Chapter 970

Ino Yamanaka suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"..."

Sakura Haruno had a look of hopelessness.

"Sasuke losing has nothing to do with Itachi."

Ino Yamanaka realized and couldn't help but laugh.

This was a gap in hard strength; no matter how much she jinxed it, it couldn't change the result.

"Sakura, I'll teach Itachi a method."

Shikamaru Nara blinked and said nonsense seriously, "Next time, don't support Sasuke; change to supporting Naruto."

"Eh?"

Sakura Haruno immediately showed a surprised expression.

This method seemed feasible.

"Then the question is, if Sakura supports Naruto, and Naruto wins, what should she do?"

Kiba Inuzuka held back his laughter and asked.

"..."

Sakura Haruno immediately dismissed this thought.

Reverse jinxing is also jinxing!

While they were chatting, Kitazawa finished treating Sasuke Uchiha and walked toward Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

"Kitazawa-senpai."

Iruka Umino immediately took out four report cards and said, "These are the scores from the four of us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kosuke Maruboshi and the others didn't come just to be spectators; they also had a mission, which was to be judges and give scores.

Kitazawa nodded, took the four report cards, and scanned them quickly.

How should he put it?

They were much the same.

Except for slight differences for individual students, the four of them remained consistent for most students.

After reading them, Kitazawa synthesized their scores and began to rank the genius class.

In less than ten minutes, the rankings for the practical exam were freshly released.

Kitazawa took the rankings and came to the genius class group.

Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, and the others immediately stopped chatting and looked at him, their eyes full of anticipation.

Although they had roughly guessed the rankings, it was still just a guess without an announcement.

"I will first announce the practical exam rankings for this monthly exam."

Kitazawa paused and added, "This practical exam ranking is not the final version."

"Kitazawa-sensei, what does this mean?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked immediately, "Do we have to continue sparring?"

"Kitazawa-sensei already said before that missions have to be added to this practical exam."

Shikamaru Nara reminded.

Kiba Inuzuka was startled upon hearing this.

He had indeed forgotten about this matter.

Fortunately, Kitazawa didn't say much, letting him escape a disaster.

"Only after the missions are over will it be the true practical exam ranking."

Kitazawa continued Shikamaru Nara's words and said.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes suddenly lit up.

His first place still had hope!

As long as he performed excellently in the mission, he could surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

Because his theory exam ranking was higher than Naruto Uzumaki's; it was just that his temporary practical exam ranking was lower than his.

Calculating it this way, the probability of getting first place was very high.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately had spirit.

Neji Hyuga and the others also had similar thoughts.

Although the possibility of them getting first place was relatively small, it wasn't completely zero.

"First place, Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa looked at the report card and said.

"Great!"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly, "This is youth!"

"I must also learn from such youth!"

Rock Lee suddenly had tears streaming down his face and shouted.

"Second place, Yakumo Kurama."

Kitazawa interrupted them quickly, fearing they would stage a scene of hugging and crying.

The first and second places were within the expectations of the genius class group.

But for the subsequent rankings, the competition was relatively fierce.

Sasuke Uchiha, Kimimaro Kaguya, Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame all had a certain possibility.

"Third place, Sasuke Uchiha."

Kitazawa announced.

Sasuke Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.

Third place was still within his acceptable range, and the gap with Naruto Uzumaki wasn't large.

Now it depended on whether he could get a high score in the subsequent mission.

On this point, Sasuke Uchiha was still very confident.

"Fourth place."

Kitazawa paused and said, "Kimimaro Kaguya."

For fourth place, he and Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, five teachers, had some differences.

It was mainly two problems.

One was that Kimimaro Kaguya had lost three times in a row.

Two was that he hadn't fought Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and the others.

Kitazawa thought carefully and decided to give him fourth place.

One was that this practical exam ranking was not the final ranking; it still depended on performance in the mission.

Two was that although Kimimaro Kaguya had lost three times in a row, it didn't mean his strength was poor; on the contrary, he was also a standout in the genius class.

Three was that Kitazawa had rigged the matches for him, so giving him fourth place could be considered compensation.

"Congra..."

Tayuya just started to speak but stopped again.

She originally wanted to congratulate Kimimaro Kaguya for getting fourth place in this genius class full of freaks, but on second thought, it wasn't right.

He was a very proud person; he was first place in the Hidden Sound Village, and now getting fourth place was a humiliation for him.

Tayuya looked at Kimimaro Kaguya, and sure enough, there was no joy at all.

She sighed in her heart.

Kimimaro Kaguya at least entered the top five, but could she enter the top ten?

Tayuya didn't have confidence in her heart.

"Fifth place, Hinata Hyuga. Sixth place, Neji Hyuga. Seventh place, Shino Aburame."

Kitazawa continued to read.

In fact, there were also differences regarding Shino Aburame.

The reason was that he had now mastered the secret techniques of the Kamizuru clan and the summoning beast Queen Bee.

Theoretically speaking, there was a possibility of defeating Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga.

But they hadn't met after all.

Plus, the Queen Bee was an external object.

If Tenten were allowed to use the Saki Giant Lizard, her ranking would definitely be different.

"It's over!"

Kiba Inuzuka scratched his head, "Can't even enter the top ten?"

"There are still three people not announced; Itachi have hope."

Hana Inuzuka comforted.

Tayuya bit her lip.

She subconsciously prayed in her heart; no matter what, it would be good to get into the top ten.

"Eighth place, Ino Yamanaka."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

Although Ino Yamanaka lost to Sakura Haruno, she won the other two matches.

The reason was genjutsu.

For most ninjas, genjutsu is very tricky.

Especially since the genius class group was generally only seven or eight years old, many didn't even know how to break genjutsu.

Even if Ino Yamanaka were to spar with Kimimaro Kaguya, there was a certain probability of winning.

Although the probability was very small.

"Haha!"

Ino Yamanaka put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "I won, Sakura!"

Sakura Haruno immediately showed a depressed expression.

Sasuke Uchiha lost to Naruto Uzumaki, and she also lost to Ino Yamanaka in the rankings.

"Ninth place, Shikamaru Nara."

Kitazawa glanced at Ino Yamanaka and continued.

Shikamaru Nara's mouth twitched.

Even after working twice as hard, he was only ninth; it felt like there wasn't much difference between working hard and not.

In fact, he had become much stronger.

Especially after learning the Konoha Body Flicker Jutsu, he could maneuver with his opponents to exert his high IQ and secret techniques.

"Tenth place, Tayuya."

Kitazawa said slowly.

Although Tayuya had lost all three matches, her strength was not poor.

Against most of the genius class students, the three angry ghosts still had a great advantage.

Once she learned Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Lock, her ranking might even advance.
