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

Page 644

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Yamanaka Ino raised her hand and asked, "Are we only divided into groups after the practical exam?"

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Only students who make it into the top eighteen will be eligible to participate in the group assignments."

"Teacher Kitazawa, please choose me first!"

Yamanaka Ino put her hands together playfully and said.

"Teacher Kitazawa is fair and just; your little tricks won't work!"

Sakura Haruno immediately said.

Nara Shikamaru shook his head, thinking to himself that it was hard to say.

Only he noticed Kitazawa's past underhanded dealings.

"If I had to choose, I'd choose number three... Kitazawa-sensei."

Kiba Inuzuka realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence.

Kitazawa was there, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was not, so he could only change his mind and give the only answer.

Tayuya looked conflicted.

She wanted to team up with Kaguya Kimimaro and Jugo, who were also ninjas from Otogakure, but Yamanaka Ino and the others treated her well and even gave her snacks.

"You'll find out tomorrow. Now go home and get some rest."

Kitazawa interrupted their conversation, picked up the exam paper, and returned to his office.

Tayuya suddenly remembered something and quickly chased after them.

"Is there anything else?"

Kitazawa turned to look at her.

"When I said 'top five,' I meant the practical exam!"

Tayuya got straight to the point.

"I'm right."

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would scheme against a child like you?"

"I'm not a child!"

Tayu glared at him and emphasized.

"What are you if not a child?"

Kitazawa shook his head and asked.

"I...I am a full-fledged ninja from Otogakure!"

Tayuya said urgently.

"You are now a student in the Konoha Village's genius class."

Kitazawa corrected him.

"I'm not!"

Tayuya put her hands on her hips and said.

"Alright, I'm going to grade the exam papers now."

Kitazawa glanced at her and said, "If you're grading exam papers, I can give you that task."

Tayuya's expression changed drastically, and she turned and ran.

Making exam papers already took a toll on her, grading them would only be more painful.

"You still say you're not a child."

Kitazawa turned and walked into the office.

"Kitazawa".

Xiao Nan looked up and greeted them.

"Ah."

Kitazawa responded and began grading the exam papers.

He had already ranked the students for the theory exams in the gifted class before noon.

As expected, the first and second place winners are still Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura.

But the third place changed; it was Uchiha Sasuke, whose summer tutoring had paid off.

The remaining rankings are about the same.

Kaguya Kimimaro, Jugo, Haku, and Tayuya, the four transfer students, had only average scores because it was their first time taking the theory exam.

None of them made it into the top fifteen, with Tayuya even coming in second to last.

Last place was firmly held by Rock Lee.

Overall, this ranking was as expected.

In the afternoon, Kitazawa went home.

After mastering the Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Technique, he can then focus on learning Wood Release.

Once I've mastered the Wood Release: Great Forest Technique, I'll confront Tsunade.

When he got tired of practicing Wood Release, he would rest and think about the Eightfold Earth Seal and the modification of Yang Release chakra.

This has basically been his daily life for the past month.

After all, the ninja world is generally peaceful now, with nothing major happening.

On the contrary, the Land of Fire has caused quite a stir because of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Store, and jewelry stores that have followed suit have already appeared.

However, Konoha has already gained the upper hand and has the support of the Daimyo, so there is no need to worry too much.

These copycat jewelry stores will at most get a small share of the business; they won't have much of an impact on them.

The next day arrived.

Because it was a practical exam, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, and Kosuke Maruboshi were all present.

Kimimaro is quite famous now.

Maruhoshi Kosuke looked at Kaguya Kimimaro and said, "When I went to Konoha Hospital for a check-up last time, I heard many medical ninjas mention him."

"why?"

Kakashi Hatake has been busy training Sasuke Uchiha lately, and since he wasn't injured and didn't need to go to the Konoha hospital, he was unaware of the situation.

"Because of bloodline limit disease."

"That's what Kosuke Maruboshi replied."

"Fortunately, we have Tsunade and the others, otherwise, Konoha would have lost a Shikotsumyaku ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.

Orochimaru has returned to Konoha.

The Hidden Sound Village he founded naturally also belonged to the Hidden Leaf Village, including people like Kaguya Kimimaro, Tayuya, and Jugo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi valued Kaguya Kimimaro the most.

After all, the Kaguya clan became the number one ninja clan in Kirigakure thanks to the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).

Now that Kaguya Kimimaro has come to Konoha, perhaps she can create another Kaguya clan.

"Ah."

Maruhoshi Kosuke nodded and said, "I am very interested in the Corpse Bone Pulse and look forward to his performance in the practical exam."

"I estimate he can make it into the top five."

After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"I feel so too."

Kakashi Hatake echoed this.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Kitazawa arrived at the ninja academy's training ground on time.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he took out a lottery box.

This time he plans to draw the lottery himself, for a simple reason: he wants to operate behind closed doors.

If it were purely random, given Kaguya Kimimaro's strength, she would most likely be in the top three.

"This practical exam will be conducted through a random draw."

Kitazawa reached into the lottery box and picked up two small slips of paper.

The students in the gifted class reacted in different ways upon hearing this.

Uchiha Sasuke looked very confident.

He has made great progress during this period, learning three Lightning Release ninjutsu.

In Kakashi Hatake's words, even among Chunin, few people have more ninjutsu than he does.

Moreover, he has been undergoing special training in physical skills this month.

Having missed out on first place before, he's determined to reclaim it and earn the praise of Itachi and the others.

"Hopefully I can be matched with Sasuke and the others!"

Naruto's idea was simple: he craved a worthy opponent.

As long as the battle is enjoyable, that's fine. Of course, it would be best if we could take first place.

Tayuya crossed her arms over her chest.

She's sure to make it into the top five this time, which will leave Kitazawa speechless.

As for first place, with Kaguya Kimimaro around, she had no interest in it.

Although Kaguya Kimimaro remained expressionless, she harbored a deep desire to be number one.

He wanted to prove to Orochimaru that he was the strongest, no matter where he was.

Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Tenten, and Sakura Haruno have participated in numerous practical tests.

They all knew they couldn't compete with Uchiha Sasuke and his group, so they were all just trying their best.

However, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka are somewhat different.

As best friends, they both felt they could beat each other.

"The first match of the first round is Tayuya versus Hinata Hyuga!"

Kitazawa announced.

Hinata Hyuga?

Upon hearing this, Tayuya's gaze sharpened, sensing that things were getting a bit tricky.

But she still went on stage with great confidence.

Hinata Hyuga looked at her, recalling the information about her.

Her biggest problems are illusions and summoned beasts.

Considering her confidence, Hinata Hyuga decided to go all out to avoid losing to her in front of Kitazawa.

"Battle begins!"

Seeing that they had formed the seal of opposition, Kitazawa spoke up.

Bagua Empty Palm!

Hinata Hyuga starts by slapping her right palm.

An invisible shockwave surged forth.
