"Youth is all about embracing challenges!"
Lee Locke clenched his fist and said, "I'm really looking forward to the challenges from the other classes!"
"Did you already have a premonition that you were going to come in last place?"
He constantly undermines others and asks questions.
Lee Rock scratched his head sheepishly.
Although he did well in the practical exam, he did terribly in the theoretical exam, and overall he ended up at the bottom of the class.
"With our abilities, we shouldn't be kicked out of the genius class."
Shino Aburame said calmly.
"Alright, go train."
Kitazawa arrived at the Ninja Academy's training ground, stopped, and said, "Neji, you stay here."
Uchiha Sasuke and the others immediately left and, according to their respective groups, began training with Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Hyuga Neji looked at Kitazawa with curiosity.
Was he left behind alone to teach him new ninjutsu?
"Your training today is still practical and focused, but it's more targeted."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "Didn't you want to defeat Naruto? Then I'll fight you using the ninjutsu that Naruto learned."
Hyuga Neji was somewhat moved upon hearing this.
In his view, this approach was completely unfair to Naruto.
Kitazawa is indeed a good teacher for going to such lengths for him.
But the next second, he sensed something subtle.
Because Kitazawa used the Transformation Jutsu, he transformed into Naruto Uzumaki.
This looks really strange.
"bring it on."
Kitazawa waved to him.
Hyuga Neji immediately accelerated and rushed towards him.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Kitazawa shouted and created thirty shadow clones.
Hyuga Neji's gaze sharpened, but he did not slow down.
Because Kitazawa imitated Naruto's shouting ninjutsu, he revealed who his true identity was.
Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!
When Hyuga Neji arrived in front of Kitazawa's main body, he unleashed both palms without hesitation.
"Good, very decisive."
Kitazawa stood still, finished his commentary, and shouted, "Leaf Whirlwind!"
He kicked it out.
Seeing this, Hyuga Neji was secretly delighted.
He slapped Kitazawa's foot with his palm, the force of which made him stagger back two steps.
But he endured the pain and struck Kitazawa's chakra point on his calf with another palm strike.
A dull sound rang out.
Kitazawa sensed a stagnation of chakra in his right leg.
He quickly pulled his right leg back, but became unsteady due to the unfamiliarity with the position.
Seeing this, Hyuga Neji was preparing to press his advantage, but he forgot about Kitazawa's shadow clone.
"Leaf Double Whirlwind!"
A spinning kick from the left and a spinning kick from the right came at me.
Left with no other option, Hyuga Neji could only resort to defense.
Just then, Kitazawa, in his true form, delivered a powerful elbow strike, knocking him to the ground.
Hyuga Neji felt dizzy.
After a few seconds, he struggled to stand up again.
"This is my response based on Naruto's personality."
Kitazawa said calmly, "If you get entangled with his main body, he will most likely choose to exchange injuries with you and then let his shadow clone defeat you."
"so what should I do?"
Hyuga Neji asked very humbly.
"Either you defeat him in an instant, or you launch a feint."
Kitazawa replied.
“Naruto’s taijutsu is not weak, and it will be difficult for me to defeat him before his shadow clones can react.”
Hyuga Neji thought for a moment and then said.
"Very good, you have a clear understanding of your own abilities."
Kitazawa said with satisfaction, "Then let's use a feint attack."
"How do we launch a feint attack?"
Hyuga Neji asked in confusion.
"Simply put, it's about stalling him until you find an opportunity, then defeating him with your Bagua Empty Palm."
Kitazawa patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ninja warfare is intelligence warfare. He doesn't know you know Bagua Kongzhang."
Upon hearing this, Neji Hyuga's face showed a thoughtful expression.
This method is actually similar to the strategy he used when he fought Naruto Uzumaki last time.
He just hadn't learned Bagua Kongzhang at the time.
"It's easy for me to say, but hard for you to do."
Kitazawa continued, "You need to try your best to hold out as long as possible against Naruto and his shadow clones."
"Ah."
Neji Hyuga nodded.
"Besides his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, you also need to learn how to deal with his Rasengan."
Kitazawa then changed the subject, saying, "The Rasengan is incredibly powerful; strictly speaking, it's even more troublesome than the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
Neji Hyuga's expression turned serious.
Kitazawa's meaning is actually quite simple.
The Rasengan is more direct and deadly than the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Because once he's hit, he'll have to admit defeat.
"But the Rasengan also has a drawback, which is that it cannot be released from the hand."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "Next, I will imitate Naruto and use various methods to hide the Rasengan, so that you can break it."
Neji Hyuga was startled.
This is indeed targeted combat training.
If he still can't beat Naruto Uzumaki after all this, then he has truly let Kitazawa down.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Neji became extremely alert.
Kitazawa smiled when he saw his serious expression.
If it were someone else, they might be targeted.
But it's difficult for Naruto Uzumaki because he progresses too quickly.
He's not yet an invincible numerical monster.
Once he masters the power of the Nine-Tails, everything Hyuga Neji has learned today will be in vain.
But it wasn't just Hyuga Neji.
Aside from Sasuke Uchiha, it would be difficult to find another person of Naruto's age who could rival him.
But we'll talk about the future later.
Night fell.
A base located at the base of roots outside Konoha Village.
Although it was already past closing time, the place was still bustling with activity.
Uchiha Itachi silently sneaked into the room where the data was stored.
There is a barrier at the entrance.
Only Root ninjas can open it.
Itachi Uchiha's method was simple: he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and controlled a Root ninja.
He went into the room and asked the Root ninja to keep watch for him.
Looking at the dazzling array of information, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Finding the experimental base of the Shinratani was no easy feat.
There was no way around it; not only were there many root bases, but each one was also extremely well-defended.
What's worse is that all the members of the Root have the Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue, so he can't ask them directly.
Even Root members controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan would trigger the Tongue Disaster Seal, thus being detected by Shimura Danzo.
Fortunately, he was very strong, and after tracking the Root ninjas multiple times, he finally located the experimental base.
Itachi Uchiha stepped forward and began to look through the documents.
The more he looked, the more horrified he became.
The research conducted by this group is utterly insane, and most of it involves human experimentation.
Itachi Uchiha fell into deep thought.
Experiments that can attract Tsunade's attention are definitely extraordinary.
Although the experiments here were frightening enough, he still felt that something was missing.
Itachi Uchiha formed hand seals and created three shadow clones.
Working together, the four of them quickly discovered an unusual experiment.
"Bullhead King, Shigaraki Tanuki led the experiment, top secret."
As Itachi Uchiha looked at the words on the cover, a thought suddenly struck him.
He quickly flipped down.
This is a failed experimental record.
It all boils down to one sentence: on a certain day of a certain month, the experiment failed for the nth time, and the reason for the failure was the uncontrolled explosion of chakra.
In addition, it was mentioned that the experimental subject was a spirit beast called Nue.
"explode?"
Itachi Uchiha seemed to be deep in thought.
He had naturally checked Xinleli.
After all, Kitazawa asked him to find out what Shigaraki Tanuki was researching.
