Chapter 92

Is this method feasible?

"Let's go, we're going to the playground."

Kitazawa put away the remaining food.

Hinata Hyuga's heart rose again upon hearing this, and nervousness arrived inevitably.

She followed behind Kitazawa, thought of the method just now, and couldn't help but start reciting silently.

"Rice balls, you are all rice balls."

Hinata Hyuga repeated constantly.

For some reason, she felt the tension lessen quite a bit.

On the playground, students from six grades were neatly arranged in specific formations.

Kitazawa took Hinata Hyuga directly to the high platform.

"Kitazawa."

Hisao Sarutobi saw him and greeted him.

Kitazawa was now a prominent figure in the Ninja Academy, deeply trusted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hisao Sarutobi was a ninja of the Sarutobi clan and also the vice-principal, so he took the initiative to show goodwill to Kitazawa.

"Principal."

Kitazawa responded very politely.

Time came to 8:30, and the awards ceremony officially began.

The first segment was the speech by the excellent student representative.

"Hinata, remember the method I told you."

Kitazawa reminded her.

Hinata Hyuga didn't answer, just nodded.

She walked forward slowly and stopped.

Numerous gazes fell on her; she trembled subconsciously, and panic appeared in her heart.

"Rice balls! They are rice balls!"

Hinata Hyuga took a deep breath and began her speech.

Second-year Class A formation.

Neji Hyuga listened to Hinata Hyuga's speech, and surprise appeared in his heart.

Because she actually had the courage to go on stage and successfully carried out the speech.

In Neji Hyuga's view, Hinata Hyuga was not suitable to be a ninja.

Because she was too weak and had no opinions of her own.

Her only advantage was her good fate, being born in the main family.

"Let me see how much you have changed."

Neji Hyuga suddenly thought of Mizuki's suggestion.

He hadn't been interested before, but now he had a hint of expectation.

Mizuki's suggestion was very simple: a friendly match between the two classes.

Half an hour later, the speech ended.

Enthusiastic applause rang out, and Hinata Hyuga woke up as if from a dream.

She had been completely immersed in the speech just now and had completely forgotten that there was a group of audience members below.

Hinata Hyuga listened to the applause from all directions, and a subtle feeling rose in her heart.

This seems not bad?

She clenched the speech draft, waved it subconsciously, and then stepped off the stage.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Hinata Hyuga's small face turned pink with excitement.

"Congratulations on completing the speech."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "Look, they are all applauding for you."

"Mm!"

Hinata Hyuga nodded vigorously.

She felt like she had opened the door to a new world at this moment.

If she were asked to give another speech, she could be sure she would do better.

"Do you have the confidence to defeat Toranosuke now?"

Kitazawa changed the subject and asked.

"I... I can!"

Hinata Hyuga hesitated for a second, then said in a firm tone.

"Hinata, you have grown a lot."

Kitazawa touched her head and said, "Let's go back to first-year Class A."

The two returned to the first-year Class A formation.

"Hinata, you did great!"

Ino Yamanaka praised with a smile.

"Next time I want to give a speech too!"

Naruto Uzumaki said expectantly.

He liked the feeling of being in the spotlight, and if he could get everyone to applaud for him, it meant he had been recognized.

"You?"

Kiba Inuzuka snorted and said, "When it comes to giving a speech on stage, my probability is much higher than yours."

"Next monthly exam, who is higher than whom, it's not certain yet!"

Naruto Uzumaki said confidently.

He didn't believe in himself, but in Kitazawa.

"It's me."

Uchiha Sasuke said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him subconsciously, with surprise on their faces.

In their impression, Uchiha Sasuke had always been very cold and basically didn't participate in their discussions.

"Alright, let's not discuss this first, keep quiet, the principal is commending you now."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said.

The second segment of the awards ceremony, which was the most important segment, was the commendation.

The top thirty of each grade were read out by Hisao Sarutobi.

"Next, let's invite the principal to give a summary speech for this monthly exam."

After commending the students, Hisao Sarutobi changed the subject and said with a smile.

A familiar figure appeared out of thin air; it was Hiruzen Sarutobi wearing the Hokage's ceremonial robe.

In an instant, bursts of cheers rang out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's publicity work was done very well, and he had a very high reputation in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Besides that, it was a surprise.

Because he shouldn't have appeared at an ordinary monthly exam awards ceremony.

Generally speaking, he would only show up for the opening ceremony and graduation ceremony.

"Below, I will briefly say six points..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied with their reaction.

This showed that everything he did was worth it.

Kitazawa twitched his mouth.

He already had a bad feeling.

Sure enough.

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke for two hours; if it weren't for the limited time, he could have continued.

The awards ceremony ended, and everyone returned to their classes.

Kitazawa was about to leave when he was blocked by Mizuki.

"This monthly exam, your class stole the show; our class students all want to communicate with your class."

Mizuki asked with a smile, "How about we have a friendly match between our two classes, what do you think?"

"Not good."

Kitazawa refused directly.

"W-why?"

Mizuki's expression froze immediately.

"You still ask why?"

Kitazawa snorted coldly and said, "Second-year fighting first-year, besides shameless, I can't think of any other words to describe it."

A year's gap cannot be easily smoothed over.

Kitazawa was not a fool and wouldn't ask for trouble.

"Wait! We can discuss!"

Mizuki caught up with him and said, "The time, place, and content of the friendly match are all up to you to decide!"

He also knew that a year's gap was hard to catch up with, so he was very generous and gave the initiative to Kitazawa.
