was full of determination; from now on, his dream was corrected to surpassing the Hokage and gaining the recognition of everyone.

Kitazawa also became the person second only to Hiruzen Sarutobi in his heart.

"This teacher is quite good."

Shikamaru Nara changed from his lazy appearance, sat up, and showed seriousness on his face.

He came from a ninja clan, so he naturally knew that Naruto Uzumaki was not a so-called monster.

But Kitazawa was just a civilian ninja and didn't understand the specific situation.

The only explanation was because he was kind.

Hinata Hyuga clenched her hands subconsciously.

She looked at Kitazawa, and a glimmer of longing flashed in her eyes.

First helping her, then helping Naruto Uzumaki, he really is... kind.

[Current task: Become the first student in the class to attract the attention of the principal, Hiruzen Sarutobi.]

[Task reward: Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.]

[Host has completed the task, rewards issued.]

Knowledge and experience related to Wind Style: Great Breakthrough emerged in Kitazawa's mind.

Sure enough, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was spying on them.

His words just now must have made him feel good, which is why he successfully completed the task.

Unfortunately, except for Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha, the other members of the 11 didn't trigger new tasks for him.

"Let's start class now."

Kitazawa picked up the chalk, revealed a refreshing smile, and said: "The class we are taking is called the Will of Fire."

The atmosphere in the classroom changed instantly, without the silence from before.

"Do you know what the relationship between the Will of Fire and the Hokage is?"

Kitazawa asked after writing the four characters for "Will of Fire."

"I do!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately raised his hand to signal.

"Naruto, you answer."

Kitazawa nodded upon seeing this and said.

"The Will of Fire was proposed by the Hokage!"

Naruto Uzumaki stood up and said loudly.

"Then do you know why the Hokage proposed the Will of Fire?"

Kitazawa asked again.

The expression on Naruto Uzumaki's face froze and became embarrassed.

This question was too profound for him.

"It's for you."

Kitazawa said earth-shatteringly.

"Us?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked with a look of surprise.

Not only him, but the other students also had the same expression.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and let new leaves sprout."

Kitazawa explained: "The focus of the Will of Fire is on you, because you are the future of Konoha, you are the hope."

"This is the first time I've heard such a statement."

"So I'm that amazing?"

"Does that mean even the Hokage has to protect me?"

Kitazawa listened to their discussions and couldn't help but smile.

There is indeed nothing wrong with the Will of Fire, but it is not so easy to execute.

For example, the darkness of the ninja world, the First Pot Shadow, Danzo Shimura.

He often used the banner of the Will of Fire to do some shady things.

In the end, theory alone is just a castle in the air.

But these have nothing to do with him now.

He only needs to use the Will of Fire to fool Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It's called turning the tables.

"Class dismissed, take a ten-minute break."

Kitazawa heard the bell ring, so he took his materials and left the classroom.

As a teacher, he maintained a good habit, which was never to drag out the class.

"Ino, I won!"

Sakura Haruno ran to Sasuke Uchiha like an arrow from a bow, turned back, and said very proudly.

"No!"

Ino Yamanaka reached out her hand, looking pained.

Heh, women.

Shikamaru Nara lay directly on the desk, exuding a listless aura.

In his view, women and such are all trouble, especially pretty women.

He just wanted to marry an ordinary woman and live out the rest of his life smoothly.

Choji Akimichi's idea was very pure; he took out a bag of potato chips directly.

I'm just gonna eat, eat, eat.jpg.

Ino Yamanaka looked at the gaudy Sakura Haruno through gritted teeth and suddenly thought of Kitazawa.

If there's no handsome little guy, then find a handsome big guy.

Just as she was about to head to the office, a blonde had already chased after him.

I was the one who came first!

Ino Yamanaka sighed and sat back down.

Hinata Hyuga hesitated for a moment and took out her textbook to review.

She was an obedient student.

"Teacher Kitazawa, wait for me!"

Naruto Uzumaki accelerated and rushed forward.

"Naruto, is there something I didn't explain clearly during class?"

Kitazawa stopped and asked.

"No."

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head quickly and said: "Teacher Kitazawa, you explained it very well, I could understand everything!"

What do you mean you could understand everything?

How unconfident are you?

But Kitazawa thought about it and could understand.

When enrolling, there is an assessment, and Naruto Uzumaki was the last one.

"Then what do you want with me?"

Kitazawa asked with a smile.

"I want to know how to gain the recognition of everyone?"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head and asked with anticipation.

"You are still... this question is very simple, just learn from the Hokage."

Kitazawa paused and changed his words.

He originally wanted to say you are still young, and when you grow up, you will naturally know, but he suddenly thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi might still be watching.

"Oh, right!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized and said: "I understand, thank you, Teacher Kitazawa!"

"See you next class."

Kitazawa smiled and turned to leave.

Teacher offices are divided into two types: independent single rooms and shared multi-person rooms.

Kitazawa's office was an independent single room.

The reason is very simple.

He can be considered a mid-level leader, roughly equivalent to a dean of students in his past life.

After all, he had been teaching for five years and had been rated as the best teacher for three consecutive years.

*Cough cough.*

Besides his teaching level, the most important thing was that the Will of Fire theory he proposed was liked by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Surviving is what matters, it's not shameful.

Being able to hug the Hokage's thigh in the Hidden Leaf Village is something many people envy.

Of course, if he could hug a thigh, he would prefer to hug the Fifth Hokage's thigh.

After all, he is a fan.

Kitazawa didn't return to his office, but came to the shared large office.

The large office had six desks pushed together, representing six teachers, and they were all first-grade teachers.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Iruka Umino noticed him and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Iruka."

Kitazawa asked with a smile: "First class, nervous?"

Iruka Umino only became a teacher this year, and he wasn't even eighteen years old yet.
