I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Chapter 185 Naruto vs. Neji (First and Second Updates)

After awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha undoubtedly became a numerical monster and a mechanical monster.

But he encountered a Kurama Yakumo whose stats and mechanics surpassed his own.

At the start of the battle, Sasuke Uchiha used his Sharingan to unleash the genjutsu: Shiranui.

Kurama Yakumo skipped the Genjutsu Shinsei and used the Horror Illusion.

An invisible illusion unfolds.

Kurama Yakumo's face showed surprise.

As before, Sasuke Uchiha was pulled into an illusion.

Although he had indeed become much stronger, he still hadn't surpassed her in illusion magic.

Time passes slowly.

The illusion was dispelled by Yakumo Kurama.

Sasuke Uchiha turned pale and sat down on the ground with a thud.

After being pulled into the illusion, he was caught in an endless battle, and was eventually released when he was exhausted.

Uchiha Sasuke stared blankly at Kurama Yakumo.

Hasn't he already awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan?
Why can't I beat her?

What went wrong?

The joy of awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan vanished without a trace at that moment.

His confident words before the battle turned into a sharp sword piercing him, and now he felt ashamed, guilty, and wanted to run away.

I wonder how his father and brother view him.

Despite his pride, the Uchiha clan member lost two matches in a row during the practical exam.

Uchiha Sasuke became withdrawn and isolated.

He stood up and left the stage without saying a word.

"The victor is Kurama Yakumo."

Kitazawa announced.

The first row of the audience seats.

"Yakumo's bloodline limit is truly terrifying."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed, "At such a young age, her skill in genjutsu is already comparable to that of a genjutsu jonin."

"She still has potential."

Tsunade said casually.

She understands Yakumo Kurama better than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, she was Kurama Yakumo's chief medical ninja.

"When she grows up, perhaps..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, without explicitly mentioning the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, there were quite a few ninjas around them.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength, he was not afraid of the Uchiha clan.

However, the Mangekyou Sharingan is full of uncertainties.

Even he couldn't help but have doubts after learning about Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.

Kotoamatsukami can silently alter the subconscious of a target.

Would Uchiha Shisui use it on them?

"Tsunade, thank goodness you returned to the village, otherwise Konoha would have lost a master of genjutsu."

"I'm so glad," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with relief.

In the future, Yakumo Kurama will undoubtedly become a genjutsu master at the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Most importantly, she is more emotionally stable and more controllable than the Uchiha clan ninjas.

Furthermore, given Kitazawa's relationship with Tsunade, Kurama Yakumo, while not entirely obedient to Konoha, was certainly extremely loyal.

"none of my business."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

She returned to the village for the purpose of providing psychological medical care to ninjas and for the funds allocated by Konoha Village.

"It's alright, Kitazawa's credit is your credit."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "Besides, it was indeed you who healed Yakumo's body."

The ninja world places great importance on the teacher-student relationship; one could say that honor and disgrace are intertwined between them.

"Speak properly, why beat around the bush?"

Tsunade snorted coldly and asked with dissatisfaction.

She understood the unspoken meaning in Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

It was nothing more than urging her to make a quick decision and take Kitazawa as her student.

"I told the truth."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care about her attitude and said with a smile.

not far away.

"No wonder the Kurama clan used to be on par with our Uchiha clan."

Although Fugaku Uchiha had heard Sasuke Uchiha mention Yakumo Kurama before, he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

Now, it turns out that it far exceeded his expectations.

"But every advantage has its disadvantages."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and said, "The Kurama clan's bloodline limit is so strong in the early stages that it's very difficult to awaken."

"That's why our Uchiha clan is now the largest ninja clan in Konoha."

Fugaku Uchiha smiled faintly, his tone tinged with arrogance.

Unlike the Kurama clan's bloodline limit, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan can be gradually upgraded until it reaches the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In this process, the body and mind are in harmony.

It is rare for a person like Yakumo Kurama to experience physical weakness due to excessive mental strength.

"How come there are so many geniuses in Class A of the first grade?"

Mikoto Uchiha felt heartache looking at the withdrawn Sasuke Uchiha.

His skill level would have easily earned him first place at the Ninja Academy.

"It's because of Kitazawa-sensei's excellent teaching."

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment and said, "Even Sasuke's strength has been improving rapidly since he met Kitazawa-sensei."

"fair enough."

Fugaku Uchiha calmly said, "Pressure is what drives motivation."

He was not disappointed that Uchiha Sasuke lost two matches in a row.

After all, the loss was understandable.

Moreover, Sasuke Uchiha awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan at the age of seven, and his future is limitless. What could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

"The third match of the third round is between Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka."

After Kitazawa and Uchiha Sasuke and Kurama Yakumo left the arena, they took out two small slips of paper from the lottery box.

Because the student council selection practice was not over yet, he was not in a hurry to find Uchiha Sasuke.

Teeth?

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses, seemingly lost in thought.

His first thought was whether he could use the Bursting Bugs to deal with Kiba Inuzuka's shadow clones.

In that case, without the Shadow Clones, he would no longer be able to merge into the Cerberus.

Even if they can combine, it will be with the Burst Bugs involved.

But then I thought about it again, and realized it wasn't necessary.

After all, the explosion of the shadow clone and its return to the original body would also cause psychological trauma.

"Be careful, Shino!"

Kiba Inuzuka said confidently.

"Let's begin."

Shino Aburame said calmly.

"Combined!"

Kiba Inuzuka shouted and collided with his shadow clone.

The chakra merged into one, and from within the smoke, a ferocious two-headed dog appeared.

Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects!
Shino Aburame raised her hands.

Countless parasitic insects flew out and gathered together in an instant, like a dark cloud.

Without hesitation, the two-headed dog raised its giant paw and slapped out.

Bang!
Most of the parasites were swatted or stunned.

But the remaining parasites attached themselves to its palm and crawled up its arm.

Kiba Inuzuka felt a chill run down his spine.

The two-headed dog suddenly swung its arm, sending a large number of parasites flying.

Secret Technique: Summoning Insects!

Shino Aburame forms hand seals.

All the nearby insects were summoned, mingling with the parasitic insects, and pounced on the two-headed dog.

"so troublesome!"

Kiba Inuzuka gritted his teeth, too lazy to bother with these small and agile insects.

The two-headed dog leaped forward, instantly closing the distance between itself and Shino Aburame.

Once it got close, it grabbed at you.

The sharp fingernails pierced Shino Aburame as if they were kunai.

Secret Technique: Insect Wall Technique!
Aburame Shino had anticipated this.

Parasites flew and hovered in front of him, forming a black shield.

boom!
The insect wall trembled twice.

The immense force caused the insect's body to break in half.

However, the insect wall was not a real wall, and the moment the break appeared, Shino Aburame filled it with parasitic insects.

Secret Technique: Cocoon!

More parasites poured out of Shino Aburame's body.

Under their control, they rapidly climbed up the two-headed dog's arm.

By the time Kiba Inuzuka realized what was happening, his right arm, or rather the two-headed dog's right forelimb, was completely covered by parasites.

His heart tightened, and just as he was about to shake off the parasites, he felt a tearing pain coming from his right forelimb.

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cry out.

The two-headed dog suddenly turned into a real dog, its whole body swinging around.

Many parasites were stunned and thrown out.

Secret Technique: Cocoon!

Shino Aburame stood still and continued to use chakra to create parasitic insects.

Kiba Inuzuka lost the initiative.

No matter how much the two-headed dog struggled, the number of parasites on its body only increased.

"I surrender!"

Kiba Inuzuka said urgently, "Quickly get your bugs away!"

Upon hearing this, Shino Aburame waved her hands and withdrew the parasitic insects.

"Shino, your insects are really... troublesome."

Kiba Inuzuka dispelled the fusion state and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

He originally wanted to say that these bugs were disgusting, but since they were classmates, there was no need to be so blunt.

"Your hellhound is quite good, but it lacks a few attack methods."

Shino Aburame nodded slightly and said.

“You’re right, so I plan to ask Mr. Kitazawa for help during the winter break.”

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fist and said, "Beat me next semester, it won't be so easy!"

Although his personality isn't as carefree as Nara Shikamaru's, he's still quite playful.

However, Naruto's growing strength spurred him on.

If he doesn't catch up quickly, he'll have to treat Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen every time there's a monthly exam.

That would be too embarrassing.

Shino Aburame paused for a moment.

Kiba Inuzuka reminded him of his parasitic worm mutation plan.

I don't know if winter break will start.

"The winner is Shino Aburame."

Kitazawa promptly announced, "Let's go."

Kiba Inuzuka, being very familiar with Shino Aburame, hugged her.

The two people left the field.

Kiba Inuzuka was very satisfied with his performance.

Although he didn't win, he made a name for himself with his Cerberus.

"The fourth match of the third round is between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Neji Hyuga hasn't triggered any new missions in a long time.

Although Kitazawa didn't know if Naruto Uzumaki could help him trigger it, there was no harm in trying.

"Me, fight Naruto?"

Neji Hyuga was taken aback upon hearing this.

His most desired opponent is Uchiha Sasuke.

He had been holding a grudge ever since he carelessly lost to Sasuke Uchiha's genjutsu.

However, he did not encounter it in several practical tests.

Even after reaching the third round of the student council selection competition, they still hadn't encountered Uchiha Sasuke.

However, Naruto Uzumaki is similar.

After all, he had just defeated Uchiha Sasuke.

Hyuga Neji walked into the arena with a solemn expression.

He wasn't confident he could defeat Naruto Uzumaki.

Both the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan are extremely troublesome.

But... there is a chance.

Once you get close, the combination of Byakugan and Gentle Fist makes you invincible.

"Who do you think will win?"

Yamanaka Ino asked curiously.

"I think it's Naruto."

Kiba Inuzuka exclaimed in surprise, "The Rasengan is a ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage!"

"Not necessarily. The strength of Gentle Fist lies in sealing chakra, so even if Naruto learns many ninjutsu, he won't be able to use them."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said.

"Too."

Kiba Inuzuka, unable to understand, stopped thinking about it and said with interest, "This match is definitely not as good as Sasuke's... mmm mmm."

Before he could finish speaking, Nara Shikamaru covered his mouth.

Kiba Inuzuka glared at him instinctively, but quickly realized what he meant.

His gaze fell on Uchiha Sasuke, who was not far away and exuded a chilling aura.

It's been like this ever since he left the field.

He stood there without saying a word.

No matter how Sakura Haruno tried to talk to Sasuke Uchiha, he ignored her.

"Neji, he..."

Shino Aburame was interrupted after only saying half a sentence.

"Neji won't lose!"

Tian Tian said with absolute certainty.

Lee Rock scratched his head.

He didn't know who to support.

The first row of the audience seats.

"Gentle Fist? That's a bit troublesome."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly as he spoke.

He hoped Naruto would win, which was also a reflection of his perspective.

"Perhaps Kitazawa taught Naruto how to deal with it."

Tsunade watched Naruto Uzumaki with great interest.

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, said nothing more, and started watching the match.

"I'm here! Neji!"

Naruto Uzumaki formed hand seals and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, thirty shadow clones appeared.

Hyuga Neji immediately adopted a Gentle Fist stance.

But at that moment, the thirty shadow clones scattered and split into three teams.

Neji Hyuga's pupils suddenly contracted, sensing something was wrong.

He hadn't expected Naruto to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and kunai throwing right from the start.

A whooshing sound rang out.

The first team's shadow clones threw out twenty kunai.

Hyuga Neji dodged to the left without hesitation.

But as soon as they landed, they were met with a second group of kunai thrown by shadow clones.

Hyuga Neji slapped his hands repeatedly, quickly knocking away the kunai in front of him.

The moment it worked, he immediately retreated.

The kunai thrown by the third team of shadow clones immediately missed their target.

Hyuga Neji took a deep breath, his body suddenly accelerating as he rushed towards Uzumaki Naruto.

Although he doesn't have the Shadow Clone Technique and can't break through the three points like Sasuke Uchiha, he has the Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

Byakugan gave him a comprehensive perspective, and his Gentle Fist could send kunai flying.

Hyuga Neji, braving a hail of kunai, rapidly approached Uzumaki Naruto.

"Amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki remarked with a sigh, then charged forward, shouting, "Konoha Whirlwind!"

Neji Hyuga narrowed his eyes slightly.

He really liked Naruto Uzumaki's reckless fighting style because it was something he could counter.

But he remained vigilant.

After all, Naruto Uzumaki demonstrated a certain level of combat wisdom in his battle against Sasuke Uchiha.

Neji Hyuga unleashed a double palm strike, hitting Naruto Uzumaki's right foot.

His body swayed involuntarily.

Naruto's power exceeded his expectations.

But... it's all meaningless now.

Because Hyuga Neji took this opportunity to seal two chakra points on his right leg.

Naruto Uzumaki felt a numbness in his right leg.

He instinctively pulled his right leg back, and because of the disruption in his chakra flow, he stumbled.

Seeing this, Hyuga Neji was about to press his advantage when he heard a whooshing sound behind him.

"Power Prelude!"

Naruto's shadow clone flew into the air and kicked towards him.

Hyuga Neji quickly turned around and slapped him.

"Leaf Double Whirlwind!"

Two shadow clones followed closely behind, one on the left and one on the right.

Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

Hyuga Neji thought to himself, "This is troublesome," and unleashed six consecutive palm strikes with both hands.

The three shadow clones were all sent flying backwards.

Before Hyuga Neji could catch his breath, even more shadow clones came toward him.

Left with no other option, he could only dodge while simultaneously fighting back.

Although he was unarmed, the unique nature of his soft fist technique, which involved striking pressure points, gave him an invincible aura.

Naruto's shadow clones often collapsed after taking two or three blows.

However, it would be unwise to compete with Naruto Uzumaki in chakra.

Hyuga Neji stared with his Byakugan eyes, searching for Naruto Uzumaki's true form.

Although he couldn't see through the shadow clone with his Byakugan, he still quickly found his target.

Because two of Naruto's chakra points had been sealed, his movements were more noticeable than usual.

Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

Once Hyuga Neji spotted his target, he rushed towards Uzumaki Naruto without hesitation.

He unleashed twelve palm strikes in one go.

Naruto Uzumaki felt a sway in his body and then fell to the ground.

But he has far too many shadow clones.

The opportunity that Hyuga Neji had finally seized was immediately ruined by his shadow clones.

But he was not in a hurry.

Naruto Uzumaki has already been acupunctured.

He just needs to get close to him one more time.

Most importantly, after the pressure point technique was applied, Naruto Uzumaki was no longer able to create more shadow clones.

This will be his victory!
Hyuga Neji couldn't help but feel a little happy when he thought of this.

"Spiral pills!"

Just then, Naruto Uzumaki's voice came from behind Hyuga Neji.

not good!

Hyuga Neji instinctively turned his head and saw Uzumaki Naruto charging towards him with a Rasengan in hand.

what happened?

Was I scammed?

Was that Naruto Uzumaki from just now not the real Naruto?

Hyuga Neji thought of many things in that instant.

But it was too late to use the Soft Fist Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms at this point, so he could only dodge to the left.

But Naruto's shadow clones didn't give him a chance.

Two shadow clones stepped forward and blocked his movement.

But despite the delay, the Rasengan continued its powerful trajectory and slammed into him.

Neji Hyuga was stunned.

Kitazawa instantly appeared in front of him and casually pushed him away, allowing him to avoid the Rasengan attack.

The Rasengan landed, creating another deep crater.

Hyuga Neji realized what was happening and instinctively clenched his fist.

Is this still the same Naruto Uzumaki?

But a loss is a loss, and there's no way to argue about it.

Hyuga Neji felt resentful.

In the past, relying on his talent and hard work, he was arrogant and disdainful of others, earning him the reputation of a genius.

But now he is being defeated by geniuses one after another.

The contrast between his previous and current situation was too great, making it difficult for him to accept.

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa glanced at Hyuga Neji.

Judging from his expression, the sparring session was clearly effective.

Kitazawa only said one sentence to Naruto Uzumaki: "The Byakugan cannot see through shadow clones."

Naruto Uzumaki can come up with quite a few solutions with just a little thought.

The first row of the audience seats.

"Naruto did a great job!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face beamed with joy.

Naruto Uzumaki is finally showing some of the flair of Minato Namikaze.
