"My name is Kitazawa, and I'm a friend of your grandfather."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"You're so much younger than my grandfather, how did you become friends?"
Asami tilted his head and asked.
"It's a long story."
Kitazawa blinked, then changed the subject, asking, "Are you here to pay your respects too?"
"I'm not."
Asami shook his head and said, "I'm here to bring food to my grandfather."
"Asami, how many times have I told you, don't reveal that I'm still alive to outsiders."
A sudden sound rang out.
A short, old man wearing sunglasses appeared.
"Oh? I forgot, I'm sorry, Grandpa."
Asami said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Lord Kitazawa."
Chen Baojun looked at Bei Ze and asked, "This should be our first meeting, how did we become friends?"
"Kai and I are friends, and you are also a friend to me."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said.
As for why Chen Baojun knew him, that's not surprising.
In Konoha Village, there are very few people who don't know him.
"What business does Lord Kitazawa have with me?"
Chen Baojun didn't dwell on the matter and returned to the main topic.
"Senior Chen, I would like to invite you to teach in the genius class at the Ninja Academy."
Kitazawa explained his purpose for coming.
"I refuse."
Chen Baojun replied without hesitation.
The reason he is so pessimistic now is because his students died in the Third Shinobi World War.
Of course, that's not the only reason.
He originally intended to teach his student, Konoha Ryujin, but the Third Shinobi World War broke out and he didn't have time to teach him.
Chen Baojun always felt that his student's death was related to him. He thought that if he had taught him the Leaf Dragon God earlier, he might not have died.
Sending him to class now would only bring back painful memories.
"Don't you want your martial arts skills to be passed down?"
Kitazawa pondered for a moment and then asked.
Chen Baojun fell silent.
"Senior Chen, your Konoha Dragon God technique is quite famous in the ninja world. It would be a real pity if it were lost."
Kitazawa continued.
Ninjas place great importance on the teacher-student relationship, sometimes even surpassing familial affection.
Chen Baojun was already old and not far from death.
Even if he didn't care, he didn't want his martial arts skills to be left uninherited.
After all, the Leaf Village Dragon God is a taijutsu technique he created himself.
"After you become a teacher in the gifted program, your granddaughter will also have the opportunity to enter the gifted program."
Kitazawa then changed his perspective and said...
Chen Baojun glanced at Asami subconsciously.
The genius class system has been in place for a long time, and most of the ninjas in Konoha Village know about its existence.
It is no exaggeration to say that getting into the gifted class means a bright future.
After all, the teachers of the genius class include Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kitazawa.
"You are a skilled ninja; it would be a terrible waste for you to spend the rest of your life here."
Kitazawa said earnestly, "People should look forward. A change of environment might be better."
"I'll try teaching for a month first."
Chen Baojun looked at him and finally nodded.
Kitazawa is a high-ranking member of Konoha Village, and the fact that he was invited in this manner already shows him a great deal of respect.
Even if not for himself, he had to think about his family.
Moreover, he genuinely didn't want his Leaf Village Dragon God technique to be lost.
His regret back then was that he didn't have time to teach his student, Konoha Ryujin, but now he has a chance to make up for it.
"Senior Chen, I believe the students in the gifted class will not let you down."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"I've also heard about the students in the gifted program."
Chen Baojun nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll come to the Ninja Academy to find you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Kitazawa didn't linger and turned to leave.
"I never thought I would be a teacher again."
Chen Baojun remarked with emotion.
"I remember now!"
Asami suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "He's the Hokage's student! I've met him once before!"
She went to join in the fun after Konoha defeated Kirigakure and Tsunade and Kitazawa returned victorious.
"Yes."
Chen Baojun reached out and patted her head, saying, "Let's go home."
"Grandpa, you haven't been home in so long!"
Asami looked surprised upon hearing this.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Chen Baojun led her toward home.
A new day, Wednesday.
8:30 a.m.
Kitazawa went to the Anbu base, gave Konan the silver jewelry design drawings, and then went to the Ninja Academy with Kurenai Yuhi.
Compared to Chen Baojun's hesitation, Xi Rihong agreed to become a teacher in the genius class without much thought.
She has done many missions with Kitazawa and has already established good relationships with the students in the genius class.
Now that I'm a teacher, I don't resist it at all.
As soon as Kitazawa entered the playground, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, Kakashi Hatake, and Chen Baojun chatting.
Although I don't know what they were talking about, the atmosphere was very good, and everyone had a smile on their face.
"Kitazawa".
Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed him and said with a smile, "You really came up with the idea of asking Yasunori to be your teacher."
"I think it's a very good choice."
Maruhoshi Kosuke's face showed a look of reminiscence as he said, "I also did missions with Baojun, as teammates."
"That was a long time ago. I never thought I would become colleagues with Kosuke-senpai."
Chen Baojun sighed.
"We have to thank Kitazawa for creating the genius class."
Maruhoshi Kosuke glanced at Kitazawa and said, "I never thought I'd be working with Hiruzen."
"That's true."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with emotion, "My life now has far exceeded my expectations."
His previous idea for retirement was to go fishing when he had nothing to do and to go out for meals with his old friends when he needed something.
Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi exchanged a glance, both feeling the pressure.
After all, their colleagues were veteran powerhouses like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, and Baojun Chen.
They are senior in seniority and have great strength, so getting along with them is a test for them.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
All the students in the gifted class were present.
"Before we begin today's class, I'd like to introduce you to our two new teachers in the gifted program."
Kitazawa raised his hand and introduced Yuhi Hong and Chen Baojun to them.
"What do the two new teachers teach?"
Yamanaka Ino raised her hand and asked.
Her teacher is Kitazawa, so she doesn't want to change.
"Red Sect illusions and sealing techniques."
Kitazawa replied, "Senior Chen taught me physical techniques."
"Physical skills?"
Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee instinctively looked at Chen Baojun.
But there was doubt in their eyes.
The reason is that Chen Baojun looks unremarkable and is extremely short.
In fact, other students also had this question.
Kurenai Yuhi's strength is well-known to Kitazawa because she often does missions with him.
"Xiao Li, come up here and let Senior Chen give you some pointers."
Kitazawa immediately understood what they were thinking, so he took the most direct approach.
"Are you Kai's students?"
Chen Baojun looked at Rock Lee and Naruto Uzumaki, who were wearing green bodysuits, and asked.
"Do you know Teacher Kai?"
Rock Lee stood up and said, "Naruto and I are both Guy's students."
"know."
Chen Baojun waved and said, "Let me see what you've learned."
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Rock Lee kicked it out.
But Chen Baojun was faster and kicked him in the shin, causing him to stagger back several steps.
"Amazing!"
Rock Lee charged forward again, shouting "Konoha Whirlwind!"
