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

Chapter 359 Improved Version of The Caged Bird, Little South the Trusted Concubine (Third and Fourth Updates)

Bei Ze stopped cultivating and nodded.

He asked Xiao Nan to be his alarm clock.

After all, he was cultivating in the Forest of Death, so he didn't know the exact time.

"Let's go back."

Kitazawa returned to the ninja academy.

The students in the gifted class have already finished their exams and gone home.

He didn't go to the classroom, but went straight to the office.

"Senior Kitazawa."

Upon seeing him, Umino Iruka, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stood up and said, "This is the ranking of the theoretical exam for the genius class."

"Thank you for your hard work, Iruka."

Kitazawa took the report card from the gifted class and said, "You can go back now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Iruka Umino left the office.

Kitazawa took the report card and walked to the sofa.

But Xiao Nan beat him to it.

She sat on the sofa with her legs slightly together and gently smoothing them with her hands.

She then removed her ANBU mask, looked up at Kitazawa with a cold expression, and remained silent.

"It's inconvenient to look at report cards while lying down."

Kitazawa paused slightly, then said.

"I'll read it for you."

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and then said.

"also."

Kitazawa did not refuse her kindness and lay down on the sofa, resting his head on her lap.

Xiao Nan picked up the report card and started reading from the first place.

The first and second place rankings remain unchanged: Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura.

However, Sasuke Uchiha, who was originally in third place, dropped two places, and Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga became the third and fourth place winners.

Kitazawa guessed that Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata had secretly done the work.

However, that's not necessarily true, because Sasuke Uchiha has been focusing his energy on the Hatake sword technique lately.

Although the original work did not specify the difficulty level of learning the Hatake sword technique, it is undoubtedly S-rank.

After all, this is the swordsmanship of Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha.

Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze have somewhat similar styles, both leaning towards assassins, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

One is due to the Hatake sword technique, and the other is due to the Flying Thunder God technique.

At Uchiha Sasuke's age, learning the Hatake sword technique would definitely be very difficult, and he wouldn't have the extra energy to deal with the theory lessons.

Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga's theoretical exam rankings were already similar to his, so a change of one or two places is normal.

The remaining rankings didn't change much, including those of Kaguya Kimimaro and Haku.

They had been in the gifted program for quite some time, so their theoretical scores had almost caught up and remained stable.

Tayuya had the worst theoretical score, consistently ranking in the bottom ten.

However, the last place is none other than Rock Lee, who is always the best.

Kitazawa had seen his exam paper; no matter what the question was, he would always bring up youth.

It's worth mentioning Ziyuan. Although she just joined the genius class, she performed well in theoretical scores, ranking exactly twenty-fourth.

After all, she was a priestess and daimyo of the Land of Demons, and had been immersed in learning since childhood, so she had a very good learning ability.

Given time, he might be able to compete with Sakura Haruno for second place.

As for the first place, her IQ is probably still not as high as Nara Shikamaru's.

"You'd better be at the Dark Division base office at eight o'clock tomorrow and wait for me."

After hearing the rankings of the theory exam, Kitazawa said...

Tomorrow is the practical exam for the gifted class, and the top eighteen students will go out to do missions.

Kitazawa intends to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.

However, he couldn't use the Impure World Reincarnation in front of Sasuke Uchiha and the others, as that would severely damage his image.

Therefore, his plan was to use the Impure World Reincarnation beforehand, and then control Hozuki Gengetsu and Uchiha Sasuke to have an encounter battle.

"Ok."

Xiao Nan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"Xiao Nan, you're more like an Anbu member than an Anbu member now."

Kitazawa looked up at her and said with a smile and emotion.

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback.

She was about to answer that she was from the Dark Guard, but then she realized with a start that she wasn't.

Xiao Nan hesitated, unsure how to respond.

[Current Task: Cultivate four trusted confidants.]

[Mission Reward: Improved Caged Bird]

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

Kitazawa was about to tease Konan a bit, since it would be fun to tease a cool and aloof older woman, but he suddenly froze.

Three words popped into his mind. What did they mean?

Why did this system task complete at this time?
After much thought, Kitazawa could only come up with one reason: Minami.

If that's the case, according to the system's standards, his four confidants should be Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, Itachi Uchiha, and Konan.

how to say?

It doesn't seem to have any major problems.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

So, Xiao Nan's trust in him can be considered to have reached a certain level.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't identify them as trusted confidants.

Kitazawa shook his head, no longer thinking about which four confidants it was.

After all, it could be Konan, Uchiha Izumi, or any other ANBU ninja.

In short, getting the mission reward is a good thing.

Kitazawa was processing the news about the improved caged bird.

The origin of the caged bird is now unknown.

At least in the Otsutsuki clan, which shares the same origin as the Hyuga clan on the moon, the branch family and the main family were not distinguished by the Caged Bird Seal.

Their branch family and main family were simply different in their ideologies. After a long war, only Otsutsuki Toneri remained.

Otsutsuki Toneri was from a branch family, not the main family.

The Caged Bird is classified as an S-rank sealing technique within the system.

Its effect is to protect the white eye and destroy it after the recipient dies.

If that were all there was to it, the branch family of the Hyuga clan wouldn't harbor any resentment.

It also has the effect of allowing the caster to control the caged bird and thus punish the victim.

In other words, the main family of the Hyuga clan has the power of life and death over the branch families; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are masters and slaves.

Kitazawa received a modified version of the caged bird.

It lacks the two effects of the original Caged Bird, leaving only one: protecting the whites of the eyes.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

The modified caged bird was actually of little use to him.

But for the branch family of the Hyuga clan, it's a completely different story.

After all, no one wants their life to be controlled by someone else, even if that person doesn't show any malice.

After obtaining the improved version of the caged bird, he was able to modify the original caged bird.

Kitazawa was pondering a question: should he help the Hyuga clan's branch family?

As a powerful ninja clan, the Hyuga clan has a certain degree of autonomy within Konoha Village.

Under normal circumstances, the Konoha leadership, including the Hokage, would not interfere in their clan's internal affairs.

Kitazawa's behavior undoubtedly broke the rules.

However, there are always exceptions.

For example, Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga.

According to the rules of the Hyuga clan, once the main family is established, the other child should be subjected to the Caged Bird Jutsu when they are three years old.

The case is similar for the brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.

However, Hyuga Hanabi, who is now four years old, has not planted a caged bird.

The only explanation is that it was Hiashi Hyuga's protection.

Judging from the original work, Hiashi Hyuga's attitude towards the Caged Bird Seal was indeed different from that of the other main family members.

This is probably because he experienced Hyuga Hizashi's substitution.

Kitazawa thought for a moment, and even if he didn't help the branch family of the Hyuga clan, he had to help Hyuga Neji.

A genius without constraints will surely reach a higher level in terms of character.

While it may not be a dramatic leap forward in terms of strength, it will certainly have a positive impact.

[Current Task: Help the Hyuga clan's branch family replace the caged birds.]

[Mission Reward: 20% White Eye Purity.]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.

Then the system task will come, won't it?

Moreover, the mission reward is the long-awaited increase in the purity of the White Eye.

Adding his previous 60% white eye purity, he can reach an astonishing 80% white eye purity.

Once he reaches 100% Byakugan purity, he'll probably become half a ninja of the Otsutsuki clan.

Of course, this refers to the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

Kitazawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

This matter must be addressed by starting with Hinata Hanabi.

Although we don't know what method Hiashi Hyuga used in the original work, he must have had to withstand the pressure from within the clan.

Because the Hyuga clan also has a head elder.

It was his decision to send Hyuga Hizashi to die in his place.

In fact, Hiashi Hyuga was against it.

"Konan, go and call Itachi over here."

Thinking of this, Kitazawa sat up and said.

Konan nodded, put on her ANBU mask, and got up to leave.

Not long after, Itachi Uchiha knocked on the door and came in.

Kitazawa glanced at Minami.

Xiao Nan immediately left the office and closed the door.

"Itachi, there's something I need your help with."

Kitazawa cut to the chase, saying, "Go and find out about the current situation of that main elder of the Hyuga clan."

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

This task was truly unexpected. Had the Hyuga clan offended Kitazawa? But that didn't make sense.

After all, Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga were his students, and logically, the Hyuga clan and Kitazawa were in the golden age of their relationship.

Moreover, the Hyuga clan has always been law-abiding and never caused trouble for Konoha.

"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."

Although Itachi Uchiha was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions and immediately replied.

"No need to rush."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Just don't get discovered."

As a high-ranking member of Konoha, his investigation of the Hyuga clan elders would naturally be problematic if word got out, as it could easily damage his relationship with the Hyuga clan.

"I see."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

To be honest, investigating the elders of the Hyuga clan was very stressful for him.

After all, the ability to roll one's eyes is undeniable, and anyone who comes here is easily detected.

But since Kitazawa has given the order, he will do his best to complete it.

Fortunately, there was no time constraint, so he could proceed at his own pace.

The next day, Friday.

Today is the last day of the final exams for the gifted class, which is also the practical exam.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kitazawa arrived at the Anbu base.

Xiao Nan had arrived early and was waiting for her in the office.

"follow me."

Kitazawa nodded and walked outside.

To perform the Impure World Reincarnation, in addition to a portion of the summoned person's physical body, a living person is also required as a sacrifice.

Kitazawa initially thought of just grabbing a bandit or a ninja from an enemy village, but then he reconsidered and realized there was no need for such trouble.

Because there is a place in Konoha Village called Konoha Heavy Prison, which, as the name suggests, is a prison for serious criminals.

In the original work, there is a related plot in the Konoha prison that involves Mizuki.

Mizuki was imprisoned in Konoha's heavy prison after instigating Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Scroll of Seals.

During his time in Konoha's prison, he met the brothers, the Wind God and the Thunder God.

The brothers, Wind God and Thunder God, possessed immense strength. After being manipulated by Mizuki, they successfully orchestrated a prison break.

After escaping from prison, Mizuki went to Orochimaru and obtained a potion that would allow him to transform into a tiger.

In the end, he was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki and Iruka Umino, and the prisoners, including the Wind God and the Thunder God, were all captured by Tsunade and taken back to prison.

Of course, due to Kitazawa's butterfly effect, Mizuki is already dead, and the prison break can no longer be staged.

The head of Konoha's heavy punishment room was already waiting at the door.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Kitazawa, he took the initiative to go to greet him.

"Lord Kitazawa."

The middle-aged man said respectfully, "The person you requested is ready. Please follow me."

He turned and led the way, and soon they arrived at a prison cell.

Inside the cell was a young man who was tied up and unconscious.

“He is a spy from Kumogakure. We captured him half a month ago and have extracted all his information from him.”

The middle-aged man explained, "I was originally planning to kill him next week."

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Just leave him to me."

"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."

The middle-aged man stepped forward and opened the cell door.

Kitazawa casually waved his hand, and chakra surged forth, pulling the young man into the air.

He turned and walked outside.

Although the Konoha Heavy Prison was located in Konoha Village, it was very remote and there was no one around, so he didn't bother to conceal it.

After leaving the Konoha prison, he looked at Konan.

"Konan, let's go to the former Land of Whirlpools."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.

Hozuki Gengetsu's summoned creature, the Mirage, lives by the sea.

The Land of Whirlpools makes more sense, especially since it's closer to Konoha.

However, before leaving, Kitazawa formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.

He planned to have his shadow clones take Uchiha Sasuke and the others to the Land of Whirlpools, which would save him time when he headed back.

Xiao Nan walked up to him and hugged him.

She's gotten used to taking Bei Zefei with her now, so it feels natural.

The two people flew into the air.

As for the unconscious youth, he was dragged along by Kitazawa's chakra and turned into a human-shaped kite.

Because they flew, they arrived in the Land of Whirlpools at night.

The Land of Whirlpools was once a country founded by the Whirlpool Clan.

After the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, the Land of Whirlpools also ceased to exist.

This island now belongs to the Water Kingdom.

"Just here."

Kitazawa glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan hugged him and began to descend.

After regaining his footing, he let go of her hand and took a step back.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kitazawa sent the unconscious youth crashing to the ground.

He immediately took out the scroll that Xiao Nan had given him, opened it, and placed it in front of him.

Reincarnation of dirty soil!

Kitazawa stood still, his hands forming a mudra.

The unconscious youth was immediately enveloped by his chakra.

To Kitazawa, the Impure World Reincarnation was simply an alternative form of spirit summoning.

Its effect is to summon the target's soul from the Pure Land to the mortal world and possess the offering.

Kitazawa had a question that puzzled him in his previous life.

Pure Land, in layman's terms, is the hell of the ninja world. After a ninja dies, his soul will live in Pure Land.

According to the original work, the Sage of Six Paths has certain authority over the Pure Land, or rather, he is the administrator of the Pure Land.

Because he can summon the souls of the dead at will from the Pure Land.

Theoretically speaking, could he prevent the Impure World Reincarnation from happening at its source?

Kitazawa shook his head, suppressing his chaotic thoughts, because Hozuki Gengetsu had come back to life.

The young man's appearance and physique have undergone tremendous changes.

Simply put, he turned into Hozuki Gengetsu.

"Where...where am I?"

Hozuki Gengetsu looked around, a puzzled expression on his face.

Kitazawa was too lazy to communicate with him.

He raised his hand and directly buried a kunai with talismans into the back of Hozuki Gengetsu's head, erasing his consciousness.

Although Hozuki Gengetsu can unleash greater power when he is conscious, Kitazawa doesn't need him to be that strong.

"Bring out the mirage."

Kitazawa gave the instructions.

Hozuki Gengetsu formed hand seals and used a summoning technique.

A huge white clam appeared in the mist.

Kitazawa glanced at it and thought to himself that, as expected, one pot can't hold everything.

He then asked Hozuki Gengetsu to bring out the Mirage's summoning scroll, which finally dispelled the summoning spell.

Once you have the spirit scroll, you sign your name on it, and that's how you become the new master of the mirage.

Of course, the psychic contract is equal.

If you encounter a spirit beast with a bad temper, it won't recognize the contract you make.

Fortunately, the mirage seemed to be quite gentle.

Once we get it back and have Kurenai sign it, we can try communicating with the spirits once and find out the answer.

"Find a secluded place to hide."

Kitazawa put away the summoning scroll and said.

With a blank expression, Hozuki Gengetsu turned and walked towards the forest not far away.

"Ask whatever you want."

Kitazawa glanced at Konan and said with a smile.

After Hozuki Gengetsu emerged, her gaze changed several times.

Kitazawa wasn't surprised.

Seeing the forbidden technique Edo Tensei for the first time would certainly be surprising.

"Is he the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu?"

Xiao Nan hesitated for two seconds, but still couldn't help asking.

"good."

Kitazawa nodded and asked, "Have you heard of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

In the original work, it is mentioned that Tobirama Senju used the Impure World Reincarnation technique during his lifetime.

People like Chiyo, Mu, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku all know this.

"No."

Xiao Nan shook her head and said.

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa explained the general effects to her.

Xiao Nan couldn't help but think of the Akatsuki's crisis of being short of members.

If there were impure world resurrection, there would be no need to go through so much trouble recruiting people everywhere.

In addition, it can be used for the Akatsuki's business, saving on labor costs.

"It's getting late, so let's rest here and head back tomorrow."

Kitazawa estimated that Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyuga Hinata should still be in the Land of Fire at this time.

They will most likely meet at the beach or at sea when they return tomorrow.

Wood Release: Four Pillars!
Kitazawa forms a hand seal.

A wooden house immediately appeared in front of him.

Xiao Nan was already used to it. She took the initiative to step forward and open the door.

"You decorate the living room, I'll cook."

Kitazawa handed her a spirit storage scroll and said.

"Ah."

Konan nodded.

　Five thousand words, two chapters combined into one, two chapters totaling ten thousand words.
