Dreams!

Chapter 7 [Dream!]

[Option Mission Complete, Chakra +0.1.]

As Hyuga Bin's choice concluded, the system's reward arrived instantly, without waiting for Hyuga Bin to complete the mission.

Hyuga Bin was used to it.

"Bin, let's race to see who can finish fifty laps first," Hatake Kakashi said, slowing his pace to match Hyuga Bin's as they ran.

Ever since he lost to Hyuga Bin a year ago, Hyuga Bin hadn't accepted any of his challenges, which had been building up inside him.

Now, with the annual entrance test, he saw it as an opportunity to compete with Hyuga Bin.

"Forget it," Hyuga Bin shook his head, maintaining his steady pace.

"Bin, it's been a year, why won't you accept my challenge?" Hearing Hyuga Bin's refusal again, Hatake Kakashi's expression instantly drooped. He looked like a girl who had been played and ruthlessly abandoned by her boyfriend.

"Yeah, it's been a year," Hyuga Bin sighed upon hearing Hatake Kakashi's words.

Over the past year, Hyuga Bin's option missions had appeared hundreds of times.

And in these option missions, as long as he chose an option other than adding random attribute points, subsequent missions would always appear.

And these subsequent missions were ones he absolutely could not complete.

Moreover, the higher the reward, the more impossible it was to complete, and the greater the danger.

He had once accepted an option mission to "help an old lady cross the road," but it turned out the old lady was a spy from another ninja village in disguise, and he was almost killed by her with a kunai.

Before he was stabbed, he thought he had struck gold, that the system was amazing for giving a B-rank reward for simply helping an old lady cross the road...

Also, for the mission he initially accepted to "help Tsunade resolve her inner demons," he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his dignity and act cute for Tsunade to complete the mission.

Then one night, he was accidentally injured by a drunken Tsunade, who hit him with a punch that left him severely wounded and unconscious on the spot.

Although Tsunade immediately sobered up, healed him, and apologized sincerely, the fact that he was almost beaten to death couldn't be changed.

To this day, his "resolve Tsunade's inner demons" mission was still pending in the system.

He had many similar missions, and Hyuga Bin recalled them with tears streaming down his face...

So, he understood. The system was misleading him with other options; the only true option was +0.1 random attribute points.

This also meant he couldn't be like the transmigrators in novels who became Kage-level at seven, super-Kage at nine, and Six Paths level at ten, kicking Madara Uchiha and **Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He could only proceed cautiously.

Whether it was because he was too strong or his opponents were too weak, Hyuga Bin held back with all his might and still finished the entrance exam in twentieth place.

After receiving his admission letter, Hyuga Bin headed straight to the food street to complete his daily check-in.

The next day, Hyuga Bin arrived at the Ninja Academy ten minutes early.

By the time the Third Hokage, who was also the principal of the Ninja Academy, finished his speech and the classes were assigned, it was already eleven in the morning.

Hyuga Bin was assigned to Class 1-1. Most of the students in his class were his "acquaintances."

Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Tobitake, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Rin, Zekiminobu...

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma, Hyuga Bin knew that he, ranked twentieth in the entrance exam, had been assigned to an elite class.

After all, Sarutobi Asuma was the biological son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he naturally deserved the best teacher.

As for Uchiha Obito being in the same class, did he get in through the back door?

"Bin, we're in the same class!" Unlike Hyuga Bin's malicious thoughts, Uchiha Obito was pleasantly surprised to see him.

Ever since Hyuga Bin stood up for him a year ago when he was being bullied, Uchiha Obito had considered Hyuga Bin his best friend.

At the same time, Hyuga Bin was also the person he would strive to surpass in the future.

Because only by becoming stronger than Hyuga Bin could he protect Hyuga Bin next time, instead of continuing to be protected by him.

"Mm," Hyuga Bin nodded with a smile.

Hatake Kakashi, standing nearby, looked at Hyuga Bin and Uchiha Obito, clenched his fists, wanting to say something, but didn't.

A few minutes later, all the students in the class had arrived. At the same time, a female ninja, under thirty, wearing a ninja uniform that accentuated her curves, walked into the classroom.

The previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

The female ninja walked to the podium and scanned the students below.

This ninja was Saimei Shunkoka, an elite Chunin who inherited the Will of Fire from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was the homeroom teacher for Hyuga Bin and the others.

In addition to being the homeroom teacher, Saimei Shunkoka was also responsible for the class's "Language Arts" curriculum, teaching subjects like the "Will of Fire."

Saimei Shunkoka deeply loved Konoha. Even during her vacation, she would often privately seek out Sarutobi Hiruzen for guidance on the Will of Fire.

Each time Sarutobi Hiruzen provided his full and dedicated guidance, Saimei Shunkoka's pretty face would flush with excitement, as she learned new knowledge.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also really liked Saimei Shunkoka's attitude towards learning, so he arranged for her to be the homeroom teacher for the elite class, so she could teach his son, Sarutobi Asuma.

"Welcome, everyone, to Class 1. I am your homeroom teacher, Saimei Shunkoka. You can call me Teacher Saimei."

"Today's first lesson is getting to know each other. When I call your name, please come up to the stage and give a brief self-introduction, talking about your hobbies and dreams."

After Saimei Shunkoka finished speaking, she flipped through the roster in her hand and read out the first name.

"First, Uchiha Obito."

Uchiha Obito stood up and walked to the stage, a little nervous. "Hello everyone, my name is Uchiha Obito. I'm five years old. My hobby is eating three-colored dango, and my dream is to become Hokage!"

"A very grand dream," Saimei Shunkoka smiled and nodded, then read out the next name.

"Next student, Sarutobi Asuma!"

"My name is Sarutobi Asuma. I'm five years old. My hobby is reading manga, and my dream is also to become Hokage!" Asuma was the Hokage's son, after all, and showed no nervousness on stage.

"Next student, Hatake Kakashi."

"Nohara Rin..."

"..."

"Hyuga Bin..."

The moment Saimei Shunkoka called Hyuga Bin's name, the option mission appeared in Hyuga Bin's mind:

[Option A: Boldly state that your dream is to become the man who will be the Fifth Hokage. Completion Reward: Mount Myōboku Sage Art (S-rank).]

[Option B: Set a small goal to become the strongest in the Ninja World. Completion Reward: Flying Thunder God Technique (S-rank).]

[Option C: Casually state an ordinary, unremarkable dream. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +0.1.]

Faced with two options that offered such generous rewards from the system, Hyuga Bin was a little tempted.

"Just by becoming the man who will be the Fifth Hokage, or the strongest in the Ninja World, I can get S-rank rewards? Terrifying!"

"Since that's the case, I'll just casually state an ordinary, unremarkable dream."
