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

Chapter 370 Konan's Forehead Kiss, Conflict Between Akatsuki and Sunagakure (Five Chapters Combined)
After their initial excitement, the gifted students began their training for the day.

Since it's February now, the first monthly exam has just passed, and there are still two months until the final exam, the next monthly exam will not be a team-based test.

As Kitazawa watched Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and the others training, he suddenly thought of Kabuto Yakushi and the others.

He rarely paid attention to them after they joined the Dark Division.

Kitazawa stroked his chin.

If all goes well, the three of them should have learned the Rasengan, so I can teach them new ninjutsu.

With that thought in mind, Kitazawa left behind a shadow clone while his main body headed towards the Anbu base.

"Kitazawa".

Xiao Nan, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and greeted her.

Kitazawa, who was walking towards his desk, suddenly turned around and stood in front of her.

He reached out and removed Konan's ANBU mask.

A cool yet beautiful face came into view.

Didn't I say that before?

Kitazawa handed her the ANBU mask and said, "When it's just the two of us, you don't need to wear the ANBU mask."

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "I'll be more careful next time."

"You sit down."

Kitazawa gave the instructions.

Xiao Nan sat back down on the sofa.

"How's business with your Akatsuki organization lately?"

Kitazawa placed his hands on her face and gently massaged it.

He couldn't help but smile as he watched the adorable expression on that pretty face as it was being fondled by his hands.

"Overall, things went relatively smoothly."

Xiao Nan paused for a moment and said, "But there have been some problems with the rainwater business."

"what is the problem?"

Kitazawa felt the touch of Minami's face and casually asked.

"There are competitors."

Konan suppressed the strange look on her face and said, "Sunagakure."

Where did they get the rainwater?

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Sunagakure Village followed our example and built a water pipeline.”

Konan explained, "Their water comes from the land of rivers."

"Are they buying water from the land of rivers?"

Kitazawa asked thoughtfully.

how to say?

It's normal for followers to emerge. Selling water may not sound like a good business, but it's actually a highly profitable industry.

Furthermore, Sunagakure was already poor, and seeing the Land of Rain making money in the Land of Wind, they naturally didn't want to fall behind.

After all, Sunagakure is located in the Land of Wind, which is their territory.

As for taking water from the land of rivers, that is also reasonable.

Firstly, the Land of Rivers is right next to the Land of Wind, so they are close in distance.

Secondly, the land of rivers has a complex terrain with numerous rivers and mountains, and abundant water.

“I had members of the Akatsuki organization investigate.”

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "They're not buying water; they're taking water directly from rivers that are unmanaged."

"That's a clever approach; it saves on costs."

Kitazawa released her hand, sat down next to her, and asked, "What's their water sales strategy?"

"Same as ours."

Xiao Nan replied, "Selling water in bulk, plus establishing a drinking water brand."

"It seems that Sunagakure's financial situation is indeed not good."

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

However, it's understandable that in the original work, Sunagakure, lacking funds, directly cooperated with Otogakure in an attempt to destroy Konoha.

But given the current situation, it will be difficult for Sunagakure to find partners.

One reason is that Konoha Village is now too powerful, with more powerful figures like Kitazawa, Tsunade, and Orochimaru than in the original work.

Secondly, since Otogakure is already part of Konoha and Kirigakure is an ally of Konoha, Sunagakure can only turn to Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

But seeking out these two ninja villages is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

What if Iwagakure and Kumogakure turn around and wipe out Sunagakure?
After all, it goes without saying which village, Sunagakure or Konoha, is easier to deal with.

Since war was not an option, and the Rain Kingdom was making a fortune selling rainwater, Rasa decided to sell it to them as well.

Although they have no rain, they have many ninjas and a puppet army, so they have no problem being porters.

"We currently have a first-mover advantage, and they are not as good as us for the time being."

Xiao Nan changed the subject and said, "But they also have advantages. They are more familiar with the Land of Wind and have already found quite a few clients."

"As time goes on, it's hard to say who will win or lose between you two."

Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, "However, given the size of the Wind Kingdom, it can certainly allow your two businesses to coexist."

"Ah."

Xiao Nan looked at him and said, "We plan to wage a price war to maintain our advantage."

“Price wars are indeed a solution, but they only address the symptoms, not the root cause.”

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.

As expected, Xiao Nan secretly passed through the tunnel.

She guessed that Kitazawa had a better way.

Why didn't you ask?

Kitazawa met her amber eyes for a few seconds and then asked.

"What should we do?"

Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then asked.

"First, tell the country of Kawano about this."

Kitazawa reached out and poked her cheek, saying.

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and immediately understood.

The Land of Rivers will definitely be unhappy if they find out that the Hidden Sand Village is making money off their rivers.

Even if they were willing, they would have Sunagakure pay for it.

This would increase the costs for Sunagakure.

They are at a disadvantage if they engage in a price war.

"Second, price wars are acceptable, but prices cannot be lowered permanently."

Kitazawa continued, "We'll select a few special days to hold promotional events."

After he finished speaking, he told her about some common promotional tactics he used in his previous life.

For example, discounts, raffles, and membership cards.

Xiao Nan was amazed by what she heard.

In particular, the membership card system can keep customers loyal to their business for a long time.

"Thirdly, is publicity."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "You can continue to use the conventional advertising methods, while also adding some unconventional ones."

"Unconventional?"

Xiao Nan's face showed curiosity.

"For example, endorsements and sponsorships."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "It's the same promotion that the Ocean Heart Jewelry Shop in Konoha Village did before."

"Then shall we ask the Lady of the Great Familia of the Land of Wind to act as our spokesperson?"

Xiao Nan immediately understood and asked.

"She's suitable for endorsing jewelry, but not for endorsing water."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Television and film actors."

After he finished speaking, he thought of the famous actress in the ninja world from the original work, Fujikaze Yukie.

Her real name is Kazeka Koyuki, and she is a princess from the Snow Kingdom who has been living in exile.

This content comes from the theatrical film "Snow Princess Ninja Scroll".

Ultimately, it was Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and others who helped Koyuki Kazahana successfully restore her country.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

He felt he could get it for free.

She would definitely be willing to act as a spokesperson unconditionally as long as it helps Feng Hua Xiao Xue restore her country.

Incidentally, Kitazawa can also give his students some experience.

[Current Mission: Help Feng Hua Xiao Xue restore her kingdom.]

[Mission Reward: Ice Release: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal.]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.

He was worried that he didn't have time to practice Ice Release.

Now, without any training, I can master the most useful ninjutsu among the current ice-style techniques.

It's not surprising that the Snow Country offers a mission reward that triggers Ice Release ninjutsu.

Because the ninjas of the Land of Snow can use Ice Release.

Of course, this is not a true ice escape technique.

It's because the Land of Snow is covered in snow, a special secret technique created by utilizing the environment.

Simply put, the Ice Release technique of the Land of Snow is about manipulating snow, while Haku's Ice Release technique is about truly creating ice.

"However, the audience for television and movies is still relatively small, so the main focus of promotion should be on sponsorship."

Kitazawa snapped out of his reverie and said, "We can hold more festivals."

Although the ninja world has television and movies, they are relatively expensive, and only upper-middle-class residents, ninjas, and nobles can afford them.

The celebration is different; everyone can participate.

"Thank you."

Xiao Nan felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge after this conversation.

Looking back now, all she came up with was a price war, which paled in comparison to Kitazawa's strategy.

"nothing."

Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "After all, I took half of the profits."

It's a win-win situation: you get a share of the money and also increase Xiao Nan's favorability.

He won twice.

"Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Villages."

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "You must prevent them from resorting to extreme measures if they can't compete."

"Well, I'll be careful."

Xiao Nan wasn't too worried.

Because their Akatsuki organization is powerful enough, and they also have Nagato, whose Rinnegan is comparable to that of a god.

Seeing her so calm, Kitazawa guessed what she was thinking.

That makes sense; Sunagakure alone couldn't do anything to Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki organization was the main villain in the original work, and they were capable of fighting against the entire ninja world.

"I'm giving you a two-week leave. Go back and deal with this matter."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said generously.

"Thank you."

Xiao Nan said gratefully.

"Then how do you want to thank me?"

Kitazawa blinked and asked.

Xiao Nan was taken aback.

She fell into deep thought.

To be honest, she didn't know how to thank Beize.

In fact, she still owes a lot of favors.

"what do you want?"

Xiao Nan looked at him and said in a cool tone, "I will try my best to do so."

Kitazawa's heart stirred, and he slowly moved closer to her.

Xiao Nan's body stiffened slightly as he drew closer.

When Kitazawa saw that she didn't dodge, he kissed her on the forehead.

Xiao Nan felt the warm touch, and her eyes unconsciously lost focus.

"Why isn't there any reaction at all?"

Kitazawa coughed lightly and asked.

Xiao Nan's behavior made him want to continue bullying her.

But he restrained himself, after all, their relationship was quite delicate.

"I...I'm leaving now, see you next time."

Xiao Nan stood up and left the office.

The door is closed.

Xiao Nan pressed her hand to her chest.

Her heartbeat quickened for the first time in a long time.

Xiao Nan touched her forehead in a daze, then disappeared from the spot.

Kitazawa sat at his desk and picked up a pen and paper.

Kabuto Yakushi is undoubtedly suited to learn Yang Release Chakra Mode.

With his talent, he will most likely be able to learn it.

Uchiha Izumi also had a ready-made ninjutsu to learn, namely the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

She has Sharingan, which is perfect for this A-rank ninjutsu.

The only troublesome thing is that Aburame takes the root.

One reason is his young age.

Secondly, his main strength comes from his poisonous insects, specifically the phosphorus-destroying insects.

Kitazawa tapped his pen on his desk and quickly came up with an idea.

He thought he could imitate the Bee Bomb Technique of the Upper Flow Clan and create a Phosphorous Damage Bomb Technique.

Phosphorus worms are poisonous insects, and the toxins in their bodies do not decrease whether they are dead or alive.

The advantage of causing phosphorus worms to explode is that they have a wider attack range than regular phosphorus worms.

For example, detonating the explosives at high altitude and dropping poison powder.

The time came in the afternoon.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Kitazawa looked up at the doorway.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha walked in.

"I called you over here for no reason other than to teach you a new ninjutsu."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."

The three of them spoke in unison.

Kitazawa took out three scrolls and handed them to them.

Yakushi Kabuto opened the scroll and glanced at it, his pupils dilating in shock.

He was an extremely skilled medical ninja, so he was well aware of the value of Yang Release Chakra Mode.

Compared to Aburame Torune and Uchiha Izumi, they were not as shocked.

"You will all follow my shadow clone to cultivate."

Kitazawa created three shadow clones in one go and led Kabuto Yakushi and the others to the nearby ANBU training ground.

He then went to the Hokage Building, where mission reports were stored.

Kitazawa quickly found a mission related to the Land of Snow.

When young Kakashi Hatake was in the Anbu, he went to the Land of Snow to carry out a mission.

At that time, he happened to witness Fuuka Noutō murder his brother and seize power, becoming the new daimyo of the Land of Snow.

Kakashi Hatake rescued Kazahana Koyuki, the daughter of the previous Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Hayayuki.

To escape the pursuit of Fuka Naoto, Fuka Koyuki changed her name to Fuji Fuka Yukie and became a movie actress.

Also fleeing with her was a minister from the Land of Snow named Asama Santayu, who became Koyuki Kazahana's manager.

When Koyuki Fuuka grew up, he felt the time was right and contacted Kakashi Hatake, attempting to reclaim the Land of Snow.

With the help of Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and others, they succeeded, and Koyuki Kazahana became the new Daimyo of the Land of Snow.

Kitazawa nodded after reading the mission report.

The plot was similar to what he remembered, with no major deviations.

Kitazawa stood there, lost in thought.

Should we send an ANBU member to contact Asama Santayu, or should we send an old acquaintance like Hatake Kakashi to contact Asama Santayu?
Kitazawa ultimately chose the former.

Asama Santayu was determined to restore his country, and he would readily agree to help anyone who could do so.

Kitazawa put down the mission report and turned to leave.

However, he did not rush to find Asama Santayu.

Because he planned to use it as the subject for the next monthly exam.

Two weeks passed quickly.

March has arrived.

Kitazawa still hadn't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he had learned Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall.

As for Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique, it's still lacking.

Because he had been researching the World-Destroying Arrow during this period.

Hokage's office.

Kitazawa raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Tsunade's voice came through.

She sounded very dignified, but as soon as she saw it was Kitazawa, she instantly revealed her true colors and became extremely lazy.

"What do you want from me?"

Tsunade leaned back in her office chair and asked.

"I'll take you out to play."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"To the casino?"

Tsunade suddenly sat up.

Because it happened so suddenly, her clothes swayed and were revealed in shape.

"No."

Kitazawa's eyelids twitched, and he said, "I've created a new archery technique, and I'd like you to take a look."

"It's boring."

Tsunade pursed her lips and said.

"So, after we finish watching, we'll go to the casino?"

Kitazawa walked up to her and asked.

"This is acceptable!"

Tsunade perked up, stood up, and said, "Let's not waste time, let's go!"

"In such a hurry, do you even know where you're going?"

Kitazawa grabbed her hand and asked.

"Didn't you want to demonstrate your bow-based secret techniques? Why don't you just go to the training grounds?"

Tsunade asked in return, looking puzzled.

"The training ground is too small; we can't fully utilize our skills."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

Tsunade was slightly taken aback.

The training grounds in Konoha Village were built very large, taking into account the number of ninjas and the range of ninjutsu. The longest one could have a diameter of more than 100 meters.

Logically speaking, the range of most ninjutsu is no more than one hundred meters.

However, it's normal for bow-based techniques to exceed one hundred meters.

"Where to go?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and asked.

"Go to the desert of the land of wind."

Kitazawa replied.

"so far?"

Tsunade's face showed astonishment.

"The desert is quite vast, and there won't be any people there."

Kitazawa explained.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but after watching it, who will have time to go to the casino?"

Tsunade raised her hand and elbowed him in the waist, asking with displeasure.

Don't you know me?

Kitazawa kissed her on the cheek, then whispered in her ear, "I've already sent Lord Livebear to the desert ahead of time."

"That's pretty much it."

Tsunade ignored his kiss and urged, "Then make it use the Reverse Summoning Technique now."

Kitazawa nodded and used the summoning technique.

We also need to leave a live slug clone here.

A spatial fluctuation occurred, and Tsunade and Kitazawa were summoned to the desert.

"Tsunade-sama."

The slug greeted him first, "Lord Kitazawa."

"Kitazawa, let's begin."

Tsunade said with interest, "I want to see just how powerful your bow-based secret technique really is."

She knew Kitazawa's personality well; if it were just bow-based secret techniques like Spiral Arrow and Explosive Arrow, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

She is, after all, the Hokage, and has many things to do.

While bow-based secret techniques like Spiral Arrow and Explosive Arrow are quite powerful, they weren't powerful enough to warrant her running to the desert to observe.

Kitazawa took out the Dragon-Slaying Bow.

Although he had been researching the World-Destroying Arrow, he had never actually carried it out.

Because it would waste a lot of chakra.

This time, only after he was sufficiently confident did he prepare to truly unleash the World-Destroying Arrow.

But it's no fun without an audience, so he simply called Tsunade over.

Annihilation Arrow!
Kitazawa drew back the bowstring.

In an instant, the Dragon-Startling Bow trembled.

Tsunade subconsciously glanced at the Dragon Shock Bow in Kitazawa's hand.

Even without using sensory ninjutsu, she could sense an extremely terrifying amount of chakra gathering.

What kind of archery secret technique is this?
A hint of anticipation flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

When his chakra reached its limit, Kitazawa released his grip.

An arrow of Yin-style escape flew out and hit a rock a thousand meters away.

Boom!
Like an earthquake, the entire desert shook.

Under the impact of the terrifying chakra, the yellow sand exploded into a height of hundreds of meters like ocean waves.

"Tailed beast jade?"

Tsunade's mouth dropped open, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The power of this world-destroying arrow is no less than that of a regular tailed beast ball.

As for the special Tailed Beast Ball, it refers to the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

Because Kurama has so much chakra, the power of its Tailed Beast Balls is much stronger, and it can even unleash them repeatedly, achieving a world-destroying effect. "Not bad."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "This is the World-Destroying Arrow that I created in imitation of the Tailed Beast Ball."

"The dragon vein is indeed comparable to the tailed beast."

"Tsunade sighed."

With her knowledge, she could naturally understand the origin of the World-Destroying Arrow.

The decisive factor is the dragon vein, not the northern marshland.

"The only pity is that the dragon vein sealed in the Dragon-Slaying Bow has no ability to recover and will only decrease with use."

Kitazawa said with some regret.

"There are never so many perfect things in life."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "Even if it can't be restored, it'll be enough for you to use for a long time."

"This is true."

Kitazawa smiled and asked, "What do you think of the World-Destroying Arrow?"

"It is naturally perfect."

Tsunade praised, "From now on, our Konoha Village will essentially have two Jinchuriki."

As Hokage, the stronger Konoha became, the happier she was.

Of course, more importantly, the extra Jinchūriki is Kitazawa.

She felt that her retirement day was getting closer and closer.

"There are more than two."

Kitazawa corrected, "Hinata and Neji's two bows can also do that, although the cooldown time is very long."

Enlightenment and Zero Tail are far inferior to Dragon Vein; using them once would probably take a year and a half to recover.

But as the saying goes, having something is better than not having it; in a life-or-death situation, the World-Destroying Arrow can completely turn the tide.

Tsunade's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but think of the Second Shinobi World War.

If we had Kitazawa's three bows back then, we would have suffered far fewer losses.

This also applies to the Third Shinobi World War.

"Let's go back."

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and said, "With such a commotion, Sunagakure ninjas should be coming to investigate soon."

"It doesn't matter."

Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "They'll never guess why."

"I will now have my clone use the Reverse Spirit Spell."

The slug beneath their feet vanished from its spot.

A moment later, a mysterious call came.

The two gave up resisting, and with a sway, they returned to the Hokage's office.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Live Slug."

Kitazawa looked at the live slug on the Hokage's desk and thanked him.

"That's my job."

The slug said gently, "If you need anything next time, just let me know."

After it finished speaking, it deactivated itself and returned to the Wet Bone Forest.

"Compared to Ryuchi Cave and Mt. Myoboku, the contractors of Shikkotsu Forest are more respected."

Kitazawa remarked with emotion.

"You can say that to my face, but don't say it to Jiraiya."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then added, "But I think you're right."

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Tsunade struggled instinctively for a moment, but quickly went limp and leaned against him, responding positively.

Kitazawa could easily feel the weight and softness in his arms.

After some back and forth, the two parted ways.

Why did you suddenly become like this?

Tsunade took a breath and glared at him.

"A reward for you."

Kitazawa was spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Alright, now that we've seen the bow-based secret techniques, let's head to the casino."

Tsunade couldn't help but kick him, shove him away, and said.

"Let's go."

Since Kitazawa has already benefited, he definitely has to satisfy her needs.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just kicking someone.

"There's something I need to tell you."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Kitazawa spoke.

"what's up?"

Tsunade glanced at him and slowed her pace slightly.

"It's about Amegakure."

Kitazawa stated directly, "According to our investigation, Hanzo is dead, and the Akatsuki organization is now in control of Amegakure."

"what?"

Tsunade instinctively stopped in her tracks. "Are you sure?"

That battle left such a deep impression on her that she couldn't believe he had died so quietly.

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and said with certainty, "That is absolutely true."

"Akatsuki Organization?"

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Why does this sound so familiar?"

"Jiraiya-sama."

Kitazawa reminded him.

Tsunade immediately remembered.

Jiraiya took in three students in Amegakure, and these three students founded the Akatsuki organization.

"But aren't they dead?"

Tsunade asked, puzzled.

In the original work, it is mentioned that the toads of Mount Myōboku gave Jiraiya a scroll that said Nagato and others were dead.

"Although it's called Akatsuki, we can't be sure who its members are."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "We are still investigating the more specific details."

"Ah."

Tsunade exhaled and said.

The two people went to the casino.

Kitazawa sat next to Tsunade as usual, not looking at her, and continued training on his own.

His training program today is the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Kitazawa closed his eyes, sensing the faint space around him.

He is currently in the first stage of practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Meanwhile, in the desert of the Land of Wind.

The giant crater left by the world-destroying arrow is still there, as bottomless as an abyss.

The sound of whistling wind arose.

A cloud-shaped piece of sand floated down from mid-air.

Standing on the cloud-like sand was a young man, none other than the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

He mastered the Magnet Release technique, which is why he can fly, although he does so by using sand.

Luo Sha subconsciously looked at the giant pit, his expression turning serious.

It is clear that this is not a natural disaster but a man-made one.

Because he sensed the residual chakra fluctuations.

Luo Sha frowned involuntarily.

Faced with such a huge pit, he could only think of two possibilities.

This person either knows Magnet Release or Earth Release, or is a Jinchūriki.

Otherwise, he could hardly imagine any ninja who could create such a terrifying aura.

But what is his purpose?
Luo Sha glanced around but found no signs of a battle.

Could it be to intimidate Sunagakure?

"Kazekage-sama!"

A figure approached from afar and stopped below Luo Sha.

"Yura, what brings you here?"

Luo Sha controls the sand pad to descend.

Yura is the Jonin of Sunagakure Village.

In the original work, he was controlled by Sasori and turned into a spy. During Sasori and Deidara's capture of the One-Tailed Beast, he killed many Sunagakure ninjas.

"Our village's water pipeline is not far away."

Yura replied, "I suddenly heard a loud noise and rushed over."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this giant crater have been created by Amegakure to intimidate Sunagakure?
After all, during this period, Sunagakure and Amegakure were competing for the water business in the Land of Wind.

"Lord Kazekage, what happened to this giant crater?"

Yoshimi asked curiously, "Did you create it using Magnet Release?"

Rasa was mining in the desert, a fact known only to a few Jonin in Sunagakure.

Yura was one of them; he subconsciously mistook Rasa for someone mining.

"No."

Luo Sha shook his head and said, "I just arrived too."

"If it's not you, then who else has such great ability?"

Yura looked surprised.

The vast majority of ninjas could not create such a massive crater.

"I suspect it's Amegakure."

Luo Sha thought for a moment and then reminded her, "We need to increase vigilance regarding the water pipelines recently."

"Does Amegakure have such audacity?"

Yura paused for a moment, then said, "Our Sunagakure is several times stronger than Amegakure."

"After all, the leader of Amegakure is Hanzo."

Luo Sha said in a deep voice, "He is not to be underestimated."

"We haven't heard from Hanzo for a long time; he might have already passed away."

Yura guessed.

"Probably not."

Rasa shook his head and said, "All the spies we sent to Amegakure have disappeared without a trace. Only Hanzo could have done that."

Among the ninjas he sent were many Jonin.

But Amegakure always manages to pinpoint their location and eliminate them.

With his strength and skill, who else but Hanzo could it be?

In the minds of most ninjas, Hanzo was a formidable figure no less powerful than the Five Kage.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo led Amegakure in a massive battle against Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure.

Although they didn't win, they still earned a formidable reputation.

His feat of defeating Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru single-handedly and bestowing upon them the title of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha is widely known in the ninja world.

"Moreover, the fact that Amegakure dares to compete with Sunagakure for the water business shows that they are not afraid of us."

Luo Sha added, "Only Hanzo has that kind of confidence."

"So we're just going to sit idly by and watch Amegakure go unchecked?"

Yura asked instinctively.

"Who created this giant crater is still unknown."

Luo Sha thought for a moment and said, "Let's make money first. If Amegakure really dares to start a war, we're not afraid."

In Amegakure, he was only worried about Hanzo.

But when it comes to war, he has to worry that ninja villages like Iwagakure and Konoha will take advantage of the chaos.

Especially now that Konoha Village is excessively strong, it has once again possessed terrifying Wood Release ninjas.

The next day, a new week.

The temperature in Konoha Village has risen considerably since March.

Kitazawa walked down the street and felt a long-lost warmth.

After all, we've moved from winter to spring.

Today is Monday, so I don't have to go to school.

Kitazawa plans to go to the Anbu base to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and also check if Konan has returned.

Besides that, there is one more thing.

Have the secret service investigate the location of Fuuka Koyuki.

She is now a well-known movie star in the ninja world, so finding her location is very easy. Therefore, Kitazawa did not send Uchiha Itachi to carry out this mission.

After all, a task without difficulty is not worthy of Itachi Uchiha's strength.

Kitazawa pushed open the office door and saw Minami sitting on the sofa.

"Kitazawa".

Xiao Nan immediately stood up.

"When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"

Kitazawa chuckled and asked.

"I came back last night."

Xiao Nan explained, "It's too late, so I didn't want to bother you."

"Is that so?"

Kitazawa walked up to her, pinched her cheek, and asked, "How have you been these past two weeks?"

"It went pretty well."

Xiao Nan was already used to his face-pinching, and said in the same tone, "We'll have to wait and see how effective it is."

"That's good."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "You can let me know if you have any questions."

"Ah."

Xiao Nan responded.

Kitazawa looked at her and suddenly thought of a question.

Will Sunagakure and Amegakure start fighting because of the water trade?
After all, Sunagakure didn't know that Amegakure was backed by the Akatsuki organization.

They definitely believed that Sunagakure was much stronger than Amegakure, and in short, they held the advantage.

Thinking about it carefully, even if a real fight breaks out, it won't affect Konoha Village.

Kitazawa felt that the most urgent task was to improve their strength.

If they are strong enough, a fight between them would actually be very advantageous to Konoha.

Because Konoha Village has a reason to intervene.

"Go and call the antelope."

Kitazawa extended his hand and said, "I have something I need her to do."

"Ah."

Konan stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly remembered something, so she put on the ANBU mask.

A moment later, the antelope knocked on the door and came in.

"Go and investigate Fuji Fuyuki-e."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Report to me next Friday."

Next Friday is the second monthly exam for the gifted class.

"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."

The antelope bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

He plans to bring Shiro with him on this trip to the Land of Snow.

Haku possesses Ice Release, which provides a certain advantage in the Snow Country environment.

Aside from Bai, he was somewhat conflicted about the other two candidates.

However, he doesn't plan to bring Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki this time.

Because the main villain in this theatrical version, Fuuka Nutō, is not very powerful.

After all, this was the first theatrical film, and its power level couldn't compare to the later films where the characters' strength had increased significantly.

However, it also has its merits, such as railways and airships.

He felt that he could bring back these two technologies, which could be used to renovate Konoha or the ninja world in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Kitazawa finally decided to bring Yamanaka Ino and Inuzuka Kiba along.

The two weeks of training passed quickly.

It's Thursday, a new week.

Today is the first day of the second monthly exam for the gifted class, which is the theory exam.

Kitazawa didn't go; he didn't go to the ninja school until the next day, Friday.

nine in the morning.

The gifted students have all arrived and are discussing group assignments.

Kitazawa was also discussing group assignments with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

After finalizing the results, he went to the students in the gifted class and announced the group assignments.

"Great!"

Yamanaka Ino exclaimed excitedly, "It's Kitazawa-sensei leading the team again!"

"My chance has come!"

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fists instinctively.

Neither Haku nor Yamanaka Ino are as strong as him.

He could have easily exceeded his usual standard and won first place.

He wouldn't have this thought if he were teammates with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

Bai nodded seriously.

Now his strength is comparable to that of a Chunin, and he is getting closer and closer to his dream.

Although he can't join the Anbu yet, Kitazawa is leading the team this time, so he has to perform well.

"These are the group assignments for this practical exam."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "The top eighteen students can now go to their respective teachers to carry out their duties."

As for the remaining students, Iruka Umino will be in charge of conducting the traditional practical exams.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Yamanaka Ino skipped and hopped over to him.

Her golden bangs swayed with her movements.

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

Kiba Inuzuka asked impatiently.

"I'd say it's S-rank."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.

Fuuka Nutō is a Jonin, and he also has three subordinates who are roughly Special Jonin.

In addition, they also have a special ninja tool called Chakra Armor.

This chakra armor has good defensive capabilities and the ability to amplify chakra.

"S-level?"

Kiba Inuzuka said confidently, "Just wait and see what I do!"

"That's not certain."

Yamanaka Ino said, hands on her hips.

Bai didn't speak, but nodded.

Kiba Inuzuka was immediately puzzled.

I've never seen you guys this enthusiastic before!

Both Haku and Yamanaka Ino are quite strong; if they get serious, the outcome is hard to predict.

"Alright, let's hurry and get going. This time we need to get to the Land of Earth."

Kitazawa patted Yamanaka Ino's head and said.

"An S-rank mission from the Land of Earth? Could it be related to the Third Tsuchikage?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously.

"how is this possible?"

Yamanaka Ino immediately retorted, "If it's the Third Tsuchikage, then it can't be considered an S-rank."

"Too."

Kiba Inuzuka scratched his head and asked, "Kitazawa-sensei, who is the target of this mission?"

"We'll talk about the mission objective later; we need to find our employer first."

Kitazawa chuckled and said.

"what?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked, puzzled, "What does this mean? Has our employer disappeared?"

Have you heard of Fuji Fuuyuki-e (Fuji Snow Painting)?

Kitazawa countered with a question.

"No."

Kiba Inuzuka and Shiro said in unison.

"I know."

Yamanaka Ino quickly replied, "My dad took me to see one of her movies before."

"What is a movie?"

A puzzled expression appeared on his pale face.

He hadn't seen the movie, so he had no idea.

Yamanaka Ino immediately gave him a brief explanation of what a movie is.

"Teacher Kitazawa, why do we need a movie actor?"

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Is it a movie shoot?"

"You have no acting skills, what kind of movies are you going to make?"

Kitazawa smiled and said, "She is our employer. She is filming in the Land of Earth. We can find out the specifics of the mission by finding her."

"Actually, I really want to make movies."

Kiba Inuzuka longed, "Then all the ninjas in the ninja world will know my name."

"If you become a strong ninja, you can also be famous throughout the ninja world."

Kitazawa glanced at him and said.

"In the ninja world, everyone knows Kitazawa-sensei!"

Yamanaka Ino expressed her admiration.

"You're making things difficult for me."

Kiba Inuzuka shook his head and asked, "How could I possibly compare to Kitazawa-sensei?"

"I never said you could compare to Kitazawa-sensei."

Ino Yamanaka hugged Kitazawa's arm and gave Kiba Inuzuka a smug smile.

"..."

Kiba Inuzuka's lips twitched, but he couldn't refute it.

"Boost."

Kitazawa withdrew his hand and tapped Yamanaka Ino on the forehead, saying...

"Yes, Mr. Kitazawa!"

Yamanaka Ino said with a big smile.
