Chapter 417: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I'm Tsunade's Student, Chapter 259
"Sasuke and Naruto came up with them."
Kitazawa paused and added, "The teachers at the ninja school didn't intervene."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed upon hearing this.
These students are all excellent successors of the Will of Fire!
The knowledge competition was divided into morning and afternoon halves.
Because many people signed up, basically all the students in the school signed up, and one morning wasn't enough.
"Let's just watch until here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi watched for half the morning, about two hours.
"I'll see Itachi off."
Kitazawa wasn't surprised.
The Hokage is so busy; it's impossible to waste a whole day on a small matter like a knowledge competition.
"Lord Hokage, what do Itachi think of how they handled this event?"
Kitazawa asked proactively.
"Although there are some flaws, for their age, it can already be called perfect."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a full face of smiles.
"I will convey your words to them."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "They will definitely be happy for several days."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "That they can have such a performance is still your credit."
"I just did some insignificant things."
Kitazawa said modestly.
"Now it seems that the existence of the student council is indeed very necessary for the ninja school."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped his steps and said, "It can exist forever."
"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage."
Kitazawa breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
After getting the Hokage's personal promise, his task could be considered truly settled.
"Lord Hokage, then when is the student council member selection scheduled?"
Kitazawa asked again.
"What do Itachi think about using the selection to replace the final actual combat exam?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered slightly and asked back.
"This semester?"
Kitazawa was slightly stunned and asked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
He had been paying attention to Naruto Uzumaki and was very clear about his progress with the Rasengan.
By the time of the final exam, he would basically be able to master it.
With the Rasengan, Naruto Uzumaki's first place would be more stable, and he wouldn't be afraid even if students from higher grades participated.
"Okay."
Kitazawa paused and asked again, "Lord Hokage, who do Itachi think is more suitable to be the president of the student council?"
"In this event, Naruto performed very well; of course, Sasuke and the others are also not bad."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle, "As for who will be the president, it will be decided by the selection at that time."
I believe Itachi, ghost!
Kitazawa had already understood his meaning.
He was more inclined toward Naruto Uzumaki being the student council president; otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned him first.
"I'm leaving first; Itachi don't need to see me off; go back and continue to be busy with the event."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot directly.
Kitazawa withdrew his gaze and turned back to the event site.
He subconsciously glanced at the very active Naruto Uzumaki.
Because he was the head of the Outreach Department, he didn't participate in answering questions, but served as a judge and scorekeeper.
At twelve noon, the knowledge competition paused, and everyone seized the time to eat lunch and rest.
At two in the afternoon, the knowledge competition continued, and three hours later, the knowledge competition came to an end.
"Please have the students who answered ten questions correctly take the stage!"
Hana Inuzuka shouted, "Your prizes will be awarded by Teacher Kitazawa!"
After she finished speaking, seven students took the stage in order.
Kitazawa walked onto the stage, took a glance, and found he only recognized one person, which was Sakura Haruno.
"Shikamaru, the questions Itachi came up with were simply too difficult!"
Ino Yamanaka complained.
She and Sakura Haruno both participated in answering questions, but she stopped at the eighth one.
"Indeed."
Choji Akimichi scratched his head and said, "I answered five questions correctly."
"That's because Itachi don't listen in class."
Shikamaru Nara retorted, "Only the last two questions were the ones I came up with."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Choji Akimichi smiled embarrassedly.
"Answering five questions correctly is already very amazing; I only answered two correctly."
Rock Lee clenched his fists and said, "My youth is still too weak! After the event ends, I'll go run fifty more laps!"
"Is there any connection between the two?"
Kiba Inuzuka said with a headache upon hearing this, "Don't associate everything with youth!"
"Neji is a pity; he was just one question away from answering all of them correctly."
A look of regret appeared on Tenten's face.
"It's nothing."
Neji Hyuga said calmly, "Participation is what matters."
"It's ending; I'm really a bit reluctant."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Kitazawa awarding prizes to the seven students and felt a rare touch of melancholy.
"It's okay."
Shikamaru Nara patted his shoulder and said, "This isn't the last event."
"That's true!"
Naruto Uzumaki's melancholy came and went quickly, "The next event will definitely be even livelier!"
"When is the next event?"
Tenten asked curiously.
Participating in events is fun and has prizes, and there's a holiday; compared to class, it's truly happy.
"Don't know."
Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "That depends on Teacher Kitazawa's arrangements."
"Teacher Kitazawa is calling Itachi student council members."
Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and reminded.
"Let's go!"
Naruto Uzumaki walked onto the stage quickly.
Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, and Rock Lee followed closely behind.
Shikamaru Nara, Sakura Haruno, and others were not student council members, so they didn't go up.
"I announce the successful conclusion of the student council's first event!"
Kitazawa said loudly.
Enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience immediately.
"Thank Itachi, everyone!"
Naruto Uzumaki ran around on the stage excitedly.
Listening to the cheers of so many people, he felt his life had reached its peak.
Because gaining the recognition of everyone had always been his dream.
Now the dream could be considered partially completed.
Sasuke Uchiha's mouth curled slightly, suppressing the urge to laugh out loud.
His thoughts were somewhat similar to Naruto Uzumaki's, but also different.
What Sasuke Uchiha wanted wasn't the recognition of everyone, but the praise of everyone.
Unfortunately, these praises were for the student council, not for him alone.
Kitazawa glanced at him.
Children don't know how to hide their emotions.
He saw at once that Sasuke Uchiha was secretly happy.
Kitazawa's heart moved.
Embarrassed emotions can make Sasuke Uchiha open his eyes; naturally, happy emotions can too.
Then what is something that can make Sasuke Uchiha happy enough to open his eyes?
Kitazawa touched his chin.
The first thing he thought of was first place in the monthly exam.
Because Sasuke Uchiha hadn't gotten first place in a long time.
If there were such a monthly exam where Sasuke Uchiha strongly defeated Yakumo Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki and the others, wouldn't there be many emotions?
Of course, it would also have to include the praise of everyone, such as Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha.
But the problem is that such a monthly exam is basically hard to appear.
Besides happy emotions, there are also painful emotions.
Sasuke Uchiha's two consecutive losses in the monthly exam had increased his strength quite a bit.
And the longer the suppression, the more intense the explosion.
Kitazawa felt he could add a sparring session to the actual combat class, letting Sasuke Uchiha get beaten from time to time.
