As soon as Teacher Wang finished speaking, the entire class instantly fell silent.
Pairs of curious eyes all focused on Liu Yue.
As the student ranked just below Wang Qiang, Liu Yue had always been someone the whole class looked up to and tried to emulate.
Hearing her name, Liu Yue smiled shyly and said:
"I'm only a little higher level than Wang Qiang—Level 13. I also successfully joined the Hyuga Clan, learned the Eight Trigrams Palm and similar techniques, and I've already fully mastered the Three Basic Techniques."
When the class heard that Liu Yue was actually a full level higher than Wang Qiang, waves of surprised exclamations immediately rang out.
But soon, many students began shaking their heads.
"Even if Liu Yue's level is higher, the Hyuga Clan still can't compare to Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Brothers' clan. What a pity…"
"Yeah, what a pity… In the ninja villages, clan background is extremely important. Even though the Hyuga Clan is Konoha's top clan, their foundation just can't match Kumogakure's."
Many students whispered among themselves, all feeling it was a shame.
Even Teacher Wang shook her head and sighed softly.
"Liu Yue, Konoha is the weakest of the Five Great Villages. Why did you choose Konoha?"
Just as Liu Yue was about to respond, Wang Qiang—who had clearly had the spotlight stolen from him—let out a cold laugh.
"Heh, I bet it was Ning Feng who gave Liu Yue that advice and told her to go to Konoha."
"Everyone knows Konoha is the weakest among the ninja villages. Even their so-called 'Professor of Ninjutsu,' the Third Hokage, is already old and half-dead. That alone shows how badly Konoha's talent pool has declined."
As Wang Qiang spoke, he raised his chin arrogantly, wearing an expression as if a beautiful flower had been stuck into cow dung.
"Wang Qiang, your information is completely wrong!"
Liu Yue snorted coldly.
"After arriving in Konoha, I deliberately looked into it. In several Ninja World Wars, Konoha fought one against four!"
"And you're telling me that kind of village is the weakest?!"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned toward Ning Feng, filled with gratitude.
"If Ning Feng hadn't pointed it out to me and suggested Konoha, I wouldn't have leveled up this fast at all!"
"And once I joined the Hyuga Clan, they provided me with clan teachings and ninjutsu training right away!"
"Meanwhile, students who chose other clans—forget clan inheritance or ninjutsu training—some of them can't even afford to attend the Ninja Academy!"
Once Liu Yue said this, many students were instantly struck right in their sore spots.
After all, not every clan was wealthy like the Hyuga Clan. Many clans were essentially laissez-faire—forget ninjutsu, even beginner equipment had to be obtained on one's own!
Most of the students in the class were exactly like that.
For a moment, countless students all turned to look at Ning Feng.
So Ning Feng was actually this strong!?
He had access to so much hidden information!?
With just a casual suggestion from him, Liu Yue had directly surpassed the rich and powerful Wang Qiang—then how terrifying must Ning Feng himself be!?
"Hmph, Ning Feng probably just guessed right by luck."
Seeing all eyes gather on Ning Feng, Wang Qiang immediately spoke sourly.
"I remember Ning Feng chose the Uchiha Clan when he logged in."
"Konoha is huge, yet the Uchiha clan's massive compound is located on the outskirts of the village. That alone shows their status isn't that high. Liu Yue's progress is just good luck—nothing more."
As soon as those words fell, many students nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, the intel we got before logging in said the Uchiha clan was the weakest in Konoha. The Yamanaka and Akimichi clans were supposedly the strongest."
"In the game, only that Uchiha named Uchiha Feng showed a bit of brilliance. The Uchiha clan as a whole is nothing special…"
"Looks like Ning Feng just got lucky…"
As these words spread, the admiring looks toward Ning Feng noticeably diminished. Most students now believed it was simply luck.
Teacher Wang also shrugged helplessly. She had briefly thought Ning Feng truly possessed deep Naruto knowledge—but it turned out he had just guessed.
"Alright, we'll end today's Naruto theory class here."
"Next is a practical combat class. You'll be divided into groups to train ninjutsu and improve your combat abilities."
"This class—"
Just as Teacher Wang was about to announce the end of class, Wang Qiang chuckled again, unwilling to let things go.
"Teacher Wang, classmates—aren't you all curious about how many levels our bottom-ranked student, Ning Feng, actually gained in Naruto World?"
Wang Qiang had always disliked Ning Feng, and with Liu Yue constantly defending him, his irritation had reached its peak. He wanted to take this chance to humiliate Ning Feng.
"Wang Qiang, that's enough!"
"If you were called last place, would you be happy!?"
"So what if he's last place!? Did he eat your family's rice!?"
Liu Yue immediately snapped back, grabbed Ning Feng's hand, and tried to pull him out of the classroom.
"Ning Feng, don't mind them! In my heart, you're always number one!"
Her hand was soft and fair. When Ning Feng held it, he actually felt a faint electric sensation.
To be honest, Ning Feng had no interest in competing with children over things like levels—it was far too childish.
All he wanted was to level up quietly and efficiently.
But seeing how firmly Liu Yue defended him, Ning Feng could only sigh and decide to reveal a little—at least enough so she wouldn't feel disappointed.
"Since everyone's so curious, I'll just say it."
Ning Feng shrugged casually.
Liu Yue suddenly felt that the boy beside her had changed—his aura subtly shifting, carrying a faint sense of dominance.
Wang Qiang and his lackeys immediately lit up with mocking anticipation, waiting for Ning Feng to embarrass himself.
Most of the class also watched with the mentality of enjoying a show, eager to see whether Ning Feng's level was laughably low.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Wang Qiang."
"Right before I logged out, I was Level 16."
"And I happened to master a few B-rank ninjutsu, plus one or two A-rank ninjutsu, I guess."
Ning Feng was already being extremely low-key.
After all, he couldn't very well say that he had mastered several forbidden techniques and was about to join Konoha's strongest organization—ANBU, could he?
The principle of keeping a low profile while holding great power was something Ning Feng understood well.
However, even with such a restrained statement—
The previously quiet classroom exploded.
"A–A-rank ninjutsu!?"
"Level 16!?"
"H–How is that possible!?"
"Isn't the Uchiha clan supposed to be Konoha's weakest!? How could their starting point be this high!?"
