A blinding light crashed into Satoru's consciousness, dragging him out of the abyss.
A wave of dizziness hit him, making his head spin as if he had just been run over by a truck and then thrown onto a death-defying amusement park ride.
What the hell is going on!?
The air around him carried the chill of early morning mist and a faint scent of aged wood—a smell he had never encountered before. Rustic, yet strangely real.
Satoru opened his eyes.
Before him was a small wooden room.
A single bed with a worn but clean blanket. A simple wooden wardrobe against the wall. A desk with a few neatly rolled scrolls, and a painting hanging on the wall—a peaceful landscape of Konoha.
Konoha!?
His brain felt like it had been doused in ice water, but before he could panic, an unfamiliar flood of memories surged into his mind like a raging tsunami.
His name was now Hoshino Satoru.
A regular ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village.
No Kekkei Genkai. No powerful Dojutsu. No secret clan techniques.
Just an ordinary ninja, roughly at the level of a Chunin. He had some talent in Taijutsu and quick reflexes, but nothing exceptional.
Satoru shot up from the bed and rushed to the small mirror on the desk, staring at his reflection.
A young man around eighteen years old stared back at him, with slightly messy black hair and sharp yet somewhat absentminded eyes.
"Wait a minute... Did I really transmigrate into Naruto!?"
Satoru screamed internally.
The System Has Arrived!
At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[The Genius Training System has been activated.] [Welcome, Hoshino Satoru, to the world of ninja.] [You are currently an intern teacher at the Konoha Ninja Academy.] [Main mission: Train the next generation of talented ninjas. The greater your students' achievements, the more points you will earn. Accumulate enough points to exchange for skills or items from other anime worlds.]
Satoru's jaw dropped.
A system!?
Not only had he transmigrated, but he had also received a support system!?
Wasn't this the ultimate protagonist buff!?
At that moment, a virtual screen appeared before him:
[Newbie Gift Pack Available – Press "Confirm" to activate.]
Satoru's eyes lit up.
He had watched countless anime and read too many isekai novels to not recognize this! The newbie gift pack was always the key to a strong start!
Without hesitation, he pressed it.
A surge of fiery energy flooded his body, making him feel as though every cell inside him had awakened.
Newbie Gift Pack Unlocked!
[Acquired Skill: Enhanced Vision (Level 1).] [Acquired Skill: Potential Analysis (Level 1).] [Received 100 reward points.] [Acquired Basic Physical Constitution of One Piece.]
Instantly, the world around him transformed.
The tiny cracks in the wooden walls, the individual droplets of water on the window frame, even the specks of dust floating in the air—everything became crystal clear, like a high-definition 4K image.
But more importantly, his body felt fundamentally different.
Lighter. Faster. Stronger.
Not in a way that made him a super warrior overnight, but clearly beyond the physical limits of this world.
[Explanation: The basic physical constitution of One Piece exceeds the standard of this world.] [A normal person in One Piece can endure prolonged battles, recover quickly after eating, and possesses strength and speed superior to an average ninja.]
Satoru's eyes widened.
In other words... even without powerful chakra or bloodline abilities, just this physical enhancement alone made him stronger than most average ninjas!?
He clenched his fists, feeling the newfound firmness of his muscles, his breathing unnaturally stable.
It wasn't overwhelming power, but it was a solid foundation for survival in this dangerous ninja world.
Beginning the Teacher's Role
After adjusting to his new body, Satoru quickly changed into his uniform and headed out towards the Ninja Academy.
The crisp morning air of Konoha carried the warm scent of freshly baked bread from roadside stalls. Laughter and chatter filled the streets, painting a peaceful atmosphere.
As he walked, he focused on adapting to his new physical abilities—his steps felt more stable, his body more flexible. But above all...
His stomach was growling with hunger!
Wait a minute, was this a side effect of the One Piece physique!?
Satoru quickly ducked into a small eatery and ordered three large bowls of ramen, devouring them without pause.
The shop owner blinked at him in shock, while the other customers gaped.
"Hoshino... You don't usually eat this much," one of them commented.
Satoru forced a smile and wiped his mouth. "Ah... been training a lot lately."
Nobody knew that this was just the beginning of a massive change.
After finishing his meal, he continued towards the Ninja Academy.
In front of him stood the grand entrance, with the symbol of the Hidden Leaf carved into the wooden gates.
He took a deep breath.
Alright! Time to begin his role as a teacher!
Soon after, the school bell rang, signaling the start of the day.
Satoru stepped into the classroom, coming face-to-face with his first batch of students.
Hatake Kakashi, Maito Gai, Uchiha Obito, Rin Nohara, Genma Shiranui, Ebisu…
Satoru felt a chill down his spine.
Wait, wait, wait... These are all future geniuses! Why am I the one teaching these kids!?
He swallowed nervously, walked up to the blackboard, and wrote two words:
Hoshino Satoru – Intern Teacher
Turning back, he met the piercing gazes of his students, their eyes sharp as blades, assessing him.
Cold sweat trickled down his back.
Crap. What the hell am I supposed to teach them!?
