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

Chapter 136 Kitazawa's First Battle as a Jonin (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Yakushi Kabuto, you go first."

Kakashi Hatake muttered something under his breath, then flung out a large number of shuriken with a flick of his wrists.

"How can it be that easy?"

The leader of the Iwagakure ninja captain sneered and ordered, "Leave them all here!"

Earth Release: Fist Rock!

His hands were covered by rocks, and after clenching his fists, he slammed them down.

The shuriken struck the rock fist and bounced outwards.

Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake drew his short sword and slashed at his wrist.

The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team was startled.

The dagger was incredibly fast, striking his wrist in the blink of an eye.

Despite the layer of rock, he could still vaguely feel a stinging sensation.

"You are not an unknown person."

The Iwagakure ninja captain was alert, but his reaction was swift.

Earth Escape·Seismic Core!
He stepped back and formed a hand seal.

Just as Kakashi Hatake was about to give chase, his body suddenly trembled.

The flat ground rapidly rose up, forming a huge stone pillar that lifted him into the air.

Kakashi Hatake frowned and revealed his Sharingan.

"Are you a ninja from the Uchiha clan?"

The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team unconsciously showed a look of surprise on his face.

The Uchiha clan is legendary in the ninja world for being invincible in one-on-one combat.

But this also illustrates the importance of Yakushi-kabuto.

"No, that's not right. You only have one Sharingan. You are the Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake!"

The Iwagakure ninja captain suddenly realized what was happening and said...

Kakashi Hatake is just too famous.

In addition, their distinctive features make them easy to identify.

The Iwagakure ninja captain immediately became serious.

He dared not relax his guard in the slightest when facing Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake glanced at Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi instinctively, and was momentarily stunned.

Kabuto Yakushi is fighting three Chunin by himself. Although he is at a disadvantage, he doesn't seem to be in immediate danger.

Kitazawa was the one who shocked him the most; he fought against two Jonin by himself and actually withstood their attacks.

Kakashi Hatake then realized that he hadn't lied; his strength was not just good, it was formidable.

But he didn't have time to think much before he plunged into the battle.

He needs to deal with the Iwagakure ninja captain first before he can help Kitazawa and Kabuto.

Rewind the clock by half a minute.

After Kakashi Hatake launched the attack, Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi were immediately surrounded.

The remaining five Iwagakure ninjas consciously divided the battlefield.

Kitazawa was blocked by two Jonin, one in front and one behind.

Kabuto Yakushi was one of the three Chunin, but because he looked very young, he wasn't considered a big threat.

In fact, that's normal.

Kabuto Yakushi, without Orochimaru's tutelage, is only passable in combat, at the level of a Chunin.

Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!
The young Jonin formed hand seals and launched the first attack.

A large number of rocks transformed into long spears and pierced towards Kitazawa.

The middle-aged Jonin behind Kitazawa expressionlessly drew his katana and slashed at Kitazawa's head with incredible speed.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
Kitazawa's body transformed into countless leaves and disappeared from the spot.

The attacks of the two Jonin both landed on empty air.

"careful!"

The young Jonin offered a reminder, then stood back-to-back with the middle-aged Jonin in defensive formation.

Wind Release: Shuriken!
Two spinning shuriken hurtled toward them.

"Over there! Come over here!"

With a flick of his wrist, the middle-aged ninja met the shuriken with his katana.

Chakra surged forth, forming a dense array of sword-like lights in the air.

The two spinning shuriken came to an abrupt halt.

Instantaneous technique!
The young Jonin immediately arrived in front of Kitazawa.

Earth Release: Fist Rock!

A cruel smile appeared on his face as he threw a punch.

Just then, a feather floated down in front of him.

Caught off guard, the young Jonin was momentarily dazed.

not good!

It's an illusion!
when?
The young ninja caught a glimpse of the second Kitazawa not far away out of the corner of his eye.

Clearly, he used the Shadow Clone Technique while Konoha was escaping using the Body Flicker Technique.

The young Jonin's thoughts raced as he hurriedly formed hand seals, trying to break free from the illusion's influence, but it was too late.

Rasengan!
Having already prepared himself, Kitazawa smashed the object into his heart without hesitation.

The young ninja's clothes ripped instantly, followed by flesh and blood.

He broke free of the illusion and screamed in agony.

Kitazawa didn't dare to linger. As he unleashed a Rasengan with his right hand, he used his left hand to slash a shuriken across the young Jonin's neck.

Fresh blood spurted out.

The young man closed his eyes reluctantly.

He thought Kitazawa was good at wind techniques, but he didn't expect his illusion techniques to be just as good.

Insufficient intelligence plunged him into perpetual darkness.

"what?"

The middle-aged ninja finally changed color.

From the moment he blocked the Wind Release: Shuriken to the moment the young Jonin died, the entire process took less than three seconds.

Well done!

Seeing this, Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was surrounded earlier, he really had a feeling that he was going to die there.

But to his surprise, the situation took an unexpected turn; Kitazawa's strength far exceeded his expectations.

If the young ninja were to die, their pressure would be greatly reduced.

"how is this possible?"

The Iwagakure ninja captain's eyes widened.

Although the young Jonin's strength wasn't particularly high, he was still a Jonin after all.

They were instantly killed at the start?

This is absolutely unbelievable!
Kakashi Hatake is famous, so he can understand.

But where did Kitazawa come from to become an elite Jonin?

"Is that the Rasengan?"

Kakashi Hatake was even more surprised than the captain of the Iwagakure ninja.

The Rasengan is a ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was also his teacher.

How could Kitazawa know the Rasengan?

But now that he was in the midst of a battle, he could only suppress his doubts.

The battle continues.

The middle-aged Jonin regained his senses and immediately formed hand seals.

The next second, two shadow clones appeared.

The middle-aged ninja kicked off with both feet, his body turning into a blur.

He gripped the katana with both hands, and instantly a dazzling light flashed from the blade.

Wind Release: Shuriken!
Kitazawa reacted quickly, throwing out a spiraling shuriken.

But at that moment, the two shadow clones of the middle-aged Jonin made a move.

First, an earthen wall appeared, blocking Kitazawa's Wind Release: Shuriken. Then, the ground rose up, lifting him into the air.

This position is the most suitable for a middle-aged Jonin to perform at his best.

Several beams of sword light swept across the sky, sealing off the area around Beize.

Kitazawa didn't dodge; instead, he turned into a cloud of smoke.

"Why is it a shadow clone?"

The middle-aged ninja was taken aback.

Because Kitazawa used the Rasengan to kill the young Jonin, he subconsciously believed that this was the real Kitazawa.

But the true form is Kitazawa, who just used the Nirvana Abode technique.

"not good!"

The middle-aged ninja quickly sheathed his sword and turned around to look.

The first gate of the Eight Gates Formation!
Kitazawa arrived before him like an arrow released from a bow.

The first three gates of the Eight Gates are a safe zone where chakra is still controllable, so ninjutsu can be used.

However, starting from the fourth gate, the chakra becomes too violent, making it virtually impossible to use ninjutsu except for taijutsu.

The middle-aged ninja's pupils contracted as he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Then, the Rasengan that had killed the young Jonin reappeared.

The swirling chakra, gathered together, magnified in his eyes and finally struck his heart.

The middle-aged ninja screamed in agony.

But he did not die immediately.

His two shadow clones were both shocked and furious, and without hesitation formed hand seals.

Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!
Countless spears flew out from the ground.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
As Kitazawa created distance, he formed hand seals and spat out a ball of flame.

The flames rose with the wind and immediately split into three fire dragons.

This is Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
Under Kitazawa's control, three fire dragons pounced on the middle-aged Jonin.

The intense heat swept through, distorting the air, and visible air waves roared as the fire dragon surged.

The shadow clone on the left of the middle-aged Jonin was immediately hit and turned into smoke in the flames.

Although the shadow clone on the right escaped unscathed, his real body was directly swallowed up by the fire dragon.

"Ahhh!"

The middle-aged ninja caught fire.

Clothes, hair, and flesh along with blood turned charred black from the burning.

The flames grew even stronger.

"What a terrifying fire escape!"

Hearing the scream, Kabuto instinctively glanced over.

He was quite knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a skillful fire jutsu before.

"No!"

The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team looked at the middle-aged Jonin who suddenly became a familiar face, his face full of disbelief.

How long has it been? Less than a minute, and they've already lost two Jonin?
Could Kitazawa be the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in disguise?
"He actually learned the Eight Gates Formation?"

Kakashi Hatake felt that both the young and middle-aged Jonin deserved their defeats.

Both the Rasengan and the Eight Gates are renowned ninjutsu.

Furthermore, Kitazawa was relatively unknown, and even if he were considered a member of the Hokage's Anbu, no one would believe that an ordinary Anbu member would know these two ninjutsu.

Moreover, he is proficient in illusion, wind release, and fire release techniques.

Although Jonin are required to be as versatile as possible, truly versatile Jonin are few and far between.

If he were facing Kitazawa without knowing any information, he might have failed miserably.

opportunity!

Kakashi Hatake noticed the distraction of the Iwagakure ninja captain and immediately burrowed underground.

"Using Earth Release techniques against Iwagakure ninjas is useless!"

The Iwagakure ninja captain recognized it as Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique and leaped into the air without hesitation.

Boom!
Kakashi Hatake followed closely behind.

A large amount of lightning spread out and enveloped his right hand.

Even during the day, so many lightning bolts gathered together are dazzling.

The Iwagakure ninja captain's expression changed drastically.

Kakashi Hatake, carrying a terrifying aura, cleaved towards his heart, as if he would pierce him through in the next second.

At the critical moment of life and death, the captain of the Iwagakure ninja raised his arms.

Earth Release chakra surged forth, forming rocks on the surface of his skin.

But the next second, Kakashi Hatake's right hand, crackling with lightning, severed both of his arms like a sharp sword.

Blood splattered across the sky.

A sharp pain shot through him, causing the Iwagakure ninja captain to look at Kakashi Hatake with a horrified expression.

Kakashi Hatake's response was simple.

He drew his short sword and plunged it into the heart of the Iwagakure ninja captain.

The two landed.

Kakashi Hatake landed standing up, but the Iwagakure ninja captain was never able to stand up again.

"Run!"

The remaining three Chunin abandoned Kabuto Yakushi without hesitation and turned to run away.

Kakashi Hatake raised his hand, and the short sword flew out, hitting one of the Chunin.

Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!
Kitazawa opened his mouth and spat out a series of flames.

The flames formed the shape of a flower in the air, and when they dissipated, three corpses lay on the ground.

"saved!"

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Right now, facing three Chunin is still too dangerous for him.

Fortunately, the two ANBU ninjas who came to their aid were extremely skilled.

There's the renowned Kakashi Hatake, and also Kitazawa, who, though less famous, is no less powerful.

Kabuto Yakushi was unaware of Kitazawa's true identity, only believing him to be a member of the Anbu.

But Kakashi Hatake knew that he was just a teacher at the Ninja Academy.

Is it a waste for someone with such talent to be a teacher at a ninja academy?

Kakashi Hatake sensed something was amiss.

In his memory, Kitazawa was just an ordinary Chunin. How did he become so outrageous?

Kitazawa took out a summoning storage scroll and put all the corpses of the Iwagakure ninjas into it.

Three Jonin and three Chunin – this is an extremely rare achievement.

Especially outside of the Ninja Wars, it is extremely rare for three Jonin to die together.

And most importantly, they suffered no damage whatsoever.

In addition, these six ninjas themselves are of great value.

Handing them over to the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan will yield a lot of information.

The only pity is that they didn't carry any ninjutsu scrolls with them.

Otherwise, Kitazawa could have acquired quite a few Earth Release ninjutsu.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; who would carry a ninjutsu scroll around for no reason?

Kitazawa closed the summoning scroll, reflecting on his first battle as a Jonin.

The sparring with Tsunade doesn't count, since it wasn't a life-or-death battle.

Kitazawa has only one thought right now: advanced ninjutsu is truly useful.

In this battle, the ninjutsu that played the most significant role were basically all A-rank.

Rasengan, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Eight Gates Formation, and Nirvana Abode Technique.

Kitazawa assessed his own strength.

As long as you don't face ninjas with particularly outrageous bloodline limits or powerful individuals like Tsunade, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Kakashi Hatake watched his actions but did not stop him.

Although he killed two of them, Kitazawa, as the captain, did have the right to take the spoils of war.

Kakashi Hatake recalled his previous act of seizing command and suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

His idea at the time was that if he took command, they could accomplish the task better.

To put it bluntly, it's because they don't trust Kitazawa's abilities.

Now it seems that this violated the rules.

After all, Kitazawa was the captain handpicked by Tsunade.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Once the Hidden Stone Village discovers their deaths, they will definitely send pursuers."

Kitazawa put away the spirit storage scroll and said, "We will only be safe once we reach the Land of Fire."

"Ah."

Kakashi Hatake nodded.

Kitazawa turned to look at Yakushi Kabuto, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Because he was using palm magic to heal himself.

Kakashi Hatake was somewhat surprised to see this.

For someone of Kabuto's age to be able to learn the Palm Healing Technique is definitely the mark of a genius in medical ninjutsu.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to send a genius from one's own village to another village as a spy.

But considering that Kabuto Yakushi is a member of Root, it's not surprising at all.

Kakashi Hatake also has some knowledge of the root system.

Danzo Shimura's favorite thing was to plunder geniuses and make them grow stronger by killing each other.

Sending geniuses as spies is standard practice.

"I'll help you."

Kitazawa stepped forward and formed a hand seal.

Kabuto Yakushi stared blankly at the green chakra that was emerging.

Does he even know medical ninjutsu?
How come such a versatile and powerful ninja isn't famous?

Kabuto sensed something was amiss.

After the treatment was over, the three of them immediately set off again.

They stopped after arriving in the Land of Fire in the evening.

"We'll rest here for the night."

Kitazawa exhaled and said.

Having just finished a fierce battle with Jonin and traveled all day, even he felt exhausted.

Kabuto nodded quickly.

He plopped down on the ground.

Kakashi Hatake and Kitazawa were at least uninjured; he was recovering from a serious illness, and his body had long been at its limit.

"Parker, keep watch for us."

Kakashi Hatake summoned Pakkun again.

Having a summoning beast in the Kitazawa secret passage is quite convenient.

He thought of Tsunade's summoning beast, the slug, one of the three holy lands.

Throughout the ninja world, the consensus among ninjas is that the most powerful summoning beasts originate from the three sacred lands.

The toads of Mount Myoboku, the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest, and the snakes of Ryuchi Cave.

In addition to summoned beasts, they also possess Sage Mode and Sage Arts that can dramatically increase one's strength.

[Current Mission: Safely escort Kabuto Yakushi back to Konoha Village.]

[Quest Reward: Yin Healing and Destruction.]

[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Is this an early demotion?

Kitazawa had some doubts.

After all, the mission was to escort Kabuto Yakushi back to Konoha, but they are still in the Land of Fire.

Did the Hidden Stone Village give up the pursuit?

Regardless, it's a good thing.

Kitazawa obtained the Yin Healing and Extinguishing Technique, and also acquired a defensive medical ninjutsu.

It can play a significant role in battle.

……

three days ago.

The secret service office.

Yakushi Nonou looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression.

She had just finished eating, packed her things, and was preparing to set off for the Land of Earth to carry out a mission when she was intercepted by two ANBU ninjas.

"Your mission has been cancelled, Nonou."

Tsunade waved her hand and said domineeringly, "From today onwards, you no longer need to work for Shimura Danzo."

Yakushi Nonou suddenly widened her eyes.

She felt as if she were in a dream.

what's the situation?
Although she had thought about one day being able to break away from Shimura Danzo and Root, when the time actually came, she still felt bewildered.

"Tsunade-sama."

Suddenly remembering something, Yakushi Nonou quickly said, "The orphanage and Yakushi Kabuto..."

"I've already spoken to the old man. From now on, the orphanage will be directly managed by Konoha, and there will be regular funding every year."

Tsunade interrupted her, saying, "As for Kabuto Yakushi, I have already sent Kakashi and Kitazawa to bring him back."

"Kitazawa?"

Yakushi Nono was taken aback.

She naturally knew the famous Kakashi Hatake.

But what about Kitazawa?

"You should thank Kitazawa for this."

Tsunade smiled and explained the whole story.

Yakushi Nonou opened her mouth wide upon hearing this.

She never imagined that her casual talk with Kitazawa about going on a mission to the Land of Earth would escalate to this point.
And Kitazawa actually helped her like this?
In comparison, she didn't do much; she just took him through some surgeries and gave him a few pointers on medical ninjutsu.
