Enrollment

"Can this system be a little more serious!"

Thinking back to the seductive tone the system had used earlier, Yun Xi felt even more helpless.

However, his retort received no response from the system.

Seeing that the system was ignoring him, Yun Xi did not dwell on it too much.

He closed the shop interface and collapsed onto his bed to begin processing everything he had experienced today...

"Good morning, Uncle!"

The next morning, after washing up, Yun Xi headed out, prepared to go to the Ninja Academy.

Along the way, he took the initiative to greet Uncle Heiwa, who was standing by the door.

"You brat, give it your all!"

Uncle Heiwa responded to Yun Xi with a smile, then continued, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"Huh? No need, I can handle it on my own!"

Seeing that Uncle Heiwa actually intended to accompany him to the Ninja Academy, Yun Xi hurriedly refused.

"Alright, then be careful on your way..."

"Yes, I understand."

After bidding farewell to Uncle Heiwa, Yun Xi headed straight toward the Ninja Academy.

Since the civilian district where Yun Xi lived was not far from the Ninja Academy, he arrived at the entrance after a few minutes of walking.

"Are you a new student?"

Just as Yun Xi was trying to find the entrance, a voice filled with kindness suddenly came from behind him.

"Is that Iruka?!"

Yun Xi turned around to see a young man wearing a Konoha flak jacket looking at him with a smile.

Familiar with the plot, Yun Xi naturally recognized this Konoha ninja; he was the first teacher of Naruto and the Konoha 12.

Umino Iruka.

"Hello, Teacher. I am a new student here to report."

Yun Xi didn't actually have a very deep impression of Iruka.

After all, after Shippuden, this character didn't appear frequently, and his presence wasn't very strong.

Yun Xi's deepest impression of him was simply that of an ordinary yet great teacher.

"Haha, then please come with me. I am the teacher for your class."

After confirming Yun Xi's identity, Iruka took the initiative to lead him into the Ninja Academy.

Upon entering the academy, Yun Xi instantly spotted many familiar faces.

The calm and composed Sasuke...

Naruto, who was staying off to the side...

Sakura and Ino, who were like budding flowers.

Finally, he spotted the shy Hinata in a corner.

In addition to Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten, and the others who were a year older than Naruto and his peers.

The current Konoha 12 had all arrived at the Ninja Academy.

Although their faces still looked slightly immature at this stage.

Yun Xi could still easily perceive the difference between them and the commoners.

Ordinary civilian children only came into contact with various ninjutsu training methods after entering the Ninja Academy.

But among the Konoha 12, excluding Sakura, everyone else had already mastered some basic ninjutsu.

Coupled with some family secret techniques, their strength was not to be underestimated.

Among them, the top-tier Sasuke even possessed strength approaching that of a genin before he had even enrolled.

This was the massive gap between the children of Konoha's prestigious clans and the commoners!

"It looks like everyone is here. Let's introduce ourselves."

Just as Yun Xi was observing the crowd, Iruka appeared again.

He held a white file in his hand, his face full of smiles.

"I'll go first! My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and my dream is to become the Hokage!"

Hearing Iruka's words, Naruto was the first to jump out, his expression full of excitement.

"Hey, the Hokage isn't something just anyone can become!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Inuzuka Kiba walked out from the crowd with a small white puppy.

An impatient expression appeared on his face as he continued, "My name is Inuzuka Kiba, and my dream is also to become Hokage!"

"Your face is really asking for a punch!"

Seeing Inuzuka Kiba acting like this, Naruto immediately prepared to strike back.

"Alright, you two settle down; the students behind you still need to introduce themselves."

Seeing this, Iruka stepped in to stop Naruto, speaking to both Inuzuka Kiba and Naruto with a stern expression.

"Yes..."

"Hmph, you, the Son of the Demon Fox, will absolutely never become Hokage!"

Out of respect for Iruka-sensei's authority, Naruto did not continue the argument with Inuzuka Kiba.

However, Inuzuka Kiba spoke his mind directly, without the slightest regard for Naruto's feelings.

"Inuzuka Kiba is going a bit too far..."

Yun Xi had witnessed the entire dispute between the two, and it was clear that even to him, Inuzuka Kiba's final remark was excessive.

Although the fact that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was known to everyone in the village, people generally avoided bringing it up to Naruto's face.

Part of this was due to the lingering deterrent power of the Nine-Tails.

The other reason was the order issued by the Third Hokage.

Although the Third Hokage did not go out of his way to coddle Naruto, it was not hard to see from the later story that the Third Hokage actually looked after Naruto quite well.

Otherwise, Naruto would not have acted so affectionately toward the Lord Hokage at the beginning of the story.

"Inuzuka Kiba, you've gone too far..."

After Inuzuka Kiba finished speaking, he returned directly to his original seat.

Shino Aburame took the initiative to speak up, looking at Inuzuka Kiba with a solemn expression.

"What I said is just the truth..."

Seeing that the students in the classroom had all focused their attention on him, Inuzuka Kiba began to mutter in his own defense.

Naruto did not speak up to defend himself after hearing Inuzuka Kiba's words, but the small gesture of his hands clenching into fists betrayed the anger in his heart.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire classroom became somewhat heavy.

"Inuzuka Kiba isn't wrong, you know. Why are we classmates with the Son of the Demon Fox?"

"Yeah, what if he can't control the Nine-Tails? Wouldn't we all be finished?"

"That actually does seem to make some sense..."

The civilian students gathered together began to voice their own opinions.

Although their voices were not loud, they sounded exceptionally harsh in the unusually quiet classroom...

"You guys..."

As the protagonist of this incident, Naruto naturally heard these words.

Stung by their comments, Naruto's originally indifferent expression turned to one of anger, and he walked toward Inuzuka Kiba with his fists tightly clenched...

"Not good, the Nine-Tails chakra inside Naruto is fluctuating..."

As the person with the highest strength present, Yun Xi naturally noticed that something was wrong immediately.

Before he even had time to call out a warning, Yun Xi took a side step and appeared in front of Naruto.

He placed a hand on Naruto's forehead and said in a slightly joking tone, "A Hokage wouldn't strike his own comrades, you know."

Yun Xi's words immediately helped Naruto's somewhat chaotic mind gradually clear up.

He murmured in a tone of disbelief, "What did you say?"

Naruto's voice trembled, carrying a hint of incredulity...

"I said, a Hokage wouldn't strike his own comrades."

Yun Xi repeated his previous words, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

In truth, Yun Xi had not intended to intervene at first, but to avoid greater trouble later on, he had no choice but to act to prevent Naruto from losing control on his first day of school.

After all, this plot point did not occur in the original story, and Yun Xi was merely trying to avoid a butterfly effect.
