Chapter 193: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"I see."

Naruto Uzumaki knew he had always been clever, so he believed his words.

"As it happens, I'm also doing water-treading training."

Shikamaru Nara reached out his hand and said, "We can cooperate."

"How are we supposed to cooperate?"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his hand and asked.

Shikamaru Nara explained Kitazawa's training method to him.

"Is it really like that?"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly, "That sounds thrilling."

Are Itachi a masochist?

Shikamaru Nara couldn't understand.

Such painful training, and Itachi call it thrilling?

"When the time comes, we'll work together to fight against Teacher Kitazawa, grow bigger and stronger, and create glory together."

Shikamaru Nara draped an arm over his shoulder and said with a serious face.

"Itachi want to train with Naruto?"

Kitazawa's voice rang out.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Naruto Uzumaki greeted him immediately.

"We're all classmates, it's more lively if we train together."

A smile appeared on Shikamaru Nara's face.

"Very well."

Hearing this, Kitazawa laughed, "Follow me."

"Hold on a second!"

Shikamaru Nara sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Teacher Kitazawa, I'm supposed to be resting this afternoon; I'll train with Naruto tomorrow."

"Itachi just agreed to train with Naruto, so Itachi cannot go back on your word."

Kitazawa turned and walked forward.

Because it was already noon, Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga had already returned to the classroom for their lunch break and were not at the artificial lake.

"Right here will do."

Kitazawa stopped in an open space.

He looked at Shikamaru Nara and Naruto Uzumaki.

One was dejected, the other excited, forming a perfect contrast.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Shikamaru Nara reacted and asked, "Aren't we doing water-treading training?"

Their current location was seven or eight meters away from the artificial lake, not even close.

Oh no!

I've been had!

Cleverness is a burden to the clever!

Shikamaru Nara had instinctively assumed Naruto Uzumaki was doing water-treading training, which is why he was willing to stay and share the load.

As it turned out, that wasn't the case, and he had instantly become the clown.

"It's combat training."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Now, the two of Itachi attack me. Remember to use your full strength."

"……?"

Shikamaru Nara was instantly dumbfounded.

What kind of combat training is this? This is clearly "getting beaten up" training.

"Watch out! Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki rushed up without hesitation, "Leaf Whirlwind!"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

His speed had increased quite a bit.

It seems training with Might Guy had caused his strength to improve by leaps and bounds.

Kitazawa clenched his fist and smashed it into his foot.

Naruto Uzumaki only felt his right leg go numb, but he recovered quickly.

"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

He pressed his right hand to the ground, twisted his body, and instantly delivered another roundhouse kick.

Kitazawa stood where he was, transforming into leaves.

Naruto Uzumaki kicked at empty air, stumbled, and quickly steadied himself.

He soon found Kitazawa's position and quickly approached him again.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Kitazawa hadn't forgotten his goal.

The reason he was putting Naruto Uzumaki through combat training was to enable him to defeat Sasuke Uchiha.

And Fire Style was essential for that.

As for Shikamaru Nara, although it was an impromptu addition, Kitazawa thought about it carefully and felt it might have a good effect.

The reason Shikamaru Nara was lazy, besides his nature, was that he had no pressure.

If he got beaten up a few times, he would know the importance of strength.

Simply put, he needed setbacks.

Just like how his teacher Asuma Sarutobi sacrificed himself in the original story.

"Wah wah wah!"

The air twisted and heated up; Naruto Uzumaki felt his feet burning and quickly retreated.

The great fireball pursued relentlessly.

"Shikamaru, get out of the way!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted, rolled on the ground, and tumbled to the side.

Shikamaru Nara had long since noticed the great fireball; a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Since things had come to this, he could only fight.

Not fighting meant getting beaten up.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly dodged.

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!

Kitazawa performed hand seals unhurriedly.

Chakra transformed into clusters of flames that flew out from his mouth.

Under his control, they split in two and headed toward Naruto Uzumaki and Shikamaru Nara.

"Eat my kick!"

Facing the dense fireballs, Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "Extreme: Leaf Diamond Strength Whirlwind!"

His foot was coated in blue chakra, and while insulating the heat, he kicked the fireballs apart.

Kitazawa felt surprised.

Had Naruto Uzumaki already learned the Extreme: Leaf Diamond Strength Whirlwind?

This was the fourth taijutsu in the Leaf Whirlwind series, and its power was quite astonishing.

Compared to Naruto Uzumaki's flair, Shikamaru Nara was quite pathetic.

Kitazawa controlled his speed so that the fireballs were always one step behind him.

But even so, he had to roll on the ground several times before successfully dodging.

At this moment, Shikamaru Nara wished more than anything that he knew his family's secret techniques.

At least then he would have a chance to counterattack.

"Naruto, use your Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Shikamaru Nara caught his breath and shouted.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki immediately performed hand seals.

*Poof.

Two Naruto Uzumakis appeared in the smoke.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

The three Naruto Uzumakis launched a charge.

"That's not how Itachi charge!"

Shikamaru Nara didn't have time to stop them and could only watch as they ran in front of Kitazawa.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Kitazawa smiled faintly and spat out a large fireball.

"Help! Help!"

The two Naruto Uzumakis in the front were grazed by the fireball and caught fire.

"Haha! Teacher Kitazawa, Itachi've been tricked!"

The last Naruto Uzumaki appeared behind Kitazawa.

He threw a punch, and in an instant, it actually stirred up a whistling wind.

Are all of Itachi in the Uzumaki clan born with divine strength?

Kitazawa muttered to himself, turned slightly, and dodged it.

He raised his leg and kicked Naruto Uzumaki away.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

His body transformed into leaves.

The next second, Shikamaru Nara's punch missed.

He froze, knowing his sneak attack had failed.

Shikamaru Nara was subsequently sent flying just like Naruto Uzumaki.

The two landed on the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

"Na... Naruto, do Itachi have any ninjutsu that can restrain him?"

Shikamaru Nara shook his head and asked.

"I do."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said.

"Itachi really do?"

Shikamaru Nara felt surprised.
