I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Chapter 135 Danzo: The Hokage is Mine! (First and Second Updates)

Konoha Village Root Base.

Danzo Shimura picked up the scroll on the table and began to read it.

This was his routine; he would check on the Uchiha clan's movements every day.

"What exactly is Tsunade trying to do?"

Danzo Shimura put down the scroll and said with a gloomy expression.

Since Tsunade returned to the village, the Uchiha clan has become much more well-behaved.

On the one hand, without conflict, Root no longer had many opportunities to target the Uchiha clan.

On the other hand, he was worried about Tsunade because she had stayed in Konoha for too long.

"Could it be that she really wants to become Hokage?"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fists instinctively.

When the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, died from the Nine-Tails' attack, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, returned to power to stabilize the panicked situation.

But everyone knew he was appointed in a time of crisis, and given his advanced age, he wouldn't be able to hold the position for long.

Currently, there are only three people in Konoha Village who are most qualified to be the Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and him.

Danzo Shimura thought he had the best chance.

Because Tsunade and Jiraiya are often away from home, they don't seem very interested in the Hokage position.

Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to give him the title of Hokage and repeatedly refused.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

A look of displeasure flashed across Shimura Danzo's eyes.

After saying that, I felt much better.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi won't give it to him, Danzo Shimura can wait; he can outlive him.

But Tsunade's return to the village disrupted his plans.

It must be admitted that Tsunade has a greater advantage than him in the competition for the Fifth Hokage; he basically can't beat her.

Fortunately, Tsunade did nothing after returning to the village, appearing to be without desires or wants.

Danzo Shimura was temporarily relieved.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Danzo Shimura looked up at the doorway.

"Lord Danzo."

A Root ninja walked in, knelt on one knee, and said, "Just recently, the Anbu reviewed Kabuto Yakushi's information."

"Have you found out why Hiruzen wanted Kabuto Yakushi's information?"

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly and asked.

The Anbu belong only to the Hokage, and only the Hokage can command them.

He subconsciously assumed that the Anbu investigation into Kabuto Yakushi was the work of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's not the Hokage, it's Tsunade."

The Root ninja explained, "The Anbu are acting on Lady Tsunade's orders."

"What did you say?"

Danzo Shimura suddenly stood up, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

He was just feeling relieved that Tsunade had been slacking off since returning to the village, but in the blink of an eye, she had already taken command of the Anbu.
So, is she going to become the Fifth Hokage tomorrow?

"The Hokage has granted Lady Tsunade the authority to temporarily mobilize the Anbu."

The Root ninja continued.

"Temporary?"

Shimura Danzo felt slightly relieved, but remained very vigilant.

He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi very well.

The fact that the Anbu, which belongs exclusively to the Hokage, was temporarily handed over to Tsunade was undoubtedly a signal.

Even if Tsunade doesn't have any ideas, the other ninja clans and ninjas will.

The situation suddenly became very unfavorable.

"Hiruzen, don't you have any feelings for us?"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fist and slammed it down.

There was a bang.

The desk in front of him broke in two.

hateful!

If he had been a step ahead of Hiruzen Sarutobi back then, he would have been the Third Hokage long ago.

We finally got to see the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, die, and now Tsunade has appeared.

If this continues, will he still be able to become Hokage?

"Why is Tsunade investigating Kabuto Yakushi?"

Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Could it be because of Yakushi Nonou?"

After stopping thinking about Naruto, his intelligence regained its dominance.

Kabuto Yakushi is the adopted son of Nono Yakushi.

And Yakushi Nonou has recently been getting very close to Tsunade.

In addition, the Root organization just issued a mission last week, asking her to go to the Land of Earth next week.

Konoha Village is two or three days' journey from the Land of Earth. According to the schedule, Yakushi Nonou should have set off today.

"Go and fetch Yakushi Nonou for me."

Danzo Shimura instructed, "Also, keep an eye on the movements of the Anbu and see if any members leave the village."

"Yes."

The Root ninja turned and left.

"Tsunade! I hope you won't be ungrateful!"

Danzo Shimura reached out and touched his right eye, saying fiercely, "The Hokage is mine!"

Everyone thought his right eye was blind, but in reality, he had replaced it with Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Each Mangekyou Sharingan has a corresponding dojutsu (eye technique), and his dojutsu is Kotoamatsukami.

Simply put, it can silently and stealthily alter the will and thoughts of a target.

However, Danzo Shimura never used it.

It wasn't that he was kind; it was that he was worried people would notice something amiss.

Especially the Uchiha clan.

They might know a great deal about Uchiha Shisui and the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If he were to try and control Hiruzen Sarutobi or Tsunade, and the Uchiha clan were to interfere, that would be very troublesome.

While the various ninja clans and Jonin may not necessarily believe in the Uchiha clan, conversely, they may not necessarily believe in him either.

After all, his reputation is rather bad.

However, Danzo Shimura had no intention of improving his reputation.

Because he is the root buried in darkness.

"Lord Danzo."

The Root ninja returned and said, "Yakushi Nonou has been taken away by Tsunade; we couldn't find her."

"Damn Tsunade!"

Danzo Shimura flew into a rage, "It seems you really intend to oppose me!"

The Root ninja's breath hitched, as he felt a murderous intent permeating the air.

"Go and kill Yakushi Kabuto!"

Danzo Shimura said with a twisted expression, "Tsunade wants him? I won't give him to her!"

"Yes."

The Root ninja agreed without the slightest hesitation.

They were brainwashed by Danzo Shimura; in their minds, Danzo Shimura was greater than Konoha and greater than the Hokage.

"and many more."

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo realized something and said, "It can't be Root that leaked information about Yakushi Kabuto to Iwagakure."

If nothing unexpected happens, Tsunade will definitely send someone to pick up Kabuto Yakushi.

Although the Root members are all quite strong, the Anbu are no slouch either, so casualties are inevitable.

When the memories of the Root members are read by the Yamanaka clan, they will become a threat to him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is no longer his old friend.

With Tsunade interfering, he might actually kill her.

In the original work, he is the liaison for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't kill Kabuto Yakushi; instead, he invited him to join Otogakure.

However, time is of the essence now, and there is no time to find Orochimaru.

"Yes."

The Root ninja stood up.

"Hiruzen! Tsunade!"

Shortly after the Root ninjas left, Danzo Shimura's impotent rage echoed through the office.

……

Night falls.

Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake finally stopped after traveling all day.

Although we need to race against time with the roots, we still need to rest when necessary.

Besides, Kakashi Hatake is always using his Sharingan, so he's already quite weak.

They rushed to Iwagakure without stopping, and if they encountered the enemy while exhausted, it would be a greater loss than gain.

"No fires are allowed during the mission."

Kakashi Hatake cautioned, "We're not far from the Land of Earth right now, and we could encounter Iwagakure ninjas at any moment."

"I know."

As Kitazawa set up the tent, he asked, "Did you bring any food?"

"There are rice balls and sushi."

Kakashi Hatake replied.

Want some snacks?

Kitazawa said with a smile, "I have potato chips, lollipops and cookies here."

Why do you still carry snacks with you?

Kakashi Hatake asked, puzzled.

"It's for the children."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "You know, I'm a ninja academy teacher."

"...?"

Kakashi Hatake was silent for two seconds before saying, "I don't eat snacks."

"The tent is set up, come in."

Kitazawa went into the tent.

"You're a ninja academy instructor, why are you participating in an ANBU mission?"

Kakashi Hatake took a bite of his rice ball and asked.

"This is related to the Konoha ninja who came to our aid. His name is Kabuto Yakushi. He is a member of Root and the adopted son of Nono Yakushi."

Kitazawa explained the whole story to him.

"I see."

Kakashi Hatake nodded slightly and said, "You're a medical ninja, you shouldn't be here."

After Kitazawa's explanation, he understood why he had participated in the Dark Division mission.

Kitazawa received help from Yakushi Nonou, who took him to have surgery and taught him medical ninjutsu.

That's why Kitazawa's version was updated by Kakashi Hatake.

While repaying a debt of gratitude is not wrong, medical ninjas are not good at fighting, and coming here is simply asking for trouble.

"It was Lady Tsunade who taught me medical ninjutsu."

Kitazawa chuckled and asked, "Is Lady Tsunade an ordinary medical ninja?"

Kakashi Hatake was slightly taken aback, but he still didn't quite believe in his strength.

If he really had such great talent, why would he have waited until now?
"Are you really not going to eat any?" Kitazawa asked, handing him a bag of potato chips.

"Thank you."

Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment before taking the potato chips.

"You're welcome."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "After all, we're teammates now."

"After dinner, we took turns keeping watch."

Kakashi Hatake calmly said, "I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you keep watch for the second half."

"Ok."

Kitazawa agreed.

The time came on the third day.

The two successfully arrived at the nearest town to Iwagakure.

"You stay here, I'll infiltrate Iwagakure by myself."

Kakashi Hatake spoke calmly.

"Can you convince Kabuto Yakushi?"

Kitazawa countered with a question.

"The more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "As long as I explain my purpose to Kabuto, he will believe me."

“He’s from Root, you’re from Anbu, and it also involves Senior Nonou. He won’t be so easily persuaded.”

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Besides, my strength is really not bad. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in Lady Tsunade."

Kakashi Hatake hesitated.

"The Fourth Shinobi World War is long over, and Iwagakure won't be that vigilant."

Kitazawa offered his solution: "We can simply find a caravan and infiltrate it."

All five villages have sensory barriers in place.

Forcibly breaking in would be easily discovered.

But there wasn't one at the main gate.

"Well."

Kakashi Hatake eventually agreed.

Just as Kitazawa said, he believed in Tsunade.

The two discussed their plan and immediately put it into action.

Although Wuda Village is called a village, it is actually a fairly large town.

In addition, ninjas have considerable spending power, so many merchants travel between the five villages to do business.

Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake quickly found a sizable caravan, knocked two of the caravan members unconscious, and then used their transformation jutsu to sneak in.

The caravan was stopped at the entrance of Iwagakure Village.

However, they only made a registration and did not conduct a detailed inspection.

As expected, it's not that strict during peacetime.

Kitazawa suddenly thought of a ninja named Karin from the original work, who is also translated as Ari.

She was a spy from the village of Kasugai, and easily infiltrated Konoha Village by posing as a wandering singer.

Kitazawa was impressed by her because she had some connection with Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake saved her, and she admires him.

But because of differing stances, nothing came of it.

In addition, Karin also has the ability to form hand seals with her eyes.

After entering Iwagakure Village, the two took the opportunity to break away from the caravan.

"Be quick."

Kakashi Hatake said with a serious expression, "After a while, the caravan will definitely notice that two people are missing."

"follow me."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

Kabuto Yakushi entered Iwagakure as a spy.

In order to better steal intelligence, he became a ninja in Iwagakure under the arrangement of Root.

The scroll given by Tsunade indicated the location where Kabuto Yakushi currently resides.

A simple map was also included.

It can only be said that the secret service is indeed very thorough in its work, saving them a lot of time.

"It's that two-story wooden house."

Kitazawa stopped and said.

"Wait."

After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he formed hand seals and spread his senses, "There are no Jonin from Iwagakure around."

"Let's just knock on the door."

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa stepped forward.

Soon, the door opened, and a boy appeared in front of them.

Although it was Kitazawa's first time meeting Kabuto Yakushi, he still recognized him.

After all, he, like Kakashi Hatake, also had white hair.

Kabuto Yakushi did not disguise himself while working as a spy in Iwagakure; he used his true identity.

the reason is simple.

Disguise, such as transformation techniques, can be detected.

Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi was trained as a spy from a young age, and even few ninjas in Konoha Village had ever seen his true face.

"who are you?"

"I am wary," Yakushi Kabuto asked cautiously.

"We are ninjas from Konoha Village. We are here to bring you back to Konoha Village on the orders of Lady Tsunade and Senior Nonou."

Kitazawa said quickly.

"What did you say?"

Kabuto was stunned by the sheer amount of information conveyed in that single sentence and stood there speechless.

"We need to hurry, because the Root ninjas could make a move at any moment."

Kitazawa said in a deep voice.

"Why should I trust you?"

After organizing his thoughts, Kabuto asked.

He knew Yakushi Nonou and knew that she had always wanted to get rid of Root and Shimura Danzo.

With Tsunade's help, it is indeed possible.

However, Yakushi Kabuto is more cautious.

What if Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake were sent by Danzo Shimura to test his loyalty?

Such things do happen even at the root.

"Your glasses and name were gifts from Nono-senpai."

Kitazawa added, "If you still don't believe me, you can leave a shadow clone behind. In less than half an hour, someone will come to kill you."

Kabuto's expression changed slightly.

Although he often wears glasses, few people know that they were a gift from Yakushi Nonou.

I'll believe you for now.

Kabuto thought for a moment, then formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.

"Walk."

Kakashi Hatake advised, "Let's get out of the village first, lest we get trapped in Iwagakure."

Although he had closed his heart and buried his love, he had plenty of experience as a ninja.

After all, he was a super genius who graduated at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve.

The three had barely left the village when Yakushi Kabuto suddenly trembled and stopped.

"Did something happen to the shadow clone?"

Kitazawa asked, guessing.

"Ah."

Kabuto nodded and said, "But it wasn't the Root that made the move, but the ninjas from Iwagakure."

"It's a case of using someone else to do the dirty work."

Kitazawa immediately understood, "Shimura Danzo sold your information to Iwagakure."

"how many people?"

Kakashi Hatake asked in a deep voice.

"Three Jonin and three Chunin."

The pharmacist frowned slightly and said.

"It seems we're in quite a bit of trouble."

Kakashi Hatake glanced around, not believing that Kitazawa and Kabuto could take on two opponents at once.

“We have the advantage of being able to get ahead, and if we’re lucky, they won’t be able to catch up with us.”

Kitazawa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that there were three Jonin and three Chunin.

Although it's a bit difficult, it's still within an acceptable range.

"It's not that easy."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "Every ninja village has many ninjas who are extremely skilled at tracking."

After he finished speaking, he bit his thumb and slapped it on the ground.

A ninja dog appeared from the smoke.

"Parker."

Kakashi Hatake instructed, "Lead the way, and let us know if there are any enemies nearby."

"Ok."

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Parker didn't ask any more questions and turned to run.

Kitazawa looked at it curiously.

Parker has a significant role in the original comics.

It is one of Kakashi Hatake's summoning beasts, with a keen sense of smell, strong perception, and a talent for tracking.

In the original work, it achieved numerous victories.

It tracked down Gaara, Zabuza Momochi, Sasori, Sasuke Uchiha, and many other ninjas.

He also said a famous line to Sakura Haruno: "You use the same shampoo as me, but my fur is still much softer."

The three followed Puck toward the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

Thanks to Parker's keen sense of smell, no battles occurred along the way.

But just when the three thought they could reach the Land of Fire smoothly, something unexpected happened.

The ground cracked open, and the soil transformed into dense spears that pierced towards the three of them.

"He's an Earth Release ninja."

Parker quickly said, "He's underground, I can't smell him."

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Kakashi Hatake forms hand seals.

Before him, the ground rose up, and a thick wall appeared.

There are also three dog heads on the wall.

The dense array of spears crashed into the earthen wall and immediately became embedded within it.

However, the earthen wall also developed cracks from this attack.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Kitazawa leaped up, landed on the wall, and spat out a gigantic fireball at the Earth Release ninja.

Temperatures soared, and the distorted air currents looked terrifying amidst the flames.

Boom!
The fireball crashed to the ground, leaving it charred black.

The Earth Release ninja narrowly avoided the fireball's range at the last second.

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out.

Five more Iwagakure ninjas appeared one by one and surrounded them.

Kakashi Hatake's expression darkened; he sensed something was amiss.

　Five thousand words, two chapters combined.
