Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Iruka said in a deep voice, "Since you know you lack talent, you should work even harder!"

"Does skipping class and playing pranks every day make you stronger?!"

Naruto Uzumaki was also stunned.

He actually knew that Iruka-sensei was genuinely doing it for his own good.

but……

"Teacher Iruka, I really, really tried my best!"

"Maybe, I really am just too stupid..."

"I was born to be a loser..."

Iruka took a deep breath and gently patted his head.

"No, Naruto, I know you have potential and you can definitely become better."

"I know you're trying, but I hope you can try a little harder and be a little more diligent. Maybe then things will change..."

Naruto looked up and stared blankly at Iruka.

"Will hard work always make you stronger?"

Iruka's expression changed slightly.

He didn't want to lie to Naruto.

"Actually, in this ninja world, hard work doesn't always guarantee a reward, but..."

"If you don't try, there's no hope at all."

Naruto Uzumaki seemed to understand but not quite, but he still clenched his fist.

"Okay, Iruka-sensei, I'll do my best!"

Umino Iruka smiled slightly, patted his head again, and said softly.

"I believe in you, Naruto."

Naruto felt a lump in his throat, and tears welled up in his eyes...

Teacher Iruka...

He is the only person in the world who truly accepts himself...

he……

I really don't want to disappoint Iruka-sensei...

"I understand, Teacher Iruka!"

"From today onwards, I will put in ten times, a hundred times the effort!"

"I will never let you down!"

Right now.

[Naruto Uzumaki, your determination to become stronger through sheer willpower has been detected. The Hokage System is now loading...]

【three……】

【two……】

【one! 】

[Binding successful! 】

[The Naruto schedule is being generated...]

Naruto was stunned.

"Roll...roll it up into the Naruto System?"

"What the hell is that?!"

Chapter 2: The Baptism of Lightning Release!

Naruto Uzumaki, who had returned to the Ninja Academy, remained unusually silent.

He was terrified by the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.

He originally wanted to ask Iruka-sensei, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say anything about the "system".

It was as if the system had completely blocked him.

"Um……"

Naruto Uzumaki sat in his chair, arms crossed, head bowed, eyes narrowed as he pondered the changes in his body.

"What exactly is a system?"

He couldn't help but scratch his head and ask.

A cold, mechanical voice immediately came to mind.

A system is a program that helps a host achieve a certain wish. As long as the host acts according to the system's rules, they can obtain unimaginably generous rewards.

[This system is called the "Roll into Hokage System." As the name suggests, it can help the host to roll up and defeat others, thus realizing the dream of becoming Hokage as soon as possible.]

Naruto didn't understand much of what else was said, but the phrase "realize your dream of becoming Hokage as soon as possible" was like a lamp that instantly lit up his mind!

"Sorry! Does that mean you can help me become Hokage?!"

【Yes. 】

"Great! Then, I'll definitely do as you say! But, what should I do?"

Naruto was overjoyed, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

The host only needs to cultivate according to the schedule set by this system.

"It's that simple?"

【Yes. 】

"That easy?"

【Yes. 】

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's get started!"

【Yes. 】

[Host has officially activated this system. Current attributes are being scanned. The first schedule has been successfully generated based on the current attributes. The cultivation assistance system has officially started...]

[The system has detected that the host is currently in the academic learning phase of their schedule.]

[Please concentrate all your energy and focus your attention on listening to and understanding all the knowledge content.]

[Any violation will result in a baptism of lightning from this system.]

Naruto Uzumaki: "...A baptism of lightning?"

"what is that?"

The next moment.

Rumbling--

boom!

Lightning Release power appeared out of thin air, suddenly erupted, and slammed into Naruto!

The intense pain and stimulation caused Naruto Uzumaki to immediately burst into a hysterical scream!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

However, the so-called "baptism of lightning" cannot be seen by others.

So all the teachers and students in the classroom saw was Naruto suddenly screaming like a madman.

Teacher Iruka, who was teaching a class, couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Naruto! What's gotten into you now?!"

Naruto was charred and burned by the electric shock, but he couldn't complain. He could only slump in his chair and shake his head in despair.

"No...nothing..."

Teacher Iruka couldn't help but facepalm.

"Naruto, I'm giving you one more chance. If you continue to shout and disrupt the class, don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out to stand as punishment!"

Normally, Naruto would not have thought much of it.

Standing as punishment is fine, at least I don't have to listen to this boring class anymore!

Sometimes, you might even run into Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara, those two, and "share the joys and sorrows" together...

For Naruto, those two were his rare companions.

The best source of male friendship might be making mistakes and being punished together...

Sometimes, Naruto even suspected that Iruka-sensei was deliberately making the three of them stand together as punishment so that he would have a chance to make friends...

But now, Naruto dared not refute Iruka-sensei at all, because...

Being punished by standing in the corner undoubtedly means that you were not "fully focused on the lesson"!

I'm afraid the "baptism of lightning" will descend immediately!

Naruto Uzumaki had just suffered a terrible ordeal and absolutely didn't want to experience it again...

"Yes, Teacher Iruka! I will definitely listen carefully in class!"

Teacher Iruka was taken aback.

"Why is Naruto acting so strangely today?"

"He usually argues with me without a care in the world..."

However, for Iruka, this is ultimately a good thing.

"Could it be that what I said just now finally had an effect?"

Iruka nodded with satisfaction, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

The other students, however, frowned.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Naruto casually, his face expressionless, but he was somewhat puzzled.

Sakura Haruno didn't seem to care, and simply continued to stare at Sasuke while resting her chin on her hand.

Choji Akimichi, who was secretly taking out French fries from his desk and quietly stuffing them into his mouth, was also taken aback.

"Shikamaru, what's wrong with Naruto?"

"Have you changed your gender?"

However, Nara Shikamaru was already asleep.

Choji Akimichi glanced at it, shook his head helplessly, then stuffed another fries into his mouth and ate them quietly.

……

Naruto Uzumaki was panting heavily.

"Concentrate, concentrate..."

"Damn it! How can I ever concentrate?!"

However, the system did not provide any prompts, and simply remained mechanically cold.

[Host, please listen attentively and learn carefully, otherwise you will be subjected to a baptism of lightning from the system...]

[Warning, countdown 5...4...3...]

"Ahhh, I get it!"

"Don't baptize me anymore!"

Naruto frantically rubbed his hair with both hands, forcing himself to widen his eyes and stare intently at what Iruka-sensei was writing on the blackboard...

"The trajectory of a shuriken is a typical parabola."
