Two days slipped by in a blur, with Sasuke spending most of them getting pummeled.
The beatings were so severe that now, whenever he laid eyes on Naruto, his fists itched to strike. Sasuke even dreamed of Naruto’s smug face every night—though he couldn’t quite tell if it was truly Naruto… or Kitazawa disguised as him.
By Wednesday, however, Sasuke finally managed to catch a ...

“Kitazawa-sensei, until next time.”
Mikoto stood at the doorway, her calm eyes following Kitazawa’s retreating back.
“Aunt Mikoto…”
Izumi finally broke her silence. “I already have a squad leader and teammates.”
“I know.”
Mikoto withdrew her gaze and turned toward her niece.
“Then why agree to Kitazawa-sensei?” Izumi asked, startled by...

Before Kitazawa could finish processing the Body Substitution Jutsu, a commotion broke out.
“Kitazawa-sensei!”
Shibi Aburame rushed over, his voice low and urgent. “Someone’s been infected by an explosive bug!”
Kitazawa’s expression hardened instantly. “Take me there.”
“This way.” Shibi raised his hand, leading him forward.
Soon, Kitazawa found ...

The practical test finally came to an end.
Sasuke walked out of the Ninja Academy, his expression dark and brooding.
Losing to Uzumaki Naruto was painful, yes—but not something that broke him. Deep down, he was convinced that given another chance, he could turn the tables. Victory was always just within reach.
But his battle against Yakumo was different. That fight hadn’t ...

Eight o’clock in the evening.
Tsunade’s lesson on Super Strength finally came to an end.
Dragging his worn-out body, Kitazawa stumbled into Kurenai's home. Without a word, he collapsed onto the sofa, utterly drained—he didn’t even want to lift a single pinky finger.
Super Strength wasn’t just physically exhausting—it burned through mental energy too. Even with his ...

Drawing lots was nothing new for the students of both classes.
Every monthly assessment involved drawing for practical matchups, so without Kitazawa needing to say a word, the students lined up and approached one by one to draw their numbers.
“I got number twenty-seven.”
Naruto Uzumaki announced it proudly, immediately looking around with an impatient grin. “So, who’s ...

The third week of November, Monday
Konoha Village was unusually restless. Word had spread—at least among the upper echelons—that Lady Tsunade had stormed the Root base and forced Danzo Shimura to dissolve most of his subordinates.
To most villagers, however, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. For them, Konoha remained the same peaceful village bathed i...

The Aburame Clan’s compound.
Shibi sat in silence, his teacup trembling faintly in his hand before he set it down again. His mind was restless.
“I wonder how things are unfolding now…” he muttered, worry etched across his usually stoic face.
Only ten minutes earlier, he had received troubling news—Tsunade had marched out of the Hokage Buildi...

"Lady Tsunade."
Haru bowed slightly before speaking. “We’ve located Torune Aburame—he’s being held in a Root training base inside the Forest of Death.”
Every member of Root was forced to undergo its brutal training and relentless brainwashing.
And Torune… he was still just a child.
Like Shino, he was only seven years old.

Kurenai’s house
Kitazawa slid the key into the lock, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
The first thing he saw upon entering the living room was Kurenai herself, leaning slightly over the coffee table. Her hands pressed against a blank scroll, her beautiful face focused in deep concentration.
Kitazawa arched a brow.
From his angle, the ...

Shibi and Shino didn’t linger for long.
Kitazawa had already said everything that needed to be said—their visit was simple: to express gratitude.
“Kitazawa-sensei, please accept this small gift as a token of our appreciation,” Shibi said, handing over a scroll.
“Thank you.”
After a brief pause, Kitazawa accepted. He knew that only by taking the gift would the...

Kitazawa smiled lightly. "As long as it doesn’t interfere with your theoretical studies, I welcome your participation anytime."

"First, you’ll need to better your Chakra control with tree climbing and water walking p...

Kitazawa stepped into the Hokage’s office after receiving permission.

As soon as Naruto and Neji arrived at the training ground, they spotted Sasuke already in the thick of training.
His Sharingan gleamed crimson as he hopped in place, occasionally letting out a muffled grunt—the sound of someone struck by a kunai.
These weren’t ordinary leaves. Infused with Wind Release chakra, they carried the speed and impact of thrown kunai.
Of course, K...

Kitazawa couldn’t help but smile as he watched Sasuke slowly regain his fighting spirit.
At the end of the day, Sasuke was still just a boy—straightforward in his emotions, and easy enough to read, perhaps even to manipulate.
But what stood out most was how deeply the Sharingan was tied to his pride.
Still… was the jump from one to two tomoe really that drastic?

The second round ended before anyone realized it.
Aside from Sasuke and Naruto, Kitazawa hadn’t interfered with the results—because there was no need.
Unlike the Chunin Exams, losing here didn’t mean elimination. Advancement depended on accumulated points, not a single victory. As long as your overall strength was solid, the third round was within reach.
And indeed, that...

Kitazawa’s hands blurred through seals. A torrent of chakra surged from his lungs, exploding into a violent gale.

Invisible currents sharpened into reality—countless blades of air, thin and deadly, carrying an edge that seemed to sting the skin just by looking at them.

Monday noon, Ninja Academy conference room
The probationary Student Council gathered for its second meeting.
“You all did well,” Kitazawa said approvingly after reviewing the weekly report that Sasuke had submitted.
The Will of Fire Club’s recruitment drive had been a resounding success. Practically every student in the academy had joined.

After lunch, Kitazawa and Sakura made their way to Konoha Hospital.
Luck was on his side today.
Barely after settling into his office, a message arrived from Nono: an Anbu had been gravely wounded and required immediate surgery.

But the mission was far fr...

Kitazawa returned to the 1A classroom after the meeting.
Karin was already chatting with Ino and Naruto, and from the looks of it, they had quickly become friends.
Kitazawa wasn’t surprised. What kind of malicious intent could a bunch of six- or seven-year-old kids really have? Besides, Karin wasn’t like Hinata, who struggled with shyness; her personality was closer to Tsunade...

He didn’t need to ask. The vibrant red hair, the vast, almost tangible chakra—they could...

The moment Kusagakure’s leader, Morimoto Shin, heard the young ninja relay Kitazawa’s words, his face twisted in fury.

Silence. No response.

Suspicion flickered in his eyes.
'Is she… pretending?'
After a brief hesitation, he bent down and scooped Tsu...

Telling Naruto about the Nine-Tails wouldn’t be difficult.
The problem was… Kitazawa, by all rights, shouldn’t even talk about it to anyone as per the Hokage's orders.
Sure, he could pull Naruto aside, tell him in private, and the idiotic system would no doubt count it as a completed task and hand him a reward.
But Naruto—being the Nine-Tails’ vessel—was always und...
