Chapter 305: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I

Kitazawa paused, then said, "But Itachi didn't undergo special training during summer vacation, so Itachi need to be strengthened."

Shikamaru Nara's eyes widened like copper bells upon hearing this.

Using shadows to carve is already exhausting enough; why does he need to be strengthened?

Is this the price for having too much fun during summer vacation?

"Ino, Itachi will train with Shikamaru."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Your task is simple: just keep interfering with him."

"???"

Shikamaru Nara was full of question marks.

Isn't Ino Yamanaka's interference just using the Mind Transfer Jutsu?

In other words, he has to multitask.

He must control Yin Release chakra to carve shadows while simultaneously fighting Ino Yamanaka for control of his consciousness.

"This training method is not bad."

Ino Yamanaka blinked and said, "Shikamaru, I won't go easy on Itachi."

Shikamaru Nara wanted to say something but stopped.

"Then what about me?"

Sakura Haruno asked, looking confused.

Previously, she and Ino Yamanaka always trained together, but now she was left alone.

"I will teach Itachi a new medical ninjutsu."

Kitazawa replied.

He was teaching according to their aptitude.

Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka both underwent special training for the entire summer.

But the former had higher talent for medical ninjutsu.

It wasn't that Ino Yamanaka lacked talent, but that secret techniques were generally harder to learn.

As for medical ninjutsu, there were many C-rank and D-rank ones Sakura Haruno could learn.

"I can finally learn a new medical ninjutsu!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up, her face full of smiles.

Ino Yamanaka felt a bit envious, but there was nothing she could do; the ninjutsu they were learning were different.

"I'll have my Shadow Clone teach Itachi."

Kitazawa performed hand seals and created a Shadow Clone.

"Okay, Teacher Kitazawa."

Sakura Haruno didn't care whether it was the original or a Shadow Clone teaching her; it was all the same to her.

"Begin training."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he looked at Hinata Hyuga and said, "Your training today is to spar with me."

In one morning, no matter how much one practices the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, there won't be much progress.

And nothing is better for a last-minute cram than actual combat.

"Yes."

Hinata Hyuga nodded obediently.

Whatever Kitazawa said, she would do.

"Let's go over there."

Kitazawa led Hinata Hyuga to a secluded, deserted corner.

The battle began.

Hinata Hyuga activated her Byakugan, kicked off the ground, and rushed out like a streak of white light.

She raised her hands and directly used the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Her small palms struck toward Kitazawa one after another.

Kitazawa's response was simple; he also struck out with two palms.

The four palms collided in pairs.

The chakra surging from their palms also clashed.

In an instant, invisible air waves rolled out.

Hinata Hyuga was dazed for a moment.

It felt as if the person she was sparring with wasn't Kitazawa, but Hiashi Hyuga.

The reason was simple.

There aren't many ninjutsu that release chakra from the palms, and the most typical one is the Gentle Fist.

Can someone who isn't from the Hyuga clan learn the Gentle Fist?

Hinata Hyuga thought of Kitazawa's daily guidance and understood.

She tightened her small face and, without hesitation, continued to strike.

But as she expected, none of her strikes were effective.

After ten strikes, just as Hinata Hyuga was about to continue, her body suddenly trembled, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

When did this happen?

Hinata Hyuga felt that the chakra in her body had completely stopped flowing.

Kitazawa stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and rolled up her sleeve.

Four red dots appeared on Hinata Hyuga's originally fair arm.

These four red dots were caused by Kitazawa, and they represented chakra points.

"Te... Teacher Kitazawa, Itachi..."

Hinata Hyuga opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Do Itachi want to ask why I know the Gentle Fist?"

Kitazawa pressed his two fingers together against her chakra point and said with a smile, "I learned it from Itachi."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga's eyes widened.

But the renewed flow of her chakra proved that Kitazawa wasn't lying.

Only a ninja who has mastered the Gentle Fist can understand how to strike points.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

Kitazawa let go of her arm and joked, "If your father finds out, I might lose my life."

"I won't!"

Hinata Hyuga quickly promised, "Even if I die, I won't tell a second person, including Father!"

"It's not that serious."

Kitazawa patted her head and said with a smile, "Let's continue training."

Given his current relationship with Tsunade, learning a Gentle Fist technique wasn't a capital offense.

After all, it wasn't like he had transplanted a pair of Byakugan.

But it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble; he wasn't strong enough yet.

After Kitazawa reminded Hinata Hyuga, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't talk nonsense.

Time reached noon.

"Hinata, go home now, take a bath, and rest. Then come back to school for the afternoon combat class."

Kitazawa looked at the sweating Hinata Hyuga and said.

Although he hadn't used his full strength, the power he displayed was still higher than Neji Hyuga's.

It was already remarkable that Hinata Hyuga could persist for the whole morning.

She still had to spar with Neji Hyuga in the afternoon, so it wasn't suitable to arrange more combat training, lest she have no energy left for the spar.

"Th... thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and said, panting.

Her bangs were completely soaked with sweat and stuck together.

"I'll see Itachi back."

Kitazawa nodded slightly and said.

"No... no need."

Hinata Hyuga subconsciously didn't want to trouble Kitazawa.

"It's fine, it's on the way."

Kitazawa explained, "I happen to be going to the Konoha Hospital."

His Shadow Clone was enough for the special training of Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, and the others.

He only had one combat class in the afternoon, so he couldn't waste the remaining time.

Hinata Hyuga didn't refuse again after hearing this.

Kitazawa walked her all the way to the Hyuga clan compound before turning to leave.

Hinata Hyuga stood at the entrance, watching his back gradually disappear before she withdrew her gaze.

"Why are Itachi back so early today?"

Hiashi Hyuga was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, holding Hanabi Hyuga.

"Sister!"

Hanabi Hyuga immediately called out.

"I just finished special training with Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga replied, "He told me to go home and rest, and I only need to attend the combat class in the afternoon."

"Why is there still special training after school started?"

Hiashi Hyuga frowned slightly and asked.

For various reasons, he was not satisfied with Kitazawa.

"It... it's because I have to spar with Neji-niisan in the combat class."

Hinata Hyuga hesitated for two seconds before telling the truth.

"Oh?"

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly became interested.

Since they were young, Neji Hyuga had always surpassed Hinata Hyuga in talent and strength.

To keep Hinata Hyuga from losing confidence, Hiashi Hyuga hadn't even let Neji Hyuga be her sparring partner anymore.

But... it was hard to say now.

Hinata Hyuga's progress was truly too great.

"Go down and rest."

Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand and said.

He had already decided to sneak into the Ninja Academy to watch the battle during the combat class.
