Chapter 115

Ino Yamanaka's face showed anticipation, "Can Itachi train me?"

"Yes."

Kitazawa didn't think much and agreed, "Itachi'll train with Hinata."

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa."

Ino Yamanaka turned to look at Hinata Hyuga, reached out her hand, and said, "Please take care of me."

"O... okay."

Hinata Hyuga wasn't used to Ino Yamanaka's enthusiasm, but she still shook her hand.

"Let's go."

Kitazawa took them to the school's artificial lake.

Hinata Hyuga could train anywhere as long as there were trees nearby.

Ino Yamanaka's water-walking training wouldn't work there; it had to be at the artificial lake.

"Ino."

Kitazawa waved his hand, and two leaves flew out, "I will use leaves to interfere."

Seeing this, Ino Yamanaka's gaze tightened.

Judging by the speed and force, Kitazawa's leaves were far superior to Sakura Haruno's wooden kunai.

If they hit her, it definitely wouldn't feel good.

But in order to make Sakura Haruno do more homework, she was willing to go all out.

Ino Yamanaka gathered chakra in her feet and stepped onto the water surface.

"Hinata, get ready."

Kitazawa gave a reminder and then stretched out his hands.

Chakra surged out, and a number of leaves were drawn to both his left and right sides.

As his mind moved, the leaves flew out.

Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga immediately became flustered.

Half an hour later, the two couldn't take the high-intensity training anymore and sat on the ground to rest.

"Hinata, Itachi're really amazing."

Ino Yamanaka caught her breath and said with admiration.

"Ah?"

Hinata Hyuga was suddenly praised and seemed a bit confused.

"To be able to persist for so long in this kind of training, I'm not as good as Itachi."

Ino Yamanaka waved her hand and explained.

Hinata Hyuga was stunned; for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Under Hiashi Hyuga's high-pressure education, she had had no self-confidence since she was a child.

After meeting Kitazawa, she gradually regained her confidence.

Now with Ino Yamanaka's praise, she finally discovered that she wasn't as useless as she thought.

"Thank Itachi."

Hinata Hyuga said earnestly.

"Itachi're a bit strange."

Ino Yamanaka smiled and asked, "Why are Itachi suddenly thanking me?"

"I..."

Hinata Hyuga subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.

"What do Itachi want to eat for lunch? My treat."

Kitazawa received her look for help and asked with a smile.

"I want to eat barbecue!"

Ino Yamanaka straightened up, rubbed her little belly, and said, "I've consumed so much today, I have to make up for it!"

"Anything is fine for me."

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief and said.

After resting for a while, the two continued their training.

At noon, Kitazawa took them to the barbecue restaurant.

Because Hinata Hyuga had already confessed the secret of her appetite to Hiashi Hyuga, she didn't hide it anymore.

"Itachi... Itachi..."

Ino Yamanaka was dumbfounded.

The mountain of barbecue disappeared into Hinata Hyuga's stomach, giving her the feeling that her worldview had been shattered.

"I... I've been able to eat a lot since I was a child."

Hinata Hyuga felt embarrassed and a little uneasy at the same time.

She was worried that Ino Yamanaka would distance herself because she could eat so much.

"That's... so enviable!"

Ino Yamanaka came back to her senses and said with emotion.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga looked at her in confusion, not understanding what there was to envy.

"Eating like crazy without getting fat, this is simply a skill every girl wishes to have!"

Ino Yamanaka explained.

"Is that so?"

Hinata Hyuga tilted her head, a bit dazed.

Teacher Kitazawa was right; being able to eat was indeed a blessing.

Her perspective completely shifted at this moment.

After school, Kitazawa went to the school's conference room.

It was another meeting about the monthly exam, with content similar to the last one: having the teachers write the questions.

Kitazawa didn't pay much attention to the May monthly exam.

The only thing he cared about was Naruto Uzumaki's performance and whether he could make it into the top ten of the class.

"Kitazawa."

After the meeting, Mizuki approached him and reminded him, "Don't forget about the friendly match between our two classes."

"Naturally, I won't forget."

Kitazawa nodded slightly and said.

"That's good."

Mizuki smiled and said, "I was afraid Itachi wouldn't compete."

"I'm also afraid Itachi'll welch on the bet if Itachi lose."

Kitazawa said calmly.

"Itachi!"

Mizuki's fists tightened, "I won't welch... no, our class won't lose!"

"We'll see when the time comes."

Kitazawa glanced at him and turned to leave.

Mizuki had been blinded by hatred, caring so much about a friendly match with no benefits.

But that was fine; it worked in his favor.

Kitazawa could be certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi would attend or spy on the friendly match between their two classes.

If Naruto Uzumaki performed well, he might be able to snag some more rewards.

Wednesday.

Hokage's office.

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

"Who is so..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled and subconsciously looked up, only to see a familiar figure.

She was back, they were all back; only Tsunade dared to kick his door open so boldly, even Danzo Shimura would at most slam the door.

"Old man."

Tsunade got straight to the point and asked, "Where are Yakumo Kurama and Kitazawa? I want to see them."
