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

Chapter 80 Neji Hyuga's Defeat (Second Update)
The terrifying flames burned for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

"so big!"

Sakura Haruno snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "You're amazing! Sasuke-kun!"

Following her lead, the students in Class A of Grade 1 also cheered.

Because they all knew very well that such a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique was enough to end the game.

The gap is so large that there is no doubt about it.

Class A of Grade 2 also understood this principle and fell silent.

"This is a formidable opponent."

Hyuga Neji's expression hardened slightly as he spoke.

He had already considered Uchiha Sasuke as a sparring partner, so he felt that this was a tough situation.

Faced with such a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, he had no choice but to dodge.

"What an exhilarating youth!"

Rock Lee clenched his fist and said.

"..."

Tenten quietly took a step toward Neji.

It's unclear when, but Rock Lee seems to have become addicted to talking about youth every day.

"How can this be?"

Shuimu's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had only ever seen such a large fireball in the hands of a Jonin.

Damn!

Another despicable genius!
Shuimu was insanely jealous.

"Another unparalleled genius."

Nara Shikaku said incredulously, "He's only six years old, yet his strength already surpasses that of many genin."

The reason why the Ino-Shika-Cho clan and the Butterfly clan united was because a single ninja clan was relatively weak.

But the Uchiha clan is different; geniuses and strong individuals emerge one after another, making them the envy of many.

"Whether it's chakra, chakra control, or mastery of chakra transformations, it's all astonishing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi commented, "His future achievements will not be much less than Itachi Uchiha's."

Nara Shikaku was slightly taken aback.

Because he remembered Hiruzen Sarutobi's evaluation of Itachi Uchiha.

It is said that he was able to think from the perspective of the Hokage when he was only seven years old.

Could it be that a Hokage will emerge from the Uchiha clan?
But he quickly put that idea out of his mind.

Nara Shikaku was well aware of the attitude of the Konoha Village leadership towards the Uchiha clan.

He was being courted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and suppressed by Danzo Shimura.

His impression was that while maintaining stability in Konoha, the goal was to prevent the Uchiha clan from becoming too powerful.

Uchiha Sasuke received hero treatment.

"Sasuke, well done!"

Kiba Inuzuka said admiringly.

Although he didn't usually like Sasuke Uchiha's personality, this fireball was truly something else.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly.

He was trying his best to maintain his cool demeanor, that is, to act cool.

The only pity is that his father and brother didn't come and couldn't witness his glorious moment.

"Sasuke, you truly are my nemesis!"

Naruto Uzumaki rushed over and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Naruto, let him go!"

Upon seeing this, Sakura Haruno immediately exclaimed anxiously.

She hadn't even touched Sasuke Uchiha, so how did Naruto Uzumaki get the upper hand first?

There are cows!
"..."

Uchiha Sasuke wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

Because he wasn't as strong as Naruto Uzumaki.

His expression was noticed by everyone in Class A of the first year.

For a moment, a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke suffer a setback is undoubtedly a delightful experience.

"It's a really nice atmosphere."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely pleased to see this joyful scene.

This is exactly what he wanted to see!

The future of Konoha Village looks promising and thriving.

"Quiet."

Kitazawa noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was walking towards them, so he quickly spoke up.

"Everyone did a great job."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, facing everyone's gaze, announced, "But Class A of the first year is superior."

"Great!"

Naruto and the others shouted excitedly.

"It's just the first competition event."

Shui Mu took a deep breath and said, "As long as you win the remaining events, our class will still win in the end!"

Upon hearing this, the morale of Class A in Grade 2 immediately recovered considerably.

"Great, they all have a lot of energy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Ten-minute break, then we'll begin the second event."

During their break, the two ANBU ninjas helped create the venue.

The second competition was a contest of chakra control.

Therefore, Kitazawa asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to send two Anbu ninjas who knew Earth Release and Water Release.

There was no need to transplant trees; the earth-style ninja created an earthen cylinder instead.

As for treading water, it's even simpler: first, earth-style ninjas build a circle of earth, and then water-style ninjas fill it with water.

After the venue was completed, Kitazawa felt a bit like the variety show "Boys and Girls Rush Forward" from his past life.

Although there are only two competitive events.

"The rules for the second competition are very simple."

After the break, Kitazawa said, "With chakra attached to both feet, the first one to reach the finish line will be the winner."

"Everyone, please stand in line at the starting line."

Iruka Umino immediately organized the students of Class 1-A.

Soon, all the students from both classes were standing at the starting line.

Before them was a huge pool, beyond which stood a column resembling a tree trunk.

Climb to the top of the cylinder and jump down to reach the finish line of the race.

"Neji will definitely be number one this time!"

He said, trying to cheer himself up every day.

"Ah."

Neji Hyuga nodded calmly.

Because he didn't think that what Tian Tian said was wrong.

The Hyuga clan places great emphasis on chakra control, whether it's the Byakugan or the Gentle Fist. After all, without exceptional chakra control, it's difficult to incapacitate an enemy through pressure point techniques.

"It's up to you, Neji."

Shuimu patted him on the shoulder and said.

Losing one game is fine, but losing two games in a row, especially in front of the Hokage, would be extremely embarrassing.

"Sakura, let's have a race to see who gets to the finish line first."

Yamanaka Ino said, while doing warm-up exercises.

"Okay."

Sakura Haruno smiled and said, "Whoever loses gets double the homework tonight."

"..."

Naruto, who was about to speak, changed his expression drastically upon hearing that the homework had been doubled, and gave up on joining in the fun.

Because of Kitazawa's special training, he now has a great aversion to doing problems.

"Naruto!"

Rock Lee gave a thumbs-up and said, "Let's have a youthful showdown!"

"no problem!"

Naruto Uzumaki responded by flashing his teeth, "In the name of youth!"

"Prepare!"

Kitazawa interrupted their conversation, saying, "Three! Two! One! Go!"

A group of people stepped onto the water.

Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee exchanged a glance, then set off together.

But after walking a few steps, they heard a thud.

Rock Lee fell into the water.

"Little Li?"

Naruto Uzumaki was momentarily stunned.

"This is the best I can do!"

Rock Lee shouted, "Naruto, carry on with my youth!"

"Little Li!"

Naruto Uzumaki cried out, his eyes filled with tears and his body trembling.

"Come on!"

Rock Lee gave a thumbs up and said.

"youth!"

Naruto wiped away a tear and continued forward.

However, his chakra control was not very good, and he fell into the water after walking for a short while.

This is all thanks to Kitazawa.

Otherwise, he would be similar to Rock Lee, completely incapable of controlling chakra.

"I'm starting to regret it, Shikaku."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said.

"What do you regret?"

Nara Shikaku suppressed a laugh and asked.

Fortunately, he had received professional training and didn't laugh out loud in front of the Hokage.

"I should have stopped Naruto when he went to find Guy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and said, "But it's too late now. Naruto has already been influenced by Guy."

“Naruto like this is no bad thing for Konoha Village.”

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and then said.

"That's true, but I always feel like Minato and Kushina will blame me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said.

Not far away, Kitazawa couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Are they here to be funny?

"That's Kay's style."

Kurenai couldn't help but laugh, "It's a pity Kakashi didn't come."

Kitazawa suddenly thought of a question.

If Naruto Uzumaki becomes Kakashi Hatake's student like in the original work, then... well, I can only wish him good luck.

Faced with a student who has the same style as Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake's head would probably explode.

"The most fortunate thing is that Kai didn't come."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Indeed."

Kurenai Yuhi imagined the scene of Might Guy, Rock Lee, and Naruto Uzumaki hugging each other and crying, and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Is Neji ranked first?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said.

In less than a minute, most of the students had been eliminated, with only a small number still persisting.

The training in treading water and climbing trees was supposed to be done after they graduated, but it was done several years earlier, so naturally they performed poorly.

"As expected of a genius of the Hyuga clan."

Kurenai paused for a moment, then said with some surprise, "But your four students are pursuing us very closely."

She was referring to Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Because Hyuga Neji was so famous, their relentless pursuit surprised many people.

"Damn it! Am I under an illusion?"

Shuimu thought it was outrageous.

How could there be four geniuses like Hyuga Neji in Class 1-A?
No, not possible!

Mizuki believed that Neji Hyuga would ultimately be the victor.

A few minutes later, the five people entered the second activity, which was climbing a cylinder.

Hyuga Neji glanced around and frowned.

He hadn't expected that four people would catch up with him, including Hinata Hyuga.

Hyuga Neji gritted his teeth and suddenly accelerated.

This change made it impossible for Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha to keep up.

Only Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka remained stubbornly behind.

After climbing more than halfway up the mountain, Yamanaka Ino slowed down.

At the same time, Hyuga Neji also felt physically and mentally exhausted, and his speed slowed down without him realizing it.

In the instant he relaxed his guard, Sakura Haruno leaped up and reached the top first.

"what?"

Neji Hyuga felt a jolt, but he was powerless to stop her and could only watch helplessly as Sakura Haruno rushed toward the finish line.

He was struck dumb.

He could still find the reasons for his failure in the previous competition.

After all, Gentle Fist isn't that flashy, so it's normal for it to lose to Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

But in this contest of chakra control, he has suffered a truly crushing defeat.
