Naruto Uzumaki immediately became interested, "This sounds so youthful!"
"Teacher Kitazawa, what kind of fun competition is it?"
Yamanaka Ino quickly asked.
She was afraid that Naruto would steer the conversation astray.
"Naruto Rock Graffiti Contest"
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"Eh?"
Ino Yamanaka asked in surprise, "Graffiti on the Hokage Rock?"
If Kitazawa hadn't said those words, she would have thought he was crazy—that's the Hokage Rock!
For many ninjas, the Hokage Rock is a sacred and glorious place.
After all, it has the portraits of the Hokage from all the generations engraved on it.
Most ninjas hoped that one day their portraits would be displayed on it.
If someone else were to graffiti on the Hokage Rock, they would be arrested before the act even begins.
"I'll tell you the specific rules when the time comes."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "You guys go have lunch first, and then wait for me at the Hokage Rock. I'll go get the paint."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Suppressing their doubts, everyone left.
Kitazawa ate first, then went to get the paint, and finally arrived at the Hokage Rock.
Fire Shadow Rock, as the name suggests, is a rock carved out of a mountain wall.
At this moment, the members of the genius class were already looking around at the five Hokage portraits at the foot of the mountain.
It's worth mentioning that the portrait wasn't carved after the Hokage died; it was carved as soon as the new Hokage took office.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
When Naruto and the others saw him, they all called out to him.
"Our goal for this graffiti competition is to depict the portraits of the Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage."
Kitazawa got straight to the point.
Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Minato Namikaze have all passed away, so out of respect for them, there is no need to graffiti their portraits.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade knew, they wouldn't care.
"We will divide the teams into groups before the competition."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "Let's follow the team battle groupings."
Are we choosing people now?
Yamanaka Ino realized what was happening and asked.
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "Naruto, you choose a teammate first."
"Little Li!"
Naruto Uzumaki said without hesitation.
"Naruto!"
Upon seeing this, Lee Rock immediately burst into tears, exclaiming, "I felt the passionate energy of our youth!"
"This is youth!"
Naruto rushed forward, hugged him, and began to cry bitterly.
"...?"
Kitazawa's lips twitched.
Do you guys change your expressions without getting your beans deducted?
I only blinked, and you're all crying?
Uchiha Sasuke and the others instinctively took a half step back.
"Yakumo, who do you choose?"
Kitazawa quickly interrupted them and immediately asked.
"I choose Ino."
Kurama Yakumo said gently.
She was a transfer student. Although she knew all the students in the gifted class, her closest friend was Yamanaka Ino.
"With Yakumo on the team, we're sure to get first place!"
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino immediately became excited and said...
"This is a team game."
Sakura Haruno snorted and said, "First place will definitely be Sasuke and me, because we have great teamwork!"
"That depends on Sasuke choosing you first."
Yamanaka Ino retorted sharply.
"If Sasuke doesn't choose me, who will he choose?"
Sakura Haruno smiled confidently.
"I choose Kimimaro."
Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.
"what?"
Sakura Haruno froze instantly.
Sasuke Uchiha met her gaze and thought to himself, "Sorry, I'm a power player."
Although he also wanted to choose Sakura Haruno, Kimimaro Kaguya's strength would be more likely to help him win first place.
He will only choose Sakura Haruno if she is still in the next round.
Where is Hinata?
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile and asked.
He could understand Sasuke Uchiha, after all, he was obsessed with being number one.
"Shikamaru."
Hinata Hyuga thought for a moment and then said...
She had considered it carefully and concluded that, in terms of strength, she did not have any advantage over Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
So she decided to try her best in terms of intelligence or strategy, hoping to win first place.
"day by day."
Neji Hyuga spoke her name amidst Tenten's expectant gaze.
"Great!"
Tian Tian's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"I choose Choji."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.
His reason for choosing Choji Akimichi was that he lacked a defensive teammate.
As a member of the Aburame clan, he was extremely skilled at perception and reconnaissance.
After obtaining the secret techniques of the Upper Water Clan, his firepower was further enhanced.
"The first round of selection is over, the second round begins."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
Tayuya immediately froze on the spot.
Why didn't anyone choose her in the first round?
hateful!
Does she look like she's not very good?
"Jugo!"
Naruto Uzumaki replied without hesitation.
His reason for choosing Jugo was simple: because he had also learned physical techniques.
"Thank you."
Jugo nodded and said.
Having joined Naruto's team, he might just be able to secure first place this time.
Unfortunately, he wasn't in the same team as Kaguya Kimimaro.
"Karin".
Kurama Yakumo pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Karin possesses sealing techniques, which might prove useful in team battles.
Furthermore, Karin and she have a good relationship.
"Sakura".
Uchiha Sasuke said without hesitation.
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno quickly moved closer to him.
Although she wasn't chosen in the first round, at least she was chosen in the second round, so she didn't lose.
"I choose white."
Hinata Hyuga continued.
"Tayuya."
Hyuga Neji thought for a moment and then said.
He felt that their team was missing a controller, and the sound illusionist could fill that gap perfectly.
"Am I really the last one to be chosen?"
Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened as he asked.
"Alright, the group assignments are complete. Now let's begin the graffiti competition."
Kitazawa clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fists instinctively.
He was determined to win first place to prove himself.
Everyone else looked at Kitazawa.
"Six teams will compete in three rounds."
Kitazawa explained, "The rules are simple: paint over the portrait, then wash it off, and see who can do it the fastest."
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Tian Tian raised his hand and asked, "What is the prize for the winner?"
"Site surveying."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "The first place winner gets one hour to survey the site, and the next winner gets ten minutes less, for a total of six winners."
