Chapter 311: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I

"What binds Itachi is not the Caged Bird, but your ignorance."

Kitazawa shook his head and asked back, "Why not try to break the Caged Bird?"

"So many branch house ninjas in the Hyuga clan for thousands of years have thought about breaking it, but none have found a way."

Neji Hyuga suddenly shouted, "This is the fate of our branch house!"

"Didn't Itachi say Itachi were a genius?"

Kitazawa said unhurriedly, "If Itachi break the Caged Bird, Itachi will be the number one genius in the history of the Hyuga clan."

"I... this is impossible."

Neji Hyuga was stunned for a moment, shaking his head.

"Neji, then let me ask Itachi."

Kitazawa asked earnestly, "Do Itachi have the courage to swing your sword at fate?"

"..."

Neji Hyuga opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

【The prerequisite for dominating the Ninja Academy is to conquer the geniuses of all grades.】

【Current Task: Gain Neji Hyuga's preliminary recognition.】

【Task Reward: Increase Byakugan purity by 10%.】

【Do Itachi accept?】

Kitazawa's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, a new task was triggered, and it was related to the Byakugan.

This task reward was the same as the one obtained by defeating Neji Hyuga before.

How should I put it?

Although 10% Byakugan purity doesn't sound like much, the effect is actually quite good.

And the previous 10% plus this 10%, maybe the effect will be greatly improved.

Of course, the specifics will only be known after the task is completed.

"Think about it carefully."

Kitazawa patted Neji Hyuga's shoulder and said, "Once Itachi've thought it through, Itachi can come and participate in my special training."

He didn't say anything more.

How does the saying go: don't persuade others to be kind without experiencing their suffering.

Kitazawa could understand why Neji Hyuga resented the Hyuga clan's main house.

Hizashi Hyuga dying for Hiashi Hyuga was indeed not a human act.

Plus, Neji Hyuga had seen with his own eyes the scene where Hiashi Hyuga punished Hizashi Hyuga with the Caged Bird.

Therefore, Kitazawa didn't persuade him to forgive the Hyuga clan's main house, but shifted his attention to the Caged Bird.

As for whether Neji Hyuga could break the Caged Bird, it could only be said to be very difficult.

But just because he couldn't, didn't mean Kitazawa couldn't.

System, show me your limits!

In short, Kitazawa was half-truthfully persuading Neji Hyuga.

For now, the effect was there, at least a new task was triggered.

Whether Neji Hyuga could walk out depended on his own thoughts.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Hinata Hyuga greeted him when she saw Kitazawa.

"Aren't Itachi going to train?"

Kitazawa looked at her worried expression and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Neji-niisan, how is he?"

Hinata Hyuga looked up and asked.

"I've already talked to him; if nothing goes wrong, he will train with Itachi in a while."

Kitazawa thought for a while and comforted her.

"Really?"

Hinata Hyuga's eyes lit up.

She hadn't practiced the Gentle Fist with Neji Hyuga for a long time.

They were very close when they were young, just like siblings.

It wasn't until Neji Hyuga was branded with the Caged Bird that they became strangers.

"Do Itachi think I would lie to Itachi?"

Kitazawa asked back.

"No!"

Hinata Hyuga was energized and said very sincerely, "Teacher Kitazawa, Itachi are truly amazing, even more amazing than Father!"

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, Hiashi Hyuga had already left after Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga finished their spar.

Otherwise, hearing this sentence now, he would have already spat out three liters of blood.

"Let's go, I'll take Itachi to train."

Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga came to a training ground not far away.

Ino Yamanaka and Shikamaru Nara were already training, but Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno were not there.

Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno had both gone to the artificial lake.

Because Naruto Uzumaki had to practice the Rasengan, and he created many Shadow Clones, it was easy to disturb the students in class.

So, under Kitazawa's suggestion, he went to a rather secluded small forest on the north side of the training ground.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Kiba Inuzuka ran over from afar and asked, "Can I participate in the special training?"

Kitazawa was slightly startled, which he hadn't expected.

But he didn't need a secret technique that combined with a dog!

"The prerequisite for participating in special training is not to affect your grades."

Kitazawa thought for a while and said.

"I can do it!"

Kiba Inuzuka immediately guaranteed, "If my grades drop too much in the next monthly exam, I will terminate the special training!"

"That's good."

Kitazawa nodded slightly and said, "Itachi first perform chakra control training."

The Inuzuka clan's secret technique was related to dogs, and he couldn't give any pointers.

But improving chakra control would not be wrong.

"Follow me."

Kitazawa took him to the school's artificial lake.

Sasuke Uchiha stood by the lake, trying hard to dry the water droplets on his hands.

Not far away, Sakura Haruno pressed her hands on a carp, practicing a new medical ninjutsu.

"First climb the tree, then walk on water."

Kitazawa demonstrated it once and then let Kiba Inuzuka start tree-climbing training.

After the combat class ended, it was time for school to end.

The students of Class A of the first year and Class A of the second year left in groups.

"Neji, want to go home together?"

Tenten found Neji Hyuga, who had been quiet for the whole class.

"No, thank Itachi."

Neji Hyuga shook his head and said.

"..."

Tenten wanted to say something but stopped.

"I'm fine."

Neji Hyuga looked at her and said.

Although Tenten felt he was lying, she still believed him.

After all, he was that arrogant Hyuga genius.

"See Itachi tomorrow."

Neji Hyuga turned and left the school, but as he walked, he noticed something was wrong.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga.

"Why are Itachi following me?"

Neji Hyuga was silent for two seconds and asked.

"Not following Itachi, just on the way."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "I'm just seeing Hinata home."

Neji Hyuga was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit awkward.

He turned around and continued walking forward.

When he arrived at the Hyuga clan compound, he found Hiashi Hyuga standing at the entrance.

No need to think, he was waiting for Hinata Hyuga, not him.

"Clan Head."

Neji Hyuga greeted him coldly and prepared to leave.

"Neji, come with me."

Hiashi Hyuga stopped him and said, "I have something to give Itachi."

"...?"

Neji Hyuga was stunned.

Seeing this, Kitazawa probably guessed what it was.

In the original work, Neji Hyuga could let go of his hatred, besides Naruto Uzumaki's Talk-no-Jutsu, there was also a letter from Hizashi Hyuga.

And this letter was given to Neji Hyuga by Hiashi Hyuga after the Chunin Exams.

Giving it early now must be because he saw today's spar.

This was a good thing, as it could help him complete his task.

"Hinata, see Itachi tomorrow."

Kitazawa didn't linger and turned toward the Konoha Hospital.

Now Tsunade and Shizune could be considered to be doing their own jobs.

After Kitazawa finished school, Shizune taught him medical ninjutsu at the Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade went home to study psychological medical ninjutsu related to emotional displacement with Kurenai Yuhi.
