Hiding the identity of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki?
Look at those villagers, constantly calling him “demon fox” this and “demon fox” that. They might as well have plastered the title of Nine-Tails jinchuriki right on Naruto’s forehead!
The son of a hero, treated like this… he really didn’t know how to express what he was feeling right now.
He also found it hard to imagine how his son, after being treated like this, could still be so sunny and so kind.
He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about that.
As a Hokage, of course he hoped his son could achieve that level of character. But as a father, he wanted those who had hurt his son to receive the punishment they deserved.
Fortunately, he was still alive now, and everything could still be changed.
So he was incredibly grateful to the group owner for telling him this important future.
Child of Nature: “That’s about it. You guys chat slowly. I have class now.”
Ordinary Group Owner: “…”
Sure enough, no matter how many times she saw it, the whole “going to school” thing still felt really strange.
Bai Xuan didn’t know how Su Yunqing felt. He logged out of the chat group simply because their homeroom teacher had walked in.
The thirty minutes of morning reading had unknowingly passed while everyone was “pontificating and getting excited.” Even now, many were still immersed in their fantasies of the future.
Completely unaware of the teacher’s arrival.
Their homeroom teacher, whose hair was a bit thin, wasn’t angry when he saw them like this. He leaned against the door, sipping his goji berry tea, and watched their performance.
In the past, when the noise started to die down, others would unconsciously lower their voices until no one was talking. But today, perhaps because the superpower topic was so exciting, they were more absorbed than ever.
Several minutes passed, and still, no one noticed the change.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
“…”
“Ouch!”
“Who threw that at me? Don’t you know how tough I am?”
“I’m the future Fire-type Archmage! Who dares to throw something at me?”
“Wait, this force… could it be…”
A few chalk pieces flew directly at their heads as if locked on. The sudden pain woke them up, and they stood up angrily, looking for their “enemy.”
Then…
“Why is no one talking? I thought you wanted to show me how tough you are?”
“Why isn’t our future Fire-type Archmage saying anything? I’m just a lowly homeroom teacher, how could I possibly afford to offend you?”
The teacher spoke with a sarcastic tone. A few of them scratched their heads awkwardly and quickly sat up straight.
The teacher nodded slightly, took a sip of his tea, and then said:
“I can understand your excitement. Awakening superpowers, right? I was just as excited as you last night. But…”
“Teach, you awakened too?”
Before the teacher could finish, Sun Qiang asked incredulously.
His classmates had awakened, and even his teacher had awakened?
Did his parents awaken too? He had shown off in front of them this morning.
If they had awakened, hadn’t he made a fool of himself again?
“What, you have a problem with me awakening?”
The teacher squinted at Sun Qiang, a piece of chalk ready in his hand.
“No, no, I’m just a little surprised, that’s all.”
Sun Qiang’s body trembled, and he quickly tried to laugh it off.
“Please continue, please continue.”
The teacher put down the chalk and continued.
“The superpower I awakened is called Lock-On. The detailed explanation is too complicated. You can think of it like an aimbot in games. Any attack will hit the target I lock onto.”
“Whoa, an aimbot? If you pair that with a gun or a bow, wouldn’t you be invincible early on?”
Hearing their homeroom teacher’s almost cheat-like superpower, not just the other students but even Bai Xuan couldn’t help but smack his lips.
This ability is incredibly strong in the early stages!
Whether using a bow or a gun, combined with this superpower, you’d be practically unbeatable.
“Ahem, don’t be so surprised. My ability also has a range limit.”
“Right now, it’s only about seven or eight meters.”
The teacher coughed twice and explained.
“That’s more like it. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated.”
“If it really had no range limit, I could kill someone from halfway across the earth. It would be a real-life ‘Let the Bullets Fly.'”
“Good, good.”
Hearing about the limitation, everyone calmed down. But still, it had to be said, this ability was terrifying.
“Alright, quiet down and listen to me. There will be plenty of time for you to talk later.”
“The government places great importance on this superpower matter. The school has also received orders from higher-ups to conduct relevant investigations and cooperation.”
“So, those who have awakened abilities, please stand up.”
“…”
The students looked left and right, left and right, and not a single person stood up.
They all had an expression that said, “I haven’t awakened any superpowers, don’t look at me.”
“You’ve watched too many American movies…”
The teacher was a bit speechless. He never expected his students to be so “reserved.” Weren’t you all chatting quite happily before I even walked in?
“We are in China, not America. No one is going to capture you for experiments.”
“Besides, with this awakening rate, there are plenty of superpowered individuals in the military. There are also plenty of volunteers willing to be studied. Even if they wanted to experiment on someone, it wouldn’t be you.”
“You’re not that old, but you sure have a lot of suspicions.”
“Honestly.”
As he spoke, the teacher almost started laughing. His students were more peculiar than the last.
“Alright, alright, I’ll be straight with you.”
“Those of you who have awakened abilities, come with me to the playground later to demonstrate your abilities and register them.”
“This file will be kept, and it can earn you extra points on the college entrance exam.”
“What kind of country do you think you’re living in? China is the safest country in the world. Have a little confidence in your own country, honestly.”
Even though the teacher teased them a bit, they didn’t feel too embarrassed.
After all, when it comes to your own life, you can’t be too careful.
But it’s just registration, huh…
“Hey, Teach, is the government going to form something like a Superpower Association? Like the Avengers or the Dragon Group?”
Zhang Weiyang asked, a little excited.
“After all, this is a large-scale awakening. It’s not just limited to us humans. Those wild animals, insects, and plants might also awaken.”
“Maybe in the future, they’ll compete with us for the position of Earth’s dominant species.”
“The government will definitely form organizations to resist, right?”
He had always longed for those secret organizations in novels that quietly protect the country. For a while, he had even searched frantically online for these mysterious groups, but never found anything.
The only things he found were just from novels.
