Chapter 362
He felt something went wrong?
Didn't activate the Sharingan, couldn't get first; activated the Sharingan, still couldn't get first; wasn't this Sharingan activated in vain?
No, that's not right; this time there wasn't even second place; last time at least there was a second place.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke felt even more sulky.
"Kitazawa-senpai."
Umino Iruka handed over the roster and said: "This is the ranking for this monthly exam."
"Thank Itachi for your hard work, Iruka."
Kitazawa took the roster and walked towards Class 1-A.
All the students stopped talking consciously and looked at him.
"I will announce the theory exam rankings first."
Kitazawa said unhurriedly: "First place, Haruno Sakura."
"Too..."
Haruno Sakura stopped halfway.
After all, Uchiha Sasuke didn't get first place; if she showed too much excitement, it would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire.
"Second place, Uchiha Sasuke... twelfth place, Uzumaki Naruto, thirteenth place, Inuzuka Kiba..."
Kitazawa continued to read.
"Damn it, how did I become thirteenth?"
Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but hold his head and said painfully: "Thirteenth is fine, but I'm also one place lower than Naruto."
"Kiba, remember to treat me to Ichiraku Ramen!"
Uzumaki Naruto said happily.
Getting first in the practical exam, exceeding Inuzuka Kiba in the theory exam, and getting free Ichiraku Ramen, it was just too happy!
"Damn it!"
Inuzuka Kiba clenched his fists and said: "Wait until I have a suitable ninja dog, then I'll teach Itachi a lesson!"
"Now announcing the practical exam rankings."
Kitazawa turned another page of the roster.
"Here it comes!"
Uzumaki Naruto felt a surge of spirit, and anticipation appeared on his face.
"First place, Uzumaki Naruto."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
Uzumaki Naruto held his forehead and said proudly: "I'm first place again!"
"...?"
Uchiha Sasuke had a face full of question marks.
Why are Itachi imitating me?
This is clearly my action!
"Second place, Kurama Yakumo."
Kitazawa read again.
Kurama Yakumo was relatively calm.
For her, no matter what place it was, it was the same; the most important thing was being able to go to school normally.
However, Uzumaki Naruto just now gave her great encouragement.
Her body had now recovered, and it was time to work harder.
"Third place, Hyuga Hinata."
Kitazawa paused and said: "Fourth place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but take half a step back.
Fourth place, what a shameful ranking!
He used to be indifferent to second place, but now he found second place wasn't bad either.
No!
As an Uchiha, his goal should be first place!
"The rankings for the theory exam and practical exam are over; next is the official overall ranking."
Kitazawa took a look, a bit surprised, but still announced: "First place, Hyuga Hinata."
"Eh?"
Hyuga Hinata, who had always been very quiet, subconsciously raised her head, her face full of surprise.
"The final first place is actually Hinata?"
Yamanaka Ino asked, not expecting it at all.
"Hinata was third in both the theory exam and practical exam."
Nara Shikamaru analyzed and said: "Although Naruto was first in the practical exam, his theory exam ranking was average; Sakura is the same."
"That's true."
Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but smile and said: "This is called being strong overall is being truly strong."
In their view, Hyuga Hinata getting first place had some luck involved.
After all, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke were higher than her in the theory exam, and Uzumaki Naruto and Kurama Yakumo were higher than her in the practical exam.
"Second place, Uchiha Sasuke."
After Kitazawa finished reading, everyone was stunned again.
Nara Shikamaru explained as usual.
The main problem was that Uzumaki Naruto and Kurama Yakumo's theory exam rankings were much lower than Uchiha Sasuke's.
"I'm actually second place?"
Uchiha Sasuke had a joy of regaining what was lost.
But he soon reacted.
Second place, what am I happy about? Why should I be happy?
The smile on Uchiha Sasuke's face solidified and became expressionless again.
"Rankings announced; the grade-wide rankings will be posted tomorrow; Itachi can go see them if Itachi're interested."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and reminded: "Don't forget tomorrow is Wednesday, and there is class."
"Come over to collect your report cards now."
Umino Iruka shouted not far away: "Itachi can go home after collecting your report cards!"
The students of Class 1-A immediately crowded forward.
Some were happy, and some were sad.
Kitazawa stood in place waiting.
"Kitazawa-sensei, let's go."
Uzumaki Naruto held his report card and said with a smile: "Just in time to let Grandpa Third see my grades!"
"The Hokage should be very happy."
Kitazawa smiled and said.
Compared to the Hiruzen Sarutobi in the original work, the current Hiruzen Sarutobi was too worry-free.
After all, that Uzumaki Naruto had poor grades and caused trouble every day, even daring to graffiti on the Hokage Rock.
The two arrived at the Hokage's office.
Kitazawa was just about to knock on the door, but Uzumaki Naruto pushed the door and ran in.
Did he learn this from Tsunade?
"Grandpa Third!"
Uzumaki Naruto said excitedly: "Look at my report card!"
"Hokage-sama."
Kitazawa followed closely and greeted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly in response and looked at Uzumaki Naruto's report card.
A theory exam score of thirteen was nothing, but first in the practical exam made him feel surprised.
Because he remembered there was also a Kurama Yakumo in Class 1-A.
Due to the need to build a psychological medical ninja system, Hiruzen Sarutobi had conducted extremely detailed investigations into the core figures.
In other words, he was very clear about how powerful Kurama Yakumo's Kekkei Genkai was.
Under normal circumstances, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't defeat her with just taijutsu and the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"How did Itachi defeat Yakumo?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously.
"It was like this!"
Uzumaki Naruto recounted his battle with Kurama Yakumo very excitedly.
Although he added some embellishments, it was mostly the same as the facts.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied.
But not satisfied with Uzumaki Naruto's strength, but satisfied with his fighting will.
This kind of fighting will, without exaggeration, had the potential of a Hokage.
"Grandpa Third, there is one thing that is very strange."
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head and said: "I was able to break Yakumo's genjutsu because an orange tail whipped me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze froze.
He naturally knew who that tail belonged to.
"Grandpa Third."
Uzumaki Naruto asked with anticipation: "What's going on with that tail?"
"I have some clues, but I still need to confirm."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression didn't change, and he said with a smile: "After I confirm, I will come find Itachi."
"Grandpa Third, then I'll wait for Itachi!"
Uzumaki Naruto didn't feel disappointed; instead, he was very happy.
"Naruto, Itachi go back first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kitazawa and said: "I have some things to discuss with your teacher."
"Goodbye Grandpa Third, goodbye Kitazawa-sensei."
Uzumaki Naruto left the Hokage's office with his report card.
"Kitazawa."
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and asked: "How is your progress with Tsunade?"
Kitazawa was stunned.
