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

Chapter 204 Genius Classes and Personalized Education (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Do you have any questions?"

After Kitazawa explained what a "gifted class" was, he asked...

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Nara Shikamaru raised his hand and asked, "Will there be any changes to the members of the genius class?"

"Yes, the gifted class will adopt a bottom-ranking challenge system."

Kitazawa explained, "The bottom ten students in each monthly exam will be challenged by students from other classes. If they fail, they will switch places with them."

"It's really troublesome."

Nara Shikamaru sighed and said.

This means he has to stay in the top 20.

Nowadays, the gifted classes are full of geniuses, including many fifth and sixth graders, making it much more difficult for him to get into the top twenty.

"Is it really that cruel?"

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened.

At the same time, he also felt fortunate.

Thanks to the hellhound given to him by Kitazawa, otherwise he would not have been confident of staying in the genius class.

"Youth is all about facing challenges without fear!"

Rock Lee clenched his fist and said excitedly.

"Little Li is right!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said with a big smile, "Youth and challenges go hand in hand!"

Uchiha Sasuke quickly scanned the students who had just joined Class 1-A.

After a moment, he felt relieved.

Because apart from Neji Hyuga, no one poses a threat to him.

This gifted class is actually pretty much the same as before; there are only a few people competing for first place.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Yamanaka Ino waved her hand and asked curiously, "So what will we study from now on?"

Today, gifted students range from first to sixth grade.

Whether it's theory or practice, their learning progress differs.

This is something she can't understand.

Does this mean they are going to all learn a new course?

“We will tailor a learning plan for each of you based on your individual abilities.”

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "This is also the advantage of the genius class compared to other classes, allowing you to become stronger faster."

"Isn't this just like the ninja squad model?"

Sakura Haruno felt a sense of déjà vu.

"My carefree ninja academy life is over."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikamaru's vision went black.

Everyone has a different learning plan, so it's impossible for him to slack off like before. This is simply... a dead end.

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.

He felt this method was quite good for a genius like him, saving unnecessary time.

After all, he had already mastered most of what the ninja academy taught.

"Teacher Kitazawa, does this mean we don't have to do homework anymore?"

Naruto asked excitedly.

"The learning plan includes both theory and practice. Iruka will teach you the theory."

Kitazawa glanced at him and said.

"We still need to do practice problems."

Naruto's expression froze, and he immediately became very dejected.

"Youth is fearless; what's so scary about doing a few math problems?"

Rock Lee patted him on the shoulder and said with great enthusiasm.

After he transferred to Class 1-A, he became Naruto's deskmate.

"That's right!"

Naruto Uzumaki perked up and said.

"Xiao Li, you always come in last place in the theory exams."

Tian Tian couldn't help but complain.

"...?"

Naruto Uzumaki instinctively looked at Rock Lee.

"I tried my best!"

Lee Rock said matter-of-factly, "That's already living up to the promise of youth!"

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kiba Inuzuka glanced at Hana Inuzuka and asked, "How do students in the genius class graduate? Is the standard still the Three Body Technique?"

"It's not the Three Bodies Technique, it's a practical combat assessment."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "As for how to graduate, it's similar to before. You can apply after you turn twelve."

"Can't we graduate early?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked again.

"It can be done earlier."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "If you believe your strength meets the requirements, you can apply. It will still be a practical assessment."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's heart stirred.

His older brother, Itachi Uchiha, graduated after attending the Ninja Academy for a year.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

He absolutely will not graduate unless he gets first place.

Moreover, he has to win first place consecutively.

Uchiha Sasuke had long since realized that occasionally getting first place in this class didn't mean anything.

"Now I'd like to introduce you to two new teachers."

Kitazawa walked to the door and said, "Senior Kosuke, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in."

"polite."

Maruhoshi Kosuke said nonchalantly.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he attracted a lot of attention from the students.

Because Kosuke Maruboshi really doesn't look like a teacher.

He had white hair and carried a large black pot and two spatulas on his back.

"Maruboshi Kosuke, a genin, is skilled in water release, genjutsu, and swordsmanship."

Kitazawa said slowly, "From now on, he will be your ninjutsu teacher. You can ask him if you don't understand anything."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Although they were skeptical of Maruboshi Kosuke, they still gave Kitazawa face and answered in unison.

"There's one more."

Kitazawa looked towards the doorway.

Kakashi Hatake put away "Icha Icha Paradise" and came in.

Many students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kakashi Hatake looks better than Kosuke Maruboshi.

But why is only one eye showing?
Is the other eye blind?
What does he look like?

"Kakashi Hatake, Jonin, Konoha's number one technician, proficient in more than a thousand ninjutsu."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, the students immediately gasped in surprise.

After all, Kakashi Hatake's resume is simply too amazing.

Moreover, he is quite famous in Konoha Village, and some students have already recognized who he is.

Of course, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki already knew this, so they weren't surprised.

"Quiet!"

Kitazawa raised his hand to stop their discussion. "Next, we'll begin the chakra attribute test."

"Teacher Kitazawa, what are the chakra attributes?"

A student who was previously in Class A of Grade 5 raised his hand and asked.

The knowledge taught at ninja academies does not involve chakra attributes.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki had already graduated long before he took the chakra attribute test.

"The chakra we extract is attribute-free, and the Three Body Techniques we learn are also attribute-free ninjutsu."

Kitazawa explained, "But common ninjutsu, such as Fire Release, involves chakra properties, which is fire."

"I know this!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately said, "My chakra nature is wind!"

"There are seven chakra natures: fire, water, wind, lightning, earth, yin, and yang."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Once I know your chakra nature, I can teach you the corresponding ninjutsu."

"They're actually going to teach you escape techniques?"

Nara Shikamaru's face showed surprise.

"What's wrong with teaching escape techniques?"

Choji Akimichi asked, puzzled.

"This should have been taught by the teacher in charge of the team."

Nara Shikamaru countered, "Think about it, what would happen if ninja academies only taught ninjutsu?"

"Can the supervising teacher save a lot of energy?"

Choji Akimichi asked uncertainly.

"You're not wrong to say that."

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but chuckle.

"If the ninja academy teaches ninjutsu, the students will mature earlier, and our genius class will become especially important."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.

At that moment, he made up his mind that no matter what, he could not leave the gifted class.

He keenly perceived the extraordinary significance of the gifted class.

"Kakashi, give them chakra test strips."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "After you get the chakra test strip, you will input the chakra into it."

Kakashi Hatake stood still, demonstrating his precise control over chakra.

He casually tossed a stack of chakra test strips aside, and they scattered and landed on each student's desk.

"Wow! So awesome!"

Everyone was immediately amazed.

"The chakra test strips will react differently depending on your chakra attribute."

Kitazawa continued, "If the chakra test strip burns, it's fire; if it's moist, it's water; if it's torn, it's wind; if it breaks, it's earth; and if it's wrinkled, it's lightning."

"Teacher Kitazawa, what about Yin and Yang?"

A sixth-grade student asked.

"Yin and Yang cannot be detected by testing."

Kitazawa paused, then added, "But it doesn't matter, we'll find a way to test it later."

"Sasuke-kun, why aren't you taking the test?"

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke hadn't made any move, Sakura Haruno couldn't help but ask.

"I tested it before; it's lightning and fire."

Uchiha Sasuke said casually.

"I am earth and water."

Sakura Haruno quickly replied, "So there can be two kinds?"

Naruto asked with a surprised look.

"I've heard that some people have three, four, or even all of them."

Nara Shikamaru said in a lazy manner.

"I'm so envious."

Naruto scratched his head and said, "I only have one."

"There's nothing wrong with having only one type of chakra nature; it's not like having more chakra natures makes you stronger."

Yamanaka Ino smiled and said, "Our Yamanaka clan's only secret technique is Yin Release."

"Our Inuzuka clan's secret technique is Yang Release."

Kiba Inuzuka casually put down the chakra test strip and said, "For us, there is no need to learn other ninjutsu."

"Besides the clans that use secret techniques, there are also many Jonin in the ninja world who are famous for certain escaping techniques."

Nara Shikamaru gave an example, saying, "Like Kakashi-sensei, although he is skilled in many ninjutsu, his most famous technique is Lightning Release."

"I see."

Naruto clenched his fist and said, "Then I want to become a master of Wind Release."

"Wind Release?"

Nara Shikamaru said thoughtfully, "Konoha doesn't have any particularly famous Wind Release masters."

Shino Aburame lowered her head slightly.

In fact, there are.

He had heard from Aburame Torune that Shimura Danzo was a Wind Release ninja.

"Then it's my turn!"

Naruto Uzumaki declared confidently, "In the name of my youth, I will become the most famous Wind Release ninja in Konoha!"

"what?"

Rock Lee asked in surprise, "Naruto, are you going to give up your dream of becoming a taijutsu ninja?"

"Oh yes!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized something and added, "I also want to become the strongest taijutsu ninja in Konoha!"

"Then I won't easily give you the title of the strongest taijutsu ninja!"

Rock Lee, his teeth gleaming, said, "Let's have a youthful showdown then!"

"no problem!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately agreed.

Not long after, all the students' chakra attributes had been tested.

Kitazawa divided them into five regular groups and one special group according to their chakra attributes.

If there are multiple attributes, you can choose one group to participate in.

The special groups are Yin and Yang attributes, bloodline limits, and taijutsu.

Yakumo Kurama, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Karin, and others chose this group.

Because he was learning Lightning Release, Uchiha Sasuke chose the Lightning Release training group.

Naruto Uzumaki chose the Wind Release training group for the same reason.

However, the personnel in the six groups are not fixed and can be switched as needed.

"Senior Kosuke, could you please lead the Water Release training group?"

Kitazawa spoke without the slightest hesitation.

Maruboshi Kosuke learned Water Release techniques from the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Even Kitazawa at present is not as good as him.

"no problem."

Maruhoshi Kosuke nodded and said.

"Kakashi, you'll take the Lightning Release and Earth Release training group with you."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "I'll bring the Wind Release, Fire Release, and the Special Training Group."

"Ah."

Kakashi Hatake replied nonchalantly.

After teaching Uchiha Sasuke for a month, he had unconsciously raised his standards.

If these students aren't particularly talented, he can simply create a shadow clone to guide them and teach them some basic escape techniques.

In fact, most students can only learn some basic escape techniques.

Although it's a class for gifted students, the real geniuses are the Konoha Twelve.

Other students have limited talent.

Even so, it's still much better than just learning the Three Bodies Technique.

Putting aside everything else, even if they only learn one or two low-level escape techniques, they will all be among the best genin after graduation.

That's enough for Konoha Village.

"From now on, you will have theory classes on Mondays, and practical classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "Now, register in order, starting from the first row. Classes will officially begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Although he also felt that theoretical lessons were important, surviving in the cruel ninja world was the most important thing, so he arranged four days of practical lessons.

However, for these geniuses, one day a week is enough for them to master the knowledge in the textbooks.

If all else fails, then have extra lessons after school.

For Kitazawa, this is a good thing.

His available time changed from Saturday and Sunday to Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Three days is enough time for him to focus on learning ninjutsu or to take Kabuto and the others out on missions.

"Kousuke-senpai, and Kakashi, you should go back first."

Kitazawa turned his head and said, "Leave the registration to me."

"Well."

Without saying much, Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi turned and left.

Because there were only thirty people, registration ended in less than two hours.

"See you tomorrow, Kitazawa-sensei!"

After registering, everyone went home to prepare for the formal classes the next day.

After a moment's thought, Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage Building.

He planned to find a mission for his ninja squad and also report to Hiruzen Sarutobi on the situation of the genius class.

But before heading to the mission hall, he went to the Dark Division office instead.

"I want to find Itachi Uchiha."

Kitazawa stood at the door but did not go in.

The four Anbu ninjas on duty in the Anbu office looked at each other in bewilderment.

The number of times they encountered a non-Anbu ninja like Kitazawa directly going to the Anbu office to find someone was extremely rare.

"You...you are Lord Kitazawa?"

One of the ANBU ninjas looked him over and asked uncertainly.

Kitazawa is currently the vice principal of the Ninja Academy and belongs to the Konoha leadership.

According to the rules of Konoha Village, ordinary ANBU ninjas should address him as "sir".

"I'm."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go find Captain Itachi now."

The ANBU ninja quickly got up and walked outside.

Not long after, he and Itachi Uchiha appeared in front of Kitazawa.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Itachi Uchiha was somewhat surprised and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

What's your opinion on Izumi's strength?

Kitazawa countered with a question.

“She’s very talented.”

Itachi Uchiha paused for a moment, then commented, "Among his peers in the Uchiha clan, his strength can be considered among the best."

"Her skills have recently reached a bottleneck."

Kitazawa said directly, "She's just one opportunity away from awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan."

"You want me to help her awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan?"

Uchiha Itachi realized what was happening and immediately looked troubled.

Apart from Sasuke Uchiha, all the Uchiha clan ninjas he knew who awakened their Sharingan had lost a close relative.

"good."

Kitazawa chuckled, guessing his thoughts, and said, "Emotional stimulation doesn't necessarily mean someone will die."

Itachi Uchiha was taken aback.

"Izumi is only one step away from the two-tomoe Sharingan, so she doesn't need any overly strong emotional stimulation."

Kitazawa explained, "For example, your squad encounters danger while on a mission."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Itachi immediately understood, "We can give it a try."

The Dark Division has four squads, each with seventeen members.

Now, thanks to his immense strength, Itachi Uchiha is a squad leader.

Arranging things for Uchiha Izumi shouldn't be a problem.

"The date is set for next Sunday."

Kitazawa thought for a moment, then leaned forward and whispered, "Like this, like this."

"I will choose a suitable task."

After listening, Itachi Uchiha said...

"Ah."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Izumi certainly won't doubt it."

After all, many people believe that the Anbu is an organization directly under the Hokage.

Uchiha Izumi never imagined that she would be set up by the Anbu.

"I'm afraid we should report this to the Hokage."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for two seconds before saying, "I wonder if the Hokage will agree."

"I'll report it."

Kitazawa offered, "I also happen to have something to report to him."

"Thank you for your help, Kitazawa-sensei."

Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Kitazawa were to bring this up, Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly not refuse.

"Lady Tsunade is not Danzo Shimura. If your Uchiha clan encounters serious trouble, you can go to her first."

Kitazawa took two steps, then turned back and hinted, "You can come to me too."

He was referring to Obito Uchiha.

The new year has arrived.

According to the original timeline, the Night of the Massacre will occur sometime this year.

It's highly likely that Obito Uchiha will come to Konoha.

The exact timeframe is not specified in the original work.

Kitazawa could only take precautions and give Itachi Uchiha a heads-up.

If he encounters Obito Uchiha, he should have him find Tsunade or him.
