Chapter 193 Kitazawa's Birthday (First and Second Updates)

The Jonin meeting has ended.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Kitazawa was surrounded.

Many Jonin asked about the issues they were concerned about.

For example, what are the requirements to become a teacher in a gifted class?

Before this Jonin meeting, being a teacher at the Ninja Academy was definitely an undesirable profession, but now it has become highly sought after.

It took Kitazawa half an hour to finally shake them off.

As he left the meeting room, he saw Kabuto Yakushi not far away.

"Kabuto, what are you doing here? Did the team run into some trouble?"

Kitazawa stepped forward and asked.

"No, it's the three of us who want to treat the teacher to lunch."

Kabuto smiled gently and said, "After all, we're leaving Konoha tomorrow, and we won't be able to eat this for a while."

"Let's go then, it's almost noon."

Kitazawa glanced at the sky and said.

The meeting started at nine in the morning and lasted for two hours. After the meeting, it was delayed for another half hour, and now it's time for lunch.

Normally, he would eat lunch with Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others at the Ninja Academy.

But since Kabuto Yakushi had invited him, he couldn't very well refuse.

"Want some barbecue?"

Kitazawa followed him to the barbecue restaurant.

But he soon discovered the problem.

The barbecue restaurant was completely deserted; it was incredibly quiet.

He was a regular customer at this barbecue restaurant, having visited many times.

When I came before, business was always good; there was never a situation where the place was empty.

Kitazawa glanced at Kabuto Yakushi, but didn't expose him.

"Teacher Kitazawa, this way please."

Kabuto raised his hand and said, "We've booked a deluxe private room."

Kitazawa nodded and walked to the front of the luxurious private room.

He pushed open the door amidst Yakushi Kabuto's expectant gaze.

Happy birthday, Kitazawa-sensei!

A group of voices rang out.

What came into Kitazawa's view was a huge cake.

The cake has twenty-two candles on it, representing that he has turned twenty-two.

Surrounding the cake were Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, Kurama Yakumo, Karin, and others.

"Thank you."

Kitazawa laughed.

Although he had expected it, he was still quite happy to see what was happening.

His efforts over the past year have not been in vain.

At first, he did give Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha special training in order to get the system's rewards.

But humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? After a long time, feelings will naturally develop.

"Teacher Kitazawa, come and blow out the candles!"

Naruto Uzumaki said impatiently.

"Why are you in a more anxious mood than Choji?"

Kiba Inuzuka nudged him and asked jokingly.

"I'm not here to eat cake!"

Naruto Uzumaki snorted and said, "I just want to know what birthday wish Kitazawa-sensei will make!"

"what are you saying?"

Kiba Inuzuka retorted, "How can I let other people know my birthday wish?"

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened, and he said, "I told you my birthday wish last time."

"You're okay."

Nara Shikamaru, with his hands behind his head, casually remarked, "Anyway, everyone knows what your birthday wish is."

"Is my birthday wish so easy to guess?"

Naruto scratched his head and asked.

"Your mind is full of Naruto."

Yamanaka Ino put her hands on her hips and said with a smile.

"However, if you want to become Hokage, you'll have to get past me first!"

Kiba Inuzuka gave a thumbs up and said.

He first learned Hellhound, and now he's learning Tooth-Tongue, which is when he's most confident.

"The Hokage is mine."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly said.

"Eh?"

Sakura Haruno glanced at him instinctively.

"Sasuke, when did you become interested in the Hokage?"

Nara Shikamaru asked Sakura Haruno the question that had been bothering her.

"It's nothing, I just wanted Naruto to experience the taste of defeat."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

Actually, it was mentioned by Fugaku Uchiha when they were chatting a couple of days ago.

Sasuke Uchiha could see the desire in his expression and tone.

In his memory, Fugaku Uchiha had always been very calm and serious, and rarely showed this kind of emotion.

If he gets what he wants, he will definitely receive great praise and recognition.

Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha set becoming Hokage as one of his goals.

"As expected of Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura Haruno exclaimed, her eyes shining, "So handsome!"

"But you just lost to Naruto."

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't stand his arrogance and interrupted him.

"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression froze, but he stubbornly replied.

"Cough cough."

Kabuto Yakushi stopped them in time, saying, "Kitazawa-sensei, please blow out the candles first."

"Feel sorry."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately said, "We've gone too far in our conversation."

Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru, and the others also showed embarrassed expressions.

"fine."

Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "Birthdays are all about having fun."

He patted Naruto on the shoulder, stepped forward, and blew out the candle.

Kitazawa clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

Before he obtained the system, his only wish was to live safely until the finale.

Now that he has the system, his wishes have changed.

Currently, Kitazawa hopes to become stronger and stronger, ideally becoming the strongest in the ninja world.

"Alright, everyone, let's eat the cake."

After making his wish, Kitazawa opened his eyes.

"north……"

Naruto was about to ask Kiba what his birthday wish was, but then he paused, remembering Kiba's words.

Who wants to eat the first piece of cake?

Kitazawa picked up a knife and cut a piece of cake.

"I!"

Choji Akimichi immediately squeezed to the front and eagerly raised his hand.

"Choji couldn't take his eyes off the cake from the moment he saw it."

Nara Shikamaru joked.

"Then you can have it."

Kitazawa smiled and handed him the cake.

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"

Choji Akimichi took the cake and said excitedly.

Kitazawa immediately cut out a second piece of cake.

He glanced around and spotted that timid gaze.

"Hinata."

Kitazawa reached out and placed the cake in front of her.

"Thank you... thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."

Hinata Hyuga was taken aback for a moment, but her heart leaped with joy.

She took a bite of the cake and felt only sweetness in her mouth, just like her mood.

"for you."

Kitazawa, holding the third piece of cake, saw Naruto Uzumaki, who was eager to try it out.

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"

Naruto Uzumaki ate the cake with a big smile on his face.

Not long after, all the cakes were distributed.

Kitazawa picked up the last piece and took a bite; the taste was pretty much what he remembered.

It seems that no matter which world you go to, the cake remains the same.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Choji Akimichi finished eating first, and then presented a gift box.

"This is my gift!"

Upon seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki quickly took out a gift box.

"Thank you."

Kitazawa did not open it in front of everyone.

However, he did notice that all the gifts they gave each other were in the same gift box.

He was somewhat surprised when he received Hinata Hyuga's gift box.

Because her gift box was very heavy.

What is this gift?
Kitazawa suppressed his curiosity and put the gift boxes away one by one.

He wasn't afraid of getting them mixed up; his name was labeled on the gift boxes.

Kitazawa guessed that this was the work of Yakushi Kabuto.

After all, he values ​​these details the most.

After eating the cake and exchanging gifts, it was lunchtime.

"Teacher Kitazawa, you can just eat today, we'll grill all the meat!"

Kiba Inuzuka pulled Kitazawa to sit down in the main seat.

"Not bad!"

Naruto Uzumaki said confidently, "Kitazawa-sensei, you'd better try my Youthful Barbecue later! I guarantee it'll be exhilarating and delicious!"

"Where does the passion come from in barbecue?"

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but ask a question.

"Youthful barbecue will get your blood pumping!"

As Naruto spoke, he picked up a piece of beef and placed it on the grill rack.

"That's not exhilaration, it's burning your mouth."

Kitazawa smiled and joked.

The others were slightly taken aback, but then they also started laughing.

A cheerful atmosphere immediately filled the private room.

"Just wait for me!"

Naruto Uzumaki, having mustered all his strength, shouted, "My youthful barbecue will definitely ignite your passion!"

"We'll grill it too."

Yamanaka Ino shared the grilled meat with Hinata and Karin, saying, "Our girls' grilled meat is definitely tastier!"

Roll your eyes!

Hinata Hyuga held a skewer of lamb, and veins bulged around her eyes.

In this way, no change in the lamb skewers on the grill rack could escape her notice.

She would then receive a perfectly sized skewer of grilled meat.

"...?"

Kitazawa sensed the chakra fluctuations and instinctively turned his head to look, his face immediately filled with question marks.

Using eye-rolling to grill meat?

Who taught you that?

But theoretically speaking, the white eye is indeed very suitable for grilling meat.

With its X-ray vision function, the whites of the eyes can help maintain the optimal quality of the mutton.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced around.

Although he had eaten barbecue before, it was always grilled by Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Itachi.

This is the first time I've ever grilled meat myself.

But that's okay, he won't just copy it on the spot.

Fortunately, grilling meat wasn't complicated and didn't require him to activate his two-tomoe Sharingan. "Sasuke-kun, let me grill it for you!"

Sakura Haruno noticed his clumsy movements and quickly said something.

"Need not."

Sasuke Uchiha said calmly, "It's just barbecue, nothing serious."

"Sasuke-kun's grilled meat is absolutely the best!"

Sakura Haruno immediately said.

"of course."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.

Kitazawa didn't have to wait long before a plate of grilled meat was placed in front of him.

"This is my youthful barbecue!"

Naruto pointed to a skewer of beef and said.

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa picked up the skewer of beef and took a bite.

how to say?

The meat at barbecue restaurants is already a semi-finished product; as long as it's not burnt, the taste won't be too bad.

"delicious."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "It just doesn't have that exhilarating feeling."

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki was instantly petrified.

Seeing this, the others laughed again.

"Teacher Kitazawa, please try our barbecue."

Yamanaka Ino quickly introduced, "This was baked by me, Hinata, Yakumo, Karin, and Izumi-senpai!"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and picked up the lamb skewers that Hinata Hyuga had grilled.

After all, he was very curious about how the lamb skewers he grilled under the glare of disapproving looks would taste.

Kitazawa chewed a few times, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The taste is truly exceptional.

The aroma, oil, salt, and meat are all excellent.

"delicious."

Kitazawa gave Hinata a smile.

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

"Alright, don't just stand there, eat with us."

Kitazawa divided the grilled meat in front of him and said.

"Wow, this is so salty!"

Naruto Uzumaki took a bite of the beef skewer and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at it and was startled.

He suppressed his embarrassment and calmly handed her a glass of milk.

Because he grilled the beef skewers.

Although he was confident, he ultimately failed to get the timing right when grilling meat for the first time.

Fortunately, no one knew that he was the one who baked it.

"Thank you."

After taking a couple of sips of milk, Naruto asked, "Sasuke, where's your grilled meat?"

"They're all mixed up, I don't know which skewers I grilled."

Sasuke Uchiha said with a calm expression.

"pity."

Naruto Uzumaki showed a look of regret.

"fine."

Nara Shikamaru casually said, "Have Sasuke grill you a skewer later."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression froze instantly.

"Then you'll have to wait in line!"

Sakura Haruno snorted and said, "I've never even tried Sasuke-kun's grilled meat!"

"Sasuke is really popular."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said curiously, "I'd like to try some too."

"..."

All Uchiha Sasuke wanted to do now was escape.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and grill three skewers.

Fortunately, he had the experience from the first time, so the second time, while not necessarily delicious, at least didn't turn out badly.

The barbecue ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

"There is something I need to tell you."

At the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, Kitazawa said, "I have to go out on a mission tomorrow and may not be back for a week or two."

"what?"

Naruto's eyes widened immediately.

"so long?"

Yamanaka Ino's face showed reluctance.

Hinata Hyuga instinctively took a step forward.

"Although I am a ninja academy teacher, I am also a ninja, so doing missions is unavoidable."

Kitazawa reassured them, "Don't worry while I'm gone, someone will guide you."

"Is that Iruka-sensei?"

Shino Aburame is worried that Iruka Umino doesn't know Fire Release, which would make it difficult for him to carry out his Parasitic Insect Mutation Plan.

"No."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "It's Kakashi Hatake."

"Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto's eyes lit up.

"You know him?"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at him instinctively.

"He is Konoha's number one ninjutsu master!"

Naruto Uzumaki said with a big smile, "He helped me develop my Sexy Jutsu!"

"...?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked completely bewildered.

That seduction technique is also related to Kakashi Hatake?

"Sasuke, you will introduce Kakashi to everyone tomorrow."

Kitazawa gave the instructions.

"Ah."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"Sasuke, do you already know this Kakashi-sensei?"

Upon seeing this, Kiba Inuzuka quickly asked.

“I’ve been training with him for the past two days.”

"That's what Uchiha Sasuke replied."

"Training for what?"

Naruto asked curiously.

"secret."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him and said confidently, "Anyway, if you don't work hard, I'll defeat you soon."

"Truly my nemesis!"

Naruto clenched his fist, his fighting spirit high, and said, "This is the burning passion of youth! I'm going to find Guy-sensei for training right now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He really wanted to say, "Don't work so hard!"

However, it must be said that Naruto Uzumaki put immense pressure on him.

"I'm leaving now, goodbye everyone."

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha skipped his lunch break and went straight to the Ninja Academy.

"Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, and others bid farewell and left.

In the end, only Hinata Hyuga, Kabuto Yakushi, Izumi Uchiha, and Torune Aburame remained.

"The three of you should meet at the village entrance at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Kitazawa looked at Kabuto and the other two and gave them instructions.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The three, including Kabuto, answered in unison.

Hinata, is there anything else?

After Kabuto and the other two left, Kitazawa looked at Hinata Hyuga and asked.

"No...no."

Hinata Hyuga trembled and lowered her head.

"I'll take you back."

Kitazawa smiled and patted her hair, saying...

"Ah."

Hinata Hyuga felt his large hand and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Speaking of which, what gift did you give me? Why is it so heavy?"

Kitazawa asked as he walked.

"It's a ninja sword."

Hinata Hyuga raised her head, a hint of expectation flashing in her white eyes. "I hope Kitazawa-sensei will like it."

"Ninja sword?"

Kitazawa was somewhat surprised.

He took out Hinata Hyuga's gift box and opened it.

A ninja sword sheathed appeared before him.

There are many ninja swords in the ninja world.

The most famous of them are the seven swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The ninja sword given to Hinata Hyuga is, in terms of its design, a commonly used ninja sword, slightly shorter than a samurai sword.

Kitazawa drew his ninja sword.

After taking a look, he channeled chakra into the area.

He immediately realized the problem.

Chakra flowed freely within the blade.

This is simply not possible.

Unless it contains chakra metal.

Kitazawa was taken aback when he thought of this.

Although he now has assets exceeding ten million taels, he still can't bear to buy a chakra metal ninja sword.

Because he will instantly become penniless again.

Kitazawa subconsciously looked at Hinata Hyuga.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, it is impossible for her to be so capricious as to spend tens of millions of ryo to forge a ninja sword and give it to an outsider.

Without a doubt, this was done with Hiashi Hyuga's consent.

Is the Hyuga clan trying to win them over, or is it Tsunade?

"Thank you."

Kitazawa said earnestly, "The teacher likes it very much."

Hinata Hyuga smiled upon hearing this.

"Let's go, cute little Hinata."

Kitazawa reached out and pinched her cheek, saying...

Hinata Hyuga was stunned for a moment, and her face flushed slightly.

She quickly followed Kitazawa.

"See you next time."

Kitazawa stopped walking after dropping her off at her doorstep.

"Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei."

Hinata Hinata walked into the courtyard and subconsciously looked back, but Kitazawa was no longer in sight.

"are you back?"

Hiashi Hyuga's voice rang out.

He stood in the courtyard, gazing at the gate.

He was heartbroken when Hinata Hyuga gave Kitazawa a ninja sword worth ten million ryo.

But after today's Jonin meeting, he felt that Kitazawa deserved such a friendship.

After all, if the Hyuga clan wants to establish a connection with the next Hokage, they have to go through Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga.

They have no direct connection with Tsunade.
