Hinata Hyuga nodded, her face tense, and immediately activated her Byakugan.
She used the Leaf Flicker Technique, turning into a leaf and disappearing from the spot.
Miyamoto lost sight of his target and immediately looked around.
Soft Fist - Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!
Hinata Hyuga appeared behind him, unleashing a flurry of palm strikes.
Miyamoto was startled, and his arm was slapped twice.
He suppressed the discomfort of his chakra being blocked and kicked Hinata Hyuga.
Hinata Hyuga easily dodged with a twist of her body and slapped his leg twice.
At the same time, she stepped forward and patted him twice more.
Miyamoto was immediately rendered powerless to resist, and the remaining twenty-six palms all struck him.
He collapsed to the ground, unable to get up, and the chakra within his body stopped circulating.
"The winner is Hinata Hyuga."
Upon seeing this, Kitazawa immediately announced.
Hinata Hyuga's lips curled up slightly.
It's a pity the occasion wasn't right, otherwise she could have received Kitazawa's head pat as a reward.
Another failure.
The ninjas of Kirigakure fell into a familiar silence.
But clearly this is not the end.
In the final sparring match, Hyuga Neji made his appearance.
Like Hinata Hyuga, he won the match cleanly and decisively.
The two-tomoe Sharingan is overwhelming against ordinary genin and chunin, and the Byakugan is about the same.
This is how terrifying a bloodline limit ninja can be.
Of course, the most fatal thing is that the five geniuses of Konoha Village make them lose all hope for the future.
The genin exchange meeting has ended.
Mei Terumi said nothing more, bid farewell to Tsunade, and left the Ninja Academy with the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, looking worried.
Chapter 288 Tsunade's Embrace
After Mei Terumi and the others left, the ninjas of Konoha Village immediately became lively.
Although they had all heard of the geniuses of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to some extent, the shock they felt upon witnessing it firsthand was different.
Who among those who become Jonin wasn't once a genius?
But this genin exchange still had a huge impact on them.
Especially when compared to the geniuses of Kirigakure such as Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are geniuses among geniuses.
"You did a great job."
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha and the others, Tsunade said with satisfaction, "This genin exchange meeting has perfectly showcased the spirit of Konoha Village."
"Quickly thank the Hokage."
Umino Iruka offered a reminder.
He wasn't qualified to be an audience member given his abilities, but since he's a teacher in the gifted class, he was given special treatment.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"
Uchiha Sasuke and the others said in unison.
"All five of you have won, so you can choose one B-rank ninjutsu."
Tsunade smiled and said, "Go back and think it over carefully, and then tell your teacher Kitazawa."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Uchiha Sasuke and the others responded again.
However, a B-rank ninjutsu is nothing to them.
It was the ability to defeat the geniuses of Kirigakure that made them feel excited and happy.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Tsunade turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and asked.
"There's nothing to say."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "They all performed perfectly; there's nothing wrong with them."
Nara Shikaku and the others nodded in agreement.
"This concludes today's genin exchange meeting."
Tsunade looked at Kitazawa and said, "The rest is up to you."
After she finished speaking, she left the ninja academy with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
"I won't say anything more. I'll give you two days off."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
The gifted students immediately cheered.
Today is Thursday, and having two days off means a four-day weekend.
They never expected that, besides Uchiha Sasuke and his group of five, those of them who hadn't participated in the genin exchange would also receive a reward.
"The students who ranked in the top eighteen in the last monthly exam should not forget that they need to carry out their mission on Saturday."
Kitazawa reminded him.
"It's really exciting to see three generations of grandfathers leading the team!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I feel like my youth has been ignited!"
Sakura Haruno nodded upon hearing this.
She was also really looking forward to Saturday's task.
Not only is she led by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but she also has Sasuke Uchiha as her teammate.
She felt that this was the pinnacle of her life.
Sasuke Uchiha was already thinking about how to surpass Naruto Uzumaki and steal the spotlight during the mission.
"It's the same whether Mr. Kitazawa leads the team or not!"
Yamanaka Ino flicked her bangs and said defiantly.
There's no point in arguing about these things.
Kitazawa raised his hand, ruffled her hair twice, and said with a smile, "Alright, you can go home now."
Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!
After greeting each other, the students in the gifted class ran outside.
The sudden four-day holiday made them feel like happy little butterflies.
"Wait for me, Sasuke!"
Sakura Haruno felt that in the blink of an eye, Sasuke Uchiha had disappeared without a trace.
He was eager to go home and hear his father and brother's praise.
So happy that he ran incredibly fast.
"Teacher Kitazawa, what task are we going to do on Saturday?"
Yamanaka Ino asked curiously.
"What if we encounter a Jonin?"
Kiba Inuzuka asked expectantly.
"We can't beat a Jonin."
Tian Tian shook his head and said.
"Don't diminish your own prestige!"
Kiba Inuzuka laughed and said, "We may not be able to beat them, but we're sure we can beat Kitazawa-sensei!"
"It's you who are taking the practical exam, not me."
Kitazawa glared at him and said.
Kiba Inuzuka scratched his head sheepishly, not daring to say anything more.
Although Kitazawa was usually very kind to them, for some reason, he felt that Kitazawa was quite scary.
"We're going to the Land of Waves on Saturday."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "I'll tell you the specifics of the mission once we get to the Land of Waves."
Where is the Land of Waves?
Kiba Inuzuka asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why haven't I heard of this country before?"
"It is a very small island nation."
Yamanaka Ino replied, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it; I heard my dad mention it."
"Meet here at nine o'clock on Saturday morning."
Kitazawa interrupted their conversation, saying, "Everyone else is going home, you should go too."
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and the other two bid him farewell and turned to leave.
[Current Mission: Make Kirigakure lose five consecutive matches.]
[Mission Reward: 10% White Eye Purity.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa stood there for a moment and, after receiving no further hints, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It seems that 60% purity of the Byakugan did not trigger any new abilities.
We can only wait for new missions and see what special abilities more Byakugan Purity possesses.
Kitazawa handed over the rest of the work to Iruka Umino, and then went to the Hokage's office.
Tsunade seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face.
That's normal, though.
Konoha Village won a great victory at the Genin Exchange Tournament, and as the Hokage, she was naturally very happy.
"Mei Terumi and the others will return to Kirigakure in a couple of days."
Tsunade casually picked up a pen and asked, "Which five B-rank ninjutsu do you think we should ask them for?"
"They're about the same."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "Just ask for five B-rank ninjutsu."
The most famous thing about Kirigakure is its water-style ninjutsu.
However, because of Tobirama Senju, Konoha Village's water-style ninjutsu was even superior to theirs.
Putting that reason aside, Konoha Village has actually acquired the vast majority of Kirigakure's ninjutsu.
These ninjutsu techniques were mostly acquired through war.
More accurately, it was obtained from the corpses of Hidden Mist Village ninjas.
In particular, Kitazawa killed an elite Jonin like Kurosuki Raiga.
