What came into Kitazawa's view was a huge cake.
The cake has twenty-two candles on it, representing that he has turned twenty-two.
Surrounding the cake were Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, Kurama Yakumo, Karin, and others.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa laughed.
Although he had expected it, he was still quite happy to see what was happening.
His efforts over the past year have not been in vain.
At first, he did give Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha special training in order to get the system's rewards.
But humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? After a long time, feelings will naturally develop.
"Teacher Kitazawa, come and blow out the candles!"
Naruto Uzumaki said impatiently.
"Why are you in a more anxious mood than Choji?"
Kiba Inuzuka nudged him and asked jokingly.
"I'm not here to eat cake!"
Naruto Uzumaki snorted and said, "I just want to know what birthday wish Kitazawa-sensei will make!"
What are you saying?
Kiba Inuzuka retorted, "How can I let other people know my birthday wish?"
"what?"
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened, and he said, "I told you my birthday wish last time."
"You're okay."
Nara Shikamaru, with his hands behind his head, casually remarked, "Anyway, everyone knows what your birthday wish is."
"Is my birthday wish so easy to guess?"
Naruto scratched his head and asked.
"Your mind is full of Naruto."
Yamanaka Ino put her hands on her hips and said with a smile.
"However, if you want to become Hokage, you'll have to get past me first!"
Kiba Inuzuka gave a thumbs up and said.
He first learned Hellhound, and now he's learning Tooth-Tongue, which is when he's most confident.
"The Hokage is mine."
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly said.
"Eh?"
Sakura Haruno glanced at him instinctively.
"Sasuke, when did you become interested in the Hokage?"
Nara Shikamaru asked Sakura Haruno the question that had been bothering her.
"It's nothing, I just wanted Naruto to experience the taste of defeat."
Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.
Actually, it was mentioned by Fugaku Uchiha when they were chatting a couple of days ago.
Sasuke Uchiha could see the desire in his expression and tone.
In his memory, Fugaku Uchiha had always been very calm and serious, and rarely showed this kind of emotion.
If he gets what he wants, he will definitely receive great praise and recognition.
Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha set becoming Hokage as one of his goals.
"As expected of Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "So handsome!"
"But you just lost to Naruto."
Kiba Inuzuka couldn't stand his arrogance and interrupted him.
"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future."
Sasuke Uchiha's expression froze, but he stubbornly replied.
"Cough cough."
Kabuto Yakushi stopped them in time, saying, "Teacher Kitazawa, please blow out the candles first."
"Feel sorry."
Naruto Uzumaki immediately said, "We've gone too far."
Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru, and the others also showed embarrassed expressions.
"fine."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "Birthdays are meant to be lively."
He patted Naruto on the shoulder, stepped forward, and blew out the candle.
Kitazawa clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
Before he obtained the system, his only wish was to live safely until the finale.
Now that he has the system, his wishes have changed.
Currently, Kitazawa hopes to become stronger and stronger, ideally becoming the strongest in the ninja world.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat the cake."
After making his wish, Kitazawa opened his eyes.
"north……"
Naruto was about to ask Kiba what his birthday wish was, but then he paused, remembering Kiba's words.
Who wants to eat the first piece of cake?
Kitazawa picked up a knife and cut a piece of cake.
"I!"
Choji Akimichi immediately squeezed to the front and eagerly raised his hand.
"Choji couldn't take his eyes off the cake from the moment he saw it."
Nara Shikamaru joked.
"Then you can have it."
Kitazawa smiled and handed him the cake.
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Choji Akimichi took the cake and said excitedly.
Kitazawa immediately cut out a second piece of cake.
He glanced around and spotted that timid gaze.
Hinata.
Kitazawa reached out and placed the cake in front of her.
"Thank you... thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."
Hinata Hyuga was taken aback for a moment, but her heart leaped with joy.
She took a bite of the cake and felt only sweetness in her mouth, just like her mood.
"for you."
Kitazawa, holding the third piece of cake, saw Naruto Uzumaki, who was eager to try it out.
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Naruto Uzumaki ate the cake with a big smile on his face.
Not long after, all the cakes were distributed.
Kitazawa picked up the last piece and took a bite; the taste was pretty much what he remembered.
It seems that no matter which world you go to, the cake remains the same.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Choji Akimichi finished eating first, and then presented a gift box.
"This is my gift!"
Upon seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki quickly took out a gift box.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa did not open it in front of everyone.
However, he did notice that all the gifts they gave each other were in the same gift box.
He was somewhat surprised when he received Hinata Hyuga's gift box.
Because her gift box was very heavy.
What is this gift?
Kitazawa suppressed his curiosity and put the gift boxes away one by one.
He wasn't afraid of getting them mixed up; his name was labeled on the gift boxes.
Kitazawa guessed that this was the work of Yakushi Kabuto.
After all, he values these details the most.
After eating the cake and exchanging gifts, it was lunchtime.
"Teacher Kitazawa, you can just eat today, we'll grill all the meat!"
Kiba Inuzuka pulled Kitazawa to sit down in the main seat.
"Not bad!"
Naruto Uzumaki said confidently, "Kitazawa-sensei, you'd better try my Youthful Barbecue later! I guarantee it'll be exhilarating and delicious!"
"Where does the passion come from in barbecue?"
Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but ask a question.
"Youthful barbecue will get your blood pumping!"
As Naruto spoke, he picked up a piece of beef and placed it on the grill rack.
"That's not exhilaration, it's burning your mouth."
Kitazawa smiled and joked.
The others were slightly taken aback, but then they also started laughing.
A cheerful atmosphere immediately filled the private room.
"You just wait!"
Naruto Uzumaki, having mustered all his strength, shouted, "My youthful barbecue will definitely ignite your passion!"
"We'll grill it too."
Yamanaka Ino shared the grilled meat with Hinata and Karin, saying, "Our girls' grilled meat is definitely tastier!"
Roll your eyes!
Hinata Hyuga held a skewer of lamb, and veins bulged around her eyes.
