Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Page 7

He had no intention of giving up so easily, after all, "looking down on" definitely did not mean "accepting".

So he got up and said goodbye to Matt Kay and Lee: "I have class later, so I'm leaving now. I'll spend my youth with you guys again next time."

"No problem, youth never ends!" Might Guy and Rock Lee gave Naruto a thumbs up.

Out of respect for Might Guy and Rock Lee, Tenten waved goodbye to Naruto, while Neji didn't even glance at Naruto.

However, when Naruto passed by him, Neji suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him and he fell straight down.

Neji was startled by this sudden situation. He tried to support himself with his hands, but found that he couldn't lift them at all.

Just when he thought he was about to hit the back of his head hard on the ground, a pair of hands caught him.

"Neji-senpai, are you alright?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Neji!"

Might Guy and the other two noticed that Neji was acting strangely, so they quickly stopped their training and rushed over.

"What happened? Did he overdo it and hurt himself?" Tenten asked, puzzled. With Neji's physical condition, this shouldn't be the case.

"No, I'm fine." Neji tried to stand up, but couldn't muster the strength.

He knew perfectly well what this familiar feeling meant—he had been acupunctured!

Neji was about to warn them when he found that he had regained his ability to move.

"Seriously, Neji, don't scare us like that."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after checking Neji and finding him unharmed.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." The system waved goodbye to the four people.

He didn't roll his eyes, so why did he use pressure point techniques? And I didn't even realize when he did it. Does that mean he's more skilled than me in this area?

He didn't hurt me, he just temporarily incapacitated me, meaning... a show of force?

Looking at Naruto's harmless face, Neji suddenly felt a chill.

Chapter 9 One Man Takes on the Entire Class

"System, what did you do to him?"

It was just a small lesson, don't worry, he wasn't hurt at all.

Naruto didn't think much of it after hearing what the system said.

As the system said, he only attacked Neji in his area of expertise, slightly changing Neji's impression of Naruto—fear was at least closer to acceptance than disdain.

As for how the system does all this, it's actually quite simple.

Since he has absolute control over Naruto's body, he naturally knows all about the body's pressure points and knows where to attack to exhaust the person.

Information about the Konoha ninja clan came from Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and Minato Namikaze and his wife. At the time, Kushina was so angry that she told the system to teach Naruto a lesson if it ever encountered anyone who bullied him.

Upon arriving at the ninja academy, there weren't many people there yet, so the system simply took out its books and began to preview the contents.

It has to be said that Naruto's foundation is really weak; the system glances over and finds that most of the knowledge is not in the database.

Fortunately, the system has a strong learning ability and can control the body to absorb knowledge with 100% focus, making learning very easy.

He flipped through the book very quickly, so fast that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could read ten lines at a glance, and finished studying a book in no time.

Most importantly, the essence of systematic learning is to enrich Naruto's information base, which means that the content of this book and Naruto have been completely integrated.

Naruto was surprised, feeling as if he needed to develop a brain.

As the system picked up the next book, it glanced around and noticed that there were already quite a few people in the class, and there were only ten minutes left before class started.

Estimating that it would be just enough to complete the study of another book, the system took out the book to be used in the next lesson and flipped through it.

Naruto's change was quickly noticed by his classmates. Usually, there would be a noisy noise in the class at this time, but there was none today. In fact, the "culprit" even started studying, which was quite surprising.

Sakura Haruno also arrived at the school at this time.

Before entering the classroom, the expression on her face could be described as "full of changes".

The thought of meeting her beloved Sasuke made her swoon.

But at the same time, Sakura Haruno felt annoyed because she knew she would be interrupted by the annoying Naruto.

As Sakura entered the classroom, she didn't hear any familiar greetings. She glanced around the classroom curiously and was surprised to find Naruto studying diligently.

Sakura Haruno's expression changed slightly, but she didn't seem to care: "It's probably just an act to attract attention. Anyway, they'll definitely bother me again later."

With that thought in mind, Sakura Haruno sat down in her seat.

However, to her surprise, Naruto didn't say a single word to her until class started.

Hmph, that's fine, I don't want to talk to you anyway. Don't come crying to me later and begging me to talk to you.

The system turned to the last page of the book, just as the school bell rang and the teacher walked in.

Even though the students had already mastered the textbook content, the system still respected the teacher's expertise and allowed them to listen to the lecture.

However, after only five minutes, he realized there was no point in continuing, because the teacher was simply reading from the textbook and occasionally digressing to boast about his past experiences as a genin.

So the system simply started learning by reading books on its own.

However, the teacher noticed that Naruto wasn't paying attention to his story as a ninja, and his face immediately fell.

"Naruto Uzumaki, answer this: When an enemy uses Wind Release ninjutsu, what elemental ninjutsu should you use to counter it?"

Naruto below seemed not to hear, and did not react for a long time until Shikamaru patted him on the back before he got up.

"Teacher, could you say that again?"

A few chuckles came from inside the classroom.

"I told you what elemental ninjutsu you should use to counter a wind-style ninjutsu! Fine, you probably don't know anyway, now get out and stand in the corner!"

"Use Fire Release ninjutsu."

Upon hearing Naruto's correct answer, the teacher looked up in surprise and reluctantly nodded, gesturing for Naruto to sit down.

Just as the system was about to sit down, it heard the teacher mutter under its breath, thanks to its excellent perception, "It must have been a lucky guess."

Naruto didn't stop there, but continued, "There are five common chakra natures, with the relationships of fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water being mutually restraining. In addition, there are yin and yang chakra natures."

"To make it easier to use chakra to perform ninjutsu, you can use hand seals."

As he spoke, Naruto swiftly performed all 12 hand seals, his movements perfectly executed.

This scene left everyone speechless, except for Uchiha Sasuke, who didn't seem to care much.

Keep in mind that they are still in the Ninja Academy. If Naruto can only talk about the relationship between chakra and restraint, then at most it can be said that he is studying hard.

But he even knew about Yin and Yang chakra, and could quickly and accurately form 12 hand seals, which surprised everyone.

"Yes, the answer is correct. Please sit down."

Everyone looked at Naruto differently now.

Sakura Haruno glanced at Naruto with some surprise, but her expression quickly turned disdainful.

I can do that myself; it's nothing special.

To put it bluntly, he did this on purpose to attract attention, right? How boring, not like Sasuke at all.

As soon as Naruto sat down, a commotion broke out in the classroom.

"Am I seeing things? That loser actually got all the answers right, and his hand seals were so perfect."

"Could it be that someone transformed into... what was his name again? Anyway, they came to class looking like him."

"Maybe, just a couple of days ago he was made to stand as punishment because he couldn't answer the teacher's question."

Naruto heard their doubts, and his excitement at having been boosted by the system's help to make him stand out was replaced by disappointment.

"System, why don't they recognize me? I've made such great progress."

As I mentioned before, there are two ways to gain others' approval, but the gentler approach often requires a lot of time and effort to gradually change stereotypes.

In comparison, the most direct and efficient method is to expose the muscles directly to them.

[Host, there's no need to worry. There's a practical lesson this afternoon. By then... at least they won't dare question our strength anymore.]

"Yes, I believe you."

If it were the old Naruto who experienced something like this, he would probably appear nonchalant and cheerful on the surface, but would be constantly internally conflicted when he was alone.

Now that he has the system as a close friend to share his troubles with, even without any good solutions, just confiding in someone makes him feel much better.

The afternoon practical class will be taught by Iruka Umino, who will arrange the students to fight by drawing lots as usual.

Just as he was about to make the arrangements, Naruto raised his hand.

"What's wrong, Naruto? Do you want to challenge someone?" Iruka asked gently.

"Yes."

When Naruto issued the challenge, several people were prepared to see him suffer a setback.

Sakura Haruno rolled her eyes: Here we go again. Why is this guy causing so much trouble today? Is he just trying to get attention?

"So who do you want to challenge? It's best to choose an opponent of similar strength, otherwise they have the right to refuse," Iruka said simply.

Naruto stood up, revealing a confident smile.

"No problem, the two sides are indeed evenly matched."

"Because what I'm going to challenge is the entire class!"

Chapter 10 Who is the Genius?

Upon hearing Naruto's words, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
