"This is what Nara Shikaku said, sitting next to him."
He had thought it would be a big free-for-all with all the students in the school, but he didn't expect Kitazawa to specifically select the outstanding students.
This saves time and also takes into account the audience's experience.
As for why he was sitting to the left of Hiruzen Sarutobi, it was entirely because Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were not there.
On the right is Hiashi Hyuga, and further away is Fugaku Uchiha and his family.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.
He put down the flyer and glanced back, but didn't see Tsunade.
"Is the Hokage looking for someone?"
Hiashi Hyuga noticed his movements and asked a question.
"nothing."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm and changed the subject, asking, "I heard that Neji and Hinata have both learned Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms?"
"I haven't fully learned it, I've only mastered a part of it."
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
"The younger generation is truly formidable."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.
"It's all because of the Hokage's excellent leadership."
Hiashi Hyuga said politely.
"What's so interesting about a bunch of kids fighting? Why are you all here?"
A sudden sound rang out.
"Didn't you come too?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then chuckled and asked in return.
Tsunade is still so dishonest.
"Lady Tsunade."
The nearby ninjas greeted Tsunade.
Many people's eyes flashed with a strange light.
It's understandable that Hiruzen Sarutobi came to watch the student council selection practice.
He is the Third Hokage and the principal of the Ninja Academy; he should come and see the future of Konoha Village.
But what about Tsunade?
She had absolutely no connection with the ninja academy.
The only explanation is that it came from Kitazawa.
"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama."
Kitazawa walked over.
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded, then found an empty seat and sat down.
"Lord Hokage."
Kitazawa looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked, "Before the practical exam begins, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"In that case, I'll go up and say a few words."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said.
"Please go ahead."
Kitazawa suppressed the urge to complain, raised his hand, and said.
"Next, I'll briefly mention six points..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in the center of the field and began to speak eloquently.
"You shouldn't have let him go up there."
Tsunade pursed her lips and said.
What Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying was nothing more than the Will of Fire theory, which she had heard countless times.
"I have no choice but to follow the rules."
Kitazawa bent down slightly and said in a low voice.
He couldn't openly criticize the Hokage.
"If I had known, I would have come an hour later."
Tsunade said with a displeased look.
She wasn't afraid of criticizing the Hokage; she would even dare to curse Hiruzen Sarutobi to his face.
The two whispered to each other, and many people saw them.
The major ninja clans have once again confirmed that Kitazawa is Tsunade's student, but they just haven't made it public yet.
Even if they aren't students, they have to be trusted confidants.
Some Jonin who were not from ninja clans felt envious.
After all, in their eyes, Tsunade was destined to become the Fifth Hokage.
Kitazawa, a commoner ninja, was chosen by Tsunade, and his career took off.
Time passed slowly.
After speaking for half an hour, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally left the stage.
If it weren't for the upcoming practical exam, he could have talked for another two hours.
"I now declare the semester's final exams and student council selection process officially underway!"
Kitazawa walked to the center of the field and announced loudly, "This practical exercise will be conducted using a random matching method. Those who perform well will advance to the next round."
After he finished speaking, he took out a lottery box.
But this time, instead of letting the students draw the lots themselves, he did it.
The advantage of doing this is that it keeps the suspense alive and makes the game more exciting.
In fact, the joint Chunin Exams in the original work adopted this method.
Kitazawa was just copying the pattern.
He reached out and took out two small slips of paper from the lottery box.
"The first match: Naruto Uzumaki versus Rock Lee!"
Kitazawa glanced at the name on the small piece of paper and announced.
"Am I the first one?"
Naruto asked in surprise, "And the opponent is actually Rock Lee?"
He immediately felt like he was experiencing double happiness.
A sparring match between two taijutsu ninjas can be summed up in three words: exhilarating!
"Naruto!"
Lee Rock shouted excitedly.
"Little Li!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "Let them see our youth!"
"The clash of youths—just thinking about it gets my blood pumping!"
Rock Lee clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"Naruto, Lee, don't let your youth be filled with regrets!"
Matt Kay suddenly stood up and shouted.
The nearby ninjas instinctively looked at him.
Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi turned their heads at the same time, feeling regret in their hearts. They shouldn't have sat next to him!
"Teacher Kai!"
Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee shouted in unison, "We will definitely live up to our youth!"
The next second, the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The entire playground suddenly fell into an eerie atmosphere.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of unease.
After all, many of the Jonin present knew that he was Naruto Uzumaki's guardian.
"I wonder what Minato and Kushina would think if they saw this."
Tsunade couldn't help but smile and said.
"Young people are naturally energetic, it's normal for them to be."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for two seconds before trying to find a way to smooth things over.
"..."
Nara Shikaku hesitated upon hearing this, unsure of what to say.
He could only be thankful that Nara Shikamaru was normal.
"Has he always been like this?"
Fugaku Uchiha, who was not far away, couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, seeing this scene, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't believe that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the perfect ninja Minato Namikaze.
"Ah."
Uchiha Izumi nodded.
After she became Kitazawa's student, she also had the misfortune of encountering such a situation.
Naruto Uzumaki did not suddenly develop a serious illness; he had been suffering from it for a long time.
"He looks very energetic."
Mikoto Uchiha racked her brains to comment.
"Fortunately, Sasuke isn't like him."
Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself.
If Sasuke Uchiha became like Naruto Uzumaki, he... he couldn't imagine it.
"Game start!"
Kitazawa couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up.
"Come on, Naruto!"
Rock Lee created some distance, clenched his fist, and said.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto swayed and launched a sweeping kick.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Rock Lee neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met the attack head-on with a kick.
Bang!
Their legs collided.
The two people were pushed backward by the clash of their forces.
