Chapter 75: Hiruzen Sarutobi's Reward

Kitazawa thought about why Hiruzen Sarutobi would look for him while walking.

At least it was certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't take out Enma to give him a one-second-six-stick punishment, because he hadn't made any mistakes.

He speculated that it was related to this monthly exam result, and maybe there would be a reward.

"Go in."

The Anbu ninja stopped in front of the Hokage's office door.

After Kitazawa nodded slightly, he pushed the door open.

"You're here, Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and said.

"Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa quickly saluted.

"I read the report card of your class, it's very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi praised, "The number of students with over eighty points is the highest in the whole school."

The perfect score for the theory exam is one hundred, and the practical exam is also one hundred.

The final ranking is a combination of the theory exam and practical exam scores, and the perfect score is still one hundred.

Students with over eighty points, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, were enough to be called the future hope of Konoha.

"It's all thanks to Lord Hokage's guidance."

Kitazawa said with a serious face.

"No need for polite words, I have seen everything you have done."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said, "Handing first-grade Class A to you was indeed the most correct choice."

"I will try my best to teach them well and cultivate a group of excellent successors to the Will of Fire."

Kitazawa stated his position.

"Very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments; what reward do you want? Money? Or ninjutsu?"

"I want Wind Style ninjutsu."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

Although money was important, he wasn't short of it for the time being; solving the source of the ninjutsu rewarded by the system was the top priority.

"You follow Haru later to choose a B-rank Wind Style ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa was a bit surprised.

Leaving aside ninjas from ninja clans, it was very difficult for ordinary ninjas to come into contact with B-rank ninjutsu.

Just for a monthly exam result, he was giving away a B-rank ninjutsu, which was undoubtedly very generous.

For Kitazawa, it was even more like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

The Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere he had just obtained was a B-rank Wind Style ninjutsu.

"This is what you deserve."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and asked again, "What do you think of Naruto?"

"Naruto?"

Kitazawa organized his language and said, "He is an optimistic, cheerful, and loyal child."

"Naruto's parents have done a great service to Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kitazawa with appreciation and said, "I hope you can take care of him more, especially in his studies."

He didn't say directly that Naruto Uzumaki was the son of the Fourth Hokage.

After all, this matter was top secret in Konoha.

With Kitazawa's current strength and status, he wasn't qualified to know.

"Alright."

Kitazawa agreed without hesitation.

He already had a mission from the system, and now he had added Hiruzen Sarutobi's mission; it was simply a win-win, he won twice.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "Haru is already waiting for you outside the door."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage, I will take my leave."

Kitazawa understood his order to leave and turned to go.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his figure, a trance appearing on his face, various memories surfacing.

He thought of Minato Namikaze from back then.

Although he became famous during the Third Shinobi World War, he was already an excellent student famous in Konoha at the Ninja Academy.

Whether it was theory or practice, he was first place, and he was also a civilian ninja.

It was precisely because of his extraordinary talent that he was arranged to become Jiraiya's student.

Minato Namikaze also lived up to expectations, saving the situation and helping Konoha win the Third Shinobi World War.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

That kind of vibrant vitality, the state of all things competing, was still before his eyes.

"Hope Naruto can become the next Minato."

Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to his senses and said.

Kitazawa came to the ninjutsu storage room under Haru's guidance.

"The scrolls on this bookshelf all record B-rank Wind Style ninjutsu."

Haru pointed to the bookshelf not far away and said, "You can take one scroll, but remember not to read the scrolls on other bookshelves."

"Alright."

Kitazawa nodded and came to the bookshelf.

He glanced over and locked onto Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere.

But he didn't act immediately, but after dawdling for a few minutes, he picked it up.

"After you take it back, memorize the content, and I will come to you to take back the scroll in a week."

Haru reminded.

"Hmm."

Kitazawa put away the scroll and returned to the Ninja Academy.

For the students, the monthly exam was over.

But he was a teacher, and there were still things to do.

After lunch, the teachers gathered for a meeting again.

As soon as Kitazawa walked into the conference room, everyone's eyes fell on him.

No way, he had just been summoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Senior Kitazawa!"

Iruka Umino beckoned to him excitedly.

He and Kitazawa both taught first-grade Class A, so he could be considered to have shared some of the glory, so he was very happy.

Only Mizuki next to him was like a Sichuan opera face-changing, his emotions complex.

"Kitazawa, congratulations."

Mizuki finally put on his usual smiling face.

"Thank you."

Kitazawa replied and sat down.

"You saw Lord Hokage, how did it feel?"

Iruka Umino asked with envy.

"Didn't feel anything."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "It's not my first time seeing Lord Hokage."

Invisible showing off is the most fatal.

Iruka Umino stalled instantly.

Mizuki subconsciously clenched his fists.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, he really wanted to smash a punch over.

After all, in the original story, he could kill an injured teammate to complete a mission.

"What did Lord Hokage say?"

Iruka Umino asked curiously.

"Just praised the results achieved by the students of first-grade Class A."

Kitazawa paused and said, "By the way, he gave me a B-rank Wind Style ninjutsu."

"B-rank?"

Iruka Umino gasped and immediately remarked with emotion, "Lord Hokage is truly generous!"

"If you work hard, you can also get a reward from Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa patted his shoulder and said.

"I will work hard!"

Iruka Umino said full of fighting spirit.

Mizuki looked at them, his teeth almost broken; he taught a perfect score student, why didn't he get a reward?

Where is this Lord Hokage generous? It's clearly biased!

After chatting for a while, Hiruzen Hisao walked in.

The first thing he did was to issue the grade-wide ranking list.

Kitazawa glanced at it.

The top ten in the whole grade were the top ten in first-grade Class A.

He wasn't surprised, because when the classes were divided, the most excellent students were stuffed into Class A.

"Now announcing the excellent student representative for this monthly exam."

Hiruzen Hisao paused and said, "Hinata Hyuga."

The smile on Mizuki's face froze.

When he heard the first two words, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but the last two words made him feel like falling into an ice cellar.

"Why isn't it Neji Hyuga?"

Mizuki couldn't stay calm and subconsciously stood up and asked.

"This is Lord Hokage's decision."

Hiruzen Hisao said with a calm face.

"But..."
