"So many first-place winners?"
Kiba Inuzuka looked utterly astonished.
"And then there's Hinata and Shino, who won first place for the first time."
Yamanaka Ino felt envious.
Their mission went very smoothly this time.
This also means that she, Sakura Haruno, and Neji Hyuga could not get a perfect score.
Uchiha Sasuke felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Finished!
He lost first place!
Hinata Hyuga ranked higher than him in the theory exam, thus stealing his first place.
"Then Hinata will be the final winner?"
Yamanaka Ino suddenly realized what was happening.
"Eh?"
Hinata Hyuga subconsciously raised her head, her face full of confusion.
Am I number one?
How can this be?
"That's right!"
Kiba Inuzuka slammed his fist down and said, "It really is Hinata!"
Hinata ranked fourth in the theory exam and first in the practical exam.
Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and said, "All things considered, they have surpassed Sasuke, Yakumo, and Naruto."
Hyuga Neji was taken aback, thinking to himself that it was a pity.
He ranked higher than Uchiha Sasuke in the theoretical exam, but not in the practical exam.
If it were the first monthly exam, the one where he got a perfect score on the practical exam, that would be great, but we can't change it.
This time, he ranked higher than Hinata Hyuga in the theoretical exam, but not in the practical exam.
It's like being trapped in a cycle.
Sakura Haruno instinctively covered her head, unable to face reality.
She cursed Sasuke Uchiha once again.
Hinata Hyuga felt it wasn't real enough, as if she were in a dream.
This first place was a pleasant surprise for her.
Although she didn't care much about first place, Hiashi Hyuga and the others were definitely very happy.
Hinata Hyuga subconsciously looked towards Kitazawa.
The key to her winning first place was that she got a perfect score in the practical exam.
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.
This time he really didn't pull any dirty tricks.
Hinata Hyuga was surprised that she ultimately came in first place.
"Quiet."
Kitazawa stopped their discussion and continued reading, "Second place, Kurama Yakumo. Third place, Hyuga Neji..."
After the rankings of the practical exam were read out, the students in the genius class had already roughly calculated their final rankings.
Uchiha Sasuke became completely withdrawn.
He failed to challenge Naruto Uzumaki and didn't even get first place, making the Uchiha clan lose face.
"Final ranking, first place, Hinata Hyuga."
Kitazawa announced with a smile.
Congratulations, Hinata!
Yamanaka Ino immediately offered her blessings.
"I feel like I also have a chance to get first place!"
Kiba Inuzuka said, his spirits lifted.
He always thought that the top spot in the genius class would be taken by Uchiha Sasuke and Kurama Yakumo, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be.
If you get a perfect score in the practical exam, plus a good score in the theory exam, you might be able to turn things around.
"That's true."
Kurama Yakumo nodded in agreement.
"It's not that easy."
Nara Shikamaru poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Hinata was able to get first place because she has the ability to do so."
Hinata Hyuga, while not first in the previous monthly exams, was generally in the top five.
I had a bit of luck with this final exam; I got a perfect score on the practical exam, which is why I ultimately came in first place.
"The probability of getting first place is at least higher than before."
Shino Aburame spoke first.
"Sasuke-kun, we still have..."
Sakura Haruno stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.
Let's not jinx her next time. If something goes wrong again, she won't be able to see Sasuke Uchiha again.
Sasuke Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn't finished speaking.
"These are the final rankings for this final exam."
Kitazawa put down the report card and said, "I won't say much more. Keep up the good work next semester. Time for vacation!"
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Upon hearing the word "holiday," the students in the gifted class immediately forgot about their recent rankings and became excited.
A month-long summer vacation allows them to have a great time.
Of course, many students also started thinking about special training during the summer vacation.
For example, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Shikamaru Nara.
"Let's go."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kosuke Maruboshi got up and left the classroom.
"Hinata, aren't you leaving?"
Kitazawa looked at Hinata Hyuga, who was sitting motionless in her seat, and asked with a smile.
"Um...I..."
Hinata Hyuga stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
"Why thank me? This is all thanks to your ability."
Kitazawa stepped forward, tapped her forehead, and said, "You're making it sound like I'm helping you cheat."
That's not what I meant!
Hinata Hyuga quickly shook her head, her short, dark blue hair swaying back and forth like a rattle.
"Okay, I'll take you home."
Kitazawa laughed when he saw this.
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head in embarrassment.
The two left the ninja academy.
The residence of the Hyuga clan.
Kitazawa stopped at the door.
He looked into the courtyard, a subtle expression on his face.
Hiashi Hyuga is holding Hanabi Hyuga and singing a lullaby.
He looked every bit the loving father, a stark contrast to his usual image.
Kitazawa thought about it carefully and roughly guessed the reason.
Hinata Hyuga is performing exceptionally well now, and she will definitely be able to inherit the Hyuga clan.
According to the rules, Hyuga Hanabi would be put into a caged bird.
Perhaps that's why Hiashi Hyuga felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her.
"..."
Hiashi Hyuga hummed a little tune and subconsciously turned his head, only to see Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga.
His face immediately stiffened, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Hinata Hiashi subconsciously went into the house, handed Hinata Hanabi to her mother, and then walked up to Kitazawa.
"Chief of the Sun Foot Clan."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just gave Hinata a ride back."
"Thank you for your trouble. Since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner?"
Hiashi Hyuga paused for two seconds before extending the invitation.
"No, I have something to do and need to go to the Hokage's office."
Kitazawa refused and then turned and left.
Hinata, what was your rank in the final exams this time?
Hyuga Hiashi subconsciously exhaled and asked.
"First place."
Hinata Hyuga withdrew her gaze and replied.
"First place?"
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
He was aware of the situation in the gifted program.
Although Hinata Hyuga is extremely talented, there are several students who are even more gifted than her.
How did you suddenly get first place?
"Well done!"
Hiashi Hyuga realized what was happening and smiled with relief.
……
Kitazawa did not go to see Tsunade immediately.
He arrived at the Dark Guard base.
"Lord Kitazawa."
Hyuga Himon, who was waiting in his office, immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fire Gate."
Kitazawa knew that Hyuga Himon had returned from the Land of Waves.
"Of course."
Hyuga Himon took out a summoning storage scroll and said, "These are the three necklaces you requested."
