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

"These are the final rankings for this monthly exam."

Kitazawa closed the roster and said, "Now, please have the students ranked 20th and below step forward."

Soon, ten students came up to him.

Their faces showed more or less tension and apprehension.

Because they knew very well what was going to happen next.

That means they will face challenges from outstanding students in other classes.

If they fail, they will be removed from the gifted program.

"Don't worry too much."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "You may not have noticed, but you have made great progress in the past month, enough to meet the challenges."

The ten students looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

But they still chose to believe Kitazawa, which put their minds at ease.

"Iruka."

Kitazawa handed the roster to Umino Iruka and said, "Go to each class and bring over the students who want to challenge."

"Ok."

Iruka Umino took the class roster and went to find the teachers of other classes.

The monthly exams for all classes at the Ninja Academy are held on the same day.

The gifted class has now finished its practical exams, and the other classes are doing much the same.

"You all should take a break now."

Kitazawa looked at everyone and said, "Once everyone is here, we'll begin the challenge."

Upon hearing this, the students in the gifted class all sat down on the playground.

This includes Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga, among others, who did not participate in the challenge.

They had to wait until the challenge session ended before they could leave.

"Kitazawa".

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and said, "I'll go first. Come to my office when you have time."

The rankings for the gifted class, which he was most interested in, had already been released, so there was no need for him to watch the remaining challenge segments.

Since it's just a bunch of noobs fighting each other anyway, he can just take a look at the new student list at the end.

However, his thoughts were similar to Kitazawa's: the advantage of the genius class was too great, and it would be difficult for students from other classes to successfully challenge it.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa immediately responded.

Time passed slowly.

Students from other classes arrived one after another.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Iruka Umino led in the last student from another class, "These are all the students participating in the challenge, a total of fifteen."

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "You take the lead."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the line of students in the gifted class who had not participated in the challenge.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately waved to him and said, "Sit here with me!"

"Teacher Kitazawa, come quick!"

Kiba Inuzuka followed closely behind and called out quickly.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Yamanaka Ino waved her hand and said urgently, "Here! Here!"

Hinata Hyuga, who was sitting next to her, immediately showed an expectant expression.

"It doesn't matter where you sit."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then sat down between Yamanaka Ino and Hyuga Hinata.

"I will now announce the rules for the challenge."

Iruka Unno announced loudly, "Each student in the gifted class is allowed a maximum of three challenges, and cannot be challenged consecutively..."

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Ino Yamanaka glanced at Sakura Haruno sitting next to Sasuke Uchiha and reached out to tug at Kitazawa's sleeve.

"what happened?"

Kitazawa looked down at her.

"Is Sakura learning Water Release techniques very quickly?"

Yamanaka Ino lowered her voice and asked.

"It is indeed not slow."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "He is one of the best among his peers."

Sakura Haruno is, after all, the female protagonist in the original work.

In terms of talent, there's no doubt about it.

His talent in medical ninjutsu is second only to Tsunade.

Water Release techniques are much easier to learn than medical ninjutsu, and since she is a natural water user, she is naturally very comfortable with them.

"Will I be able to beat her next time?"

Upon hearing this, Ino Yamanaka's little face showed a worried expression.

"Are you that insecure?"

Kitazawa smiled and asked.

"But I have a lot of confidence in Kitazawa-sensei."

Yamanaka Ino's eyes darted around, and she said playfully.

"Just say you want me to teach you new ninjutsu."

Kitazawa raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead.

"We still couldn't hide it from Kitazawa-sensei."

Yamanaka Ino touched her forehead and said with a smile.

[Current Task: Help Yamanaka Ino defeat Haruno Sakura in the next monthly exam.]

[Mission Reward: Mind Transference Clone Technique.]

【Whether to accept? 】

A task that offered no surprises.

The Mind Transference Clone Technique is an enhanced version of the Mind Transference Technique, allowing control of two targets.

Kitazawa had already learned the Mind Transfer Technique, so learning the Mind Transfer Clone Technique would be in line with the system's pattern of triggering missions.

However, for him, neither the Mind Transfer Technique nor the Mind Transfer Clone Technique was very effective.

But that's okay, let's accept it for now.

After all, he can use the same ninjutsu that he created.

For example, Ninja Art: Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom and Ninja Art: Moonlit Beauty are both relatively practical ninjutsu.

Since it involves illusion magic, he can also teach it to Kurenai Yuhi, which can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

"I'll teach you a new ninjutsu next week."

Kitazawa met Yamanaka Ino's pale blue eyes and said with a smile.

"Great!"

Yamanaka Ino instinctively clenched her fist and said, "Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"

While they were talking, the first practical challenge had already ended.

The winners were naturally the students in the gifted class.

He stood in the middle of the field, looking completely dazed.

Because he felt that winning was too easy.

He had a very difficult time in the previous three rounds of actual combat, to the point that he began to doubt himself.

But now he suddenly realizes that it's not that he's incapable, it's that the students in the gifted class are too amazing.

Now, when he's with students from other classes, his abilities immediately come into play.

Moreover, he is not an isolated case.

The challenge ended with all fifteen students failing.

Iruka Umino led them away, leaving them in shock.

"I won't say anything more. Everyone, go back now. See you next week."

Kitazawa stood up, walked to the front of everyone, and said with a smile, "Dismissed."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke turned and left.

He smiled, wishing he could teleport home in an instant.

Having finally won first place, he couldn't wait to tell Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi.

"Naruto."

Kitazawa called out to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Naruto looked up at him, somewhat puzzled.

"You lost to Neji and Sasuke today. Have you thought about why?"

Kitazawa smiled and asked.

"I think it's a lack of ability!"

Naruto Uzumaki, full of fighting spirit, said, "I will train even harder and strive to defeat them as soon as possible!"

"Your strength is about the same as theirs, but you don't know how to adapt to changing circumstances."

Kitazawa wasn't surprised to hear this; Naruto's thoughts, like his personality, were rather simple.

"Adaptability?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head.

"Simply put, you need to change your combat strategy based on your opponent's situation."

Kitazawa gave an example: "For instance, in your battle with Sasuke, why did you only think about using the Rasengan in the final stage?"

"If not the Rasengan, then what?"

Naruto asked, looking puzzled.

"Throw it with ninja tools."

Kitazawa replied, "With the three Sasukes, enhanced by Konoha-style swordsmanship and Fire Release, it's the hardest thing to do in close combat."

"That's right!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized.

If he had used ranged ninja tools to attack at that time, Sasuke Uchiha and his shadow clones would no longer have been able to reunite.
