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

Chapter 191 The Mission to Support Asma (First and Second Updates)

"Let the sparring begin."

Kitazawa volunteered to act as the referee.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Hatake Kakashi, who was standing still, and without any hesitation, he leaned back and spat out a large fireball.

A wave of heat rolled in, and the giant fireball, radiating scorching heat like the sun, flew out at an extremely fast speed.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Kakashi Hatake calmly formed hand seals.

As the fireball flew halfway through its flight, a wall of earth carved with three dog heads rose up.

Bang.

The fireball crashed into the earthen wall and shattered into pieces.

Shadow Clone Technique!
Seeing that the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique was ineffective, Sasuke Uchiha immediately created two shadow clones.

Konoha whirlwind!

As soon as the shadow clones appeared, they rushed towards Kakashi Hatake from the left and right.

Kakashi Hatake, seeing the familiar taijutsu, raised his leg and delivered a series of kicks, shattering the two shadow clones.

Uchiha Sasuke felt his pupils dilate.

He took down two of his shadow clones with just one simple kick?
Genjutsu·Shiranui!
Uchiha Sasuke formed hand seals again.

The two-tomoe Sharingan trembled slightly, and an invisible wave spread outwards.

Kakashi Hatake ignored him and used a Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Sasuke Uchiha.

He threw a punch without any expression on his face.

Uchiha Sasuke instinctively stretched out his arms to block.

The next second, an unparalleled power surged forth.

Uchiha Sasuke felt his arms go numb and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

Kitazawa appeared behind him, grabbed him, and safely brought him to the ground.

"Still fighting?"

Kakashi Hatake asked calmly.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke, still shaken, looked at him, unsure of what to say.

Although it was only a brief encounter, he felt suppressed in every way, and his resistance was futile from beginning to end.

Even his illusion magic, which he was skilled at, didn't work.

Moreover, it was obvious that Kakashi Hatake did not use his full strength, only using Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall and Body Flicker Technique.

"Kakashi, did Sasuke pass the test?"

Kitazawa chuckled and asked.

"Half of it has passed."

Kakashi Hatake casually remarked, "The other half depends on whether he possesses the talent for Lightning Release."

"I definitely do!"

Uchiha Sasuke said instinctively.

But the confidence he once had was gone from his tone.

"You should begin training in Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation."

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him and said.

"Kakashi, I'm leaving Sasuke in your care. I have other things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

Kitazawa patted Uchiha Sasuke on the shoulder and said with a smile.

He planned to come over and freeload when Kakashi Hatake taught him Lightning Release: Chidori.

The training grounds of the ninja academy.

Naruto Uzumaki, Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuga have already started their training ahead of schedule.

Kitazawa glanced at it and then created two shadow clones.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up to him.

Kitazawa assigned tasks to the two shadow clones.

One stayed at the training ground, and the other went to the artificial lake.

"Let's go to the mission lobby."

Kitazawa led his ninja squad to the Hokage Building.

"Teacher Kitazawa, what level of mission are we going to take on this time?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and asked.

"Grade B or Grade A".

Kitazawa glanced at the tasks on the wall and said casually.

Although his ninja squad was strong enough, it was still far inferior to that of a Jonin.

Neither Kabuto Yakushi nor Torune Aburame could be considered proper Jonin; at most, they were at the level of Special Jonin.

Needless to say, Uchiha Izumi, with her one-tomoe Sharingan, was already an elite-level genin.

In the original work, she awakened her three-tomoe Sharingan after being stimulated on the night of the massacre of her clan.

Given the current situation, whether or not there will be a Night of Extermination is now a question.

Without it, her strength certainly wouldn't have increased so dramatically as it did in the original work.

But then again, they are all very young, and it's only a matter of time before they become Jonin.

Kitazawa frowned after watching for a while.

As he expected, he couldn't find any missions involving lone Jonin.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kabuto raised his hand and asked, "What do you think of this mission?"

Kitazawa looked in the direction he pointed.

It's a B-rank mission, and the objective is to eliminate a group of wandering ninjas who have occupied a mine in the Land of Iron.

Although this group of wandering ninjas did not have any Jonin, they did have five Chunin.

It must be said that Kabuto Yakushi's choice was very appropriate.

In terms of strength, they are well-suited to be the first high-level mission for their ninja squad.

However, this mission did not meet the system's standards, meaning it couldn't enhance the reputation of their ninja team.

Kitazawa suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

He missed one person: Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The missions that ninjas take on are divided into two types.

One type is the mission hall, which consists of commissions issued by daimyo, nobles, and merchants from various countries.

Another type is a mission directly issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi, or the Hokage.

"You guys wait for me here."

Kitazawa turned and left, heading to the Hokage's office.

He had originally planned to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi after accepting the mission.

After all, the new ninjutsu created by Tsunade was to be handed over to him.

"Kitazawa, you've come at the perfect time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "I was just about to have Haru inform you that Kosuke has agreed to become a teacher in the genius class."

"Thank you for your help, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa quickly replied.

"It's all for Konoha, so it's not really about helping."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said nonchalantly.

"Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa took out a scroll and said, "This is the latest psychological medical ninjutsu researched by Lady Tsunade."

"Oh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, quite surprised, "Why didn't Tsunade come?"

"She's at the casino."

Kitazawa said without changing his expression.

In fact, he could guess why Tsunade hadn't seen Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It was probably Hiruzen Sarutobi's machinations after the student council selection competition that made her feel dissatisfied.

"She's still the same as always."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think much of it and opened the scroll to take a look.

After reading it, he fell into deep thought.

This emotional substitution technique was more effective than he had imagined.

His idea was similar to Kitazawa's; it could be used for both psychological therapy and combat.

“Rank A ninjutsu is very valuable.”

After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "This time I'll give you two million ryo."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa immediately said.

"You can give Tsunade her money."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the ninjutsu scroll and said.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "Lord Hokage, there is something I would like to ask you for help with."

"what's up?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took a puff, and asked with a contented air.

"My ninja squad has completed many D-rank missions in the past month, and the team members have all become close with the villagers."

Kitazawa looked troubled and said, "My next plan is to take on a suitable high-level mission, but I haven't found one after looking around."

"It's more than just a lot. You've completed ninety D-level missions in less than a month. Your team is truly unique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with satisfaction, "And you did a very good job. Many villagers have given you rave reviews."

"It's all thanks to my three teammates."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

“Your ninja squad certainly has the capability to handle high-level missions.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and asked, "I also have quite a few high-level missions here. What are your requirements?"

If it were an ordinary ninja, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to and would just casually give them a task.

But Kitazawa is Tsunade's student, that is, her grand-disciple.

In addition, Kitazawa has a good family background, which makes him very satisfied, so it is normal for him to give him more preferential treatment.

"Ideally, it should involve a Jonin mission, but my three team members are not strong enough, so it can't be too dangerous."

Kitazawa pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Your request puts me in a difficult position."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly laughed and said, "But there is indeed one."

Is there really such a thing?

Kitazawa quickly expressed his gratitude.

“This is my personal mission.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone became serious as he spoke.

Kitazawa was taken aback.

What is the deal with private missions?
His first thought was that it was a task like catching someone in the act of adultery.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife, Biwako Sarutobi, had already been killed by Obito Uchiha during the Nine-Tails' attack.

"It's related to Asuma."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "Asuma was rebellious and didn't want to stay in Konoha, so he went to the Land of Fire to become a Guardian Ninja."

Kitazawa's expression became subtly ambiguous upon hearing Sarutobi Asuma's name. Did Sarutobi Hiruzen not know about his relationship with Yuhi Kurenai?
Logically, they should have noticed something.

After all, the two of them hadn't deliberately tried to hide it from each other.

"I recently received intelligence that there are problems within the Guardian Ninja, which have split into two factions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression, "One faction is led by Asuma, and the other by Kazuma. The two factions have already fought several fierce battles."

Kitazawa had a sudden thought and remembered the plot of the original work.

Although it was only mentioned briefly in the original work, it is true.

Simply put, Kazuma believed that the Land of Fire should only have a Daimyo, not a Hokage, and that all power should belong to the Daimyo.

This idea naturally drew opposition from Sarutobi Asuma and others, ultimately leading to a major battle between the two sides.

As a result, Kazuma's side suffered heavy losses, and the Guardian Shinobi disbanded.

Sarutobi Asuma returned to Konoha and became the mentor of Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji.

"Does the Hokage mean for me to go to the Land of Fire to help Asuma?"

Kitazawa asked.

“This matter involves a powerful figure and is quite sensitive. I originally did not plan to send anyone there, but you are one of the few suitable candidates.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Because your teacher is Tsunade."

Kitazawa understood after a moment's thought.

The Guardian Shinobi are the personal bodyguards of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Kazuma's proposal was also very beneficial to the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Who knows, the daimyo of the Land of Fire might be secretly supporting him.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely wanted Asuma Sarutobi to win, after all, he was a supporter of the Kage faction and also his own son.

However, as he said, this matter is too sensitive.

Konoha's forceful intervention in this matter will definitely displease the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

As for Kitazawa, he was Tsunade's student.

Tsunade was also very familiar with the Daimyo's family in the Land of Fire; in fact, their relationship could be described as very close.

"That being said, it cannot be said that it was my duty to go and help."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "Just say you were passing by and thought of Asuma, so you came to visit your classmate."

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa suddenly understood.

Besides being Tsunade's student, he also has the identity of Sarutobi Asuma's classmate.

In that case, even if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire suspects him, he will have no evidence.

It must be said that in most matters, Hiruzen Sarutobi can be described as a cunning old fox.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "Then our team will take on this mission."

Is it dangerous? Yes, it is, but it's still within an acceptable range.

There are twelve Guardian Ninjas in total.

Judging from his performance, he is only on par with Jonin level, along with Asuma Sarutobi and Jiraiya.

Besides, the outcome was already decided in the original work; Kazuma and the others were destined to lose.

Kitazawa and his ninja squad can just go and mess around.

Of course, considering the requirements of the system tasks, we can find an opportunity to kill He Ma and the others.

After all, the reputation of the Guardian Ninja is quite high.

"This mission is designated as S-rank, with a reward of one million taels."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then said.

It involves twelve special Jonin and Jonin, and is also related to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so classifying it as S-rank is quite reasonable.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and asked, "Should I leave right after the Jonin meeting?"

"can."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "You don't need to worry too much. As far as I know, Asuma and his group have the upper hand now."

If it's too dangerous, he won't let Kitazawa and his ninja squad go.

If something really happens, Tsunade will demolish the Hokage Building.

After finishing their discussion, Kitazawa left the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched his figure, picked up his pipe, and took another puff.

Kitazawa and Kurenai were very close, so he naturally knew that.

He also knew that Sarutobi Asuma had been pursuing Kurenai Yuhi.

But when young people are dating, fair competition is all that matters.

Furthermore, with Tsunade's connection to Kitazawa, Hiruzen Sarutobi is unlikely to intervene to help Asuma Sarutobi.

That would be too degrading.

Kitazawa returned to the mission hall.

Although supporting Sarutobi Asuma felt a little strange, he saw it as an opportunity.

how to say?

Sarutobi Asuma is actually a nice person.

Kitazawa didn't want to have any conflict with Kurenai because of Yuhi.

It wouldn't be difficult to get Sarutobi Asuma to give up.

After all, he had already defeated Kurenai Yuhi, and what he needed to do was demonstrate his formidable strength.

In the ninja world, strength is ultimately paramount, and he and Sarutobi Asuma were competing fairly.

Given his exceptional talent, Sarutobi Asuma, no matter how unwilling he was, had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

The three, including Kabuto, quickly came to greet them.

"Let's go back."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "I accepted an S-rank mission from the Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Kabuto and the other two showed expressions of surprise.

Although they are quite capable, S-rank missions are still too early for them.

What exactly is the mission?

Kabuto Yakushi's instincts as an intelligence agent were triggered, and he began to ponder.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi entrusted this task to them, he believed they could complete it.

This S-rank mission shouldn't be as difficult as he imagined.

"I'll tell you when we get to the capital of the Land of Fire."

Kitazawa glanced at him and said, "You'll be in charge of gathering intelligence then."

"Ok."

The pharmacist raised an eyebrow, and roughly understood.

This is Kitazawa's test for them.

But intelligence gathering is his forte.

But what S-rank mission is in the metropolis of the Land of Fire? Could it be related to the Daimyo?

"Go back and prepare well. We'll depart next Monday."

Kitazawa cautioned, "This mission will likely take us a long time, so let's prepare for about two weeks."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The three, including Yakushi Kabuto, answered in unison.

See you next Monday.

Kitazawa parted ways with them at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

"Kitazawa?"

Hearing the door open, Kurenai instinctively turned to look at the entrance.

When she saw that it really was Kitazawa, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Why are you back at this time?"

Kurenai asked while practicing the heavy sealing of her limbs.

Although the holiday had started, Kitazawa, as usual, didn't go home until 5 or 6 pm because of the winter break training.

It's only a little before 10 a.m.

"I just accepted an S-rank mission from the Hokage."

Kitazawa stepped forward, admiring her graceful figure, and said with a smile.

At home, Kurenai wore a silk nightgown.

The silk nightgown is very thin, and when worn, it accentuates the curves of the body.

"Why is it an S-rank mission?"

Kurenai Yuhi's gaze sharpened, and she asked.

"It's a mission to support Asma."

Kitazawa explained the details of the mission to her.

"This mission is too dangerous, I'll go with you."

Kurenai Yuhi said without hesitation.

"Ah."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then spoke of his previous thoughts.

"I'll listen to you."

Kurenai understood what he meant.

Demonstrating your strength and making him back down is undoubtedly the best approach.

After all, she didn't want to become mortal enemies with Sarutobi Asuma; they were classmates, after all.

"We're leaving next Monday."

Kitazawa stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and said.

"Next Monday? That's perfect timing."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "We can celebrate your birthday first and then go."

“I had forgotten that Sunday was the 21st if you hadn’t mentioned it.”

Kitazawa turned and kissed her delicate profile, saying, "Thank you."

He doesn't really care much about birthdays.

After all, he was all alone.

However, with the addition of sunset glow this year, it will definitely be much more lively than in previous years.

"What gift do you want?"

Kurenai returned his kiss and asked.

Who would ask that directly?

Kitazawa patted her buttocks and asked, "Are you trying to slack off?"

“I just don’t want to waste it.”

Kurenai rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fine, I'll take the loss and give you the gift you want most."

"What's the gift I want most?"

Kitazawa asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is it? How come I don't know about it?"

To be fair, he lacks nothing now; at least Kurenai Yuhi has given him what he was supposed to.

"secret."

Kurenai licked her lips and said, "You'll see when the time comes."
