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

Chapter 186 Hiruzen Sarutobi: I Can Step Down Now (Third and Fourth Updates)

"pity."

Hiashi Hyuga felt a little regretful.

But Neji Hyuga has already performed quite well.

After all, his opponent was Naruto Uzumaki, who possessed the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan.

Hiashi Hyuga felt a subtle unease when he thought about this.

Who would have thought that you'd see the Rasengan in a seemingly ordinary practical exam at the Ninja Academy?

Hiashi Hyuga remembered that when he was in school, it was extremely rare to see a classmate use Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

His gaze fell on Hinata Hyuga again.

Sasuke Uchiha's performance was outstanding.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga are also quite good.

Overall, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans were evenly matched in this student council selection competition.

Hiashi Hyuga was genuinely worried that Sasuke Uchiha would defeat Naruto Uzumaki.

In that case, the Uchiha clan would definitely steal the spotlight.

The current situation is actually quite good.

"Naruto!"

Matt Kay gave a thumbs-up and said, "You didn't waste your youth!"

"Teacher Kai!"

Naruto Uzumaki stopped and shouted excitedly, "I feel the exhilarating passion of youth!"

"Naruto, let's keep going!"

Matt Kay encouraged, "Youth is all about never stopping!"

"Cough cough."

Kurenai quickly stopped them, saying, "The next match is about to start, it would be better if you let Naruto go off the field first."

The implication is that we shouldn't talk about youth anymore.

"really."

Kakashi Hatake rarely agreed.

The main focus is on Naruto Uzumaki.

Their interactions will attract a lot of attention, and then they will discover him.

Kakashi Hatake fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but he still wasn't quite used to this situation.

"Kakashi."

Might Guy turned his head and asked, "What's your opinion of Naruto right now?"

Kakashi Hatake fell silent.

He had previously claimed that Naruto Uzumaki only won because of his large chakra reserves, but he has clearly been proven wrong.

Watching these two matches, it's clear that Naruto Uzumaki used the Rasengan very cleverly.

Although it may not seem like much to him, it was already quite remarkable that seven-year-old Naruto Uzumaki could achieve this.

Kakashi Hatake thought of Minato Namikaze.

If he were still alive, he would definitely be very satisfied with Naruto Uzumaki.

"very nice."

Kakashi Hatake finally said.

"Ha ha!"

Matt Kay laughed excitedly upon hearing this.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had defeated Kakashi Hatake in a friendly sparring match.

"The fifth match of the third round is between Nara Shikamaru and Inuzuka Hana."

Kitazawa conducted another draw.

A total of twelve students advanced to the third round.

Four matches have already been played, and there are two more to go, meaning four students haven't had a chance to play yet.

With Nara Shikamaru's match against Inuzuka Hana confirmed, the remaining matchup was also confirmed: Yamanaka Ino versus Tenten.

Why can't we give up on practical experience in student council selection?

Nara Shikamaru looked at the three large wolfhounds opposite him and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely be chased all over the place.

If he could abstain, he definitely would.

Having reached the third round, he has already exceeded his target.

Unfortunately, Kitazawa anticipated his prediction.

Not only can they not forfeit, but they also cannot play passively.

If Kitazawa discovers this, there will be serious consequences.

Kitazawa didn't say what the consequences would be, but Nara Shikamaru didn't want to know.

"please."

Inuzuka Hana used all her strength right from the start.

After all, Nara Shikamaru performed very well in the last round, defeating Tenten with a combination of strength and strategy.

Teeth to teeth!

Inuzuka Hana and Haimaru leaped up, transforming into a tornado that crashed into Nara Shikamaru.

Behind them were two more ninja dogs.

Nara Shikamaru dodged to the left without hesitation.

Although they dodged the Fang-Tooth attack, they ran into two ninja dogs head-on.

At the same time, Inuzuka Hana and Haimaru made a sudden stop, turned around, and used the Tooth-Penetrating Technique again.

Nara Shikamaru leaped over the two ninja dogs.

Shadow Tentacles!

The shadows of Nara Shikamaru and the two ninja dogs overlapped in the air.

His shadow transformed into two tentacles that grabbed the necks of the two ninja dogs.

Their attack came to an abrupt halt.

"what?"

Hana Inuzuka and Haimaru's target changed from Shikamaru Nara to two ninja dogs.

Upon seeing this, they immediately stopped and ceased the dental work.

Shadow Imitation!
Nara Shikamaru landed on the ground and immediately used his shadow to control one of the ninja dogs to rush towards Inuzuka Hana and Haimaru.

"Grey pill!"

Inuzuka Hana gave the order without hesitation.

Haimaru reverted to his ninja dog form and began to fight with the ninja dog.

The art of four legs!

Inuzuka Hana attached her chakra to her limbs and pounced on Nara Shikamaru like a tiger descending a mountain.

"I surrender."

Nara Shikamaru raised his hand in time and said, "My chakra is exhausted, and I am unable to fight any longer."

"...?"

Hana Inuzuka quickly stopped her swinging grab.

what's the situation?
In her view, she was clearly at a disadvantage.

"The winner is Inuzuka Hana."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

If Nara Shikamaru wants to win, he has a chance with his Shadow Imitation Technique and Shadow Tentacles.

However, he lacked the will to win and conceded defeat after only a brief exchange.

"..."

Nara Shikaku, sitting in the audience, suddenly remembered Yamanaka Ino's words.

We definitely need to find Kitazawa Jiichi to treat Nara Shikamaru.

"The sixth match of the third round is between Yamanaka Ino and Tenten."

Kitazawa announced this after Nara Shikamaru and Inuzuka Hana left the field.

"Shikamaru, did you go easy on my sister?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously.

"No."

Nara Shikamaru spread his hands and said, "You know, secret techniques consume a lot of chakra."

"Your sister brought three ninja dogs. It's practically impossible for Shikamaru to control four targets at once."

Yamanaka Ino said.

Both the Nara and Yamanaka clans primarily relied on control, and they shared many similarities.

If it were her, she would have lost even faster.

Because her mind-spinning technique can only control a maximum of two targets.

"Ino is right."

Nara Shikamaru agreed.

"It's your turn, Ino."

Sakura Haruno reminded her.

"Her ninja tools are troublesome."

Nara Shikamaru suggested, "If you can seize the opportunity, you can control her; if you can't, don't force it, just admit defeat."

If the Nara clan's secret techniques can be used by a single person, then the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are not suitable for single-person use.

Performing ninjutsu takes time, and it's difficult to hit the target. Even if it does hit, you can't move.

"Ah."

Yamanaka Ino nodded, smiling broadly, and said, "I'll do my best. If I lose, I'll just go to Kitazawa-sensei."

Upon hearing the name Kitazawa, Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously glanced at him.

Even now that he has awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, he still can't beat Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama. Should he ask Kitazawa for help?

The battle begins.

Having learned from her defeat in the battle against Nara Shikamaru, Tenten used ninja tools from the very beginning and resolutely refused to let Yamanaka Ino get close.

Yamanaka Ino was chased around by ninja tools and had no time to use her secret technique. In the end, she chose to admit defeat.

"The third round of the competition has ended. Next up is the challenge match."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "The students who enter the third round are all the ones who will be challenged."

Because they had received the flyers in advance, the audience already knew the rules of the practical exam and were not surprised by it.

"I hope someone will challenge me."

Naruto Uzumaki said with an expectant look on his face.

Today's battle truly gave him a sense of exhilaration.

Who will challenge you?

Kiba Inuzuka remarked, "Only a blind person would challenge you."

"That's impossible to say."

Nara Shikamaru yawned and said, "Arrogant people can be found everywhere."

"really."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said, "People who think they have the ability will definitely be very unwilling to be assigned to the general tournament."

"Then Sasuke is more likely to be challenged, right?"

Ino Yamanaka explained her reasoning: "Because Sasuke is more famous."

"Don't I have any fame?"

Naruto's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "I just defeated Sasuke!"

"...?"

Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched.

Why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?
“The students in the regular competition didn’t see our competition.”

Yamanaka Ino paused for a moment, then said, "But after today, your fame will definitely skyrocket, and you might even surpass Sasuke's."

Uchiha Sasuke's expression froze upon hearing this.

hateful!

Is he even less famous than Naruto Uzumaki?
Don’t do this kind of thing!

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.

The Uchiha clan has never been inferior to anyone in their lives; they want to take back everything that belongs to them!
For some reason, even though Yakumo Kurama defeated him, he was more concerned about losing to Naruto Uzumaki.

Time passed slowly. Not long after, Sarutobi Hisao led five students into the arena.

These five students all appeared to be older than Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

They were mostly fifth and sixth graders.

"headmaster."

After greeting Sarutobi Hisao, Kitazawa looked at the five students behind him and said, "You will go up in order."

After he finished speaking, he handed over the roster.

The roster listed the names of the twelve students who advanced to the third round, along with their respective classes.

"I challenge Uchiha Sasuke!"

A boy dressed in white walked onto the stage and spoke.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists instinctively.

Do you think I'm easy to bully after losing two games in a row?

Uchiha Sasuke walked up to him with a cold face.

Genjutsu·Shiranui!
He awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.

The next second, the boy was surrounded by fire in the illusion and screamed in agony.

"The winner is Uchiha Sasuke."

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said.

The two-tomoe Sharingan is practically a game-changer against someone who isn't even a genin.

However, it's still unusual for the battle to end so quickly.

This shows that Sasuke Uchiha harbored a lot of resentment.

The remaining four students looked at each other, their faces showing shock and confusion.

Are first-graders these days so incredibly gifted? They completely outperform sixth-graders!
Even if it's the Uchiha clan, they shouldn't be this outrageous.

After hesitating for two seconds, the second student stepped onto the stage.

“I…I challenge Kurama Yakumo.”

The students were chosen based on their last names.

The Uchiha, Hyuga, Nara, Aburame, and Yamanaka clans are all very famous ninja clans.

But he had never heard of saddle horses.

Kurama Yakumo walked up to him, and then that was the end of it.

He was immediately pulled into the illusion.

To others, he appeared to be standing still, and after a few seconds, he fell backward.

From beginning to end, it seemed as if Kurama Yakumo didn't move a single finger.

"???"

The students who came to take on the challenge were full of questions.

Is this still a ninja academy? Where did they put me?
They didn't even know how they lost, let alone defeat first-year students.

"It seems that Kitazawa made the right decision to divide the competition into general and elite rounds."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said.

The gap between them is so large that sometimes not knowing it is a blessing.

As things stand now, all that's left for them is deep despair.

"There's nothing left to see, I..."

Tsunade was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Since we're already here, let's see it through to the end. We should at least finish what we started."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.

"What do you want to do again?"

Tsunade asked with a puzzled look.

"what can I do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his expression unchanged, retorted, "Aren't you going to leave now without considering Kitazawa's feelings?"

"Then just wait."

Tsunade sat down again.

The challenge came and went quickly, and all five students were defeated in the blink of an eye.

"Please wait a moment, students. The rankings for this practical exam will be announced shortly."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "Considering the list is very long, only the top thirty will be announced on-site, and the rest of the list will be posted."

"Senior Kitazawa."

Umino Iruka quickly stepped forward, handed over the roster, and said, "This is the ranking of the practical test for the Elite Tournament."

"Thank you."

Kitazawa, holding the roster, found Sarutobi Hisao.

The two immediately began discussing the specific rankings.

A moment later, Kitazawa walked up to the students with the rankings in his hand.

Although some people had already guessed their rankings, they were still very much looking forward to it.

Except for Uchiha Sasuke.

"First place, Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa didn't waste any words and announced it directly.

"Great!"

Naruto Uzumaki jumped up on the spot.

He first defeated Uchiha Sasuke, and then defeated Hyuga Neji. He won first place, and no one had any objections.

Because of the limited number of rounds, he did not fight Kurama Yakumo.

However, they had already fought before.

With Kurama's help, Naruto was no longer afraid of her genjutsu.

As a pure genjutsu ninja, Kurama Yakumo is helpless if his genjutsu fails to work.

"Second place, Kurama Yakumo."

Kitazawa continued.

Kurama Yakumo remained calm upon hearing this, stood up, and bowed slightly.

"Third place, Uchiha Sasuke."

Kitazawa glanced at the roster and said.

Although Sasuke Uchiha lost two matches in a row, he awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan and ranked third, so there was no problem with that.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked very unhappy.

His goal was to be number one, so being third is simply an insult to him!

"Fourth place: Hinata Hyuga. Fifth place: Neji Hyuga. Sixth place: Shino Aburame. Seventh place: Kiba Inuzuka."

Kitazawa recited it in one breath.

"Hahaha!"

Kiba Inuzuka immediately burst into wild laughter, "I'm seventh!"

This achievement can be considered a breakthrough for him.

Moreover, this is a ranking of the entire school, not a ranking of the entire class.

If you exclude Hyuga Neji, he should be sixth.

"But you're still inferior to Naruto."

Nara Shikamaru said calmly.

Kiba Inuzuka's laughter stopped abruptly.

Not surpassing Naruto Uzumaki means he still has to treat him to Ichiraku Ramen.

"The top 30 have been announced."

After reading the list, Kitazawa changed the subject and said, "Now, let's announce the list of student council officers."

Uchiha Sasuke was startled.

He forgot that the ranking in this practical exam was related to the selection of student council members.

He is now in third place, having already missed the chance to become the student council president.

"Because it's already the end of the semester, the handover of the student council will be postponed to the next semester."

Kitazawa said calmly.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete his mission, so he deliberately used a little trick.

However, since this method was reasonable, no one raised any objections.

In other words, he will serve as acting student council president until the next semester.

"Naruto Uzumaki will be the official president of the student council."

Kitazawa announced.

Thank you all for your support!

Naruto Uzumaki clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "I will definitely make the student council full of youthful energy!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke and the others fell silent.

"Vice President, Kurama Yakumo and Uchiha Sasuke."

Kitazawa continued.

"Yakumo, I'm counting on you to stop Naruto's youth from passing away!"

Yamanaka Ino said with a solemn expression.

"Eh?"

Kurama Yakumo was a little confused.

"really."

Nara Shikamaru agreed, saying, "We absolutely cannot let youth spread in the student council."

"The evil green bodysuit monster must be defeated!"

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fist and said.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"Class monitor, Hinata Hyuga."

After they quieted down, Kitazawa continued reading, "Disciplinary Committee member, Hyuga Neji..."

In the blink of an eye, all the student council officers have been announced.

"Everyone has worked hard these past two days. I hereby announce that the student council selection stunt and final exams have come to a successful conclusion!"

Kitazawa announced loudly, "Now, everyone, please enjoy your holiday!"

Upon hearing this, the students burst into cheers.

"Let's go see Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said.

Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, and the others who originally planned to leave all followed.

After all, if the Hokage doesn't leave, they can't very well leave either.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

It has to be said that this is indeed a large-scale operation.

Apart from Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, most of Konoha's high-ranking officials are here.

"Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa went to meet him.

"Kitazawa, you did a great job."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said with emotion, "The younger generation of Konoha Village is impeccable. I can retire in peace now."

The playground immediately fell silent upon hearing this.

Those present were all the clan leaders of various ninja clans, and the old fox was indeed a master cunning.

They all gleaned a great deal of meaning from those words.

There is no doubt that Hiruzen Sarutobi intends to step down.

The next Hokage... Everyone looked at Tsunade.

Only Tsunade clenched her fists.

She's been tricked again!
