Moreover, there are still many surgeries to be performed.
The next day arrived.
Tomorrow is the genin exchange meeting.
After having breakfast, Kitazawa went to the classroom of the genius class and called Uchiha Sasuke and the others to his office.
Chapter 285 Mei Terumi: It's all false information from Konoha
"Tomorrow, Kirigakure and Konoha will hold a genin exchange meeting."
Kitazawa sat at his desk, smiling, and said, "I recommended you to the Hokage."
Uchiha Sasuke and the others exchanged bewildered glances, all feeling puzzled by this sudden news.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand and asked, "What are we supposed to do at this exchange meeting? Chat with the genin from Kirigakure?"
"We are ninjas, we communicate with our fists, not our mouths."
Kitazawa explained, "At the genin exchange meeting, the two sides will have five sparring matches."
"I'll participate!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately agreed to the sparring match, appearing quite excited.
Kitazawa chuckled to himself.
This kid really did become a battle maniac after following Matt Kay.
However, there's nothing wrong with it either.
He is highly talented, and the more battles he fights, the faster he grows.
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Sparring with a genin from Kirigakure?
The opposing team will definitely send out their best genin in order to win the sparring match.
Defeating him would undoubtedly greatly enhance the prestige of the Uchiha clan, and his father and brother would be very happy.
Sasuke Uchiha remembered his brother saying that Shisui Uchiha made his name in the war against Kirigakure.
This exchange was an excellent opportunity for him.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke felt a sense of urgency.
Are all five of us going?
Hyuga Neji glanced around, sensing something was amiss.
This is a genin exchange meeting, but none of them are genin.
Why would Kitazawa send them?
Does he think they are stronger than all the Konoha genin?
Although they are indeed very strong.
"Alright, I'll leave all five sparring matches to you."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "The Hokage has high hopes for you, so don't let her down."
"We will try our best!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately gave a thumbs up, his teeth gleaming, and said, "The Hokage will see our passionate youth!"
"Just don't wear the green bodysuit."
Sasuke Uchiha smirked and reminded him.
Undoubtedly, this genin exchange event attracted a large number of ninjas, including those from both Kirigakure and Konoha.
If Naruto appears wearing a green bodysuit, and he stands next to him, Naruto will definitely run away from Konoha overnight.
"Huh? Why?"
Naruto scratched his head and asked.
"I have already prepared clothes for you."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "Because you are representing Konoha at the exchange meeting, you have to wear Konoha ninja vests."
Naruto Uzumaki immediately became excited.
Although the green bodysuit was nice, he still preferred the ninja vest.
This means he can experience the identity of a ninja in advance.
"There's still one day until the competition. The teachers have already taught you everything they needed to. You should all get some rest and stay in shape."
Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "I believe in you."
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately assured him, "We definitely won't let you down!"
Kurama Yakumo, Hinata Hyuga, and the others nodded in agreement.
Needless to say, the teachers in the genius class are absolutely the strongest in the ninja world.
No matter how outstanding the genin from other ninja villages are, they can never have a teacher like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, Kakashi Hatake, or Kitazawa.
In particular, Kitazawa provided targeted training to the genius class even before it was established.
If they still can't win after this, they won't have the face to continue being his students.
"If you defeat the genin of Kirigakure, you can choose any B-rank ninjutsu."
Kitazawa added.
"What a reward that embodies youth!"
Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed excitedly, "I'm definitely taking this reward!"
Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Hinata remained calm.
After all, they have no shortage of B-rank ninjutsu.
In fact, Naruto Uzumaki is no exception; it's just his personality that makes him unaware that he's learned several A-rank ninjutsu.
"The genin exchange event has been scheduled for our school, and the venue will be the playground."
Kitazawa concluded by reminding him, "Don't be late."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Uchiha Sasuke and the others said in unison.
"You may leave."
Kitazawa waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke and the other four turned and left the office.
The door was closed.
Kitazawa considered it and felt that winning all the victories shouldn't be a problem.
Even a typical genin only knows the Three Bodies Technique.
If you can master one or two ninjutsu techniques, even low-level ones, you can be considered an excellent genin.
Neji Hyuga and his companions each possessed at least one advanced ninjutsu.
Kurama Yakumo, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto are even more outrageous.
With a bit of luck, we might even be able to defeat a Jonin.
I hope Mei Terumi can hold on.
Who knows, maybe five sparring matches will break the defenses of the Hidden Mist Village's genin, leaving them questioning their existence.
The only variable is the random matching method used in this competition.
They will definitely send Chojuro from Kirigakure.
There's also Hozuki Suigetsu; I wonder if he was taken away by Orochimaru.
In the original work, he first appeared at Orochimaru's base.
However, the timeline has been moved forward considerably now, so the situation may be different.
We'll only know the specifics tomorrow.
Kitazawa glanced at the time on the wall, stood up, and walked towards the gate of Konoha Village.
A moment later, he saw Yu Nu Zhiwei and the others standing at the gate.
This is the underwater exploration team he assembled.
Now that they have acquired a piece of sea area from Kirigakure, they plan to set off today to establish a base there.
"Kitazawa".
When Yu Nuzhi saw him, she quickly went to greet him.
"Lord Kitazawa."
The other Aburame clan ninjas greeted him with respect.
In the ninja world, strength is paramount.
Kitazawa is superior to them in both strength and status.
Most importantly, he provided tremendous help to the Aburame clan.
Whether it's the mutation of the Bursting Bug or the Parasitic Bug, it's all directly related to him, and he can be said to have done them a great favor.
"Chief Zhiwei, I will send a secret service team to accompany you. If you have any urgent matters, you can send them to run errands."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then reminded him.
In reality, the true mission of this secret squad was to investigate the situation in Gato, the Land of Waves.
However, the base that the Konoha Village underwater exploration team plans to establish is on an uninhabited island not far from the Land of Waves.
Therefore, Kitazawa said that Aburame Shiki could contact the Anbu if she had any urgent matters.
"I won't take up any more of your time. Have a safe journey."
Before Aburame Shii could answer, Kitazawa continued.
The reason this underwater exploration team hasn't left yet is because they're waiting for him.
"We'll be going now. See you next time, Kitazawa."
Aburame Shiki greeted everyone and then led the other Aburame clan ninjas outside.
As the head of the Aburame clan, he certainly wouldn't stay permanently on the uninhabited island of the Land of Waves.
However, the base has not yet been established, so he needs to go there in person.
After all, this matter is of great importance.
Thursday has arrived.
Because a genin exchange meeting between the two villages was to be held in the afternoon, Kitazawa had a temporary grandstand set up on the ninja academy's playground.
This genin exchange meeting was not large in scale.
Besides the five genin who participated in the competition, Kirigakure had fewer than forty people serving as spectators.
Konoha Village, considering that it had just signed a contract with Kirigakure, did not make a big fuss, but invited forty people to watch the match.
Because of the limited number of spots, many ninjas even approached Tsunade and Kitazawa, hoping to join in the fun.
Although it's just a sparring match between genin, once other ninja villages are involved, it's no longer an ordinary sparring match.
The reputation of the ninja village became extremely important.
Tsunade and Kitazawa refused, but they didn't completely refuse either.
As long as it doesn't interfere with the game, appearing casually is fine.
