NARUTO- CH-174. Teams

"Shiki."

Umino Iruka smiled widely and said, "Let's draw lots first."

During these six years, thanks to students such as Shiki and Sasuke, his path to promotion was smooth.

Just as Hiruzen said before, he would soon be able to get rid of his identity as an ordinary teacher.

It wasn't a problem to become a grade director.

It's time to graduate after all.

Among the students in the past five classes, there had been no outstanding one except Hanabi.

Iruka already had a premonition that his future teaching career would be bleak.

"It's a transformation technique."

Shiki said as he looked at the card he had drawn.

"Another transformation jutsu? Wait, aren't you going to perform Naruto's jutsu as well?"

Iruka suddenly became alert.

Look how scared the teacher is.

Shiki shook her head and said, "I can't."

"That's fine."

Iruka breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Begin your performance."

Shiki thought for a moment and then began to make hand seals.

If you want to get full marks, normal transformation techniques are difficult, so you have to come up with some new tricks.

Iruka was stunned.

Shiki made hand seals as he walked.

He went around the classroom and changed all the students.

"Good job!"

He just exclaimed, Wow!

Iruka said without hesitation, "Full marks."

"Thank you, teacher."

Shiki stepped forward and took the ninja forehead protector.

______

Hokage's office.

"As expected of you, Hokage-sama's student."

Kurenai said in amazement.

Although transformation technique is the most basic ninjutsu, the fact that he has achieved this level is enough to show that he is very proficient in it.

Kakashi nodded slightly.

He possessed the Sharingan, and his insight was much stronger than that of Kurenai.

What was certain was that Shiki's control over chakra was no less than that of a jonin.

The twelve-year-old jonin was not inferior to him.

"Stinky little brat."

Tsunade couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.

Shizune glanced at her and thought to herself that she was saying one thing and thinking another.

After being together for so long, she had already realized that she had fallen into second place.

Now in Tsunade's mind, Shiki ranked first.

"Some showmanship."

Shizune commented.

"Young people can understand it."

There was a hint of envy in Asuma's eyes.

If he had this kind of talent when he was young, he might have been able to escape the shadow cast by Hiruzen.

For a long time, he had tried to eliminate the label of being the son of Hokage.

As a result, he became very rebellious and often quarreled with Hiruzen.

But his talent was average, and no matter how hard he tried, he was not as good as his father, who was known as Ninja Hero.

Now, after his experience as a guardian ninja, he had figured out a lot of things.

"I have already arranged the specific class divisions. Please go to the classroom to claim the students."

Tsunade said as she picked up a piece of paper on the table.

"Yes."

Everyone answered in unison.

After looking at each other, Kurenai walked forward and took the paper.

She scanned it quickly, surprise showing on her face.

"Show me."

Asuma noticed her expression and couldn't help but feel curious.

But Kurenai didn't give it to him, instead handing it to Kakashi.

'What's going on?'

Asuma was stunned for a moment.

When Kakashi saw the list, he was stunned.

'What is this dream team?'

He subconsciously looked at Tsunade and received a reassuring look from her.

It's pressure.

The stronger the team, the more difficult the mission would be.

He felt that the days of slacking off and watching "Intimate Paradise" were gone forever.

Kakashi casually handed over the list.

"No wonder."

A look of realization appeared on Asuma's face.

As they circulated the list, the classroom began the process of dividing classes.

"Team Seven."

Iruka read out, "Shiki, Sasuke, and Naruto."

"Very good!"

Naruto stood up directly.

Everyone looked at him with envy.

Being the first and second teammates in the whole school was so cool. You could win without doing anything.

"Good."

Sasuke glanced at Shiki and said.

In fact, he was relieved.

There was no need to say much about Shiki.

Naruto, although sometimes out of touch, was strong and wouldn't be a drag.

All in all, it was the perfect team.

"Wow, my Sasuke."

Sakura sighed.

"Team Eight."

Iruka continued reading, "Hinata, Kiba, and Shino."

Was it completely guessed?

Ino subconsciously looked at Shiki.

"Why is there Hinata?"

Shino looked confused.

But at the same time, he was also sweating a lot.

If anything happened to Hinata, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Maybe in the future, Team 8 would become Hinata, Kiba, and Akamaru.

He couldn't find such a person.

"Class Nine."

Iruka paused, then said, "Sakura, Tone, and Yakumo."

"Who… is this?"

Sakura looked at him blankly.

Why didn't she remember classmates named Tone and Yakumo in her class?

"Team 10."

Without any explanation, Iruka read out, "Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji."

The most surprising combination.

Everyone was still wondering who the two extra strange students in Class 9 were.

Shiki smiled.

Yakumo, from the Kurama clan, possessed an extremely rare illusion bloodline limit.

Simply put, it could turn illusions into reality.

But because she was too powerful and her spiritual energy was excessive, she became weak and unable to practice.

In an accident, her spiritual power turned into a monster named Ido, which killed her parents.

Her teacher was Kurenai.

The Third Hokage Hiruzen gave her the opportunity to kill Ido.

Yakumo mistakenly believed that she was going to kill him and thus became hostile towards her.

Until one day, she burned down the Hokage Building, and Tsunade was shocked, so she prepared to let Kurenai take action.

Finally, with the help of Naruto, Ido was defeated.

It was because Shiki remembered that Kurenai was Yakumo's teacher that he suggested to Tsunade to form Team 9.

The eighth team that Hinata was in was led by Yamato, the jonin.

The reason was simple.

Yamato was more powerful.

Kurenai was a jonin who was proficient in illusion techniques.

By the middle and late stages, illusion had become exclusive to the Uchiha clan.

Not to mention the problem of illusion, with her strength, she couldn't teach Hinata and the others anything.
