Ueda Shin's Declaration

"Damn it, what kind of name is that? It's actually Ito Makoto." A boy suddenly blurted out a curse. This voice instantly drew everyone's attention.

That was Ueda Shin, the suspected transmigrator. Unexpectedly, he didn't use the language of this world for that sentence, but rather the native language from Ito Makoto's past life.

Now it was certain: Ueda Shin was a transmigrator. Being able to speak that language and reacting to the name Ito Makoto suggested he might have come from the same world as him.

Meanwhile, standing on the podium, Ito Makoto took the opportunity to silently observe the reactions of the others.

Most people were confused, unable to understand what he was saying. Only Senju Kotoha and Yamanaka Ino showed a hint of surprise. This made the possibility of them being transmigrators even higher.

This Ueda Shin knew he had spoken the language of his past life, but he had no intention of hiding it. To show off, he shouted, "Idiots, what's so great about being a Chunin? To say your ideal is to become a Chunin—is your brain broken?"

"If you want to talk about strength, it should at least be a Jonin or the Naruto. Saying you want to be a Chunin is just embarrassing."

Ito Makoto didn't argue. The opinions of others were insignificant; if a potential enemy like Ueda Shin misunderstood him, that was even better.

However, Iruka interrupted Ueda Shin's mockery. He couldn't understand Ueda Shin's first sentence in the foreign language, but he understood the subsequent words in the language of this world.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the ideal of becoming a Chunin." Iruka patted Ito Makoto on the shoulder. "While grand ideals are magnificent and moving, practical and realistic wishes should not be mocked."

"There is no hierarchy between the two; both can guide the direction of one's life. Besides, as a teacher, I am a Chunin myself. Although Jonin have great strength, they are ultimately promoted from Chunin. Chunin are also the pillars of the village."

Seeing Iruka support Ito Makoto, Ueda Shin clicked his tongue in disdain, looking very unconvinced.

Ito Makoto walked down from the podium, his heart devoid of ripples. Ueda Shin's mockery was like a light breeze brushing against his face.

Having personally experienced the strife between the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan, he was already unmoved by this kind of verbal provocation. Compared to the conspiracies and persecutions that involved digging out eyes, imprisonment, and finding scapegoats at every turn, Ueda Shin was just a child playing house.

Back at his seat, Sakura couldn't help but comfort him, "I think being a Chunin is a good wish too. Aunt Mika is a medical Chunin, and she can still hold her own. Becoming a ninja like Aunt Mika is also my ideal."

Unexpectedly, there was an added bonus. Ueda Shin had actually done a good deed; by revealing his identity, he helped Ito Makoto appease Sakura. What a nice guy.

He signaled to Sakura that he was fine and continued to pay attention to the other targets.

"My name is Nara Shikamaru. I like napping, and my ideal is to live a leisurely and peaceful life."

Ito Makoto gave Shikamaru a mental thumbs-up. This ideal coincided perfectly with his own preferences. He also wanted to live a leisurely life, but things had gone against his wishes; in order to cope with future challenges, he had to get involved with Might Guy.

"My name is Yamanaka Ino. I like flower arranging, and my ideal is to find a handsome guy to date."

Hearing Ino's words, Iruka couldn't help but wipe away sweat. Are children these days this precocious?

"My name is Akimichi Choji. I like eating barbecue, and my ideal is to have an endless supply of snacks."

A simple wish.

Next, it was the turn of the key figure, the transmigrator Ueda Shin.

He stood up abruptly, his lower body turning into flames as he flew onto the podium and manifested his form. He was showing off his movement technique.

It was just tough on Iruka, who was scorched by the flames and broke out in a sweat.

"My name is Ueda Shin. Gender: male. Hobbies: women. My ideal is to become the Naruto, marry countless beauties, and open a harem."

Ito Makoto was shocked, all the students were shocked, and Iruka was shocked.

What kind of shameless words was this person saying? This was a school classroom; what did he think this place was? Having such thoughts was one thing, but to shout them out in class? Had he really lost all sense of shame?

Following this brazen declaration, all the girls in the class showed expressions of disgust.

"Pervert!" Sakura and Senju Kotoha cursed in unison.

"Student Ueda Shin, you must respect the wishes of girls when it comes to dating. Besides, Konoha has a monogamous system; even if you become the Naruto, you cannot open a harem."

Iruka explained with difficulty. He truly didn't understand children these days; he was only 16, yet there was already a generation gap between him and the current children.

"It doesn't matter. I'll become the Naruto sooner or later anyway. After that, I'll change the marriage laws."

Ueda Shin said, patting his chest triumphantly.

What the hell is this! Ito Makoto felt powerless to retort. Could this transmigrator Ueda Shin be treating this world like a game, playing through it by treating everyone like NPCs? He didn't care about anyone else at all, completely centered on himself.

Iruka was also at a loss. He hadn't expected to face such a thorny situation in his first time as a teacher. This child not only had evil thoughts but also had specific plans and intended to implement them in the future.

How could such a small child have such bizarre ideas? Could it be that he had read too much Icha Icha Paradise and mistakenly thought the world was like the one in the book?

If that were the case, Jiraiya was truly guilty of a heinous crime, Iruka complained inwardly.

However, he also knew it was time to unleash the iron fist of an educator.

He punched Ueda Shin on the head and shouted, "Where did a brat like you get such evil thoughts! Shut your mouth and reflect on yourself!"

However, it was useless. Ueda Shin's head turned directly into flames, dodging the attack.

Afterward, he turned entirely into flames and flew back to his seat.

"As expected! Unable to understand the thoughts of a person destined for great change, Iruka-sensei, you are too stubborn and conservative."

Ueda Shin pointed a finger at his own forehead, pretending to be profound.

"No matter how many obstacles there are, I will realize my ideal."

Iruka covered his face with the roster in his hand.

"Ueda Shin, bring your parents in tomorrow."

"Iruka-sensei, I don't have parents."

What? Was he an orphan just like him? Iruka felt a pang of sympathy, but he stifled it in an instant. That made it even more important not to let this child continue growing up so twisted. He was a genius in the making.

"Then get to the track and start running laps. Go now, and don't you dare stop until I say so."

Iruka roared.

"Got it, got it." Ueda Shin picked at his ear with an indifferent expression and walked out of the classroom.
