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

Chapter 269 A New Monthly Exam Method, Xiao Nan Seeks Medical Treatment (First and Second Updates)

"what is this?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the red chakra in front of him and asked instinctively.

"This is the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Kitazawa explained, "Although it's sealed inside your body, it can hear our conversations."

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to say you couldn't beat the First Hokage."

His words caused the red chakra to fluctuate at an alarming rate, swirling wildly in the air.

Naruto scratched his head and subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.

Why are you still so agitated after apologizing?
Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw the red chakra retract.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, having roughly guessed the reason.

When Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails, he left a crack.

Logically speaking, this rift shouldn't be able to release so much chakra unless Naruto Uzumaki agrees.

However, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) forced a breakthrough after hearing that it was inferior to Hashirama Senju, which is why it has this seemingly large amount of red chakra.

"What's happening here?"

Naruto asked, bewildered, "Did it accept my apology?"

"I'll take you to see it."

Kitazawa reached out and placed his hand on his forehead.

The Nine-Tails was sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki.

To enter the sealed space, one must be in a spiritual form.

The spiritual entity involves Yin escape.

Kitazawa now possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan and is a genjutsu ninja, so getting Naruto Uzumaki into the sealed space shouldn't be a problem.

Naruto Uzumaki felt a blur before his eyes, and his surroundings dimmed.

He subconsciously closed his eyes and then opened them again.

A huge fence came into his view.

"Humanity!"

A voice filled with hatred rang out.

Endless chakra transformed into a cold, raging wind that swept towards him.

But none of this chakra could break through the barrier.

A deafening sound sounded.

A large red head slammed into the fence.

The nine-tailed fox bared its teeth and glared at him, its massive size and gleaming teeth flashing coldly.

Behind it, nine tails floated in the air like tentacles.

Naruto Uzumaki instinctively took a half step back.

His first impression was that the nine-tailed fox was huge, and then he thought it was fierce.

How powerful must the First Hokage have been to defeat such a tailed beast?

Naruto Uzumaki was momentarily distracted.

"Human, I will kill you!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox's ferocious aura filled the entire sealed space.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Kill you, and I'll regain my freedom!"

When Kurama mentioned freedom, the killing intent in his eyes became even more pronounced.

"No, I can't die!"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "I still want to become the strongest Hokage!"

"The strongest Hokage?"

The Nine-Tails paused, then said disdainfully, "You simply can't!"

It is because he personally experienced the power of Hashirama Senju.

There is no one in the entire ninja world who is stronger than him.

Unless the Sage of Six Paths is resurrected.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up, his teeth flashing, and said, "Youth has infinite possibilities!"

"Because you simply can't beat Hashirama Senju!"

"It's Nine-Tailed Fox," Nine-Tailed Fox said in grief and indignation.

It was badly beaten by Hashirama Senju back then.

"Just because I can't beat them now doesn't mean I can't beat them in the future!"

Naruto Uzumaki said with great confidence.

"Ignorant humans!"

Nine-Tailed Fox said disdainfully.

"I sense that you are very afraid of the First Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki tilted his head and said.

"nonsense!"

The Nine-Tails, as if its tail had been stepped on, roared in fury, "I am the most powerful tailed beast, why would I be afraid of him?"

The sealed space trembled violently, and a red gale swept through, as terrifying as the end of the world.

Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat worried.

Is this seal secure?

Fortunately, nothing happened.

In the dark, sealed space, a human and a fox stared at each other, the atmosphere inexplicably awkward.

Just as Naruto was about to speak, everything went black before his eyes, and he was kicked away.

He returned to the playground.

"How about it?"

Kitazawa asked.

"It seems very difficult to communicate with."

Naruto Uzumaki thought for a moment and then said.

"It's normal to have difficulty communicating."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "You can talk to it when you have nothing to do. Anyway, it can't hurt you."

[Current Mission: Inform Naruto about the existence of the Nine-Tails.]

[Mission Reward: Half a card's maximum Chakra.]

[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Simple and unpretentious task rewards.

Kitazawa's total chakra is about to reach seven chakra.

"Ok!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded vigorously.

He was used to being alone, so the sudden discovery that he had a nine-tailed fox inside him that he could communicate with found it quite novel.

"Let's go to the playground."

Kitazawa led him to the playground.

The gifted class has finished its training, but none of them have left.

Kitazawa had specifically instructed them to stay and wait for him.

In addition to the students, Kakashi Hatake and Kosuke Maruboshi were also present.

"The first monthly exam of the semester will be held next Thursday and Friday."

Kitazawa looked at them and spoke.

"Is it time for another monthly exam?"

Kiba Inuzuka said with a regretful look, "It's a pity I haven't learned how to use the tooth-ball technique yet."

Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly.

His Lightning Release: Chidori was also a bit lacking.

Compared to the last final exam, his abilities have not improved significantly.

But Naruto Uzumaki is different.

He received the greatsword Samehada from Kitazawa.

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't beat him in the last final exam, so it's even less likely this time.

Okay, I'll hold back for now!
Uchiha Sasuke could only hope to learn Lightning Release: Chidori as soon as possible.

"For this monthly exam, I plan to add a special practical exam."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

The news was so sudden that it caught them completely off guard.

Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi exchanged a glance, both surprised.

They didn't know about this either.

Kitazawa did not tell them in advance.

"Teacher Kitazawa, what method is it?"

Kiba Inuzuka raised his hand and asked.

A practical exam definitely requires real-world testing.

In his view, for these students, there was no other way to practice besides exchanging skills with each other.

Is this going to be a class-wide brawl?
"Do the task."

Kitazawa replied, "I, Kakashi, and Kosuke-senpai will lead the team so you can experience the real ninja life in advance."

He didn't make this decision on a whim.

It was thought of when they were planning to seize Thor's sword.

Kitazawa originally planned to take Uchiha Sasuke with him on this mission.

But bringing one is the same as bringing three.

A ninja's only job is to carry out missions.

It's not a bad thing to let Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki get used to things in advance.

Besides, there is another reason.

That means the monthly exam rankings for the gifted class have become relatively stable and unlikely to change much, especially for the top twenty.

The fighting went back and forth, and it was still Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

The previous point of interest was who would win first place.

But as Naruto's strength rapidly increased, this suspense gradually disappeared.

The top three are basically fixed as Naruto Uzumaki, Yakumo Kurama, and Sasuke Uchiha.

The rest are Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame, who are quite a fixed group.

"what?"

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened.

Everyone else also showed expressions of surprise.

This kind of practical testing method is unheard of.

According to the rules of Konoha Village, only officially recognized ninjas can carry out missions.

If the Hokage were still Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would be difficult to even mention Kitazawa.

But now it's Tsunade, and it's easier to talk to someone on her side.

"Looks like it's not time for me to retire yet."

Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled upon hearing this and said...

He just happened to want to go out and stretch his muscles and try out his new left leg.

Kakashi Hatake was somewhat surprised, but not much.

He came from the secret service and was used to obeying orders.

Kitazawa is now the captain of the Anbu and the vice principal of the Ninja Academy; he is the leader everywhere.

"I like this kind of practical approach!"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly.

He had wanted to become a ninja for a long time, but he didn't want to graduate early because he couldn't bear to leave Kitazawa's teachings.

Now that there's a way to become a ninja without graduating, he's naturally very excited.

"I can feel my youth burning!"

Rock Lee clenched his fists, wishing he could get to the mission immediately. "Damn it, this is even more troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikamaru felt a wave of dizziness, sensing that his future was bleak.

Doing missions is dangerous, time-consuming, and exhausting, often requiring ten days to half a month to live in the wild.

For a lazybones like him, it was pure torture.

"Looks like I'll have to bring more potato chips."

Choji Akimichi chuckled sheepishly and said.

He has an easygoing personality; he's fine as long as he has potato chips to eat.

"I think it's pretty good!"

Yamanaka Ino smiled and said, "It would be even better if Kitazawa-sensei led the team!"

Hinata Hyuga nodded in agreement.

Uchiha Sasuke paused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

As things stand, in a direct confrontation, he would have a very difficult time defeating Naruto Uzumaki.

But if it's done through tasks, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

He might just win first place again!
Neji Hyuga shared a similar idea.

When they go out on missions, the Hyuga clan has the biggest advantage because they possess the Byakugan.

It's not a dream that we'll surpass Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

"How do we form a team?"

Sakura Haruno suddenly remembered something and asked expectantly, "Can I team up with Sasuke-kun?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha instinctively wanted to refuse, but he quickly changed his mind.

Because Sakura Haruno is a rare medical ninja.

With her joining, their team might perform even better.

"This involves the rules of this special practical exam."

Kitazawa began to explain the rules.

Article 1: Only eighteen students are qualified to participate in the special practical exam.

There is one teacher in charge and three student team members, which means there are a total of six teams.

Kitazawa, Kakashi Hatake, and Kosuke Maruboshi each lead two teams.

Article 2: The tasks accepted should, in principle, not exceed level B.

In other words, you can only accept D-level and C-level missions.

Although Sasuke Uchiha and his friends are no less powerful than Chunin, they are still young and have poor mental resilience.

Especially for missions of rank B and above, there is a high probability of killing someone.

It wouldn't be good if it left them with psychological trauma.

Let's start with simple tasks and get them used to the ninja life first.

To avoid a situation like the one in the original work where Team 7's C-rank mission encountered Zabuza Momochi, Kitazawa will send ANBU to protect them.

After all, it's a waste not to use power. He's the captain of the secret service now, so he should use it when necessary.

The third point is what Sakura Haruno asked about: how to form a team.

There are two methods. The main one is to randomly draw lots to form teams, and the other is to have the team leader decide.

The fourth point is the scoring rules.

Students are graded based on their performance during the task execution process.

Having exceptionally good behavior will earn you extra points, such as spotting the enemy ahead of time.

Finally, rankings are determined based on scores.

"Did you understand? Raise your hand if you have any questions."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he asked a question.

What were the criteria for selecting these eighteen students?

Nara Shikamaru's eyes darted around, and he raised his hand to ask, "Is the ranking based on the total scores?"

He was already thinking about how to keep his score below 18th place.

"No."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "It was chosen by the three of us teachers based on your usual training performance."

"..."

Nara Shikamaru's face immediately froze.

How to do this?
During regular training, Kitazawa or his shadow clone would always be watching him, making it difficult for him to slack off.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt he couldn't escape this fate.

He was completely listless, like a wilted eggplant.

Upon seeing this, Kitazawa couldn't help but chuckle.

This little guy is always thinking about how to slack off.

But the cruelty of the ninja world doesn't allow for slacking off.

In the original work, Nara Shikamaru only realized his mistakes after Sarutobi Asuma's death.

Such a thing is unlikely to happen again now, so only Kitazawa can urge him on.

[Current objective: To achieve first place in the new practical exam.]

[Mission Reward: Proficient-level Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation.]

【Whether to accept? 】

As expected, a new system task was triggered.

The rewards for this task are pretty good too.

Kitazawa is currently only missing Fire Release among the seven proficient chakra nature transformations.

Lightning Release is the only mastery-level chakra nature transformation among them.

"If there are no other questions, then school can end now."

Kitazawa waited a moment before speaking.

"Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!"

Naruto and the others greeted him and then turned and walked towards the school gate.

"Kousuke-senpai, Kakashi, I forgot to tell you about this beforehand. I hope you won't blame me."

Kitazawa looked at Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi and said.

"This is exactly what I wanted."

Maruhoshi Kosuke said with a smile.

"It's good to go out for some fresh air."

Kakashi Hatake said calmly.

Although he neglected his exercise, doing D-level and C-level missions was no less enjoyable for him than going out for a walk.

"That's good."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "After the theory exam on Thursday, we will officially begin this new practical exam."

As for students who are not eligible to participate, they will continue with the original practical exam under the guidance of Iruka Umino.

Kosuke Maruboshi and Kakashi Hatake nodded.

They had no objections.

"See you tomorrow."

Kitazawa said goodbye to them and left the ninja academy.

He headed towards Kurenai's house.

Halfway there, he suddenly frowned.

Someone is following him.

What puzzled him was that this person did not deliberately hide his tracks and acted blatantly.

"Come out."

Kitazawa walked into a secluded alley.

If they are enemies, at least the villagers won't be affected by the fighting.

However, Kitazawa felt that they were most likely not enemies.

To openly kill him in Konoha Village would be something few in the entire ninja world would dare to do.

"Kitazawa".

A cold, clear voice rang out.

What followed was a cold and aloof face devoid of any expression.

"Xonan."

Kitazawa's face showed surprise.

He never expected to see Konan in Konoha Village.

This time, Konan wasn't wearing the Akatsuki's classic black trench coat embroidered with red clouds; instead, she was wearing a ninja vest from Amegakure.

Kitazawa roughly understood how she got in.

They were ninjas disguised as Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

During non-ninja war periods, ninjas from different villages were permitted to travel between each other.

Of course, ninjas from other villages would be monitored by the Konoha Police Department or the Anbu after entering Konoha, to prevent them from causing trouble.

Xiao Nan must have used some method to avoid them so that she could meet him alone.

"What do you find me for?"

Kitazawa asked with a smile.

He thought of the Amegakure ninja Midori and the Thunder God's Sword.

If Xiao Nan needs his help, then a deal could be made.

As for whether she cares about the ninjas of Amegakure, it can only be described as Schrödinger's concern.

In the original work, there is a scene like this.

A ninja from Amegakure named Ajisaka, who had just passed the Chunin Exams, was sent on an S-rank mission and then died tragically.

After her death, her body was transformed into the Animal Path, one of the Six Paths of Pain.

It's clearly unreasonable for a Chunin to be assigned an S-rank mission; it's more like she's being deliberately sent to her death.

Whether Green Aoi is a rogue ninja from Konoha or not, Konan, or rather the Akatsuki organization, wouldn't care.

"I heard you created a medical ninjutsu that can regenerate severed limbs?"

Xiao Nan asked in a calm tone.

Although she cared a lot about this medical ninjutsu that could regenerate severed limbs, she knew that the more obvious it was, the easier it would be for her to be manipulated.

“Indeed, there is.”

Kitazawa's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Nagato.

The only person who could make Konan travel all the way to Konoha Village was Nagato.

His legs had been destroyed by Hanzo's explosive tags a long time ago.

“One of our Akatsuki members has a problem with both legs.”

Konan said calmly, "I would like to ask you to treat him. Our Akatsuki organization can provide sufficient funds."

What exactly is wrong with his legs?

Looking at her unchanging expression, Kitazawa explained, "I need to understand the situation clearly before I can know whether I can save him."

Konan briefly described the condition of Nagato's legs.

She replaced Nagato's loss of chakra and life force due to the Gedo Mazo with the side effects of performing some forbidden technique.

"It will probably be very difficult to treat."

Kitazawa said with a solemn expression, "Your problem is not only that your legs are crippled, but also that your life force is being depleted."

"You don't need to worry about the consumption of life force."

Xiao Nan shook her head and said.

Although Kitazawa was an excellent medical ninja, she didn't think he could heal the damage caused by the Gedo Mazo.

"I can ignore the other parts of my body, but I can't ignore my legs."

Kitazawa explained, "The principle behind limb regeneration is that it consumes life force to regenerate organs."

"Does that mean it's incurable?"

Disappointment flashed through Xiao Nan's mind, but her expression remained largely unchanged.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"How to cure it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan asked instinctively.

After realizing there was hope of curing Nagato's legs, her face finally showed expression.

"His condition is several times more complicated than that of ordinary patients."

Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "It would be too fake to talk about how to treat it now. I need to examine it myself before I can determine the treatment plan."
