“Kitazawa, long time no see.”
Kurenai Yuhi, her long, graceful legs wrapped in white bandages, walked up to Kitazawa.
“Not that long, we just saw each other last week.”
Kitazawa’s gaze fell on the bandages on her hands.
In his previous life, he had always been curious why Kurenai Yuhi wrapped bandages around her thighs and hands.
“Kitazawa, I need your help with something.”
A smile appeared on Kurenai Yuhi’s fair face as she spoke.
Kitazawa was a bit surprised.
Although Kurenai Yuhi was a Chunin like him, there was still a gap between Chunin.
Because she possessed a family Ninjutsu.
Her father was Shinku Yuhi, one of Konoha Village’s rare Illusion Jonin.
If Kurenai Yuhi was at the peak of Chunin, half a step to Jonin, then Kitazawa was an early-stage Chunin.
“I recently became a private tutor.”
Kurenai Yuhi said with a troubled tone, “But this student is very disobedient, so I wanted to ask for your advice.”
Kitazawa pondered upon hearing this.
In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi was the squad leader for Hyuga Hinata, Shino Aburame, and Inuzuka Kiba.
But she also had another student named Yakumo Kurama.
She possessed a special Illusion Bloodline Limit that could turn illusions into reality.
Illusions belong to Yin Release, and the excessive power of Yin Release often caused problems with her body.
For safety reasons, her parents did not let her study at the Ninja Academy, but instead hired Kurenai Yuhi as her private tutor.
However, she was obsessed with becoming a Ninja.
After being rejected repeatedly, a Yin Release monster named Ido was born in her heart, and in her uncontrolled state, she killed her parents.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi realized the danger of Yakumo Kurama and ordered Kurenai Yuhi to suppress the monster within her.
“You’ve been rated the Ninja Academy’s best teacher for three consecutive years.”
Kurenai Yuhi clapped her hands, leaned forward slightly, and said, “Please, old classmate!”
Just as Kitazawa was about to speak, a blue light screen appeared before his eyes.
Current Mission: Help classmate Yakumo Kurama return to the Ninja Academy.
Mission Reward: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.
Do you accept?
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow; could this actually trigger a mission?
However, there was no harm in having more missions, so he chose to accept.
“No problem.”
Kitazawa agreed, “I’m quite confident in teaching students.”
“Thank you, with your help, I feel much more at ease.”
Kurenai Yuhi patted her chest and said.
“Come find me after school tomorrow.”
Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll share some teaching experience with you then.”
“Mhm.”
Kurenai Yuhi nodded, smiled brightly, and said, “I’ll treat you to drinks tomorrow night.”
“Alright.”
Kitazawa said without politeness, “We won’t go home until we’re drunk.”
“Since we were kids, you’ve never out-drank me. I’ll probably be the one taking you home again.”
Kurenai Yuhi said with a smug look.
“The past is the past, and now is now.”
Kitazawa retorted stubbornly.
“Then I look forward to your performance.”
Kurenai Yuhi reached out and playfully punched him, saying, “I’m off. See you tomorrow.”
Kitazawa watched her leave and couldn't help but shake his head.
He and Kurenai Yuhi were childhood friends, having been in the same class since they were six years old, and now they had known each other for fifteen years.
Besides her, his classmates also included Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Uchiha Obito, and Rin Nohara, among others.
But most of them died in the Third Great Ninja War, and now the grass on their graves was already three zhang high.
Undoubtedly, Kitazawa was a transmigrator.
After writing ‘Have you ever been a Ninja? Some things are written haphazardly, taken for granted’ in the comment section of a Naruto fanfiction novel called “Undercover in Konoha, Part-time Hokage,” he arrived in Konoha.
Because both of his parents were Chunin of Konoha Village, he was sent to the Ninja Academy to study when he was six years old.
But unfortunately, his talent was mediocre.
He finally managed to graduate and become a Genin at thirteen, only to hear the news of his parents' deaths.
Kitazawa recognized the cruelty of reality.
Shouting about bonds and friendship while charging at Uchiha Madara was something only protagonists could do.
He was cannon fodder among cannon fodder, so he resolutely changed careers to become a teacher.
Before becoming a teacher, he had also participated in a Medical Ninja experimental class founded by Tsunade.
But similarly, he had no potential as a Medical Ninja.
Kitazawa mainly taught fire will and Konoha history at the Ninja Academy.
Building on the fire will, he proposed the theory that ‘the Hokage is the sun, and the Hokage’s kindness can never be fully repaid.’
Because of this, he was selected as the Ninja Academy’s most outstanding teacher for three consecutive years.
Of course, his teaching skills were also good.
Kitazawa pondered for a moment, then, instead of returning to school, he walked north.
With Iruka Umino in charge of registration, he had nothing to worry about.
“System, bring up my character panel.”
Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and silently chanted in his mind.
Name: Kitazawa.
Age: Six years old.
Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Substitution Jutsu, Transformation Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Wind Release: Gale Palm, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
Evaluation: So-called genius is merely your threshold. You are a born Ninja, destined to become the strongest.
Kitazawa rolled his eyes.
He suspected the system was being sarcastic.
A twenty-one-year-old genius Ninja? If word got out, Uchiha would laugh for three days and three nights.
But seeing the age on the panel, he understood that the system was not lying, but rather running its program on a bug.
Kitazawa thought of a saying: If a bug works, don't fix it.
Training ground on the outskirts of Konoha Village.
Kitazawa stopped and formed hand signs.
A large amount of Chakra gathered in his throat, and as he opened his mouth and exhaled, a large fireball with a diameter of five or six meters appeared.
The air twisted, and the terrifying temperature stirred up waves of heat.
With a bang!
The large fireball struck the ground, immediately scorching it black.
“This system is really not bad.”
Kitazawa was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied smile.
The power of a Ninjutsu depends on the user’s Chakra and proficiency.
Kitazawa had seen many Ninja use Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but none had such immense power as his.
It was no exaggeration to say that if he had enough Chakra, he would not be inferior to Uchiha Madara.
This was the sheer value of the system directly maxing out proficiency… Hokage Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi opened a scroll.
The scroll recorded Uzumaki Naruto’s experiences for the day.
When he saw Kitazawa and Uzumaki Naruto interact, he couldn't help but fall into thought.
Soon, he remembered Kitazawa's information.
An unremarkable Chunin, but with unique insights into the fire will.
“He probably doesn’t know Naruto’s true identity.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.
While others feared Uzumaki Naruto like a tiger, Kitazawa treated him fairly, which showed that he truly practiced the fire will.
“I wonder what Naruto will learn.”
A look of anticipation appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face.
