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

Chapter 324 Konoha Cursed Seal Squad, Mitarashi Anko (First and Second Updates)

"Teacher Kitazawa, what is our mission this time?"

Yamanaka Ino got there first and arrived at Kitazawa's left side.

She grabbed Kitazawa's arm, leaned out, and gave Haruno Sakura a smug look.

"childish."

Sakura Haruno pouted and said.

"Go to the land of Sichuan."

Kitazawa replied, "The target of this mission is a rogue ninja from Iwagakure named Shigenobu, who is a Jonin."

"Jounin?"

Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno both showed expressions of surprise.

Only Kaguya Kimimaro remained calm.

He was actually similar to Aburame Torune, who came from the Root family; he obeyed orders without ever asking why.

In particular, he obeyed Orochimaru's orders without any conditions.

"With your strength, if you coordinate properly, dealing with an ordinary Jonin should not be a problem."

Kitazawa patted Yamanaka Ino's head and said, "Don't be so surprised."

He had the Anbu investigate Shigenobu beforehand, and found him to be a very ordinary Jonin.

In the context of the Third Shinobi World War, he would be one of those Jonin who would be instantly killed by Minato Namikaze.

"It feels so difficult."

Sakura Haruno thought about it carefully and then looked troubled.

She wasn't as optimistic as Kitazawa.

After all, her and Yamanaka Ino's strength is what it is; they are at most Chunin.

The only way to win is through the cooperation of Kaguya Kimimaro and the two of them.

"So what if it's difficult? If Mr. Kitazawa says we can do it, then we definitely can!"

Yamanaka Ino clenched her fist and said with a confident expression.

"We still have one day to reach the Land of Rivers from now on. The three of you should think carefully about how to cooperate to win."

Kitazawa tapped Yamanaka Ino on the forehead and said, "Be cautious when dealing with Jonin, don't be overconfident."

"I know!"

Ino Yamanaka smiled at him, then pulled Sakura Haruno to go and discuss the matter with Kimimaro Kaguya.

Although it was supposed to be a discussion, Kaguya Kimimaro didn't say much.

Fortunately, both Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura understand his abilities and can make appropriate arrangements based on his situation.

The Land of Rivers borders the Land of Fire, and the group entered the Land of Rivers at dusk.

Kitazawa didn't rush to take them to find Shigenobu, the rogue ninja from Iwagakure, but instead let them rest for the night.

The time came the next day.

A small grove of trees in the land of rivers.

Kaguya Kimimaro, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura each hid in a tree, only their eyes showing as they gazed into the distance.

They are waiting for Kitazawa.

Shigenobu lived in a nearby town.

Fighting in town is too easy to get into trouble and can also affect innocent people.

Kitazawa simply had them lie in ambush in the grove while he went to lure Shigenobu over.

"coming!"

Yamanaka Ino noticed a figure running very fast.

"Follow the plan."

Sakura Haruno immediately said.

Kaguya Kimimaro nodded.

The figure stopped in front of the grove of trees.

He was none other than Shigenobu, a rogue ninja from Iwagakure.

Shigenobu looked around and sensed something was amiss.

How come the person disappeared after we tracked them down?

Just then, a large number of flower petals drifted out from the grove.

Chongxin paused for a moment, then suddenly caught a whiff of an explosive tag.

He quickly formed a hand seal, and an earthen wall blocked his way.

Boom!
Yamanaka Ino's specially made ninja flower, which is an explosive tag, exploded immediately.

The earthen wall trembled suddenly, and then spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

Without hesitation, Chongxin retreated.

The earthen wall cracked, and ten white streaks of light flew toward him at an extremely fast speed through the air.

Zhongxin was startled, not knowing what this thing was.

With a flick of his wrists, countless kunai filled the sky.

The kunai struck the white light with a metallic clang.

Shigenobu's kunai were deflected one after another, but fortunately there were enough of them to block the white light.

Upon seeing the white streak of light clearly, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

Is this a bone?

In that moment of stunned silence, a water dragon appeared out of thin air, carrying a large amount of water vapor, and rushed towards them.

Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!
Shigenori reacted quickly, condensing his chakra into earth spikes.

The earth spikes grew rapidly, transforming into rock spears, attempting to pierce the water dragon.

The water dragon suddenly jolted, rising into the air to avoid the ground spikes, and then accelerating to reach him.

"Good chakra control."

As the thought flashed through his mind, he immediately formed a hand seal.

Earth Release: Earth Substitute!
His earthen doll was shattered into pieces by the impact of the water dragon.

But he took the opportunity to create distance and appeared not far away.

Chongxin looked at the grove of trees but did not rush in; such a place was too suitable for setting traps.

He thought for a moment, then turned around and left without hesitation.

Since the other side had ambushed him here, they certainly didn't want him to escape.

This method will likely encourage them to take the initiative, thus avoiding traps.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

As expected, Chongxin secretly entered the passage and simultaneously formed hand seals.

Earth Release: Earth and Rock Flow!
He turned around and slammed his fist into the ground.

The ground cracked, and countless clods of earth emerged, forming a raging torrent.

"The Corpse Bone Vein?"

Chongxin raised his head and looked at the enemy who had attacked him, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

The reputation of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) and the Kaguya clan in the ninja world was not much less than that of the Sharingan and the Uchiha clan, so he recognized them at a glance.

"How come there are still Kaguya clan ninjas here? And why are they attacking me?"

Chongxin couldn't help but frown.

But he had no time to think, because just as the landslide was about to engulf Kaguya Kimimaro, a water dragon blocked his way.

The water dragon and the mudslide were locked in a momentary stalemate.

Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia!

Kaguya Kimimaro leaped up, stepping on the water dragon.

He drew a bone knife from his left arm, and in an instant, countless blade shadows exploded, creating a whistling wind.

Shigenobu's breath hitched; he felt the pressure.

But he immediately responded by raising an earthen wall to block the bone knife.

The earthen wall withstood the pressure for a second before it immediately blew up.

This is the time that Shigenobu was waiting for.

Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!
He opened his mouth and spat out a stone.

With the aid of chakra, the stone hurtled towards Kaguya Kimimaro like a cannonball.

Kaguya Kimimaro instinctively crossed her arms.

Bones emerged from his arm and met the stone.

Boom!
The immense force forced Kaguya Kimimaro to retreat.

"Turns out he was just a Chunin."

Chongxin snorted coldly and said.

After a brief exchange, he had already discovered Kaguya Kimimaro's strength.

If he were a Jonin, with the added power of the Shikotaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), he would have already gained the upper hand.

While Kaguya Kimimaro was still flying backwards in mid-air, three Sakura Haruno appeared at the same time.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Sakura Haruno, who was in the middle, stopped and formed a hand seal.

Sakura Haruno on both sides leaped up and quickly approached Shigenobu.

"Where did this little brat come from?"

Chongxin subconsciously looked around.

Both Kaguya Kimimaro and Haruno Sakura are too young, so they will definitely need a teacher to lead them.

The ninja who led him here was most likely their instructor.

Shigenobu couldn't find any trace of Kitazawa and could only deal with the attack at hand.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!
As soon as he formed the hand seal, he saw Sakura Haruno, who was not far to the left, throw out a number of flower petals.

Shigenori glanced at it, his hands moving without stopping, chakra surging out.

The ground rose up, and a giant dragon formed of earth and stone soared into the sky.

The water dragon shrank considerably in front of it and was easily smashed to pieces.

The earth dragon charged toward Sakura Haruno with undiminished momentum.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Sakura Haruno quickly dodged to the side after setting up a water wall.

At this moment, another Sakura Haruno had arrived in front of Shigenobu.

"Ok?"

Chongxin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Weren't there two shadow clones? Why is one missing?
With a kick, Shigenori sent Sakura Haruno in front of him vanishing into smoke.

He frowned slightly and immediately looked around.

Countless petals appeared out of thin air, swirling around him and momentarily blinding him.

A faint rustling of wind arose.

Shigenobu immediately looked up and saw Yamanaka Ino descending from the sky.

He sneered and said, "So it's in the sky."

Magical Naraku-seeing Technique!
Yamanaka Ino met his gaze and immediately cast the illusion she had prepared.

Shigenori showed a moment of confusion, but he quickly recovered and almost instantly unleashed the Illusionary Naraku Sight Technique.

Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!
Shigenori opened his mouth, and chakra gathered in his throat, forming a stone.

Without hesitation, Yamanaka Ino turned around and stepped back.

Because she has already achieved her goal.

The roar of the wind suddenly rang out.

Kaguya Kimimaro appeared behind Shigenobu. Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Camellias!

In a split second, he swung the bone knife in his hand.

An earthen wall rose at an extremely fast speed.

Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost missed it.

But... his expression suddenly froze.

The bone easily pierced the earthen wall and stabbed into his heart with terrifying speed.

Chongxin opened his mouth, and blood gushed out.

The earthen wall cracked.

Only then did he notice that Kaguya Kimimaro had changed drastically and no longer looked human.

This is the Earth Seal, State Two.

Shigenori's earthen wall blocked the Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia for a second, and he thought he could block it again if it came back.

However, under the blessing of the Earth Seal - State Two, the Earth Seal - State Two is greatly enhanced, with different speed and power.

Kaguya Kimimaro didn't hold back and delivered another blow.

Chongxin closed his eyes, leaned back, and fell into an eternal sleep.

"Won!"

Yamanaka Ino said excitedly.

"We actually killed a Jonin?"

Sakura Haruno asked incredulously.

In her mind, this battle would be extremely difficult.

But when the fight actually started, she easily won by using three water-style ninjutsu.

"Ninja warfare is intelligence warfare."

Kitazawa said, "You were able to defeat him because he didn't know your information."

"He didn't understand Kimimaro's Earth Curse Seal and Corpse Bone Pulse, so he made the wrong decision when faced with Kimimaro's sneak attack."

Sakura Haruno snapped out of her daze and agreed.

"And my illusions!"

Yamanaka Ino flicked her golden bangs, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly.

"It was my water-style technique and your illusion that drew his attention."

Sakura Haruno glared at her and corrected her.

"But my illusions were even more effective!"

Yamanaka Ino gave a soft hum and said.

"Okay, you all did a great job."

Kitazawa smiled and patted her head, interrupting her argument with Haruno Sakura.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Yamanaka Ino nuzzled his hand like a kitten, asking expectantly, "How many points will I get this time?"

"Don't worry, it will be a very high score."

Kitazawa replied.

"What about me? Can I be taller than Ino?"

Sakura Haruno couldn't wait to ask.

"Based on your performance just now, how could your score be higher than mine?"

Yamanaka Ino immediately retorted, unconvinced.

"Look at you two, arguing again."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "You two will get the same share."

"Since you've said so, Mr. Kitazawa, I'll gladly accept a draw with you this time."

Yamanaka Ino glanced at Haruno Sakura and said, "Wait until I learn... next time, I'll definitely beat you!"

She almost blurted out "Ninja Technique: Heart Butterfly".

But she remembered that Kitazawa had just said that ninja warfare was intelligence warfare, so she quickly changed her words.

"It's not that easy!"

Sakura Haruno said without fear, "I'm waiting for your challenge!"

She had already guessed that Yamanaka Ino was learning a new ninjutsu, but she was also learning a new water jutsu, so she felt that she might not necessarily lose.

"Mission accomplished, let's return the way we came."

Kitazawa took out a spirit storage scroll, put away Shigenori's body, and then turned and left.

Kaguya Kimimaro, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura quickly followed.

The group returned to Konoha Village on Monday morning.

"Go home and rest today, and classes will resume as normal tomorrow."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "If all the other teams have returned, then we'll announce the rankings tomorrow."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kaguya Kimimaro, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura all spoke in unison.

Kitazawa nodded and walked towards the Hokage Building.

He first handed in his mission at the mission hall, and then went to the Hokage's office.

During his last meeting with Tsunade, because of that kiss, there was still one thing he hadn't finished saying.

In addition, I had to go out on a mission the next day, so it was delayed until today.

But it's nothing urgent.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked in.

"When did you come back?"

Tsunade asked with a calm expression.

"Just now."

Kitazawa walked up to her and handed her a ninjutsu scroll.

"What is this? A mission report?"

Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled.

You'll see when you see it.

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade opened the scroll out of curiosity and began to read it.

She glanced at it and realized it was the Earth Curse Seal.

Why show her the Earth Curse Seal?
Tsunade continued reading, pondering, until she understood what was happening after the sealing technique was added.

Orochimaru's Earth Curse Seal has two states, which can be considered two restrictions, but the restrictions are very few.

After Kitazawa's improvements, eight restrictions were added.

Removing the first three restrictions will not have any impact on the body.

Once the first six restrictions are lifted, the original Earth Curse Seal, State Two level, is reached. Prolonged use will have side effects.

The remaining two restrictions are additional and have different functions.

When a user goes berserk and loses control, the seventh restriction will be automatically triggered, forcing the user to exit the Earth Seal.

If a user faces a life-threatening situation and is on the verge of death, the eighth restriction can be lifted.

This eighth restriction is like the Death Gate of the Eight Gates Formation; it completely goes out of control and unleashes its full power to defeat the enemy.

Since I'm about to die, who cares about side effects? I'll just have one last dance.

"Once Orochimaru's modifications are complete, and combined with your Eightfold Earth Curse Seal, our Konoha Village can definitely form a Curse Seal Army!"

After reading it, Tsunade looked up and said with some excitement.

There are many special military units in the five villages.

For example, the puppeteer unit of Sunagakure and the demolition unit of Iwagakure.

Strictly speaking, Konoha Village doesn't have any special military units.

But if we have to name a specific one, it would be the forces formed by the various ninja clans, such as the sensory forces led by the Byakugan.

The appearance of the Earth Curse Seal was enough for Konoha Village to form a Curse Seal Army.

Moreover, this cursed seal unit is quite strong, as they use the Earth Curse Seal, and at the very least, they are elite Chunin and special Jonin.

"That's what I thought too."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"You have done another service for Konoha Village."

Tsunade finished speaking with a smile and then suddenly paused.

She originally wanted to ask what reward you wanted, but then she remembered the reward Kitazawa had asked for last time.

"Who do you think should be in charge of this cursed seal force?"

Tsunade put down the ninjutsu scroll and changed the subject.

"Tsunade-sensei, please answer one question for me first."

Kitazawa shook his head and asked, "Who do you think should join the Cursed Seal Squad?"

Tsunade paused for a moment, then fell into thought.

The Earth Seal is indeed very good; it can enhance the user's strength.

Theoretically speaking, any ninja who can be inoculated with the Earth Curse Seal can try it.

But that's unrealistic and unnecessary.

"Do you have any idea?"

Tsunade noticed Kitazawa's calm demeanor and couldn't help but ask.

"Some genin, chunin, and special jonin, especially those whose strength has reached its limit."

Kitazawa didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"Your line of thinking is correct!"

Tsunade's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said.

Those ninjas who are least afraid of the side effects of the Earth Curse Seal are those whose strength cannot break through the bottleneck.

After all, their strength had reached its limit.

At this point, they would certainly agree readily to be inoculated with the Earthly Seal.

Those Jonin, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, and Kitazawa, would not agree to receive the Earth Curse Seal.

For them, the improvement is limited, and it even harms their physical and mental health, so it's not worth the effort.

"Let's go back to the previous question. Kimimaro is the most suitable person to lead the Cursed Seal Force, but he is too young."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Besides him, there's Mitarashi Anko and Shiranui Genma."

"can."

Tsunade thought for a moment and then agreed.

Mitarashi Anko herself possesses the Heavenly Curse Mark, so having her in charge of the Curse Mark Unit is a perfect fit for her profession.

Genma Shiranui is a special Jonin, but his potential is basically limited.

After he received the Earth Seal, he went to assist Mitarashi Anko, and there was nothing wrong with that.

He also served as a bodyguard for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

In fact, without Kitazawa's butterfly effect, he would still be serving as the Fifth Hokage Tsunade's bodyguard.

From this perspective, his strength is among the best of the special Jonin.
