"Thank you."
Hearing Shinji agree, Kubo quickly nodded in thanks.
Shinji said, "It's nothing. I also hope to see these students clearly know their direction after graduation. After all, even if it's the medical department or other places, it's all for Konoha."
Kubo nodded in response. "Yes, I understand."
Shinji said, "Mm, I'll let you know about the conversation then."
Shinji put away the list. Although these documents had already reached Hiruzen, he still needed to speak with him about them. And, it seemed the results this time were good. After all, there were several promising medical students among those graduating this year.

"Chakra control, whether for casting Ninjutsu or managing your own Chakra reserves, has great benefits."
"Precise control allows you to use Ninjutsu with the intended power using the least amount of Chakra output."
In the classroom, Shinji stood at the podium, addressing the students.
"Although theoretical aspects are important, this training actually requires more attention to practice."
"So, until the physical education class before the end of the term, I hope everyone can make good use of their time to practice properly."
Academy students, unlike Naruto and his friends at the training ground, only had physical education classes a few days each week.
And, apart from a few individuals, the talent of the rest of them would, at best, only allow them to reach the level of a regular Chunin in the future.
Getting this class of students to learn Tree Climbing before the end of the term was already the slowest Shinji had made it.
Kiba raised his hand and asked, "Sensei! What about those of us who have already learned it?"
He was one of the few students who had already learned Tree Climbing. It was impossible for them to continue practicing Tree Climbing in future physical education classes, right?
"As for you, you will still be training your physique and skillfully using the three basic techniques."
"Yes."
Shinji nodded and spoke to the students again, "I think you should have heard something about the senior students' recent matters, right?"
Hearing Shinji's words, many students nodded.
The matter of the Apprentice Ninja had become the most discussed topic in the Academy recently.
"I hope the students in our class can also think about it carefully. Although it's still a bit early for you, you can try to gather more information."
"If you have a direction but don't know how to study, you can come and talk to me."
The students in their seats looked at each other.
Their teacher was right. Instead of studying without a purpose, it was better to decide early what they liked or had a talent for, lest they be persuaded to give up in their final year.
You know, there were one or two seniors who had been persuaded to give up the ninja profession.
After all, if they couldn't even learn the basic three basic techniques, Shinji really couldn't imagine what they would do after graduation.
Be a Genin for life?
It would be better to see if they could switch to Taijutsu, then try to specialize in Taijutsu, and after the assessment, join the Konoha Police Force.
"Alright, class dismissed."
After giving his instructions, Shinji put away his materials.
As Shinji walked out of the classroom, the students in their seats began to discuss amongst themselves.
Shikamaru, Naruto, and the others walked out of the classroom. Their goals had been set long ago. If Shinji hadn't thought they should stay in school and interact more with people, they would mostly just use Shadow Clone to attend classes now.
[Lecture completed, calculating...]
[Overall rating: B]
[Reward: Chakra +100]
Shinji raised an eyebrow. No matter how good he was at teaching, it was impossible to guarantee an A rating for every class. But an increase in Chakra was also good, every little bit counts.

"Start!"
On the training ground, as Shinji's raised hand quickly came down, Naruto and Sasuke charged at each other.
"Combat training is about you being able to refine your style in battle."
"To make sure that it doesn't end too quickly and doesn't have effect, Sasuke, you need to refrain from using your Sharingan, and Naruto, you cannot use Rasengan."
Shinji watched Naruto and Sasuke clash on the field, speaking as he did so.
"In practice, consider everything you know and use it effectively."
Naruto blocked Sasuke's attack while thinking about what his teacher had said.
Besides Rasengan, what else did he know?
That would only leave Shadow Clone and Wind Release, wouldn't it?
As for Quake Punch, apart from the Third Form, what Shinji wanted now was for them to integrate it into their combat.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
After being forced back by Naruto, Sasuke immediately formed hand signs and unleashed a Great Fireball Technique. He wanted to use this to find an opportunity. The application of Ninjutsu was what he needed to do right now. After all, he had already learned Fire Release Nature Transformation long ago.
"Hmph! Arrogant Sasuke, that trick again."
Naruto took a deep breath, Chakra fluctuations appearing all over his body. With the activation of his breathing technique, he gradually compressed Chakra in his feet.
Naruto Style Taijutsu: Great Windmill!
Naruto pushed off the ground with his foot, leaping up. As his body spun, his right foot, compressing Chakra, kicked Sasuke's fireball.
Boom—
Upon impact, the fireball was immediately dispersed by Naruto's kick.
Shinji, watching this scene from outside the field, also smiled.
"That kid Naruto, he actually incorporated Wind Release Nature Transformation into his Taijutsu?"
Seeing his fireball so easily broken by Naruto, Sasuke threw ninja tools to block Naruto's attack.
With a pull and a flick of Sasuke's hand, the shuriken that Naruto had mostly dodged suddenly changed direction and flew towards Naruto.
Shuriken Manipulation Technique?
It seemed Sasuke hadn't rested since he went back recently.
Naruto, constantly dodging, couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Sasuke, "Arrogant Sasuke, that move of yours is really annoying!"
'Opportunity!'
Sasuke, who had been paying attention to Naruto's position, didn't respond. He immediately spotted Naruto's blind spot.
He sharply pulled his hand, and the shuriken in Naruto's blind spot flew towards Naruto's back.
Bang—
As Sasuke's whuriken pierced Naruto's back, Naruto's figure immediately burst into smoke.
"Shadow Clone! When?"
Sasuke was truly surprised this time. He knew Naruto's style, so during their recent fight, he had been observing all along, but he hadn't noticed Naruto making any movements to use Shadow Clone.
"When I kicked away your fireball, arrogant Sasuke."
As Naruto's voice just sounded, Sasuke was kicked away.
Shinji rubbed his forehead. So now, the Great Fireball Technique was not only smoke and no damage, it was also often seized by Naruto as an opportunity, becoming a tactic that could deceive Sasuke?
Naruto, with a smug expression, pulled Sasuke up and said, "Hehe, Sasuke, as long as you don't activate your Sharingan, this move is exceptionally effective."
