Chapter 9

Hiding the identity of the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails?

Looking at the villagers calling Naruto "demon fox" left and right, it’s as if they’re about to engrave the title of Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails on his forehead!

For the son of a great hero to be treated like this, he really doesn’t know how to express his current feelings.

He also finds it hard to imagine that his son, after being treated like this, can still be so positive and kind.

This makes him unsure whether he should be happy or sad.

As a Hokage, he naturally hopes his son can achieve this level; but as a father, he hopes those who have hurt his son will receive the punishment they deserve.

Fortunately, he is still alive, and everything has the possibility of change.

So he is extremely grateful to the group owner for telling him this important future.

Son of Nature: "That's about it. You guys can chat slowly. I have to go to class now."

Ordinary Group Owner: "........"

Indeed, no matter how many times he sees it, going to school still feels strange.

Bai Xuan doesn’t know how Su Yunqing feels, but the reason he left the chat group is that their homeroom teacher has already come in.

The thirty-minute morning reading time passed unnoticed amidst the students’ “pointing out the country’s problems and stirring up the written word.” Even now, many are still immersed in their fantasies about the future, completely unaware of the homeroom teacher’s arrival.

The homeroom teacher, with slightly thinning hair, didn’t get angry when he saw their state. He leaned against the door, sipping goji berry tea, and watched their performance.

In the past, as the voices gradually quieted down, others would also unconsciously lower their voices until no one was speaking. But today, perhaps because the superpower awakening was too explosive, they were more immersed than before.

Several minutes passed, and no one noticed the change.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

".........."

"Ouch."

"Who threw that? Do you not know how powerful I am?"

"I am the future Fire Elemental Grand Mage. Who dares to throw at me?"

"Wait, this force... Could it be......"

Several chalk pieces were aimed directly at their heads, and the sudden pain made them wake up and angrily look for the "enemy."

Then.......

"Why isn’t anyone talking? Didn’t you want to show me your power?"

"Our future Fire Elemental Grand Mage isn’t talking either. How can a mere homeroom teacher offend you?"

The homeroom teacher said sarcastically, and a few of them scratched their heads awkwardly, quickly sitting up straight.

Nodding slightly, the homeroom teacher took a sip of tea and said:

"I understand your excitement. You’ve awakened superpowers, and I was just as excited as you last night, but......"

"Teacher, did you also awaken?"

Before the homeroom teacher could finish, Sun Qiang asked in disbelief.

It’s one thing for classmates to awaken, but even the teacher?

If they awakened, wouldn’t his parents have also awakened? He had been showing off in front of them this morning.

If they also awakened, wouldn’t he have made a fool of himself again?

"Why are you so dissatisfied that I awakened?"

The homeroom teacher narrowed his eyes at Sun Qiang, with chalk pieces ready in his hand.

"No, no, I’m just a bit surprised, surprised."

Sun Qiang shuddered and quickly laughed it off.

"Please continue, please continue."

The homeroom teacher put down the chalk and continued.

"My awakened superpower is called Locking. The specific explanation is too complicated, but you can think of it like a lock-on in a game. Any attack will target the place I lock onto."

"Damn, lock-on? If you had a gun or a bow, wouldn’t you be invincible in the early stages?"

Hearing about the homeroom teacher’s superpower, which seemed like a cheat, not only the other students but even Bai Xuan couldn’t help but smack his lips.

This power is incredibly strong in the early stages!

Whether using a bow or a gun, combined with this superpower, almost no one can match you.

"Cough, don’t be so surprised. My power also has a distance limit."

"Currently, it’s about seven to eight meters."

The homeroom teacher coughed and explained.

"That makes more sense. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated."

"Really ignoring distance, I could kill from the other side of the Earth, a real-life 'Let the Bullets Fly.'"

"Alright, alright."

Hearing this limitation, the students finally calmed down, but they couldn’t deny that this power was still terrifying.

"Alright, quiet down and listen to me; you’ll have your chance to talk later."

"The country is highly concerned about superpowers, and the school has received orders to conduct relevant investigations and cooperation."

"So, those who have awakened their powers, stand up."

"........."

The students looked left and right, but no one stood up.

Their faces said, "I haven’t awakened any superpowers, don’t look at me."

"Have you watched too many lighthouse movies......"

The homeroom teacher was speechless. He never thought his students would be so "restrained." Weren’t they chatting happily before he came in?

"We are in Huaxia, not a lighthouse. No one will take you for research."

"Besides, with the awakening rate of superpowers, there are plenty of superpowered individuals in the military, and many are willing to be studied. It wouldn’t be your turn."

"You’re all young, but you have so many thoughts."

"Really."

As he spoke, the homeroom teacher almost laughed. The students in his class were truly one more peculiar than the other.

"Alright, alright, I’ll be straightforward."

"Those who have awakened their powers, follow me to the playground to demonstrate your abilities and register."

"This record will be kept, and it can add points to your college entrance exam."

"Don’t think so poorly of your country. Huaxia is the safest country in the world. Have a bit of confidence in your country."

Although they were teased by the homeroom teacher, they weren’t embarrassed.

After all, it concerns their lives, so they have to be cautious.

But it’s just registration......

"Teacher, will the country form a superpower association, like the Avengers or the Dragon Group?"

Zhang Wei Yang said, slightly excited.

"After all, this is a large-scale awakening of powers, not just limited to humans. Wild animals, insects, and plants might also awaken."

"Perhaps in the future, they will compete with us for dominance over Earth."

"The country will definitely form forces to resist, right?"

He was very fascinated by the organizations in novels that secretly protect the country, and for a time, he even frantically searched the internet for these mysterious organizations, but found nothing.

What he found were just things from novels.
