Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

He couldn't help but reflect: if I keep telling my children "you have to learn to work as a team," will they really learn how to work as a team? I'm afraid it will only have the opposite effect.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Naruto return.

"I'm truly defeated by you."

But then he looked at Sakura, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, and Sasuke, who remained silent.

"So, Sasuke and Sakura, would you two like to become Naruto's partners?"

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously.

I'm willing to pay any price to kill that man, especially since we haven't even figured out how Naruto can become stronger yet.

Sakura felt a strange sense of guilt rising in her heart when she thought of Naruto's words, "Only Shikamaru and Choji are good friends with me," and the way he called her "Haruno Sakura-kun."

"Me too."

Kakashi took in the expressions of the two men and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, from now on, the four of us will form Class Seven."

Then he looked at Naruto and said seriously, "Naruto, I will show you that Team 7 will definitely make you genuinely acknowledge us and consider us your comrades."

Naruto smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for that day to come."

……

After the meeting was dismissed, Kakashi went to the Hokage's office and reported what had just happened to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his pipe and sighed.

"Naruto doesn't even call me grandpa anymore."

Kakashi remained silent and did not offer any explanation for the Third Hokage.

Over the years, he has not been able to meet his teacher's child, and although he still feels guilty because of his past experiences, he still feels guilty.

"I know, you go down first."

After Kakashi left, Danzo Shimura emerged from the darkness.

"Hiruzen, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has gone out of control! Look at what he's saying, there's not a trace of the Will of Fire left in him! The most important thing now is to hand him over to me, and I promise I'll forge him into the sharpest sword in Konoha!"

The Third Hokage simply shook his head.

"No, Naruto is right. The words he spoke are the reason why Master and Lord Hashirama founded Konoha."

"He loved the village, but some people in the village broke his heart."

He breathed a sigh of relief as he said this.

"No wonder Naruto got a perfect score on the Will of Fire. This kid sees things very clearly and has already surpassed us old folks."

Danzo Shimura was dumbfounded, never expecting that Hiruzen Sarutobi would think so highly of Naruto.

"Hiruzen, don't let your guilt towards Minato Namikaze cloud your judgment!"

"If we continue to let him get away with this, one day this evil brat will even steal the Hokage position!"

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette, his expression calm.

"The Hokage position should be filled by someone with the ability. If one day Naruto's talent is indeed sufficient to take on this position, what's wrong with giving it to him? We are all getting old, and the new era belongs to the young."

"You! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

boom!

Chapter 17 Kakashi, Drained Dry

Life after becoming a ninja was not quite what Naruto had imagined.

Every day, I'm either looking for cats or cleaning up trash in the river.

Even the serious Sasuke couldn't help but complain a few times, which drew Sakura Haruno and Naruto's agreement.

Wait a minute, is Kakashi-sensei planning to use this "sharing joys and sorrows" approach to bring the three of them closer together?

This is likely a valid consideration, as people tend to become more united when facing the same enemy.

However, the more important thing is to lay the groundwork for the host's future ninja career and leave a good impression on the villagers of Konoha in advance.

After the system reminded him, Naruto realized it was true.

After a month of completing the tasks, even his reputation improved; at least some people who hadn't heard the rumors about the fox spirit were quite grateful to him.

"But this is too boring. Kakashi-sensei is such a lazybones. Not only is he always late, but he also refuses to teach us ninjutsu. It feels like he's the kind of person who won't teach us ninjutsu unless it's a critical moment."

[In the past, Kakashi Hatake always used completing the mission as an excuse to avoid it. The host can try using shadow clones to complete the mission, and then ask him to teach them.]

"That makes sense! Let's try it today."

When it was time to gather for the mission, Kakashi was late as usual.

"Hey everyone, good morning! I met an elderly lady who needed help on the way here today, so I had to be late."

"Honestly, teacher, can't you even come up with a different excuse?" Sakura Haruno complained.

"Kakashi-sensei, teach us ninjutsu today. Aren't you supposed to know thousands of ninjutsu? Surely there'll be one that suits us," Naruto suggested.

Sasuke and Sakura Haruno also looked at Kakashi expectantly, after all, they were already tired of doing these boring missions.

"I can't help it, Naruto. We have to clean up the river today, so I probably won't have time to practice ninjutsu. How about this, I'll treat you to ramen when I get my mission reward?"

"Oh! Ramen! ...Don't try to change the subject! I've already sent shadow clones to do the mission, hurry up and teach us ninjutsu!"

Just then, Naruto's shadow clone finished its mission and returned to Naruto's body as memories.

"Alright, mission accomplished! Now teach us ninjutsu, ninjutsu!"

Kakashi suddenly felt a headache coming on, but then a thought suddenly struck him: "That's right, Sasuke and Sakura haven't mastered climbing trees and walking on water yet, and their control over chakra is too weak. Naruto, once you teach them, I'll teach you ninjutsu."

Naruto pursed his lips upon hearing this and conjured two more shadow clones.

"I'll have my shadow clones teach them, is that alright now?"

Kakashi wanted to say that multitasking would be very taxing, but thinking of Naruto's unfathomable chakra on the day of the assessment, he silently swallowed his words.

"I just can't do anything with you." Kakashi stretched, looking like he finally had some energy.

Seeing Sasuke's hesitant expression, Kakashi advised, "Sasuke, focus on building a solid foundation first. Your talent is no less than Naruto's."

Sasuke lowered his head upon hearing this: So my talent is still not as good as Naruto's, is that right?

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and meticulously followed Naruto's shadow clones to learn chakra control.

Sakura Haruno felt a little awkward, but seeing that Sasuke was studying hard, she started to learn as well.

Naruto and Kakashi then went to an open space to teach.

Kakashi was about to speak when he turned to look at Naruto and found that his aura had changed, just like on the day of the assessment.

Kakashi was baffled and could only explain it as Naruto's "serious state".

Naruto has always kept his promise to the system and has never revealed anything about the system to anyone. Ordinary people would never think of such a bizarre thing, so naturally they don't know that the so-called "serious state" is actually a switch to a managed state.

"Let's test your chakra attributes first."

As he spoke, Kakashi took out a chakra test strip.

"If it's fire-attribute, it will burn the paper; wind will split it in two; lightning will wrinkle it; earth will shred it; water will soak it. Excellent ninjas often have two or more types of chakra..."

Kakashi choked up as soon as he finished speaking.

All of the above changes occurred because of the chakra test strip in Naruto's hand.

"A genius with all attributes..."

After a brief moment of shock, Kakashi quickly recovered. After all, Naruto was Minato Namikaze's child, so it was normal for him to be highly talented. Besides, Kakashi himself possessed all the attributes.

But Naruto knew that wasn't the case. Initially, he only had wind-style chakra, and it was only after the system was developed that he gained all the chakra attributes.

"Hmm... I'll teach you a Wind Release ninjutsu first."

As he spoke, Kakashi formed the corresponding hand seals, then exhaled a gust of wind that knocked down several large trees.

"Next, I'll explain the key points of this move to you..."

No sooner had Kakashi finished speaking than Naruto unleashed a gust of wind as powerful as his own.

"..."

Yes, this kid is also a genius with extremely strong observation skills.

"Huh? Naruto, didn't you forget to form hand seals just now?"

The system didn't try to hide anything and nodded: "That's right. After using ninjutsu a lot, I've realized that hand seals are actually for better guiding the flow of chakra. Since you can control the flow of chakra on your own, you naturally don't need to use hand seals."

Is he using ninjutsu without a seal? ...Teacher, this child's talent is probably at least as strong as yours.

Thinking this, Kakashi felt a headache coming on: He was going to be exhausted today.

After a day, even Naruto in his inner world couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the system's learning ability truly was.

While others need to practice repeatedly to learn ninjutsu, he only needs to record and analyze the information such as Kakashi's demonstrations to learn most of it.

Soon, Naruto mastered dozens of ninjutsu.

"Wait...wait, Naruto, let's rest for a bit." It was Kakashi who couldn't hold on any longer.

The system simply organized the ninjutsu it had just learned in the database and tried to find commonalities among these ninjutsu in order to develop new ninjutsu.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura Haruno had finished their tree-climbing and water-walking practice.

A rare hint of smugness appeared on Sasuke's usually cold, poker-faced expression, because he had mastered climbing trees and wading perfectly in just half a day.

Although Naruto's shadow clones and Sakura Haruno's help were indispensable along the way.

Sasuke thought to himself: Learning ninjutsu is not so easy. Naruto probably hasn't mastered a single ninjutsu yet. I practiced for several days when I learned the Fireball Jutsu. All things considered, the gap between me and Naruto should have narrowed a little.

However, when he arrived at Naruto and Kakashi's location, he witnessed a scene that shocked him to his core.

All of this... was caused by Naruto practicing ninjutsu?

It's no wonder Sasuke was shocked, because the training ground looked like it had been through a typhoon, fire, earthquake, tsunami, and thunderstorm; it was so dilapidated that it was unrecognizable from its original state.
