Kakashi Hatake's thoughts drifted away.
I wonder if he'll be able to encounter such talented students when he becomes a team leader.
Uchiha Izumi's battle was very easy.
After activating her Sharingan, she defeated her opponent with a single genjutsu, Shiranui.
Because one of the genin got a bye.
Under Genma Shiranui's arrangement, Aburame Torane played a revival match against a genin who had a bye, and successfully entered the third round.
"Congratulations."
Kakashi Hatake said in a neutral tone, "All the genin who made it to the third round are your students."
"Thank you."
Kitazawa replied with a smile.
"Round 3, Match 1: Kabuto Yakushi vs. Izumi Uchiha!"
Genma Shiranui glanced at the lottery results and shouted.
"Kabuto, please give me your guidance."
Uchiha Izumi looked serious, and was on high alert.
Previously, she had been worried about the abilities of her two teammates.
But now she has discovered that both of her teammates are stronger than her.
The oil woman takes a nano-sized poisonous insect; she will die if she touches it.
Kabuto Yakushi is even more outrageous; a medical ninja with extremely high combat skills.
Uchiha Izumi immediately activated her Sharingan.
Her physical skills are no match for Kabuto Yakushi; her only chance of winning lies in her illusion techniques.
Just as Uchiha Izumi was about to form hand seals, she saw Yakushi Kabuto use his chakra scalpel to rush towards her.
And he had his eyes closed.
Kabuto Yakushi received various kinds of training at Root, including a series of training sessions on how to deal with or hunt down the Uchiha clan.
After all, Danzo Shimura's lifelong dream was to wipe out the Uchiha clan.
As his direct descendants, Root was naturally the best candidate he envisioned for wiping out the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Izumi was immediately plunged into a fierce battle.
Unable to use illusions and feeling helpless in the face of the chakra scalpel, she was quickly defeated.
In the second match of the third round, it was still Izumi Uchiha's battle.
However, the opponent changed from Yakushi to Aburame Torune.
In the end, she still lost.
Fortunately, she wasn't a typical Uchiha, and she was quite composed about losing two matches in a row.
Current mission: Guide Kabuto Yakushi through the Chunin Exams.
Quest Reward: Water Transformation Technique.
The host has completed the task; the reward has been issued.
The system appeared promptly after the Chunin Exams ended.
Kitazawa nodded in satisfaction.
The Water Transformation Technique is an excellent life-saving skill that can play a crucial role in critical moments.
"Let's go, come with me to see the Hokage."
Kakashi Hatake withdrew his gaze and said.
In this Chunin Exam, only the battles of Kitazawa's three students were barely worth his attention.
Chapter 174 Kitazawa becomes the team leader
The Hokage's office.
"Kitazawa, your three students have given me a wonderful surprise."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a big smile.
Kitazawa understood immediately upon hearing this.
Old Deng must have turned into a peeping tom again, watching Yakushi Kabuto and the others' battle with his crystal ball.
Kitazawa glanced at the crystal ball on the table.
Once Tsunade becomes Hokage, he'll have to get his hands on this crystal ball.
After all, leaving it to Hiruzen Sarutobi would be too dangerous.
"I remember you said before that you were only acting as a temporary team leader?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and asked.
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded in response.
"Your three students are among the best in their age group in terms of talent and ability, and they also cooperate very well."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "I think your ninja squad can be kept."
Kitazawa was taken aback.
He was surprised, yet felt it made perfect sense.
After all, this ninja squad has great potential.
While separating them wouldn't have much of an impact, there's a chemical reaction when geniuses come together.
They are especially invincible in team battles, and the three of them complement each other perfectly.
Kabuto Yakushi used his clever and flexible mind to provide the ninja team with plans and strategies.
At the same time, he is also a medical ninja and a wind-style ninja, serving as both a healer and a fire support.
Uchiha Izumi possesses the Sharingan, which allows her to both fight and control.
Aburame Torune can be used for reconnaissance and combat.
Furthermore, the nano-sized venomous insects raise the ceiling of their ninja squad, giving them the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.
This configuration is comprehensive and powerful.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, once they grow up, they can take on many challenging tasks.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Konoha Village.
"My idea is for you to be their team leader."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then said, "If you don't want to, then change it to Kakashi."
Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha were all too young.
To unlock their talents, you need an excellent mentor.
Kitazawa is undoubtedly the first choice.
It wasn't just because he was quite skilled, but also because he discovered and assembled this ninja team.
Without him, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never have known that Root also had two hidden gems: Kabuto Yakushi and Torune Aburame.
The same applies to Uchiha Izumi.
Her previous ninja squad was good, but her performance was far inferior to what she has now.
The only explanation is that with two less burdensome teammates gone, she can finally unleash her full potential without restraint.
Kitazawa fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
His initial plan was simple: to help the pharmacist out and, incidentally, complete a system task.
Once Kabuto Yakushi becomes a Chunin, he can wash his hands of the matter.
After all, Chunin are already able to form their own teams to carry out missions.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's desire to preserve this ninja team caused him some hesitation.
Unlike typical Jonin who lead teams, he has a fixed job: attending classes at the Ninja Academy.
how to say?
I can definitely take them on, but I don't have that much time to accompany them on missions. I can only spend time with them on Saturdays and Sundays at most.
Just then, four lines of text appeared before Kitazawa's eyes.
Your performance in the Chunin Exams impressed the Hokage, who granted you permission to become a team leader.
Current mission: Lead your ninja squad to complete 90 D-rank missions within a month and make a name for yourself.
Mission Reward: Lightning Release: Chidori.
Whether to accept? 】
You really are an intelligent... intelligent system.
After seeing the first line of text, Kitazawa couldn't help but want to complain.
I ask you, what exactly did I do?
From beginning to end, it was Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha who were performing; he was just an audience member.
As a result, in the system's eyes, he became the MVP?
But after seeing the mission reward, Kitazawa could only say that he had been too loud earlier and apologized.
Lightning Release: Chidori is the most famous of the Lightning Release ninjutsu in the original work.
One reason is that it was created by Kakashi Hatake.
Secondly, it's because it's a lightning-style ninjutsu frequently used by one of the male protagonists, Uchiha Sasuke.
If Naruto Uzumaki used a single Rasengan until the very end, then Sasuke Uchiha used a single Chidori until the very end.
He also developed a series of lightning-style ninjutsu based on Chidori, such as Chidori Stream, Chidori Blade, and Six Paths Power: Chidori.
"Since the Hokage says so, I will agree."
Kitazawa snapped out of his daze and said.
He has a lot of chakra now, and it will definitely increase in the future.
If he's really too busy, he can send his shadow clones to class while he takes Kabuto and the others on missions.
Furthermore, once all three members of a ninja team reach the Jonin level, the team can be disbanded.
After all, it would be a waste to put four Jonin together.
Kitazawa felt that with Kabuto and the others' talent, they would probably become Jonin in a few years.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kitazawa."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with satisfaction.
After finishing their business, Kitazawa wasted no time, said goodbye, and left.
He returned to the Anbu base, where Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha were still there.
After the Chunin Exams, they did not immediately become Chunin; they still had to go through a process.
When Kitazawa arrived, they had just finished registering.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
The three of them saw him and quickly went up to him.
"I just went to see the Hokage."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "The Hokage has praised you highly."
