Genin cannot perform missions alone; they must be accompanied by a mentor.
Chunin cannot perform missions alone, but they can team up with other Chunin to perform missions.
"Dou, you're in charge of this."
Kitazawa looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Yakushi Kabuto immediately responded.
"Once you've mastered Wind Release: Vacuum Ball, I'll ask the Hokage to let you participate in the Jonin Exams."
Kitazawa reached out, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Aburame Torune and Uchiha Izumi instinctively showed surprise.
They've only been Chunin for less than three months, and their teammates are already going to be promoted to Jonin?
Although they also wanted to participate in the Jonin Exams, they were all aware of their limitations and knew they couldn't pass.
Aside from her nano-sized poisonous insects, Aburame Torune's strength was barely that of a Chunin.
Uchiha Izumi is considered one of the best among Chunin, but without the three-tomoe Sharingan, she cannot reach the level of a Jonin.
Even after I become a Jonin, I will still be your teammate.
Kabuto smiled gently and said, "And you will definitely become Jonin too, it just will be a little later than for me."
Aburame Torune and Uchiha Izumi both nodded upon hearing this.
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.
With Kabuto Yakushi around, he didn't have to worry about the ninja team having disagreements or infighting.
"Although you are more than capable of handling tasks below level A, you will occasionally encounter tasks that exceed your level."
Kitazawa advised, "If you notice anything wrong, come find me immediately."
After all, in the original work, Team 7 encountered Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, even while doing a C-rank mission.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Yakushi Kabuto paused for a moment, then asked, "Shall we go to the mission hall now?"
"can."
Kitazawa nodded and added, "Remember to let me review any missions that require you to go out."
"Ok."
After finishing his sentence, Kabuto Yakushi left the school with Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha.
Kitazawa withdrew his gaze and planned to go to the artificial lake to practice the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.
But just then, three lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[Current Task: Help Shino Aburame cultivate fire-resistant parasitic insects.]
[Mission Reward: Increases own Fire Release damage resistance by 10%.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Upon seeing this, Kitazawa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Was Shino Aburame's Fire Release: Parasitic Insect Mutation Experiment a complete success?
But it's not quite a complete solution.
After all, they only managed to cultivate two Parasite Insects that could counter regular Fire Release techniques.
One is three seconds, and the other is five seconds.
But that was enough for Shino Aburame.
More accurately, it represents a qualitative leap for the entire group of oil-producing women.
They will have a greater chance of winning against ordinary fire-style ninjas in the future.
Kitazawa clenched his fist.
He didn't feel any changes in his body.
This 10% fire damage resistance is barely anything.
After all, given his strength, not many fire-style techniques can hit him.
But something is better than nothing; the task still needs to be done.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
After walking a few steps, Kitazawa saw Shino Aburame looking excited.
Compared to his usual composed self, he was completely different.
"I succeeded!"
Shino Aburame stretched out her hands.
On the left hand are a bunch of three-second fireflies, and on the right hand are a bunch of five-second fireflies.
The latter looks like a larva, as if it has just been born.
"Congratulations."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "Maybe you'll make a name for yourself in the history of the Aburame clan in the future."
"I hadn't thought that much about it."
Shino Aburame paused for a moment, then said, "Besides, I didn't do anything. It was mainly Kitazawa-sensei's guidance."
"No need for formalities."
Kitazawa looked at the firefly in his hand and said, "I think the next step in our plan could be to cultivate fireflies with water resistance."
He happens to be practicing Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique recently, which can also help Shino Aburame complete his parasitic insect mutation experiment.
"I'll listen to Kitazawa-sensei."
Aburame Shino had no objections and agreed immediately.
[Current Task: Help Shino Aburame cultivate Parasites resistant to Water Release.]
[Mission Reward: Increases own Water Escape Damage Resistance by 10%.]
【Whether to accept? 】
There's not much to say about this task.
Kitazawa accepted the offer and went with Shino Aburame to the place where they had previously conducted the experiment.
Fire Release resistance is developed by burning with Fire Release ninjutsu.
The water-style resistance naturally needs to be constantly washed away by water-style ninjutsu.
After Kitazawa had Shino Aburame place the parasitic insects on the ground, he controlled his chakra and began practicing Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.
Tuesday was quickly coming to an end.
After school, Kitazawa did not leave immediately, but went to the school's conference room.
Because next week is the first monthly exam of this semester.
Although the reformed gifted class is quite special, students still have to take the monthly exams.
"Principal Kitazawa."
The teachers in the conference room greeted him one after another.
"Everyone's here, let's start the meeting."
Kitazawa walked onto the stage and sat in the main seat.
The meeting content remained largely unchanged; the teachers still set the questions, and he would then summarize them.
However, there is a difference: the gifted class will have its own set of questions, or rather, a separate test paper.
The reason is that the students in the gifted class come from all grades.
It's definitely not appropriate for them to get together now and do first-grade tests.
Kitazawa entrusted the matter to Iruka Umino.
After all, he was the theory teacher for the gifted class, so it was most appropriate for him to set the questions.
Of course, more importantly, Kitazawa didn't want to waste time on such things.
He is now the vice principal of the ninja academy, so he can delegate authority appropriately.
There's no need for someone like Naruto Uzumaki to do everything personally after becoming Hokage.
Kitazawa's style of doing things is similar to Tsunade's; he takes the opportunity to slack off.
In the ninja world, strength ultimately reigns supreme.
Hashirama Senju's talent as Hokage was far inferior to Tobirama Senju's, but he was still the God of Shinobi.
After the meeting, Kitazawa left the Ninja Academy.
As he walked, he pondered the first monthly exam of the semester.
For this monthly exam, he had only one task: to help Hyuga Neji defeat Uzumaki Naruto.
Although Naruto Uzumaki has been training, his strength has not changed significantly in the last two months, and he can be said to have stagnated.
Hyuga Neji learned the Shadow Clone Technique and the Eight Trigrams Palm.
In terms of strength, Naruto Uzumaki is still the better player.
However, he is young and inexperienced, so it's not as difficult for Hyuga Neji to defeat him once as he might have imagined.
After pondering for a moment, Kitazawa realized that the key to victory lay in the Bagua Empty Palm technique.
After all, in Naruto's mind, Gentle Fist was only for close combat; he wouldn't have imagined that there was also a ranged version of Gentle Fist.
"We can give Neji targeted combat training in the remaining week."
Kitazawa stroked his chin, thinking to himself.
The following day, Wednesday.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the students in the gifted class gathered on the playground.
"I have something to announce."
Kitazawa addressed the crowd and announced, "The first monthly exam of this semester will be held next Thursday and Friday."
"Has it been a month already?"
Naruto scratched his head and said, "Time seems to have flown by."
"Is it fast? I feel like every day is an eternity."
Nara Shikamaru said weakly.
When he was in Class A of the first grade, he was able to slack off during class.
After becoming part of the gifted class, he only had classes on Mondays; the other four days were all spent training, so he couldn't slack off even if he wanted to.
After all, Kitazawa's shadow clones would be watching him the whole time.
"It is indeed a bit fast. If I had another half month, I could have learned two more water-style ninjutsu."
Sakura Haruno said with a regretful expression.
She has only barely mastered Water Release: Water Chaos Wave.
Moreover, one Water Release: Water Chaos Wave is not enough to defeat Yamanaka Ino.
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
Yamanaka Ino raised her hand and elbowed her in the waist. "I learned two ninjutsu techniques that Kitazawa-sensei tailored specifically for me!"
"You actually have two?"
