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

The labor committee member is responsible for arranging the daily cleaning of the classroom, creating the duty roster, and checking for unsanitary corners—all of which require their attention. The arts and culture committee member is responsible for creating the blackboard bulletin and setting up the event venue whenever there are school activities.

The physical education representative is responsible for collecting equipment for the students during each physical education class and collecting it after class; the class representative's job is simpler, mainly responsible for collecting and submitting the homework after the teacher assigns it.

As for the class monitor and vice-monitor, they have to do everything. If there's something that other class officers can't handle, they can tell them first, and then the vice-monitor will report to me.

The classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone lowered their raised hands.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome. Fine, I'll give this position to you guys."

"I'm not running for this position either. Teacher Qiu Shui always teaches us to share, right? I'll give this good spot to you!"

"If none of you are running for office, it's pointless for me to run alone, so I won't run either."

"Yes, yes, let someone else take it..."

Qiu Shui's smile froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

You guys, how can you change your tune so quickly?

You all call me Teacher Qiushui so affectionately, and you even ate the snacks I gave you. But whenever I ask you to do something, it's either windy or rainy.

Looking at Naruto and Hinata's still raised hands, Qiushui felt a little moved.

All my kindness to you guys, including cooking for you, wasn't for nothing.

But the two of them alone can't do it.

At that moment, Uchiha Sasuke also suddenly raised his hand.

Qiu Shui glanced at him with some surprise.

Seeing this, Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno also raised their hands.

Qiu Shui smiled again and said, "Naruto will be the class monitor, and Sasuke Uchiha will be the vice class monitor."

Naruto looked very happy.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him without saying anything, and temporarily accepted the arrangement.

"Shikamaru." Shusui called out Nara Shikamaru's name third.

Shikamaru's body stiffened visibly for a moment, then he raised his head with a pained expression: "Shusui-sensei, I'm really not suited to be a class officer."

"You've improved so much in the monthly exam, which shows you're smart," Qiu Shui said without room for argument. "Set a good example for everyone. How about this, you become the class monitor."

Shikamaru had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Shusui continued, "Hinata will serve as the literature and art committee member, and Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura will each serve as class representatives."

Hinata has always loved flower arranging and is meticulous in her work, so this position is perfect for her.

Yamanaka Ino had no objection to her being the class representative, since it was all so that she could have common topics with Sasuke.

Sakura Haruno originally wanted to be the class monitor, but since Shikamaru got the same score of 100 on the exam as her, she didn't insist.

"Choji." Shusui turned her gaze to Akimichi Choji, who was still engrossed in eating snacks.

"Huh?" Choji looked up, potato chip crumbs still clinging to his lips. "Teacher, what can I be?"

"Labor Committee Member," Qiu Shui said earnestly, "You're strong and enthusiastic. You even helped everyone with their snacks just now, which shows you have a strong service spirit. You're perfect for the daily cleaning duties."

Choji paused for a moment, then gave a goofy smile: "Alright, it's just sweeping the floor anyway."

Akisui looked at Kiba Inuzuka and said, "Kiba, you'll be the discipline monitor. If anyone's whispering or passing notes during class, it'll be up to you to remind them."

He would also come back to the classroom to check on things when he didn't have classes. He found that Kiba Inuzuka was quite attentive in his classes, but very active in other classes, which meant he could let Kiba manage himself.

"Shusui-sensei, what about me?" Aburame Shino's calm voice came from behind.

Akisui suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been raising his hand the whole time. To be honest, he didn't mean to. It was just that Shino Aburame's presence was too low. Even though she was sitting there, she was always unconsciously ignored.

Akisui suddenly felt relieved that there was one more sports committee member he had forgotten to mention, so he said, "Shino, you have better physical fitness, so how about you be the sports committee member?"

Shino nodded slightly.

I am very satisfied.

[Talent training completed]

Overall Rating: A

[Received Training Reward - Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Intermediate)]

In an instant, a large number of memories about the training and usage of the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet ninjutsu appeared in Qiu Shui's mind.

After processing the memories, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The Water Dragon Bullet Technique, a B-rank water-style ninjutsu, left a very deep impression on him in the anime.

Kakashi led Team 7 on their first mission to the Land of Waves, where they encountered Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist. Kakashi and Zabuza, two honest men, stood face to face on the water, forming forty-four hand seals, neither willing to take the first step.

When Qiu Shui first saw it, he thought the scene was extremely cool. But every time he watched it again, he couldn't help but complain that the speed at which the hand seals were formed was so fast that even a person in a vegetative state would not be able to keep up.

Now, because of his low proficiency in water attribute changes and form transformations, he really has to carefully form all forty-four hand seals from beginning to end to release this technique.

After school, Shusui asked Naruto and Hinata to wait for him at the training ground while he went back to his office to put away his teaching materials.

After Qiu Shui put her things away and started walking towards the training ground, she was still some distance from her destination when Uchiha Sasuke suddenly appeared from behind a tree by the roadside.

He walked up to Qiu Shui, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists. His gaze darted away, avoiding her eyes, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher Qiu Shui, I'd like to train with you, is that alright?"

Although Sasuke was already a talent he had bound to, and Shusui was also planning to bring him over for training in the next couple of days, Shusui did not answer immediately, but instead prepared to give him the cold shoulder.

Sasuke felt uneasy all over. He had been staking out the place for the past few days, trying to find an opportunity to speak, but he hadn't seen Shusui, Naruto, or Hinata for several days.

He initially thought they had changed training grounds, so he went to several nearby venues, but still came up empty-handed.

Later, he secretly followed Naruto and discovered that the guy went straight home after school every day, and he almost thought that the training program had stopped.

It wasn't until today, when he saw Naruto and Hinata walking this way again, that he followed them.

It was very difficult for him to take the initiative to ask others for advice, but in this grade exam, he only got seventh place, which was unacceptable to him, who had always been number one in the grade and wanted to surpass the Uchiha in every aspect.

In order to become stronger and to avenge himself against Itachi Uchiha as soon as possible, he decided that he must receive the same training from Shusui as Naruto and Hinata, no matter what.

An information panel popped up in front of Qiu Shui's eyes.
