Chapter 48: 48
Tatsumi looked at Mikoto who was chatting with Kushina all the time he was getting chok- strangled.
"Mikoto, what did Orochimaru-Sama teach you?"
"Hmm…let me think about it. Orochimaru-Sama gave me some of his understanding on Ninjutsu. Also, it is related to the use of the Elemental Ninjutsu. There is also the production of common traps, identification and avoidance. In short, it is something life-saving."
Tatsumi thought about it for a while, and found that the three of them had accepted Sannin's best things.
Tatsumi learned Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength, Minato received Jiraiya's toad summoning and Mikoto received Orochimaru's guidance in Ninjutsu.
.....
The second class was Nishimura's class.
"Okay, everyone, stay seated."
Teacher Nishimura walked into the classroom again with a thick stack of sheets in his hand.
"Ah, he's going to take an exam again?" Seeing the thick bundle in his hand, a kid in the group headed by Uchiha Ryo immediately objected.
"No." Nishimura shook his head.
"Our Second Year is almost over. There is still some time before the Second Year's final exam. So, today will be the last outdoor training class of second year. Everyone will go to the training room with me."
'Why is this again? Does everyone like outdoor training as a teacher?' Tatsumi was a bit unhappy. After all, he just returned from training with Tsunade. (Imagine if I left this unedited and you read it 'training in Tsunade'.)
The class went to the training stadium.
Tatsumi could see the traces of Orochimaru and Jiraiya used Earth-Style Ninjutsu on the ground.
"cough cough, this time's outdoor class is mainly to test the students' shuriken throwing skills." Nishimura said.
"This time's test scores will be counted in the final exams, so everyone should perform their best."
"I don't want to call someone's parents." Nishimura casted a glance at Shikaku, who was holding his head.
Shikaku was shocked. After all, his mother scolded him and his dad could not even protect him last time.
"First of all, according to the order of the student number at the time of enrollment, Uchiha Ryo, you are the first. Come here." (Student Number. Not the position they got in entrance exam)
"Oh."
Ryo walked over proudly.
He picked up four shuriken from the Ninja Pouch hanging on his lap. His wrist was shaking, and then, Shuriken flew out at a very fast speed, nailing into the bull's-eye ten meters ahead.
"A." Nishimura glanced at the rake in the distance, and then reported Ryo's score.
The highest rank that the teacher can give a student is A+, and then A, A-, B+ and so on.
'I have to say that the people of Uchiha Clan are much better than the average person in terms of shuriken.'
This may be a genetic advantage.
The time for the outdoor training class went by slowly. Since Tatsumi's name had not yet been called, he was getting bored, so he hid aside and chatted with Nawaki and the others.
Tatsumi noticed that Kushina was a little nervous.
"Kushina, are you not good at throwing shuriken?" Tatsumi asked.
"No…well, I should not be very good at it. I haven't practiced much in the past few years."
'Tatsumi thought of it, Naruto was also very bad at it, it seems that this is also inherited.'
"Next, Uzumaki Kushina."
"All the best, Kushina." Tatsumi cheered Kushina on.
"Well, yes. I will try my best." Kushina slowly walked up.
Before Kushina transferred to the academy, the Third Hokage once approached Nishimura and asked him to take care of Uzumaki Kushina. Don't let the students bully her.
Third Hokage's reason is that Kushina is a war orphan. She just came to Konoha and she was unfamiliar with Konoha. Kushina will live in Konoha in the future, and she must cultivate her affection for Konoha.
Since it was the Hokage who told him to take care of her, Nishimura, just for his career, would care more about Uzumaki Kushina.
'So, I put her name in the middle. If it was in the last place, Kushina would have felt isolated.'
However, from his eyes, Uzumaki Kushina must be very bad in shuriken throwing.
Nishimura sighed, 'Here is another problem child.'
"Since it is Lord Hokage's special care, then I can't help it. After the test, I will just mark A+ casually…" Nishimura said to himself.
Tatsumi heard it accidentally and now wanted to go to Hokage to report Nishimura's behaviour.
Kushina looked around, with so many eyes on her, she was a little nervous.
She looked at Tatsumi and the others again, they all looked like they were trying to cheer her.
Kushina rubbed her eyes and tidied her clothes.
"Ha!"
Kushina, who was standing in front of the target yelled loudly, and then threw her shuriken out very hard.
Although Tatsumi admits that Kushina's voice was very cute, it's absolutely right, but the accuracy… was too bad.
'If Nishimura, who was standing next to the target, hadn't used Body Substitution Jutsu in time, Kushina would have done a Nishimura's-eye instead of bulls-eye.'
Nishimura's eye's corner twitched, he was very hesitant.
After all, the results were there, he can't be donating her grades even if the Hokage said so due to his own conscience.
"…But… It is also the Hokage's special attention. I have to follow what he said too. Then I'll give her an A. This grade should not be bad, right?" Nishimura kept making excuses for his conscience.
"…"
'Wake up teacher, if you do things like this, instead of enemies, Konoha's shinobi would be killed by their own teammates' Tatsumi thought as he saw Nishimura grade Kushina.
Kushina, who had come to the stage with an motivated mood, was going back with a lost look.
