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

Chapter 380 The Biting Konan, the Conspiracy Between Sunagakure and Kirigakure (5 chapters combined)
Three days later, Kitazawa, Konan, and Miyajo En arrived at the border of the Land of Grass, beyond which lay the Land of Rain.

The two countries are clearly divided by rainwater.

"Xiao Nan, I'll leave you here. Come back soon."

Kitazawa stopped and said, "I still need to go back to the Land of Lightning to pick up Hinata and the others."

Miyajo En's mind stirred.

He had thought Kitazawa would be sent to Amegakure, but he didn't expect that he would only go to the Land of Rain.

When Kitazawa was around, he dared not have the slightest thought.

Now that he's gone, Xiao Nan is all alone.

Miyajo En felt his chance had come; he could run away.

"I will return to Konoha Village as soon as possible."

Xiao Nan nodded and said.

Kitazawa said nothing more and turned to leave.

Konan withdrew her gaze and entered the Land of Rain.

Miya Shiro followed behind her, his mind racing.

Xiao Nan didn't care about his thoughts.

Because this is the land of rain.

From the moment he entered, everything he did was in vain.

Kitazawa stopped after walking for a while.

He stretched out his hand, and the ground nearby immediately trembled.

All iron-related substances were drawn by his magnetic escape technique and eventually turned into black iron sand.

Under Kitazawa's control, the iron sand condensed into a pair of wings behind him.

He leaped into the air and flew at an extremely fast speed.

Returning from the Land of Lightning to the Land of Rain, he couldn't have Konan carry him because of Miyajo En, so he just traveled normally.

Now that he's all alone, he no longer needs to pretend.

At the same time, Kitazawa activated his Byakugan.

If Hinata and the others finish their mission and head back, he will see them and they can meet up halfway.

A day and a half later, Kitazawa re-entered the Land of Lightning.

The flight speed was about half again as fast as normal travel.

This is Kitazawa's normal speed.

If he activates the Thousand Hands Chakra Mode and the Yang Release Chakra Mode, his speed can be doubled.

Kitazawa's gaze sharpened, and he immediately swooped down.

After landing, he retracted his sand-iron wings and stood in place waiting.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Hinata Hyuga was the first to spot him.

Since this is within the Land of Lightning, she uses her Byakugan while traveling, acting as a sensory ninja.

Kitazawa then deactivated the Shadow Clone Technique.

With his memories returning, he immediately learned what had happened in the past few days.

Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Haku signed up for the arena and quickly advanced due to their impressive skills.

That afternoon, they received a notification that they would be playing against Kazeshin and Chino.

First, Bai faced off against Feng Xin and lost to his Tai Dun.

Then Yamanaka Ino fought against Fushin and defeated him with illusion magic.

Then she fought against Chino, but lost to her Blood Dragon Eye due to insufficient information.

Hinata Hyuga finally appeared and defeated Chino with the Moon Chasing Bow.

These two matches took two days due to the arena's schedule.

After the battle, Kitazawa's shadow clone found Chino and offered to help her and Kazeshin escape the arena.

Chino agreed without much thought.

Because escaping the arena and Miyajo En has always been her dream.

In the original work, Chino and Kazeko's final fate was to join Kirigakure.

Even before, Kirigakure had dealt a devastating blow to their Thunder Heart Group.

It's not surprising that he joined Konoha now.

After reviewing the memories, Kitazawa's gaze fell on Chino.

She doesn't look very old; she even seems younger than Hinata Hyuga and the others.

Besides Chino, there are also Kazeshin and others.

They were all arena competitors, but in reality, they were slaves, only there for entertainment.

Moreover, this group of people are generally quite young.

Feng Xin is the oldest among them, and he looks like a teenager.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

Chino can join the genius class.

Feng Xin possesses a unique platform-style technique and is quite capable, more than qualified to become an ANBU ninja.

The remaining children were entrusted to Yakushi Nonou and would live in the Konoha Orphanage from then on.

Those with ninja talent are assigned to ninja school, but whether they can get into the genius class depends on their abilities.

Kitazawa didn't say anything more. His shadow clone had already said what he needed to say. After meeting again, the group continued on their way.

On the afternoon of the second day, they arrived at Konoha Village.

Kitazawa was relieved that one monthly exam was canceled; otherwise, the semester would have exceeded the allotted time again.

This mission to the Land of Lightning has been delayed by more than a week, almost two weeks.

"You three go home and rest first."

Kitazawa looked at Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Haku and said.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The three people responded and then left.

"You guys come with me."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "I'll take you to see the Hokage of our Konoha Village."

Chino and Kazeko exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat nervous.

Although they were in a relatively closed environment, they still had some understanding of the five villages and the shadows.

"Don't worry, she's a nice person."

Kitazawa noticed their expressions and said reassuringly.

There are many bloodline limits in the ninja world.

Some bloodline limits are not very useful or valuable, but Platform Release and Blood Dragon Eye are powerful bloodline limits.

With proper training, obtaining two elite Jonin is a sure thing.

Although Tsunade has a bad temper, as the Hokage, she naturally wouldn't be rude when she saw two geniuses voluntarily joining Konoha.

Not just her, but any villager would be happy too.

After all, elite Jonin are extremely rare even in the Five Great Villages.

Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Why are there so many people?"

Tsunade looked at Chino and Fushin behind Kitazawa and immediately showed a surprised expression.

The last time Kitazawa brought so many children back was after he defeated Orochimaru and reclaimed Otogakure.

But this time he went to the Land of Lightning, didn't he?

Did they steal it from Kumogakure?

"An unexpected bonus."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and began to recount the whole story, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.

Of course, he skipped the part about recruiting Miyajo En with Konan.

In summary, it boils down to two sentences.

In order to train Hinata and the others, he had them sign up for the fighting competition.

But after he saw that their opponents were all children, he investigated their situation and learned about the darkness of the arena.

"So you brought them back? Are they anything special?"

After listening, Tsunade asked a question.

She knew Kitazawa; he wasn't the kind of person who would readily offer kindness.

"Feng Xin possesses the bloodline limit, Platform Release, which allows him to create typhoons, making it more powerful than ordinary Wind Release."

Kitazawa explained.

"That sounds really good."

Tsunade nodded, acknowledging the value of the Wind Heart.

She then looked at Chino.

"Blood Dragon Eye".

Kitazawa said succinctly.

"It's actually a Blood Dragon Eye?"

Tsunade's face showed surprise.

Although the Blood Pond Clan belonged to the ninja clans of the Warring States period, so did the Senju Clan.

She had once heard Hashirama Senju mention the Blood Pond Clan, who possessed the Blood Dragon Eye, comparable to the Sharingan.

"very good."

Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "Welcome to Konoha Village."

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa told her about his plans for them.

"can."

Tsunade thought about it and then agreed.

"I'll have Haru call Nono-senpai over."

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa turned around and went to the door.

After hearing this, Qing disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, Yakushi Nonou walked in.

She glanced at Chino and the others subconsciously before bowing to Tsunade.

"Nonou, you'll be in charge of taking care of them from now on."

Tsunade got straight to the point.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Yakushi Nonou agreed without hesitation.

To her, orphans are all the same everywhere.

"If you need money, remember to go to Lina."

Tsunade reminded her.

"I see."

Yakushi Nonou nodded and said.

Previously, the Konoha orphanage was often short of money because of Danzo Shimura, but this stopped happening after Tsunade became Hokage.

Furthermore, Kitazawa's series of actions have enabled Konoha Village to earn a lot of money, allowing them to be more generous in many matters.

"Fengxin, settle in with Senior Nonou for now, and go to the Anbu tomorrow."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "Chino, you too, come to the Ninja Academy tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."

Kazeshin and Chino said in unison.

"Then I'll take them away first."

Yakushi Nonou looked at Chino and the others with a smile and said, "Please follow me."

Her kind and gentle smile put Chino and the others at ease.

They nodded and followed her out of the Hokage's office.

The door is closed.

Kitazawa walked up to Tsunade.

"Why do I get the feeling that you always bring some geniuses back to the village?"

Tsunade looked at him and asked.

"lucky."

Kitazawa blinked and said.

"Really?"

Tsunade was somewhat skeptical.

"These geniuses come from all over the ninja world. You can't possibly say that I arranged this, can you?"

Kitazawa asked with a smile.

"Too."

Tsunade nodded and said.

"I brought back the Blood Dragon Eye and the Platform Escape Technique. Don't you have any extra rewards for me?"

Kitazawa's gaze drifted to her snow-white necklace.

"Do you want Konoha's reward, or mine?"

Tsunade noticed his gaze and immediately guessed what he wanted.

"In my heart, your reward is more important than Konoha's reward."

Kitazawa said with a serious expression.

"..."

Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be touched or angry.

Although Kitazawa said her status was higher than that of Konoha, Tsunade knew him well and knew that he most likely wanted to take advantage of her.

"You sit down."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei!"

Kitazawa immediately became excited.

"Don't touch me!"

Tsunade stood up, pressed his head into her arms, and warned him.

But Kitazawa believed that if you don't want to use your hands, you can use your words.

"Do you want to die?"

Tsunade shuddered and raised her hand to tap him on the back of the head.

But it still didn't work.

"Your reward has ended!"

Tsunade, unable to bear it any longer, pushed him away, glared at him, and said angrily.

"See you tomorrow, Tsunade-sensei!"

Kitazawa quickly disappeared from the spot.

Tsunade stood there for a moment, her face slightly flushed, before straightening her clothes.

What is this bastard thinking about?
The time came the next day.

All the students and teachers in the gifted class have arrived.

Before announcing the rankings for this monthly exam, let me introduce a new student to you.

Kitazawa said with a smile.

The students in the genius class instinctively looked at Chino.

They had noticed her before.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chino. Please take care of me from now on."

Upon hearing this, Chino stepped forward and greeted them.

"Chino, come here!"

Yamanaka Ino said enthusiastically.

Chino looked at Kitazawa, and after receiving his consent, she walked towards Yamanaka Ino.

Her relationship with Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga began with a conflict that led to them becoming friends.

Hinata Hyuga's strength, in particular, impressed her greatly.

Of course, she was more interested in the gifted program.

She had heard Yamanaka Ino talk about the genius class before, and even Hinata Hyuga would have a hard time ranking in the top three.

She was very curious about just how terrifying the strength of a genius even stronger than Hinata Hyuga truly was.

"The top six in this practical exam will serve as temporary team captains for the final exam team battle."

Kitazawa gave a reminder and then said, "I'll read out the rankings from the practical exam first."

As before, team battles were added to the final exams.

This time, however, Kitazawa was in a calm state of mind and didn't care who came in first place.

Because he did not trigger the relevant system task.

"...These are the complete rankings for this monthly exam."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "It's almost time, everyone go train."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The students in the gifted class all went to find their respective teachers.

"Chino, you'll join my study group."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Chino nodded and said.

She is looking forward to her training.

On their way back to Konoha, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuga Hinata, and Haku raved about Kitazawa.

After Kitazawa created a shadow clone to instruct his study group students, he called Chino to the nearby playground.

In the original work, Chino was quite strong, at least at the level of a special Jonin.

The main reason lies in her blood dragon eye.

The Blood Dragon Eye possesses genjutsu comparable to the Sharingan, which alone makes it superior to many ninjas.

In addition, she also knows blood magic and water escape techniques.

But we'll only know for sure once we try it.

After all, she is still young and not as powerful as she was in the original story.

"Let's have a friendly spar first."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chino immediately activated her Blood Dragon Eye.

The once adorable little girl's eyes turned scarlet, making her seem like some kind of yandere; her demeanor changed drastically.

Blood Dragon Eye - Illusion!

Chino's eyes widened, and her pupil power expanded outwards.

Kitazawa nodded slightly.

In terms of eye power, she was roughly equivalent to a two-tomoe Sharingan at this time.

It must be said that ninjas with bloodline limits are truly blessed.

Water Release: Rain and Scattering!

When Chino saw that the illusion of the Blood Dragon Eyes was ineffective, she immediately formed hand seals.

More than a dozen fist-sized water droplets appeared and all of them crashed towards Kitazawa.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Kitazawa spat out a huge fireball, which evaporated all the water droplets.

The fog is thick.

Chino rushed forward and threw a punch at him.

Kitazawa immediately grabbed her fist.

A considerable force was transmitted.

Chino immediately looked at him, blood seeping from her blood dragon eyes.

She channeled all her pupil power outwards, but it was still to no avail.

Chino couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why did Kitazawa ignore her illusion?
She was certain that Kitazawa hadn't instantly dispelled her illusion; rather, he hadn't been affected at all.

"What other ninjutsu do you know?"

Kitazawa released her hand and asked.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."

Chino told the truth.

"It's quite impressive that you've learned two water-style ninjutsu at your age."

Kitazawa nodded and commented.

The students in the gifted class have extremely excellent teachers, but Chino does not.

She's a bit like the Root ninjas, forced to grow rapidly through brutal training.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Chino hesitated for two seconds, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "What level is my strength in the genius class?"

"With your strength, and by using the illusion technique of the Blood Dragon Eye, you can make it into the top fifteen."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

"Can we only make it into the top fifteen?"

Chino was surprised.

Although I had expected it, I still couldn't quite believe it when I actually heard it.

After all, when she was in the arena, apart from Feng Xin who could exchange a few blows with her, no one else was her match.

"Next semester I will hold a traditional one-on-one sparring practical exam."

Kitazawa smiled and said, "You can test their strength then."

The midterm exams are over, and the next final exam will be a team competition, which Chino Tsuyoshi is not suitable to participate in.

Next semester, once she's integrated into the gifted class, she can try the placement tests.

Kitazawa stroked his chin.

Chino is highly likely to make it into the top 18, which means one of them will drop out.

With the addition of Shion, who has never made it into the top 18, Kitazawa felt that they could expand the team by another one.

However, if a team consists of three people, they are still one short.

"I'll teach you Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique first."

Kitazawa pondered for a moment, then said.

He hasn't mastered the Blood Dragon Eye and Blood Dragon Technique yet, so he can't teach them for the time being.

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."

Chino nodded and said.

Kitazawa waited for a moment, but no relevant system task was triggered.

Does it only trigger when you teach Blood Dragon Eye - Blood Dragon Technique?

Kitazawa put aside his thoughts and began teaching.

After speaking for an hour, he created a shadow clone to specifically instruct Chino.

Around noon, Chino was dragged by Ino Yamanaka to have lunch with the other students in the genius class.

Over time, everyone got to know each other.

They're just kids, after all, they don't have any ulterior motives.

After resuming classes in the afternoon, Kitazawa left a shadow clone and went to the Forest of Death to practice Wood Release: Ranking Technique.

As the sun set, he heard a soft sound of footsteps.

Kitazawa looked up and saw Minami.

She returned to Konoha and changed into her Anbu uniform.

"You're back so soon?" Kitazawa chuckled and asked.

"Nothing."

Xiao Nan replied.

"After I left that day, did Yuya Shiro Yan behave himself?"

Bei Ze stopped cultivating, walked up to her, and asked.

"He's not exactly well-behaved, but he's already integrated into the Akatsuki organization."

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and then said.

After Kitazawa left, Miyajo En took advantage of her inattention and ran frantically outside.

She didn't pursue them, but instead notified Bai Jue.

Not long after, Miyajo En was captured by Pain.

She still remembered his expression when he was captured; he was visibly shaken, likely shocked by Pain's power.

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

He could guess what Miyajo En had done.

After all, he was forced to join the Akatsuki organization by Konan and her, so it would be strange if he didn't try to run away.

"You've worked hard. Go back to the Dark Guard base and rest."

Kitazawa reached out and gently stroked her face, saying...

"Ah."

Xiao Nan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on his hand.

She opened her mouth and bit his thumb with her neat, pearly teeth.

"When did you learn to bite?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Nan licked the spot where she had just bitten her, just like a kitten.

Seeing such a tempting scene, Kitazawa immediately withdrew his hand.

He leaned forward and kissed her lips, retaliating in kind.

Xiao Nan's body tensed up at first, then relaxed.

She took a half step forward and leaned into Kitazawa's arms.

Xiao Nan closed her eyes, hugged his neck tightly, and felt her heart racing during their verbal sparring.

She had a strange feeling of being alive again, and felt very at ease.

Kitazawa's hand moved down her back and finally landed on her buttocks.

While not as voluptuous as Tsunade's figure, Konan's figure is perfect, with every part in just the right place.

After a long while, Xiao Nan took a half step back.

Her face flushed slightly, she took a few breaths, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Kitazawa smiled and shook his head.

She was the one who initiated it, but she ran away after flirting with him.

But then he suddenly realized a problem.

Perhaps, given Xiao Nan's personality, she doesn't realize how devastating her actions are to him.

July has arrived.

The gifted class is once again facing final exams and the upcoming summer vacation.

The final exams officially began on July 14th.

The first day was a theoretical exam. Kitazawa didn't go to the Ninja Academy, but instead went to the Anbu base.

He sat at his desk and took out a blank training sheet.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and he needs to devise a special summer training plan for everyone in the gifted class.

Kitazawa thought for a moment, then took out a second blank training sheet.

It's called a summer intensive training program, but it's actually a summary of this semester and the current stage.

The training for gifted students can be divided into two parts.

One part involves continuing the original training.

The other part involves adding new training.

Kitazawa picked up his pen and first wrote down the list of students who would continue with the original training.

Kurama Yakumo learns illusion techniques very quickly, but she doesn't learn the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique as quickly.

The reason lies in her body.

Although he has recovered, he lacks the time and experience that others have had to train and build up their skills over a long period of time.

The Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique, or rather all Body Flicker Techniques, places very high demands on the body.

Choji Akimichi is still learning Super Push Hands.

There are still some of the Akimichi clan's secret techniques that he hasn't learned yet.

It's not that he can't learn it, it's that he's incapable of learning it.

Because the Akimichi clan's secret techniques rely too heavily on the body.

For example, techniques like the Multiplying Technique will produce completely different effects depending on one's physical attributes.

For Choji Akimichi, the most important thing is eating.

Rock Lee continues his physical training while solidifying his Konoha Dragon God status.

Tenten, like Kurama Yakumo, is learning the Konoha Body Flicker Technique, but her learning progress is much faster.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga are learning the World-Destroying Arrow.

But the World-Destroying Arrow is too difficult, and their learning time will not be short.

With that in mind, Kitazawa decided to teach them new archery techniques.

He called it the False Arc Arrow. Although it was not as powerful as the Spiral Arrow, it could be controlled in direction, making it more unpredictable for the enemy.

Simply put, it can turn corners, inspired by the Uchiha clan's shuriken technique.

Yamanaka Ino continued to study ninjutsu, specifically the art of telepathy.

Nara Shikamaru's Shadow Substitution Technique is still lacking, but his training remains unchanged.

Sakura Haruno is under the care of Kosuke Maruboshi; he doesn't need to worry about her.

Aburame Shino's parasite mutation experiment has made new progress, namely, she has cultivated a parasite with a certain degree of defensive ability.

However, the parasitic insects that can move freely underground have not yet succeeded.

Karin learns medical ninjutsu, while Kaguya Kimimaro learns Shikotsumyaku: Iron Wire Flower Dance.

While Kitazawa was combing his hair, Konan quietly walked up behind him.

She reached out and massaged his shoulders.

After finishing his review, Kitazawa changed to a different training schedule.

This article is about students who need to change their training content.

The first student was Ziyuan.

She first learned the finger-carving seal, and then the string of lamps array.

Kitazawa plans to teach her the sealing array and the fire-sealing seal during the summer vacation.

The sealing array is relatively easy. Ziyuan has a good foundation in sealing techniques and can learn an additional sealing fire seal.

Of course, most importantly, she has a system mission to learn five sealing techniques in a year.

Kitazawa could only make her work a little harder.

The second student was Uchiha Sasuke.

He has learned the Rasengan; next, he should learn the Yin Release: Rasengan.

The third student was naturally Naruto Uzumaki.

He should learn Yang Release: Rasengan next.

Once he learns it, he can use the combination technique Tai Chi Rasengan with Uchiha Sasuke.

Then Kitazawa will be able to complete another system task.

The fourth student is Kiba Inuzuka.

He had recently learned Earth Release: Earth Split Bullet, but Kitazawa had no intention of teaching him any new Earth Release ninjutsu.

Because he finally had a dog, namely Akamaru.

His summer vacation task was to raise dogs and, incidentally, learn the authentic secret techniques of the Inuzuka clan.

The fifth student is Bai.

He has already mastered Water Release: Water Formation Wall, and can learn Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

The sixth student was Tayuya.

She has already mastered the Magical Technique of Seeing the Netherworld, and Kitazawa's next plan for her is to learn the Magical Technique of the Fox's Mind and the Magical Technique of Not Here.

Both of these illusions are C-rank, belonging to low-level illusions.

She should learn it quickly.

The seventh student is Chino, who has just joined the class.

While further solidifying your Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, learn Water Release: Heaven's Cry.

Chino's current strength relies heavily on the illusions of the Blood Dragon Eye.

However, illusions don't always work, and when they fail, ninjutsu can be used.

Water Release: Heaven's Cry consumes little chakra and is difficult to defend against, making it very suitable for her.

Time passes slowly.

After Kitazawa finished writing, he put the two training sheets away.

He turned to look at Xiao Nan.

"Come and sit."

Kitazawa patted his thigh and said.

"Aren't you going to get a massage?"

Xiao Nan glanced at it and asked in a cool tone.

"You've been pressing for almost an hour, you don't need to anymore, come and rest for a bit."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Konan nodded.

She walked up to Kitazawa, tiptoed slightly, and sat down on his lap with her soft buttocks.

Kitazawa reached out his left hand and put it around her waist.

Xiao Nan raised her legs, brought them slightly together, and leaned her body against his chest.

Her gaze fell on his face, and she said nothing, simply watching him quietly.

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

Kitazawa thought for a moment, then found a topic and asked.

Given Xiao Nan's personality, if he doesn't initiate a conversation, the two of them could probably sit there all day without saying a word.

"Neither good nor bad, it went fairly smoothly."

Xiao Nan replied.

"So, the Sand Village has made some new moves?"

Kitazawa placed his right hand on Konan's legs and gently kneaded them.

"Ah."

Konan nodded and said, "Sunagakure has started to copy our propaganda."

"No wonder."

Kitazawa sniffed the faint fragrance and said, "This is indeed a troublesome matter."

"They are not as good as us."

Xiao Nan said calmly.

"We have a first-mover advantage."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "But if they learn everything, we won't be able to defeat them completely."

"Is there any way?"

Xiao Nan tilted her head and looked at him.

"There's no good solution."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Sunagakure is one of the five great villages, and its population and connections are greater than yours."

Xiao Nan bit her lip.

These propaganda methods were all Kitazawa's ideas, but Sunagakure used them, which made her somewhat unhappy.

"Although we can't completely defeat them, as long as we can maintain the advantage, we won't worry about them."

Kitazawa leaned forward, kissed her, and said, "How about this, I'll teach you a few more promotional methods."

"Thank you."

Xiao Nan paused slightly, then said.

"nothing."

Kitazawa chuckled and then reminded them, "You should also be wary of the Sand Village's excessive actions."

"Ah."

Xiao Nan nodded, but didn't seem to care.

Kitazawa then told her about some of the publicity methods or marketing techniques from his previous life.

Xiao Nan became increasingly surprised as she listened.

Now she has a good understanding of business.

Especially after she encountered many competitors, she even had someone investigate them.

However, what Kitazawa said is completely out of touch with the current market.

Xiao Nan didn't understand where he had come up with these methods and rules.

"It's already noon, let's stop here."

Kitazawa glanced at the clock on the wall and said.

"I prepared a bento box."

Xiao Nan snapped out of her daze and immediately said...

"You'd be perfect as a secretary."

Kitazawa reached out, pinched her chin, and asked, "Would you like to be my Hokage's secretary?"

Xiao Nan was startled, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore, let's eat."

Kitazawa slapped her thigh and said.

Xiao Nan silently stood up.

She glanced at Kitazawa and felt a pang of disappointment.

Although she longed to give him a positive answer, her reason told her that it was impossible.

"Tomorrow is summer vacation. You can go back to Xiao's organization and put the propaganda I just talked about into practice."

Kitazawa took the lunchbox and sat down on the sofa.

"Ah."

Xiao Nan sat opposite him and ate lunch with him.

In the afternoon, Kitazawa went to the Forest of Death to train.

He needs to hurry up and become stronger so he can bring Konan back to Konoha Village... cough cough, I mean, solve this big problem with the Akatsuki organization.

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

The team battle for the final exams has officially begun.

Last time the venue was a forest, this time it's lava.

Simply put, it involves preparing various footholds on a piece of lava, such as cylinders, trampolines, and waterbeds.

If you're not careful during battle, you can easily fall into the scalding lava.

Because it's a lava field, this team battle is relatively fast-paced, unlike the previous ones where you could hide everywhere in the forest.

In less than half a day, the five team battles came to an end.

Final exams are over, and summer vacation has officially begun.

This summer vacation was similar to previous summer vacations for Kitazawa.

While instructing the students in the genius class, he also practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Wood Release: Ranking Technique himself.

The only difference is that this summer vacation is longer, lasting about 45 days, from July 15th to September 1st.

Kitazawa estimated that he could learn the Wood Release: Ranking Technique before the start of the school year.

However, it is estimated that the Flying Thunder God Technique will still take two or three months to master.

……

After August arrived, the weather in Konoha Village became hot.

But Sunagakure is different; every month of the year is roughly the same as August in Konoha.

After returning to Sunagakure from the metropolis of the Land of Wind, Yura went straight to the Kazekage's office.

"How did Amegakure come up with these propaganda methods?"

Luo Sha looked at the documents in his hand, frowned, and asked.

"I don't know. I've asked many famous merchants in the Kingdom of Wind, and they're seeing it for the first time too."

Yura shook his head and said, "They all praised these promotional methods and said they couldn't think of any better ones."

"Can you find this person?"

Luo Sha raised his head, looked at him, and asked.

"It's hard."

Yura said with a troubled expression, "All the ninjas we sent to Amegakure have disappeared without a trace."

"No, not to Amegakure."

Luo Sha put down the documents and said, "What I mean is to investigate this group of merchants who sell water to Amegakure."

"Lord Kazekage's insight is brilliant!"

Yura paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly.

Their attention had been focused on Amegakure, but they had forgotten about the merchants who helped Amegakure do business.

The main reason is that they still have the traditional ninja mindset and care more about the powerful Hanzo.

"This person can come up with so many unique publicity methods; he's definitely not a ninja."

Rasa smiled faintly and said, "As long as we capture him or kill him, Amegakure will lose a great help."

"I'll send someone to investigate right now!"

Yura immediately said.

"Go down."

Luo Sha waved his hand and said.

After Yura left, he picked up another document.

As Luo Sha watched, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This document records the income of Sunagakure Village since it started its water business.

That was quite a lot, more than ten times what he earned as a gold miner.

And this is even with them occupying only a small portion of the market.

Rasa targeted Amegakure because he wanted to seize the entire market.

By then, he was even confident that he could make Sunagakure no longer dependent on funding from the Land of Wind.

After reading the documents, Luo Sha put them down.

Suddenly he remembered something, rummaged through his desk, and found the information he needed.

The information in the document can be summarized in one sentence.

"This week, Gaara was attacked nine times, and his counterattack resulted in the deaths of five ninjas."

Luo Sha couldn't help but shake his head.

Gaara is his son and also the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure. The One-Tailed Shukaku resides within him.

Jinchuriki are the strongest weapons of Sunagakure.

To test his stability, Rasa had been sending assassins to kill Gaara ever since he was four years old.

When he was six years old, he sent my uncle Yashamaru, who was also my cousin, to assassinate him.

Gaara killed Yashamaru, which caused him to lose control and lead to Shukaku going berserk.

From that moment on, Rasa considered him a failure.

Two weeks passed quickly.

Kazekage office.

Luo Sha clenched his fists instinctively.

Although Sunagakure followed Amegakure's lead, they were always one step behind.

Furthermore, Amegakure has come up with new tricks, making the situation in Sunagakure even worse.

Besides, there is another reason.

Seeing how profitable their water business was, other merchants from the Land of Wind couldn't sit still and joined in one after another.

After all, businessmen are driven by profit.

In Luo Sha's view, these merchants were even more troublesome than Amegakure.

Because he couldn't take action against these merchants, as they were all employers or potential employers of Sunagakure.

Furthermore, they have a good relationship with the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Wind.

Fortunately, none of them were ninjas, so they couldn't compete with them in terms of cost; at most, they would only get a small share.

The key is still Amegakure.

If it weren't for the fear that Hanzo and other ninja villages would take advantage of the situation, Rasa would have already led his men to teach Amegakure a lesson.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Luo Sha looked up, saw Yura, and asked, "Have you found out anything from the investigation?"

"We didn't find the person who provided the publicity method, but we had an unexpected bonus."

Yura took a deep breath and said, "We've found the ninja who was in charge of transporting water to Amegakure. He's Juzo Biwa."

"Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Luo Sha stood up immediately.

"Not bad!"

Yura stated with absolute certainty, "Our ninjas saw it with their own eyes; he was also carrying the Broken Sword, the Executioner's Blade!"

"very good!"

A smile appeared on Luo Sha's face. "Our chance has come!"

They now had a plausible excuse to take action.

Because it is only natural for ninja villages to purge rogue ninjas.

In other words, Kirigakure could target Juzo Biwa.

If Hanzo were to stop it, it would be that he and Amegakure would be violating the rules of the major ninja villages.

Of course, if Hanzo really wanted to start a war, Sunagakure wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Sunagakure will still face opportunistic attacks from other ninja villages.

However, this only applies to Sunagakure and Amegakure.

And now he has joined Kirigakure.

Rasa plans to cooperate with Kirigakure and take advantage of the opportunity to kill Juzo Biwa to sabotage Amegakure's business.

Would Amegakure dare to attack Sunagakure and Kirigakure?
Rasa felt that Hanzo definitely wouldn't dare.

These are two of the five great ninja villages.

If it were Konoha or Kumogakure, they would hesitate for a long time before declaring war on the two major ninja villages at once.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Hanzo would dare to declare war on them.

With the strength of Sunagakure and Kirigakure, dealing with Amegakure would be a simple matter, wouldn't it?
All they need to do is eliminate the resistance from Amegakure as quickly as possible.

In that case, other ninja villages won't have time to take advantage of the situation.

"Send someone to Wuyin Village immediately."

Without hesitation, Rasa said, "Tell the Fifth Mizukage that our Sunagakure Village wants to cooperate with them."

He was well aware of the current situation in Kirigakure.

Having just emerged from the Blood Mist Village, they were even poorer than the Hidden Sand Village.

If there's an opportunity to make money, Kirigakure won't refuse it.

　10,000 words, five chapters combined. I originally planned to work overtime to finish it today, but it's too difficult. As I get into the later stages, writing 10,000 words a day is getting slower and slower, extremely difficult and painful. I hope to finish it before the Lunar New Year. I've been writing 10,000 words a day for six months now, and I feel completely drained. I probably won't be able to update until midnight tonight, so I'll update during the day tomorrow.
