Chapter 265: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

Yoshino Nara subconsciously asked: "How did Itachi go from sixty to one hundred?"

"What's hard about that?"

Shikamaru Nara said as a matter of course: "I'm surnamed Nara, after all; it's normal to be a bit smart."

"Then why did Itachi always score sixty before?"

Yoshino Nara's face sank and she asked.

"I was very ignorant back then."

Shikamaru Nara quickly expressed his stance: "From now on, whatever Itachi say, Mom, I'll do!"

"I'll believe Itachi for now."

Yoshino Nara's expression softened.

After all, Shikamaru Nara had done very well this time, so she had no reason to be angry.

"But Itachi learned the Shadow Imitation Jutsu; why were Itachi only fifth in the practical exam?"

Yoshino Nara asked again.

"What else could it be?"

Shikamaru Nara's mouth twitched, and he complained: "Because there's a bunch of freaks in our class!"

"I know a little about that."

Shikaku Nara introduced Shikamaru Nara's classmates to Yoshino Nara.

Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame, Ino Yamanaka, and so on.

"No wonder."

Yoshino Nara sighed after hearing it: "Itachi being fifth is indeed your best effort."

Except for Naruto Uzumaki, they were basically all super geniuses of the new generation of major ninja clans.

A mere Shadow Imitation Jutsu didn't have much of an advantage.

And as the wife of the Nara clan head, she also knew Naruto Uzumaki's true identity.

Just the fact that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, meant he wouldn't be a mediocre person.

"But I have to say, Shikaku hiring Kitazawa as your tutor is indeed worth it."

Yoshino Nara said with great satisfaction.

"It was Lord Hokage's keen eye."

Shikaku Nara smiled and said: "Without his recommendation, I wouldn't have thought of hiring Kitazawa as Shikamaru's tutor."

"Huh?"

Shikamaru Nara was full of question marks.

The culprit was actually the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi?

He usually admired him, but one sentence had made his life miserable!

"Regardless, we still have to hire Kitazawa as his tutor next semester."

Yoshino Nara nodded slightly and said.

As a Nara clan that made a living selling medicinal herbs, they weren't short of money.

And compared to Shikamaru Nara's change, money was nothing.

"Definitely."

Shikaku Nara agreed.

"..."

Shikamaru Nara wanted to speak but stopped.

He really wanted to say: Can Itachi ask for my opinion?

But he was more afraid that after he spoke, they would intensify their efforts and hire him tomorrow, and then his summer break would be completely ruined.

Forget it, enjoy it first, and leave the bitter days to the future self.

One must believe in the wisdom of future generations.

"Rice balls, they are all rice balls."

Hinata Hyuga hummed the rice ball song she had made up, suddenly felt a stir in her heart, and changed the lyrics: "Teacher, Teacher Kitazawa is the best!"

She didn't stop humming until she reached the Hyuga clan's compound.

Although she was much bolder than before, she hadn't forgotten the rules of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hyuga walked into the courtyard obediently.

She looked left and right and didn't see Hiashi Hyuga.

The Uchiha clan managed the Hidden Leaf Police Force, so the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, also had to go to work.

But the Hyuga clan was different; they didn't have a directly managed Hidden Leaf department.

Plus, worried about the Byakugan leaking, the Hyuga clan's main family basically stayed at home except during the Ninja World War.

Was he in the study?

Hinata Hyuga originally wanted to go straight back to her room, but suddenly thought of something, so she turned and came to the front of the study.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hiashi Hyuga's voice rang out.

"Father."

Hinata Hyuga pushed the door open and walked in, kneeling opposite him.

"Itachi're back?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly and asked: "How did Itachi do?"

Since Hinata Hyuga awakened her eyes, his attitude had changed a lot.

"Third place."

Hinata Hyuga answered.

"How come only third place?"

Hiashi Hyuga felt surprised.

Because in his view, Hinata Hyuga had already mastered the first four palms of the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, so she should have been slaughtering everyone at the ninja academy.

"The first two are Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha."

Hinata Hyuga said embarrassedly: "I'm a bit worse than them."

Uzumaki? Uchiha?

Hiashi Hyuga was suddenly enlightened.

Naruto Uzumaki was the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki.

Sasuke Uchiha was the son of the Uchiha clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, and had a super genius brother, Itachi Uchiha.

It was normal for Hinata Hyuga not to be able to beat them.

"Although Itachi have talent in the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Itachi have only been learning for a short time."

Hiashi Hyuga thought for a moment and said: "Itachi don't need to be discouraged; learn and practice more during the summer break, and Itachi might be able to defeat them next semester."

The Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan had big names, but the Hyuga clan wasn't bad either.

Hiashi Hyuga believed that Hinata Hyuga would lose purely because she awakened too late.

She only showed high talent after enrolling.

"Hmm."

Hinata Hyuga nodded and said: "With Teacher Kitazawa's guidance, I will work hard to catch up with them."

"He's an outsider; what does he know about Gentle Fist?"

Hiashi Hyuga laughed dumbly.

She was just a child after all.

"I think Teacher Kitazawa knows a lot."

Hinata Hyuga recalled Kitazawa's guidance earlier and said earnestly.

"Starting tomorrow, Itachi will stay at home, and I will accompany Itachi to practice the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms as much as possible."

Hiashi Hyuga didn't argue with Hinata Hyuga about Kitazawa anymore and said instead.

"I... I have to participate in Teacher Kitazawa's summer special training during the day."

Hinata Hyuga hesitated for a few seconds and refused.

"What did Itachi say?"

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but frown and said: "What use is the special training of an outsider ninja to Itachi? I don't agree."

"No!"

Hinata Hyuga raised her head and said without thinking.

"...?"

Hiashi Hyuga was stunned.

Was this the first time Hinata Hyuga had opposed him?

Hinata Hyuga also realized what she had done, and her heart couldn't help but race.

But... she had to participate in the summer special training.

"I have already promised Teacher Kitazawa, so I cannot break my word."

Hinata Hyuga took a deep breath and said: "Itachi taught me to be a person of my word."

"..."

Hiashi Hyuga fell into silence.

To be honest, he was actually happy that Hinata Hyuga could oppose him.

Because she would be the head of the Hyuga clan in the future and couldn't be without her own opinions.

But it was subtle that she opposed him for the sake of an outsider.

"Itachi can go."

Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice: "But if your Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is affected by this, Itachi must stop."
