When the line he had just spoken was the first time uttered in his previous life, Yuta knew he would be embarrassed by it in the future. Still, as he quietly walked away from the stage and heard the crowd's laughter around him, he never imagined that it would embarrass him even after reincarnation.

Yuta's sudden praise of his own beauty made the crowd laugh, while some little girls thought Yuta was cool and asked Shizune to introduce them to Yuta.

Of course, Yuta was oblivious to these girls, staring at the floor as much as possible and wondering why the distance to his seat was so far away. Yuta had already admitted that he was socially dead.

When Danzo turned to Hiruzen to tell him what he thought of Yuta's talent, he saw him suddenly start laughing. The anbu ninjas were surprised to hear Sarutobi Hiruzen laughing out loud.

The Hokage, who was always smiling in Naruto's time, hadn't smiled much since the second shinobi war. Especially the sudden onset of the third shinobi war had ended the small smiles that had sometimes appeared on Hiruzen's face.

When Danzo saw his old friend smiling like that, he thought that he was getting senile and stopped giving his thoughts. He had to get to the Hokage seat as quickly as possible and then everything would be easier. He could bring Yuta into the roots with one order and he could help Tsunade return to the battlefield. He needed only one thing - that position - to make Konoha great again.

As Danzo continued to brainwash himself, Hiruzen turned to his subordinates and told them the reason for his laughter. "Look how the villagers are laughing. It is like they have forgotten about the battle outside."

Hiruzen had not seen the villagers so happy since the death of the first Hokage, so today his tolerance for Yuta had risen to a whole new level. Now, even if it turned out that Yuta was really a spy, Hiruzen decided to imprison him in the best possible prison conditions.

What Yuta had just said had already become a meme among the villagers. One villager turned to his orange-haired friend sitting next to him and said, "Do you know how much I owe your market?"

The orange-haired man turned to his friend and replied. "This is not the time to talk about it, we are friends, you can pay this debt when you have money, now focus on the competition."

"I will not pay that debt."

As the orange-haired man looked at his friend as if he was serious, his friend continued to speak. "Nazenara, warawa ga... utsukushii kara!"

The orange-haired man started laughing when he heard his friend say these words as he flicked back the last two hairs on his head. He almost thought he was serious and felt sorry for his friend for thinking about debts even at this time. After laughing enough, he decided to join in the joke. "No."

Thinking that his orange-haired friend was taking him seriously, the man immediately tried to explain the joke, but his friend kept talking and interrupted him.

"I'm not talking about the debt, don't pay it if you want, what I'm talking about is; that you are not beautiful, my man. Wake up"

When the man heard his orange-haired friend making fun of him, he suddenly began to sulk. His friend's good looks had already caused him to lose many of the girls he had been attracted to as a boy, and now to have his friend publicly calling him ugly was too much.

Meanwhile, the villagers in the vicinity had heard the joke and were laughing loudly at his sulking. When the orange-haired man saw his friend's expression, he ignored the fact that they were almost forty years old, hugged his friend, and apologized.

"I will not pay that debt"

"Just forgive me! The debt doesn't matter."

Everyone thought the situation had ended in a very romantic way until two women sitting right behind the two men became jealous of their behavior and lifted their bags to hit them on the head...

______________________________

With Ensui's elimination, there were twenty-two people left. After one last round of eliminations, eleven will be left.

Six will face off in the semi-finals after someone skips the quarter-finals by lottery. When there are only three left, the finals will begin. This was Hiruzen's own decision. It would be a three-way battle with no limitations.

Maybe two of the three would agree among themselves and attack the only one left and try to eliminate him first. At the moment, Yuta was definitely the one who attracted the most attention with his unknown techniques. If the final was not going to be fought by two boys from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans who despised each other, it would definitely have to be a one vs two battle.

Thinking about this, Hiruzen looked at the remaining students and saw that there were only two Hyuga children left.

When one of the Anbus saw the Hokage's hand signal, he immediately appeared at his side and listened to the orders.

When Tsunade heard that the draws would be manipulated so that Yuta would have to face two Hyuga clansmen in a row, she wanted to protest, but before she could open her mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to speak as if he understood what she was thinking.

"Calm down, Tsunade! I already told you that the outcome of this battle is not important, I just want to see more of Yuta's taijutsu skills. Besides, haven't you noticed that the red chakra he uses to cover his fists is similar to the techniques of the Hyuga clan? Maybe Yuta has unknowingly developed a taijutsu skill of his own, similar to the technique that the Hyuga clan has spent generations to developing. If he really has such a skill at his age, he needs special training."

At these words, Tsunade gave up protesting, but she did not forget to leave one last threat behind. "I hope you're not fooling me, old monkey, or I'll punch your face."

Morino Ibiki saw both his students return to their classmates with their heads bowed. After ignoring Yuta's embarrassed bow and speaking a few words of comfort to Ensui, he looked to see how many of his classmates had not been eliminated from the competition.

With the last round, all the students except Obito, Kakashi, and Yuta were eliminated. If he wanted to win the bonus as a first-year teacher, at least one of his students would have to make it to the quarter-finals.

So far, Kakashi and Yuta have been the only ones who have given him hope. Obito had already almost lost the previous one against a civilian ninja. Of course, considering that the civilian ninja Obito faced was a third-year student, he still performed quite well. Only his performance was not as spectacular as that of Kakashi, who defeated a fourth-year student in a few seconds.

Ibiki didn't know what to think when he looked at Yuta. Yuta had never put on an eye-catching performance since he joined the class, but that could also be because he hadn't practiced fighting since he came to the class.

As Rin looked at her friends returning from the arena, she stepped forward and checked Ensui for injuries first. When Ensui said he was fine, she rushed to congratulate Yuta.

"Yuta-san, you fought really well! If you keep this up, maybe someone from our class will win the tournament, and everyone will see that we're the best class in the school!"

Rin repeated this behavior after each competition, congratulating everyone and checking on their injuries. The female students didn't feel anything about it because they knew she wanted to be a medical ninja in the future and the boys couldn't help but be attracted to her, but not everyone was as stupid as Obito and knew she had feelings for Kakashi.

When Yuta heard that Rin congratulated him much less than Kakashi, he ignored her and headed for his seat. If he was strong enough when the time came, he would save Rin and rescue Kakashi from his life of eternal virginity. After all, he had not forgotten how Kakashi had treated him like a brother.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Yuta clenched his fist and thought this could work in his favor. If somehow a boy attracted the attention of the whole village, Danzo would at least think twice before kidnapping him. This is just like how governments in the old world worked.

To give an example, look at the number of search and rescue personnel that would be mobilized to search for an ordinary person lost in the forest versus the number of search and rescue personnel that would be mobilized to search for a pop star.

The Hokage has his popularity to think about, and the sudden disappearance of a young man beloved by the villagers will significantly lower people's trust in the Hokage...

Ibiki finally decided to congratulate the entire class first and with a deep breath began his speech. "Asuma, Ryoko, Rentaro and Isamu. Your performance in this battle was at a lower level than during our training days. Starting tomorrow, I will prepare a special training program for you to practice at home. Kakashi and Obito, congratulations. And Yuta..." Ibiki paused for a second before continuing, watching as Yuta forced one of the civilian students to undress and put the jacket he was wearing over his own head to block out the sun. "YUTAAA!!!"

Yuta had always harbored a certain amount of fear for the bald teacher, knowing what kind of art he would be mastering in the future, and when he heard Ibiki shout, he immediately turned his attention back to him. "Yes, Sensei!"

A few veins appeared on Morino Ibiki's forehead when he realized that even as he answered him, he hadn't bothered to return the jacket to the trembling boy next to him. "Yuta, do you still have any hidden talents?"

"Yes."

"Do you think you can win this competition?"

"Of course. Uh by the way sensei, is it allowed to use summon monsters in duels?"

Ibiki wondered why his student used the plural suffix when asking this question, but he didn't ask him anything and answered his question. "It is completely free to use summons, but I don't recommend it. If people see you using summons to beat your opponent, they will make a fuss about it. After all, a boy from a rich family might find a powerful summoning beast and buy it to make a contract with him. Unless you can prove that you captured the summoning beast on your own."

"It's more like I created the summon monsters than I captured them myself. It is something about my bloodline, and I don't plan on using them at all in battle, I'm just planning on having Obito kicked to the pigs if I ever face him."

Kakashi snorted at Yuta's words and even Rin laughed. Obito, seeing Rin laughing at him, scratched the back of his head and started laughing himself, as if he had forgotten everything.

Yuta looked at him and decided he was a real idiot, then stopped thinking about it. The next competition was not long away and Yuta had some real problems to think about.

During the last battle, when he tried at the last second to pull back the punch that was about to hit Ensui, he felt a strange sensation and if he was not mistaken, for a moment he saw black lightning bolts coming out of his fist.

Yuta focused on that feeling and tried to remember it, and if he succeeded, it would be the first time he would have an ability without the help of the system.

Ibiki wanted to give Yuta some more advice but when he came over to him he saw Yuta sitting cross-legged on the couch and angrily hammered Yuta's head. "Is it time to go to sleep now?"

Yuta responded angrily as his focus was broken. "I wasn't sleeping! I'm thinking, give me some space!"

Ibiki's face turned ugly before he answered. "Huh? Repeat what you just said, brat."

Yuta heard Ibiki's tone and suddenly decided that it would not be good for him to prolong the conversation. "I wasn't sleeping, I was just planning to win the next competition in a very cool way and show everyone how cool my sensei is."

Morino Ibiki messed up Yuta's hair and returned to his seat. Maybe this silly-looking student was hiding something more.

So Yuta closed his eyes to refocus his thoughts and thought about the black lightning technique until a classmate nudged him.

"Yuta-san, it's your turn."

After Yuta opened his eyes and faced his future sister-in-law, he stood up straight and started walking towards the arena.

The villagers were talking about the rain that was about to fall, and when they saw that it was Yuta and a popular Hyuga boy who had come out to the arena, they immediately started talking about the upcoming battle.

At the moment there were four arenas in the square and eight people could fight in each one at the same time. Before Yuta, the arenas had already been fought in twice and there were still only three couples who had not fought anyone.

Since there were no other interesting candidates except Yuta and the boy from the Hyuga clan, almost the entire crowd's attention fell on Yuta and the boy in front of him.

Yuta already had a strong anti-Danzo aura thanks to Tsunade, and he thought that if he became well-known to the whole village, he would be a Danzo-defender.

With this in mind, Yuta smiled as he took the stage and greeted the crowd like a gladiator in one of the ancient Roman coliseums. In the end, he turned to his opponent and made a symbol of friendship as the referee signaled.

Just as the battle was about to start, Yuta learned from his previous mistakes and asked his opponent a question; "What is your full name? No no no, who is the leader of the Hyuga clan right now? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't care about your name, I just don't want to hurt the relatives of the Hyuga clan leader."

The boy from the Hyuga clan gritted his teeth and comforted Yuta. It seems that he is just a child of the side family and even if Yuta accidentally castrates him, there will be no problem with the Hyuga Hinata's birth.

Yuta raised his shoulders and said "I'm just a nice guy" before greeting his opponent who ran at him.

Yuta was already faster and stronger than the average genin unless you counted Sasuke or Naruto. The martial arts of the boy from the Hyuga clan narrowed the gap a little, but not enough to close it completely.

Yuta thought this battle was going to be boring too until he smiled and decided to stop dodging punches and take his opponent down, but as soon as he raised his fist and tried to attack his opponent, his fist was deflected with a slight movement, followed by a hard palm strike to the face.

Yuta covered his nose with one hand and lowered his head, which was tilted back, while Hyuga immediately stepped back and watched his opponent. When the boy realized that Yuta was almost unaffected by the blow he had just received, he swallowed hard and took up his fighting stance again.

His master had told him that this move was powerful enough to knock even a genin unconscious, but Yuta seemed to have nothing.

Yuta wiped the blood from his nose with his hand and then took a fighting stance with his blood-covered fist forward and his other hand at the level of his navel and said, "Awesome. Now you've managed to get on my last nerve. Congrats!"

As Yuta's hands were covered in red flames, the leader of the Hyuga clan sitting in the audience asked his sons if the flames on Yuta's hands looked familiar to them.

Hyuga Hiashi was the first to answer. "Yes, father-sama, the flames in his hands and even his posture look a bit like an immature version of the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists technique."

"That's right. Keep watching carefully. This technique is probably different from ours, after all, as long as I'm alive, no one can get the secrets of the Hyuga clan."

Meanwhile, Danzo recognized the flame in Yuta's fists similar to the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists technique, and sent one of his subordinates to the root headquarters to bring the scroll with the technique to him after the competition.
