After the physical fitness test, all the students of First Year Class A were sprawled on the ground, panting and utterly unconcerned about appearances.
Yet all eyes were fixed on Kitazawa and Iruka, who stood nearby preparing to announce the rankings live.
“I wonder how many points I got…”
Sakura sneaked a glance at the calm, cool Sasuke and broke into a dreamy smile. ...

Naruto waved triumphantly, spun around once for good measure, and jogged back to join the queue.
Kitazawa couldn’t help smiling.
He was reminded of fishermen back in his previous life, who’d strut around bragging after catching a giant fish.
He picked up his pen and marked down a score of eighty points on the roster.
Naruto’s performance was extrao...

A new day dawned.
Kitazawa arrived early at the Ninja Academy.
The training ground, usually quiet at this hour, was already lively with students stretching and warming up.
“Kitazawa!”
Mizuki called out, striding toward him.
“Mizuki,” Kitazawa replied with a small nod. “Has Iruka arrived yet?”
“He’s probably still in bed,” Mizuki said with a ...

At eleven o’clock sharp, the bell rang.
“All of you, pens down. Stay seated.”
Kitazawa rose from his chair and announced firmly.
The classroom instantly erupted into a low murmur of groans and frantic whispers.
Luckily, over the past month, Kitazawa had built up enough authority that even students who hadn’t finished their exams reluctantly put their pens aside.<...

After classes ended, Kitazawa left the academy and headed straight for Kurenai’s home.
After knocking and hearing her voice give permission, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.
In the living room, Kurenai and Yakumo sat side by side.
Neither of them wore shoes; their two pairs of pale, delicate feet—one small, one slender and graceful—rested on the wooden floor.<...

April 28th.
There was only one day left until Class 1-A’s first monthly exam.
“Clone Jutsu will be a required skill on the practical exam. I’ve gone over all the key points these past two weeks,” Kitazawa announced, standing on the Ninja Academy’s training field. His voice was calm but carried a sense of urgency. “Today’s your last class befor...

After wrapping up his class, Kitazawa returned to his office.
Trailing behind him were Hinata and Kurama, who had both grown surprisingly comfortable with skipping lessons altogether.
“Yakumo.”
Kitazawa settled into his chair and asked, “How’s your reading going?”
“I’ve finished three books already,” Yakumo Kurama replied calmly.
Perhaps it was due ...

Although people often claimed that Kakashi Hatake was “chakra-deficient,” the truth was more nuanced. As an elite Jōnin, Kakashi’s chakra reserves were by no means small. Even one-tenth of his chakra pool easily surpassed that of an average Chūnin.
And more importantly—if one mission rewarded such a boost, then surely more would follow. Stack those rewards infinitely, and surpas...

Inside Kitazawa’s office, Hinata sneaked a glance at Kurama and felt oddly relieved.
Finally, someone else had joined the truancy club.
She’d always thought her half-day absences were unmatched at the Ninja Academy—but Kurama was on another level entirely, boldly skipping full days and only showing up for practical combat classes.

Sasuke slumped to the ground, his face clouded with frustration.
In less than two weeks, he’d lost his first-place spot in physical training.
His goal upon entering the Ninja Academy had always been clear: follow in Itachi’s footsteps, dominate the academy in a single year, and graduate at the top.
Yet now… it felt like his ambitions had collapsed before they’d even be...

“As long as you’re happy,” Kitazawa said with a resigned smile.
Naruto and Gai already knew each other, so there was no reason for him to intervene. Besides, Kitazawa hadn’t technically done anything wrong, so Hiruzen likely wouldn’t come knocking on his door over it.
'As for Minato Namikaze…' Kitazawa thought wryly. 'Well, I wish him luck. Hopefully, he’l...

Kitazawa snapped out of his thoughts and noticed that Ino and Hinata had paused their training.
They couldn’t help it—Uchiha Sasuke was laughing so loudly that it echoed across the training field.
Both girls stared in confusion, expressions practically screaming “Sasuke, what on earth are you laughing about?”
“Don’t mind him,” Kitazawa said, clearing his...

Hyuga Hinata wandered aimlessly down the street, lost in thought.
When Kitazawa was by her side, skipping class felt easy—she simply followed his lead. But now, alone, she didn’t quite know what to do with herself.
After a few minutes of hesitant steps, an idea sparked in her mind, and she turned back toward a small grove she knew well.
This time, fear didn’t grip her he...

“Your idea is quite promising.”
Hiruzen fell silent for a few moments, stroking his beard as he pondered. “Although it’s a difficult path, the possibilities are enormous.”
The concept of a Psychological Medical Ninja was uncharted territory.
The biggest challenge was the complete absence of any existing psychological ninjutsu. Yakumo Kurama would have to pioneer new ...

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei," Yakumo said as she stood and bowed deeply.
The gloom that once clouded her eyes had vanished, replaced by a blazing determination that lit up her entire expression.

"Really?" Yakumo froze for a moment, stunne...

“Did I wake you?” Kitazawa asked, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“No, I was just about to have breakfast,” Kurenai replied with a gentle shake of her head. “Have you eaten? If not, I can whip up some scrambled eggs for you.”

After lunch, Hinata returned to the classroom for her afternoon nap.
Meanwhile, the rest of the students sat sprawled across the training field, utterly exhausted and far too tired to care about their image.
Kitazawa gazed at them, momentarily recalling the physical fitness tests from his own university days in his previous life.
Back then, running a thousand meters had felt l...

The moment Kitazawa stepped into the staff office, he found an unexpected visitor waiting for him.

Ino stepped forward, voice sweet as she tried to greet him.
But Sasuke didn’t spare her a single glance. He focused completely on channeling chakra into his feet, maintaining his balance against the tree trunk.

At that moment, Hinata...

Gai stood and gave Kitazawa a thumbs-up. “Kitazawa, if you ever want to keep training in Taijutsu, you know where to find me.”
“Of course,” Kitazawa replied with an easy smile.

Gai grinned and turned to leave.

Two figures blurred and clashed in rapid motion, so fast their silhouettes were barely distinguishable.

But now, he stood still, content...

Wednesday dawned bright and clear.
Kitazawa changed into fresh clothes and headed next door to Ichiraku Ramen for breakfast.
As he ate, he mentally reviewed his current missions.
Since gaining his system, he’d triggered eight in total.
Now, only three remained unfinished—linked to Yakumo Kurama, Hinata Hyuga, and Sasuke Uchiha.
Of those, helping Yakumo return t...

Everything was spinning, and all she could feel was an overwhelming warmth and a soothing sense of peace.

A muffled thud echoed across the training ground.
Once again, Sasuke tumbled from the tree, landing hard on the ground.

Despite being bruised and battered, Sasuke didn’t utter a single complaint.

There was no homework assigned for practical comba...

Kitazawa returned to his office.
After settling into his chair, he pulled out Class 1-A’s schedule and studied it carefully.
As the homeroom teacher, he didn’t have quite as many classes as Iruka Umino, but each of his lessons carried significant weight.
He taught three subjects: Will of Fire, Konoha History, and Combat Drills

A sensei competing with his own students for class monitor? What kind of twisted system was this?
