Chapter 640: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I

Thinking about it, he was only seven years old; he was still too young.

He had been able to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan previously because they did not involve chakra nature transformation.

"Let's put Wind Style: Rasengan aside for now. I'll teach Itachi a simpler Wind Style ninjutsu: Wind Style: Gale Palm."

Kitazawa did not force Naruto to train in it.

Although Naruto possessed the protagonist's halo and might have been able to learn it, there was no need to waste so much time in vain.

"Can't I try it again?"

Naruto asked, feeling unwilling to give up.

The Wind Style: Rasengan looked incredibly powerful, and he was reluctant to abandon it.

"Wind Style: Gale Palm is no less effective than Wind Style: Rasengan when used correctly,"

Kitazawa said, patting him on the shoulder.

He wasn't lying to Naruto.

Although Wind Style: Gale Palm was a C-rank ninjutsu, its applications were highly diverse, and it paired even better with the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Of course, the most important thing was that this Wind Style ninjutsu was simple enough.

Even with the Nine-Tails causing trouble, he could learn it with enough practice; it was far easier to learn than the A-rank Wind Style: Rasengan.

"Then I'll learn that!"

Naruto immediately changed his mind.

On one hand, Kitazawa's words had an effect; on the other, he trusted Kitazawa.

"The effect of Wind Style: Gale Palm is simple: Itachi compress Wind Style chakra in your hands to form a gale,"

Kitazawa looked left and right, finding an open space. "Its power depends on the amount of chakra the user inputs."

From that perspective, it was very suitable for Naruto.

After all, he was never short on chakra.

"Watch closely, Naruto."

Kitazawa clapped his hands together, and a massive amount of Wind Style chakra erupted from his palms.

In an instant, a gale roared outward.

Everywhere it passed, dust flew, and the wildflowers and weeds were pulverized into dust.

"It's a pity we're at school,"

Kitazawa clapped his hands together, saying, "Otherwise, this place would be left barren, turned into ruins."

Naruto was full of excitement upon hearing this.

The momentum of this Wind Style: Gale Palm looked much greater than the Wind Style: Rasengan.

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.

He was still just a child, only able to see the surface.

In terms of lethality, the Wind Style: Rasengan was naturally superior.

"What I just demonstrated was the first application of Wind Style: Gale Palm,"

Kitazawa took out a kunai and said, "Next is the second application."

He performed hand seals, and the moment the gale was generated, he suddenly threw the kunai.

Aided by the gale, the kunai flew through the air at double its usual speed, embedding itself deep into the tree trunk.

"Wind Style: Gale Palm can be used to assist ninja tools, allowing them to be thrown at higher speeds,"

Kitazawa looked at Naruto and said, "Think about what effect this would have if Itachi and your shadow clones used this technique."

"This application is too awesome!"

Naruto said excitedly.

The reason his Shadow Clone Jutsu and kunai throwing were often countered was because the kunai moved slowly and lacked precision.

Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha, in particular, could easily dodge them.

"Don't be in such a hurry; there are two more applications,"

Kitazawa beckoned him over, saying, "Try attacking me with shuriken."

"Alright!"

Naruto threw two shuriken with great anticipation.

The gale rose again.

The shuriken were immediately blown back along their original path, moving even faster than before.

Naruto was startled and hurriedly dodged.

"Wind Style: Gale Palm can assist ninja tools, but it can also deflect them. If Itachi have enough chakra, Itachi can easily blow away a ninja,"

Kitazawa explained.

"Then I won't have to be afraid of Sasuke and Tenten's ninja tools anymore!"

Naruto said happily.

Kitazawa twitched the corner of his mouth.

Itachi're not even sparing Tenten?

"Kitazawa-sensei, what's the last application?"

Naruto asked impatiently.

Kitazawa didn't answer, simply performing hand seals.

The gale formed by the compressed Wind Style chakra didn't fly outward but instead wrapped around his arms and his entire body.

Kitazawa moved, and the distance between them was instantly closed.

"So fast!"

Naruto's eyes widened.

He hadn't even reacted before Kitazawa was already in front of him.

"Wind Style: Gale Palm can wrap around the user's entire body to increase speed,"

Kitazawa explained with a smile.

In the original story, this was a technique developed by Naruto's son, Boruto Uzumaki.

"Start training,"

Kitazawa stepped back and said.

"Yeah!"

Naruto immediately began performing hand seals as Kitazawa had taught him.

Kitazawa stood in place to watch.

A moment later, he nodded.

Naruto's level of Wind Style chakra nature transformation was already sufficient to meet the requirements for learning Wind Style: Gale Palm.

More accurately, it was more than enough.

After all, Wind Style: Gale Palm was only a C-rank ninjutsu.

Kitazawa estimated that he would be able to learn it before the next monthly exam.

If that happened, it would be easier for him to defeat Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga, completing his system task.

Seeing that there were no problems, Kitazawa created a shadow clone, while his main body headed toward the school's artificial lake.

Kosuke Maruboshi, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno had already arrived and were in the middle of a lesson.

Sasuke was learning the Konoha Style: Willow, while Sakura was learning Water Style: Water Wall.

The former's progress was clearly much faster.

It wasn't that Sakura lacked talent for Water Style, but rather that she lacked sufficient chakra.

She had to rest for a while after practicing for a bit, waiting for her chakra to recover.

Many Water Style ninjutsu were extremely chakra-intensive.

For example, Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave.

Kitazawa estimated that Sakura couldn't learn this Water Style ninjutsu, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to use it.

But that was normal.

In the original story, only Tobirama Senju and Kisame Hoshigaki had ever used it.

Its effect was to release enough water in an instant to form an ocean.

Without a massive amount of chakra in one's body, it was impossible to use.

Kitazawa withdrew his gaze and continued practicing his Earth Style: Earth Replacement.

After Friday came Saturday.

As before, he spent the morning with Yakumo Kurama helping Tsunade treat her hemophobia.

Compared to the last time, this session could be called a leap forward.

Tsunade managed to persist in the illusion for three more minutes, reaching ten minutes.

Moreover, the symptoms after her hemophobia flared up appeared to be at least one-fifth less severe than before.

In short, victory was in sight.

For the remaining time, besides discussing the medical ninjutsu of limb regeneration with Tsunade, Kitazawa practiced Earth Style: Earth Replacement.

A new week, and a new month, arrived as time entered March.

Two weeks passed, and the next monthly exam was not far off.

Tuesday.

Kitazawa took advantage of his free time at noon to hold a short meeting with the other teachers.

The topic of discussion was the upcoming monthly exam.

After the meeting ended, Kitazawa returned to his office.

"Kitazawa-sensei."

Kabuto Yakushi stood at the door and greeted him.

"Why are Itachi here?"

Kitazawa took out his key, opened the door, and walked inside.

"These are the missions we've completed during this time,"

Kabuto followed him in and said, "Please take a look."

Kitazawa took the scroll and began to read.

It was about the same as last time, just missing two missions.

"Not bad."

Kitazawa closed the scroll and asked, "How is your Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere coming along?"

"I can perform it, but I'm not proficient enough yet,"

Kabuto replied.

"Then when do Itachi want to take the Chunin exam?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, staring at him as he asked.

"Now?"

Kabuto vaguely saw the answer in Kitazawa's eyes.
