After all, illusions are relatively difficult to counter in the early stages.
"Great!"
Tayuya immediately showed an excited expression.
Yamanaka Ino and the others instinctively looked at her.
Tayuya immediately realized that her behavior was too excited.
She quickly explained, "What I mean is that I definitely want to do even better in the next monthly exam!"
"I know."
Yamanaka Ino said with a smile.
What a shame!
Tayuya's face immediately turned red.
"Eleventh place, Tenten. Twelfth place, Kiba Inuzuka. Thirteenth place, Sakura Haruno."
Kitazawa read out in one breath: "Fourteenth place, Akimichi Choji. Fifteenth place, Inuzuka Hana. Sixteenth place, Lee Rock."
Actually, apart from the top seven, the remaining nine are not that different in strength.
It's a matter of whoever makes progress next time can move up one or two places.
"Why does the ranking drop more as you become stronger?"
Kiba Inuzuka couldn't quite hold back.
"After all, Kimimaro and Tayuya are now included."
"That's what Hana Inuzuka replied."
She was quite frank; in her opinion, being in the top eighteen was already quite good.
After all, there are just too many geniuses in the gifted class.
"I'm definitely going to be in the top ten next time!"
Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fist and said.
"What a youthful and energetic speech!"
Rock Lee exclaimed excitedly, "I need to work even harder!"
He initially had an advantage in taijutsu, but as more and more members of the genius class mastered ninjutsu, he became less effective.
But he didn't think that much about it; he just felt that there were so many goals to pursue.
Let's work together!
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up.
Sasuke Uchiha's lips twitched.
Stop trying!
No, I'll go find Kakashi-sensei to learn Lightning Release after the monthly exam!
"..."
Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but raise his forehead.
A bunch of freaks, so talented and working so hard, it's insane.
In the end, it's these ordinary people who get caught up and killed!
Kaguya Kimimaro seemed to be deep in thought.
He roughly understood why he and Tayuya couldn't compare to them.
Besides receiving special guidance from Kitazawa, it was also because they worked hard enough.
Kaguya Kimimaro suddenly began to look forward to the special training that was about to begin.
"These are the rankings for the practical exam of the gifted class."
After Kitazawa finished speaking, he took out a second report card. "Now I will announce the rankings of the theory exam."
Uchiha Sasuke immediately tensed up.
His theoretical exam ranking will definitely surpass Naruto Uzumaki, but whether he can surpass Yakumo Kurama and Hinata Hyuga is another matter.
In the practical exam rankings, he was third, not far behind those in front and behind.
If his ranking in the theory exam is poor, his first place will be in danger.
"First place: Nara Shikamaru. Second place: Haruno Sakura."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Third place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists instinctively, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Steady!
If he can get a high score in the task, he will definitely get first place in the end.
Neji Hyuga frowned.
If Sasuke Uchiha gets third place, then his chances of getting first place are basically gone.
It seems I can only prepare for the next monthly exam.
There are only tasks in the next monthly exam, so maybe I can get first place.
The other students, however, seemed rather indifferent.
After all, they had long since lost any hope of winning first place.
Kaguya Kimimaro actually has a chance, but he has only been studying for a month, and his theoretical knowledge is not yet up to par.
Needless to say, Duoyou had the worst theoretical grades among the four transfer students.
In terms of the chances of winning first place, Naruto Uzumaki is naturally the most likely.
However, he knew that his theoretical scores were not as good as those of Uchiha Sasuke and the others, so he focused on practical exams.
After all, when it comes to solving problems, if you can't solve them, you just can't solve them.
Intelligence is innate and cannot be changed.
"These are the rankings for this theoretical exam. The final rankings will be determined after your mission is completed."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "Take a ten-minute break, and we'll announce the group assignments later."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, and Kakashi Hatake.
"I can bring anyone this time."
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then said.
He can't bring Naruto Uzumaki with him every time he leads a team; that would be unfair.
After all, he is now a teacher in the gifted class and has to be responsible for every student.
"Me too."
Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi said in unison.
Although they wanted to bring Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, since Hiruzen Sarutobi had already said so, they couldn't make any special exceptions.
"Well."
Upon hearing this, Kitazawa said, "I will make the distribution this time."
He stood there, lost in thought.
There were eighteen students. He and Hiruzen Sarutobi led one team, while Kosuke Maruboshi and Kakashi Hatake led two teams.
Kitazawa's plan is to go to the Spirit Island in the Land of the Sea.
Many spirit beasts live on this island.
The ninjas of the Land of the Sea discovered this island and attempted to research what is known as the Ultimate Summoning Beast.
Their research was also very simple and crude, and can be summarized as a Frankenstein's monster.
They stitched together many powerful summoning beasts, and the ultimate summoning beast went berserk and destroyed them all.
Kitazawa plans to bring Karin and Tenten along.
Karin is a member of the Uzumaki clan, and with her around, it's easier to gain Honoka's trust.
As for Tian Tian, the question is whether there's a chance to help her find a new summoning beast.
Her Shuzaki giant lizard was powerful, but using it to deal with students in the gifted class was a bit excessive.
The summoning beasts on Shaman Island are certainly not as powerful as the Shuzaki Giant Lizard, but they are still quite strong and can be used to assist in battle.
Kitazawa had originally planned to bring Naruto Uzumaki along, as he had always wanted a summoning beast.
But then he thought that if he continued to contract with Mount Myōboku in the future, all the other summoned beasts would just be a burden.
In reality, with his strength, he doesn't need a summoning beast at all.
Besides, there is theoretically a summoned beast inside his stomach, and it is the strongest one at present, the Nine-Tailed Kurama.
After much deliberation, Kitazawa finally decided to bring Tayuya along.
Because her three angry demons are well-suited to deal with such large summoned beasts.
Besides Tayuya, he also plans to bring Akimichi Choji along.
His multiplying technique is also suitable for dealing with large summoned beasts.
As for why there are four students in this team, it's because Karin was brought along as an extra.
She lacked combat skills and did not make it into the top eighteen.
When Kitazawa makes the announcement, she will not announce her name yet.
The main purpose is to ensure fairness and impartiality on the surface.
[Current Task: Ensure that Tayuya doesn't rank in the top five in the next practical exam.]
[Quest Reward: Four Purple Flame Arrays]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa glanced at it subconsciously.
The Four Purple Flame Array needs no further explanation; it's a very practical barrier.
[Current Mission: In the next practical exam, prevent Kaguya Kimimaro from ranking in the top three.]
[Quest Reward: 20% Corpse Bone Vein]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Adding to the previous 30%, Kitazawa now has 50% of the Corpse Bone Vein.
However, there were no obvious changes in his physical condition.

Chapter 318 Konoha's Eighteen Youngsters
"We're being divided into teams again. I wonder if I'll be in the same team as Sasuke."
Sakura Haruno glanced at Sasuke Uchiha, a look of anticipation on her face.
"I also want to be on the same team as Sasuke and continue our youthful showdown!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said.
"I refuse."
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly said.
If Naruto Uzumaki were on his team, he would easily steal the spotlight and affect his scoring.
"what?"
Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head.
