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

Chapter 97 Shadow Imitation Technique (First and Second Updates)

Kitazawa's teaching style remained unchanged.

He followed the example of Class A in the first grade and divided the students in Class A in the second grade into three groups based on the results of their recent competition.

The first group of students were taught the art of creating clones.

The second group of students were taught the magic of transformation.

The third batch of students had already mastered the techniques of creating clones and transforming, so they were free to move around.

The first two batches of students made up the vast majority, while the third batch consisted of only four students.

Among them are Hyuga Neji and Tenten.

Kitazawa created two shadow clones to teach the first two batches of students, while he himself stood still and observed Hyuga Neji in the distance.

In terms of basic Gentle Fist, his proficiency is much higher than Hinata Hyuga's.

Kitazawa stroked his chin.

He hasn't secretly learned the Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms yet.

While it's said to be learning by stealing, Kitazawa is more inclined to believe it was Hyuga Hiashi's permission.

After all, given his strength, it's impossible that he didn't notice Hyuga Neji secretly learning the techniques.

However, Hyuga Neji's successful mastery of Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms certainly exceeded his expectations.

Otherwise, the original work wouldn't have been so surprising.

Just then, Kitazawa raised an eyebrow slightly, because Hyuga Neji had changed his move to the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, which he was very familiar with.

He squinted and began to observe.

It was probably because Hyuga Neji thought that no one in the ninja academy knew Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, so he didn't hold back.

Of course, Kitazawa felt that it was his two words that had just spurred him on, making him train even harder.

He had always been stronger than Hinata Hyuga since childhood, so he naturally wouldn't accept losing to her.

Furthermore, their conflict involves the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan.

how to say?

Hyuga Neji was indeed a genius, but he was too young, and without anyone to teach him step by step, he was only proficient in the first six moves.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Kitazawa now feels that Hinata Hyuga has a much better chance of winning.

The prerequisite is that she can master more Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms than Hyuga Neji before the start of the second semester.

However, to be more certain, we need to increase our practical experience.

Kitazawa plans to give her special training during the summer vacation.

After watching for a while, he looked away and walked to a corner of the playground.

Kitazawa has already learned about Hyuga Neji's strength; the next step is to understand what the effect of increasing the Byakugan purity by 10% is.

He glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then immediately turned his eyes away.

Kitazawa let out a soft "hmm".

His first impression was that the clarity had improved significantly.

Although it didn't increase by much, it's estimated to be only 10%.

The second thing that has increased is pupil power.

Using eye-type bloodline limits will consume pupil power.

There's a saying among the Uchiha clan: the contest of Sharingan is a contest of eye power.

This becomes even more pronounced at the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, excessive consumption of pupil power can also lead to decreased vision or even blindness.

Kitazawa felt it; the increase in his pupil power was also around 10%.

He nodded in satisfaction and looked into the distance.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, and the distance he could see was not increased by 10%, but doubled.

This is very good.

When conducting reconnaissance, the farther you can see, the greater your advantage.

Kitazawa turned off his white eyes and returned to the playground.

He casually picked up a medical book and started reading.

Since he has shadow clones to attend classes, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for get out of class to end.

"See you tomorrow."

Kitazawa dispelled his shadow clones, waved his sleeves, and left gracefully, without taking a single cloud with him.

"There really are teachers who don't go overtime?"

"I feel that Kitazawa-sensei's clone technique and transformation technique are more thorough and simpler than Mizuki-sensei's!"

"I feel the same way. I learned as much in one class today as I have in a whole week!"

"No wonder Class A of the first year is so strong!"

There is no harm without comparison.

Although it was only one class, the students in Class 2A had already wholeheartedly accepted Kitazawa.

"Neji, shall we go back to the classroom together?"

Tenten found Hyuga Neji, who was still practicing his boxing.

"You go back first."

Hyuga Neji didn't even look at her and said, "I still need to practice my boxing."

"Truly my nemesis!"

Rock Lee clenched his fist and shouted, "This is youth! I'll add another 300 laps to my run after school today!"

"..."

He hesitated to speak every day.

While Neji Hyuga had worked hard, he also knew how to relax and unwind.

How did he become the second Rock Lee?
Kitazawa neither left the ninja academy nor returned to his office.

Because he still had to go to Class A of the first year to teach his last class, which was a practical class.

During the break after class, Kitazawa went to the school's artificial lake to watch everyone's training.

Nara Shikamaru is making rapid progress.

This is thanks to his hard work during this period.

Kitazawa estimates that he will be able to complete his water-walking training this week, and then learn his clan's secret techniques like Yamanaka Ino.

In fact, Nara Shikamaru has already begun to learn the Shadow Imitation Technique from Nara Shikaku.

He planned to surprise Kitazawa during actual combat training after he learned it.

Although Kitazawa didn't know, he wouldn't care even if he did, since the difference in strength couldn't be bridged by a single ninjutsu.

"Ino."

Kitazawa walked up to Yamanaka Ino.

After observing for some time, he has gained some understanding of the Mind Transfer Technique.

The secret technique of the mountain clan belongs to Yin Escape.

Kitazawa possesses the Yin attribute and has also learned illusion magic, so he can say a few words.

Even without his guidance, Yamanaka Ino could have learned the art of mind-turning.

But the reason he insisted on giving some pointers was to feel involved, so that he could be sure he would complete his task.

The class bell rang.

Kitazawa arrived at the playground and looked at the students in Class A of the first grade. He thought of a question.

Could we let them attend classes with the second-grade A class?
If possible, he could save a class period.

Kitazawa thought about it carefully and found that there really was no problem.

The reason is that the school's ninjutsu class only teaches the Three Body Techniques.

Although the two classes are at different paces, Kitazawa can adopt a method of teaching in batches.

"Today's lesson will still focus on Konoha Fluid Techniques."

Kitazawa plans to have them take practical lessons together after the monthly exams this month.

It's Wednesday now.

Kitazawa has already compiled the theoretical exam papers for the June monthly exams of each grade.

Meanwhile, he scheduled the monthly exam for Thursday.

The theory exam is on Thursday, the practical exam is on Friday, and Saturday and Sunday are holidays.

"I really have a conscience."

Kitazawa couldn't help but sigh.

He could have easily scheduled the two-day monthly exam for Saturday and Sunday, which would have avoided interfering with his class time.

But the students are having a tough time; weekends have turned into exams, and they have to attend classes for two weeks straight.

Kitazawa hated weekend classes and work the most in his past life.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Kitazawa looked up at the gate.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Iruka Umino pushed open the door and came in.

"Iruka, there's something I need you to do."

Kitazawa looked at him and spoke.

Iruka Umino looked more haggard than before and appeared listless.

The reason, of course, is the death of Mizuki.

Since Shui Mu had no parents, the responsibility of organizing his funeral fell to his girlfriend, Chun.

Iruka Umino is a very kind person, and since Mizuki was his former friend, he offered to help.

He was attending classes while also preparing for the funeral, which explained his exhaustion. Kitazawa suddenly remembered something.

In the original work, there is no mention of Iruka Umino having a girlfriend or wife, so he is most likely still single.

Chun had just lost her boyfriend and was in a vulnerable state.

Kitazawa put away his chaotic thoughts.

He never interferes in other people's feelings.

Kurenai Yuhi wasn't Asuma Sarutobi's girlfriend yet, so it wasn't considered interference.

"This is the schedule for this month's monthly exams."

Kitazawa handed him a notification slip and said, "Please go to the offices of each grade and notify them."

"Yes, Kitazawa-senpai."

Without hesitation, Umino Iruka agreed.

"Iruka."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Take care and get some rest."

"Thank you for your concern, Kitazawa-senpai."

Umino Iruka felt a warmth in his heart and said.

Although Kitazawa killed Mizuki, it was Mizuki who was in the wrong first.

Therefore, Iruka Umino had no complaints about Kitazawa.

Kitazawa picked up the exam paper and headed to the office of Vice Principal Sarutobi Hisao.

Now that the exam papers are completed, the second step is printing.

In addition, the theory exam is tomorrow, so time is tight.

However, Kitazawa doesn't need to worry about what happens next; that's Sarutobi Hisao's job.

[Current Task: Help Nara Shikamaru establish the foundation for learning ninja clan secret techniques.]

[Quest Reward: Shadow Imitation Technique]

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

Kitazawa, who had just come out of the vice principal's office, stopped in his tracks.

Has Nara Shikamaru finished his water-treading training?
Indeed, pressure is a motivator.

Because of Kitazawa's ninjutsu harassment, coupled with occasional real combat training, Nara Shikamaru pushed himself to his limits.

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

Like the Shadow Imitation Technique, the Mind Transfer Technique is an application of Yin Escape.

Kitazawa suppressed his desire to try it and went to the school's artificial lake.

Nara Shikamaru is still practicing treading water.

"Shikamaru."

Kitazawa dispelled his shadow clones and shouted.

"Kita... Kitazawa-sensei."

Nara Shikamaru, catching his breath, asked, "Is something the matter?"

"Your treading water training ends here."

Kitazawa got straight to the point.

"Is it ending so early today?"

Nara Shikamaru was taken aback.

Normally he should train for a whole morning, but now it's only been an hour.

"Not today, but you will never have to do water treading training again."

Kitazawa corrected him.

"what?"

Nara Shikamaru's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked again, "Are you telling the truth?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

Kitazawa explained, "With your current chakra control, water-walking training won't improve you much."

"Great!"

Upon confirming Nara Shikamaru's identity, he was overjoyed.

He had only chuckled twice when his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he fell directly into the lake.

Overjoyed, he forgot to control the chakra in his feet.

"Help... glug... help me... glug!"

Nara Shikamaru instinctively began to struggle in the water.

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head, leaped up, and, stepping on the lake surface, pulled him out.

Nara Shikamaru used Splash Jump, like Magikarp, to be pulled out by Kitazawa.

As soon as he landed, he opened his mouth and spat out water.

Kitazawa glanced at it and thought to himself, "The secret passage is incredibly effective."

"Thank you... thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."

After a while, Nara Shikamaru got up, soaking wet.

"Do you need me to use Fire Release to dry you out?"

Kitazawa asked.

"No! No need!"

Nara Shikamaru quickly refused, saying, "My home isn't far from school. I can just go back, take a shower, and change my clothes."

"Then you should go back now, so you don't catch a cold."

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile, and didn't press him any further.

"Ok."

Nara Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Kitazawa-sensei, do I have any more training later?"

"I only agreed to be your father's tutor for one month."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

"Is that so?"

For some reason, Nara Shikamaru felt a sense of loss.

Do you think I like this kind of training? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Teacher Kitazawa, I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"

Nara Shikamaru snapped out of his daze and immediately ran away.

A few minutes later, he returned home, took a change of clothes, and went straight to the bathroom.

After a relaxing bath, Nara Shikamaru felt like he had come back to life.

He changed his clothes, lay down on the sofa, and stared blankly at the familiar ceiling.

A few minutes later, he felt uneasy all over.

Nara Shikamaru hesitated for a few seconds before sitting up.

He looked up and gazed out the window; an unidentified bird had landed on the windowsill.

Nara Shikamaru forms hand seals.

Shadow Imitation!
His shadow seemed to come alive and began to spread, along the floor to the window.

Under Nara Shikamaru's control, the shadow climbed up the wall and then grabbed the bird's shadow.

The bird immediately let out a terrified cry, but it was already unable to move.

"Did I actually succeed?"

Nara Shikamaru looked surprised.

With a thought, he severed the shadow, and the bird fled at the speed of light.

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but catch his breath a few times.

The Shadow Imitation Technique is great in every way, except that it consumes too much chakra.

On the other hand, if you have enough chakra, you can even control the Ten-Tails.

In the original work, Nara Shikamaru obtained Naruto Uzumaki's chakra, which directly rendered the Ten-Tails unable to move for a long period of time.

"You've learned the art of shadow imitation?"

Just then, a young woman wearing an apron appeared.

She is none other than Nara Yoshino, the mother of Nara Shikamaru.

"This is also the first time I've used the Shadow Imitation Technique."

Nara Shikamaru scratched his head and replied.

To be honest, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The only explanation is treading water training.

His improved chakra control enabled him to learn the Shadow Imitation Technique so quickly.

"My son is indeed a genius!"

Yoshino Nara smiled brightly and said, "Your dad didn't learn the Shadow Imitation Technique at your age."

"Teacher Kitazawa helped me a lot."

After Nara Shikamaru blurted out the words, he suddenly realized he was doomed.

Mentioning Kitazawa at this time is practically a reminder to her.

"Your father made the right choice by hiring Kitazawa as your tutor."

Yoshino Nara nodded in satisfaction.

They had all witnessed Nara Shikamaru's changes during this time.

He, who used to be lazy, is now a completely different person. He trains during the day and learns shadow imitation at night, working incredibly hard.
