Chapter 165: Naruto's Highlight Moment

"I won!"

Sakura Haruno said very excitedly.

"Itachi beat me to it in the end, congratulations, Sakura."

Ino Yamanaka said with a smile.

She had always been a good sport, and since the winner was Sakura Haruno, her best friend, she could naturally offer her blessings.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura Haruno floated toward Sasuke Uchiha like a butterfly.

"..."

Ino Yamanaka couldn't help but shake her head.

Sure enough, no matter what, it was hard to change Sakura Haruno's nature.

She was just a fangirl who couldn't close her mouth when she saw a handsome guy.

"Barely okay."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Sakura Haruno's look of seeking praise, suddenly thought of himself, and said casually.

"Huh?"

Sakura Haruno widened her eyes immediately.

Did Sasuke-kun actually praise me?

Stars appeared in her eyes, and she wished she could rush up like Naruto Uzumaki.

Sasuke Uchiha noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled away.

"Well done, Sakura!"

Naruto Uzumaki and the others gathered around.

Class 1-A ushered in a happy time again.

Crossing a one-year gap and defeating Class 2-A twice in a row was truly dreamlike for them.

But they all knew who the biggest contributor was, and they all couldn't help but look at Kitazawa.

"How could this be?"

Mizuki couldn't stand this blow and subconsciously took two steps back.

How did the invincible Neji Hyuga lose again?

For a moment, he even had complaints about Neji Hyuga.

Itachi usually look so powerful, why do Itachi become so useless at the critical moment?

"Has Ino's chakra control reached this point?"

Shikaku Nara said with emotion, "She could completely try to learn the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu, the Mind Transfer Jutsu."

Speaking of secret jutsu, he thought of Shikamaru Nara.

Clearly smart enough and talented enough, but wasted it because of laziness.

"Inoichi has a successor."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and agreed.

But compared to Ino Yamanaka, he cared more about Sakura Haruno.

Because she was the daughter of a civilian ninja.

Sakura Haruno had such chakra control at a young age, and her future strength wouldn't be too bad.

And as Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi liked civilian ninjas the most.

Because they were very loyal.

While clan ninjas sometimes put their clans before the Hidden Leaf Village.

Especially the Uchiha clan.

"It's because she works hard enough."

Shikaku Nara sighed and said, "Shikamaru is so lazy that even going to school is forced by his mother."

"I actually have an idea."

Hiruzen Sarutobi swept his gaze over Kitazawa and said, "Itachi can invite Kitazawa to be Shikamaru's tutor."

Shikaku Nara was stunned.

His first reaction was that it was unnecessary, after all, Kitazawa was already teaching his son at school every day.

But thinking about it, he understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention; he was referring to special training.

Under Kitazawa's special training, Ino Yamanaka and the others had undergone earth-shaking changes.

And what Shikaku Nara knew was that Shikamaru Nara hadn't participated in special training at all.

If Kitazawa became his tutor, maybe there would be some changes.

"I'll find time to ask Kitazawa."

Shikaku Nara thought for a moment and said.

He felt it was worth a try.

Although he had always respected Shikamaru Nara's choices, who wouldn't want their child to succeed?

Maybe Kitazawa could do it.

"The second competition item, Class 1-A wins!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the judge, announced the result of the match.

Compared to the liveliness of Class 1-A, Class 2-A was very quiet.

Because they had accumulated a one-year time advantage, they were determined to win the friendly match and were aiming for a perfect score.

But now they had been beaten to two points by the opposite side, which really made them feel confused.

"The key to a friendly match lies in real combat."

Mizuki took a deep breath and said, "They can only beat us in these niche items."

He was cheering up Class 2-A, and also cheering up himself.

Neji Hyuga felt a little refreshed upon hearing this.

He had always believed that the strong are respected and the weak should be severely humiliated.

Having lost twice now, he didn't deny it, only hoping to win it back completely in the real combat match.

As long as he defeated Sasuke Uchiha, he wouldn't be considered a loser.

"The third competition item, physical fitness test."

After the rest time ended, Kitazawa said, "There is only one rule: whoever persists to the end is the winner."

Generally, physical training would set a number of laps.

But after setting laps, besides competing in physical fitness, one also had to compete in speed.

Kitazawa was worried that Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't be able to beat Neji Hyuga in speed, so he modified the rules.

And Mizuki trusted Neji Hyuga too much and didn't change a word of the rules, leading to the current half-failure.

But Class 1-A hadn't achieved total victory yet and couldn't let their guard down.

"Just run like Itachi do in normal physical training, don't have too much pressure."

Kitazawa looked at everyone in Class 1-A and reminded them.

"Kitazawa-sensei, don't worry!"

Naruto Uzumaki said confidently, "I will still be first this time!"

"The opposite side has Neji Hyuga, don't get too carried away."

Kiba Inuzuka elbowed him and said.

Now that it was time to be united against the outside, he didn't confront Naruto Uzumaki.

"Why do Itachi all only care about Neji Hyuga?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "I think Lee is not bad either."

He and Rock Lee trained together and knew each other well.

In terms of effort and youth, Rock Lee and he were evenly matched.

"Who is Lee?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked with a confused tone.

"Rock Lee."

Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand and pointed at Rock Lee.

"..."

Kiba Inuzuka looked at his familiar green bodysuit and immediately understood something.

"Naruto!"

Rock Lee noticed Naruto Uzumaki and immediately got up to say hello.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of Class 2-A.

After all, in the dead atmosphere, someone with a completely different style suddenly popped up, which was naturally very eye-catching.

"Lee!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave Rock Lee a thumbs up and said, "For youth!"

"For youth!"

Rock Lee said seriously, "This time in the physical fitness test, I won't lose to Itachi again!"

"These two guys are hopeless."

Tenten only felt it was an eyesore.

Neji Hyuga really wanted to complain, but finally chose to give up.

Anyway, they were both losers.

Rock Lee often challenged him, but never won once.

Naruto Uzumaki played with him, so he probably wouldn't be too strong.

Neji Hyuga's goal from beginning to end was Sasuke Uchiha.

After all, he was the first place in Class 1-A.

"Ready!"

Kitazawa shouted loudly.

Everyone quickly got into the starting position.

Following Kitazawa's order, they rushed out.

Neji Hyuga ran at the front, followed by Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Rock Lee.

"Kitazawa."

Mizuki suddenly walked over and asked, "Why does your class have a student who didn't participate in the friendly match?"

He was referring to Yakumo Kurama, who had been watching from the side.

"She is not in good health, so she didn't participate."

Kitazawa explained.
