Chapter 581

Genin cannot do missions alone; they must have a squad leader.

Chunin also cannot do missions alone, but they can team up with other Chunin to do missions.

"Kabuto, Itachi are in charge of this matter."

Kitazawa looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kabuto Yakushi immediately responded.

"Once Itachi learn the Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere, I will apply to the Hokage for Itachi to participate in the Jonin exam."

Kitazawa reached out, patted his shoulder, and said.

"Thank Itachi, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kabuto Yakushi thought to himself that it was as expected.

Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha subconsciously showed expressions of shock.

They had been Chunin for less than three months, and their teammate was already going to be promoted to Jonin?

Although they also wanted to participate in the Jonin exam, they both had self-awareness and knew they couldn't pass.

Aside from his nano-sized poisonous insects, Torune Aburame's own strength was barely Chunin level.

Izumi Uchiha could be considered an outstanding Chunin, but without the three-tomoe Sharingan, she couldn't reach Jonin strength.

"After becoming a Jonin, I will still be your teammate."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled gently and said, "And Itachi will definitely be able to become Jonin too, it will just be a little later than me."

Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha both nodded upon hearing this.

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

With Kabuto Yakushi there, he didn't have to worry about the ninja squad having disagreements or infighting.

"Although your strength is more than enough to do missions below A-rank, Itachi will occasionally encounter missions that exceed your level."

Kitazawa reminded, "If Itachi notice any problems, come find me in time."

After all, in the original story, Team 7 could encounter Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, while doing a C-rank mission.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kabuto Yakushi paused and asked, "Then shall we go to the mission hall now?"

"Itachi can."

Kitazawa nodded and added, "Remember to let me look over missions that involve going out of the village first."

"Okay."

Kabuto Yakushi left the school with Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha after saying that.

Kitazawa withdrew his gaze, intending to go to the artificial lake to practice the Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu.

But just then, three lines of text appeared before his eyes.

【Current Task: Help Shino Aburame cultivate Kikaichu with fire resistance.】

【Task Reward: Increase your own Fire Release damage resistance by 10%.】

【The host has completed the task, reward issued.】

Kitazawa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw this.

Had Shino Aburame's fire-resistant Kikaichu mutation experiment completely succeeded?

But it couldn't be called complete.

After all, only two Kikaichu that could resist conventional Fire Release had been cultivated.

One for three seconds, one for five seconds.

However, for Shino Aburame, it was already enough.

More accurately, for the entire Aburame clan, it was a qualitative leap.

In the future, they would have a greater chance of winning when facing ninjas with ordinary Fire Release.

Kitazawa clenched his fist.

He didn't feel any changes in his body.

This 10% Fire Release damage resistance could only be said to be better than nothing.

After all, with his strength, there weren't many Fire Release techniques that could hit him.

But having it is better than not having it, and the tasks still need to be done.

"Kitazawa-sensei!"

After walking a few steps, Kitazawa saw Shino Aburame, who looked excited.

Compared to his usual calm self, he was like a completely different person.

"I succeeded!"

Shino Aburame held out his hands.

In his left hand was a pile of three-second fire-resistant insects, and in his right hand was a pile of five-second fire-resistant insects.

The latter looked like larvae, as if they had just been born.

"Congratulations."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Maybe Itachi will be able to leave your name in the history of the Aburame clan in the future."

"I haven't thought that far ahead."

Shino Aburame was stunned and said, "And I didn't do much, it was mainly Kitazawa-sensei's guidance."

"No need for polite words."

Kitazawa looked at the fire-resistant insects in his hands and said, "I think the next step of the plan can be to cultivate Kikaichu with water resistance."

He had recently been practicing the Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu, so he could incidentally help Shino Aburame complete the Kikaichu mutation experiment.

"I'll listen to Kitazawa-sensei."

Shino Aburame had no objections and agreed directly.

【Current Task: Help Shino Aburame cultivate Kikaichu with Water Release resistance.】

【Task Reward: Increase your own Water Release damage resistance by 10%.】

【Do Itachi accept?】

A task that didn't need much thought.

Kitazawa chose to accept and went with Shino Aburame to the place where they had previously conducted the experiment.

Fire resistance was burned out using Fire Release ninjutsu.

Then water resistance naturally had to be washed repeatedly using Water Release ninjutsu.

After Kitazawa had Shino Aburame place the Kikaichu on the ground, he controlled his chakra and began practicing the Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu.

Tuesday soon came to an end.

After school, Kitazawa didn't leave immediately but came to the school's conference room.

Because next week was the first monthly exam of the semester.

Although the reformed genius class was very special, they still had to participate in the monthly exam.

"Principal Kitazawa."

The teachers in the conference room greeted him one after another.

"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Kitazawa walked onto the stage and sat in the main seat.

The content of the meeting didn't change much; it was still the teachers setting the questions, and he would summarize them at the end.

But there was a difference, which was that the genius class would have separate questions, or rather, take a separate set of test papers.

The reason was that the students in the genius class came from various grades.

Now that they were together, it certainly wouldn't be appropriate for them to take the first-grade test papers.

Kitazawa handed this matter over to Iruka Umino.

After all, he was the theory teacher for the genius class, so it was most appropriate for him to set the questions.

Of course, more importantly, Kitazawa didn't want to waste time on such things.

He was now the vice-principal of the ninja school and could appropriately delegate power.

There was no need to be hands-on like Naruto Uzumaki after he became Hokage.

Kitazawa's style of doing things was similar to Tsunade's; he would slack off whenever he could.

The ninja world is ultimately about strength.

Hashirama Senju's talent for being Hokage was far inferior to Tobirama Senju's, but he was still the God of Shinobi.

After the meeting ended, Kitazawa left the ninja school.

As he walked, he pondered the first monthly exam of the semester.

For this monthly exam, he only had one task, which was to help Neji Hyuga defeat Naruto Uzumaki.

Although Naruto Uzumaki had been training, his strength hadn't changed significantly in the last two months, which could be considered treading water.

Neji Hyuga, on the other hand, had learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Eight Trigrams Air Palm.

In terms of strength, Naruto Uzumaki was still superior.

However, he was young and lacked experience, so it wasn't as difficult as imagined for Neji Hyuga to defeat him once.

Kitazawa thought for a moment and felt that the key to victory lay in the Eight Trigrams Air Palm.

After all, in Naruto Uzumaki's impression, Gentle Fist was close-quarters combat; he wouldn't think there was also a long-range Gentle Fist.

"For the remaining week, I can give Neji targeted practical special training."

Kitazawa touched his chin and thought to himself.

The next day, Wednesday.

At nine in the morning, the students of the genius class gathered on the playground.

"I have an announcement."

Kitazawa faced everyone and said, "Next Thursday and Friday, the first monthly exam of this semester will be held."

"Has it already been a month?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "It feels like time passed so quickly."

"Fast? I only feel like every day is like a year."

Shikamaru Nara said listlessly.

When he was in Class A of the first grade, he could slack off during class.

After becoming the genius class, only Monday was for class, and the other four days were all training; he had no way to slack off even if he wanted to.

After all, Kitazawa's shadow clones would keep an eye on him.

"It is indeed a bit fast; if there were half a month more, I could learn two more Water Release ninjutsu."

Sakura Haruno said with a look of regret.

She had only barely mastered the Water Release: Water Colliding Wave.

And one Water Release: Water Colliding Wave wasn't enough to defeat Ino Yamanaka.

"Don't think I don't know what Itachi're thinking."

Ino Yamanaka raised her hand and elbowed her in the waist, "I've learned two ninjutsu tailored for me by Kitazawa-sensei!"

"Itachi actually have two?"
