Naruto: Strongest Shinobi System With a Glitch

Sasuke, after awakening his Two-Tomoe Sharingan, undoubtedly became an absolute monster at the academy level.

But he encountered Yakumo, whose stats and genius surpassed his.

At the beginning of the battle, Sasuke immediately released Genjutsu: Shiranui through his Sharingan.

Yakumo, on the other hand, bypassed Genjutsu Creation and directly used Terrifying Illusion.

The intangible illusion unfolded.

Yakumo's face showed surprise.

because Sasuke, just like before, was pulled into the illusion.

Although he had indeed become much stronger, he still hadn't surpassed her in genjutsu.

Time slowly passed.

The illusion was dispelled by Yakumo.

Sasuke, pale-faced, slumped to the ground.

After being drawn into the illusion, he was trapped in endless fighting, eventually being released utterly exhausted.

Sasuke stared blankly at Yakumo.

Hadn't he already awakened his Two-Tomoe Sharingan?

Why couldn't he still defeat her?

What exactly went wrong?

The joy of awakening his Two-Tomoe Sharingan vanished without a trace at this moment.

His confident words before the battle turned into sharp swords piercing him; he was now ashamed, embarrassed, and wanted to flee.

He wondered how his father and brother would view him.

As a proud Uchiha, he had actually lost two matches in the practical exam.

Sasuke fell into a state of self-isolation.

He stood up and silently left the arena.

"Winner, Yakumo Kurama."

Kitazawa announced.

"Yakumo's Bloodline Limit is truly terrifying."

Hiruzen commented, "At such a young age, her genjutsu skill is already on par with a Jonin specializing in genjutsu."

"She still has potential to grow."

Tsunade said casually.

She understood Yakumo better than Hiruzen.

After all, she was Yakumo's primary medical ninja.

"When she grows up, perhaps—"

Hiruzen paused, not explicitly mentioning Mangekyo Sharingan.

After all, there were many ninja around them.

With Hiruzen's strength, he wasn't afraid of the Uchiha Clan, but the Mangekyo Sharingan was full of uncertainties.

When he learned of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan's power, even he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Kotoamatsukami could silently alter a target's subconscious.

Would Shisui use it on them?

"Tsunade, it's a good thing you returned to the village; otherwise, Konoha Village would have lost a powerful genjutsu user." Hiruzen said with relief.

The future Yakumo could undoubtedly become a genjutsu master of Mangekyo Sharingan level.

Most importantly, her emotions were more stable and controllable than those of the Uchiha Clan's ninja, and with the relationship between Kitazawa and Tsunade, Yakumo was not only obedient to Konoha Village but also extremely loyal.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

She returned to the village for the Psychological Medical Ninja System and the funds allocated by Konoha Village.

"It's fine, Kitazawa's credit is your credit."

Hiruzen said with a chuckle, "Besides, you truly were the one who cured Yakumo's body."

The Ninja World highly values the teacher-student relationship; it can be said that the honor and disgrace of teachers and students are intertwined.

"Just speak plainly, why are you beating around the bush?"

Tsunade snorted, asking with dissatisfaction.

She had heard the hidden meaning in Hiruzen's words.

It was nothing more than him urging her to quickly decide to take Kitazawa as a student.

"Everything I said is true."

Hiruzen didn't mind her attitude and said with a smile.

Not far away.

"No wonder the Kurama Clan used to be as famous as our Uchiha."

Although Fugaku had heard Sasuke mention Yakumo before, he hadn't paid attention at the time.

Now that he saw her, she far exceeded his expectations.

"But there are pros and cons."

Itachi nodded and said, "The Kurama Clan's Bloodline Limit is too strong in the early stages, making it difficult to awaken."

"That's why our Uchiha Clan is now the largest ninja clan in Konoha Village."

Fugaku smiled faintly, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Unlike the Kurama Clan's Bloodline Limit, the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan can slowly upgrade, all the way to Mangekyo Sharingan.

During this process, the body and mind are matched.

Situations like Yakumo's, where a strong mental power leads to a weak body, are rare.

"Why are there so many geniuses in First Year Class A?"

Mikoto felt heartache watching the self-isolating Sasuke.

His strength should have easily placed him first in the Ninja Academy.

"It's because Kitazawa-sensei teaches well."

Itachi thought for a moment and said, "Even Sasuke's strength has been rapidly improving since he met Kitazawa-sensei."

"That's good too."

Fugaku said calmly, "Pressure creates motivation."

He wasn't disappointed by Sasuke's two consecutive losses.

After all, the losses were understandable.

Moreover, Sasuke awakened his Two-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of seven, and his future was limitless; what more could he be dissatisfied with?

"The third match of the third round, Shino Aburame versus Kiba Inuzuka."

Kitazawa waited for Sasuke and Yakumo to leave the arena, then drew two more small slips of paper from the lottery box.

Since the Student Council selection practical exam wasn't over yet, he wasn't in a hurry to find Sasuke.

"Kiba, huh?"

Shino adjusted his glasses, deep in thought.

His first reaction was whether he could use explosive kikaichu against Kiba Inuzuka's Shadow Clone.

If so, without the Shadow Clone, he wouldn't be able to merge into a Hellhound.

Even if he could merge, it would be a merger with Kikaichu.

But on second thought, it wasn't necessary.

After all, a Shadow Clone's explosion, upon returning to the main body, would also cause mental trauma.

"Watch out, Shino!"

Kiba said confidently.

"Let's begin."

Shino said calmly.

"Merge!"

Kiba Inuzuka shouted, colliding with his Shadow Clone.

The chakra merged into one, and from the smoke, a fierce two-headed dog appeared.

Shino Aburame raised his hands.

Countless Kikaichu flew out, gathering in an instant, like a dark cloud.

The two-headed dog unhesitatingly raised its giant paw and swatted it out.

Bang!

More than half of the Kikaichu were crushed or stunned.

But the remaining Kikaichu clung to its paw and climbed up its arm.

Kiba felt his scalp tingle.

The two-headed dog suddenly shook its arm, flinging a large number of Kikaichu away.

Secret Jutsu: Insect Gathering!

Shino Aburame formed hand signs.

All the nearby insects were summoned, mixing with the Kikaichu, and swarming towards the two-headed dog.

"So annoying!"

Kiba gritted his teeth, not bothering to deal with these small and pesky insects.

The two-headed dog leaped, instantly closing the distance to Shino.

Once in front, it swiped.

Its sharp claws pierced towards Shino like a kunai.

Secret Jutsu: Insect Wall!

Shino had anticipated this.

Kikaichu flew and swirled in front of him, forming a black shield.

Boom!

The insect wall trembled violently twice.

The immense force caused the insect wall to break in the middle.

But the insect wall wasn't a real wall; the moment a gap appeared, Shino filled it with Kikaichu.

Secret Jutsu: Insect Cocoon!

More Kikaichu poured out from Shino Aburame's body.

Under his control, they rapidly climbed up the two-headed dog's arm.

By the time Kiba reacted, his right arm, or rather the two-headed dog's right foreleg, was already completely covered in Kikaichu.

His heart tightened, and just as he was about to shake off these Kikaichu, he felt a biting pain from his right foreleg.

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cry out.

The two-headed dog instantly became a real dog, shaking its entire body.

Many Kikaichu were shaken off, stunned.

Secret Jutsu: Insect Cocoon!

Shino stood in place, continuing to create Kikaichu with his Chakra.

Kiba had lost the initiative.

No matter how much the two-headed dog struggled, the Kikaichu on its body only increased.

"I give up!"

Kiba said urgently, "Quickly get your insects off me!"

Shino, hearing this, waved his hands and recalled the Kikaichu.

"Shino, your insects are truly—troublesome."

Kiba dispelled his merged state, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

He originally wanted to say that the insects were disgusting, but since they were classmates, there was no need to be so blunt.

"Your Hellhound is very good, it just lacks some offensive techniques."

Shino nodded slightly and said.

"You're right, so I plan to ask Kitazawa-sensei for help during the winter break."

Kiba clenched his fists and said, "By next semester, it won't be so easy for you to defeat me!"

Although his personality wasn't as laid-back as Shikamaru's, he was still very playful.

However, Naruto's increased strength had stimulated him.

If he didn't catch up quickly, he would have to treat Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen after every monthly exam.

That would be too embarrassing.

Shino paused.

Reminded by Kiba, he remembered his Kikaichu mutation plan.

He wondered if it could start during the winter break.

"Winner, Shino Aburame."

Kitazawa announced promptly.

"Let's go."

Kiba casually put his arm around Shino Aburame.

The two walked off the stage.

Kiba was very satisfied with his performance.

Although he didn't win, he had made a name for himself with his Hellhound.

"The fourth match of the third round, Uzumaki Naruto versus Hyuga Neji."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Neji hadn't triggered a new mission in a long time.

Although Kitazawa didn't know if Naruto could help him trigger one, there was no great loss in trying.

"Me against Naruto?"

Neji was a little surprised to hear that.

The opponent he most wanted to face was Sasuke.

He had been bothered by his careless loss to Sasuke's Genjutsu before.

But no matter how many practical tests there were, he never encountered him.

Even in the third round of the Student Council selection practical, he still hadn't met Sasuke.

However, Naruto was close enough.

After all, he had just defeated Sasuke.

Neji walked onto the stage with a solemn expression.

He wasn't confident he could defeat Uzumaki Naruto.

Both the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan were very tricky.

But—there was a chance.

As long as he got close, Byakugan plus Gentle Fist would be invincible.

"Who do you think will win?"

Ino asked curiously.

"I think it's Naruto."

Kiba exclaimed, "Rasengan is the Ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage-sama!"

"Not necessarily. The power of Gentle Fist lies in sealing Chakra. Even if Naruto learns more Ninjutsu, he won't be able to use them."

Shikamaru shook his head and said.

"That's true."

Kiba couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He said with interest, "This match definitely won't be worse than Sasuke's—mmm, mmm, mmm."

Before he could finish, Shikamaru covered his mouth.

Kiba instinctively glared at him but quickly understood.

His gaze fell on Sasuke, who was emanating a chilling aura not far away.

He had been like that ever since he left the stage.

Standing silently in place.

No matter how Sakura tried to talk to him, Sasuke ignored her.

"Neji, he..."

Shino was interrupted mid-sentence.

"Neji won't lose!"

Tenten said decisively.

Lee scratched his head.

He didn't know who to support.

"Gentle Fist, huh? That's a bit troublesome."

Hiruzen frowned slightly.

He hoped Naruto would win and was thinking from his perspective.

"Maybe Kitazawa taught Naruto how to deal with it."

Tsunade watched Naruto with interest.

"Hmm."

Hiruzen nodded, said nothing more, and watched the match.

"Here I come, Neji!"

Naruto formed hand signs loudly and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In an instant, thirty Shadow Clones appeared.

Neji immediately took a Gentle Fist stance.

But just then, the thirty Shadow Clones scattered, dividing into three teams.

Hyuga Neji's pupils suddenly contracted, sensing trouble.

He hadn't expected Uzumaki Naruto to use Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and kunai throwing right from the start.

Swish, swish sounds rang out.

The first team of Shadow Clones threw twenty kunai first.

Neji dodged to the left without hesitation.

But as soon as he landed, he was met with kunai thrown by the second team of Shadow Clones.

Neji quickly started coating his hands with chakra, swiftly batting away the kunai in front of him.

The moment it took effect, he immediately retreated.

The kunai thrown by the third team of Shadow Clones missed.

Neji took a deep breath, his body suddenly accelerating as he rushed towards Uzumaki Naruto.

Although he didn't have the Shadow Clone Jutsu and couldn't break through three points like Sasuke, he had Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

Byakugan gave him an all-around view, and Gentle Fist could bat away kunai.

Neji quickly approached Naruto amidst a shower of kunai.

"So powerful!"

Naruto exclaimed, then charged forward, "Leaf Whirlwind!"

Neji couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He liked Naruto's reckless fighting style because it could be countered by him.

But he still didn't let down his guard.

After all, Naruto had shown a certain level of combat intelligence in his fight with Sasuke.

Neji extended both palms, hitting Naruto's right foot.

His body skidded back involuntarily.

Naruto's strength exceeded his expectations.

But it no longer mattered.

Because Neji took this opportunity to seal two Chakra points in his right leg.

Naruto felt a numbness in his right leg.

He instinctively retracted his right leg, and due to the irregular flow of Chakra, he stumbled.

Seeing this, Neji was about to press his advantage, but just then, a whooshing sound came from behind him.

"Dynamic Entry!"

Naruto's Shadow Clone leaped into the air, kicking towards him.

Hyuga Neji quickly turned around and struck at him, "Leaf Double Whirlwind!"

Two Shadow Clones followed closely, one on the left and one on the right.

Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Neji inwardly cursed the trouble and swiftly unleashed six consecutive palm strikes.

The three Shadow Clones were all sent flying backward.

Neji didn't have time to catch his breath before more Shadow Clones came at him.

Helplessly, he could only dodge while counterattacking.

Although he was bare-handed, the unique nature of Gentle Fist's point striking allowed him to display an invincible aura.

Naruto's Shadow Clones often fell to the ground after enduring two or three palm strikes.

However, competing with Naruto in Chakra was clearly unwise.

Neji, with his Byakugan, searched for Naruto's main body. Although Byakugan couldn't see through Shadow Clones, he quickly found his target.

Because Naruto had two chakra points sealed earlier, his movements were more noticeable than usual.

Once Hyuga Neji found his target, he no longer hesitated and rushed in front of Uzumaki Naruto.

He unleashed twelve palm strikes in one breath.

Naruto felt his body sway and then fell to the ground.

But his Shadow Clones were simply too numerous.

The opportunity Neji had painstakingly seized was immediately ruined by the Shadow Clones.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Naruto had already been hit.

He only needed to get close to him one more time.

And most importantly, after sealing the chakra, Naruto could no longer create more Shadow Clones.

This would be his victory!

Thinking of this, Neji couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Rasengan!"

Just then, Naruto's voice came from behind Neji.

Not good!

Neji instinctively turned his head and saw Uzumaki Naruto holding a Rasengan, charging towards him.

What's going on?

Was I tricked?

Was that Naruto, not the main body?

Neji thought of many things in an instant.

But it was too late to use Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms now, so he could only dodge to the left.

But Naruto's Shadow Clones didn't give him a chance.

Two Shadow Clones stepped forward, blocking his path.

But with this delay, the Rasengan, with undiminished momentum, slammed towards him.

Neji couldn't help but freeze.

Kitazawa instantly appeared in front of him and, with a casual push, made him avoid the Rasengan's attack.

The Rasengan hit the ground, creating another deep crater.

Neji reacted, instinctively clenching his fists.

Was this still that Naruto?

But a loss was a loss, there was no arguing it.

Neji felt unwilling.

In the past, relying on his talent and hard work, he was arrogant and earned the name of a genius.

But now, he was repeatedly defeated by other geniuses.

The huge disparity made it difficult for him to accept. "Winner, Uzumaki Naruto."

Kitazawa glanced at Neji.

From his expression, this match had clearly been effective.

Kitazawa had actually only said one thing to Uzumaki Naruto: Byakugan couldn't see through Shadow Clones.

Naruto could come up with many ideas with just a little thought.

"Naruto did well!"

Hiruzen's old face was beaming with joy.

The current Uzumaki Naruto finally had a bit of Minato's demeanor.
