Nara Shikamaru suddenly said.
"..."
Kiba Inuzuka's smile froze instantly.
"I wish I could be like Kitazawa-sensei, who can make Sasuke smile with just three sentences."
Sakura Haruno said with great envy.
"Your life will probably be very difficult."
Yamanaka Ino looked her over and shook her head.
She knows Sakura Haruno too well.
In terms of gentleness alone, she can never compare to Kitazawa.
"Ino!"
Sakura Haruno suddenly flew into a rage, stood up, and glared at her unhappily.
"Sasuke is back."
Yamanaka Ino blinked and said.
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno quickly changed her expression and greeted him with a big smile.
"Women are truly terrifying."
Nara Shikamaru shivered.
He became even more determined to marry an ordinary wife.
"I am now announcing the rankings for this monthly exam."
Kitazawa took the roster handed to him by Umino Iruka and walked up to the students of Class 1-A.
Whether it's the theoretical exam or the practical exam, the rankings are similar to the last monthly exam.
"I'm number one in real combat again!"
Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh.
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him subconsciously, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
He has forgotten what it feels like to be number one.
"Second place, Kurama Yakumo."
Kitazawa glanced at Naruto Uzumaki and continued reciting.
Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama did not spar during this monthly exam.
However, the reason he still ranked Naruto Uzumaki first was because he considered that Yakumo Kurama had not made any progress this month.
But you can't blame her for that.
Her bloodline limit was so terrifying, her starting point was so high, that it caused her to progress slowly.
"Third place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "Fourth place, Hinata Hyuga."
In this monthly exam, Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga did not fight each other.
However, Sasuke Uchiha was repeatedly tricked by him, so giving him a third place was a consolation prize.
Although he didn't feel any comfort in it.
"This monthly exam is now over. The next monthly exam will be the final exam, which will be around mid-December."
After reading out the rankings, Kitazawa smiled and said, "The final exams are the most important thing, so I hope everyone takes them seriously."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fist.
Once he awakens his two-tomoe Sharingan, he will definitely win against everyone.
"Sasuke, I'll give you a surprise after the final exams!"
Naruto suddenly remembered something and said happily.
"...?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked completely bewildered.
What other surprises are there?
He didn't want any surprises.
The last surprise Naruto received was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which gave him quite a fright.
"Everyone did a great job today, and I look forward to seeing you all do even better in the final exams."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "You can go back after you get your report card. See you tomorrow."
Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!
The students of Class 1-A greeted him one after another, and after receiving their report cards from Umino Iruka, they left the school in a swarm.
For most students, grades are important, but not that important; making the most of their time to play is the most important thing.
"Let's go, Naruto, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen."
Kiba Inuzuka sighed and said.
He felt that the bet could be terminated.
Because he always loses.
However, a man of his word is a man of his word, and he could afford to treat her to a bowl of ramen.
"How about I treat you this time?"
Naruto scratched his head and asked.
He felt embarrassed after always getting free meals and drinks from others.
Especially since Kiba Inuzuka is so unlucky.
"What are you talking about?"
Kiba slapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Are you looking down on me?"
That's not what I meant!
Naruto Uzumaki quickly said.
"Then let's go quickly!"
Kiba Inuzuka gave a soft snort and said.
"Thank you, Tooth!"
Naruto Uzumaki said with a big smile.
"I am, after all, the second young master of the Inuzuka clan! This little bit of money is nothing to me."
Kiba Inuzuka looked at the bright smile on his face, patted his chest, and said.
The two of them went to Ichiraku Ramen together.
After finishing his meal, Naruto Uzumaki hummed an unknown melody and happily went home.
"So happy? Did you get first place again?"
As soon as Naruto opened the door, he heard a familiar voice.
His smile widened, and he exclaimed with great surprise, "Third-generation grandfather!"
"Naruto, you haven't answered my question yet."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.
Actually, there was no need to answer; he already knew the answer.
After all, Naruto Uzumaki is so happy, it can't be faked.
"I got first place in the practical exam again!"
Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said.
"It would be perfect if I could get first place in any theory exam."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said expectantly.
After all, Minato Namikaze was number one every year when he was in the Ninja Academy.
"I...I'll try my best."
Naruto's smile froze instantly.
It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's just that his classmates are too abnormal.
Even his first place in the practical exam was achieved through sheer hard work.
But in the theory exam, if you don't know it, you just don't know it; trying your best won't help.
"Haha, there's no need to look so gloomy."
Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but laugh.
"That's good."
Naruto Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that Hiruzen Sarutobi would send him to try and get first place in the theory exam.
In that case, he would be plunged into the hell of endless practice problems again.
Today is November 2nd.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a wad of cash and said, "This is your living expenses for this month."
"Thank you, Grandpa Three Generations!"
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he said, "Now I can go buy the limited edition instant noodles again!"
"You really like instant noodles."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said.
"hey-hey."
Naruto Uzumaki smiled and put away the money, saying, "Third Hokage, I saw that tail again when I was fighting Sasuke today."
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".
This nine-tailed fox doesn't seem as difficult to get along with as the legends say.
It's really strange that he's already helped Naruto twice in less than two months.
What is that tail?
Naruto asked curiously.
I'll tell you in a while.
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly, changing the subject, and said, "You can keep some of your money for use in December."
"why?"
Naruto asked, puzzled.
What do you think of Kitazawa?
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer his question directly, but instead asked a question in return.
"Teacher Kitazawa is definitely great!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately laughed and said, "Everything is great!"
"December 21st is Kitazawa's birthday."
Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him.
"I see!"
