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

Chapter 343 Shino Aburame vs. Tetsuka Uchiha (First and Second Updates)

In the ninth sparring match, Tayuya from the genius class was chosen to represent them.

Her opponent was a genjutsu ninja, but she won by summoning three raging beasts, the Angry Demon.

It must be said that the combination of genjutsu and summoning beasts is very effective against ordinary ninjas.

"The tenth sparring match: Nara Shikamaru versus Aburame Muta!"

Umino Iruka shouted loudly.

"A ninja from the Aburame clan?"

Nara Shikamaru paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "What a troublesome opponent."

"He is a special Jonin, whose role leans towards sensory ninja."

Shino Aburame reminded her.

"Thank you."

Nara Shikamaru nodded and said.

"If Sakura can defeat a Special Jonin, Shikamaru, you can too!"

Yamanaka Ino waved her little fist and said.

"What do you mean I can defeat even a special Jonin?"

Sakura Haruno snorted, raised her chin, and said smugly, "I'm very strong!"

"Sakura is really amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki said, his teeth flashing.

"It just feels a little strange coming from you."

Sakura Haruno remarked.

She never defeated Naruto Uzumaki, so how can she be considered very powerful?
"Shikamaru, do your best!"

"Choji Akimichi said encouragingly."

Nara Shikamaru said goodbye to them and walked to the middle of the playground.

Aburame Muta had already arrived.

Like other Aburame clan ninjas, he wore a white robe, sunglasses, and carried a jar on his back.

Aburame Muta was one of the members of the underwater exploration team established by Kitazawa.

When he returned to Konoha to report on his work, he was unexpectedly selected by Kitazawa, so he came to participate in the final exam of the genius class.

"It feels like it will be very difficult to win."

Nara Shikaku frowned as he spoke.

"Have faith in Shikamaru, he's your son."

"I can comfort you," said Choza Akimichi.

"I have confidence in him, but his opponents are very strong."

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said, "The secret techniques of the Aburame clan are more effective against the Nara clan."

If it's a team battle, he naturally won't worry.

The secret techniques of the three races—Pig, Deer, and Butterfly—complement each other, making them virtually flawless.

But now it's just Nara Shikamaru alone.

"There is no such thing as restraint when faced with the high intelligence of your Nara clan."

Yu Nu Zhiwei shook her head and said.

"The battle begins!"

Umino Iruka's voice drew their attention to the arena.

Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects!
Aburame Muta raised her hand.

He was very familiar with the secret techniques of the Nara clan.

Once you're controlled, you're not far from losing, so the best approach is to maintain a certain distance.

In that case, Nara Shikamaru's shadow will be detected as soon as it moves.

He can dodge in time and then defeat the enemy from a distance using parasitic insects.

Upon seeing this, Nara Shikamaru immediately threw out two shuriken.

But just as the shuriken were about to hit, the parasitic insect split into four strands, successfully avoiding both shuriken.

"really."

Nara Shikamaru wasn't surprised either.

After throwing the shuriken, he ran to the left.

Upon seeing this, Aburame Muta immediately directed the parasitic insects to catch up with him.

Nara Shikamaru was chased so badly that he scrambled across the field to avoid the parasitic insects.

Aburame Muta breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The students in the previous genius class posed a great threat to him, but now it seems that Nara Shikamaru is slightly inferior.

Whoosh!
Nara Shikamaru took a moment to throw out six more shuriken.

But this time he didn't attack the parasitic insects; instead, he targeted Aburame Muta.

Secret Technique: Insect Wall Technique!
Aburame Muta stood still.

Parasitic worms, resembling thick smoke, flew out of his jar.

The parasites quickly swarmed together, forming a wall of insects.

The six shuriken landed on the insect wall, immediately losing their impact and falling towards the ground.

One of the shuriken landed right in the shadow of Aburame Muta.

The shadow imitates a shuriken!
Nara Shikamaru's secret technique immediately took effect.

Aburame Muta immediately sensed something was wrong; his body suddenly became immobile.

His gaze swept over the shuriken on the ground and finally found the one that had frozen his shadow.

"Mistake!"

While trying to regain her mobility, Aburame Muta directed the parasitic insects that formed the insect wall to bite the shuriken on the ground.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
Nara Shikamaru transformed into a leaf and disappeared.

The parasites that were chasing him lost their target and stopped in their tracks.

Aburame Muta's expression changed drastically, but she was too late.

Nara Shikamaru appeared beside him, pressing a kunai against his neck.

"The victor is Nara Shikamaru!"

Iruka Umino announced.

"As expected of your Nara clan."

After watching the whole thing, Aburame Shiki couldn't help but say, "First show weakness, then win in one fell swoop."

"Shikamaru is indeed intelligent."

Choza Akimichi agreed.

"The key is still the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique."

Nara Shikaku smiled, but still humbly said, "Kitazawa deserves the most credit."

"After all, it was Kitazawa's arrangement."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said, "He must have considered it."

Fugaku Uchiha glanced at him.

Hiashi Hyuga has been very supportive of Kitazawa all day. Could it be that something happened between them that he doesn't know about?

Fugaku Uchiha felt a sense of urgency.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kitazawa will become the next Hokage.

Whoever has a good relationship with him will have an advantage, especially since he can decide who will be the next Hokage.

In theory, Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, and Sasuke Uchiha all have the qualifications to become Hokage.

Although they were slightly inferior to Sasuke Uchiha, their talent and strength were still outstanding among their peers.

Neji Hyuga has the Caged Bird Seal, which lowers his chances of becoming Hokage.

However, it's hard to say about Hinata Hyuga.

Especially since a female Hokage like Tsunade has already appeared.

Nara Shikamaru has rejoined the ranks of the genius class.

"Why are all the Nara people so intelligent?"

Sakura Haruno couldn't help but ask.

"It's something you're born with, there's nothing you can do about it."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said.

"hateful!"

Kiba Inuzuka said enviously, "If I had Shikamaru's intelligence, I definitely wouldn't have lost!"

He almost won his previous fight against Gangzi Tetsuya.

"It's not a matter of intelligence."

Nara Shikamaru explained, "I was able to win entirely thanks to the Konoha Body Flicker Technique that Kitazawa-sensei taught me."

He and Nara Shikaku used the same term without consulting each other.

Yamanaka Ino nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Without the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique, he wouldn't have been able to seize that brief second to attack Aburame Muta.

Tayuya clenched her fists instinctively.

Although she defeated her opponent, he was only a Chunin.

Nara Shikamaru and his team defeated special Jonin, so their rankings this time are likely all above hers.

Moreover, their progress is too fast. What if she falls out of the top eighteen if this continues?
It seems I really need to ask Kitazawa for help.

"The eleventh sparring match: Yamanaka Ino versus Uzuki Yugao!"

Umino Iruka looked at the match schedule and read it aloud.

"Your turn, Ino."

Nara Shikamaru immediately said, "Be careful."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you lose!"

Sakura Haruno crossed her arms and said.

"Lose? Just wait and see what happens!"

Yamanaka Ino glanced at her and said with great confidence.

"Don't be too happy yet. I've heard Kosuke-sensei mention this senior Uzuki Yugao. Her Konoha-ryu swordsmanship is very powerful!"

Sakura Haruno scoffed and said, "You definitely can't beat her!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke shut his mouth again.

When Maruboshi Kosuke taught him the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, he mentioned Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate.

Because those two were the ninjas who were most skilled in Konoha-style swordsmanship besides him.

But since Sakura Haruno had already given him a heads-up, there was no need for him to repeat himself.

"We'll see!"

Yamanaka Ino nudged her and walked into the center of the field.

Uzuki Yugao then walked to the opposite side of her.

As she looked at Yamanaka Ino, the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan came to mind.

The previous sparring between Inuzuka Hana and Yamanaka Fu also showed her how to defeat the Yamanaka clan's ninjas.

Thinking of this, she immediately came up with a solution.

Shadow Clone Technique!
As soon as the battle began, Uzuki Yugao created two shadow clones.

Shadow clones are undoubtedly a better counter to the Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique and Mind Transfer Clone Technique.

Yamanaka Ino frowned slightly.

This operation was indeed tricky for her.

Fortunately, she's no longer just a ninja from the mountain clan. Ninja Art: Moonlit Beauty!

Yamanaka Ino stood still and flung out a large number of flower petals.

Leaf-style swordsmanship!
Uzuki Yugao and her two shadow clones, each wielding a ninja sword, charged towards Yamanaka Ino.

They suddenly stopped halfway through the run.

Because Yamanaka Ino disappeared before their eyes.

Uzuki Yugao and her two shadow clones subconsciously looked around, but they couldn't see her.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from above.

Uzuki Yugao subconsciously looked up and saw countless ninja flowers rushing towards them.

Leaf Style Swordsmanship: Dance of the Crescent Moon!

Uzuki Yugao was very decisive.

She and her two shadow clones went straight to meet them.

The flowers were cleaved in two by their ninja swords and surrounded Yamanaka Ino at an extremely fast speed.

The fox's mind trick!
Yamanaka Ino didn't dodge; she immediately unleashed an illusion.

Uzuki Yugao and her two shadow clones suddenly changed direction.

What was originally a straight line became a diagonal line, causing them to miss Yamanaka Ino.

This is the effect of the fox's mind trick, causing the target to wander unconsciously, as if bewitched by the fox.

Illusion - Dispel!
Uzuki Yugao, being a special Jonin, immediately realized what was happening.

Just then, Yamanaka Ino turned around and threw three specially made ninja flowers at them.

As soon as Uzuki Yugao broke free of the illusion, she smelled a familiar scent of explosive tags.

Her expression immediately changed drastically, and she stepped back.

In order to save her, her two shadow clones had no choice but to use their ninja swords to slash at Shinobu.

Boom!
The flower exploded, turning her two shadow clones into smoke.

Uzuki Yugao sensed something subtle.

Yamanaka Ino never used any of the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques from beginning to end, causing all of her plans to fall through.

Without further hesitation, she leaped into the air and unfurled her ninja sword.

Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Oborozuki Yoru!

Her ninja sword was incredibly fast, its afterimage forming a full moon.

With a flash, Uzuki Yugao descended from the sky and arrived in front of Yamanaka Ino, where countless sword shadows enveloped her.

Ninja Technique: Heart Butterfly!

Yamanaka Ino's lips curled slightly as a mental shockwave struck Uzuki Yugao, who was standing right next to her.

Her body trembled suddenly, she felt dizzy and couldn't hold the ninja sword properly, so it fell to the ground with a thud.

"I won!"

Yamanaka Ino immediately took out a kunai and held it against her neck.

Maoyue Xiyan shook her head.

Once he regained consciousness, he saw the kunai in front of him.

"You really don't seem like someone from the mountains."

Uzuki Yugao picked up the ninja sword and said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Kitazawa-sensei's excellent teaching."

Yamanaka Ino said with a smug look on her face.

"I see."

Uzuki Yugao nodded and said, "I didn't lose unjustly."

"The victor is the mountain village and the wilderness."

Iruka Umino announced.

"How did Ino become a complete genjutsu ninja?"

Akimichi Choza subconsciously looked at Yamanaka Inoichi.

"This is Kitazawa's arrangement."

Yamanaka Inoichi smiled and said, "I didn't expect her to have such a talent for illusion."

"I have to say that Ino's performance was indeed very good."

Nara Shikaku praised her, saying, "Even without the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, she could still become a Jonin."

"What was the secret technique Ino used at the end?"

Yu Nu Zhiwei asked curiously, "How come I remember your mountain tribe doesn't have this secret technique?"

"It is a Yin Release secret technique created by Kitazawa."

Yamanaka Inoichi replied.

"It feels like Kitazawa is already showing the style of the Second Hokage."

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh.

"really."

Inuzuka Tsuru echoed.

Kitazawa created several ninjutsu techniques specifically for Kiba Inuzuka.

"The twelfth sparring match: Shino Aburame versus Tetsuka Uchiha!"

Iruka Umino glanced at the match schedule, his pupils contracted, but he still shouted without changing his expression.

However, the audience members all showed surprised expressions upon hearing this.

"Shino's opponent is Tetsuka?"

Inuzuka Tsurugi couldn't help but feel taken aback.

Although she had a premonition that Shino Aburame's opponent would be a Jonin, she did not expect it to be an Uchiha Jonin.

The strength of a Jonin from the Uchiha clan far surpasses that of a normal Jonin.

In the ninja world, there is a legend of the Uchiha clan being invincible in one-on-one combat.

"This arrangement... is tricky."

Nara Shikaku originally wanted to say that the arrangement was not reasonable, but when he thought that it was Kitazawa's arrangement, he immediately changed his mind.

"This is extremely difficult."

Choza Akimichi shook his head and said.

Even they would have to be careful when facing Uchiha Tetsuka.

After all, he has a three-tomoe Sharingan, and trouble could easily arise if he's not careful.

"Kitazawa wouldn't arrange a sparring match where the skill gap seems so large."

Fugaku Uchiha said calmly, "The only explanation is that he believes Shino has the strength to rival Tekka."

Hiashi Hyuga subconsciously looked at him.

Why are you copying me?

The reason he is so supportive of Kitazawa today is because Kitazawa gifted the Hyuga clan two priceless ninja tools.

Of course, this is only the surface reason.

The deeper reason is that Kitazawa gave such priceless ninja tools to Hinata and Neji, which shows how much he valued them.

Hiashi Hyuga had no interest in becoming Hokage.

Because the Hyuga clan has always been one of non-competitive, seeking only to maintain their existing status.

But now, Kitazawa's actions have stirred up some thoughts in him.

What if?
If Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga become Hokage, the Hyuga clan will usher in an unprecedented golden age.

Nara Shikaku glanced around, vaguely guessing what was going on.

But all he could do was envy him.

After all, under normal circumstances, the Nara clan wouldn't be able to produce a Hokage.

My strength doesn't allow it.

"Zhiwei, why aren't you saying anything?"

Nara Shikaku discovered the blind spot.

"I have nothing to say."

Aburame smiled and said, "Let's watch a friendly spar."

Not many people know that Shino Aburame learned the secret techniques of the Kamimizu clan.

As his father, Yu Nu Zhiwei was naturally aware of this.

In addition, there are fireflies and bursting beetles.

In all calculations, Shino Aburame does have a chance of winning.

"It seems you're very confident."

Nara Shikaku realized what was happening.

The others, including Fugaku Uchiha, became curious upon hearing this.

He didn't actually think Shino Aburame could defeat Tekka Uchiha; he only said that out of respect for Kitazawa.

Shino Aburame took a deep breath and stepped onto the field.

Uchiha Tetsuka put a lot of pressure on him.

After all, he had never defeated Sasuke Uchiha in the genius class.

In contrast to him was Uchiha Tetsuka, who appeared very relaxed.

Although the students in the genius class had all shown surprising strength, they were still some distance from becoming Jonin.

Uchiha Tetsuka didn't think that Aburame Shino had the strength of a Jonin.

"The battle begins!"

Iruka Umino's gaze fell on Shino Aburame.

As his teacher, he was well aware of Shino Aburame's strength, but since his opponent was Tetsuka Uchiha, he didn't really have much confidence in him.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Uchiha Tekka formed hand seals, and a huge fireball hurtled towards Aburame Shino.

Secret Technique: Insect Wall Technique!
Shino Aburame immediately released a large number of parasites.

Boom!
The fireball struck the insect's body, and the scorching heat caused the parasitic insects to burst into flames, burning them to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The fireball, now smaller, still hurtled towards Shino Aburame.

Shino Aburame immediately dodged to the left.

Uchiha Tetsuka smiled faintly, feeling that victory was assured.

Fire Release: Impatiens flower claws are red!
As soon as Shino Aburame appeared, he immediately threw a shuriken and spat out flames at the same time.

Flames enveloped the shuriken, blocking Shino Aburame's escape routes like a shower of flowers.

Summoning Technique: Queen Bee!
Shino Aburame bit her thumb and slammed it to the ground.

A queen bee, four or five meters long, appeared.

It immediately threw out a honeycomb and placed it in front of Shino Aburame.

The flaming shuriken struck the hive, and the chakra it contained was quickly absorbed by the hive.

"what?"

Uchiha Tetsuka's expression immediately changed.

"This is... the queen bee of the Upper Stream Clan?"

Nara Shikaku looked him over twice and asked uncertainly.

"good."

Aburame Shii nodded and explained, "Kitazawa took Shino out on a mission and happened to encounter ninjas from the Kamimizu clan."

"It's Kitazawa again?"

Choza Akimichi said with a sigh, "I feel like the reason why the students in the genius class are able to become stronger is all because of Kitazawa."
