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

Chapter 238 Frontline Commander Tsunade (Third and Fourth Updates)

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa announced the final results.

Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha both lost in similar ways.

With the combination of Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Wind Release: Gale Palm, and ninja tool throwing, they could barely cope with the ninja tool throwing.

The storm's range is too large; if they can't escape its reach, they will be blown away.

"This practical test is now over. Take a short break, and the rankings will be announced shortly."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he went to find Umino Iruka.

"In the end, Naruto won."

Tian Tian sighed upon hearing this.

Although she supported Neji Hyuga, there was nothing wrong with Naruto Uzumaki winning.

"After this, who will be able to beat Naruto?"

Kiba Inuzuka felt a sense of powerlessness.

Given Naruto's current strength, he felt that even if he worked hard for another ten years, it would be difficult for him to surpass him.

There is no invincible ninjutsu.

Maruhoshi Kosuke's voice suddenly rang out.

"Mr. Kosuke!"

The students in the gifted class greeted him.

"Kosuke-sensei, how do you suggest we defeat Naruto?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked impatiently.

Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, and the others subconsciously looked at Maruboshi Kosuke.

Including Naruto Uzumaki.

He also wanted to know what weaknesses his tactics had.

"The most direct method is defensive ninjutsu."

Maruhoshi Kosuke said calmly.

"And Earth Release ninjutsu."

Kakashi Hatake added.

"good."

Kosuke Maruhoshi nodded.

The two of them started talking back and forth about how to break the storm created by the Wind Release: Gale Palm.

Meanwhile, Kitazawa, who was compiling the rankings with Umino Iruka, looked at the three lines of text in front of him.

[Current Mission: Help Naruto Uzumaki defeat Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga in the next monthly exam.]

[Mission Reward: One-fifth of your Chakra Limit.]

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

Kitazawa looked dazed.

A large amount of chakra surged into his body, giving him a feeling of fullness.

His chakra has now reached an astonishing three and a half kilocalories.

To put it more directly, he can now last for another half minute after activating the Thousand Hands Chakra Mode.

"The rankings have all been completed, Kitazawa-senpai."

Umino Iruka offered a reminder.

"Thank you for your hard work, Iruka."

Kitazawa took the roster and said, "Go and bring over the students from the other classes who want to take on the challenge."

"Ok."

Iruka Umino smiled and said, "After the complete defeat in the last monthly exam, I estimate there won't be many challengers this time."

"There's nothing we can do about it; the teaching advantages of the gifted program are just too great."

Kitazawa glanced at the rankings and said, "But I plan to have the gifted students serve as tutors in other classes during this last month."

This is the mentor system he had previously mentioned to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His students undergo intensive training every day, which puts them under immense pressure over time.

Being a teaching assistant is a good way to relax and refresh your knowledge and ninjutsu.

"counselor?"

Iruka Umino looked puzzled.

"They were tasked with teaching ninjutsu to students in other classes, such as the Three Body Technique."

Kitazawa replied.

"Won't this interfere with the studies of the gifted students?"

After a moment's thought, Umino Iruka asked.

The counselor system is actually a good thing for students in other classes.

"It won't happen if it's arranged properly."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "We'll discuss the specifics in the meeting later. I'll go announce the rankings first."

After he finished speaking, he walked up to the students in the gifted class.

Seeing this, Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi stopped chatting with them and stepped aside.

Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji were very reluctant to part.

After all, what Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi were sharing were extremely valuable experiences.

"I will announce the rankings of the theory exam first."

Kitazawa opened the roster and began to read it aloud.

"Shikamaru, you're controlling the score again!"

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but retort after hearing this.

"Where is the scoring control?"

Nara Shikamaru spread his hands and said with a smile, "This is my true level."

Upon hearing this, the others all showed expressions of disbelief.

Who can repeatedly jump between first place and tenth place?

"It's truly incomprehensible."

Naruto scratched his head, feeling like his brain wasn't working properly.

"You have no right to say that."

Yamanaka Ino snorted and said, "You and Shikamaru are both people we can't understand."

Naruto Uzumaki smiled sheepishly.

He genuinely didn't understand why he had so much chakra.

"Next is the ranking of the practical exam."

Kitazawa interrupted their conversation.

The students in the gifted class all looked at him upon hearing this.

They care more about the ranking in the practical exam than the ranking in the theoretical exam.

"First place, Naruto Uzumaki."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"I'm number one again!"

Although it was expected, Naruto Uzumaki still couldn't help but cheer.

"Don't get too cocky. Kosuke-sensei and Kakashi-sensei have given you plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fists instinctively as he looked at his arrogant demeanor.

"You won't get first place so easily in the next monthly exam."

Uchiha Sasuke said expressionlessly.

"good."

For once, Neji Hyuga agreed with something.

Having spent so much time in this gifted class, he has now come to appreciate the thrill of competition.

This feeling of competition will motivate him to improve even faster.

"Youth is about accepting all challenges!"

Naruto Uzumaki declared with high spirits, "I'm waiting for you!"

"That's really passionate."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said, "I don't know why you guys insist on competing for first place."

"That's the charm of youth!"

Rock Lee gave a thumbs up and said.

"Don't link everything to youth."

He said he had a headache every day.

"Second place: Yakumo Kurama. Third place: Sasuke Uchiha. Fourth place: Neji Hyuga. Fifth place: Hinata Hyuga."

Kitazawa raised his hand to quiet their voices and continued reading, "Sixth place, Shino Aburame. Seventh place, Ino Yamanaka."

The top seven, except for Naruto Uzumaki, are basically unchanged from the previous practical exam rankings.

After all, each of them has made progress.

However, Naruto Uzumaki made the most progress, which led to him becoming number one.

"Eighth place, Sakura Haruno. Ninth place, Hana Inuzuka. Tenth place, Tenten. Eleventh place, Kiba Inuzuka."

Kitazawa paused, then read aloud, "Twelfth place, Nara Shikamaru. Thirteenth place, Rock Lee. Fourteenth place, Akimichi Choji..."

"I'm only eighth place?"

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened suddenly, sensing a pleasant surprise.

The one who made the most progress last time was Yamanaka Ino, and the one who made the most progress this time is her.

He jumped from thirteenth to eighth place.

This is the advantage of having mastered an additional B-rank Water Release ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, in the ninja academy, B-rank water-style ninjutsu is already beyond the reach of most students.

"But you're still one place behind me!"

Yamanaka Ino brushed aside her golden bangs and said.

"Hmph, you just wait!"

Sakura Haruno retorted, not to be outdone.

"The competition in the gifted program is really fierce."

Tian Tian sighed and said.

In just one month, she dropped from eighth to tenth place.

Even though her strength had increased considerably, she had learned the Shadow Clone Technique.

But Sakura Haruno and Hana Inuzuka have made greater progress than her.

If this were the old Class A in the second grade, the rankings wouldn't have fluctuated like this.

"It's over!"

Kiba Inuzuka covered his head with his hands and exclaimed, "I've fallen out of the top ten!"

"fine."

Inuzuka Hana patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Your sister made it into the top ten."

"Can this be the same?"

Kiba Inuzuka said with a pained expression.

"Twelve places? That's a bit of a miscalculation."

Nara Shikamaru frowned involuntarily.

He ranked tenth in the theoretical exam and twelfth in the practical exam, so his combined ranking would drop out of the top ten.

His original plan was to rank tenth overall, but he didn't expect that Sakura Haruno and Hana Inuzuka's strength would increase so much in just one month.

This is troublesome. He's starting to worry about how to explain this to his mother, Nara Yoshino.

Just as Kitazawa was about to continue reading the rankings, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the entrance of the ninja academy.

A figure landed in front of them as they approached.

Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, and the others also looked at him curiously.

He was wearing a gray vest.

Sasuke Uchiha recognized him at a glance; he was an Anbu ninja.

Because he saw Itachi Uchiha wearing the same vest.

"Lord Kitazawa, Kakashi-senpai."

The ANBU ninja spoke up, "The Hokage wants you to immediately go to the Hokage Building conference room to hold a Jonin meeting."

Kitazawa was startled.

Jonin meetings are usually announced several days in advance.

This kind of impromptu Jonin meeting means that Konoha Village is in big trouble.

"I understand, I'll be right there," Kitazawa nodded and replied.

The ANBU ninja disappeared from the spot after hearing this.

"Senior Kosuke."

Kitazawa handed over the roster and said, "The rest is up to you. There's one more challenge."

"no problem."

Maruhoshi Kosuke readily agreed.

Although he wasn't a Jonin, he was familiar with the Jonin meeting system and knew that something must have happened.

Kitazawa looked at Kakashi Hatake.

The two exchanged a glance and then headed towards the Hokage Building.

Kitazawa walked along, reminiscing about the original work.

In the original work, nothing major happened that year except for the night of the massacre.

Thanks to his butterfly effect, the night of genocide no longer occurs.

The only possibility is that it's related to Obito Uchiha.

Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake quickly arrived at the Hokage Building conference room.

There were already quite a few people there by then.

In particular, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already seated early on.

Kitazawa guessed that Hiruzen Sarutobi must have received the news first before calling them to a meeting.

Besides Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, who did not attend the Jonin meeting last time, was also present.

"come over."

Tsunade raised her hand and beckoned to him.

"Kakashi, I'll go first."

After greeting Kakashi Hatake, Kitazawa sat down next to Tsunade.

"It's a declaration of war from Kirigakure."

Tsunade turned to the side and whispered.

"Could Kiba's reason for declaring war be the Raito Kiba?"

Kitazawa asked with a subtle expression.

"You guessed right, that's the reason."

Tsunade joked, "You've also made your mark in Konoha's history by starting the war against Kirigakure all by yourself."

"Lady Tsunade, is this the time for jokes?"

Kitazawa couldn't help but ask a sarcastic remark.

But he had already understood the real reason.

It really was Obito Uchiha.

He was seriously injured and still furious, so he simply ordered the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, whom he controlled, to declare war on Konoha Village.

That way, we can annoy Konoha Village.

After all, for Obito Uchiha, Kirigakure was nothing.

Even if Kirigakure ultimately fails and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, loses control, he will suffer no loss.

His goal is to target the Akatsuki organization and the Eye of the Moon project.

"Don't worry, the old man won't blame you."

Tsunade smiled faintly and said, "Anyone with eyes can see that Kirigakure's war with us is definitely not because of a sword."

While the Thunder Blade Fang is precious, it's not priceless.

Once war breaks out, the loss of Kirigakure will not be as simple as just losing a sword.

Kitazawa nodded.

Although the war was indeed started because of him.

At most, add Kakashi Hatake.

"The only person you need to watch out for is Danzo Shimura."

Tsunade warned, "He will definitely make trouble because of this."

"Given his personality, he certainly would."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "And he'll probably mention you."

Danzo Shimura's goal was to become Hokage.

Tsunade was the biggest obstacle on his path to becoming Hokage.

Now that Kitazawa has made a mistake that is directly related to Tsunade, it will naturally be used against him.

"Ah."

Tsunade had expected this and was not surprised.

"But launching an attack is not the goal."

Kitazawa stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps he wants to take this opportunity to seize power."

War is both a risk and an opportunity.

If Danzo Shimura becomes the commander of this war, he will return to the pinnacle of power.

"The old man won't let him succeed."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "Shimura Danzo is too old and not suitable to be a commander."

"how about you?"

Kitazawa coughed lightly and asked.

"..."

Tsunade immediately fell silent.

There is probably no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village more suitable to be the commander of this war than her.

Because among the younger generation of ninjas, she is number one in both strength and status.

Apart from her, they are either too old, like Danzo Shimura, or too young, like Kakashi Hatake.

Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha are also options, but they were clan leaders first, and then Konoha ninjas.

Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely didn't trust them.

No matter how you look at it, Tsunade is the only choice.

"I've found that nothing good has happened to me since I met you."

Tsunade rubbed her temples and said unhappily.

She had a premonition that this time she probably couldn't escape it.

"My fault."

Kitazawa said seriously, "After the war is over, I will accompany Lady Tsunade to the casino."

"War never ends so easily."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and asked in return.

“The Hidden Mist Village is far inferior to us. As long as we figure out why they started the war, we can end it quickly.”

Kitazawa replied.

That statement is correct.

Tsunade nodded slightly.

She just couldn't think of a reason for Kirigakure to start the war.

Because if we were in each other's shoes, we should never have started a war against a ninja village that was much stronger than ourselves, especially not just because of a ninja sword.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's begin the meeting."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table and said, "I just received a message from the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi. He has declared war on our Konoha Village."

Upon hearing this, the conference room fell into a brief moment of shock and silence.

"Didn't they just have negotiations with us? Why would they suddenly declare war?"

"How could Kirigakure's attitude change so quickly?"

"With the strength of Kirigakure, they dare to start a war with us? They're simply overestimating themselves!"

The Jonin couldn't help but start discussing it.

Most people did not understand why Kirigakure had declared war on them.

"Hiruzen, why don't you explain the specific reasons why Kirigakure declared war?"

Danzo Shimura suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"The Fourth Mizukage said it was because we didn't hand over the Raito Kiba."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then said, "Obviously, this is just a ridiculous excuse."

He shared Tsunade's opinion that Kirigakure definitely had another reason to start the war.

Why is it absurd?

Shimura Danzo snorted and said, "This whole thing started because of Kitazawa. He embezzled the spoils of war, which led to this war."

"Kitazawa killed Kurosuki Raiga, so Raiga should belong to him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and asked in return, "What makes you say I embezzled it?"

"That being said, how much will Konoha Village suffer because of his selfish interests once war breaks out?"

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura changed the subject and accused, "I think Tsunade is also at fault; she didn't teach him properly."

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with dissatisfaction, "That's just sophistry!"

Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, and the others exchanged glances but remained silent.

After all, it involves a power struggle among the upper echelons of Konoha.

Indeed, in their view, this was a battle between Tsunade and Danzo Shimura for the Hokage position.

"What's wrong with Kitazawa following the rules of Konoha Village?"

Tsunade asked calmly.

"It is a fact that he started the war."

Danzo Shimura downplayed the issue.

"Then let's put it this way, let him end the war."

Tsunade said nonchalantly.

"He's finished?"

Danzo Shimura asked dismissively, "Does he even have that ability?"

"Did he include me in his list?"

Tsunade raised her head, looked directly at him, and asked.

Danzo Shimura felt a jolt of fear and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The reason he attended the Jonin meeting was to become the commander of this war.

Because the commander cannot give it to Tsunade no matter what.

If Tsunade wins this war, she will have every reason to become the Fifth Hokage.

"very good!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Let's appoint Tsunade now..."

He had thought it would be a lot of work to get Tsunade to be the commander of this war, but he didn't expect her to bring it up herself.

We have to thank Danzo Shimura for his help.

"and many more!"

Danzo Shimura quickly intervened, saying, "I disagree!"

"What do you disagree with?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, displeased.

“Kitazawa made a mistake, and Tsunade, as his teacher, also made a mistake.”

Danzo Shimura asked vehemently, "How can someone who has made a mistake be appointed as a frontline commander?"

So that's what you were planning.

In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Kitazawa all understood.

"This was an unintentional mistake."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at him and said, "Since you think she's wrong, then let her end this war and atone for her sins."

"I mean……"

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened.

He immediately panicked. What was going on?

"Do you have any objections?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to interrupt him and looked at Hiashi Hyuga and the others.

"No."

The numerous Jonin spoke in unison.

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo felt his body stiffen, and he felt a chill despite it being broad daylight.
