"Hong, you're so kind."
Kitazawa's fingers traced her soft red lips.
The next second, he grimaced.
Kitazawa leaned back, and in his line of sight, Kurenai Yuhi, shaking her head, stood out, her snow-white skin contrasting with the color of her lipstick.
He stared at the familiar ceiling, trying to focus his attention.
But he did not succeed.
After all, his intelligence has already fallen out of its prime.
Kitazawa's gaze was unfocused, his thoughts drifting far away.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sat up.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa looked at Kurenai Yuhi, and when he noticed that her lipstick was dull, he said, "I'll take you to buy lipstick another day."
Kurenai rolled her eyes.
After taking a few deep breaths and swallowing, she said nothing and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
Kitazawa stretched, stood up, and went into the kitchen.
Although Kurenai had already sneaked a lot of food, it was not a proper meal after all.
She doesn't have time right now, so he'll be cooking dinner.
The next day, Monday.
During the day, Kitazawa continued to practice Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall.
That evening, he gave Yuhi Kurenai another good talking-to, making her agree to all sorts of requests while she was rambling on and on.
The price for doing this was that Kitazawa was kicked out by her after waking up.
But it doesn't matter.
He was supposed to go out today because it was Tuesday, and the gifted class was about to have its first practical lesson after the reform.
When Kitazawa arrived at the office, he saw Hinata Hyuga sitting on the sofa.
He was slightly taken aback, as he hadn't expected this.
Since he started living at Yuhi Kurenai's house, he no longer eats breakfast at school, but instead eats breakfast with Yuhi Kurenai.
Occasionally, Tsunade and Shizune would come over for a free meal.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Hinata Hyuga jumped off the sofa with a look of surprise and ran to him.
Have you had breakfast?
Kitazawa patted her head and asked.
"Just about to eat."
Hinata Hyuga replied, "But I didn't expect Kitazawa-sensei to come."
She had developed a habit of eating breakfast in his office most of the time, even if Kitazawa didn't come.
"I didn't eat breakfast today."
Kitazawa asked with a smile, "Can I mooch a meal from you?"
"of course can!"
Hinata Hyuga blushed upon hearing this, appearing very happy.
She hadn't eaten with Kitazawa for a while.
"These are rice balls I made myself."
Hinata Hyuga handed over the rice ball with an expectant look on her face.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa took a bite, his eyes brightening slightly, and said, "It tastes good."
Although it's a rice ball, it's not vegetarian; Hinata Hyuga added a lot of ham and pork floss, among other things.
Kitazawa guessed it was because she had a big appetite, so he had to add high-calorie ingredients to everything.
Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After finishing their meal, the two went to the school playground.
On the playground, all the students in the gifted class had arrived.
"Senior Kosuke."
Kitazawa stepped forward and greeted Maruhoshi Kosuke.
Kakashi Hatake hasn't arrived yet.
That's normal, though.
In the original work, Kakashi Hatake was known for being late.
Fortunately, it wasn't nine o'clock yet, so I wasn't late.
A moment later, the school bell rang, and Kakashi Hatake arrived late.
Did you encounter a lost cat on the road?
Kitazawa asked jokingly.
"I'm not that naive."
Kakashi Hatake said calmly.
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the lesson."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, divide into six groups according to the group assignments from Sunday."
The gifted students immediately followed suit and formed six columns.
With 30 students in the class, that averages out to five students per row.
Compared to the four-person configuration of the ninja team, it's not much different.
If the ninja squad is like a small class, then the current genius class can be considered a kind of middle-class education.
"Fire Release, Wind Release, and Special Group, follow me."
Kitazawa did not interfere with Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi.
They are all Jonin, and even if they are not good at teaching, they can still teach these students a lot with just a little bit of instruction.
Kitazawa arrived at the empty playground next door.
He looked at the three groups he was teaching, which were more than half full, a total of seventeen people.
Apart from Sasuke Uchiha who went to the Lightning Release training group, all twelve Konoha 12 were with him.
The main reason is that most of the Konoha 12 are from ninja clans and have their own secret techniques, so they don't need to learn the Five Elements Ninjutsu.
For example, Hinata, Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, and Aburame.
Sakura Haruno, who is not from a ninja clan, learned medical ninjutsu; Karin learned sealing techniques; and Rock Lee and Tenten learned taijutsu.
Aside from throwing ninja tools, Tenten mainly uses taijutsu.
Yakumo Kurama, on the other hand, learned illusion magic.
"In the first lesson, I won't teach anything else; I'll just get to know everyone's abilities first."
Kitazawa formed hand seals and used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
After a puff of smoke cleared, sixteen more Kitazawa appeared on the field.
"Neji, spar with me."
Kitazawa, as the original being, chose Hyuga Neji.
The reason is that he has the mission of defeating Naruto Uzumaki.
Although Kitazawa had been watching Hyuga Neji train, he could gain a clearer understanding of Neji's specific strengths and weaknesses through actual combat.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Hyuga Neji took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.
Meanwhile, Kitazawa's shadow clones also became close with the students.
Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!
Hyuga Neji knew Kitazawa's strength well, so he went all out from the start.
He activated his Byakugan, and struck Kitazawa's chakra points with both palms.
However, the campaign got off to a bad start.
Kitazawa stood still, and just as Kitazawa's palms were about to strike, Kitazawa kicked out.
The whirlwind kick, both fast and powerful, struck Hyuga Neji.
Although he reacted quickly and blocked the kick with his palms, he still staggered back several steps.
Before he could regain his footing, Kitazawa's attack was already upon him.
Neji Hyuga's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Is this Soft Fist?
In a moment of distraction, Bei Ze struck him in the chest, sending him flying.
"In the midst of battle, no matter what happens, don't lose focus."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "Although I didn't roll my eyes, after watching your training for a while, I've learned a few moves of Gentle Fist."
Hyuga Neji stood up, and upon hearing this, a look of realization appeared on his face.
Kitazawa's Gentle Fist is just an empty shell.
Because he doesn't have Byakugan and can't see chakra points.
Otherwise, that palm strike could have sealed his chakra points, paralyzing him.
Hyuga Neji accelerated and moved forward again.
But the more he fought, the more shocked he became.
Because in the Gentle Fist style, he was completely suppressed by Kitazawa.
Despite being an empty shell and lacking any pressure points, the pressure he faced was even greater than that exerted by Hyuga Hiashi.
Bagua Empty Palm!
Hyuga Neji was covered in sweat from the fight.
After a very messy close-quarters fight, he immediately created distance and slapped with his right hand.
The compressed chakra transformed into an invisible shockwave in the air.
"You've learned Bagua Kongzhang quite well; you've barely made it into the basics."
Kitazawa commented and dodged his Bagua Empty Palm with a swift movement.
Neji Hyuga had not yet fully mastered the Eight Trigrams Palm, so he appeared somewhat rusty.
That's enough for now.
Kitazawa stopped him, saying, "I already know about your current situation."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Neji felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him, causing him to collapse to the ground.
However, he didn't feel embarrassed because everyone did it.
He was actually one of the students who persisted the longest.
Most students lost faster and more badly than him.
Hinata Hyuga was about the same as him, only Naruto Uzumaki lasted longer than him.
