Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Naruto's Diary

Over this period of time, I can see the changes in myself.

After getting to know the system, I stopped eating instant noodles for every meal, because the system helped me learn to cook many dishes according to the recipes, and they were really delicious.

However, I still occasionally go to Ichiraku Ramen to satisfy my craving, because the taste of ramen is really hard to forget, and the ramen maker is a very nice guy.

In the past, when it was time to go to bed, I would always fantasize about what it would be like to become Hokage in the future, and as a result, I would stay up very late again.

The system can fall asleep as soon as it gets into bed, which is really amazing!

Because we get enough sleep, we get up very early every morning to exercise, as we need to complete our daily exercise routine of "500 laps around the track, 500 push-ups, 250 sit-ups, and 100 pull-ups" before class.

Oh, and there's one more important thing—after I started exercising, I made two great friends!

Xiao Li and Teacher Matt Kai always wear green bodysuits and their catchphrase is "youth." Although they seem a bit strange, I'm a weirdo too, so they're perfect friends.

If I had known that I could make friends by exercising, I should have gone earlier, even though I probably wouldn't have been able to get up.

Teacher Thick Eyebrows also taught me two martial arts moves. Even the system said that Teacher Thick Eyebrows' martial arts skills are very powerful, so it must be true.

Although I don't know why, the system told me not to shout out my name when using these two moves outside the village.

Then, I became the best in my class and dominated the ninja school!

I've disliked that arrogant Sasuke for a long time. And all those people in my class who look down on me, just you wait and see, I'll soon become Hokage!

However, I don't understand.

Sasuke used to be a genius in class, and everyone liked him. Now I'm a genius too, so why don't people like me?

My classmate still refuses to be my friend.

The teacher still targets me.

Even Sakura scolded me last time, saying, "How dare a loser like you injure Sasuke's handsome face?"

I do not understand.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I've dreamed about similar scenes before, so I was already mentally prepared.

Mom is right. You only need a few close friends, and the system is my close friend.

And another thing, not only have I become very good at physical skills, but I have also learned a lot of knowledge from books. In the last test, only Sakura and I got full marks!

His ninjutsu has also improved a lot. He is now very proficient in the Three Body Technique, which he was not good at before. He even created a new "Sexy Technique", which even Iruka-sensei is no match for!

……

I did everything my mother said.

But I still miss them so much.

The system said it would help me find a ninjutsu that would allow me to reunite with my parents, but I'm still too weak right now. I've been working on the basics for a long time.

That stinky fox is really something, living for so many years and still not knowing any ninjutsu.

It seems I'll have to wait until after graduation to ask my instructor, a Jonin, to teach me ninjutsu.

I don't know who my teammates will be. I used to hope to be on the same team as Sakura, but now it doesn't really matter. If I had to choose, I'd say Shikamaru and Choji, although both Shikamaru and the system say the chances are slim.

Actually, we'll know the results today, because today is our last day at the Ninja Academy, the day of our graduation exam!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Naruto sat at his tidy desk, carefully writing in his diary stroke by stroke.

As he typed this sentence, the system reminded him that the exam was approaching.

Naruto actually had a lot more he wanted to write, but this was about enough.

After adding the last sentence, he closed the diary, jumped out of the window, landed safely, and ran towards the ninja academy.

After Naruto left, a gust of wind blew into the room, opening his diary and revealing neat handwriting inside.

"So today marks my first step on the path to becoming the best Hokage and the most powerful ninja!"

On another page, there is a drawing in which Kushina is holding Naruto's shoulder, and Minato Namikaze is holding another "Naruto's" shoulder. The four of them are enjoying themselves, just like a family portrait.

……

"Naruto Uzumaki".

Upon hearing his name called, Naruto got up from his seat and went to the classroom next door.

"Bring it on, Iruka-sensei. I've mastered all three body techniques."

Naruto put his thumb across his heart and smiled confidently.

Iruka looked up and saw Naruto, who had changed so much, and was filled with emotion.

At first, when Naruto arrived at school early to study, most people thought he was just trying to attract attention and that he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long.

However, in the blink of an eye, he had already graduated.

Iruka was genuinely happy for Naruto. Even setting aside Naruto's academic progress, his confidence was visibly increasing.

"I trust you, as long as you don't try any seduction tricks on me again."

After Iruka signaled that it was time to begin, Naruto formed hand seals and created several clones that looked exactly like him.

"Hmm, the clone that appeared was deceptive, its hand seals were very precise, and it was fast."

"So, my score is...?" Naruto looked at Iruka expectantly.

"Perfect score!"

"Yay! Now I'll get full marks in all subjects and be the undisputed number one in the whole school!" Naruto jumped up excitedly.

For this graduation exam, Naruto specifically agreed with the system that he would take care of the entire process himself.

In the end, he successfully achieved a perfect score in all subjects and became the top student in the entire school. There were no ties. Although Sasuke scored a perfect score in actual combat and Sakura scored a perfect score in theory, both of them had their own weaknesses, and their total scores could not match Naruto's.

"Congratulations, Naruto, on becoming a full-fledged genin." Iruka solemnly handed Naruto his ninja headband, his eyes full of admiration.

"This is nothing! I'm going to become the greatest Hokage, the strongest ninja!"

Naruto took the headband, tied it on his forehead, and struck a cool pose.

"Go back and rest. Remember to come back to the Ninja Academy in a couple of days to assign teammates and instruct Jonin."

"I know, I know."

Naruto happily went out the door.

He didn't just leave the ninja academy; instead, he went back to his class and showed those who looked down on him what was on his forehead.

Of all the students in the class, Sasuke Uchiha was the most unwilling to accept it.

I lost again. I haven't won a single game this year...

Others either congratulated or were shocked. At this point, many people may still hate Naruto, but no one would think that Naruto's strength is lacking.

Sensing the change in everyone's attitude, Naruto was in a great mood.

"System, the method you mentioned for gaining recognition seems to actually work."

Frankly speaking, most people don't really know you, nor are they interested in knowing you. Their impression of you is based solely on rumors or the persona you've created. In that case, you might as well establish a strong persona, since people naturally admire strength.

Naruto's thinking has also changed. He used to be too kind, but now he understands the importance of looking at things dialectically.

After walking around the classroom, Naruto hummed a little tune and walked out of the school gate.

Just then, a system notification sounded: [Host, someone is following us.]

Upon hearing this, Naruto tensed up and entered battle mode.

"Who? The Third Hokage's... Anbu?"

No, their methods aren't that crude; it's Shuimu.

"Teacher Shuimu? Why is he following me?"

[It's unclear at the moment. Actually, I wanted to point it out during the exam; the way Shuimu was looking at you seemed a bit off.]

"So what do we do now? It shouldn't be a problem if it's just Chunin."

There's no need to alert the enemy; as the saying goes, "cast a long line to catch a big fish," we can...

Chapter 12 I could tell at a glance you were a spy from another country.

"Strange, where did they go..."

Shui Mu walked out of the alley, his eyes scanning every corner in front of him, as if searching for something.

"Is Mr. Mizuki looking for me?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, startling Shui Mu.

When did he get behind me? I didn't even notice.

Mizuki was so frightened by this sudden situation that he almost gave up his original plan, but after seeing Naruto's harmless face, he changed his mind.

He's just a kid, and not a very bright one at that.

Without further ado, Mizuki approached Naruto and said in a seductive voice, "Naruto, aren't you also very envious? Envious of your classmates who are picked up and dropped off by their parents every day, while you can only go home alone."

"This must feel terrible, right? I understand you, because I was an orphan too."

Seeing Naruto with his head down, Mizuki assumed his persuasion had worked and pressed his advantage by revealing his true purpose:

"So, Naruto, do you want to know about your background? Do you want to know why you're isolated? Do you want to know how to become a true powerhouse?"

"I know the answers to all these questions."

"If you want to know, then steal the Book of Seals... What? You know?! How could you possibly know!"

Mizuki looked at Naruto in disbelief, feeling as if things were slipping out of his control.

"It's just that everyone thinks I'm the fox spirit who destroyed the village twelve years ago." Naruto shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

"How do you know all this..." Mizuki was dumbfounded.

"What's the big deal? Grandpa Hokage already told me that."
