"Let's go back to the previous question. Kimimaro is the most suitable person to lead the Cursed Seal Force, but he is too young."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Besides him, there's Mitarashi Anko and Shiranui Genma."
"can."
Tsunade thought for a moment and then agreed.
Mitarashi Anko herself possesses the Heavenly Curse Mark, so having her in charge of the Curse Mark Unit is a perfect fit for her profession.
Genma Shiranui is a special Jonin, but his potential is basically limited.
After he received the Earth Seal, he went to assist Mitarashi Anko, and there was nothing wrong with that.
He also served as a bodyguard for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
In fact, without Kitazawa's butterfly effect, he would still be serving as the Fifth Hokage Tsunade's bodyguard.
From this perspective, his strength is among the best of the special Jonin.
Chapter 325 Shikamaru's Unexpected First Place, the Power of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse)
Tuesday, Ninja Academy.
The gifted students and teachers all came to the playground.
Extroverted students like Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, and Rock Lee share their experiences during their missions.
Kitazawa didn't disturb them, but instead obtained the ratings of the students they were teaching from Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
He glanced around and thought to himself that there were quite a few students who got full marks.
Kitazawa could understand.
After all, the students in the gifted class are all very outstanding.
It's hard to find fault with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, especially.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The students in the gifted class stopped chatting and looked at Kitazawa.
Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists instinctively.
He was determined to win first place.
Because of his perfect performance in this mission, Kosuke Maruboshi gave him a perfect score.
If he gets third place in the theory exam, then his final ranking will be first.
"I will announce the rankings of the theory exam first."
Kitazawa noticed Sasuke Uchiha's tense expression, smiled, and said, "Similar to last time."
He picked up the ranking list and read it aloud.
"Third place again!"
Sasuke Uchiha's spirits lifted; he felt the ultimate number one beckoning to him.
"Shikamaru, how exactly did you learn that?"
Naruto Uzumaki felt envious.
He often ranked first in practical exams, but due to poor performance in theoretical exams, he never ranked first in the final rankings.
"do not know."
Nara Shikamaru, with his hands behind his head, casually said, "Anyway, I could figure out those questions after just one look, so I didn't really study them."
"...?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked completely bewildered.
"Shikamaru, why are you copying Sasuke too?"
Kiba Inuzuka's face darkened upon hearing this, and he angrily retorted, "So what if you're smart!"
Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth.
What has it got to do with me?
When have I ever acted like that?
"hateful!"
Yamanaka Ino clenched her little fist and said, "Whenever the practical exam comes around again, I'm definitely going to beat you up!"
"He deserves to be taught a lesson!"
It was rare for Sakura Haruno to stand on the same side as Ino Yamanaka.
"Ahem, I was just kidding."
Nara Shikamaru immediately replied from the bottom of his heart.
"Intelligence is innate, there's nothing you can do about it."
Tian Tian shook his head and said.
"Kimimaro made great progress in this theory exam. Everyone should remember to learn from him."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"...?"
Tayuya sensed that Kitazawa was giving her a hint.
Because her ranking in the theory exam remained virtually unchanged, still at the bottom.
Tayu also thought of this and gritted her teeth in anger.
Shigeo didn't react.
Bai felt somewhat ashamed, as he had been busy with Ice Escape and hadn't paid much attention to the theory.
After Kitazawa said that, he decided to spend more time studying the theory next month.
"Next are the performance scores of the top ten students in completing the tasks over the past two days."
Kitazawa picked up the second ranking list and said, "This time, five students got full marks, the most ever. They deserve praise."
"so much?"
Yamanaka Ino looked surprised.
Could it be that she is involved?
No, that's not right. Kitazawa said she and Haruno Sakura got the same score.
Although they all performed well, they were still a bit inferior to Kaguya Kimimaro, so they probably didn't get a perfect score.
Uchiha Sasuke was startled.
He sensed danger.
Given so many perfect scores, his perfect score is no longer an advantage.
What if... no, there is no "what if"!
"The students who got full marks are Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Kurama Yakumo, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Nara Shikamaru."
Kitazawa stated this directly.
"What? Shikamaru is there?"
Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened in surprise.
You got a perfect score?
Yamanaka Ino subconsciously looked at Nara Shikamaru.
"Can't I get a perfect score?"
Nara Shikamaru countered with a question.
He already knew, so he wasn't surprised.
"If we're just talking about the precautions during the mission, Shikamaru knows them better than any of us."
Kurama Yakumo said thoughtfully.
One of the theoretical lessons at the Ninja Academy is related to missions.
The main content is about what to do when going out on a mission, how to deal with enemies, etc.
"Too."
Tian Tian nodded and said, "After all, his theory score was full marks."
"and many more!"
Sakura Haruno suddenly exclaimed, "He has a perfect score in both theory and performance in missions, so wouldn't his final ranking be...?"
As she said this, she subconsciously looked at Uchiha Sasuke.
After being reminded by her, Uchiha Sasuke also realized the problem.
He lost first place.
For a moment, Sasuke Uchiha felt his head buzzing.
How could something with a 100% probability of success turn out to be unexpected?
"That's right!"
Choji Akimichi realized what was happening, stopped eating his potato chips, and said with a surprised look, "Shikamaru is the ultimate winner this time!"
"Someone actually managed to take first place from Sasuke and Naruto?"
Kiba Inuzuka immediately became excited and exclaimed, "I feel like I have a chance too!"
Previously, these were all theoretical possibilities, but now a real-world example has emerged, which greatly excites him.
After all, none of them expected that Nara Shikamaru would win first place.
"Kimimaro, congratulations."
Jugo didn't participate in the discussion; instead, he looked at his good friend.
"Thank you."
Kaguya Kimimaro responded calmly.
But in reality, he was still very happy. Being able to get first place in the practical exam meant that he hadn't let Orochimaru down.
Tayu also felt frustrated.
In Otogakure, she was one of the best among a group of experimental geniuses, but when she arrived in Konoha, she faced setbacks at every turn.
"This is really unexpected."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.
"Unexpected events are inherent in completing tasks."
Maruhoshi Kosuke said, "I think this is a good thing, so that Sasuke won't become arrogant if he's always number one."
"With Naruto and Yakumo around, Sasuke won't become arrogant or complacent."
Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and then said.
Although Sasuke Uchiha was born into the Uchiha clan, he did not pick up the clan's bad habits.
In Kakashi Hatake's view, he and Obito Uchiha were both considered outliers within the Uchiha clan.
“Attending classes in a gifted program is much more fun than staying at home.”
Chen Baojun now feels that agreeing to Bei Ze's request was the right choice.
"I am now announcing the final rankings."
After reading out the rankings of the practical exam, Kitazawa smiled and said, "First place, Nara Shikamaru."
To be honest, he didn't expect Nara Shikamaru to get first place.
