Choji Akimichi stared at him with wide eyes, his heart aching.
Fortunately, Naruto only took one piece.
"Shikamaru, what did you mean by that just now?"
Kiba Inuzuka walked along, chewing on potato chips.
"He means you can't even beat me, let alone Naruto."
Yamanaka Ino said with a smile.
"impossible!"
Kiba Inuzuka replied without hesitation, "Your secret technique can't control me at all!"
"Teacher Kitazawa taught me a new ninjutsu."
Yamanaka Ino blinked and said.
"..."
Kiba Inuzuka hesitated, suddenly losing his earlier confidence.
After all, his biggest trump card right now, the Hellhound, was taught by Kitazawa.
In addition, he spent his winter vacation at home learning dental techniques, so it's really unknown what Yamanaka Ino learned.
"nothing."
Nara Shikamaru yawned and said nonchalantly, "Tenth place is not bad even if we can't get first place."
"Mr. Kitazawa said that our class will undergo major reforms."
Yamanaka Ino glanced at him and said, "You might not even get tenth place."
"What reforms?"
Nara Shikamaru felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard that.
Because it's obvious that it's extremely troublesome.
"do not know."
Yamanaka Ino shook her head and said, "When we get to the classroom, Kitazawa-sensei will naturally tell us."
The group chatted as they walked into the ninja academy.
Along the way, they encountered Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Hyuga Hinata, further expanding their group.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Naruto Uzumaki ran up to Kitazawa after seeing him.
Hinata Hyuga took a step forward and then pulled it back.
She could only watch helplessly as Naruto Uzumaki stole her chance.
"Good morning."
Kitazawa nodded slightly and said, "Don't register yet, go back to your seat."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others returned to their seats.
Have you noticed any problems?
After observing for a while, Nara Shikamaru asked, "Why did some students come and then leave?"
"That is indeed very strange."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.
"Could it be related to the reforms that Professor Kitazawa mentioned?"
Yamanaka Ino pondered and asked.
"Most likely."
Sakura Haruno suddenly let out a soft "Eh?" and asked, "Why are Neji and Tenten here?"
"What happened? My sister too?"
Kiba Inuzuka noticed Hana Inuzuka outside the door.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened.
The same applies to Hyuga Neji, Inuzuka Hana, Tenten, and others.
"Come in, all of you."
Kitazawa waved to the crowd outside the door.
Hyuga Neji, Inuzuka Hana, and the others entered the classroom.
"From today onwards, you will all be joining Class 1A."
Kitazawa made a startling statement.
"what?"
Whether they were students from the original Class A of the first year or students from other classes like Hyuga Neji, they all showed expressions of shock.
"This is the school's reform, putting the top 30 students in the whole school into one class."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "Welcome to the genius class."
Chapter 204 Gifted Classes and Personalized Education
"Do you have any questions?"
After Kitazawa explained what a "gifted class" was, he asked...
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Nara Shikamaru raised his hand and asked, "Will there be any changes to the members of the genius class?"
"Yes, the gifted class will adopt a bottom-ranking challenge system."
Kitazawa explained, "The bottom ten students in each monthly exam will be challenged by students from other classes. If they fail, they will switch places with them."
"This is such a hassle."
Nara Shikamaru sighed and said.
This means he has to stay in the top 20.
Nowadays, the gifted classes are full of geniuses, including many fifth and sixth graders, making it much more difficult for him to get into the top twenty.
"Is it really that cruel?"
Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened.
At the same time, he also felt fortunate.
Thanks to the hellhound given to him by Kitazawa, otherwise he would not have been confident of staying in the genius class.
"Youth is all about facing challenges without fear!"
Rock Lee clenched his fist and said excitedly.
"Little Li is right!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said with a big smile, "Youth and challenges go hand in hand!"
Uchiha Sasuke quickly scanned the students who had just joined Class 1-A.
After a moment, he felt relieved.
Because apart from Neji Hyuga, no one poses a threat to him.
This gifted class is actually pretty much the same as before; there are only a few people competing for first place.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Yamanaka Ino waved her hand and asked curiously, "So what will we study from now on?"
Today, gifted students range from first to sixth grade.
Whether it's theory or practice, their learning progress differs.
This is something she can't understand.
Does this mean they are going to all learn a new course?
“We will tailor a learning plan for each of you based on your individual abilities.”
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "This is also the advantage of the genius class compared to other classes, allowing you to become stronger faster."
"Isn't this just like the ninja squad model?"
Sakura Haruno felt a sense of déjà vu.
"My carefree ninja academy life is over."
Upon hearing this, Nara Shikamaru's vision went black.
Everyone has a different learning plan, so it's impossible for him to slack off like before. This is simply... a dead end.
Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.
He felt this method was quite good for a genius like him, saving unnecessary time.
After all, he had already mastered most of what the ninja academy taught.
"Teacher Kitazawa, does this mean we don't have to do homework anymore?"
Naruto asked excitedly.
"The learning plan includes both theory and practice. Iruka will teach you the theory."
Kitazawa glanced at him and said.
"We still need to do practice problems."
Naruto's expression froze, and he immediately became very dejected.
"Youth is fearless; what's so scary about doing a few math problems?"
Rock Lee patted him on the shoulder and said with great enthusiasm.
After he transferred to Class 1-A, he became Naruto's deskmate.
"That's true!"
Naruto Uzumaki perked up and said.
"Xiao Li, you always come in last place in the theory exams."
Tian Tian couldn't help but complain.
"...?"
Naruto Uzumaki instinctively looked at Rock Lee.
I did my best!
Lee Rock said matter-of-factly, "That's already living up to the promise of youth!"
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Kiba Inuzuka glanced at Hana Inuzuka and asked, "How do students in the genius class graduate? Is the standard still the Three Body Technique?"
"It's not the Three Bodies Technique, it's a practical combat assessment."
Kitazawa chuckled and said, "As for how to graduate, it's similar to before. You can apply after you reach the age of twelve."
"Can't we graduate early?"
Kiba Inuzuka asked again.
"It can be done earlier."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "If you believe your strength meets the requirements, you can apply. It will still be a practical assessment."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's heart stirred.
