Chapter 556: Genius Class and Teaching According to Aptitude

"Do Itachi have any questions?"

Kitazawa asked after explaining what the Genius Class was.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Shikamaru Nara raised his hand and asked: "Will the personnel of the Genius Class change?"

"Yes, the Genius Class will adopt a bottom-ranking challenge system."

Kitazawa explained: "The bottom ten students of each monthly exam will accept challenges from students in other classes; if they fail, they will swap places with them."

"What a drag."

Shikamaru Nara sighed and said.

This meant he had to stay in the top twenty.

Now that the Genius Class was full of geniuses, and there were even many fifth and sixth-grade students, the difficulty for him to enter the top twenty had increased a lot.

"Is it really that cruel?"

Kiba Inuzuka widened his eyes.

At the same time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Thanks to the Hell Dog Kitazawa had given him, otherwise, he wouldn't have had the confidence to stay in the Genius Class.

"Youth is about not fearing challenges!"

Rock Lee clenched his fists, looking excited.

"Lee is right!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said with a face full of smiles: "Youth and challenge are the perfect match!"

Sasuke Uchiha quickly scanned the new students who had joined Year 1 Class A.

A moment later, he felt relieved.

Because aside from Neji Hyuga, none of them posed a threat to him.

This Genius Class was actually about the same as before; anyway, the ones competing for first place were just those few.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Ino Yamanaka waved her hand and asked curiously: "What will we learn in the future?"

The students in the Genius Class now ranged from first grade to sixth grade.

Whether it was theory or practical combat, their learning progress was different.

This made her unable to understand.

Could it be that they were going to learn new courses uniformly?

"We will tailor learning plans for each of Itachi based on your strength."

Kitazawa paused and said: "This is also the advantage of the Genius Class compared to other classes—letting Itachi get stronger faster."

"Doesn't this become the same mode as a ninja squad?"

Sakura Haruno felt a certain sense of déjà vu.

"My relaxing ninja academy life is over."

Shikamaru Nara felt his vision go dark upon hearing this.

Everyone had a different learning plan, so it would be impossible for him to slack off like before; this was simply... a bleak future.

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.

He felt that this method was quite good for a genius like him, saving unnecessary time.

After all, he had already mastered most of what was taught in the ninja academy.

"Teacher Kitazawa, do we not have to do problems anymore?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked excitedly.

"The learning plan includes theory and practical combat; Iruka will teach Itachi theory."

Kitazawa glanced at him and said.

"So we still have to do problems."

Naruto Uzumaki's expression froze, and he became very dejected.

"Youth fears nothing; what's so scary about mere problems?"

Rock Lee patted his shoulder and said with full fighting spirit.

After transferring to Year 1 Class A, he had become Naruto Uzumaki's desk mate.

"That's true!"

Naruto Uzumaki's spirits lifted and he said.

"Lee, Itachi're last in every theory exam."

Tenten couldn't help but complain.

"...?"

Naruto Uzumaki subconsciously looked at Rock Lee.

"I tried my best!"

Rock Lee said as a matter of course: "That in itself is not failing youth!"

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kiba Inuzuka glanced at Hana Inuzuka and asked: "How do students in the Genius Class graduate? Is the standard still the Three Basic Jutsu?"

"Not the Three Basic Jutsu, but a practical combat assessment."

Kitazawa chuckled and said: "As for how to graduate, it's about the same as before; Itachi can apply after reaching the age of twelve."

"Can't we graduate early?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked again.

"Itachi can graduate early."

Kitazawa nodded and said: "If Itachi think your strength meets the standard, Itachi can apply; it's still a practical combat assessment."

Sasuke Uchiha's heart stirred upon hearing this.
