"Come to the Ninja Academy tomorrow and we'll go to the mission hall together to accept a high-level mission."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
"Okay, Kitazawa-sensei."
The three, including Kabuto, did not linger and turned to leave.
Kitazawa glanced at the students in training and, finding no problems, went to the deserted Death Forest outside the village.
Lightning Release: Chidori!
Kitazawa formed a hand seal and then extended his right hand.
The deafening sound of thunder was like the chirping of a thousand birds.
Lightning flashed and instantly covered his right hand.
Kitazawa activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
The next second, he arrived in front of a tree in the distance.
Lightning Release: Thousand Birds descended, causing the tree trunk to tremble violently and develop deep cracks.
The cracks spread like a spider web, leaving a trail of charred black in their wake.
Kitazawa withdrew his hand, looked at the tree he had pierced, and nodded slightly.
Lightning Release: Chidori has two characteristics: high speed and penetrating power.
Of course, there's also the paralyzing effect that lightning comes with.
The Rasengan, being a type of chakra without elemental affinity, lacks these characteristics.
However, its positive impact is greater.
But it's pretty much the same. Given the ninja's high attack and low defense constitution, being hit by the Rasengan and Lightning Release: Chidori without any warning would result in serious injury even if they didn't die.
After testing Lightning Release: Chidori, Kitazawa returned to the school's artificial lake to practice Water Release: Instant Water.
As the sun sets, dusk arrives.
"That concludes today's training. Everyone, go back and rest."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said.
Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!
After saying goodbye to Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka, they turned and left.
Kitazawa glanced at it subconsciously.
Because they were going back together today, including Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Karin.
Kitazawa withdrew his gaze.
He didn't pay any attention and left the ninja academy.
At the school gate, he raised an eyebrow, sensing that someone was watching him.
Kitazawa smiled and continued walking towards Kurenai's house.
A moment later, Nara Shikamaru's head peeked out from the wall not far away.
He glanced in the direction Kitazawa had left and said, "Teacher Kitazawa is gone!"
The next second, the wall shook, and Choji Akimichi appeared.
"Get out!"
Nara Shikamaru's expression changed slightly, and he said, "This wall is about to collapse!"
"Oh."
Choji Akimichi landed on both feet again.
"Shikamaru!"
Naruto's voice rang out, "We're here!"
"We're coming right now."
Nara Shikamaru leaped down and said, "Let's go, Choji."
He and Choji Akimichi did not participate in the winter break training, so they waited at the school gate ahead of time.
They were startled when they saw Kitazawa, but thankfully he didn't notice them.
"Shikamaru."
Naruto Uzumaki said with a regretful look, "It's a pity you didn't come to train with us. We all have new training now."
"No regrets, no regrets!"
Nara Shikamaru quickly shook his head and said, "Please don't mention me in front of Kitazawa-sensei!"
He earned this winter break by ranking in the top ten of his final exams.
He wouldn't participate in any special training, not even if you killed him.
"You can escape this winter break, but you can't escape next semester."
Yamanaka Ino said with a smile.
"We'll talk about next semester's issues next semester."
Nara Shikamaru, looking completely nonchalant, said, "Besides, I can practice Yin Release chakra nature transformation at home."
“You’re right, but my special training is no longer about practicing Yin Release chakra nature transformation.”
With her hands on her hips and a confident look on her face, Yamanaka Ino said, "Next semester, you will definitely no longer be my opponent."
Nara Shikamaru was taken aback.
Over the past two semesters, they have also had several exchanges.
Overall, it's a 60/40 chance, with him having a 60% chance of winning.
The reason is that the secret techniques of the Nara clan are more suitable for individual use than those of the Yamanaka clan.
What new training could make her so confident?
Nara Shikamaru nipped his curiosity in the bud as soon as it arose.
For him, enjoying the winter vacation is the most important thing.
Even if he gets beaten up by Yamanaka Ino, that's him in the future, not him now.
"Is everyone here?"
Kiba Inuzuka interrupted their conversation and asked.
"Sasuke and Sakura haven't arrived yet."
Karin looked around and said.
"I have already informed them."
Nara Shikamaru paused for a moment and then said, "They should arrive soon."
Uchiha Sasuke hasn't started his special training yet, so he's at home today.
Sakura Haruno's special training remained unchanged; she continued to intern at Konoha Hospital while learning medical ninjutsu.
"There are still three people who haven't been notified."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said, "Kabuto-senpai, Izumi-senpai, and Torane."
The three of them formed a ninja team and became Kitazawa's students, so they were considered one of their own.
"Sorry, I forgot to call them."
Naruto scratched his head and said.
"fine."
Aburame Shino volunteered, saying, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go find them."
"Ino!"
Sakura Haruno's excited voice rang out.
Yamanaka Ino glanced at her subconsciously and immediately understood why she was so happy.
Because next to Sakura Haruno was Sasuke Uchiha, with his hands in his pockets.
They must have met by chance on the street.
What are the plans for today?
Sakura Haruno asked curiously, "Didn't we already decide what birthday present to buy?"
"Let's go to the shopping street together to buy birthday presents."
Ino Yamanaka replied, "I'll decide how to give the gift to Kitazawa-sensei after I buy it."
"Why not just give it to Kitazawa-sensei on his birthday?"
Sakura Haruno asked in confusion.
"That's true, but we need to keep it a secret as much as possible so that we can give Kitazawa-sensei the biggest surprise."
Yamanaka Ino paused for a moment, then said, "We'll discuss the specifics of how to carry it out once everyone has arrived."
Not long after, Shino Aburame and Kabuto Yakushi appeared before them.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."
Not long after, Kabuto Yakushi said gently, "I think none of you have had dinner, so I brought you some snacks."
"Thank you, Senior Dou!"
Naruto Uzumaki happily accepted the takoyaki.
"It's nothing, just a little money."
After distributing the snacks, Kabuto said, "Let's go to the shopping street now."
Nara Shikamaru stroked his chin.
He felt that Yakushi Kabuto had become his pillar of support as soon as he arrived.
But it's alright. He's older and more experienced than them. Following him will save a lot of time.
"I learned about the commercial street when I was doing the mission earlier."
As Yakushi Kabuto walked, he said, "There are two very good gift shops on this street. They offer good quality products at reasonable prices, and have a wide variety of items."
Uchiha Izumi and Aburame Torune looked at each other in bewilderment.
When did this happen?
How could they not know?
And you even have time to learn about the surrounding area while doing tasks?
"Kabuto-senpai, are you guys doing a mission that regular ninjas do?"
Naruto Uzumaki was more interested in the mission.
"good."
The pharmacist said with a smile, "The kind of missions that can make money can be accepted in the mission hall."
"Is it possible to encounter a very powerful enemy?"
Naruto asked with great interest.
Kiba Inuzuka, Karin, and the others also looked at Kabuto Yakushi.
They were all filled with curiosity about the real life of a ninja.
"That depends on the mission level."
Kabuto explained the five levels of the mission to them.
Is that so?
Naruto scratched his head and said, "I thought we could do high-level missions right after graduation."
