"Hello, students. I'm Umino Iruka. From now on, I'll be your homeroom teacher."
As the bell rang for class, a young man wearing a green vest walked into the classroom. He introduced himself to Izayoi and the others at the podium, then smiled and said, "Before class starts, let's all introduce ourselves. Let's begin with the first student in the left row."
"My name is…"
"Hello, everyone. I'm Yamanaka Ino. Please take care of me from now on."
"I'm Aburame Shino."
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"This great me is Uzumaki Naruto! Remember this name! I'm the man who will become Hokage!"
"..."
Everyone's self-introduction was different, showing off their personalities.
Among them, the most eye-catching was Uzumaki Naruto, who was still disliked by Umino Iruka.
Since they had only just met, his arrogant self-introduction didn't get laughed at by the whole class.
When it was Hinata's turn, she said shyly and with a stutter, "I… I'm Hyuga Hinata, pl-please take care of me."
Her shy appearance formed a strong contrast with the lively and cheerful Yamanaka Ino.
Luckily, this isn't an ordinary world. Otherwise, such a shy young lady from a rich family might easily be isolated or bullied.
"Hello everyone, I'm Izayoi."
Izayoi stood up and said his name—a very ordinary self-introduction.
However, that adorable face, which was just as cute as Uchiha Sasuke's, still caught the attention of quite a few girls.
Even though he already knew that the girls in this world mature very early, Izayoi couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly when he felt those burning gazes.
Living independently at age three, understanding love and emotions at five or six, going to war before turning twelve, and becoming a savior at sixteen or seventeen… this world really is outrageous.
Because of this, the title of "genius" carries a lot of weight in the Naruto world.
After the self-introductions, it was time for something Izayoi was familiar with—
Distributing books!
But after receiving the textbooks, Izayoi's mouth couldn't help but twitch a little.
Language and math? Those were normal.
But what the heck were biology, medicine, and chemistry doing here?
Izayoi suddenly understood. No wonder the kids in this world understood love so early—turns out, early maturity was completely normal.
Besides the textbooks, Umino Iruka also handed out a scroll to each student.
Inside the scroll was a method to extract chakra.
"Chakra is a special energy formed by combining physical energy from the body's 130 trillion cells and spiritual energy in a certain ratio. It's the key to becoming a ninja."
Umino Iruka explained, "The entrance exam was to filter students whose spiritual and physical energies are both up to standard, giving them a high chance of becoming ninjas."
"Studying and physical training both help improve these two types of energy, so for those of you who haven't extracted chakra yet, you need to study seriously. Otherwise, once the observation period ends, you'll be advised to leave."
Hearing this, some students from ordinary families who hadn't extracted chakra yet immediately became nervous.
It was clear they'd become Iruka's favorite good students for quite some time.
Izayoi didn't bother to tell them—they were overthinking it.
Even though the school didn't officially divide students into honors and lower classes, the ones who could enter Class 1 of Grade 1 were either from ninja clans or had excellent talent among civilians.
Just one glance around, and Izayoi saw that every classmate had at least a white starting talent bar. Quite a few even had green bars for chunin-level potential.
That meant even if they couldn't pass the graduation exam, they'd still reach genin level in the future.
As for the green-tagged students—if they didn't die early, they'd definitely become chunin someday.
People like Yamanaka Ino from ninja clans all had blue bars for jounin-level potential.
But what really caught Izayoi's attention was Haruno Sakura's ninja potential.
Because her ninja potential was actually only green—chunin level.
And yet, her talent bar for chakra control had reached a purple level that matched kekkei genkai.
With such high-level chakra control talent, her future achievement was still only chunin.
It was just like Hinata, whose white eye (Byakugan) as a princess had a red bar, but her potential was only jounin.
Without defying her destiny, Haruno Sakura's limit would be chunin.
If she successfully changed her fate, then she could become one of the new generation's Legendary Three Ninjas.

After the books and scrolls were handed out, Iruka didn't give Izayoi and the others any time to relax. He went straight into class.
In the morning, it was general education. In the afternoon, it was physical training.
Besides training the body, the PE class also included giving students stones to practice throwing techniques.
Things like the Three Basic Jutsu (Clone, Transformation, and Substitution), Body Flicker Technique, Invisibility, or kunai and shuriken training—none of those were taught yet.
Not even taijutsu combat was included.
Clearly, the first semester of Grade 1 was all about building a solid foundation in knowledge and fitness.
At first, Izayoi still attended class, but when he saw there wouldn't be any taijutsu combat, he stopped letting his real body go to ninja school.
Izayoi, who had obtained the Otsutsuki bloodline at age three, now had an outrageous amount of chakra. Not to mention the current chakra-less Naruto, even Kakashi—who could already perform Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu at five or six years old in the original story—couldn't compare.
His shadow clones lasted longer and were tougher than Uchiha Itachi's.
Letting a shadow clone go to class for him, Izayoi's real body used Transformation Jutsu to turn into a teenage boy and went to an abandoned training field to practice ninjutsu.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!"
In the open field, Izayoi made hand signs in a fake, exaggerated way. He compressed wind chakra into his palm, forming a vortex, then slammed it forward. It turned into a violent gust, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Yes—exaggerated hand signs.
Because Izayoi didn't need hand signs to use ninjutsu.
To be precise, except for support jutsu like the Three Basic Jutsu and Shadow Clone Jutsu, Izayoi didn't need hand signs to perform any of the five elemental jutsu.
Without a doubt, even red-level talent bars had differences.
And the Otsutsuki bloodline's red bar was even more advanced than the Sage Body, Sage Eyes, or even Hinata's red-tier Byakugan.
Not only was his chakra ridiculous, but his ninjutsu talent was also overwhelming—just like the ancient Otsutsuki clan members before Indra invented hand signs. He could use the five elemental styles without needing to form seals.
Even Hashirama had to clap his hands and shout to activate techniques, but Izayoi didn't need any of that.
This wasn't just an insanely strong ninjutsu talent—this was also a trump card.
When enemies think he's still making hand signs, if he suddenly unleashes a jutsu, he'll definitely catch them completely off guard.
