Chapter 5

"Shut up; whose fault do you think it is?" As soon as Kushina finished speaking, she suddenly felt Arata's body freeze in place. "What's going on? Did something happen?"

"Wait a minute, that damn curse is acting up again."

"What?" Kushina was stunned. Is it so random?

At this moment, a pale golden interface once more appeared in front of Arata. Not even Kushina could see this screen.

The screen flashed, and a string of characters appeared on it. Even without reading the screen, Arata did not have any good feeling about what was about to happen.

[Choose.]

[1. Go to Konoha Plaza and expose the secret of Sarutobi Hiruzen using a crystal ball to spy on the butcher aunt going to the Hot Springs to everyone!]

[2. Use the video stone to play the precious scene of Haruno Sakura's parents getting freaky with all kinds of 'special products' in their room last night!]

[3. In front of the whole class, stand up and ask Mizuki if he was practicing some kind of secret forbidden waist techniques with a small red carp on the riverbank the afternoon before yesterday? Ask him to explain the technique.]

Hiss!!!

As expected, looking at the three options that had appeared in front of him again, Arata couldn't help but gasp in shock. Just one of these tasks was enough to cause so many troubles for him.

Could these so-called secrets be true?

What a kinky bunch of people, these guys! Hiruzen Sarutobi, an old guy, even peeped at the butcher aunty; his tastes are quite strong. Then there is Sakura's mother; it turned out that she likes this kind of flavor?

These guys are so old, but their bodies and hearts still cannot sit still.

Of course, compared to them, Mizuki is even more of a heavyweight player. Fish? Poor little red carp!

Damn it, this thing can also be used for such forbidden techniques? Arata's face paled as his imagination ran wild upon reading those words.

After swallowing, Arata finally decided to choose "three."

The reason? Just out of curiosity…

He truly wondered if Mizuki killed that little red carp with his inhumane actions. How could he do such a thing?!

Even the poor little fish is not safe in the ninja world. What would happen to him?

Taking a deep breath, Arata raised his hand and stood up directly. "Teacher Mizuki, I have a question about something important!"

Seeing that the speech he had carefully prepared was interrupted, Mizuki frowned slightly. Even though he showed a gentle personality to these students, in reality, Mizuki looked down on these delicate Ninja School students from the bottom of his heart.

He also didn't like the "Will of Fire" class, but for the sake of his superficial disguise, he still endured it till now.

With a warm smile on his face, Mizuki looked at Arata and asked, "You are... Student Arata? Is there something that you don't understand about what I just said?"

"No, it's not that." Arata shook his head and said respectfully, "Teacher Mizuki's explanation of the Will of Fire is very insightful, and I have gained a lot."

"Then what is it that you want to ask...?" Mizuki looked confused.

At this moment, Arata had attracted everyone's attention. The whole class, including his own friends, turned their attention to him.

Only Shikamaru sensed something was wrong.

He was very familiar with his good friend and his nature. He had never raised his hand to gain any kind of attention or show off during class.

Seeing him acting out of character gave Shikamaru the feeling that something terrible was going to happen.

And in the next moment, his premonition became true.

Looking around at the faces of innocent children in the class, Arata asked hesitantly, "Teacher Mizuki, do you still remember what you were doing the day before yesterday?"

"What do you mean?" Mizuki didn't react at this time.

"At the bank of the river in the afternoon on the day before yesterday, you bent down and performed some complex aerobic movements with a small red carp..." Arata said, stretching out his palm and still playing with it. "I was very curious and wonder what you were doing at that time. Can you explain it to me? Is that a way to train some kind of technique?"

Hush!

As soon as these words came out, the whole class fell into chilling silence.

The students' eyes changed when they looked at Mizuki; they were surprised, horrified, and disgusted!

This teacher Mizuki, who looks so gentle on the surface, is actually...

"H-how come, how did you know?!" Mizuki was caught off guard by the sudden, unexpected question and asked without even thinking about where he was standing.

After he realized, it was already too late, but he quickly changed his words. "Little boy, I have no idea what you are talking about! You must be mistaken. Now, sit down!"

At the end of the sentence, his tone became sharper, and his expression seemed slightly ruthless.

His reaction was natural.

His own students caught him in such a weird act. Who the hell can be proud of it and admit openly?

What's more, he had to maintain his image in public; Arata's exposure was like a heavy blow to him! He definitely could not let the truth get out!

"Yes." Arata pretended to be obedient and sat down. With the task completed, a prompt popped up in front of his eyes.

[Optional mission completed.]

[Congratulations on receiving twenty years' worth of chakra.]

Chakra?!

Damn it, this system can actually directly give him chakra as a reward?

Twenty years' worth of chakra was immediately merged with his body, raising the amount of chakra in Arata's body to the level of his thirty-year-old self.

Feeling the surging energy flowing through the meridians in his body, Arata took a deep breath to calm himself. The sudden boost of his strength caught him off-guard.

This salted fish like him had finally gained some strength to turn his situation around, but even then, he was still not happy in his heart.

"Hey!" Naruto's carefree voice suddenly sounded in the quiet classroom. He looked at Shikamaru and asked, "What does bending over and performing complex aerobic movements with a small red carp mean?"

"Shut up!" Shikamaru raised his voice to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Kobayashi Arata, you two, get out of the classroom and stand outside!" Mizuki's face turned red, and he shouted with an enraged expression.

"But..."

Naruto wanted to argue, but Arata grabbed him, and the two walked out of the classroom door dejectedly.
