Seven, Three Against One, Advantage Me

After Umino Iruka left, Beizawa sat at his desk, fingers interlaced, pressed against his nose.

He was thinking, thinking about how to become the Class Leader of First Year Class A.

If he were a student, it would make perfect sense, but he was a teacher.

A teacher vying with students for the position of class leader? What kind of nonsense was that?

But this task had to be done, because it rewarded Water Release.

There were seven Chakra Natures in total: the common ones were Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, and Lightning, while the hidden ones were Yin and Yang.

Shinobi were born with Chakra Natures, but usually only one or two.

For example, if someone had the Lightning Nature, training in Lightning Release would not only be easier but also more powerful.

Beizawa had tested his Chakra Natures; he only had Wind and Fire.

Gaining one more Nature would bring many advantages, so he naturally didn't want to miss out.

Beizawa let out a sigh and walked to the single wooden bed behind his desk.

He lay down on the bed, spreading his arms and legs into a "wood" character shape.

Beizawa thought as he slept, eventually losing consciousness.

Second Year Class C.

Toranosuke had just sat down when he noticed a small note on his desk.

He opened it curiously.

There was only one sentence on it: "Don't leave after school tomorrow."

And the signature was a name he was quite familiar with: Hinata Hyuga.

"When did that crybaby Byakugan freak get so bold?"

Toranosuke asked, his face full of surprise.

"Big bro, did you get a note too?"

Two boys of similar age crowded around and asked.

"What's this about?"

Toranosuke looked at three identical notes and asked.

"Should we go? Could it be a trap?"

One boy asked, a bit wary. "She's still the young lady of the Hyuga Clan, after all."

"Of course we're going!"

Toranosuke snorted coldly and said, "Adults won't interfere in matters between us kids."

The reason he could bully others at school was precisely because of this.

The shinobi world respected strength above all.

If Hyuga Hiashi stepped in to teach them a lesson, he would be ridiculed by the major ninja clans.

"Then we're guaranteed to win!"

The boy said with absolute certainty.

"Of course! Three against one, the advantage is ours!"

Toranosuke nodded confidently and said, "Hope this time they let us have some real fun!"

"Big bro speaks wisdom!"

The two boys immediately flattered him.

With a blink of the eyes, lunch break was over.

Beizawa sat up and yawned.

He already had a preliminary idea of how to become the class leader.

To sum it up, it was to abandon martial virtue and trick the system.

The system only said he had to become the class leader, but it didn't say for how long.

Beizawa washed his face, checked the time, and headed toward the classroom.

The moment he reached the door, the bell for class rang.

"What do you know, I'm pretty punctual."

Beizawa chuckled lightly and stepped up to the podium.

"Teacher Beizawa!"

Ino Yamanaka stood up, waving at him like a cheerleader.

Afterward, she didn't forget to shoot Sakura Haruno a smug look.

"..."

Sakura Haruno pouted.

Even though Beizawa was handsome, he wasn't their age—eventually, he'd grow old before them.

She turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha and flashed a sweet smile.

Sasuke Uchiha ignored her completely.

In his mind, there was only Itachi Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha.

He was too eager to improve, to earn their praise.

Women would only hinder his training.

"Let's start class."

Beizawa nodded at Ino Yamanaka and asked, "Do you know who founded Konoha?"

"I know!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly said, "It was Hashirama Senju!"

"More precisely, it was the Senju Clan."

Beizawa corrected, "The First Hokage and the Second Hokage both came from the Senju Clan."

"Teacher Beizawa."

Naruto Uzumaki asked in confusion, "Why aren't there any Senju Clan ninja now?"

"There are, there are."

Beizawa smiled and said, "For example, Lady Tsunade, one of the Konoha Sannin, is a Senju Clan ninja."

Just then, Sasuke Uchiha raised his hand.

"Sasuke."

Beizawa called on him.

"My brother said the Uchiha Clan were also founders of Konoha."

Sasuke Uchiha stood up and said.

After he spoke, many people looked puzzled.

Except for students from ninja clans like Hinata Hyuga and Shikamaru Nara, most didn't know about the Uchiha Clan's ancestral glory.

After all, the Uchiha Clan was now in the awkward position of having their reputation ruined.

Especially after the Nine-Tails' Rampage, their compound was forced to move to the edge of Konoha, and they were under surveillance.

"Correct."

Beizawa nodded and said, "It was the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan who ended the chaotic Warring States period and founded Konoha."

So, everything my brother said was true.

Sasuke Uchiha showed a proud expression, feeling satisfied.

"Today, we're going to talk about the story of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

Beizawa slapped the table and struck a pose, "Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a family..."

Being rated the best teacher wasn't just because of Hiruzen Sarutobi—his own teaching skills played a big part too.

After all, Beizawa was a transmigrator, well-traveled and knowledgeable.

Compared to the rigid teachers at the ninja academy, he always came up with new tricks.

Kids didn't like class, but they loved listening to stories.

So Beizawa mimicked storytelling or stand-up comedy to teach them.

The bell rang.

"...If you want to know what happens next, listen to the next chapter."

Beizawa picked up his materials and said, "Class dismissed."

"Ahhh! Why did it cut off there?"

"Why does Teacher Beizawa's class go by so fast?"

"Class is actually this fun? I want to take it forever!"

After Beizawa left, the students, still craving more, snapped back to reality.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned slightly.

In the story, the Uchiha Clan was on par with the Senju Clan, incredibly formidable.

But how had the Uchiha Clan ended up like this?

Sasuke Uchiha hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to go home and ask his brother, Itachi Uchiha.

As for Beizawa, he hadn't earned his recognition yet.

After all, an Uchiha never admits inferiority to anyone—they only respect the strong.

"Ino Yamanaka turned her head and found Sakura Haruno already running toward Sasuke Uchiha again. 'Teacher Beizawa really explains it well, Sakura, you... you jerk!'"

"Hinata Hyuga glanced at her, not quite understanding the bond between those two best friends."

"'What do you think, Hinata?' Ino Yamanaka noticed her gaze and asked."

"'Mm.' Hinata Hyuga paused, then nodded and said, 'He's very good.'"

"She suddenly thought of her father, Hyuga Hiashi."

"Every time he taught her the Gentle Fist, he would keep a stern face, extremely strict."

"Her personality was already introverted, and under that double pressure, she ended up learning poorly."

"If it were Beizawa instead, she felt she would definitely have an easier time."

"Hinata Hyuga thought this, then quickly shook her head, driving away those messy ideas."

"Her family upbringing wouldn't allow her to fantasize about such impractical things."
