Yamanaka Ino sighed and said, "We only have ten minutes."
"This area isn't particularly large; about ten minutes should be enough."
Hyuga Neji followed the boundary flag and saw the end of the road.
Because he had been warned beforehand, he didn't roll his eyes.
"It's okay, I can paint."
Kurama Yakumo said gently, "Ino and Karin, each of you should memorize a region, and I will draw it out later."
"Yakumo, you are incredibly strong!"
Yamanaka Ino immediately praised it.
Karin nodded in agreement.
"Luckily, we have fifty minutes!"
Sakura Haruno glanced at Ino Yamanaka and said with a smile, "This is the chemistry between Sasuke and me!"
"Hmph, don't get too cocky!"
With her hands on her hips, Yamanaka Ino said, "The official team battle starts tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow too..."
Sakura Haruno was interrupted by Sasuke Uchiha halfway through her sentence.
"Sakura, go to the left side later."
Uchiha Sasuke spoke up in time.
"Yes, Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno was unaware that her "poisonous milk" was being forced to stop.
The group chatted as they waited for Naruto's team to finish.
Kitazawa looked at them and began to ponder something.
That is, which team he should choose as his mentor.
After all, he also had a system mission to lead his team to first place.
Statistically speaking, the three teams led by Yakumo Kurama, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki are the most likely to win first place.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
For a moment, he really didn't know who would be number one.
Kurama Yakumo needs no introduction; his genjutsu is on par with the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Uchiha Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan, combined with his Fire Release, Lightning Release, and newly learned Hatake sword technique, makes him equally formidable.
Based on the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Naruto Uzumaki's taijutsu and wind-style techniques are greatly enhanced.
Moreover, he recently learned the Leaf Dragon God technique, which has increased his strength considerably compared to before.
Unable to determine a winner among the captains, Kitazawa turned his attention to his teammates.
In terms of team members, Kaguya Kimimaro is definitely the strongest.
The other team members were about the same.
Kitazawa suddenly had a thought and noticed Jugo.
He remembers that he could understand what animals were saying.
If you use animals to scout other teams, no one should be able to react in time.
Furthermore, Rock Lee had gained a good grasp of Konoha's Dragon God technique, so Kitazawa ultimately decided to choose Naruto Uzumaki's team.
However, he couldn't guarantee whether he would get first place.
As the students in the gifted class become more capable, the role of the teachers is gradually diminishing.
Kitazawa can no longer easily operate or manipulate the market in secret as he used to.
But it's alright.
Because Kitazawa's strength and status are also increasing.
Nowadays, the system tasks he triggers are actually not many that involve exams.
Dusk had fallen.
After all six teams had inspected the venue, they all went home to rest.
After all, tomorrow will be the real battle.
After the students from the genius class left, Xiao Nan reappeared.
Looking at her, Bei Ze suddenly thought of the super beast fake painting he had just obtained.
The term "super beast fake painting" refers to paintings of animals, but humans are also a type of animal.
But Sai has basically never drawn people.
Because they were too weak, they were unable to inherit or use ninjutsu.
In fact, other animals are the same; they can only attack based on instinct.
Bei Ze immediately opened the spirit storage scroll and took out a blank scroll and a writing brush.
Super Beast Imitation Painting, in essence, is like Water Release, because it involves infusing chakra into ink to create the painting.
In the original work, Sai once increased his combat power by pouring ink into rivers and lakes to directly generate a large number of ninja beasts.
In this respect, it's similar to water escape, as it can be enhanced by the environment.
Kitazawa picked up his pen and began to draw.
To learn how to create super beast imitation paintings, you need to have good drawing skills.
Although Beize didn't have any, the super beast pseudo-paintings rewarded by the system incidentally gave him some painting skills.
In just a moment, a painting appeared on the scroll.
"How about it?"
Kitazawa handed the scroll to Konan.
Xiao Nan glanced at it and was taken aback.
This scroll depicts her.
Although not very detailed, it is remarkably similar to the original and can be recognized at a glance.
"Very similar."
Xiao Nan nodded and said.
"The real challenge is yet to come."
Kitazawa snapped his fingers.
The painting in the scroll immediately came to life.
Those black ink lines emerged from the painting and eventually formed another Xiao Nan.
However, this Xiao Nan is in the style of ink painting.
The character holding the scroll is an incredibly realistic depiction of Xiao Nan.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Xiao Nan looked at the Xiao Nan in front of her, a look of surprise on her face.
"Super Beast Imitation Painting".
Kitazawa smiled and said with some regret, "But unfortunately, this is the most we can do. We can't make it indistinguishable from the real thing."
"How strong is she?"
Xiao Nan asked curiously.
"They don't have much strength."
Kitazawa replied, "I only know some physical skills; I can't use your paper manipulation technique."
Xiao Nan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
What she meant was that this approach didn't seem to be very effective, but it wasn't appropriate to say that to his face.
"It can draw other animals and can deal with some ordinary ninjas."
Kitazawa guessed what Konan was thinking and said, "But for me, it's mainly used for transmitting information and flying."
"flight?"
Xiao Nan felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
Does that mean I won't need her to carry me anymore?
"You can draw birds."
Kitazawa reached out and touched her cheek, saying, "If you weren't here, I could fly on a bird."
Xiao Nan pursed her lips, her mind a jumble, unsure of what to say.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely part ways with Kitazawa.
After all, the Akatsuki organization was at odds with the entire ninja world, including Konoha Village.
With a casual wave of his hand, Kitazawa transformed the ink-wash painting-style Konan back into ink, which fell to the ground.
He looked at the blank scroll, picked up the pen again and drew a small Nan on it, but this time he didn't infuse it with chakra.
"A gift for you."
After handing the scroll to Konan, Kitazawa said, "It's getting late, go back and rest early."
He turned and left after he finished speaking.
Xiao Nan stared blankly at her reflection in the scroll.
After a long while, she put the scroll away and returned to the Dark Guard base.
Silent all night.
The next day arrived.
The team battle will still start at 9:00 AM.
After having breakfast, Kitazawa and Kurenai Yuhi went to the ninja academy first.
He told Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others about the group assignments from yesterday, and said that he had chosen Naruto Uzumaki's team, and the rest of them could be assigned to other teams.
After Kitazawa finished explaining, he headed towards the Hokage Building.
Tsunade, being the Hokage, had to arrive at work earlier than him and was already in the Hokage's office.
Kitazawa knocked on the door and, after receiving permission, came in.
Besides Tsunade, Shizune is also in the Hokage's office.
"Kitazawa? What are you doing here? Isn't today the final exam?"
Shizune saw Kitazawa and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Tsunade immediately gave Kitazawa a wink.
"The final exam for the gifted program has introduced a new format: team battles."
Kitazawa said meticulously, "Since this is the first time we've held this event, we'd like to invite Tsunade-sensei to be in the audience and to give her some pointers."
"In that case, Jingyin, I'll leave today's matter to you. I'll take the day off."
Tsunade said with a serious expression.
Jingyin glanced around, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Let's go."
Tsunade stood up and walked outside.
"See you next time, Senior Sister Jingyin."
