Chapter 594: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I am Tsunade's Student, Chapter 384

"Teacher Kitazawa has started drawing lots again; I wonder who will be drawn for the fourth match."

Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and said.

"It's time for me to show off my skills!"

Kiba Inuzuka immediately looked at Kitazawa.

"First round, fourth match, live combat: Sakura Haruno versus Tenten."

Kitazawa announced.

"It's over!"

As soon as Sakura Haruno heard her opponent was Tenten, she knew she would lose.

Tenten specialized in throwing ninja tools; although it wasn't ninjutsu, it was better than ninjutsu, and they were all large-scale area-of-effect attacks.

The only ninjutsu she knew was Water Style: Water Wave.

Sakura Haruno sighed again that the time she spent learning Water Style was too short.

If she could master Water Style: Water Wall, her chances of winning would be much higher.

"Sakura, do your best!"

Ino Yamanaka clenched her fists and said: "Don't lose too quickly!"

"Hmph, maybe I'll be the one to win!"

Sakura Haruno glared at her and walked into the arena with a fierce momentum.

"Tenten, burn your youth!"

Rock Lee's teeth flashed as he said this.

"..."

Tenten turned her head directly and looked at Neji Hyuga.

"Be careful."

Neji Hyuga said in a calm tone.

Tenten nodded and walked to the opposite side of Sakura Haruno.

The battle began.

Tenten immediately took out a scroll.

As soon as the scroll opened, all kinds of ninja tools were continuously thrown out.

Water Style: Water Wave!

Sakura Haruno stood in place and performed hand seals.

She leaned her body back and spat out a high-pressure stream of water from her mouth.

Although Water Style: Water Wave was a basic C-rank Water Style ninjutsu, its power depended on the output of chakra.

As long as there was enough chakra, it could even destroy a forest.

Of course, this approach seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.

Using high-level Water Style ninjutsu could also destroy a forest, and it didn't require that much chakra.

Dull sounds rang out continuously.

Under the washing of the high-pressure water stream, Tenten's ninja tools were knocked flying one after another and fell to the ground.

But Sakura Haruno didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before the shuriken on the ground suddenly leaped up.

Shuriken Manipulation Jutsu!

Tenten controlled the rubber strings with both hands, causing four shuriken to cross in front of Sakura Haruno.

Sakura Haruno panicked in her heart and subconsciously performed hand seals.

Water appeared out of thin air, surrounding her.

But in less than a second, it suddenly dissipated.

Her Water Style: Water Wall was not proficient, and coupled with her unstable mindset, she ultimately failed to use it.

Kitazawa appeared behind Sakura Haruno using a Body Flicker Jutsu.

He grabbed her shoulders and dodged the incoming shuriken just in time.

"Winner, Tenten."

Kitazawa put Sakura Haruno down and said.

"Was that the teacher's Water Style: Water Wall?"

Although Tenten won, Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored her directly, his gaze falling on Sakura Haruno.

The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Water Style: Water Wall was different.

A general Water Style: Water Wall defended one side, but his Water Style: Water Wall surrounded the surroundings, defending everything.

The Water Style: Water Wall that Sakura Haruno just used was clearly the latter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was thoughtful.

He had heard Kitazawa's report on the genius class, among which Kosuke Maruboshi led the Water Style study group.

This Sakura Haruno most likely learned the Water Style: Water Wall from Kosuke Maruboshi.

She learned one and a half Water Style ninjutsu in a month?

She hadn't mastered Water Style: Water Wall, so it counted as half.

This was undoubtedly a Water Style genius!

Hiruzen Sarutobi still remembered that this Sakura Haruno had learned medical ninjutsu and was serving as an intern at the Konoha Hospital.

A Water Style user and a medical ninja?

Sakura Haruno was also from a civilian background, which made him feel even more pleasantly surprised.

Sakura Haruno was still from a commoner background, which made him feel even more pleasantly surprised.

After all, ninjas from ninja clans were easy to succeed, and it was normal for them to achieve something.

But for a ninja from a civilian background, having one powerhouse was a "golden legend."

Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to his senses and thought of Tenten.

Compared to the last final exam, her progress was not small; she had learned the Shuriken Manipulation Jutsu.

But how to put it?

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that she relied too much on ninja tools and might not necessarily become a powerhouse.

After all, the lethality of ninja tools was limited.

The Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu he created was already the limit.

Unless Tenten could possess the legendary Six Paths ninja tools.

But that was impossible.

"It's a good thing Itachi only know one Water Style ninjutsu."

Tenten patted her chest and said.

"It might not be the case for the next monthly exam!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists and said.

"How is your speed of learning Water Style so fast?"

Kiba Inuzuka felt surprised.

It had only been a month, and Sakura Haruno had almost mastered two Water Style ninjutsu.

And Water Style: Water Wall was a B-rank ninjutsu.

"Because she is learning medical ninjutsu, her chakra control is very strong, so she is naturally suited for learning Water Style ninjutsu."

After Ino Yamanaka finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

If this continued, she would sooner or later be surpassed by Sakura Haruno.

"Ino."

Sakura Haruno heard this and a smile appeared on her face as she said: "I look forward to a battle with Itachi in the next monthly exam."

"It won't be that easy for Itachi to win against me!"

Ino Yamanaka put her hands on her hips and retorted tit-for-tat: "The one who loses next time will definitely be Itachi!"

Although she was fearless on the surface, six big words appeared in her heart: Teacher Kitazawa, save me.

"Water Style?"

Shino Aburame thought of the parasitic insect mutation experiment he was conducting.

If it could succeed, he wouldn't need to worry too much about Sakura Haruno's Water Style.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Sakura Haruno.

Her Water Style did restrain his Fire Style.

Fortunately, he didn't just have Fire Style; he also had genjutsu and swordsmanship, so Sakura Haruno didn't pose any threat.

"First round, fifth match, live combat: Choji Akimichi versus..."

The exam continued, but the subsequent live combat was not that exciting.

Hinata Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Kiba Inuzuka's opponents were all students who had newly joined the genius class.

Although they were all upper-grade students, they were quickly defeated when facing them.

There were fifteen of them: the Konoha 12, plus Karin, Hana Inuzuka, and Yakumo Kurama.

The first round ended, and except for Karin, the other fourteen performed very well.

But Karin couldn't be blamed.

She learned sealing jutsu and was not good at fighting.

"Start the second round after a fifteen-minute break."

After Kitazawa announced this, the people in the genius class sat on the playground to rest one after another.

Because they had all gone through a fierce battle, they didn't care whether the playground was dirty or not; recovering chakra as quickly as possible was the top priority.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the resting crowd and couldn't help but nod.

It was no exaggeration to say that after a month of study, every student in the genius class had made progress.

The ones who made the most progress were Sasuke Uchiha, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, and Shikamaru Nara.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised, he also felt it was within reason.

They were basically all from ninja clans, and their own talents were not bad, so it was normal for them to make progress.

After all, there were so many students in the Ninja Academy, it was normal to have a few geniuses.

But what really surprised Hiruzen Sarutobi were those students who had newly joined the genius class.

Their talent, to be honest, was very average; if they were lucky, they could mix into a Special Jonin in the future, but most of them had the upper limit of a Chunin.

However, their progress in this month was also obvious.

Especially the Three Basic Jutsu, which had all reached the standard for graduation.

The only explanation was that the three teachers, Kitazawa, Kosuke Maruboshi, and Kakashi Hatake, had played a huge role.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt more and more that establishing the genius class was a very correct move.

Over time, the average level of the Hidden Leaf Village would improve significantly.

If Kitazawa knew his thoughts, he would tell him that this was the importance of basic education.

Did the Hidden Leaf Village value basic education?

In fact, not particularly.
