Chapter 248

Kitazawa gave a similar grade.

After Hinata Hyuga, it was Sakura Haruno, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka's turn.

They were lucky and didn't meet each other, and they all won easily.

"The first round is over, take a fifteen-minute break."

Kitazawa said loudly, "Students who got eighty points in the first round will enter the second round of combat."

"I will now announce the students who will enter the second round of combat."

Iruka Umino read the names after synthesizing the grades with Kitazawa.

"Sasuke-kun, how are Itachi?"

Sakura Haruno hesitated for a few seconds and asked.

After the sparring with Shikamaru Nara ended, Sasuke Uchiha was frighteningly cold, standing in place without saying a word.

"I'm fine."

Sasuke Uchiha said expressionlessly.

Narrowly defeating Shikamaru Nara gave him a big blow.

But fortunately, he was just careless and didn't notice Shikamaru Nara's Shadow Possession Jutsu.

If they sparred again, he would make him understand what cruelty is.

However, Shikamaru Nara reminded him not to underestimate anyone.

He must steadily get first place.

"The biggest surprise in this first round is Shikamaru."

Iruka Umino looked at the score sheet and said, "His progress is really too great."

"It's the result of his hard work."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"I've tried ways to change his personality, but none of them worked. Senior Kitazawa is really amazing; he simply reborn him."

Iruka Umino said with great admiration.

"It seems that my recommendation of Itachi to Shikaku as Shikamaru's home tutor was not wrong."

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked up to them during the break.

"Was it actually Hokage-sama's recommendation?"

Iruka Umino couldn't help but feel envious.

This shows that in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, Kitazawa already has a place as an excellent teacher.

And maybe Kitazawa is the only ninja school teacher who can leave a deep impression on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kitazawa was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that when Shikaku Nara came to find him, it was because of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Thank Itachi for your kindness, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa said quickly.

"It's nothing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "It's because Itachi have the ability yourself."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The students who entered the second round walked up to draw lots.

"I'm number one again!"

Naruto Uzumaki said with a full face of smiles.

Drawing two number ones in a row must be a hint that he can get first place in this combat exam.

"Is it my turn this time?"

Choji Akimichi smiled honestly and said, "Naruto, please go easy on me."

"No problem!"

Naruto Uzumaki patted his chest and said, "We'll stop at the right point."

Choji Akimichi breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them engaged in combat using taijutsu.

It was clear that Choji Akimichi hadn't learned the secret technique of the Akimichi clan and had been using the Leaf-style taijutsu.

Under the bombardment of Naruto Uzumaki's Leaf Whirlwind, Leaf Great Whirlwind, and Leaf Strong Whirlwind, he soon surrendered.

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa paused and said, "Please, student number two, enter the field."

Sasuke Uchiha walked out with a cold face.

"It's over!"

Kiba Inuzuka was tearful and asked, "Is there anyone unluckier than me?"
