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

Chapter 347 Sunny Day Aids Despair, Final Exams End, Tsunade's Deep Kiss (Five Chapters Combined)
Sarutobi Asuma fainted because he had used up too much chakra.

Samehada.

While treating him, Kitazawa said, "Give him back his chakra."

Upon hearing this, Samehada opened its mouth and spat its chakra into Sarutobi Asuma.

Sarutobi Asuma's pale face quickly returned to normal.

After the Greatsword Samehada finished exhaling his chakra, it trotted over to Naruto Uzumaki and rubbed against his leg.

Sarutobi Asuma woke up.

He paused for a moment, recalling what had happened before he lost consciousness.

Sarutobi Asuma twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking it would have been better if he hadn't woken up.

"Asuma, where are you injured again?"

After Kitazawa healed his hands, he asked.

"No, thank you."

Sarutobi Asuma got up and couldn't help but complain, "How come each of your students is stronger than the last?"

"It's because they are highly talented."

Kitazawa replied with a smile.

Sarutobi Asuma hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

You mean I'm not very talented?

Thinking about it carefully, compared to Naruto and the others, he really does seem quite ordinary.

"Never mind, I'll leave the field first."

Sarutobi Asuma waved his hand and said.

Although losing was embarrassing, he realized it was because he was simply not as skilled as his opponent, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Umino Iruka stepped forward and asked, "Now that all eighteen sparring matches are over, shall we proceed with the on-site rankings?"

"Wait a minute, there's another sparring match."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Naruto said before that he wanted to challenge Sasuke."

"This was exactly what I expected."

Upon hearing this, Iruka Umino smiled.

After all, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki had sparred many times and were lifelong rivals who helped each other improve.

In a sense, it is a very enviable relationship.

After all, many people spend their entire lives without finding such a close friend.

"I'll take on the challenge right now!"

Naruto Uzumaki, who hadn't participated, immediately spoke up upon hearing Kitazawa's words.

"Naruto, take a 15-minute rest."

Kitazawa looked at him and said, "You just had a match with Asuma, so your condition must have been affected."

Naruto was about to say he was fine, but then he thought that he really had to go all out to deal with Sasuke Uchiha.

He nodded and walked back to the queue of the gifted class.

"Naruto, I really don't know where you get so much chakra."

Kiba Inuzuka nudged him with envy and said, "If I had your chakra, I'd be number one every day."

"Having a lot of chakra doesn't necessarily mean you're strong."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Talent is also very important."

"In addition to that, you also need a greatsword, Samehada."

Tian Tian added.

When Sasuke Uchiha heard the name Samehada, his lips twitched involuntarily.

One of the reasons Naruto Uzumaki was able to defeat Asuma Sarutobi was because of the Samehada sword.

He himself had suffered losses from it in previous exchanges.

Even now, with the Sharingan having reached the three-tomoe stage, he still has to be wary of the Greatsword Samehada.

Fortunately, his perception has greatly improved, and theoretically, he can prevent Samehada from touching him, thus preventing his chakra from being drained.

"Can't you let me fantasize a little?"

Kiba Inuzuka sighed and asked.

"Chasing after the strong, that's the true meaning of youth!"

Lee Locke clenched his fist and said, "After the practical exam, I'm going to run an extra hundred laps!"

"You're making me seem lazy."

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but rub his forehead.

In fact, he was already quite diligent, but he was still far behind Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee.

"Sasuke, in fifteen minutes, let's have a youthful sparring match!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave Sasuke Uchiha a thumbs up.

"Prepare to face your defeat."

Sasuke Uchiha said calmly, "You won't win against those eyes."

"As expected of Sasuke!"

Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed excitedly, "I can feel your passionate youth!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke was speechless.

"You two should hurry up and recover."

Yamanaka Ino offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki said nothing more, sat down on the spot, and began to rest.

Neither of them wanted to lose.

Sasuke Uchiha believed he had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, and for the sake of the Uchiha, he wanted to keep winning.

Naruto Uzumaki's thoughts were simpler; he gave his all in every sparring match, embodying the way of youth.

While they rested, the other students in the gifted class started discussing amongst themselves.

Whom do you support?

Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously.

"Sakura, you don't need to say anything. Everyone knows who you'll support."

Yamanaka Ino interrupted Haruno Sakura's singing prematurely.

"..."

Sakura Haruno felt uncomfortable.

But then she thought, if she didn't say anything, Sasuke Uchiha might be able to win.

"Naruto's youth has no limits!"

Rock Lee gave a thumbs up and said.

"Naruto is indeed far superior to Sasuke in terms of chakra."

Nara Shikamaru nodded and said, "But the advantages of the three-tomoe Sharingan are not insignificant either."

"If Naruto's every move can be seen through by the three-tomoe Sharingan, then he will have a very hard time winning."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.

"Naruto has the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to make up for this weakness."

Hyuga Neji pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Even the greatsword Samehada isn't afraid of close combat."

Tian Tian followed closely behind, saying.

"After this analysis, it seems that their chances of winning are about the same."

Yamanaka Ino raised an eyebrow and said.

"What a pervert!"

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but complain, "It's one thing to have one pervert, but why are there two?"

Everyone remained silent; they too wanted to know the answer to this question.

Since its establishment, the Ninja Academy has had many classes of students.

But basically, each class has one exceptionally outstanding genius.

For example, Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha.

In their year, there was more than one exceptionally talented individual.

"It must be because of Kitazawa-sensei!"

Hinata Hyuga, who hadn't said much until now, finally spoke.

Kitazawa returned to his seat on the other side.

Before leaving the stage, he explained the reason to the audience.

Upon hearing that it was Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha who were going to spar, they immediately became very patient and waited.

Those present were all clan leaders and elite Jonin from various ninja clans, and they were all aware of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's identities.

Therefore, they were very curious about who would win.

After their previous sparring, even Fugaku Uchiha couldn't say for sure that Sasuke Uchiha would win.

"The nineteenth sparring match: Uchiha Sasuke versus Uzumaki Naruto!"

"The break is over!" Umino Iruka shouted.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki walked into the arena one after the other.

Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, and the others all turned their gazes toward them.

"The battle begins!"

After Iruka Umino finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
As is customary, Uchiha Sasuke formed hand seals and spat out a large fireball.

Then, he took out Thor's sword, and with a hum, the blade appeared.

He followed the giant fireball toward Naruto Uzumaki.

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

Naruto Uzumaki did not immediately use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, but instead clapped his hands together.

The wind-style chakra transformed into a raging gale, flying out like a cannonball.

boom!
Wind and fire collided.

Naruto's chakra was superior, directly scattering the giant fireball in all directions.

Flames flew toward Uchiha Sasuke.

Three Magatama Sharingan!

Sasuke Uchiha easily dodged all the flames and suddenly swung out the Thunder God Sword in his hand.

A flash of lightning erupted from the blade of the Thunder God Sword, heading straight for Naruto Uzumaki.

Without saying a word, Naruto Uzumaki took out his greatsword Samehada and held it in front of him.

The greatsword Samehada opened its mouth and swallowed all the lightning.

Konoha Style: Willow!

With a flick of his wrist, Sasuke Uchiha conjured a multitude of sword shadows before him.

Naruto's body was frozen by the genjutsu, but Kurama immediately dispelled it.

If Naruto were to fall under another ninja's genjutsu, Kurama might consider it.

But it certainly wouldn't allow genjutsu from the Uchiha clan.

It's now!

Sasuke Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan caught Naruto Uzumaki in a moment of distraction, and his Thunder God Sword suddenly thrust out.

Samehada instinctively tried to bite down on Thor's Sword, but missed and only bit into air.

"Fierce Leaf Vajra Whirlwind!"

At the critical moment, Naruto Uzumaki kicked the Thunder God Sword.

As a tremendous force struck, Sasuke Uchiha felt a numbness in his hand and involuntarily released the Thunder God Sword, which flew into the sky.

"Konoha-style swordsmanship!"

Naruto Uzumaki grabbed the Greatsword Samehada and slammed it at Sasuke Uchiha.

The situation reversed instantly.

But Sasuke Uchiha wasn't so panicked.

He could see Naruto's actions very clearly.

The only troublesome thing is the Greatsword Samehada.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately took out two kunai.

After blocking the Greatsword Samehada with his kunai, he leaped up and grasped the Thunder God Sword in mid-air.

Sasuke Uchiha infused it with Lightning Release chakra and then flung it downwards.

Lightning flashed everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of thunderclaps fell from the sky.

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

Naruto Uzumaki clapped his hands together.

A fierce wind arose out of nowhere, rising upwards to meet the dense, thunderous roar.

At the same time, he grabbed the greatsword Samehada without hesitation and ran backward.

The crackling sound is endless.

Although the wind was strong, it was not an earthen wall or a water wall after all, and many bolts of lightning spread out and streaked wildly in the air.

Because Naruto Uzumaki ran away in time, he was not affected.

Uchiha Sasuke stepped back and landed on the ground.

He looked at Naruto Uzumaki and sensed that he was somewhat different from usual.

Simply put, they are not reckless and know how to adapt to changing circumstances in battle.

This was actually thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He took Naruto Uzumaki on many missions, so he would give him guidance.

Besides, there is another reason.

That is, the enemies encountered in the mission are not of the same strength as the students in the genius class.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi was leading the team, so they often encountered Jonin.

Naruto Uzumaki could overpower the genius team by relying on his large chakra reserves, but he had to change his strategy when facing Jonin.

In fact, not only him, but many students in the gifted class also grew during the mission.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted and created hundreds of shadow clones.

"Power Prelude!"

As soon as a shadow clone appeared, it delivered a flying kick to Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke Uchiha dodged to the left, and the Thunder God Sword in his hand struck the shadow clone's heart.

Bang.

The shadow clone vanished as smoke.

"Konoha Tornado!"

Another shadow clone rushed in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

But as soon as he raised his leg, Thor's sword was already aimed at his head.

"Leaf Double Whirlwind!"

The two shadow clones used spinning kicks from both sides.

The shrill chirping of birds sounded.

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!
Uchiha Sasuke was enveloped in lightning.

The two shadow clones kicked the lightning, instantly becoming paralyzed.

Uchiha Sasuke continued walking forward.

With each step he took, he would precisely eliminate one of his shadow clones.

Compared to the Sharingan with its three tomoe, these shadow clones were far too slow.

Of course, the shadow clones are numerous and can occasionally break through the three-tomoe Sharingan, but they cannot break through the Lightning Release: Chidori Stream.

"Naruto, these shadow clones pose no threat to me anymore."

Sasuke Uchiha casually flicked his sword and said calmly.

He stood amidst the lightning, expressionless, looking as if the god of thunder had descended to earth.

"He truly is my lifelong nemesis!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "This youthful power is no weaker than mine!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke immediately felt that the style of the scene had suddenly changed.

It feels strange to talk about youth when such a cool scene is being filmed.

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

When Naruto's shadow clones realized that taijutsu was ineffective, they immediately gathered together.

A massive amount of chakra transformed into wind, a violent gust that swept upwards, causing the ground to tremble and dust to fly wherever it passed.

"Wind Release Shuriken!"

The densely packed shuriken, amplified by the storm, resembled arrows raining down from the sky.

"Is it finally here?"

Sasuke Uchiha recalled his last battle with Naruto Uzumaki at Hozuki Castle.

He used his three-tomoe Sharingan to dodge the Wind Release: Shuriken, and then used Lightning Release: Chidori Stream to withstand the Wind Release: Gale Palm, thus defeating him.

Although he was possessed by Wu at the time, he felt that he could replicate him.

Uchiha Sasuke gripped the Thunder God Sword tightly, his entire body enveloped in Lightning Release: Chidori Stream, as if he were a bolt of lightning rushing forward.

A bang!
He slashed a shuriken away with his sword.

But this was followed by even more shuriken.

"I can see!"

With a flick of his wrist, Uchiha Sasuke used the Konoha-style swordsmanship.

Thor's sword transformed into a bolt of lightning in his hand, deflecting the shurikens one by one with incredible speed.

"This scene seems familiar."

Nara Shikaku, who was watching the battle, thought of the previous battle between Sarutobi Asuma and Uzumaki Naruto.

"As expected, after activating the three-tomoe Sharingan, one can possess the strength of a Jonin."

"I sighed," said Yu Nuzhi.

“But Sasuke isn’t Asuma; he can’t last that long.”

Akimichi Choza glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and said.

"He's still young, so he doesn't have that much chakra."

Yamanaka Inoichi agreed.

Fugaku Uchiha did not participate in the discussion.

All his attention was focused on Uchiha Sasuke.

But it must be said that Naruto Uzumaki is indeed very difficult to deal with.

If he were in Fugaku's shoes, he wouldn't have had any good ideas either.

As expected of the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, he's a real nuisance.

The clanging sound suddenly stopped.

When Sasuke Uchiha was halfway through the fight, he realized there was a problem, so he put away the Thunder God Sword.

He couldn't replicate his actions at Hozuki Castle.

Because he hadn't attained enlightenment, he didn't have that much chakra.

Lightning Release: Thousand Birds!

Uchiha Sasuke transformed the lightning around his body into senbon needles and flung them out.

He previously transformed Lightning Release: Chidori into Lightning Release: Chidori Stream, and this time he transformed Lightning Release: Chidori Stream into Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon.

The dense array of senbon needles and shuriken created a stalemate, resulting in a rare vacuum in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

Instantaneous technique!
Uchiha Sasuke charged toward Uzumaki Naruto without hesitation.

Naruto Uzumaki is throwing Wind Release: Shuriken along with his shadow clone.

When he noticed that Uchiha Sasuke had disappeared, he instinctively grabbed the large sword Samehada on the ground.

But when he looked up, he saw Uchiha Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!
Uchiha Sasuke immediately used genjutsu.

Naruto Uzumaki was momentarily stunned.

Uchiha Sasuke's legs immediately burst forth with chakra, and he gripped the Thunder God Sword with both hands and swung it fiercely.

Lightning enveloped the sword as it slashed towards Naruto Uzumaki.

A bang!
Samehada was the first to react, leaping up to block Thor's sword.

But in the rush, it was unable to withstand the power of Thor's sword.

It flew backwards and crashed into Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki instinctively raised his arms to block the Greatsword Samehada.

But the barbs on the Greatsword Samehada easily tore through his sleeve, and blood flowed out.

Naruto felt the pain, but he ignored it completely and simply raised his leg and kicked out.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha was focused on maintaining the Thunder God Sword and was completely unprepared for this kick.

He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and staggered backward.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naruto Uzumaki formed hand seals.

Sasuke Uchiha realized something was wrong.

He doesn't have as much chakra as Naruto Uzumaki. If the battle were to repeat itself, he would definitely not be able to suppress so many shadow clones.

We can't delay any longer!

Uchiha Sasuke stopped and plunged the Thunder God Sword into the ground.

Brilliant lightning burst forth from the blade of Thor's Sword, spreading outwards.

Many of Naruto's shadow clones were electrocuted as soon as they appeared.

Lightning Release: Twin Thousand Birds!
Once all the nearby shadow clones were paralyzed, Uchiha Sasuke immediately formed hand seals.

A piercing bird call appeared.

Uchiha Sasuke's hands crackled with dazzling lightning, as bright as the sun in the night.

He flashed towards Naruto Uzumaki.

This was his final blow!
If you can't win, it's hard to have another chance.

"A passionate youth, this is our Rasengan!"

Naruto Uzumaki and his shadow clones rang out with passionate voices.

Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a scene that left him speechless.

A group of Rasengans appeared in front of him.

"...?"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly stopped.

No, how am I supposed to fight like this?
"The Rasengan can be used like this?" Shiki Aburame's eyes widened as she asked instinctively.

He was very familiar with the Rasengan.

Because when Minato Namikaze was still alive, they often did missions together.

But this was the first time he had ever seen the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique combined with the Rasengan.

Fugaku Uchiha, who had remained calm until now, showed a surprised expression.

This scene is simply too exaggerated.

He had never seen a scene like this before, with twenty or thirty Rasengans surrounding Uchiha Sasuke.

"He has more chakra than we do."

Choza Akimichi felt both amused and exasperated.

A ninja's chakra level is a combination of innate chakra and chakra developed through training.

As Jonin, their chakra reserves have, without exaggeration, reached their limit.

However, the maximum chakra of a Jonin is less than that of an eight-year-old child.

Even if Naruto Uzumaki had been training his chakra since birth, he shouldn't have this much.

The only explanation is that it's innate.

In a sense, this is even more despairing.

“His talent is also greater than ours.”

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said, "At least we couldn't have learned two A-rank ninjutsu when we were seven or eight years old."

"The Fourth Hokage once struck fear into the hearts of his enemies with his Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan."

Aburame Shiki sighed, "When Naruto grows up, he'll probably achieve the same effect, although he'll rely on having more chakra."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly.

In retrospect, Naruto Uzumaki is Sasuke Uchiha's biggest rival to become Hokage.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga are both significantly inferior.

In addition, Naruto Uzumaki's father was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, whose influence remained even after his death.

Hiashi Hyuga was also thinking about this issue.

There are just too many geniuses in this generation.

In previous years, given Hinata and Neji's talent, coupled with Kitazawa's connections, they would have had a very high chance of becoming Hokage.

But there were two more people, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who were even more talented than them.

Did you teach me how to use this Rasengan?

Tsunade looked at Kitazawa and asked.

"No."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "I guess it was the Third Hokage who taught him."

"An old man? Well, he is, after all, a professor of ninjutsu."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said with a sigh, "However, only Naruto can use this Rasengan."

A skilled ninja will develop their own ninjutsu system, combining various techniques to achieve the best results.

There's no need for someone like Naruto to use twenty or thirty Rasengans at once.

Although powerful, it is easy to dodge.

If it doesn't work, it will waste a lot of chakra, making the subsequent battle very difficult.

Unless they possess a massive amount of chakra like Naruto Uzumaki.

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki also used two thousand Rasengans at once.

"The victor is Naruto Uzumaki!"

Iruka Umino broke the awkward silence on the field.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha silently withdrew his Lightning Release: Twin Chidori.

What could he do? He was desperate too.

You can't just charge at twenty or thirty Rasengans with two Chidori, can you?

Kitazawa stood up and walked to the center of the field.

He glanced at Uchiha Sasuke and said, "The sparring is over. You can go down now and wait for the rankings to be announced."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he had Naruto Uzumaki extend his arms.

He was injured by the barbs of the greatsword Samehada, and there was a lot of blood on his arms.

But Kitazawa discovered that the bloodstains were actually congealed scabs.

In other words, if Naruto Uzumaki doesn't get treatment soon, his wounds will heal on their own in no time.

Kitazawa couldn't help but retort that Kitazawa's cheat code was truly outrageous.

It must have been tough for Sasuke Uchiha to fight Naruto Uzumaki to a standstill.

A pale green light emerged.

Under Kitazawa's Healing Palm Technique, Naruto's arms were fully restored in less than half a minute.

"Sasuke, is there anything else?"

Kitazawa noticed that Uchiha Sasuke was still standing in the same spot and had not left.

"Teacher Kitazawa, I want to challenge Yakumo."

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath and said.

Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama were the opponents he chose to challenge after he awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Although he lost the first battle by a single move to Naruto Uzumaki's outrageous chakra, Sasuke Uchiha wanted to win back in the second battle.

In this way, even with one win and one loss, the Uchiha clan's reputation has still been preserved.

"You've just finished a match, why don't you rest first, and spar with Yakumo another time when you have time?"

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then offered his advice.

"I am not tired."

Sasuke Uchiha refused to speak.

In his view, the sparring with Yakumo Kurama would definitely be a contest of illusion techniques, and physical fatigue was nothing.

"Yakumo".

Kitazawa had no choice but to grant his request.

He turned around and waved to Kurama Yakumo.

Kurama Yakumo immediately walked up to him.

"Sasuke wants to challenge you, what are your thoughts?"

Kitazawa looked at her and asked.

"I promise."

Kurama Yakumo nodded and said.

"Well."

Kitazawa stepped aside and shouted, "The twentieth sparring match: Uchiha Sasuke versus Kurama Yakumo!"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed.

Confused!
Why didn't you ask me before challenging her?
But he didn't expect that Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu was actually at the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Furthermore, since they were sitting in the audience, they couldn't communicate with Uchiha Sasuke in time.

Itachi Uchiha seemed to be deep in thought.

how to say?

Sasuke Uchiha definitely couldn't win.

He was well aware of the difference between the three-tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, this opportunity can be used to let Sasuke Uchiha know about the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan, so that he won't become arrogant and conceited after opening the three-tomoe Sharingan.

The battle begins, the battle ends.

Kitazawa shook his head as he looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was trapped in a terrifying illusion.

He had already tried to persuade him, but given Sasuke Uchiha's personality, he wouldn't give up without personally fighting him.

Time passes slowly.

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly woke up.

He plopped down on the ground, staring at Yakumo Kurama, panting heavily, an expression of disbelief on his face.

How could this be?
Why is the three-tomoe Sharingan still powerless against her genjutsu?

"The victor is Kurama Yakumo!"

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "The final exams for the genius class are now over. The rankings will be announced in ten minutes."

After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and helped Uchiha Sasuke up.

"If you want to know the reason, go find your brother after the rankings are announced."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then reminded him.

Uchiha Sasuke was taken aback.

Does my brother know the reason?
He instinctively looked at Itachi Uchiha.

However, since the audience hadn't left yet, he couldn't very well run over and ask them.

Sasuke Uchiha silently left the field.

Kitazawa withdrew his gaze and found Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi to discuss the rankings for this practical exam.

The members of the genius class also comforted Uchiha Sasuke.

"I am fine."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said.

He was actually used to losing to Kurama Yakumo and Uzumaki Naruto.

This time, the three-tomoe Sharingan gave him too much hope, making him think he could beat them, but the result was similar to before.

Yakumo Kurama didn't know how to win, but he felt that Naruto Uzumaki was just a little short.

He lost this time because he didn't expect that group of Rasengan.

Now that we know the information, we might be able to beat him next time.

Seeing this, the students in the gifted class were relieved.

"Your strength has improved too quickly; we simply can't keep up."

Kiba Inuzuka suddenly sighed and said.

He was practically saying that his discomfort was greater than Sasuke Uchiha's.

"Try to think more positively."

Nara Shikamaru patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to compare yourself to these geniuses."

"fine!"

With her hands on her hips, Yamanaka Ino said, "So what if you're a genius? Who knows who will be number one next time!"

"good."

Tian Tian understood her unspoken meaning and said, "This kind of sparring definitely won't happen every month. Next time, we should probably do a mission."

"Let's burn our youth for first place next time!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said excitedly.

"Even when it comes to missions, Sasuke-kun will still come in first!"

Sakura Haruno said without hesitation.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at her subconsciously.

Did she say anything similar during his sparring sessions with Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama?

Ten minutes later, Kitazawa walked onto the field with the score sheet in his hand.

Everyone, from the gifted students to the audience on both sides, stopped chatting and looked at him.

"I'll announce the rankings for this practical exam first."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then added, "The rankings are mainly based on your performance, and secondly on the outcome of your sparring matches."

Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, and the others became tense.

Although they had a rough idea of ​​the rankings, guesses are just guesses, and only hearing it with their own ears could confirm it.

"First place, Kurama Yakumo."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Kurama Yakumo fought two matches.

One match was against Inuzuka Jaws, and the other was against Uchiha Sasuke.

Both matches were won in seconds, so winning first place is well-deserved.

"Second place, Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa read aloud together, "Third place, Uchiha Sasuke."

There was little controversy about the top three, and everyone in the gifted class accepted it without question.

This includes Uchiha Sasuke.

He lost to Yakumo Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki in succession, ranking third, and he had nothing to say about it.

By the time we got to fourth place, there was a lot of suspense.

Neji Hyuga and Shino Aburame were both Jonin who were defeated.

Hinata Hyuga's opponent, though a Special Jonin, was roughly at the Jonin level after activating the Earth Curse Seal.

Kaguya Kimimaro's opponent was also a Jonin, but he ultimately failed to win.

"Fourth place, Aburame Shino."

Kitazawa announced.

Upon hearing this, Shino Aburame's face showed surprise.

The other students were also somewhat surprised.

After all, in the previous practical exams, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata ranked higher than Aburame Shino.

"In terms of performance alone, Shino is definitely better than me."

Hyuga Neji thought for a moment and then said.

Shino Aburame's opponent is Tetsuka Uchiha, and their battle is full of wits and courage.

He and Hinata Hyuga mainly relied on the Feather Bow and the Moon Chaser Bow, and their performance was inferior to that of Shino Aburame.

"Fifth place, Hyuga Neji."

Kitazawa continued, "Sixth place, Hinata Hyuga."

Their performances were actually quite similar.

However, Hinata Hyuga's Moon Chasing Bow has an additional ability to sense emotions, making it more difficult for Neji Hyuga to fight.

"Seventh place, Kaguya Kimimaro."

Kitazawa glanced at the report card and said.

Although Kaguya Kimimaro lost, he performed quite well against the Jonin.

In terms of academic ability, he is also better than other students in the gifted class.

From eighth place onwards, the gap in strength is not as large.

Kaguya Kimimaro clenched her fists involuntarily.

His ranking in the gifted class had previously been around fourth or fifth.

Now that they've fallen to seventh place, it's certainly a dangerous sign.

Moreover, his seventh place isn't exactly secure.

"Eighth place, Tenten. Ninth place, Yamanaka Ino. Tenth place, Nara Shikamaru. Eleventh place, Haruno Sakura."

Kitazawa slowly read out, "Twelfth place, Hana Inuzuka. Thirteenth place, Kiba Inuzuka. Fourteenth place, Jugo."

"I'm only eighth place?"

Every day, her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.

"I think it's related to your use of the Shuzaki giant lizard."

Nara Shikamaru guessed.

Because of the giant lizard from Shuzaki, Tenten almost completely overwhelmed it.

As for his ranking, he felt that being ranked tenth among a group of freaks was already quite good, and he had no complaints.

"Great!"

Ino Yamanaka said smugly, "Sakura, I'm taller than you again!"

"My ranking in the theory exam will definitely be higher than yours!"

Sakura Haruno immediately retorted, "At most, we're even!"

"The rankings have dropped again."

Kiba Inuzuka said with a pained expression.

"...?"

Tayuya's eyes widened, and she instinctively took a step back.

Why didn't I hear my name called? I didn't even make the top fourteen?
She suddenly felt dizzy, after all, she used to be ranked tenth.

"Fifteenth place: Tayuya. Sixteenth place: Rock Lee. Seventeenth place: Choji Akimichi. Eighteenth place: Shiro."

Kitazawa finished reading the last four names.

Tayuya subconsciously gritted her teeth.

She really couldn't accept dropping to fifteenth place, but she couldn't argue with it either.

Those ahead of her in line are definitely no worse than her.

Time passes slowly.

Kitazawa read out both the theoretical exam rankings and the final rankings.

This time, the scale of the practical exam was so large that the rankings in the theoretical exam and the final rankings became secondary.

"The final exams for the gifted class this semester have come to a perfect end. Thank you for watching."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he turned to the gifted class and said, "You can go back with your parents now. See you next semester."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha immediately went to find Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha.

Hyuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, Inuzuka Kiba, and others also left.

"Tsunade, are you, as Hokage, satisfied with the performance of us students?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed Tsunade approaching, he asked with a smile.

"If I'm not satisfied, wouldn't that be making a fuss over nothing?"

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "Old man, it seems you've gotten used to being a ninja academy teacher by now."

"It's quite good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "I regret not retiring sooner."

"..."

Tsunade's lips twitched, sensing that he was implying something.

"Fortunately, Kitazawa invited me to be a teacher in the genius class."

Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled. "Otherwise, my life wouldn't be as interesting as it is now."

"Indeed."

Chen Baojun agreed.

Through the gifted program, he rediscovered the meaning of life and would never fake his death again.

I didn't have as many feelings about the sunset.

After all, she is still young.

Her only feeling was that the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach.

Students these days are getting more and more bizarre, and she must be under immense pressure as a teacher.

She wasn't confident she could defeat people like Yakumo Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki.

[Current Mission: Achieve ten victories against official ninjas in the final exams.]

[Mission Reward: Compound Ninja Art - Gentle Step Twin Lion Rasengan.]

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

After receiving the information from the system, Kitazawa walked over to Tsunade's side.

"Will the sparring matches between the genius class and the regular ninjas be held regularly every month from now on?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him and asked.

"No."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "My plan is to do it once or twice a year."

Formal ninjas are quite busy, especially Special Jonin and Jonin.

Coming every month would interfere with their work and tasks.

The same applies to students in gifted programs.

For them, the most effective method is still to complete missions, and it is easier to make progress under the pressure of the enemy.

As for boosting fame, one or two times is enough; doing it too many times will actually reduce its effectiveness.

After all, the first time is always the most amazing.

"Once or twice is indeed more appropriate."

Maruhoshi Kosuke agreed.

"Let's go, we should head back now. We'll come back tomorrow."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and then said with a smile.

The holiday starts tomorrow, but many students will continue training at the Ninja Academy.

He has nothing to do after retiring, so he has more free time and can come over to give them guidance.

"I'm going back to the Hokage's office."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned and left.

Kitazawa suspected she was trying to renege on her debt, but he wasn't in a hurry.

He and Kurenai went home and had lunch together before he slowly walked toward the Hokage Building.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa pushed open the door, walked in, and asked directly, "Do you remember the bet we made this morning?"

"what do you want?"

Tsunade looked up and met his gaze, and a feeling of unease stirred within her.

His gaze was filled with intense heat.

She could guess what he wanted to do without asking.

Kitazawa didn't answer, but walked up to her.

He slowly bent down, his eyes observing her rosy lips.

Tsunade, under his gaze, subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, her pink tongue flashing briefly.

Kitazawa kissed him without hesitation.

Tsunade had already sensed something was wrong and wasn't surprised.

She closed her eyes and made a slightly cloying nasal sound.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes again, her pupils dilating violently.

The previous kisses were all brief and fleeting, but this time it was different; it turned into a deep kiss.

The Hokage's office fell silent.

Aside from the heated debate, all that remained were subtle sounds.
