Chapter 971

After all, genjutsu is relatively unsolvable in the early stages.

"Yay!"

Tayuya immediately showed an excited expression.

Ino Yamanaka and the others subconsciously looked at her.

Tayuya immediately discovered that her performance was too excited.

She quickly defended, "I meant that I will definitely advance further in the next monthly exam!"

"I understand."

Ino Yamanaka said with a smile.

Too embarrassing!

Tayuya's small face turned red all of a sudden.

"Eleventh place, Tenten. Twelfth place, Kiba Inuzuka. Thirteenth place, Sakura Haruno."

Kitazawa read in one breath, "Fourteenth place, Choji Akimichi. Fifteenth place, Hana Inuzuka. Sixteenth place, Rock Lee."

In fact, except for the top seven, the strength of the nine behind them was not particularly different.

It belonged to whoever made progress next time could advance one or two places.

"How come the stronger I get, the more my ranking drops?"

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't hold it in.

"After all, Kimimaro and Tayuya were added."

Hana Inuzuka answered.

She was very calm; in her view, being in the top eighteen was already quite good.

After all, there were too many geniuses in the genius class.

"Next time I must enter the top ten!"

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fists and said.

"What a youthful statement!"

Rock Lee said excitedly, "I must work even harder!"

Taijutsu was originally advantageous in the early stages, but as more and more people in the genius class mastered ninjutsu, he was at a disadvantage.

But he didn't think that much; he just felt there were so many goals to chase.

"Let's work hard together!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up.

Sasuke Uchiha's mouth twitched.

Don't work hard!

No, after the monthly exam ends, I'll go find Kakashi-sensei to learn Lightning Release!

"..."

Shikamaru Nara couldn't help but hold his forehead.

A group of freaks, having talent and still working so hard, it's simply fatal.

In the end, those of us who are ordinary people will be rolled to death!

Kimimaro Kaguya was thoughtful.

He probably understood why he and Tayuya couldn't compare to them.

Besides having Kitazawa's special tutoring, it was also because they worked hard enough.

Kimimaro Kaguya suddenly looked forward to the upcoming special training.

"The above is the ranking for this practical exam of the genius class."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he took out the second report card, "Now announcing the rankings for the theory exam."

Sasuke Uchiha immediately became nervous.

His theory exam ranking could definitely surpass Naruto Uzumaki, but it was hard to say whether he could surpass Yakumo Kurama and Hinata Hyuga and the others.

Practical exam ranking, he was third, not far from those before and after.

If the theory exam ranking was poor, his first place would be very dangerous.

"First place, Shikamaru Nara. Second place, Sakura Haruno."

Kitazawa paused and said with a smile, "Third place, Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Stable!

As long as he could get a high score in the mission, he would definitely get the final first place.

Neji Hyuga couldn't help but frown.

Since Sasuke Uchiha got third place, his hope for first place was basically gone.

It seemed he could only prepare for the next monthly exam.

The next monthly exam only had missions; maybe he could get first place.

The other students were relatively calm.

After all, they had long lost hope for first place.

Kimimaro Kaguya actually had hope, but he had only studied for a month, and his theory grades couldn't catch up for the time being.

Tayuya didn't even need to be mentioned; she was the one with the worst theory grades among the four transfer students.

Regarding the hope for first place, Naruto Uzumaki was naturally the greatest.

But he knew his theory grades couldn't compare to Sasuke Uchiha and the others, so he had already focused on the practical exam.

After all, for things like doing problems, if Itachi can't do them, Itachi can't do them.

IQ is innate; there's no way to make changes.

"The above is the ranking for this theory exam; the final ranking will wait until your missions are over."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "Itachi rest for ten minutes first; I'll announce the groupings later."

After he finished speaking, he walked toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, and Kakashi Hatake.

"I can take anyone this time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said.

He couldn't take Naruto Uzumaki every time he led a team; that would be unfair.

After all, he was now a teacher of the genius class and had to be responsible for every student.

"Me too."

Kosuke Maruboshi and Kakashi Hatake said in unison.

Although they wanted to take Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, since Hiruzen Sarutobi had said so, they couldn't do anything special.

"That's good."

Kitazawa said upon hearing this, "I will do the distribution this time."

He stood in place and pondered.

Eighteen students, he and Hiruzen Sarutobi would take one team, and Kosuke Maruboshi and Kakashi Hatake would take two teams.

Kitazawa's plan was to go to the Summoning Island in the Land of the Sea.

On this island lived many summoning beasts.

Ninjas from the Land of the Sea discovered this island and tried to research so-called ultimate summoning beasts.

Their research was also very simple and crude; to sum it up, it was stitching monsters together.

They stitched many powerful summoning beasts together, and in the end, the ultimate summoning beast went crazy and destroyed them all.

Kitazawa planned to take Karin and Tenten.

Karin was a member of the Uzumaki clan; with her, it would be easy to gain the trust of Honoka Uzumaki.

As for Tenten, it was to see if there was a chance to help her find a new summoning beast.

Although her Saki Giant Lizard was powerful, it would be too much to use it against students of the genius class.

The summoning beasts on the Summoning Island were certainly not as good as the Saki Giant Lizard, but they still had strength and could be used to assist in battle.

Kitazawa had originally thought about taking Naruto Uzumaki; he had always wanted a summoning beast.

But on second thought, if he were to contract with Mount Myoboku in the future, other summoning beasts would just be a burden.

In fact, with his strength, he didn't need a summoning beast at all.

Besides, theoretically, there was also a summoning beast in his stomach, and it was currently the strongest kind, the Nine-Tails Kurama.

Kitazawa thought about it and finally decided to take Tayuya.

Because her three angry ghosts were suitable for dealing with such large summoning beasts.

Besides Tayuya, he was also prepared to take Choji Akimichi.

His Multi-Size Jutsu was also suitable for dealing with large summoning beasts.

As for why this small team would have four students, the reason was that Karin was taken additionally.

She lacked combat ability and hadn't entered the top eighteen.

When Kitazawa announced it later, he wouldn't announce her name for the time being.

It was mainly for the sake of fairness and justice on the surface.

[Current mission: In the next practical exam, do not let Tayuya enter the top five.]

[Mission reward: Four Violet Flames Formation.]

[Host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Kitazawa scanned it subconsciously.

The Four Violet Flames Formation didn't need to be mentioned; it was a very practical barrier.

[Current mission: In the next practical exam, do not let Kimimaro Kaguya enter the top three.]

[Mission reward: 20% Shikotsumyaku.]

[Host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Adding the previous 30%, Kitazawa now had 50% Shikotsumyaku.

However, there was no obvious change in his body.
