Chapter 6 - Ichiraku Otsutsuki

Iruka Umino slowly exhaled.

After calming myself down, I went into the classroom of Class A, Grade 1.

"Why did you get a different teacher?"

"Does Kitazawa-sensei only teach one class?"

"It's a real shame, I still prefer Kitazawa-sensei's class."

Umino Iruka paused slightly.

Did he win over these students in just one class period?

As expected of Kitazawa-senpai.

Iruka Umino suppressed his admiration and, facing the disappointed looks of many students, walked up to the podium.

What he wants to teach is how to extract chakra.

Chakra is the foundation of becoming a ninja; it is the product of the balanced mixing of spiritual and physical energy.

After class started, Iruka Umino found that the students were all very serious and not as mischievous as he had imagined.

What puzzled him most was their unusual attitude towards Naruto Uzumaki.

Who turned them... no, I mean trained them into this state?

Without a doubt, it's Kitazawa.

"It seems I still have a lot to learn."

Umino Iruka sighed in his heart.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Kitazawa put down the student files in his hand and walked upstairs.

He did not find any children who matched the description.

There is only one truth.

They are not first-year students, but second-year students.

"Kitazawa?"

A sudden sound rang out.

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa turned around and looked at the newcomer.

She was about the same age as him, but had white hair parted in the middle.

"Mizuki."

Kitazawa greeted him with a smile and asked, "Just finished class?"

"yes."

Shui Mu stepped forward and asked, "I heard you took over the first-year class this year. How was it? Any geniuses among them?"

"We don't know yet."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "I only attended classes for half a day."

"But I believe that with your excellent teaching ability, you can definitely teach a genius like Neji."

Shui Mu smiled brightly and said.

What are you babbling about?

If it were someone else, they might be misled by Shuimu.

But Kitazawa knew that in the original work, he was a despicable, cunning, and jealous little black guy.

She is friends with Iruka Umino, but becomes very jealous of his popularity.

In order to complete the mission, he personally killed his wounded comrade.

When Naruto Uzumaki is unable to graduate, he is sent to steal the Book of Seals.

After being imprisoned, he sought refuge with Orochimaru and, relying on the power of the cursed seal, staged a savior-like prison break.

Mizuki mentions that Hyuga Neji is actually just showing off.

Like Itachi Uchiha, Neji Hyuga was renowned as a genius in Konoha from a very young age.

Such a genius is unlikely to be repeated under normal circumstances.

"good."

Kitazawa nodded and said confidently, "I believe my student has that potential."

Shui Mu froze, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

Who gave you the courage to say that?

In the ninja world where talent and lineage matter, the level of a ninja academy instructors at best serves as icing on the cake.

"I have something to do, let's talk next time."

Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked into the large office for second-year students.

The door was closed.

"You're so great, so arrogant! One day, I'll steal the title of best teacher!"

Mizuki immediately put on the mask of pain, his entire face contorted in pain.

Kitazawa was his classmate; they both entered the ninja academy to teach at the same time.

But five years later, their circumstances have changed dramatically.

Kitazawa has been promoted and given a raise, and is the best teacher every year.

But he remained just an ordinary teacher.

Shui Mu felt a stinging sensation in his eyes. There were lemons on the lemon tree, and only he was under the lemon tree.

Kitazawa greeted the second-grade teachers and then began looking at the student files.

As for Shuimu, he didn't care.

I just got this system, can I stand this injustice?

Half an hour later, Kitazawa was holding three sets of student information.

He stared at the photo for a few seconds and finally confirmed that they were the brats Hinata Hyuga had mentioned.

Kitazawa thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

He's a teacher, so it's not appropriate for him to directly reprimand them.

Furthermore, even if a lesson is to be taught, it must be done in front of Hinata Hyuga to maximize its effect.

Well then... let's handle it like a primary school student would.

Kitazawa put down the documents and returned to his office.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The morning classes have ended, and it's time for lunch and a break.

Kitazawa took the note he had written to Class 2-C, stuffed it into the desks of the three mischievous kids, and then left with a flourish.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki rushed over, panting, and said, "I...I want to treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

"What kind of child treats an adult to a meal?"

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's my treat."

"No, it's my treat!"

Naruto Uzumaki pulled out his frog wallet and said firmly, "I have money!"

This is not a lie.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would give him money regularly.

"I want to thank Kitazawa-sensei."

Naruto Uzumaki added.

Although he was a child, he wasn't stupid. He knew that Kitazawa had helped him many times.

"Alright then."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "You treat me this time, I'll treat you next time."

The two walked towards the school gate.

Ichiraku Ramen.

"The hand-beating uncle!"

Naruto Uzumaki called out with practiced ease.

"Naruto, you... Kitazawa? How did you two end up together?"

He lifted the curtain and came out, asking in surprise.

"Uncle, do you know Kitazawa-sensei?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked surprised and asked.

"How could I not recognize you?"

With a chuckle, Tetsuya said, "Kitazawa is my neighbor."

"What?"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened.

"I own the grocery store next door."

Kitazawa pointed to the left and said, "But I only open it at night, so you wouldn't know."

If you ask which place in Konoha Village is the safest,

Many Naruto fans will mention Ichiraku Ramen.

After his parents died, Kitazawa bought a house nearby, renovated it, and started selling odds and ends.

This is what is meant by "better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."

Anyway, trying won't kill you.

"Naruto, you've become Kitazawa's student?"

Shouda realized what was happening and said, "Then you're lucky. Kitazawa has been named the best teacher for three consecutive years."

"yes!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded in agreement and said, "Kitazawa-sensei is amazing!"

What would you two like to eat?

He asked with a smile.

"I want char siu pork rib ramen!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately said.

Tonkotsu ramen.

Kitazawa glanced at the menu and said.

Not long after, two bowls of ramen were served.

"I'm starting!"

Naruto clapped his hands excitedly and picked up his chopsticks.

Kitazawa could tell that he really liked ramen.

After lunch, the two went back to school.

"See you this afternoon, Kitazawa-sensei."

Naruto Uzumaki ran to the classroom.

Kitazawa returned to his office.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Iruka Umino knocked on the door and came in.

Aren't you going to take a nap?

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked.

"There's something I want to discuss with you."

Umino Iruka stated directly, "Class 1-A needs to elect a class monitor to assist us, such as collecting homework."

[Current Task: Become the class monitor of Class A, Grade 1.]

[Quest Reward: Water Attribute.]

Do you accept?

Kitazawa twitched the corner of his mouth.

I can't breathe, bro.

What kind of ridiculous task is this? I think you're trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger.
