Youth should burn with passion and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell in an instant that Shikamaru was deliberately half-assing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same had been true during the written exam yesterday. Shikamaru had scored exactly sixty points—no more, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he was hiding his true ability. He just genuinely found everything troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original timeline, Shikamaru wouldn’t truly change until Asuma Sarutobi sacrificed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hyuga Hinata,\" Kitazawa called, scanning the roster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata drew a deep breath, then slowly stepped into the center of the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all eyes on her, her nerves tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively lowered her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she glanced at Kitazawa—and recalled the private training he’d given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her trembling heart began to steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clone Jutsu!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata formed her hand seals and produced two flawless clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... she’s not worse than Sasuke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino stared, astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s expression tightened as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata’s clones were indeed perfect. It was now enough to pose a genuine threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly realized the reason: Kitazawa-sensei’s training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like him, Hinata had gone through the chakra-control exercises on the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s thoughts turned toward Ino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo wasn’t participating due to her health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto, meanwhile, was still struggling with his tree-climbing, his progress slow and incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So only Ino remained untested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke watched quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it was Ino’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he suspected, her Clone Jutsu was nearly perfect—slightly below his own, but impressive all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the next three exam components had nothing to do with chakra control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke exhaled softly, tension easing from his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t bear the thought of how disappointed his father and older brother would be... if he failed to claim first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did Ino get so good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji nudged Shikamaru. \"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Choji, Shikamaru was practically an external brain—the guy always knew what was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura also turned toward Shikamaru, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ino’s best friend, she knew exactly how strong Ino usually was—and this sudden leap in skill caught her completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s because of Kitazawa-sensei’s special training,\" Sasuke interjected flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Special training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura’s eyes widened. \"You mean... during those ’free activity’ times in our practical classes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ohhh, that’s right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choji slapped his forehead. \"I remember now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei really is impressive,\" Shikamaru admitted, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a civilian ninja, it was rare to be so capable and influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Choji agreed, nodding his big round face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke, Ino, Naruto, and Hinata—everyone who’d joined Kitazawa’s special training—had improved dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to go too!\" Sakura clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you’ll just have to work even harder,\" Ino said with a teasing smile as she returned to the queue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Sakura was excellent in the theoretical classes, her practical skills lagged behind. Unlike Sasuke and the other clan kids who’d been training from a young age, everything was brand new for her, making it take longer to master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Clone Jutsu exam is over. Next up: kunai throwing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa finished his grading and raised his voice for the class to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the many variations of the Clone Jutsu, kunai throwing was fairly straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as expected, Sasuke came out on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flawlessly mimicked Kitazawa’s style—not random throwing, but precise, deadly strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Terrifying...’Kitazawa thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt profoundly relieved that Sasuke hadn’t activated his Sharingan yet; otherwise, Kitazawa’s own mission might have been in jeopardy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After kunai throwing came shuriken throwing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skills required were similar, and the results were almost identical. Once again, Sasuke was the star performer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By ten o’clock, only one part of the practical exam remained: the physical fitness test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke and the others made their way over to the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rules are simple,\" Kitazawa announced. \"You’re going to run fifty laps. Rankings will be determined by the order you finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he waved over Iruka Umino, who was lingering nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-senpai!\" Iruka called out, jogging over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll be in charge of recording scores for the fitness test,\" Kitazawa said, handing him the roster and a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... you’re leaving?\" Iruka blinked. \"But the Academy’s rules say there have to be two teachers present for practical exams!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not leaving,\" Kitazawa replied, shaking his head. \"I’m running with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh?\" Iruka looked utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A sensei... joining the test?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I run alongside them, it’ll help ease their nerves,\" Kitazawa explained, smiling. \"It’ll make it feel more like a normal training session instead of an exam. That way, they’ll perform better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ohhh!\" Iruka’s eyes widened in sudden understanding. \"As expected of the Ninja Academy’s most outstanding teacher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch and learn,\" Kitazawa said, giving Iruka a friendly pat on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped onto the track. \"Start!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his signal, Sasuke and the others surged into motion, running beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physical fitness training was usually held once a week, so the students knew each other’s pace well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! I’m first again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto leapt into the air, pumping his fists, a grin splitting his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Always obsessed with being first...’Kitazawa thought, shaking his head in exasperated fondness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sasuke collapsed onto the ground, every muscle burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How the hell does that guy have so much stamina?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Sasuke reassured himself: at least Naruto only managed to claim first place in the fitness test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the other three events, Sasuke had secured first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Three first-place finishes... Can you top that, Naruto?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran the numbers in his head and finally let himself relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Victory will belong to the Uchiha.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Mission: Become the top student in the class during the April monthly exam.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission Reward: Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host has completed the mission.
