Naruto: No one knows that I can use Wood Release!

Chapter 10 Araki's Dream

The exclamation in the classroom lasted for quite some time before gradually quieting down.

Almost every student knew that Namikaze Minato wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha, but knowing it was one thing, hearing it directly from Namikaze Minato was another.

At this moment, everyone truly understood Namikaze Minato's "ambition," and unconsciously, their gazes towards him had changed.

Even Yinsui sensei, who asked the question, looked at Namikaze Minato with eyes filled with admiration and appreciation.

After all...

To have taught a student like him was something worth boasting about for a lifetime!

...

After asking a few more students in succession, Yinsui sensei's gaze focused on Araki in the corner.

"Araki, what is your dream?" Yinsui sensei asked, displaying a slightly different demeanor than before. There was even a hint of hesitation in his expression.

I have to say...

Even Yinsui sensei found Araki to be a tough nut to crack.

In the past, whenever it came to asking Araki a question, his reaction was like opening a blind box.

When things were going well, he answered instantly, just like a top student.

But when things weren't going well, it was as if he didn't understand the question at all.

To the point that even from a teacher's perspective, unless there was a specific reason, they wouldn't deliberately approach Araki. The uncertainty he brought was too strong.

This time, when Araki was called upon, it didn't catch the attention of any other students.

The people in the classroom continued doing their own things. Those who had already answered began thinking about other matters or taking a break. Those who hadn't answered were mentally rehearsing their responses, thinking about how to answer quickly. No one paid any attention to how Araki would respond.

However...

Something unexpected happened this time.

Kushina, who had just transferred into the class, showed no interest when she heard about other people's dreams. After all, she didn't know any of these people, so listening was pointless, and she couldn't remember who was who.

But when it came to Araki...

Kushina's neck suddenly straightened, and her red twin tails bounced up and down twice. Her eyes, full of anticipation and curiosity, were fixed on Araki. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"I..."

Araki's expression remained unchanged. Just like the other students waiting to be questioned, he had already figured out how to answer such a question.

From the moment he saw Kushina, he knew the progression of the class and that they would eventually reach the stage of asking about dreams.

Dreams are elusive things!

If one speaks too grandly, they will be accused of aiming too high and being unrealistic.

But if one speaks too modestly, they will be seen as lacking ambition.

Araki wouldn't fully reveal his abilities, as that would attract more attention. Similarly, he wouldn't completely hide his abilities, as that would also draw the attention of some people. Only by keeping himself at a moderate level at all times could he blend in with the crowd.
