Chapter 403

As soon as Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga and the others arrived at the training ground, they saw Sasuke Uchiha in the midst of a fiery trial.

He had his Sharingan activated, jumping up and down on the spot, occasionally letting out a muffled groan.

This was the sound he made involuntarily after being hit by the leaves.

Under the enhancement of Wind Release chakra, the leaves were no less effective than ordinary kunai.

Of course, to avoid hurting Sasuke Uchiha, Kitazawa had removed the cutting property of the Wind Release chakra, retaining only the speed.

"This looks similar to Hinata's leaf training before."

Shikamaru Nara said thoughtfully, "It should be training aimed at the Sharingan."

"The Sharingan is divided into one-tomoe, two-tomoe, and three-tomoe."

Ino Yamanaka asked in surprise, "Could it be that Sasuke is going to awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan?"

"Is the two-tomoe Sharingan very powerful?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously.

"After awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan, it's equivalent to having the strength of a Chunin."

Neji Hyuga said in a deep voice.

A sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Sasuke Uchiha was one of his targets for challenge.

After all, he had once defeated him.

Neji Hyuga had planned to challenge him again after his Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms became more refined.

But clearly, he was progressing, and Sasuke Uchiha was also progressing.

"Chunin?!"

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He wasn't even a Genin yet, and Sasuke Uchiha was already aiming for Chunin?

"As expected of my lifelong rival!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "So youthful and passionate, I can't lose!"

"If we keep talking, Teacher Kitazawa will notice us."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses and reminded them.

Although he wasn't a student at the ninja academy, because he trained with Ino Yamanaka and the others, he was also called by Naruto Uzumaki to attend the meeting.

"Teacher Kitazawa will definitely notice our strangeness, just remember not to let anything slip."

Shikamaru Nara looked at Hinata Hyuga and said, "Especially Hinata."

"I... I will try my best!"

Hinata Hyuga clasped her hands and said nervously.

"Hinata, go for it!"

Ino Yamanaka waved her small fist and said, "Itachi will definitely be able to complete your mission!"

Her mission wasn't to not let anything slip, but to find out what Kitazawa liked.

"Don't worry."

Sakura Haruno patted her chest and said, "It doesn't matter if your mission fails, there's still me!"

She and Hinata Hyuga had received the same mission.

The reason was that she also spent a lot of time with Kitazawa.

Although it was basically at the Konoha Hospital.

"Actually, I can do this mission too!"

Naruto Uzumaki said, eager to try.

"Itachi can't."

Shikamaru Nara mocked, "Itachi're too easy to expose!"

"That's true."

Ino Yamanaka thought of when they had surrounded Tsunade, and the first one to be exposed was Naruto Uzumaki.

"Alright."

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said.

"Time's up, everyone get to your positions and start training."

Shino Aburame, who had no presence, said his first and last sentence.

Hearing this, everyone didn't say anything more and immediately dispersed on the spot.

Kiba Inuzuka went to the artificial lake alone.

Sasuke Uchiha started his new training, so he didn't need to go to the artificial lake anymore.

Sakura Haruno could train anywhere, so she chose to stay and accompany Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto Uzumaki ran to his personal training ground, full of energy.

Sasuke Uchiha was working so hard, he couldn't fall behind.

He had to complete the training of the Rasengan before the final exam.

Ino Yamanaka continued to practice the Mind Clone Switch Technique.

The effect of the Mind Clone Switch Technique was the same as the Mind Transfer Jutsu, but it could control two people at the same time.

Because it required multitasking, the difficulty was very high.

But Shikamaru Nara's second secret technique, Shadow Tentacles, wasn't that difficult.

After studying for so long, he had finally reached the final stage.

Maybe he could succeed in learning it today.

Compared to the Shadow Possession Jutsu, Shadow Tentacles were more flexible and had more uses.

Shikamaru Nara felt that if he learned Shadow Tentacles, his ranking in the practical exam might go up by one or two spots.

Hinata Hyuga glanced at Kitazawa and practiced the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms by herself.

In the distance, Neji Hyuga was also practicing the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

He could already strike eight palms in a row and was moving towards the goal of ten palms.

Karin sat at her desk and started tutoring, while Kabuto Yakushi found a tree and practiced Wind Release: Shuriken.

"Te... Teacher Kitazawa, I... I have no strength left..."

Two hours later, Sasuke Uchiha sat on the ground without any image.

He was covered in sweat and felt that his body had reached its limit, and even his breathing had a burning sensation.

Besides that, his eyes were also extremely tired, and his vision was even quite blurry.

"It seems that not only your Sharingan, but your body also needs to be strengthened."

Kitazawa looked at him and said thoughtfully.

Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously raised his head.

Mentioning strengthening his body, he immediately thought of Might Guy.

Could it be...?

"From now on, Itachi will do leaf training in the morning and go find Guy for physical exercise in the afternoon."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

No! Don't!

Sasuke Uchiha's expression froze, and his body felt hot in the middle of winter.

The thing he least wanted to see had ultimately become reality.

But for the two-tomoe Sharingan, he... endured it!

"Itachi can go find Guy once Itachi've rested."

Kitazawa noticed his expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"...?"

Sasuke Uchiha wanted to say something but stopped.

Did Itachi do this on purpose?

But he didn't dare to ask more, fearing that Kitazawa would force him to wear a green spandex suit.

【Current mission: Help Shikamaru Nara learn the second secret technique of his clan.】

【Mission reward: Shadow Tentacles.】

【Host has completed the mission, reward issued.】

Kitazawa let out a soft "oh" and subconsciously looked at Shikamaru Nara.

He saw his shadow, under his control, turn into two arms that looked human but weren't.

According to the information given by the system, Kitazawa also knew that with sufficient chakra, more tentacles could be split off.

Theoretically, even a thousand hands wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, the average Nara clan member would only split off a few hands.

"Congratulations, Shikamaru."

Kitazawa stepped forward and said, "Being able to master two secret techniques at your age is already a genius among geniuses."

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa."

Shikamaru Nara dispelled the ninjutsu, shook his head, and said, "I'm not a genius, Sasuke and Naruto and the others are."
