"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."
Karin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.
"Let's talk under the shade of a tree."
Seeing this, Kitazawa said, "This sealing technique is quite difficult. Let me explain it to you first."
He looked around and then came to a nearby tree.
Karin felt a warmth in her heart, took a few steps to the shade, and said, "Kitazawa-sensei is so kind!"
Kitazawa raised his hand and tapped her on the head, saying, "I won't lower my standards just because you praise me."
[Current Mission: Help Uchiha Sasuke learn Chidori.]
[Mission Reward: Lightning Release: False Darkness]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
The sudden appearance of three lines of text caused Kitazawa to stop in his tracks.
Has Uchiha Sasuke finally mastered Lightning Release: Chidori?
Kitazawa had almost forgotten that such a system task existed.
After all, Sasuke Uchiha is being taught by Kakashi Hatake, and he hasn't really been involved much.
However, the rewards for this task are not bad either.
Lightning Release: False Darkness is a lightning release ninjutsu from Kakuzu, and it is very powerful.
Kakuzu is a rare ninja who uses all five elemental techniques.
Although he obtained his Five Escapes through the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear.
The Earth Grudge Fear can steal the hearts of others and gain the corresponding chakra attribute.
Kakuzu has five hearts, corresponding to the elements of earth, wind, fire, thunder, and water.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
He has now learned Kakuzu's Fire Release: Head Hardening, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, and Lightning Release: False Darkness.
In the original work, these three ninjutsu can be combined into a composite ninjutsu called Final Shot.
Kitazawa wondered if he could replicate it.
After all, a combined ninjutsu of three escaping techniques is definitely more powerful than a combined ninjutsu of two escaping techniques.
But he only thought about it; he didn't intend to study it.
Because he was too busy, he also had to learn Ninjutsu: Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Technique, Five Elements: Great Combo Technique, and Wood Release.
After speaking with Karin for half an hour, Kitazawa let her train freely and began his own training.
But not long after, he saw Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi.
"What's wrong? Did you need something?"
Kitazawa stopped his training, looked at Kakashi Hatake, and asked.
Kakashi Hatake didn't answer, but his gaze fell on Sasuke Uchiha, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Sasuke Uchiha said confidently, "I want to challenge Naruto."
Kitazawa glanced at the sky subconsciously.
Today is an unprecedentedly sunny day.
Naruto wasn't surprised at all when Sasuke Uchiha suddenly came to challenge him.
"He learned Lightning Release: Chidori."
Kakashi Hatake reminded him.
"I see."
Kitazawa pretended to be just finding out and said, "Perfect timing, you haven't sparred in a long time either, so let me see how much you've improved."
The reason there was no sparring was naturally because the gifted class had implemented a new monthly exam format for the past two months.
They changed their competition method to completing tasks.
"Come with me."
Kitazawa led them to the students in the gifted class.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki noticed Sasuke Uchiha and immediately waved to greet him.
"Why is Sasuke here?"
Yamanaka Ino sensed something was amiss.
"do not know."
Nara Shikamaru looked like he was about to die and said weakly, "I just want to know when I can rest."
"Everyone, take a 15-minute break."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
The battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto is sure to be a big one.
It would be difficult for others to concentrate on training, so it's better to let them rest and watch the sparring match.
Nara Shikamaru's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Without hesitation, he sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Take a break early?"
Aburame Shino adjusted her glasses and said, "It seems that Kitazawa-sensei has something to announce."
"Could it be the group assignments for the final exams?"
Tenten's eyes lit up, and she said, "I hope I can be on the same team as Neji this time!"
I don't think so.
Hyuga Neji shook his head and said, "Kitazawa-sensei always announces the group assignments two weeks in advance, so it's not time yet."
"Naruto."
Just then, Sasuke Uchiha walked up to them and said, "I challenge you."
"Okay! I promise you!"
Naruto Uzumaki paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "I haven't seen your youth in so long!"
"You all come over here and make room for them."
Kitazawa waved to the other students.
Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique combined with Wind Release can easily cause collateral damage.
For safety reasons, it would be best if all the gifted students were with him so that he could provide timely assistance.
Hinata Hyuga sped up and stood to Kitazawa's left.
Yamanaka Ino then came to his right.
The other students also stood in two rows.
"It's a pity Sakura isn't here."
Suddenly, Yamanaka Ino thought of something and spoke up.
Sakura Haruno is currently at the artificial lake, learning Water Release techniques from Kosuke Maruboshi.
"Perhaps it would be better if she weren't here."
Nara Shikamaru yawned and said.
"You think Sasuke will lose?"
Yamanaka Ino asked with a smile.
"Sasuke dared to challenge Naruto, so his strength must have improved."
Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said, "If Sakura were here, she would definitely support Sasuke."
Yamanaka Ino immediately burst into laughter.
This is to prevent Sakura Haruno's poisonous milk.
Kurama Yakumo, Inuzuka Kiba, Akimichi Choji, Tenten, and the others also understood and couldn't help but smile.
"I remember Sasuke was always learning Lightning Release."
Hyuga Neji didn't laugh; instead, he spoke with a serious expression.
Clearly, Sasuke Uchiha has made a breakthrough in his Lightning Release techniques.
It will be very difficult to defeat him now.
However, we'll only know the exact extent of Sasuke Uchiha's increased strength through this sparring match.
"Swordsmanship, illusion, fire release, and lightning release."
Upon hearing this, Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but remark, "Sasuke is getting more and more monstrous."
"You are a human being, don't compare yourself to non-human beings."
Nara Shikamaru patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Sasuke isn't the only one who's inhuman."
"Shino Aburame said calmly."
He felt that his parasitic worm mutation rate couldn't keep up with the progress of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
"Let the sparring begin!"
Kitazawa shouted after seeing Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki form the opposing hand seals.
Yamanaka Ino and the others also stopped chatting and looked at them.
Uchiha Sasuke drew the Thunder God Sword.
With a buzzing sound.
The sword blade appeared.
Sasuke Uchiha charged toward Naruto Uzumaki like a cheetah.
The Thor's Sword in his hand traced complex trajectories, creating a flurry of sword shadows.
This is the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.
Naruto was completely bewildered and had no idea where the real killing move was hidden.
But his approach was also quite simple.
He raised his greatsword, Samehada, to block in front of him.
The barbs on Samehada's greatsword were fully extended.
Thor's sword struck it, producing a crisp clash.
With a twist of its head, Samehada, the greatsword, bit down on Thor's sword.
Sasuke Uchiha immediately stepped back, gathered chakra in his throat, and spat out a huge fireball.
The greatsword Samehada accepted the fireball without hesitation, swallowing it whole.
Just as it was about to launch another attack, Naruto threw it to the ground.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto Uzumaki formed hand seals and created hundreds of shadow clones at once.
The greatsword Samehada couldn't distinguish one from another, so it could only stand still, waiting for him to use it again.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
