After leaving the Ninja Academy, Kitazawa made his way toward Kurenai’s house.
Along the way, his mind churned with thoughts of his many ongoing missions.
Several were proving quite challenging—for instance, becoming Tsunade’s disciple, or ensuring Mizuki landed in prison.
The most immediate task on his radar was the upcoming monthly exam, where he needed Naruto to place in the top ten.
Other goals, like helping Hinata awaken her Byakugan or guiding Sasuke to mas...

It was Friday morning, and the sun glinted off the surface of the Ninja academy’s artificial lake, casting rippling reflections like a stage spotlighting a showdown.
A tense atmosphere crackled between Ino and Sakura as they faced each other.
Kitazawa felt like he could practically see sparks flying between their eyes.
“Sakura.”
Ino planted her hands on her hips, chin held high. “Tonight, your homework is going to double!”
“What kind of nonsense is th...

“It shouldn’t be difficult for someone like you to secure funding,” Kitazawa said, watching Tsunade seethe with frustration, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
“And what methods are there for getting funds?” Tsunade demanded, taking a deep breath to calm herself, though her teeth were still clenched.
She’d returned to the village because Hiruzen Sarutobi had promised her virtually unlimited funding. Now, all these rules and restrictions were driving her up the wall.

Tsunade’s arrival instantly captured everyone’s attention.
It was impossible not to stare—her beauty and figure were simply too striking.
Trailing behind her was Shizune, but most of the students hardly noticed her presence at all.
“Huh?” Sakura squinted at Tsunade for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes. “Doesn’t she look familiar to you guys?”
“She looks exactly like that legendary kunoichi,” murmured Shino, adjusting his sunglasses.

“This is the spot.”
Kitazawa came to a halt.
In front of him, cherry blossom trees flanked both sides of the path, their pink petals drifting gently through the air.
He leapt up, landing firmly against the trunk of one tree, both feet gripping the bark.
Spreading his fingers, he channeled chakra through his hand and quickly gathered a small pile of leaves.
Then he released his grip, sending the chakra-infused leaves cascading downward.
“Hinata, catch ...

Kitazawa froze for several seconds, standing still as the flood of new information from the system washed over him.
'As expected of one of the legendary “Five Great Dojutsu” of the shinobi world…' he thought. The Byakugan’s boost to an ordinary ninja’s abilities was truly astonishing.
If he’d been near Jonin level before, he could now genuinely call himself a Jonin. And paired with Gentle Fist techniques, he’d be a proper Jonin in every sense.
Without ...

“Good morning, Kitazawa-sensei!”
Ino greeted him with a bright smile, practically bouncing on her feet.
Standing just behind her was Hinata, half-hidden as usual. She bowed her head slightly and whispered a soft, barely audible greeting. Kitazawa had to strain his ears to catch it.
“I brought a bento today!” Ino announced, proudly holding up a lunchbox. “Please try it, sensei!”
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow in mild surprise as he accepted the box.

“You’re Kitazawa?”
Tsunade eyed him up and down with a faint, mischievous smile. “Not bad. You’re quite handsome.”
“I’m Kitazawa.”
He met her gaze calmly, neither deferential nor arrogant. “It’s an honor to finally meet you, Lady Tsunade.”
“Oh? And how exactly did you know I’m Tsunade?”
She raised a golden eyebrow, curious.
“Blonde ninjas are a rarity,” Kitazawa replied with a small smile. He’d initially wanted to say tha...

“Hyuga Hinata versus Ino Yamanaka.”
Kitazawa’s voice rang out, signaling the start of the next match after the break.
Earlier, Hinata had defeated a classmate who, in truth, had no real presence in the original story. With her skills, it hadn’t even been a contest.
“Hinata.”
Ino gave a sunny smile. “Let’s take it easy, okay?”
She knew perfectly well she wasn’t Hinata’s match, so she felt no pressure, approaching the fight in good spirits.

“Uchiha Sasuke versus Uzumaki Naruto.”
Kitazawa’s voice rang across the training field, instantly silencing the chatter.
All eyes turned toward the two names.
Though Shino had impressed them earlier, his presence had always been quiet, almost forgettable. Sasuke, on the other hand, was the center of attention—cool, talented, and a proud heir to a legendary clan.
“Finally!”
Naruto grinned ear to ear. “I’ve been waiting forever to fight you, S...

Ninja Academy Training Ground
The sun shone down on the training field as the students of Class 1A rolled up their sleeves, brimming with anticipation for the special training ahead.
Ino cast a glance at Sakura, who—as usual—was following Sasuke like a loyal retinue.
Despite having trained under Kitazawa recently, Ino hadn’t had enough time yet to fully reap the benefits. Just yesterday, she’d lost to Sakura again during their water-walking ...

“I could cancel the rules so you don’t have to do homework anymore.”
Kitazawa looked into Ino's bright blue eyes, then shifted the topic with a knowing smile. “But… would you really be satisfied with that?”
“No, I wouldn’t!”
Ino blinked, stunned for a second—then her expression hardened into fierce determination. “I have to make Sakura taste my pain!”
Typical best friends/rivals.
Kitazawa couldn’t help chuckling inwardly. Of cou...

A new week dawned over Konoha, and Class 1A gathered for their practical training session.
Kitazawa balanced lightly on the branch of a cherry blossom tree, his fingers flicking in rapid succession.
Each flick launched a leaf, sharp as a kunai, whizzing through the air.
Charged with chakra, the leaves sliced forward at blistering speed, crossing the three-meter gap in the blink of an eye.
Just as one was about to fly past, a small, delicate hand shot out and snatched i...

“You’ve been hiding quite the secret, haven’t you?” Kurenai teased, nudging Kitazawa with her elbow as she stepped closer. “If we hadn’t sparred today, I’d never have guessed you were this strong.”
“I wasn’t deliberately keeping it from you,” Kitazawa replied, glancing down at her arm. “You just never asked.”
“Oh? So now it’s my fault?” Kurenai shot him an exaggerated eye roll.

Kitazawa followed the ANBU ninja Haru to the village’s Ninjutsu Archive.
After thinking it over briefly, he selected his three jutsu.
They were: Water Release: Water Bullet Jutsu, Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu, and Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, all jutsu that the System has already provided.
For most shinobi, there are three categories of jutsu that are notoriously difficult to obtain.
The first are

Kitazawa couldn’t help smiling as he listened to the excited chatter in the classroom.
At this point, Hyuga Neji had practically become some kind of terrifying demon king in their imaginations.
Then again, he couldn’t blame them.
Neji’s reputation absolutely preceded him.
“All right, listen up. I’m going to announce the rules for the friendly match.”
Kitazawa clapped his hands. Once the class quieted down, he explained all four events they’d be comp...

It was the second week of May.
Kitazawa arrived at the Ninja Academy, a bag of freshly bought breakfast swinging from his hand.
As expected, Hinata was already waiting for him in his office, sitting primly with her hands folded in her lap.
“Eat.”
Kitazawa set the breakfast items on the coffee table one by one.
“Kitazawa-sensei…”
Hinata took a small sip of milk, then let a shy smile slip across her face. “I sparred with Father yesterday.”

As they walked along, Kitazawa asked, “Do you want to head home, or keep training?”
“I…”
Hinata opened her mouth to reply—but was abruptly cut off by an explosion of voices.

Three voices shouted in unison, breathless but perfectly synchronized.
Hinata turned her head instinctively.
Three figures in identical green jumpsuits came trotting into view.
“Is that… Naruto?”
Hinata blinked...

Sunday morning
Kitazawa stumbled out of bed, still half-asleep, and automatically shuffled toward the bathroom.
But after a few steps, his eyes flew open, and he was suddenly wide awake.
Standing in front of him was Kurenai Yuhi.
In a rush, memories of last night came back. Just like the previous weekend, they’d stayed up late working together on Yakumo's new genjutsu—the Truth Extraction Jutsu.
“Good morning, Kitazawa.”

Kitazawa stopped in his tracks.
If it had been an ordinary second-year class, he would have agreed without hesitation.
After all, his class was overflowing with talent—each of the future Konoha Twelve Rookies had the potential to challenge upperclassmen.
But Mizuki's class wasn’t ordinary.
It had Hyuga Neji.
In the original timeline, Neji had been the strongest of the Konoha Twelve in the early stages. Even when Naruto finally defeated him in the Chunin Exams...

Hinata paced nervously, clutching her speech manuscript. Her small face was pale, her eyes filled with anxiety.
She only stopped when the office door creaked open, and Kitazawa stepped inside.
“Feeling nervous?” Kitazawa asked gently, walking over and giving her hair a light pat.
“Yes…” Hinata admitted, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Over the past few weeks, Kitazawa had given her special training, ...

Fueled by the thought of Kitazawa’s promised reward, Naruto threw himself into his homework as soon as he got home.
But soon enough, his face scrunched up in agony.
'A person can do anything when they’re fired up… except math problems.'
Naruto scratched his head, utterly baffled.
Why did ninjas have to study so many subjects? Wouldn’t it be enough just to beat up the bad guys?

A familiar voice called out.

Kitazawa watched for a while, then gave a slight nod of approval.
Sasuke truly lived up to his legacy as one of the original protagonists—his talent was undeniable.
He had already begun to grasp the fundamentals of chakra nature transformation. It was only a matter of time before he succeeded.
Forming a string of hand signs, Kitazawa created a Shadow Clone.
The clone remained behind to supervise Sasuke’s training, while his original body returned to the school offi...

He unfurled a storage summoning scroll and began pulling out the breakfast he’d bought, placing items one by one on the table.

Kurenai might have a bold personality—but clearly, even she had her limits.

Turning away, he headed back into the living room and settled on the sofa.
His mind shifted to the next training plans for his students.

Kitazawa wasn’t sure if Kakashi was struggling right now—but personally, he was in quite a good mood.
From his vantage point, he watched as Kurenai leaned forward over the coffee table. Her pale arms rested on the surface, and the crimson fabric of her dress stretched taut across her figure, outlining her curves.
At this close distance, he caught a subtle, pleasant fragrance lingering in the air. He couldn’t tell whether it was her natural scent or simply her shampoo—but e...

Kitazawa returned home and sank onto his sofa, pulling out the ninjutsu scroll he’d received as a reward from Hiruzen Sarutobi: the B-rank Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet.
'How should I put it…?'
Although it was indeed a Wind Release jutsu, the details recorded on this scroll were nowhere near as precise or thorough as the version he’d gotten from the system.
In short, there wasn’t much worth getting excited about.
The sun set and rose again, ushering in a...

Sasuke is sealed inside. There’s no doubt.

In the Hyuga Clan, rules and decorum were paramount; if she had barged in running, she’d surely have been scolded.

At the very least, he was sure of one thing: Hiruzen wasn’t about to call forth Enma and smack him with a “six strikes in one second” punishment. He hadn’t done anything wrong—on the contrary, he suspected this might even be about a reward.
Perhaps the summons was tied to the results of the monthly exam.
