"Hello, students. My name is Iruka Umino, and from now on, I will be your homeroom teacher."


    As the school bell rang, a young man wearing a green vest walked into the classroom. Standing at the podium, he introduced himself to the students, including Izayoi, and then smiled, saying, "Before we start the lesson, let''s introduce ourselves. We''ll begin with the first student in the leftmost row."


    "I am..."


    "Hello, everyone! My name is Ino Yamanaka. Please take care of me from now on!"


    "My name is Shino Aburame."


    "Sasuke Uchiha."


    "I am the great Naruto Uzumaki! Remember this name—I am the man who will become Hokage!"


    "..."


    Each student introduced themselves in their way, reflecting their unique personalities.


    Among them, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Naruto Uzumaki, whom Iruka still found troublesome.


    Since they had just met, his arrogant introduction hadn''t yet drawn the ridicule of the whole class.


    When it was Hinata''s turn, she spoke softly, stammering, "I... I''m Hinata Hyuga. P-please, take care of me."


    Her shy demeanor stood in stark contrast to the lively and outgoing Ino Yamanaka.


    Fortunately, this was not an ordinary world. Otherwise, such a timid young lady from a prestigious family might have easily been isolated or bullied.


    "Hello, everyone. My name is Izayoi."


    Izayoi stood up and stated his name. It was a simple and straightforward introduction.


    However, his face—just as charming as Sasuke Uchiha''s—naturally attracted the attention of many girls.


    Even though he already knew that the girls in this world matured very early, he still couldn''t help but be surprised by their intense gazes.


    Children here became independent at the age of three, understood love and relationships by five or six, went to war at twelve, and became saviors by sixteen or seventeen... This world was truly absurd.


    Because of this, the title of genius carried immense weight in the Naruto world.


    After the introductions, it was time for a familiar routine: textbook distribution!


    However, upon receiving the books, Izayoi couldn''t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.


    Language and Mathematics—those were expected.


    But Biology, Medicine, and Chemistry? What was this about?


    Suddenly, he understood why children in this world grasped adult matters so early. It seemed that early maturity was just normal here.


    Apart from these books, Iruka also handed each student a scroll.


    Inside was a guide on how to extract chakra.


    "Chakra is a special energy formed by combining the physical energy from the body''s 130 trillion cells and mental energy in a specific ratio. It is the key to becoming a ninja."


    Iruka explained, "The entrance exam was designed to filter out students who meet the necessary standards in both physical and mental energy, giving them a high probability of becoming ninjas."


    "Both academic learning and physical training help enhance these two energies. So, for those who haven''t yet extracted chakra, you must study seriously. Otherwise, when the observation period ends, you will be asked to leave."


    Upon hearing this, some students from ordinary families—who had yet to extract chakra—became visibly nervous.


    No doubt, for a long while, they would strive to be Iruka’s model students.


    Izayoi, however, didn''t bother to reassure them.


    They were overthinking it.


    Even though the school didn''t officially divide students into elite classes and lower-ranked classes, those who made it into Class 1 of Year 1 were either children from ninja clans or exceptionally talented civilians.


    With just a glance, Izayoi could see that every student had at least white-tier potential, and quite a few had green-tier Chunin potential.


    This meant that even if they failed the graduation exam, they would still have the strength of a Genin in the future. Those with green-tier potential would almost certainly become Chunin as long as they didn’t die prematurely.


    For students like Ino Yamanaka, who came from a ninja family, their potential was blue-tier (Jonin-level).


    However, one thing caught Izayoi''s attention—Sakura Haruno’s ninja potential.


    Her potential was only green-tier (Chunin-level).


    Yet, strangely, her chakra control talent was at an extremely high "Kekkei Genkai" level (purple-tier).


    With such an advanced chakra control talent, her future should have been much brighter. And yet, her potential was capped at the Chunin level.


    It was just like Hinata, who had the "Princess of the Byakugan" title in red-tier, yet her ninja potential was only blue-tier (Jonin-level).


    Without changing her fate, Sakura would never have surpassed the Chunin level.


    But if she defied fate, she could become one of the Legendary Three Ninjas of the New Generation.


    After distributing the textbooks and scrolls, Iruka didn’t give the students any time to relax—classes began immediately.


    Mornings were for academic subjects, and afternoons were for physical education.


    In physical education, aside from basic physical training, they were given stones to practice throwing techniques.


    Skills like the Three Basic Jutsu (Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and Substitution Jutsu), Body Flicker Jutsu, Invisibility Jutsu, kunai, and shuriken techniques were not taught yet.


    Even taijutsu sparring was absent.


    The first semester of the first year was dedicated to building a strong foundation in knowledge and physical fitness.


    At first, Izayoi participated in these activities. But when he realized there wouldn’t be any taijutsu sparring, he decided to stop attending in person.


    Having acquired the ōtsutsuki bloodline at the age of three, Izayoi’s chakra reserves were already immense.


    Compared to him, Naruto—who had yet to extract chakra—was nothing. Even Kakashi, who could use Multiple Shadow Clones at age five or six, was far behind.


    Izayoi’s Shadow Clones lasted longer and were far more resilient than Itachi Uchiha’s.


    Thus, he simply sent a Shadow Clone to attend school while his real body, using Transformation Jutsu, disguised himself as a teenager and headed to an abandoned training ground to practice ninjutsu.


    "Wind Release: Gale Palm!"


    Standing in an open field, Izayoi pretended to perform hand seals. He then compressed wind chakra into his palm, forming a cyclone before releasing it in a violent gust, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    Yes, pretended.


    Because Izayoi didn’t need hand seals at all.


    To be precise, aside from supportive jutsu like the Three Basic Jutsu and Shadow Clone Jutsu, he could perform all five nature transformations without hand seals.


    Without a doubt, not all red-tier talents are equal.


    His ōtsutsuki bloodline (red-tier) was even superior to Sage Body, Sage Eyes, and the Hyuga Princess’s Byakugan.


    Not only did he have immense chakra reserves, but his ninjutsu talent was also extraordinary—just like the ōtsutsuki clan members before Indra invented hand seals, he could use all five elemental jutsu without them.


    Even Hashirama Senju had to clap his hands to activate jutsu.


    But Izayoi didn’t need to.


    This wasn’t just an overwhelmingly powerful ninjutsu talent—it was a trump card.


    While enemies were expecting him to form hand seals, he could instantly unleash a jutsu, catching them completely off guard.
