"Okay, everyone, quiet down," said Iruka, causing the class to fall silent.

Once the class had quieted, Iruka continued, "I have one more announcement to make. As you all know, the content of this term's graduation examination is the 'clone technique.' It will remain the same, but there will also be a competition following the graduation examination. The special thing is that the Hokage will also attend to watch this competition."

After Iruka's announcement, most of the students felt excited; after all, performing well in front of the Hokage could undoubtedly bring them many benefits.

But there were also a few students like Sasuke and Shikamaru who found this competition boring. For Sasuke, the reason was that he didn't consider anyone in the class as his opponent.

As for Shikamaru, his reason was obviously his laziness. After listening to Iruka's announcement, he muttered, "What a drag."

Once Iruka had finished announcing what he wanted to say, he continued with the class, and like every day, the classes proceeded.

After the class ended, Iruka noticed a few mischievous children continuously glancing in Jugram's direction and whispering among themselves. As their teacher, Iruka was familiar with their behavior, so he immediately understood that they intended to target Jugram. Knowing Jugram's strength, Iruka worried that something significant might occur if these mischievous students targeted him.

Iruka made a decision: to inform the students about Jugram so that they would refrain from doing something foolish. He wasn't doing this solely for that reason, but also because three days later, there was a competition. If the students underestimated Jugram, they would pay a heavy price.

After making this decision, Iruka spoke, "One last thing before you all leave the class. As your teacher, I want to inform you: do not underestimate Jugram during the competition, or else you will all pay a heavy price."

Most of the mischievous students felt that Iruka was trying to scare them. Iruka also saw through this; as a ninja, his senses were very sharp, enabling him to easily hear their discussions and observe their expressions, leading him to this conclusion.

"A year ago, Jugram alone killed a squad consisting of two Chunin and one Special Jonin ninja. If you want to interpret this as my attempt to stop you all from bullying Jugram, then that's up to you. But don't come to me complaining that I didn't inform you all about his strength," said Iruka quite irritably before leaving the class.

The information that Iruka just revealed about Jugram struck the students like lightning, leaving them dumbfounded and horrified. This reaction was understandable since they couldn't even confidently claim that they could become an Elite Chunin, let alone defeat a Special Jonin.

Sasuke also cast a solemn gaze in Jugram's direction, pondering whether Jugram truly possessed such power.

Under the dumbfounded and horrified stares of his classmates, Jugram calmly left the class.

Upon witnessing Jugram's departure, Ino immediately ran after him, following closely behind.

"Hah... Hah... Wait a moment," came a girl's voice from behind Jugram. He turned around and saw Ino, panting heavily from running to catch up to him.

"Ino-san, is there something you need from me?" asked Jugram.

"Uh... No, no," said Ino, shaking her head. "I just wanted to ask, where are you living in Konoha?"

"Oh, I bought a house near a flower shop. What was its name again? Ah, yes, Yamanaka Shop," replied Jugram.

"Really? Our family runs the Yamanaka Flower Shop," said Ino with a smile.

"A beautiful owner of a beautiful flower shop," replied Jugram with a smile.

Hearing Jugram's words, Ino blushed.

"So, you want to go together?" Jugram asked.

"Yes, why not," replied Ino.

"But I think your friends are calling you," Jugram pointed out, indicating Shikamaru and the others who were waving for Ino to join them.

"Ignore them, let's go," said Ino, and she left the place with Jugram.

Shikamaru sighed helplessly and muttered, "No one can understand what a girl thinks."

****

Soon, Jugram and Ino arrived in front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

"Okay then, since you have reached your destination, I should also go," said Jugram.

"Why don't you come and have dinner with my family?" Ino invited Jugram for dinner.

"Some other day, definitely. Today, I have a few commitments," replied Jugram. With that, he left for his house.

Ino watched Jugram until he was no longer visible, then she went inside her house.

****

Jugram entered his simple and peaceful house. He put down his sword beside his chair, opened his cloak, and hung it on the wall.

After sitting quietly, Jugram spoke to the thin air, "System."

As soon as Jugram's voice fell, a translucent panel appeared in front of him. Of course, if someone else were to see Jugram, they obviously wouldn't be able to see any panel; this panel could only be seen by Jugram.
