I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Page 150

But that would turn into a war of attrition.

It's just a regular final exam; there's no need to make a big deal out of it.

If it really came down to a fight, Sasuke Uchiha would still have a better chance of winning.

Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame don't have Naruto Uzumaki's speed, so it's difficult for them to avoid his Fire Release techniques.

Taking all factors into account, Uchiha Sasuke came in second place.

I wonder if he'll continue to suffer setbacks when the new semester starts and he's seen things for the first time.

Of course, this is on the premise that Uchiha Sasuke can awaken his Sharingan using his method.

Kitazawa is still looking forward to it.

By then, Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki will also become stronger, and the outcome of the battle may be even more unpredictable than it is now.

"Third place: Hinata Hyuga. Fourth place: Shino Aburame."

Kitazawa read out slowly, "Fifth place, Nara Shikamaru. Sixth place, Yamanaka Ino."

Compared to Naruto's excitement, Sasuke remained silent.

In his view, second place was completely meaningless.

But for Nara Shikamaru, fifth place was already exceeding his goal.

He finally saved his summer vacation and didn't need to attend any special training.

"This is the ranking for this practical exam."

Kitazawa concluded, "Everyone has made good progress, but we must avoid complacency and strive for even better results next semester."

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand and asked, "Will all future practical exams be in the form of real combat?"

"good."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes.

There are usually three to four exams per semester, so there are at least nine exams a year.

He only lost once.

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists, determined to reclaim everything he had lost once he awakened his Sharingan.

"Now I will announce the results of the theory exam."

Kitazawa raised his hand to suppress the discussion in Class 1-A and said.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at him with different expressions.

The results of the practical exam are already set; now the final ranking will depend on the results of the theoretical exam.

The most nervous person was Sakura Haruno.

On the one hand, she felt confident that she would be number one, but on the other hand, she was afraid of something unexpected happening.

After all, even Sasuke Uchiha's sure first place was snatched away by Naruto Uzumaki.

"First place, Nara Shikamaru."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"This is impossible!"

Sakura Haruno's face was filled with disbelief.

"What? Shikamaru is number one?"

Naruto Uzumaki instinctively looked at Shikamaru Nara, his tone filled with shock.

In his memory, Nara Shikamaru was even less attentive in class than he was.

"Is there some mistake somewhere?"

Kiba Inuzuka also found it hard to understand.

He remembered that Nara Shikamaru had never ranked in the top 20 in the first three monthly exams, and had always passed with a score of 60.

and many more!

Could it be that he's controlling the score?

"Shikamaru, you're not slacking off anymore?"

What surprised Choji Akimichi wasn't that Shikamaru Nara came in first place, but that he stopped pretending and showed his full strength.

Then, thinking about the actual exam, he exploded.

Choji Akimichi had reason to suspect that Nara Shikamaru had some kind of leverage over Kitazawa.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Yamanaka Ino.

After all, she knew the cause and effect.

Even Sasuke Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

The only top scorers in the previous theory exams were Sakura Haruno, him, and Hinata Hyuga. Where did Shikamaru Nara come from?

"Second place, Sakura Haruno."

Kitazawa read aloud after they quieted down.

"..."

Sakura Haruno opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Although second place is good, first place is better.

Losing first place unexpectedly left her with mixed feelings.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at her and suddenly felt a sense of shared misfortune.

His first place was snatched by Naruto Uzumaki.

Her first place was taken by Nara Shikamaru.

"Sakura, it's okay."

Yamanaka Ino patted her on the shoulder and said, "There will be many more opportunities to take back first place."

Based on her understanding of Nara Shikamaru, unless Kitazawa pushes him every time, he will retake the test and get a score of 60.

"Sasuke is also in second place."

Sakura Haruno suddenly realized something, "We both came in second place, which means we're a match made in heaven!"

"...?"

Yamanaka Ino felt that she was wasting her breath.

You can make such a connection just because someone came in second place? What kind of love-struck person are you?

"Get your money ready and come find me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Yamanaka Ino gave a soft hum and offered a reminder.

"I'm already so heartbroken, and you still want to bring up money?"

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened as she asked.

"You seem quite happy."

Yamanaka Ino said with a smile.

The superficiality of their sisterhood is on full display at this moment.

"Final exams are over. Summer vacation starts tomorrow."

After reading out the rankings, Kitazawa smiled and said, "Have fun!"

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"

The students in Class A of the first grade talked all at once.

"Iruka, the rest is up to you."

Kitazawa noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi leaving, handed the report card to Iruka Umino, and said, "I have to go to the Hokage Building."

"I see."

Umino Iruka said with an envious look, "You can leave it to me without worry."

Kitazawa waved to the students of Class 1-A and then turned and left.

"Alright, now come up one by one to collect your report cards."

Iruka Umino clapped his hands and announced loudly, "Now that you have your report card, you can go home!"

Kitazawa and Hiruzen Sarutobi entered the Hokage's office one after the other.

"Kitazawa".

After sitting down in the Hokage's chair, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Class A of the first year gave me a big surprise today."

"It's the result of their hard work."

Kitazawa said modestly.

"It's their effort, and it's your effort too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with emotion, "I've been Hokage for so many years and have seen many teams, but none can compare to yours."

"There are quite a few geniuses in our class."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "I just happened to be there."

"That being said, your contribution is considerable."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "No need for further words; the reward that is due should still be given."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa perked up and said.

"You no longer need to monitor Terai."

After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I'll notify Danzo to come and collect them later."

Kitazawa couldn't help but feel surprised.

It seems that his value has been enhanced; otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not have needed to quarrel with Danzo Shimura over such a trivial matter.

"After Terai leaves, you will take over his classes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment and then smiled, "You don't need to worry about not having time. You can use shadow clones to attend class."

"Ok."

Kitazawa nodded and agreed.

Since he had already said that, he had no room to refuse.

"Here, take this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a ninjutsu scroll and said.

Kitazawa's heart stirred, and he stepped forward to take the ninjutsu scroll.

He opened the ninjutsu scroll with anticipation, only to be stunned.

The scroll contains the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, a Rank A forbidden technique, and the first ninjutsu in the Book of Sealing.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is similar in effect to the Shadow Clone Technique, but there is no limit to the number of shadow clones.

However, having no restrictions is not a good thing.

First, creating too many shadow clones can deplete the caster's chakra and lead to death.

Secondly, after the shadow clones dissipate, they return to their memories and experiences. If there are too many, it can also have a huge impact on the brain.

In the original work, apart from freaks like Naruto Uzumaki, most ninjas have a maximum of about twenty shadow clones.

Moreover, only Jonin are generally qualified to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
