I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Page 380

Most of the team leaders are not as good as Kitazawa, Maruboshi Kosuke, and Hatake Kakashi.

"Everyone, go back and rest."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

Pressure is a motivator.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are incredibly talented, so there's no need to worry about them.

However, the remaining students don't have as much talent. At this point, putting pressure on them can help them perform exceptionally well.

Kitazawa left the classroom with the test paper.

He stopped when he reached the office door.

"How did you even learn to stalk your teacher?"

Kitazawa turned around and asked with a smile.

A moment later, Hinata Hyuga peeked out from the corner of the wall furtively.

When she met Kitazawa's gaze, her body trembled and her face turned red.

Hinata Hyuga hesitated for two seconds, then walked up to him, feeling embarrassed.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Kitazawa reached out and pinched her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Eat...eat."

Hinata Hyuga whispered.

"Then wait for me for an hour, I'll start grading the papers."

Kitazawa opened the door and sat down at his desk.

He directly used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, creating nine shadow clones.

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on her lips as she sat down on the sofa and began to wait.

Time passed slowly.

With the help of his shadow clones, Kitazawa completed grading thirty exam papers in just half an hour.

The rankings have changed significantly compared to the last final exam.

After all, Class A of the first year has become a genius class full of geniuses.

But most of the top ten are still those familiar names.

The first place went from Sakura Haruno to Shikamaru Nara.

Kitazawa could probably guess what Nara Shikamaru was thinking.

He is a person who dislikes trouble, so to avoid being challenged, he first gets a high score.

He can make adjustments based on this experience when the next monthly exam comes.

Second place went to Sakura Haruno, but third place no longer went to Sasuke Uchiha, but to Neji Hyuga.

Uchiha Sasuke became fourth, while Hyuga Hinata moved up two places to fifth.

Kurama Yakumo is in sixth place, and Karin remains in seventh place.

The eighth place went to Shino Aburame, the ninth to Ino Yamanaka, and the tenth to Tenten.

The top ten have seen the addition of Hyuga Neji and Tenten, resulting in relatively minor changes. The biggest changes are concentrated in the bottom twenty.

Kiba Inuzuka, who was originally ranked eleventh, was replaced by his older sister Hana Inuzuka, and he moved up to nineteenth place.

Naruto Uzumaki dropped three places to fifteenth.

Rock Lee, unsurprisingly, came in 30th place.

One reason is that he lacks talent in learning.

Secondly, it's because he focused all his efforts on physical skills.

Overall, Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka were the most affected.

Neither of them was good at theoretical exams to begin with.

It was thanks to Kitazawa's encouragement that they made progress.

Fortunately, they didn't fare too badly and maintained their position in the top twenty.

Considering their practical exams, it's impossible for them to be kicked out of the gifted class.

After all, only the bottom ten students will be challenged by students from other classes.

You came in fifth place this time.

Kitazawa looked up, met Hinata Hyuga's white eyes, and said with a smile.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga was taken aback.

How did they drop two places?

For a moment, she felt ashamed and felt sorry for Kitazawa.

"Shikamaru came in first place, and Neji came in third."

Kitazawa stood up and said, "Actually, your score hasn't changed much, so don't worry about it. Let's go eat."

Hinata Hyuga felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

She could accept losing to Nara Shikamaru and Hyuga Neji; it wasn't her fault.

"Let's go eat barbecue."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.

His net worth now exceeds 20 million taels, which allows him to improve his standard of living.

Hinata Hyuga swallowed hard when she heard the words "barbecue".

She had brought a bento box, but since she could have barbecue, she decided to save it for next time.

After eating the barbecue, Kitazawa escorted Hinata Hyuga home.

The next day, Friday, brought the main event: the practical exam.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Kitazawa scouted the ninja academy's training ground.

But then he saw an unexpected figure: Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was surrounded by students from the gifted class, his face beaming with smiles, looking very happy.

Kitazawa had not invited him beforehand, nor had he given him any prior notice.

This was a sudden attack.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

The reform of the gifted program was initiated by him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi most wanted to see the genius class achieve results, as this would also enhance his reputation.

It's perfectly normal for him to come and visit, as this is the first practical exam for the gifted class.

"Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa stepped forward to greet him.

"Kitazawa".

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "I've come uninvited, please don't take offense."

"It is our honor that the Hokage-sama can come."

Kitazawa responded.

"The gifted program has been running for a month now, I wonder what changes have occurred."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fell on Naruto Uzumaki and the others.

They won't let you down.

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi retreated to the edge of the playground and became a spectator.

"The first practical exam of the semester for the gifted class is now beginning."

Kitazawa walked to the center of the arena and said, "This exam will be conducted using a random matching system, and will consist of three rounds. Rankings will be based on performance."

Iruka Umino immediately brought out a lottery box.

But this time, it wasn't the students who drew the lots themselves; it was Kitazawa who drew them.

He continued the lottery method used in the previous student council selection exercise.

"The first match of the first round is between Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto."

Kitazawa announced, "Please welcome our two students to the stage."

"It's those two again?"

Kiba Inuzuka looked surprised.

Neji Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki faced off in the last final exam, which was also the student council selection battle.

Ultimately, Neji Hyuga lost to Naruto Uzumaki's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan.

"I feel that Naruto has a higher probability of winning."

Nara Shikamaru said casually.

Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and the others nodded.

They also favored Naruto Uzumaki, including Sasuke Uchiha.

Except for Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata Hyuga knew that Neji Hyuga had learned the Shadow Clone Technique and the Eight Trigrams Palm.

And most importantly, he received special training from Kitazawa during this period.

"Did they go head-to-head with Naruto?"

Hyuga Neji sensed something was amiss.

Could it be that Kitazawa pulled some strings behind the scenes?

But then he thought about it again and realized it was unlikely.

Kitazawa isn't that kind of person, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is right there. If he were caught cheating, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Neji again?"

Naruto scratched his head.

He likes close combat, but he dislikes Gentle Fist close combat because it requires sealing his chakra points, which makes him very uncomfortable to fight.

The last sparring session with Hyuga Neji proved this point; he was at a disadvantage at every turn and almost lost to him.

"Naruto!"

Rock Lee gave a thumbs up and said, "For youth!"

"I'm going!"

Naruto Uzumaki was immediately filled with fighting spirit and stepped into the arena.

Hyuga Neji, recalling what Kitazawa had taught him, came to stand opposite him.

He assumed a soft fist stance and said, "Please."

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto Uzumaki used the same old tactic: as soon as the battle began, he created thirty shadow clones.

The shadow clones immediately dispersed, forming three separate lines.
