Reincarnation into the world of Naruto with the system

And yet, the most epic event was Sasuke's arrival in the classroom. He came in last, barely dragging his feet, and, having reached the last desk slightly to the right of us, he literally collapsed into the empty seat. I think my mental template just shattered.

"Hey, weakling, what happened to you?" Kiba asked, turning his face toward Sasuke directly on the desk with an annoying screech.

"My… brother… agreed… to train me! He trained me…" the poor guy managed to answer, not even noticing the "weakling" remark.

It was both funny and tragic, considering how in the canon he chased after his brother and always got rejected. And here, his brother had actually agreed, probably having some free time. It felt ironic and should have been hilarious, but I didn't have the energy to laugh. Plus, a sense of solidarity as a fellow victim held me back.

"I see." Kiba and I said in unison, returning to our original positions.

+350 reputation with Uchiha Sasuke obtained.

The system notified me. Seems like I wasn't the only one who felt the bond of shared suffering.

Then came the roll call and introductions, but my consciousness skipped right over them. I couldn't even remember if my name had been called.

View from the Side

"Next, Akimichi Choji." Iruka-sensei continued.

"I'm Choji. I love good food and my mom, I don't like an active lifestyle." The chubby boy stood up.

At his last words, something bizarre happened—the last-row desk by the window saw three pairs of hands shoot into the air, clapping. Considering that the owners of these hands didn't even bother lifting their heads from their desks, the sight was strange even for the well-experienced Iruka.

"Alright, sit down, Choji. Next, Yamanaka Ino." Iruka sighed, already realizing that he had a difficult generation on his hands.

"Hello," the blonde girl smiled warmly, as if to the entire class, immediately making herself likable. "I'm Yamanaka Ino. I love and appreciate my parents and my clan… and one person. I don't like overly noisy crowds, drunks, and two individuals."

Everything seemed fine, Iruka noted—except, what had those Uchiha twins done to make her glare at them so fiercely? And who was this "one person" she liked? His gaze moved to the last row by the window. Not Uchiha Sasuke? That was surprising. Could it be the descendant of the lazy clan? No, unlikely—she didn't seem like a masochist to fall for someone like that. Then maybe the Inuzuka heir? Hmm… It couldn't possibly be the demon brat, right? Or could it? I need to report to the Hokage!

When the Uchiha sisters' turn came, Iruka nearly clutched his heart. Their speeches were similar to Ino's, except less friendly to others. They disliked kidnappers, arrogant people, and "one person," glancing at Ino vengefully. But their positive feelings were also directed at one person in the last row, which made Iruka nervous. Straight to the Hokage! Urgently!

Hyuga Hinata was somewhat of a relief. A shy, modest girl who clearly had feelings for the Inuzuka heir. This was within acceptable norms—unlike the previous three disasters.

But then it got worse.

"Next, Nara Shikamaru!"

"I'm Shikamaru, and I'm too lazy." He never even lifted his head from the desk. Expected.

"Next, Inuzuka Kiba."

"I'm Kiba, and I'm dying." he muttered weakly.

Alright, manageable, Iruka thought.

"Next, Uzumaki Naruto!"

"I'm Naruto… and I got wrecked." The demon brat responded in a half-asleep tone.

What? He got what? "Wrecked"? What else could be expected from this creature? Certainly not proper manners.

"Sigh… Fine. Next, Uchiha Sasuke!" Surely this would finally break the streak of laziness.

Sasuke struggled to stand up… to the applause from the neighboring desk, and began speaking with visible effort.

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, I love my family, value my clan, and want to sleep." And on that strange note, he collapsed back into his seat.

What is wrong with this class?!

Iruka wanted to scream, to rage… but he had to calm down and proceed with the lesson. His attempts to fail the snoring trio were unsuccessful. He couldn't target Uchiha—his clan wouldn't tolerate that. Shikamaru lazily but correctly answered every question. The demon brat also answered, albeit in his own words, but clearly knew the material. The young Inuzuka kept glancing at the first two and was obviously parroting their answers, but Iruka couldn't prove it.

And just as he had finally started to settle down, the lunch break arrived… and three individuals made their way toward a certain blond, with a very obvious intent.

Later, in the classroom…

"What was that about?" I asked, still barely keeping my eyes open.

"Same question. Shouldn't they be happy? That means more food for them." Kiba added, watching Sai, Ai, and Ino walk away.

"I could explain, but that's too much effort." Shikamaru chimed in.

It all started when, out of nowhere, I was suddenly woken up by three bento boxes dropping onto my desk at once. The girls had made it clear—Choose! And then they started arguing among themselves.

Still half-asleep and not wanting to listen to their buzzing, I responded that I had my own food and even showed it, suggesting they eat theirs instead. Apparently, they completely misinterpreted my words. But I only realized that now—at the time, I was practically still asleep.

Besides, I had no other choice. If I picked only the twins' food, I would have upset Ino, and I didn't want to offend her. But if I took her food… well, I still wanted to live! Even the system ranked her cooking as top-tier poison.

But I should have handled it more gently. Yeah. Ugh, I'm such an idiot!

New status acquired: "I'm an Idiot."

…I'm an idiot.

It's not as bad as it could have been, but it's not as good as I would have liked. According to many romantic comedy protagonists, being an idiot can actually be beneficial.

Well, in this world, it is useful.

Although, getting that kind of affinity with Wood Release… do people seriously think I'm a tree?!
