Chapter 244

"Kitazawa."

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly asked out of the blue, "What color did Itachi see?"

"White."

Kitazawa answered immediately.

Only after answering subconsciously did he realize what he had done.

"Listen to my explanation!"

Kitazawa met Kurenai Yuhi's murderous gaze.

"Pervert! Go to hell!"

Kurenai Yuhi straightened up and pounced on him.

Kitazawa subconsciously retreated, but it was too late.

A soft body fell into his arms, catching him off guard and causing him to fall onto the sofa.

Kurenai Yuhi was now lying on top of him.

The two of them looked at each other.

Kurenai Yuhi realized their position was inappropriate; her face gradually turned red, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Just then, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Kurenai Yuhi got up in a panic and sat on the sofa, not daring to look at Kitazawa, only tucking her hair behind her ears.

"Perhaps I've come at a bad time."

Tsunade walked into the living room, looked around, and said.

"No."

Kitazawa said without changing his expression, "Itachi came at the right time; I just got back too."

"Then let's start researching the new ninjutsu."

Tsunade sat on the sofa, stretched, and asked, "Where did we leave off yesterday?"

Because the new ninjutsu needs to imitate Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu Kekkei Genkai, it is very difficult and has not been completed yet.

Kitazawa did not participate in their discussion and went upstairs.

He doesn't know much about genjutsu, only the Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death.

The night passed in a flash.

After Tsunade and Shizune left, Kitazawa and Kurenai Yuhi followed their usual routine and sent Yakumo Kurama home.

"Kurenai."

Kitazawa reached out, held her soft hand, and asked, "Do Itachi have any plans for the summer vacation?"

"I usually go out on missions, but I don't need to now."

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head and said.

The purpose of going on missions is to make money.

Now she can make money by creating new ninjutsu for Yakumo Kurama, and it's very safe.

As long as it's not a mission designated by the Hidden Leaf high-level, she is too lazy to take the initiative to do them now.

"Then can Itachi teach me genjutsu?"

Kitazawa asked directly.

"Can Itachi handle learning it?"

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned and asked.

Kitazawa had used Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death before, so she knew he had a certain talent for genjutsu.

But learning both genjutsu and medical ninjutsu makes her scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"I'll learn as much as I can."

Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "Anyway, there's nothing to do during summer vacation."

"Alright then."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded and agreed.

Time came to the next day.

Kitazawa met Iruka Umino at the school gate.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Iruka Umino said with a smile, "I wonder how our students will perform in their first actual combat exam."

The previous combat exams weren't real combat; they could only be considered ordinary taijutsu projects.

"They won't let us down."

Kitazawa reminded him, "Have Itachi forgotten the previous friendly match?"

"That's true."

Iruka Umino said with emotion, "I feel that Yakumo, Sasuke, and the others' strength has already surpassed mine."

He is a chunin, and a very ordinary one at that, without a Kekkei Genkai.

"Geniuses always make people feel desperate."

Kitazawa echoed.

"Senior Kitazawa is being humble; Itachi are a special jonin now."

Iruka Umino thought about the incident where Mizuki hired two chunin, only to be killed in a three-on-one fight.

"Speaking of which, Iruka, Itachi came very early today."

Kitazawa chatted.

"It was Tsubaki's reminder."

Iruka Umino scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Kitazawa was just about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He saw Naruto Uzumaki, but he wasn't the focus; the focus was Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him.

Kitazawa felt trouble.

To complete his mission, he had to fight the student who took first place in the combat exam.

But on second thought, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't come, he would still peek through the crystal ball, with the same result.

"Is that... the Hokage?"

Iruka Umino noticed his expression, subconsciously looked over, and asked in surprise.

"Let's go over."

Kitazawa nodded slightly and said.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

When Naruto Uzumaki saw him, he jumped up and down, greeting him excitedly.

"Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa and Iruka Umino said in unison.

"No need for formalities."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "I happened to be free today, so I came to take a look."

I believe your ghost, Itachi old man, Itachi're very bad.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coming here, needless to say, is all because of Naruto Uzumaki.

"The students of Class 1-A will definitely be extremely excited to see Itachi later."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "They will perform even better today."

"Their performance has nothing to do with me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at them and said, "It's because Itachi teach well."

"Thank Itachi for the praise, Hokage-sama!"

Iruka Umino stood at attention upon hearing this, feeling very excited.

He is not like Kitazawa, who can see Hiruzen Sarutobi from time to time and receive praise.

"Wow!"

"Hokage-sama!"

"Grandpa Third!"

As time passed, the students of Class 1-A arrived at the playground one after another.

As soon as they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, they couldn't help but crowd around.

"Good morning, children."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted shoulders and touched heads, full of smiles.

"Hokage-sama is truly approachable."

Iruka Umino said with emotion.

Kitazawa nodded slightly.

Among the past Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's publicity is undoubtedly well done.

He has put a lot of effort into both his own image and the Will of Fire.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

The first semester final combat exam officially began.

"There are only two rules for this combat exam."

Kitazawa said, "First, it's mainly for sparring, don't hurt anyone. Second, we will use a lottery method, and those with the same number will be opponents."

The students in Class 1-A are basically six or seven years old.

According to a normal competition, it's difficult to fight all the way up, and they don't have that much chakra.

Besides, this is an exam, not a competition; what's being looked at is not the result, but the performance.

Kitazawa and Iruka Umino will grade them based on their performance and then rank them.

Of course, one round of performance is not enough; they will hold three rounds.

Only those who meet the score requirements can enter the next round.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood to the side, stroking his beard.

He was very satisfied with the previous friendly match between Class 1-A and Class 2-A.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Yakumo Kurama, and others all had good performances.

I wonder what changes they have had after so long.

The only pity is that Yakumo Kurama didn't come to take the final exam.

But that doesn't matter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi focuses on Naruto Uzumaki and the heirs of the major ninja clans.

They are the future of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Come up one by one in order to draw lots."

Kitazawa opened the storage summoning scroll and took out a lottery box.

"I'm number one!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the small slip of paper and asked impatiently, "Who is the same as me?"
