As soon as Mitsuko Qianzui returned to the principal's office, Neji Houzui followed in with a frustration.

Hinata asked, "It's Neji, is there anything wrong?"

After bowing deeply to Hinata Mitsuki, Neji said guiltily: "Teacher, this time I am embarrassing you, and embarrassing us Hinata clan!"

In this physical examination, Neji lost to Sasuke at a slight disadvantage, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

Hinata was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have told you many times, a temporary victory or defeat is nothing."

"You don't need to comfort me anymore. I know I've disappointed everyone this time!"

Neji lowered his head and his tone was depressed.

If he lost to Sasuke in a normal contest, he would not be so frustrated, but if he lost to Sasuke in the physical skills assessment where the Hinata clan was superior, it would be difficult for him to accept anyway.

Looking at Neji, Hinata didn't say anything more.

Hinata is actually very clear, because the competition mechanism he deliberately introduced by the principal has caused the current Ninja School to be completely different from the casual and leisurely atmosphere of the original Ninja School in Time and Space.

In particular, the system of publicizing monthly assessment results not only adds huge pressure to each student, but also adds more pressure to the major ninja tribes behind the students.

As far as he knows, major ninja tribes are now conducting additional training for their children in private to avoid embarrassing their children in the assessment of ninja schools and dragging down their reputation.

Naruto's accidental relegation to the tail of a crane this time is actually related to this.

If it weren't for the Akido clan on Dingji's back and the Inuzuka clan on the back of the teeth, they had privately given tutoring to Dingji and Ya, they wouldn't have defeated Naruto in physical skills.

It is precisely because of this competitive atmosphere that every assessment is not only the students themselves, but also the face of the students' families behind them. Therefore, when the assessment results were announced just now, the public notice board was surrounded by people.

Therefore, the fact that the Hinata clan lost to the Uchiha clan in physical skills is likely to become a hot topic for villagers to discuss after dinner in the future.

After hanging up Neji for a while, Hinata, who was planning a practical drill plan, said slowly: "The school assessment project this month will be a practical drill that is close to real combat."

Neji raised his head: "Is it a practical exercise?"

Hyuga Mitsuki glanced at Neji and said lightly: "Only by actual combat can we test the true strength of a ninja, so I hope to play well in this actual combat assessment."

Neji quickly promised: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely not embarrass you and the family this time!"

Hyuga Mitsuki turned her gaze back to the plan being planned and said casually: "By the way, this practical assessment happens to overlap with the Five Shadow Conference to be held in the village in terms of time. At that time, it will be more than the Konoha family who are paying attention to this practical exercise. So whether we can make ourselves famous in front of Five Shadows depends on our ability."

"What!?"

Neji was startled at first, and then his eyes were filled with a sharp fighting spirit.

Hinata Mitsuki's light words suddenly stirred Neji's heartstrings, causing his whole body to burst into blood, and suddenly his whole body was full of energy.

For a child of his age, there is nothing more glorious than making a name for himself and his family in front of the Five Shadows.

Hinata continued, "The news will be announced in the next two days, so be prepared."

"yes!"

Neji nodded repeatedly, his mind was no longer here.

Hinata raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "Don't be happy too early. This practical exercise was drafted by me personally. It's quite difficult. If you don't have the determination to die, you may be embarrassing!"

………

night.

Sasuke, who had his hands in his pockets, had a proud smile on his lips as he returned to the tribe from the Ninja School.

He got the first place in all the assessments of Ninja School, big and small, especially in this school's physical skills assessment. He defeated Neji, a genius from the Hyuga clan who specializes in soft fist. Not only did he win the first place in the same period again, but he also proved to everyone that even if the Uchiha clan has physical skills, he is no worse than the Hyuga clan!

"I want to be the first to tell my brother this good news, and I am the same as him now!"

When he thought of the way he could dominate the ninja school like his brother Itachi and received his father's praise, Sasuke's mouth raised more and more.

When he arrived at the Uchiha clan's special practice field, Sasuke found that his brother Itachi was indeed practicing shuriken throwing in the practice field. In addition, Shimizu was also on the side, so he trotted over and said, "Brother, Shimizu!"

Seeing Sasuke running over, Shimizu and Itachi tacitly ended their topic about transplanting first-generation cells.

"Brother, I won the first place in the same period in this school's physical skills assessment!"

Sasuke said, showing a look of "Praise me quickly".

Shimizu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Sasuke to defeat Neji this time. I was really surprised when I heard about it."

Sasuke pursed: "Brother Shimizu, what does this mean? I defeated Neji with my own strength. Humph, in front of the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan, the Hyuga family's soft fist is nothing great!"

Itachi and Shimizu looked at each other and smiled.

Sasuke then said to Itachi: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely maintain the title of No. 1 in the same period until graduation like this!"

Itachi said: "Don't be proud, I heard that the students in this period work very hard. If they relax, be careful to be caught up with others!"

Shimizu remembered the fact that Hyuga Mitsuki proposed a practical drill at a high-level meeting, so she said: "Sasuke, the school's assessment this month is likely to be a practical drill, and most of the tenth is the principal personally formulated the rules, so you have to pay attention!"

"Is it practical exercise? Hey, that's my best!"

Sasuke's face was still childish, and his eyes were full of eagerness to try...

………

Ninja School Teachers' Dormitory.

Dao stared at the peaceful Konoha Village outside the window, with a gloomy expression on his face, and thought to himself: "Mr. Orochimaru won't have any accidents, right?"

It has been two full days since the regular communication agreed to have with Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's communication has not arrived for a long time. This has never happened in the past, so Dou felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Dou's eyes suddenly sterned and he noticed that someone was approaching his dormitory, but soon his expression softened again.

Dongdong...

Not long after, a knock on the door came from outside.

Opening the door, Dori asked, "Naruto, it's so late, why haven't you come home to rest?"

Naruto, who still had faint tears on his face, said, "Brother Dou, can you teach me physical skills?"
