Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 129 Final Exam Rewards Settlement

"What about me? My average score is 85. Can I join?" another student quickly asked.

The other students also chimed in eagerly.

The students in Class 1, Grade 4, were taught by Teacher Qiushui, and they could only envy her.

The students in Class 1, Grade 4, received gifts as rewards for doing well on their tests, but they were just envious.

But Class 1 of Grade 4 didn't even have summer homework, and they were really envious.

Why don't they have summer homework?

Then what about their summer homework?

In an instant, countless people felt extremely unbalanced.

Some students whose parents are ninjas or who have connections at school have even started seriously considering the feasibility of transferring to Class 1 of the fourth grade next semester.

Fortunately, people were just envious, and no riots broke out.

These people suddenly felt that no matter how good their grades were, it didn't seem to mean much anymore.

Even if you do well on the exam, can you still be like Class 1, Grade 4, who doesn't have to do summer homework?

The people gathered in front of the bulletin board gradually dispersed.

"Hehe, Sakura, sorry, my overall ranking is higher than yours this time." Ino Yamanaka looked at her grade ranking.

Seventh, while Sakura Haruno ranked eighth, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She was glad that she had received special training from her father for half a month recently, otherwise she might have really lost to Sakura in the actual test.

If I hadn't won the practical exam, my overall ranking would definitely not have been as high as Sakura's.

Aya Nagai finally felt relieved.

Hehe, a thousand taels in hand.

Sakura Haruno's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Why did they lose to Inobutsu by just one point again?

Nari's expression was equally unpleasant.

My allowance for this week is really gone.

She's going out with her girlfriends in a couple of days, but she doesn't even have money left to buy anything.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?" Sakura Haruno asked expressionlessly.

"Just like last time, go help out at my family's flower shop," Yamanaka Ino said with a smile. "But this time I'm going on a trip to the Land of Fire with my parents, so you'll have to help out at the flower shop until I get back."

"Can we change it? It's been too long; summer vacation lasts for two months." Sakura Haruno frowned.

"I'm not staying there for two months straight; I'll be back in a month at most," Yamanaka Ino said.

Although her relationship with Sakura has broken down, she is not so heartless as to treat Sakura so cruelly.

"Alright, I'll watch the flower shop for you for a month at most. If you don't come back by then, I'll only help you for a month," Sakura Haruno said, biting her lip.

She regretted making the bet with Ino last month, and she was also saddened that she wouldn't be able to go out with her girlfriends for the next month and would have to stay alone in the flower shop.

But more than anything, they were resentful.

While Ino is away having fun, Sakura Haruno decides to help out at the flower shop and cram in her theoretical knowledge so she can beat Ino in the first monthly exam of the next semester!

"Hahaha! I'm number one in the grade! Sasuke, you guessed wrong!" Naruto shouted smugly at Sasuke after seeing his results.

"So what if you're first in your grade?" Sasuke retorted coldly, not to be outdone. "I don't even know how many I've gotten, and you've only got one."

"You," Naruto opened his mouth, then suddenly realized that Sasuke's words made a lot of sense.

Although he had previously won first place in practical application, his theoretical score was not high, so he did not win first place in the grade.

"Tch, I'll definitely be number one in the grade from now on, and I'll surpass you then," Naruto retorted.

"Over the past few years, I've gotten first place in my grade ten times. Now there are less than two years left until graduation. Even if you get first place in every exam from now on, you still can't surpass me in total." Sasuke looked at you with an expression that said, "You can forget about it."

"hateful..."

Naruto did a quick calculation and realized that even though he got first place in all the following exams, he still didn't get as many first places as Sasuke. The joy he felt at getting first place in the grade instantly dissipated.

[Reward received - 800 Chakra cap points]

As Qiu Shui sat at her office desk drinking tea, she looked at the information panel popping up one by one, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, feeling very happy.

Immediately afterwards, a flood of memories about the intermediate level of Bagua Sixty-Four Palms training and usage methods rushed into his mind.

He closed his eyes to process the information for a moment, and when he opened them again, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Qiu Shui felt that he was now more proficient in using the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms than before, and was able to more accurately lock onto the opponent's acupoints in battle. His timing and angle of attack were also becoming more sophisticated.

Qiu Shui then turned her attention to the other rewards.

The scroll displaying A-rank ninjutsu proficiency caught his eye.

This is a great item that can directly raise the proficiency of any A-rank ninjutsu to the maximum level.

However, the only A-rank ninjutsu he currently possesses are the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

Considering that his current chakra level has not yet reached 150,000, and that the Great Waterfall Technique is not a very powerful ninjutsu, Akatsuki...

For now, we should hold off on using this precious scroll on these two ninjutsu. We'll wait until we acquire a more suitable A-rank ninjutsu.

As for the C-rank ninjutsu proficiency scroll, there are currently no suitable C-rank ninjutsu available.

He has already reached the maximum level of proficiency in all C-rank ninjutsu.

I can only use it when I acquire a new C-rank ninjutsu.

Qiu Shui was quite satisfied that her cooking skills in "MasterChef" had improved to the intermediate level.

Not only did his physical strength and chakra recovery double, but he could also clearly feel that the dishes he made were even more delicious than before.

Whether it's controlling the heat, mastering the seasoning, or matching ingredients, everything has improved significantly compared to before, and we've also mastered many new dishes.

As for the final reward of 800 chakra points, Qiu Shui frowned slightly.

He remembered that the last time this hidden quest rewarded him, it was a full thousand points.

"Could it be that the reward was reduced because the class average didn't improve as much as last time?" Qiu Shui pondered for a moment and came to this reasonable conclusion.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, a difference of two hundred points in the chakra limit is nothing to him.

We can bring back those high-quality talents he's tied to within a week.

At 11:00 a.m., Qiu Shui and the other teachers in the office went to the conference room on the fifth floor.

The teachers at the Ninja Academy also need to hold meetings, but not often, usually only once per semester.

The main purpose of each meeting is to summarize the work done this semester and to discuss the teaching plans for the next semester.

The real highlight, however, is the announcement of the list of outstanding teachers and the verbal and material commendations given to teachers who have made significant progress.

Although Qiu Shui doesn't have the same strong desire for the title of outstanding teacher and for promotion and salary increase as other teachers.

But he wouldn't refuse if he could get a reward.

After all, this is the result he deserved for his hard work.

Qiu Shui walked into the conference room, where more than twenty teachers were already sitting and chatting in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

Each table was labeled with the teacher's name on an acrylic frame, and they were all arranged neatly.

Qiu Shui found her place and sat down. Next to her sat Shui Mu.

He looked around, his gaze slowly sweeping across the crowd, and unexpectedly spotted two familiar faces.

Name: Mitarashi Anko

Chakra: 10500

Quality: A

[Ninjutsu: Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, Twin Snake Killing Technique, Snake Mouth Technique, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique —]

[Evaluation: A special Jonin skilled in tracking and knowledge of cursed seals]

Name: Ebisu

Chakra: 6800

[Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning]

Quality: B+

[Evaluation: A special Jonin skilled in teaching]

After looking at the personal attribute panels of the two, Qiu Shui found that they were similar to their appearance in the anime.

The only difference is that Mitarashi Anko is still wearing a black lace top underneath, and her figure hasn't yet become the shape that fans later jokingly call "Mitarashi Sweet Potato." At this moment, she looks neat and capable, with a sharp edge between her brows.

Ebisu, wearing small sunglasses, sat there upright with his back ramrod straight, looking utterly serious.

But Akisui knew that this guy was actually a repressed pervert, even listed as one of the "Eight Colors of Konoha." Later, he was instantly defeated by Naruto's Sexy Jutsu, his nose bleeding profusely and he collapsed to the ground.

A short while later, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage's robes, walked in with steady steps.
