Chapter 102: Kitazawa

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile as he listened to their discussion.

In their words, Neji Hyuga had practically become a Great Demon King.

But thinking about it carefully, one couldn't blame them.

After all, Neji Hyuga’s reputation preceded him.

"I will now announce the rules for the friendly match."

Kitazawa clapped his hands, and after they quieted down, he went through all four events.

"These four events sound very familiar."

Ino Yamanaka asked in surprise: "Aren't these the special training sessions Teacher Kitazawa gave us?"

"Could it be that Teacher Kitazawa has the ability to foresee the future?"

Sakura Haruno asked with a sigh.

In her memory, the special training for Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, and the others had begun over a month ago.

At that time, the friendly match with Class 2-A certainly hadn't been set yet.

"It’s not foreseeing the future."

Shikamaru Nara thought for a moment and said, "This is most likely because Teacher Kitazawa set these events himself."

"Hahaha!"

Naruto Uzumaki put his hands on his hips and said, "I’ve got first place in the physical fitness test in the bag!"

He had a strong physique and had undergone special training with Might Guy, so he was full of confidence.

"Smug guy!"

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't stand his arrogant look and couldn't help but complain.

"I think you’re just jealous of me!"

Naruto Uzumaki said triumphantly.

"..."

Kiba Inuzuka ground his teeth.

In the physical fitness test, he really couldn't outrun Naruto Uzumaki.

This guy’s stamina was even more terrifying than the ninja dogs raised in his family; he was practically... a mad dog of the Hidden Leaf.

"We have to be careful of Neji Hyuga."

Shino Aburame adjusted his sunglasses and reminded them.

"It’s fine, Teacher Kitazawa will handle it."

Ino Yamanaka said with a smile.

"That’s right."

Hinata Hyuga agreed.

Shikamaru Nara shook his head.

You all are putting the pressure on a Chunin teacher; you really don’t know his capabilities.

He felt it would be very difficult.

However, it was just a friendly match; it wouldn't matter if they lost.

"To prepare for next month’s friendly match, I have created a training plan based on your situations."

Kitazawa said unhurriedly: "We will discuss it during the practical combat class; for now, let’s start the lesson."

Today’s first lesson was the Will of Fire.

Kitazawa was already a master at it.

Amidst laughter and joy, the class came to an end.

Kitazawa left the classroom and returned to the office.

Accompanying him were Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga.

Kitazawa didn't need to arrange anything; they proactively began their training.

Time reached the afternoon.

The last lesson for Class 1-A, which was the practical combat class.

Kitazawa announced their training plan.

Based on the results of the first monthly exam, he divided the class into two groups.

The first group, with average grades, would not participate in this friendly match; they only needed to focus on their lessons.

The second group consisted of the high-achieving students led by Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke Uchiha would continue his chakra nature transformation training.

As for chakra control training, in addition to Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi were added.

Oh, and Shino Aburame as well.

The remaining students would conduct physical training under the leadership of Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka.

As for the final practical combat, Kitazawa decided to conduct intensive special training in two weeks.

The class ended.

Shikamaru Nara sat on the ground, looking lifeless.

He never expected that he would be assigned by Kitazawa to climb trees.

This was a devastating blow to his career of slacking off.

Kitazawa noticed Shikamaru Nara, who looked like a salted fish.

He smiled and ignored him.

Shikamaru Nara had that kind of personality; if you didn't push him, he wouldn't be willing to work hard.

"Everyone worked hard today; I’ve prepared snacks for you."

Kitazawa took out a summoning storage scroll and said with a smile.

Hinata Hyuga subconsciously touched her little belly.

Hearing Kitazawa say that, she felt hungry.

"Great!"

Hearing this, Choji Akimichi was revived and stood up immediately.

"Teacher Kitazawa is the best."

Ino Yamanaka smiled and said.

Although she wasn't a glutton, she didn't resist snacks.

"Sasuke-kun, I’ll go get snacks for you!"

Sakura Haruno struggled to stand up and ran to Kitazawa.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha felt somewhat helpless.

He didn't like eating snacks.

"Sasuke-kun, this is yours!"

Sakura Haruno appeared in front of him again.

Sasuke Uchiha was just about to refuse when he suddenly noticed that there were three-colored dango in his snack bag.

This was Itachi Uchiha’s favorite, and also his own.

Sasuke Uchiha took another look at Sakura Haruno’s snacks and discovered they weren't exactly the same as his.

Did he even put this much thought into such details?

For a moment, Sasuke Uchiha felt some admiration for Kitazawa.

He took a bite of the three-colored dango and thought to himself that it was truly sweet.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Seeing that everyone had mostly left, Hinata Hyuga hurried over.

"For you."

Kitazawa took four large bags of snacks and stuffed them into her arms.

"Tha... thank you, Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga blushed, holding the snacks, and said very shyly.

"I told you before that being able to eat is a blessing."

Kitazawa patted her head and said, "No need to be polite."

"Mm."

Hinata Hyuga felt a warmth in her heart and replied softly.

"I’ll send you back."

Kitazawa took the snacks from her arms and said, "It’s hard for you to carry all this."

Hinata Hyuga felt a leap of joy in her heart and nodded quickly.

Subconsciously, she wanted to spend more time with Kitazawa.

The Hyuga clan compound.

From afar, Kitazawa saw a figure standing as straight as a pine tree, radiating an air of majesty.

"Father."

Hinata Hyuga approached quickly and bowed properly.

"Clan Leader Hiashi."

Kitazawa thought to himself, "As expected," and took the initiative to greet him.

"You are Kitazawa?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked with a calm expression.

"I am."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"Thank you for taking care of Hinata during this time."

After Hiashi Hyuga said this, he turned and walked into the courtyard.

The etiquette was spot on, but the underlying contempt was also real.

Kitazawa wasn't surprised.

Because both the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan were very arrogant, only the Hyuga clan was smarter and wouldn't show it too obviously.

"Teacher Kitazawa, see you tomorrow."
