Chapter 208

But the reason he insisted on guiding her was to have a sense of participation; this way, he could ensure his mission was completed.

The bell for class rang.

Kitazawa came to the playground, looked at the students of Class 1-A, and thought of a question.

Could he have them and Class 2-A have lessons together?

If he could, he could save the time of one lesson.

Kitazawa thought about it carefully and found that it was really no problem.

The reason was that the school's ninjutsu class only taught the Three Body Jutsu.

Although the progress of the two classes was different, Kitazawa could adopt a batch-teaching method.

"The content of today's lesson is still Leaf-style taijutsu."

Kitazawa planned to have them have actual combat classes together after the monthly exams this month ended.

Time came to Wednesday.

Kitazawa had already sorted out the June monthly exam papers for each grade.

At the same time, he set the monthly exams for Thursday.

Thursday theory exam, Friday actual combat exam, Saturday and Sunday off.

"I truly have a conscience."

Kitazawa couldn't help but sigh.

He could have put the two-day monthly exams on Saturday and Sunday, which wouldn't delay class time.

But the students would be miserable, with the weekend becoming exam time, having to attend class for two weeks in a row.

In his past life, Kitazawa hated having class and work on weekends the most.

A knock on the door rang out.

"Come in."

Kitazawa looked up at the door.

"Kitazawa-senpai."

Iruka Umino pushed the door and walked in.

"Iruka, there is one thing Itachi need to do."

Kitazawa looked at him and spoke up.

Iruka Umino looked more haggard than before, appearing listless.

As for the reason, it was naturally because of Mizuki's death.

Mizuki had no parents, so the funeral arrangements after his death fell on his girlfriend, Tsubaki.

Iruka Umino himself was very enthusiastic, and Mizuki was his former good friend, so he took the initiative to help.

He was teaching while organizing the funeral, which was why he appeared so exhausted.

Kitazawa suddenly remembered a question.

In the original story, there was no mention of Iruka Umino's girlfriend or wife; he was likely single all along.

And Tsubaki had just lost her boyfriend and was in a vulnerable state.

Kitazawa put away his messy thoughts.

He never interfered in other people's relationships.

Kurenai Yuhi hadn't become Asuma Sarutobi's girlfriend yet, so it didn't count as interference.

"This is the monthly exam arrangement for this month."

Kitazawa handed him a notice and said, "Trouble Itachi to make a trip to the offices of each grade to notify them."

"Yes, Kitazawa-senpai."

Iruka Umino didn't hesitate and agreed.

"Iruka."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Pay attention to rest."

"Thank Itachi for your concern, Kitazawa-senpai."

Iruka Umino felt a warmth in his heart and said.

Although Kitazawa killed Mizuki, it was Mizuki who was in the wrong first.

Therefore, Iruka Umino had no complaints about Kitazawa.

Kitazawa picked up the test papers and headed to the office of the Vice Principal, Hisao Sarutobi.

Since the test papers were finished, the second step was printing.

Plus, tomorrow was the theory exam, so time was tight.

Besides, the subsequent matters didn't need Kitazawa's worry; that was Hisao Sarutobi's work.

Current mission: Help Shikamaru Nara establish the foundation for learning clan secret techniques.】

Mission reward: Shadow Possession Jutsu.】

Host has completed the mission, reward issued.】

Kitazawa, who had just come out of the Vice Principal's office, couldn't help but stop his steps.

Did Shikamaru Nara finish the water-treading training?

Sure enough, pressure brings motivation.

Because of Kitazawa's ninjutsu harassment and occasional actual combat training, Shikamaru Nara broke through his limits.

A large amount of information flooded into his mind.

The Shadow Possession Jutsu, like the Mind Transfer Jutsu, is a type of application of Yin Release.

Kitazawa suppressed the urge to try it and came to the school's artificial lake.

Shikamaru Nara was still doing water-treading training.

"Shikamaru."

Kitazawa dismissed his Shadow Clone and called out.

"Ki... Kitazawa-sensei."

Shikamaru Nara caught his breath and asked, "Is there anything?"

"Your water-treading training ends here."

Kitazawa said straight to the point.

"Is it ending so early today?"

Shikamaru Nara was stunned.

Under normal circumstances, he should train for a whole morning, but now it had only been an hour.

"Not today, Itachi don't need to do water-treading training anymore in the future."

Kitazawa corrected.

"What?"

Shikamaru Nara widened his eyes, not daring to believe his ears, and asked again, "Are Itachi telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to Itachi?"

Kitazawa explained, "With your current chakra control, water-treading training doesn't improve Itachi much anymore."

"Great!"

Shikamaru Nara was ecstatic after confirming it.

But he had only laughed twice when his expression changed drastically, and he fell directly into the lake.

Because he was too happy, he forgot to control the chakra in his feet.

"Help... glug... help... glug!"

Shikamaru Nara subconsciously struggled in the water.

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head, leaped up, stepped on the lake surface, and grabbed him out.

Shikamaru Nara was fished out by Kitazawa like a Magikarp using Splash.

As soon as he landed, he opened his mouth and spat out water.

Kitazawa glanced at it and thought to himself, the effect is outstanding.

"Th... thank Itachi, Kitazawa-sensei."

Shikamaru Nara calmed down for a while and then climbed up, soaking wet.

"Do Itachi need me to use Fire Style to dry Itachi off?"

Kitazawa asked.

"No! No need!"

Shikamaru Nara hurriedly refused, "My home isn't far from school; I'll just go back, take a shower, and change into a set of clothes."

"Then go back now, lest Itachi catch a cold."

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile and didn't force him.

"Alright."

Shikamaru Nara breathed a sigh of relief, walked a few steps, and suddenly looked back, asking, "Kitazawa-sensei, do I have training later?"

"I only promised your father to be your home tutor for one month."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

"Is that so?"

For some reason, Shikamaru Nara felt a sense of loss.

Do I like this kind of training? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Kitazawa-sensei, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

Shikamaru Nara came back to his senses and hurriedly ran away.

A few minutes later, he returned home, took his change of clothes, and went directly to the bathroom.

After taking a comfortable shower, Shikamaru Nara felt he had come back to life.

He changed into his clothes, lay on the sofa, and stared at the familiar ceiling in a daze.

A few minutes later, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Shikamaru Nara hesitated for a few seconds and sat up.

He looked out the window, and an unknown bird landed on the windowsill.

Shikamaru Nara performed hand seals.

Shadow Possession Jutsu!

His shadow seemed to have life and began to spread, reaching the window along the floor.

Under Shikamaru Nara's control, the shadow climbed up the wall and then grabbed the bird's shadow.

The bird immediately let out a terrified cry, but it could no longer move.

"Did I actually succeed?"

Surprise appeared on Shikamaru Nara's face.

He moved his mind, cut off the shadow, and the bird escaped at light speed.

Shikamaru Nara couldn't help but catch his breath a few times.
