"I'll treat you to lunch."
Kitazawa used the simplest method to comfort Hinata Hyuga.
"Ok!"
Hinata Hyuga's eyes lit up, and her mood improved considerably.
"Round 3, Match 5..."
Kitazawa continued the draw after removing Hinata Hyuga from the field.
Time passed slowly.
The third round of practical exams has come to an end.
Overall, it did not exceed Kitazawa's expectations.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Naruto Uzumaki would lose two matches.
But upon closer reflection, it makes a lot of sense.
As their strength increases, anything can happen.
This is a good thing, as it allows us to accumulate more combat experience.
Losing at the Ninja Academy is no big deal, but losing outside of the Ninja Academy could cost you your life.
"Everyone, please take a short break. We will announce the rankings for this month's exam shortly."
After Kitazawa finished speaking, he went down to find Umino Iruka to do the statistics and ranking.
He and Iruka Umino both gave scores to each student.
To ensure fairness, their scores were averaged.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not leave immediately.
First, he wanted to see the specific rankings.
Secondly, he plans to talk to Kitazawa about the results of this monthly exam.
"I will announce the rankings of the theory exam first."
Ten minutes later, Kitazawa walked up to the genius class with the roster in hand. "First place, Nara Shikamaru. Second place..."
The rankings for this theory exam have changed significantly.
After Kitazawa finished speaking, the students in the genius class immediately erupted in chaos.
"How did I end up in fourth place?"
Sasuke Uchiha's face stiffened.
The joy of defeating Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat overshadowed.
Although he performed very well in the practical exam, he only ranked fourth in the theoretical exam. Overall, his first place is not secure.
If you can't get first place, what's the point of defeating Naruto Uzumaki?
"It's over!"
Kiba Inuzuka clutched his head, donned the mask of pain, and exclaimed, "I'm ranked nineteenth?"
He almost fell out of the top twenty.
Keep in mind that the gifted class only has thirty students, and the bottom ten will have to face challenges from other classes.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that his practical exam results were not bad, so he should not be kicked out of the genius class.
"The gifted class is indeed terrifying."
Tian Tian exclaimed, "I used to be second in Class A of the second grade, but now that I'm in the genius class, I've suddenly become tenth."
Neji Hyuga nodded slightly.
When he was in Class A of the second grade, he was always ranked one place higher than Tiantian, meaning he was number one.
From the moment he enrolled, he was number one, whether in theoretical or practical exams.
But when he got to the gifted class, he not only lost his first place, but he also lost his second place, becoming third.
In addition, the same applies to practical exams; I can't get first place.
"To be able to compete with geniuses, that's what youth is all about!"
Rock Lee clenched his fist and said.
Every day, the corner of his mouth twitches.
As someone who came in last place, where is your competitiveness?
"The rankings for the practical exam will be announced next."
Kitazawa's words stopped everyone's discussion, and they all looked at him.
The practical exam is different from the theoretical exam. They see every practical exam and the wins and losses are very clear.
They all had a general idea of the rankings.
But speculation is just speculation, and they are still very much looking forward to the specific rankings.
"First place, Kurama Yakumo."
Kitazawa glanced at the roster and said.
Under normal circumstances, Naruto Uzumaki would be number one.
After all, he was the only one who could defeat Yakumo Kurama by virtue of his immunity to genjutsu and his terrifying chakra.
However, Naruto Uzumaki lost to Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga in this monthly exam, so it would be inappropriate to give him first place again.
No one had any objection to Kurama Yakumo being in first place.
Except for Uchiha Sasuke.
But he was worried that he wouldn't get first place overall.
"Second place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Kitazawa continued to make announcements.
"That's great! Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno immediately exclaimed excitedly.
But when she turned around, she saw Uchiha Sasuke with a furrowed brow.
He was calculating who had a higher probability of winning first place overall.
Kurama Yakumo ranked first in the practical exam and sixth in the theoretical exam.
He ranked second in the practical exam and fourth in the theoretical exam.
Now it all comes down to Hyuga Neji's ranking.
"Third place, Hyuga Neji."
Kitazawa said calmly.
He was debating whether Uchiha Sasuke or Hyuga Neji should be ranked second when he was ranking them.
The main issue is that in this practical exam, they didn't become opponents to spar.
However, considering Sasuke Uchiha's outstanding performance in the battle against Naruto Uzumaki, he was ultimately ranked second.
"This is troublesome, the rankings are just too close."
Uchiha Sasuke stood there expressionless.
But in reality, he was very unsettled.
Hyuga Neji ranked third in both the theoretical and practical exams.
All things considered, he's about the same.
Kurama Yakumo is also very similar.
"Fourth place: Naruto Uzumaki. Fifth place: Hinata Hyuga. Sixth place: Shino Aburame. Seventh place: Ino Yamanaka."
Kitazawa read it out in one breath: "Eighth place, Tenten. Ninth place, Nara Shikamaru. Tenth place, Inuzuka Kiba."
"Seventh place!"
Yamanaka Ino perked up and seemed very happy.
The last student council selection competition was also a school-wide ranking, but she couldn't even get into the top ten.
Now, two months later, she has learned the two ninjutsu techniques that Kitazawa gave her, and has jumped to seventh place.
She can be considered to have made the most progress.
"Fortunately, we're in the top ten."
Kiba Inuzuka breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to his ranking in the theoretical exam, he will at least not be ranked in the challenge zone.
"Eleventh place, Hana Inuzuka. Twelfth place, Rock Lee. Thirteenth place, Sakura Haruno..."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "These are the complete rankings for this month's practical exam."
Who do you think is the overall number one?
Kiba Inuzuka glanced at Sasuke Uchiha and asked.
"Does that even need to be asked?"
Yamanaka Ino smiled and said, "Yakumo, Neji, and Sasuke, one of the three of them."
"It must be Sasuke!"
Sakura Haruno clenched her fist and said.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of unease.
"The final rankings are now being announced."
Kitazawa turned a page, looked at the roster, and said, "First place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, and Kurama Yakumo are quite similar.
However, Kurama Yakumo ranked the lowest in the theory exam, only sixth.
Neji Hyuga ranked one place higher than Sasuke Uchiha in the theoretical exam, but their scores were not far apart.
Overall, Sasuke Uchiha scored the highest and became number one.
"what?"
Uchiha Sasuke asked instinctively.
He couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Sasuke-kun, you're number one!"
Sakura Haruno quickly said.
"Am I really number one?"
Sasuke Uchiha paused for a moment, then suddenly grinned and burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"
There was no way around it; he had been suppressing his feelings for too long.
This first place was hard-won.
Kitazawa smiled as he watched Uchiha Sasuke laughing wildly.
It's good to let him get a little cocky first; when he fails next time, he'll learn a lot from it.
"Second place, Kurama Yakumo."
After Kitazawa and Sasuke Uchiha finished laughing, he continued, "Third place, Hyuga Neji."
