Chapter 145: Kurenai Yuhi

The next day, Monday.

As June arrived, the temperature in the Hidden Leaf Village rose significantly.

At the entrance of the Ninja Academy, a large crowd of students gathered in front of the bulletin board, checking the grade-wide rankings for the May monthly exams.

Kitazawa stepped forward to take a look; it was much the same as last time. The top ten in First-Year Class A were the top ten in the entire grade.

"Kitazawa."

Mizuki suddenly appeared and blocked his path. "It's a pity your class didn't have any students with perfect scores."

He failed to show off last time, so he's back at it again?

Kitazawa smiled and said, "The Hokage has already agreed to my request and will serve as the referee for the friendly match this Friday."

Mizuki couldn't help but freeze.

He really wanted to say that Kitazawa was lying, but since it concerned the Hokage, Kitazawa would never dare to lie.

In other words, this was true.

How agonizing.

Mizuki felt as though his attempt to show off just now had made him look like a clown.

What did having more perfect scores matter?

Kitazawa had already become a favorite in front of the Hokage, with a future that was limitless.

Mizuki already had a premonition that in a few years, Kitazawa would become his direct superior.

"I'm heading to class, goodbye."

Watching Mizuki's face turn from green to white, Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

Truly, happiness built on the suffering of others is the real deal.

Of course, Kitazawa had always been kind to others.

It was just that Mizuki insisted on stepping up; he had mistaken him for a speed bump.

After the first period ended, Kitazawa arrived at the school's training ground.

With him were the four truants: Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Sakura Haruno.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Sasuke Uchiha asked impatiently, "What Fire Style ninjutsu am I learning today?"

The continuous praise from Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha yesterday had made him feel great; he had been happy all night, and now he wanted more.

"Itachi have already learned two C-rank Fire Style ninjutsu. If Itachi want to improve your strength, Itachi must learn B-rank Fire Style ninjutsu, but that requires a lot of time."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "The friendly match is coming up soon, so I can teach Itachi a ninjutsu that will quickly improve your strength."

"What is it?"

Sasuke Uchiha asked hurriedly.

As long as it could improve his strength, he didn't care if it was Fire Style or not.

"Manipulated Shuriken Technique."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"I want to learn that!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he said immediately.
