Chapter 135: The Bloodline of the Senju Clan

Itachi Uchiha's thank-Itachi gift?

Kitazawa felt a hint of subtlety.

He had always kept his distance from Itachi Uchiha because the act of killing one's own father and mother was truly terrifying.

Unless one day Kitazawa became the Hokage.

Itachi Uchiha might be terrifying, but he had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire and was a blade of the Hidden Leaf Village.

In his mind, even Sasuke Uchiha couldn't compare to the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Sasuke, thank your brother for me."

Kitazawa put away the ninjutsu scroll and said.

It would be foolish not to take it.

Besides, he wasn't getting a free ride; he had genuinely helped Sasuke Uchiha improve his strength, so it was what he deserved.

"Alright, Teacher Kitazawa."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded and said.

"Let's go, I'll take Itachi to train."

Kitazawa smiled and patted his shoulder.

With this ninjutsu scroll, he had directly "whitewashed" four Fire Style ninjutsu; it was a huge profit.

Kitazawa took Sasuke Uchiha to the Ninja Academy's training ground.

After leaving a Shadow Clone behind, he left.

Sasuke Uchiha's Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was already mostly learned, so he didn't need to watch over him.

After Kitazawa had breakfast, he let Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka go train, but this time Sakura Haruno was added.

He, however, went to the classroom, preparing to teach the first class of the day, which was the Will of Fire.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Naruto Uzumaki ran onto the podium, looking expectant, and said, "Look at how much I scored on my homework last night."

His homework was actually a set of mock exam papers created by Kitazawa.

Hinata Hyuga had received the same treatment before; it was a form of semi-cheating.

If it weren't for the mission, Kitazawa wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.

He took the exam paper and began to look it over.

Naruto Uzumaki had been doing mock exam papers for almost a month.

Although he couldn't compare to Sasuke Uchiha and the others, under this semi-cheating method, even his rote memorization was effective.

"Not bad, eighty-four points."

Kitazawa closed the exam paper and said.

"Great! Finally broke eighty!"

Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy too soon; no matter how strong Itachi are in simulations, it's fake."

Kitazawa paused and said, "And if Itachi want to secure a spot in the top ten of the class, Itachi need over ninety points."

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head, but his excitement didn't diminish.

After all, for him, scoring eighty-four points was an unprecedented first.

"Starting today, we're doing extra training."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki's expression froze, and he asked, "What kind of extra training?"

His personality could be described as fearless, but he was afraid of doing problems.

The reason he had persisted for so long this time was because of Kitazawa's rewards and the motivation brought by the top ten.

"Do Itachi remember what I said before? If Itachi get into the top ten, I'll teach Itachi a ninjutsu."

Kitazawa knew that pure extra training would be hard to accept, so he had to be circuitous.

"Of course I remember!"

Naruto Uzumaki replied immediately.

"The ninjutsu I'm going to teach Itachi is the Shadow Clone Jutsu; it's a B-rank ninjutsu, Itachi know."

Kitazawa emphasized.

Listen to me, thank Itachi!

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes filled with tears, and his body began to tremble violently.

"But I'm planning to change the reward method today."

Kitazawa felt a strong sense of déjà vu and quickly interrupted his chanting.

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki, who was just about to shout about his youth, was stunned.

"Starting today, I'll teach Itachi the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and depending on how Itachi learn the ninjutsu, I'll give Itachi extra training."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "If Itachi don't perform well, Itachi'll do more sets of exam papers; if Itachi perform well, Itachi'll only do a few more problems."

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu was clearly happy, but why did he have to do problems?

"How about it? This extra training method?"

Kitazawa patted his shoulder and asked.

"Teacher Kitazawa, don't worry, I'll work hard!"

Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth and said.

The excitement of learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu still outweighed the pain of doing problems.

"Don't leave after school; go to the school's training ground."

Kitazawa returned the exam paper to Naruto Uzumaki and said, "Class is about to start, go back to your seat."

"Yeah."

Naruto Uzumaki took the exam paper and returned to his seat.

Time passed in the blink of an eye until dusk.

"Today's practical class ends here."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said.

"Goodbye, Teacher Kitazawa."

The students of Class 1-A left one after another, and finally, only Naruto Uzumaki remained.

"Naruto."

Kitazawa performed hand seals and said, "I'll teach Itachi the Shadow Clone Jutsu now."

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki learned the advanced version of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, in a very short time.

But at that time, he had already graduated and possessed a certain foundation.

And the current Naruto Uzumaki was still quite far behind.

"Half a set of exam papers extra today."
