XX-level Hokage

When Mashiro woke up and saw Hinata by the bedside, she quickly got dressed. The two of them went out of the room together, where Hiashi was already waiting in the yard.

On the way to the ninja academy, Hiashi told Mashiro a lot of things.

Since the Ninja Academy had been open for quite some time, Mashiro was enrolled as a transfer student in Hinata's class, but strictly speaking, Mashiro should have been in the same year as Neji.

Iruka had been waiting at the school gate for a long time. Yesterday, the Third Hokage had informed him that the Hyuga clan's young lady would be transferring to the school.

Moreover, it just so happens that she is in his class. He had heard about Hyuga Mashiro before. Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family is physically weak and has a rather withdrawn personality, staying at home all year round. Considering Hinata's timid personality, Iruka felt that he should pay more attention to Hyuga Mashiro next.

Upon arriving at the school gate and seeing Iruka waiting there, Hiashi told Ida to go to class first, then took Mashiro and walked over. "This is your teacher, Umino Iruka. Mashiro, say hello to Teacher Iruka," Hiashi said, holding Mashiro's hand.

"Hello, Iruka-sensei, I'm Hinata Mashiro. I'll be relying on you for the next few days," Mashiro said to Iruka with a smile.

Seeing Mashiro smiling at him, Iruka was a little surprised. Mashiro was perfectly normal and well-behaved; the rumors were indeed just rumors. Iruka extended his hand to Mashiro and smiled in response, "Hello, Mashiro-chan. Let's get along well from now on."

“Okay, Iruka-sensei,” Mashiro smiled and shook Iruka’s hand. “Iruka’s affection +20, reward: Mastery of the Three Bodies Technique.”

In Mashiro's view, a loaf of bread appeared beside Iruka. [Name: Umino Iruka]

Gender: Male Age: 24 Favorability: 50 Relationship: Teacher-Student

Favorability Reward (50): Mastery of the Three Bodies Technique (Already Obtained)

Favorability Reward (90): Advanced Three-Body Technique Mastery (Not yet obtained)

Sensing the changes in her body, Mashiro put away the panel and continued to smile subtly. At this moment, Hiashi had finished his conversation with Iruka.

"Then I'll leave Mashiro and Hinata to you, Iruka-sensei."

"You're welcome, Lord Hiashi. I will take good care of Mashiro and Hinata." Then Hiashi turned and left, and Iruka carried Mashiro towards the classroom.

At this moment, in Iruka's class, since class had already started but Iruka had not yet arrived, the students began to get lively.

Kiba and Naruto continued arguing about who would become Hokage. Shikamaru lay slumped over the table, seemingly asleep. Choji pulled out some snacks from somewhere.

Namino secretly sat down next to Sasuke and started swooning over him. Sakura noticed and quickly moved to Sasuke's other side. The two started arguing, completely ignoring Sasuke's increasingly dark expression. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Sasuke yelled at them to get away from him.

Then Naruto heard this and shouted, "Don't yell at Sasuke!" before lunging at him. The two then started arguing, creating chaos in the classroom.

With a loud thud, the classroom door was flung open, and Iruka, his face dark with anger, strode in. The classroom fell silent instantly, and all the students returned to their seats.

Iruka was showing Mashiro around the school when they arrived at the classroom door. He was about to praise his class's discipline when a series of noises suddenly came from inside.

That makes sense, considering this class is full of problem children. Thinking of Naruto and Shikamaru, Iruka's anger subsided. "Ima-seki, we have a new student. Let's give him a round of applause," Iruka said, tapping the blackboard.

Aside from Sasuke, the students were quite respectful to Iruka, and applause quickly broke out. Iruka waved towards the door and said, "Mashiro-chan, you can come over."

Having observed for a long time, Mashiro slowly walked into the classroom and stood on the podium.

Upon seeing Mashiro, Kiba, Hinata's deskmate, asked Vito, "Is she from your Hyuga clan?" Hinata nodded and said, "She's my older sister."

Sakura was stunned by Mashiro's beauty when she saw her enter. Although she still greeted her in a very friendly manner, her inner personality was already angry that a girl cuter than herself had come to the class.

Although Mashiro and Hinata look very similar, they are actually two different styles. Hinata is the subtle and enduring type; you might not notice her beauty at first, but you'll find her more and more beautiful as you get to know her. Mashiro, on the other hand, is the bright and striking type; she makes a lasting impression at first glance.

Sasuke looked into Mashiro's pure white eyes and murmured, "The Hyuga clan, huh? Hmph."

Looking at the main characters below the stage, Mashiro curved the corners of her mouth and then revealed a very bright smile, saying, "Hello everyone, my name is Hinata Mashiro, and I am Hinata's older sister. I missed school due to illness before, so please take good care of me from now on."

Then he picked up the chalk and wrote the four characters "Hinata Mashiro" on the blackboard.

Next, it was time to assign seats to Mashiro. Iruka looked at the remaining seats in the classroom, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Kiba, you go sit next to Shino. Mashiro, you sit next to Hinata."

Kiba only complained verbally about Iruka's arrangement before packing his things and sitting down next to Shino.

Mashiro then walked towards Hinata's side. As she passed Kiba's new spot, Mashiro paused and said to Kiba, "Thank you, Inuya-kun."

Looking at the bright smile on Mashiro's face, Ya blushed slightly, then turned her head away and said, "It's nothing."

Then Mashiro sat down next to Yu, and Iruka officially began the lesson. Mashiro looked at the blackboard attentively, but her mind was elsewhere. [Name: Naruto Uzumaki]

Gender: Male Age: 5 Affection Level: 30 Relationship: Classmate

Affection Reward (50): Chakra Amplification Affection Reward (90): Yang Attribute Chakra [Name: Uchiha Sasuke]

Gender: Male Age: 5 Affection Level: 10 Relationship: Classmate

Affection Reward (50): Mastery of Fire Ninjutsu, Mastery of Illusion Technique

Affection Reward (90): Yin Attribute Chakra) [Name: Inuyagi]

Gender: Male Age: 5 Affection Level: 35 Relationship: Classmate

Favorability Bonus (50): Enhancement of olfactory, auditory, and visual senses.

Affection (90): Increased potential of summoned beasts

As expected? The system's basic ability is to grant the original character talents or abilities based on the main character's favorability, even if the original character did not possess these abilities.

Of course, this is not easy. A favorability rating of 20 is roughly equivalent to that of a stranger, 30 is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary friend or classmate, 50 is considered a good friend, 70 is the level of a close friend, and 90 is the favorability rating that can only be achieved by a confidant, a relative, a lover, or a savior.

The truly useful and powerful rewards are concentrated in the rewards for reaching 90 favorability points. Therefore, after the system goes into hibernation and loses its system rewards and shop rewards, it's generally very difficult for ordinary players to obtain powerful rewards.

But Mashiro was different. In his past life, the reason he was able to manipulate everyone wasn't because of his strength, but more so because of...

His manipulation of everyone's psychology and personality.

As she thought about this, Mashiro's gaze became long and drawn out. Whether it was deception, coercion, or genuine love, there were many female ninjas who had relationships with Mashiro in her past life, but the one Mashiro liked the most was Kurenai Yuhi. Although it was only a physical liking, she still remembered what Kurenai said to her that day.

"Zero, you've manipulated everyone, using lies and threats to force all those who oppose you to bleed, but have you ever thought about how you'll face the wrath when all your lies are exposed?"

Mashiro actually had the answer to this all along, but she never told Kurenai.

"As long as you become powerful enough that no one can resist you before the lie is exposed, then the lie can become reality."

Zero in his previous life was limited by his talent. He was not a reincarnation of a sage, did not have the Rinnegan, and did not have Sage Mode. Relying on the Mangekyou Sharingan and forbidden techniques, as well as Orochimaru's research, he could only barely fight to a draw with either Naruto or Sasuke in the final battle. After Orochimaru betrayed him, he was instantly defeated.

But this life's Mashiro is different. With the system's blessing, she'll break through her talent limitations, and then no one will be able to stop her coronation. Coming to her senses, Mashiro realized someone was indeed watching her. Following the gaze, she saw Naruto secretly watching her. Upon noticing Mashiro looking over...

Afterwards, Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, to which Mashiro smiled gently.

My first target is you, Naruto Uzumaki.

Chapter 3: Naruto, want a drink?

get out of class ended quickly, and Iruka approached Mashiro, asking, "How was it, Mashiro-chan? Could you keep up?" Mashiro smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Iruka-sensei. I studied the theory at home, so I'm managing to keep up." (Iruka's favorability +5)

"Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand," Iruka said with satisfaction. Mashiro nodded gently.

In the following classes, Shinji didn't interact with anyone except Hinata, which disappointed Naruto, who had been secretly watching him. Soon it was the last class, and after running around outside, Naruto returned to his seat to find a note in his drawer. Naruto scratched his head...

Somewhat puzzled, he opened the note.

"Can I stay a little later after school? I have something I want to tell Naruto-kun. — Mashiro"

After Naruto finished speaking, he turned to look at Mashiro, who was chatting with Yuuyu. Mashiro seemed to notice the light behind her and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.

Naruto stuffed the note into his pocket and lay down on the table.

The last class ended quickly, and with the ringing of the bell, it was time to go home.

"Hinata, why don't you wait for me at the school gate for a while? I need to talk to Iruka-sensei about something."

"Okay, Onee-sama." Hinata nodded and left. Soon, only Naruto and Mashiro remained in the large classroom.

After a while, Mashiro stood up, beckoned to Naruto who had been observing her for a long time, and then walked out of the classroom. Naruto followed her out immediately. On the playground, Mashiro sat on a bench, while Naruto stood awkwardly to the side.

Mashiro patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Naruto to sit down. After hesitating for a moment, Naruto stiffly sat down.

"I heard Hinata say that Naruto once protected her when someone bullied her, so I thank Naruto on her behalf and on my own behalf," Mashiro said gently.

“It’s what I should do. Those bastards only know how to bully lone kids,” Naruto said.

"Also, I think I've seen Naruto before. When I saw him at school today, he looked very familiar," Mashiro said, looking into Naruto's eyes.

Naruto dodged Mashiro's gaze, his eyes darting around as he said, "Is that so? Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a teacher." "Perhaps, but Naruto-kun is indeed a teacher," Mashiro said casually.

Naruto's face flushed instantly as he met Mashiro's eyes. Mashiro's eyes were pure white, without a trace of impurity. Naruto's attention was constantly drawn to the pure white, and he became completely captivated.

At this moment, from Mashiro's chest, the tip of her Sharingan began to rotate.

Mashiro appeared in a dark, damp, and smoky place. Directly in front of her was a huge door, inside which was a massive, evil fox with fur that looked like it was on fire—the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nine-Tails looked at the little girl who appeared in front of it and slowly moved its body.

"How did this brat from the Hyuga family end up here?" Kurama's blood-red eyes were fixed on Mashiro.

Looking at Kurama's appearance, Mashiro showed no fear and said softly, "We will meet again, Kurama."

Upon hearing Mashiro's address, Kurama instantly went berserk, its crimson chakra spreading through the cracks in the cage. "How do you know that name, brat?"

But Mashiro had already disappeared from the spot. "Naruto, Naruto."

Naruto snapped out of his daze at Mashiro's call, feeling a strange dizziness. "I'm fine," Naruto said, shaking his head.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Naruto, you should go home early too." Mashiro said, getting up from the bench. Naruto didn't reply.

Mashiro pulled a bottle of milk from her pocket and waved it in front of Naruto. "Naruto, would you like some of my milk?"

"Huh? What are you saying?" Naruto said, blushing.

People in the Naruto world generally mature earlier.

After successfully teasing Naruto, Mashiro placed the milk on the bench. "Naruto, milk tastes better fresh."

Then Mashiro left, leaving Naruto staring blankly at the bottle of milk.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage, monitoring Naruto in his office, observed their interaction and softly asked, "Hyuga?" (Naruto's favorability increased by 20; reward: Chakra Boost.)

When Hinata arrived at the school gate, the Hyuga family servants had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Hinata." "It's alright, Onee-sama." "Greetings, Young Lady."

Hinata Haruha, who was in charge of taking Hinata and Mashiro to school, greeted Mashiro.

Mashiro pulled Hinata's hand, while Haruha followed closely behind. They quickly returned to the Hyuga clan's territory. Mashiro lay on the bed, her mind replaying everything that had happened that day.

Naruto had always known Mashiro, but he knew Mashiro from the Li Mo era. The newly returned "Mashiro" naturally wanted to build a good relationship with the protagonist while completing the system's tasks. However, at that time, the Uchiha clan had not yet been wiped out, so "Mashiro" had very few opportunities to come into contact with Sasuke. Therefore, "Mashiro" cared a lot about Naruto.

The two had a good relationship. "Mashiro" was one of the few people who were willing to spend time with Naruto at that time. "Mashiro" would often bring Naruto some fresh milk. After "Mashiro" became withdrawn, the two never saw each other again. As a result, Naruto was threatened by some people in the Hyuga clan, who told him not to get close to their young lady.

Therefore, Mashiro specially prepared an extra bottle of milk for breakfast. "Chakra amplification, what a useful ability."
