Chapter 349

The reason he asked this was because Hiruzen Sarutobi had come during the final exam of the previous semester.

Other students immediately showed anticipation upon hearing this.

It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's popularity in the Hidden Leaf Village is high.

He hasn't been Hokage for so many years for nothing.

"Not the Hokage, but Master Tsunade."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

"Master Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin?"

"She is the Hokage's student; if I perform well, maybe the Hokage will know too."

"And Master Tsunade doesn't have any students!"

The students of Class 1-A started fantasizing one after another.

"Master Tsunade is actually coming?"

Sakura Haruno asked with excitement, "Teacher Kitazawa, is the practical exam testing medical ninjutsu?"

She was a child after all, and was very envious seeing Ino Yamanaka and the others fighting fiercely.

But setting aside medical ninjutsu, her combat ability hadn't improved at all.

"Sakura."

Ino Yamanaka teased, "How could it test medical ninjutsu?"

"Alright."

Sakura Haruno also knew it was impossible.

In fact, being able to come into contact with medical ninjutsu in the first grade was already a stroke of great luck.

Sakura Haruno had always wanted to repay Kitazawa, but her parents were both civilian ninjas and couldn't provide any valuable ninjutsu.

The only way was to see what Kitazawa needed, and she would try her best to fulfill it.

"Time is up, prepare for the exam."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "Although Master Tsunade is only coming tomorrow, the ranking of the theoretical exam will be announced in front of her."

The students of Class 1-A immediately became serious.

"Shikamaru, what rank do Itachi plan to get this time?"

Ino Yamanaka asked curiously.

Sakura Haruno also looked at Shikamaru Nara upon hearing this.

Last final exam, he made rapid progress, causing her to lose first place.

Undoubtedly, Shikamaru Nara was her biggest opponent in the theoretical exam.

Others like Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha were all a notch below her.

Unless it was a special situation, Sakura Haruno was confident she could beat them, but Shikamaru Nara was hard to say.

"Let's get in the top ten."

Shikamaru Nara said casually.

Last final exam, he could be considered to have gone all out, but it was just too tiring.

This monthly exam, Kitazawa had no requirements for him, he just needed to deal with his parents.

It's just that since he had already gotten first place before, getting sixty points again would be quite fake, so top ten was just right, saving a lot of effort.

"…"

Sakura Haruno didn't know what to say for a moment.

She originally thought she was a super top student in theory, but she didn't expect Shikamaru Nara to be even more outrageous, capable of precisely controlling his score.

Forget it, she couldn't compare to a monster; she'd just get whatever score she could.

"Sasuke-kun, let's work hard together!"

Sakura Haruno turned her head, clenched her fists, and said.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at her calmly.

Although first place in the theoretical exam is important, he could only try his best.

In his view, the focus was still the practical exam.

Letting Naruto Uzumaki take first place in the last final exam had always been a thorn in his side.

But this monthly exam, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake, because he already possessed the Sharingan.

Just testing the waters earlier had already defeated the strongest of the second year, Neji Hyuga, and Naruto Uzumaki would be no exception.

As long as he got first place in the practical exam and could get in the top three in the theoretical exam, first place overall wouldn't run away.

"Start answering the questions now."

Kitazawa said after hearing the bell ring.

The students of Class 1-A picked up their pens upon hearing this.

After leaving a shadow clone behind, Kitazawa came to the school's training ground.

This monthly exam, he had no tasks and didn't need to take the test together.

Since that was the case, there was no need to waste time being a proctor; seizing the time to learn Wind Release ninjutsu was the priority.

At 11: 0 AM, the theoretical exam ended, and the bell for the end of class rang.

Kitazawa glanced at the teaching building and continued practicing Wind Release.

He performed hand seals and spat out several linear wind blades.

The next second, the rock in front of him was cut into a dozen pieces, and the cuts were very smooth.

This was Wind Release: Vacuum Wave.

But Kitazawa had a doubt: why was it a wave and not a cut?

"Tea… Teacher Kitazawa."

A timid voice sounded.

Kitazawa turned around and saw Hinata Hyuga.

She was standing not far away, her hands tightly clasped in front of her chest, looking a bit nervous.

"Come here."

Kitazawa beckoned to her with a smile.

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward.

"Are Itachi going back after lunch, or going back to have lunch?"

Kitazawa patted her head and asked.

"Going back after lunch!"

Hinata Hyuga said without hesitation.

But after saying this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face again.

"What's wrong? Hinata."

Kitazawa noticed her expression and asked with confusion.

"I… can I not go back?"

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head, gathered her courage, and said, "I want to continue training in the afternoon."

"That's fine too."

Kitazawa thought of her task and said, "The afternoon training will be changed to practical special training, and I'll let Itachi get familiar with genjutsu then."

"Yes!"

Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"So cute."

Kitazawa reached out, pinched her cheek, and said.

Hinata Hyuga's small face turned slightly red, but she didn't dodge.

Time came to 5: 0 PM.

After Kitazawa sent Hinata Hyuga home, he dispelled the shadow clone.

The results of the theoretical exam for Class 1-A flooded into his mind.

Compared to the last final exam, the biggest change was Shikamaru Nara.

He dropped from first place to tenth, while Sakura Haruno returned to first place.

The top ten had a new face, Yakumo Kurama, who was exactly ninth.

Being absent for a semester and still getting ninth place was enough to show her intelligence and diligence.

Naruto Uzumaki was still twelfth, just like last time.

But this time he didn't fall behind Kiba Inuzuka.

Kiba Inuzuka probably dropped in rank to thirteenth because he was busy with tree-climbing and water-walking training.

Kitazawa felt he could slightly limit his training time.

One reason was that it indeed affected his grades.

The second reason was that he didn't have any tasks on him.

A new day, Tuesday, which was the practical exam.

All the students of Class 1-A gathered on the ninja school playground on time.

Although Kitazawa was also the homeroom teacher for Class 2-A, his focus was still on Class 1-A.

Class 2-A could be left to Isamu Yamada to handle.

"Master Tsunade."

Kitazawa saw Tsunade and Shizune not long after he arrived and hurried to meet them.

"Don't Itachi call me Senior Sister anymore?"

Shizune, holding Tonton, asked faintly.

"Senior Sister Shizune."

Kitazawa blinked and said with a smile, "My medical ninjutsu is still a notch below yours."

Shizune couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Saying a notch isn't actually accurate, because the gap between them is just one medical ninjutsu, Creation Rebirth.

As long as Kitazawa learns Creation Rebirth, they would be on par in terms of the number of medical ninjutsu mastered.

With his talent, learning Creation Rebirth is just a matter of time.

So what should she teach him next?

Strength of a Hundred Seal?

Shizune doesn't even know it herself and can only rely on Tsunade to teach him.

And once the Strength of a Hundred Seal is taught, even if they aren't teacher and student, they would be.

"Master Tsunade!"

The students of Class 1-A became excited one after another.

The students from other classes not far away were all shocked and envious.

The final exam of the previous semester had Hiruzen Sarutobi, and this monthly exam had Tsunade.

The treatment of Class 1-A was so good it made them feel unbelievable.
