Congrats, Sakura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino smiled graciously, her tone sincere. She had always been a good sport—and since the winner was her best friend, offering heartfelt congratulations came naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura practically floated toward Sasuke, as light and gleeful as a butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino couldn’t help but shake her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things never changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much Sakura trained or matured, the moment she saw a handsome guy—especiallythatguy—she instantly reverted to her fangirl ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was... barely acceptable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke muttered as Sakura approached him, clearly fishing for praise. For a moment, he saw a reflection of his younger self in her determination and decided to toss her a crumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura’s eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did Sasuke-kun just compliment me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars sparkled in her eyes. She looked ready to leap on him like Naruto often did—except this time with more hearts than heroism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke sensed imminent danger and quickly put distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great job, Sakura!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto and the rest of Class 1A gathered around to celebrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their class once again entered a wave of jubilation. To defeat the second-years—twice—despite being younger and less experienced, felt like something out of a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they all knew who the true architect behind their victory was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost in unison, they glanced at Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how could this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki staggered back, the blow to his pride landing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji—supposedly unbeatable—had lost again. Mizuki’s disbelief was so intense it twisted into bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So much for a prodigy. You always act so powerful, but at the crucial moment, you choke?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ino’s chakra control has reached this level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku murmured, visibly impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She might be ready to learn the Yamanaka clan’s secret Jutsu—the Mind Body Switch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning clan Jutsus inevitably brought his thoughts to his own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru had the intellect and natural talent. The problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wastoosmart to care. So lazy that his mother had to drag him to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inoichi’s got a solid heir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, agreeing. But his thoughts were elsewhere—on Sakura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Ino, Sakura didn’t come from a ninja clan. She was a civilian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a non-clan child to have such refined Chakra control at this age—it was no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Hokage, Hiruzen always had a soft spot for civilian ninjas. They didn’t just serve the village—theybelongedto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike some clan members...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especiallythe Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s simply worked harder than most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku sighed. \"Shikamaru only trains when his mom threatens him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might have a solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen’s eyes shifted toward Kitazawa. \"What if we asked him to tutor Shikamaru?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku blinked. At first, it seemed unnecessary—Kitazawa already taught his son at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he realized: the Hokage meantspecial training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kitazawa’s intense program, Ino and the others had transformed. Shikamaru hadn’t participated at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A private mentorship... might actually work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll speak to him about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku said after a thoughtful pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a father, he respected Shikamaru’s choices—but deep down, he still hoped his son could become something greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Kitazawa could spark that change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second event—Class 1A wins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen announced, his voice firm and official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the cheers from the first-years, the second-years stood in tense silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had entered the match with a year’s worth of training and confidence, aiming for a clean sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with two back-to-back losses, the mood had completely soured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The real decider is the final event—actual combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki said, attempting to rally morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve only beaten us in gimmick games.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to convince his students... and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji’s clenched fists loosened slightly. His pride still smarted, but his warrior’s heart burned stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still believed in strength above all—and losing twice was a humiliation he couldn’t tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he defeated Sasuke in the final round, then maybe... just maybe, he could salvage this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third event—Physical Endurance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa announced once the break ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s only one rule: the last one still running wins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most endurance tests involved running a set number of laps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kitazawa had changed the rules—he didn’t want speed to be the only deciding factor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worried Naruto wouldn’t be able to keep up with Neji in a sprint, so endurance would level the playing field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki, confident in Neji’s strength, hadn’t altered the rules at all—and now they were paying the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the competition wasn’t over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just run like you’re in regular training. Don’t pressure yourselves too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa reminded his class gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto grinned, brimming with confidence. \"I’ll come in first this time too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opponent is Neji—don’t get cocky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba nudged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, instead of picking a fight, he was focused. Now was the time to unite as a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why’s everyone only worried about Neji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto scratched his head. \"I think Rock Lee’s a serious threat too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had trained alongside Lee and knew firsthand how intense the boy could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In sheer effort and youthful passion, Lee matched him step for step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s Lee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock Lee,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto replied, pointing to the boy in the unmistakable green jumpsuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba blinked in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naruto!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock Lee noticed them and immediately stood to greet his rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden shout broke the tension and drew the attention of all of Second Year Class A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment of brooding silence, the appearance of two loud, energetic, and completelydifferentkids felt like someone had thrown open a window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto gave him a dramatic thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For youth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For youth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee responded with a fiery gleam in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t lose to you in this test!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two are hopeless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenten sighed, rubbing her temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji wanted to scoff—but stopped himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee challenged him often but had never won once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Naruto? He mostly played around. No real threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji’s eyes locked on Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his true rival—the top student of Class A. The one hehadto defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s voice rang out loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the students immediately dropped into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he gave the signal, they sprang forward like arrows released from a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front was Neji, leading the pack with Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa,\" Mizuki called out, striding over with a curious expression. \"Why is there a student in your class who hasn’t participated in any of the events?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was referring to Yakumo Kurama, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s not feeling well today,\" Kitazawa replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her genjutsu was formless, and her physical endurance wasn’t the best due to her condition—so she was excused from the chakra control and physical tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Mizuki muttered, shooting Yakumo a quick glance before losing interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t on his radar—she hadn’t ranked among the top ten students, which meant she wasn’t a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifty laps, more than half the students had dropped out. Fewer than ten remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front, Neji still held the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one’s in the bag!\" Mizuki said, finally letting out a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t speak too soon,\" Kurenai chimed in unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s with her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was she siding with Kitazawa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s right,\" Kitazawa said with a small smile, naturally supporting his girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai’s lips curved into a warm smile in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki suddenly felt a sting in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait a second... are they together?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You bastard!’Mizuki cursed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You actually managed to win over Kurenai Yuhi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Mizuki had a girlfriend of his own, he couldn’t help feeling envious. Kurenai was not only one of Konoha’s most beautiful kunoichi, but her Genjutsu prowess was also widely respected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she fall forhim?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neji’s going to win,\" Mizuki muttered through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Third Hokage weren’t standing nearby, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress the wave of killing intent welling up inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy... this damn Kitazawa—he’s stolen all the spotlight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai’s expression subtly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sense Mizuki’s emotions clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, envy only follows the truly outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile deepened. She had no regrets about her choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lap count hit eighty, only five students remained: Neji, Sasuke, Naruto, Lee, and Kiba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is happening?\" Mizuki muttered, his vision swimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this just like the previous event?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two students from Second Year Class A and three from First Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It defied all logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had imagined a landslide victory for his class—dominating all ten top spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had an entire year of extra training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not only were they being matched, they were beingoutperformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Mizuki question his teaching abilities. Was he really that far behind Kitazawa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe organizing this \"friendly\" match was a huge mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I can’t... go on. You guys keep going,\" Kiba finally stumbled off the track and collapsed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji wiped the sweat from his brow, his expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Naruto and Lee were still going strong. The pressure was intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lee!\" Naruto wheezed. \"What a passionate battle of youth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Youth... should burn like this!\" Lee cried, even more winded than Naruto but still determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke felt his confidence slipping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was with these monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another lap, his body gave in. He dropped out without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji, too, was nearing his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Burn, youth! HAA!\" Naruto let out a yell and exploded forward, accelerating out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sight full of youth!\" Lee stopped in his tracks, eyes brimming with tears. \"I’ve got nothing left to give!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he dropped out, snot and tears running freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji felt dread settle over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatisthis guy made of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Naruto still have this much stamina?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth and tried to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Naruto turned his head mid-sprint, flashed him a thumbs up, and pushed even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lungs were on fire.
