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

Chapter 195 Asuma's Challenge (First and Second Updates)

Since there was still time, Kitazawa did not wake Kurenai.

He lowered his head, brought his face close to her neck, felt her smooth skin, and closed his eyes.

Half an hour later, Yuhi Kurenai's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She regained consciousness and immediately felt a tingling and numb sensation in her body.

Kurenai opened her eyes and saw Kitazawa's profile.

A hint of fascination flashed in her eyes as she slowly stepped forward and kissed his face with her soft lips.

"are you awake?"

Kitazawa noticed the warmth on his face.

"Ah."

Kurenai Yuhi responded.

"Want to take a shower?"

Kitazawa reached out, patted her head, and asked.

"I feel sticky all over, I need to wash."

Kurenai sat up and said, "But I want to wash myself."

"how?"

Kitazawa immediately understood and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I definitely won't lay a hand on you."

"I'm not afraid!"

Kurenai glared at him and said, "Besides, there's absolutely no credibility to what you're saying!"

"I arranged to meet Dou and the others at nine o'clock."

Kitazawa pinched her thigh. "Taking a shower and eating, half an hour is already a stretch. How can you have time to do anything else?"

I'll trust you this once.

With a quick glance around her eyes, Yuhi Akane stretched out her hands and said with a smile, "Carry me to take a bath."

Kitazawa's eyes widened instinctively.

The scene before me, with its heavy burden, is truly impactful.

"you do this delibrately?"

Kitazawa's lips twitched, and he said, "It's fine to make Kabuto and the others wait for an extra hour."

"You promised them, you can't go back on your word!"

Kurenai panicked and quickly said...

"You're really bad at the game but have a huge addiction to it."

Kitazawa shook his head, got out of bed, and picked her up.

"Where is it?"

Kurenai blushed slightly, denied it, and instead kicked him with her long leg.

Kitazawa glanced subconsciously at the swaying thighs and jade feet.

After taking a shower and having breakfast, the two headed to the main gate of Konoha Village.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kabuto glanced at Kurenai Yuhi and walked up to Kitazawa.

Aburame Torune and Uchiha Izumi also greeted them.

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and introduced, "This is Kurenai Yuhi. She's with us on missions. You can call her...senpai."

"Senior Hong".

Upon hearing this, the three people immediately spoke in unison.

"Kitazawa often mentions you to me, saying that you are all geniuses among geniuses, and your future is limitless."

"Itsuki said with a smile."

Yakushi Kabuto seemed to be deep in thought.

Kurenai Yuhi and Kitazawa seem to have a very unusual relationship; they might even be a couple.

After all, under normal circumstances, missions are carried out in teams of four.

"Let's go register."

Kitazawa approached Kotetsu and took out the Hokage's warrant.

"An A-level mission?"

Gangzi Tie glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your team has improved really fast!"

It was truly beyond his expectations that Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha were able to take on A-rank missions in less than a month after becoming Chunin.

Although their strength is among the best of their peers, they are still Chunin after all.

Generally speaking, it takes several years of adaptation and training before one can take on A-level missions.

"Indeed."

Izumo Kamitsu agreed.

He and Kotetsu were the examiners for the last Chunin Exams, and they witnessed Kabuto and the others pass the Chunin Exams.

Kitazawa smiled but didn't mention that their actual mission was S-rank.

As for this A-level mission, it was just a cover.

Its content was also written by Hiruzen Sarutobi, instructing Kitazawa's team to deliver a letter to a secret Konoha base on the border of the Land of Fire.

And the Fire Country Metropolis happens to be on the route to it.

"Senior Kitazawa, I wish you success in your mission."

After completing the registration, Gang Zitie said with a smile.

"Go early and return early."

Izumo Kamitsu waved his hand and said.

"Thank you."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, and the others, and said, "Let's go!"

The five people started running and quickly disappeared into the Death Forest.

Because they were in the Land of Fire, they didn't encounter any ignorant bandits or wandering ninjas along the way, and their journey was very smooth.

"Finally arrived. I've been running around all day without eating, and my stomach is protesting."

Kurenai Yuhi stopped and relaxed as she spoke.

“You should learn from my three students; they didn’t complain once along the way.”

Kitazawa looked around at the Fire Country metropolis before him and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi immediately raised her arm and elbowed him.

Seeing this, Kabuto adjusted his glasses.

He is now even more certain of the relationship between Kurenai Yuhi and Kitazawa.

At the same time, Kurenai Yuhi was labeled as someone not to be trifled with.

"Come on, let's go eat first."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Then find a place to stay for the night, and do the mission tomorrow."

The five people entered the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

Have you been here before?

Kitazawa looked around and asked casually.

"came."

Uchiha Izumi explained, "When I was in that ninja squad before, I helped the Daimyo's wife take care of her cats."

"This is my first time here."

Aburame Tori replied.

"I've been here twice."

Kabuto observed the surroundings and slowly said, "It's because of the Root's mission."

"Let's go with this restaurant."

Kitazawa went into a hotel and booked four rooms.

As a result, not only did Kabuto Yakushi guess his relationship with Kurenai Yuhi, but even Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha became aware of it.

But Kitazawa and Kurenai Yuhi didn't mind being known by them.

After booking a room for five people, they also ordered a meal.

Do you know about the Guardian Ninja?

Kitazawa picked up his chopsticks and asked.

"They are the twelve ninjas who protect the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Kabuto Yakushi immediately replied.

"Our mission this time is related to the Guardian Ninja."

Now that they had arrived in the metropolis of the Land of Fire, Kitazawa no longer concealed anything and began to explain the true details of the mission.

Uchiha Izumi's small face was filled with shock.

She hadn't expected this mission to involve twelve special Jonin and Jonin.

You should know that when she was in that ninja squad, the highest mission she had ever completed was only B-rank, and it was very difficult for her to even encounter a special Jonin.

It's no wonder it's an S-rank mission.

Every S-rank mission is a life-or-death situation for a ninja.

Kabuto Yakushi fell into deep thought.

This task sounds difficult at first glance, but in reality there is a lot of room for maneuver, which is pretty much what he expected.

After all, it wasn't about sending their ninja squad to deal with twelve special jonin and jonin.

A large portion of them were their teammates.

Yu Nu was used to following orders.

Although somewhat surprised, he immediately abandoned any thought and focused solely on eating.

"We will go see Asma tomorrow."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "But before that, I have a task for you, which is to gather information on the Guardian Ninja."

"Ok."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and said.

Uchiha Izumi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Are you sending those three Chunin to gather intelligence on Special Jonin and Jonin?

She always felt it was unlikely.

However, she still chose to believe Yakushi Kabuto.

After all, since the team was formed, Kabuto Yakushi has been very reliable, or rather, incredibly experienced.

Uchiha Izumi often suspected that he was actually a seventy or eighty-year-old ninja.

Kurenai Yuhi subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.

She shared the same thought as Uchiha Izumi: they felt this mission was too difficult for them.

But she didn't say much.

After finishing their meal, Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha left the inn.

"pocket."

Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but ask, "How are we supposed to gather intelligence? The Guardian Shinobi are all much more capable than us."

"You have the Sharingan, and you have the worm to extract the root, so gathering intelligence won't be difficult for you."

Kabuto explained clearly, "What we need to do is find the key person."

"A key figure?"

Uchiha Izumi understood.

They did not go directly to investigate the Guardian Shinobi.

"Ah."

After a moment's thought, Kabuto Yakushi said, "The Guardian Shinobi is an organization, and the Land of Fire must have relevant officials in charge. Let's start with them."

That being said, it is still quite difficult.

After all, they had to infiltrate the palace.

Kitazawa and Kurenai arrived at the room prepared for them at the inn.

The room was just so-so; it had everything: a bed, a table, and chairs.

"You trust your three students so much?" Kurenai stretched and sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her fair, delicate feet back and forth.

"I believe in Kabuto."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "What he went through was far more brutal than what we went through."

"The roots?"

Kurenai Yuhi said thoughtfully, "I've heard many rumors about the Roots."

"The roots are far more terrifying than the rumors suggest."

Kitazawa sat down next to her and said.

"I don't understand why the Hokage would allow the Root to exist."

Kurenai turned her head to look at him.

Her black hair slid over her shoulders and hung in the air.

"Who knows?"

Kitazawa pinched her cheek and said, "Don't worry, once Lady Tsunade becomes Hokage, Root will definitely cease to exist."

"Too."

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but smile. "Given her personality, she definitely couldn't stand the Root."

"She has ruined the roots' plans several times."

Kitazawa stretched and asked, "We still have time, what are you planning to do?"

"We have a mission tomorrow, so you're not allowed to do anything reckless tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi quickly replied.

"I didn't say anything about messing around."

Kitazawa blinked and said, "I was trying to ask if you want to learn sealing techniques? You really are..."

"Shut up!"

Kurenai blushed and covered his mouth.

She had never thought about that kind of thing before.

But after spending a lot of time with Kitazawa, he became somewhat obsessed.

"I'm going to practice!"

Kurenai released him and went to the table to practice the heavy sealing of her limbs.

Kitazawa didn't practice the finger seal technique, but instead took out the Chaotic Body Strike Scroll given to him by Tsunade.

Sealing techniques can't improve combat power for the time being, but Chaotic Charge can.

That evening, Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha returned safely to the inn.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kabuto Yakushi took out a scroll and said, "This is the intelligence we've gathered."

Kitazawa opened the scroll and began to read it.

It must be said that Kabuto Yakushi's abilities are indeed outstanding.

This scroll contains detailed information about the Guardian Ninja and their current status.

Although it wasn't as detailed as Hiruzen Sarutobi's account, it was already quite perfect considering their age and strength.

"You did a good job."

Kitazawa casually handed the scroll to the curious Kurenai.

After reading it, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

Because if it were her, she would also find it difficult to do.

"Thanks to Quan and Qu Gen."

Yakushi Kabuto smiled gently and said, "Their abilities played a significant role."

"Yes, you've worked hard. Go back to your rooms and rest."

Kitazawa cautioned, "This mission will inevitably involve a major battle, so make sure you're well-rested."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The three, including Kabuto, returned to their respective rooms.

Silent all night.

After breakfast, Kitazawa led Kurenai and the others to the royal palace.

Because they were ninjas from Konoha, they arrived at the palace where the guardian ninjas were located without any trouble.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform Lord Asuma."

The guards leading their group turned and walked into the palace.

A moment later, a young man wearing a Konoha headband and with a full beard came out.

Although he is the same age as Kitazawa, he looks much older, like he is in his thirties.

Sarutobi Asuma didn't know who the visiting Konoha ninja was, but his eyes widened when he saw Yuhi Kurenai.

After a moment of hesitation, he quickly ran to her.

"Hong, what brings you here?"

Sarutobi Asuma looked delighted and instinctively reached out his hand.

"I came with Kitazawa."

Kurenai took a half step back and said seriously.

"Kitazawa?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma looked at Kitazawa.

After thinking for two seconds, I finally remembered who he was.

An ordinary teacher at a ninja academy.

"Hong, are you the team leader?"

Sarutobi Asuma's gaze swept over Yakushi Kabuto and the other two.

"No."

Kurenai explained, "The three of them are students of Kitazawa."

Sarutobi Asuma let out a soft "hmm".

A ninja academy teacher suddenly appeared as the team leader?

But he quickly put the question out of his mind.

"Hong, did you come all this way just to see me?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked with a smile on his face.

"No."

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head and replied, "I was on a mission with Kitazawa, and we just happened to pass through the Fire Country Metropolis."

"You're doing a mission with him?"

Sarutobi Asuma immediately became alert.

In his eyes, Kitazawa was not strong, but he was handsome and was very popular with the female students when he was in the ninja academy.

"Ah."

Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment and said, "It was the Hokage's arrangement."

This Lao Deng!

Sarutobi Asuma was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Knowing full well that he likes Kurenai Yuhi, he still makes Kurenai Yuhi do missions with Kitazawa. Is this something a father should do?
"Since we're here, let's stay for a while... a day."

Sarutobi Asuma, realizing the complicated situation facing the Guardian Shinobi, quickly changed his mind.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Sorry, I was so excited to see you that I forgot to let you in."

Sarutobi Asuma raised his hand and said, "Please."

The group entered the palace.

Five people with different appearances sat on the seats on both sides of the palace.

"Let me introduce you."

Sarutobi Asuma walked up to a monk and said, "This is Jiraiya, the head priest of the Fire Temple."

Kitazawa subconsciously glanced at him twice.

Jiraiya's bounty on the black market is 30 million ryo, only slightly lower than Sarutobi Asuma's.

"These four are collectively known as the Thunder Release Four, namely Kita-ko, Nan-wu, Sei-to, and To-mao."

Sarutobi Asuma continued.

"Asma, please attend to the guests first. We'll talk later."

After greeting Kitazawa and Kurenai, Jiraiya and the others turned and left the palace.

"What happened?"

Kitazawa watched their departing figures and asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, puzzled.

"Their expressions all looked very serious."

Kitazawa analyzed, "There aren't many things in the Fire Country's metropolis that would make you Guardian Shinobi feel troubled."

"Something did happen."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma acknowledged, "But the internal affairs of the Guardian Shinobi are none of your concern, so you don't need to worry about them."

In his memory, Kitazawa was an ordinary Chunin.

Kurenai Yuhi's genjutsu is quite good, but at best she's only at the level of a special jonin.

It's too dangerous to let them get involved.

"Are you worried that we are not strong enough?"

Kurenai Yuhi laughed and said, "Kitazawa now has the strength of a Jonin."

"Jounin?"

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened, and he asked instinctively, "How is this possible?"

The ninja world is extremely cruel.

Whether someone can become a Jonin can be determined during their time at the Ninja Academy.

Even if someone is a late bloomer, they should be able to make a name for themselves within two or three years of graduation.

But Kitazawa's performance was quite average, both during his time at the Ninja Academy and during the two years he spent as a junior ninja after graduation.

After becoming a Chunin, he gave up on himself and went to work as a teacher at the Ninja Academy.

"You're not very familiar with the situation in Konoha Village while you're in the Fire Country Metropolis. Kitazawa is currently studying under Lady Tsunade."

Kurenai Yuhi continued, "Many people in Konoha Village already consider him to be Lady Tsunade's student."

"...?"

Sarutobi Asuma suddenly felt isolated from the world.

He hasn't been back to Konoha Village for only a year, how come he has changed so much?
When he returned to the village for the last Chinese New Year, Beize was still unknown.

Could it be that he advanced from Chunin to Jonin in just one year? And even became a student of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?
Sarutobi Asuma found this incredible.

The main reason is that Kitazawa's previous performance was too ordinary.

The contrast was so stark that he couldn't believe it.

Sarutobi Asuma's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Why is it always Kurenai Yuhi talking?
has a problem!
“We are classmates and ninjas from Konoha. We can’t just stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble.”

Kitazawa, seeing that Kurenai Yuhi had finished speaking, said, "Just tell us if there's anything we can help you with."

Sarutobi Asuma fell silent.

If Kitazawa truly possessed the strength of a Jonin, coupled with Kurenai Yuhi, a special Jonin, they could easily suppress Kazuma and his group.

"What you say is unfounded."

Sarutobi Asuma glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and said, "How about we have a spar?"

Kurenai's attitude made him feel threatened.

He wanted to prove to Kurenai that his strength far surpassed Kitazawa's.
