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

Chapter 381 The Death of Pipa Juzo, the Beginning of War (5 chapters combined into one)
Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Office.

Mei Terumi sat at the Mizukage's desk with her arms crossed, lost in thought.

Before her lay a letter from Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure.

"Lord Mizukage, I have arranged for the envoy from Sunagakure to rest, and I have also notified Zabuza and the others to come for a meeting."

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Qing walked in.

"Ah."

Mei Terumi responded with a sound of agreement, but didn't say anything more.

Not long after, Zabuza Momochi, Chojuro, Suigetsu Hozuki, and others entered the Mizukage's office.

Mei Terumi glanced at them and realized that they were already among the best of the younger generation in Kirigakure.

She sighed inwardly; Kirigakure was truly in a period of transition.

Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu are the last hope.

That's why she called them to the meeting; she wanted to train them in advance.

Besides Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu, there were also elite Jonin like Ao and Zabuza Momochi.

They can be considered the pillars of Kirigakure, but there are far too few such pillars.

Especially compared to Konoha Village, it appears quite desolate.

Mei Terumi couldn't help but think that if Kitazawa were in Kirigakure, Kirigakure would only need three years to catch up with Konoha.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

“You should all take a look at this letter.”

Mei Terumi picked up the letter from the table and handed it to Ao.

Qing glanced at it and couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".

After reading it, he passed it on to Zabuza Momochi.

"Would Luo Sha really be so kind?"

Zabuza Momochi asked bluntly.

"Let's discuss it together later."

Mei Terumi shook her head and reminded him.

Zabuza Momochi didn't ask any further questions after hearing this.

Soon, everyone had finished reading Luo Sha's letter.

The letter contained very little information.

The Sand Village unexpectedly discovered the location of Kirigakure's rogue ninja, Juzo Biwa.

If Kirigakure is willing, Sunagakure can help Kirigakure eliminate him.

"What do you think?"

Mei Terumi casually placed the letter on the Mizukage's desk.

"There must be something fishy about this!"

Qing thought for a moment and then said.

"With the strength of Sunagakure, secretly eliminating Juzo Biwa would not be a problem."

Zabuza Momochi snorted coldly and said, "But he deliberately came to us; he must have something on his mind!"

What are your thoughts?

Mei Terumi looked at Chojuro and Suigetsu Hozuki.

“I…I think Senior Ao and Senior Zabuza are right.”

Chojuro said with a nervous expression.

"Juzo Biwa has the Broken Sword, the Executioner's Blade, which must be retrieved!"

Hozuki Suigetsu said without hesitation, "We've already lost two swords, we can't afford to lose the Broken Sword, the Executioner's Blade!"

Mei Terumi couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

Chojuro is introverted and lacks assertiveness, while Hozuki Suigetsu is obsessed with retrieving the seven ninja swords.

Neither of these answers was what she wanted to see.

I just hope they can both become more mature in the future.

Otherwise, the future of Kirigakure would be in grave danger.

"Although the Broken Blade - the Executioner's Blade is very important to Kirigakure, the village cannot afford to be damaged in its current state."

Mei Terumi said slowly.

"Should we give up the Broken Blade - the Decapitation Blade?"

Hozuki Suigetsu immediately showed an expression of unwillingness.

"I'm taking a squad of ANBU to Sunagakure."

Zabuza Momochi said confidently, "Give me enough time, and I will definitely be able to find Juzo Biwa's location."

"No, there's no rush."

Mei Terumi shook her head and said, "Ao, go and investigate this matter. I need to know the whole story."

"Why bother?"

Zabuza Momochi frowned and asked.

"The Hidden Mist Village needs to proceed with caution now."

Mei Terumi glanced at him and said.

"I will send people to Sunagakure to investigate right now."

Qing bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Mei Terumi reached out and rubbed her temples.

Apart from Qing, there wasn't a single reliable one.

Zabuza Momochi was the strongest, but he was too aggressive, and this style of doing things was not suitable for Kirigakure during its recovery period.

But the other Jonin... let's not talk about them.

"You guys go down first."

Mei Terumi waved her hand and said.

Zabuza Momochi and the others turned and left.

"Have you found the bubble?"

Mei Terumi asked the air.

"not yet."

A Hidden Mist Village ANBU ninja pushed open the door and walked in.

"Find him as soon as possible."

Mei Terumi nodded and said.

Kirigakure has two tailed beasts, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki is Yagura Karatachi.

After relinquishing his position as Miyazaki, he entered retirement.

But no matter what, he's still in Kirigakure, and he can intervene promptly if anything happens there.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki is Bubbles; he is no longer in Kirigakure, or more accurately, he has become a rogue ninja.

The reason for his defection was rather dramatic.

Bubbles hates his identity as a Jinchūriki.

His teacher, out of good intentions, researched a way to remove the Tailed Beasts while the Jinchuriki could still live.

But instead of telling Bubble, he directly wanted to help him extract the Six-Tails.

The consensus in the ninja world is that once a Jinchuriki extracts a Tailed Beast, the Jinchuriki will die.

Bubble mistakenly believed that his teacher was going to kill him, so he killed his teacher in return and defected from Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi sought out Bubble in the hope of clearing up the misunderstanding and getting him back to Kirigakure.

After all, Kirigakure desperately needs a Jinchūriki to fight alongside them right now.

Summer vacation ended quickly amidst training.

On September 1st, the new semester officially began for the gifted program.

Kitazawa once again entrusted the registration to Iruka Umino.

He arrived at the Death Forest early in the morning.

Kitazawa stood still and activated the Thousand Hands Chakra Mode and the Yang Release Chakra Mode.

He felt the surging chakra within him and took a deep breath.

Shadow Clone Technique!
Kitazawa first created a shadow clone, then formed hand seals.

Wood Release: Ranking Technique!

The ground beneath Kitazawa's feet trembled instantly.

A wooden wall rose up around him.

The circular walls quickly closed in, completely enveloping him.

Finally, a shield shaped like a fanged demon face appeared in the open space.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
Kitazawa's shadow clone formed hand seals.

The chakra underwent a nature transformation, becoming a sharp wind.

He raised his hand, and the wind swirled and expanded in his hand.

Kitazawa's shadow clone smashed down directly at the wooden shield in front of him.

In an instant, a piercing yet muffled sound rang out.

Countless tiny wind blades, like locusts, frantically tore at the wooden shield.

The wooden shield trembled.

Its interior absorbed this terrifying wind-style chakra and spread it outwards.

Boom!
Layer upon layer of air currents surged into the sky, transforming into a gale.

The nearby flowers, plants, and trees were all damaged and blown into the air, forming a very wide impact zone.

A moment later, all the noise disappeared.

The wooden shield stood unharmed and intact.

Kitazawa dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique.

The pain came from his right arm, causing him to frown slightly.

If he weren't testing the defensive capabilities of Wood Release: Ranking Technique, he wouldn't have bothered using Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Fortunately, he had the Yin Seal, and being in Yang Release Chakra Mode, the pain quickly subsided.

Kitazawa clapped his hands together and released the Wood Release: Ranking Technique.

He looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

No wonder Hashirama Senju's Wood Release: The Rank of the Ranks technique could withstand Madara Uchiha's combined Susanoo and Nine-Tails' armor.

In the entire ninja world, there are very few ninjutsu that can surpass Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in terms of attack power.

Kitazawa estimates that only Onoki's Dust Release and Nagato's Rinnegan could achieve this.

In short, after mastering the Wood Release: Ranking Technique, one's sense of security is at its peak.

Once he masters the Flying Thunder God Technique, his mobility will become the best in the ninja world.

If he were to learn Sage Mode or Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, his attack power would reach the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Unless an enemy comes from the sky, he can roam freely in the ninja world.

Wood Escape·The Tree Realm is born!

Kitazawa forms a hand seal.

The trees that were destroyed by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken have grown back.

If it were anywhere else, Kitazawa could have simply left.

But this is the Death Forest of Konoha Village, it needs to be repaired.

After Kitazawa surveyed the area and confirmed that everything was in order, he headed towards Konoha Village.

Walking down the street, he thought for a moment and then went to the Hokage's office.

Learning Wood Release: Ranking Technique is quite an achievement; I can tell Tsunade about it.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa walked into the Hokage's office.

Why did you come to see me so early today?

Tsunade put down the documents in her hand and said, "I haven't even finished reading the first document."

"I have some good news to share with you."

Kitazawa walked around the Hokage's desk and stopped beside her.

He looked down at Tsunade's collar.

Her snow-white, plump skin looked as if it had been soaked in milk, making it impossible for him to look away.

"What good news?"

Tsunade looked up and noticed him glancing around erratically.

But she was already used to it, so she didn't say anything and generously let him see.

Only Kitazawa dared to stand in this position; everyone else was standing outside the Hokage's desk, at the center of the Hokage's office.

"I have learned the Wood Release: Ranking Technique."

Kitazawa said with a light laugh.

Tsunade immediately showed a surprised expression.

Although she doesn't know Wood Release, she is very knowledgeable about Wood Release ninjutsu.

Wood Release: Ranking Technique is definitely a high-level Wood Release technique.

With the addition of Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees and Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, Kitazawa has mastered three advanced Wood Release techniques.

Tsunade suspects that there is no ninja in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can defeat him, including Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group.

But without a doubt, this is indeed good news, and incredibly good news.

"Why don't you become Hokage right now?"

Tsunade tugged at her collar as she spoke.

Kitazawa suddenly felt a white light before his eyes.

You actually resorted to such despicable means?
Kitazawa's eyes widened, and he wanted to scold her, but he didn't waste time and openly admired her.

"It's boring."

Seeing that Kitazawa remained unmoved, Tsunade pursed her lips, tugged at her collar to cover up the excess snow scene.

"Tsunade-sensei, it's been two years, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.

"Not two years."

Tsunade corrected her, saying, "Half a year has already passed, so there's only a year and a half left."

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

Kitazawa asked with a helpless expression.

"I remember very clearly the agonizing days of going to work."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Alright, if you don't have anything else to say, don't bother me while I'm working."

"Tsunade-sensei."

Kitazawa bent down, reached out, and hugged her.

"doing what?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and asked.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you."

Kitazawa felt the soft and sexy body in his arms and said with a smile.

"Holding me so tightly, I think you're just trying to take advantage of me."

Tsunade immediately guessed his thoughts.

"Where is it?"

Kitazawa released his hand and said, "I'm leaving now, goodbye."

He turned and walked out.

Tsunade bit her lip, somewhat surprised.

Was it really just a hug this time?

Kitazawa returned to the Dark Side base.

He was thinking about where to do his assignments for the midterm exams this semester.

Actually, the mission was secondary; what he wanted to do was to recruit a student to make up seven teams, which would consist of the top twenty-one students in the genius class.

"Kitazawa".

When Xiao Nan saw him, she instinctively stood up.

During summer vacation, she returned to the Akatsuki organization and promoted the water business according to the methods taught by Kitazawa.

After staying for half a month and confirming that the results were good, she returned to Konoha Village.

Good morning, Xiao Nan.

Kitazawa walked up to her and hugged her.

He reached out and patted her buttocks, feeling a plump sensation before letting go of her.

"Ah."

Xiao Nan responded softly.

Kitazawa smiled and walked to his desk.

He casually took out a pen and paper and recalled the plot of the original work.

When it comes to geniuses of Naruto and others' generation, the first person he thinks of is Toneri Otsutsuki.

As a descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, his talent is beyond doubt.

But he can be considered a complete villain.

Not only did she steal Hanabi Hyuga's Byakugan, but she also wanted to marry Hinata Hyuga and even planned to destroy the ninja world.

Kitazawa shook his head and continued to ponder.

The geniuses who impressed him most all came from the five major villages.

For example, characters like Gaara, Kurotsuchi, Deidara, and Darui.

But none of these options would allow them to join Konoha Village and become students in the genius class.

Deidara might have a slight chance, provided he subdues the Akatsuki organization.

Kitazawa let out a soft "hmm".

Maybe Gaara could be one too.

After all, he's having a really tough time right now.

No matter how miserable he was, he was still a Jinchūriki of Sunagakure.

Furthermore, since Rasa is still alive, it's impossible to let him come to Konoha Village.

Unless there's a Konoha collapse plan like in the original work.

Once Konoha Village becomes an ally of Kirigakure Village, Gaara and his siblings can come over.

Just as Kitazawa was worrying, a small meeting was held again in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

“Juzo Biwa joined Amegakure, while Sunagakure and Amegakure have business rivalries.”

Aobo reported the results of his investigation, "I suspect that Rasa's purpose is to use our name to attack Amegakure."

“If that’s the case, we can’t let Luo Sha off so easily; he must pay a fair price.”

Zabuza Momochi immediately said.

Is the water business really that profitable?

Mei Terumi's attention is focused on the water business.

"I don't know."

Ao shook his head and said, "As ninjas, we know very little about business."

"The fact that the water trade is something that Sunagakure and Amegakure are fighting over so fiercely must mean that a lot of money is involved."

Mei Terumi tapped her desk and said, "We can join in too."

Kirigakure lacks everything, but it doesn't lack water-style ninjas.

The only pity is that seawater cannot be used as drinking water; otherwise, they would be even more suited to the water business.

"this……?"

A hesitant expression appeared on Qing's face.

"Doing business is against the rules of us ninjas."

Zabuza Momochi frowned and said.

He only enjoys killing; he doesn't like doing business.

"If Sunagakure and Amegakure can do it, then Kirigakure can do it too."

Mei Terumi said calmly, "And we don't need to put in much effort; we can just cooperate with Sunagakure."

The Land of Wind is undoubtedly the most water-scarce.

Even if Kirigakure were to engage in the water trade, it would have to sell to the Land of Wind, which would create competition with Sunagakure and Amegakure, causing considerable trouble.

Why not contribute some manpower and cooperate with Sunagakure to earn a share of the profits? It would be much easier and less stressful.

"Qing, you should set off today to meet with Luo Sha and discuss cooperation."

Mei Terumi said with a faint smile, "He's probably getting impatient after waiting for half a month."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Qing immediately responded.

"I'll write down the specifics of how to talk to him. You can refer to the content above when you talk to him."

Terumi pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Three days later, at the Kazekage Building in Sunagakure.

"Kazekage-sama."

Yura began, "According to information from the Anbu, Ao and the others will be arriving at Sunagakure soon."

"Is it finally here?"

Luo Sha shook his head and said, "It seems they have investigated our background thoroughly."

The reason he didn't write it clearly in the letter was that he wanted to try and deceive Kirigakure.

But it seems that the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was not fooled.

If we talk about it now, Sunagakure will have to pay a considerable price.

However, if we can truly dominate the water business market in the Land of Wind, then it will be worthwhile.

"Go and greet him."

Luo Sha waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

Yura bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Luo Sha sat in the Fengying office chair, lost in thought.

A dozen minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Fengying, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Qing stretched out her hand and said.

"Ah."

Luo Sha shook hands with him and asked, "What does your village intend to do with Pipa Juzo?"

“Naturally, we should capture him and bring him back to Kirigakure.”

Qing said without hesitation.

“Now that Juzo Biwa has joined Amegakure, you should be very familiar with Hanzo. He is not a kind person.”

Luo Sha told the truth.

"But Lord Kazekage is so enthusiastic not because of Juzo Biwa, but because of the water business."

Once Aomi Rasa had told the truth, she stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"What are your thoughts, Lord Mizukage?"

Luo Sha asked, his expression unchanged.

"Cooperation."

Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Regarding the cooperation in the water business."

"This is impossible!"

Standing behind Rasa, Yura couldn't help but say something.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Ao smiled and said, "The Hidden Mist Village has many Water Release ninjas, which can save you a lot of costs."

"I can hire you."

Luo Sha immediately said.

"Lord Fengying, this is not sincere enough."

Ao shook his head and said, "Kirigakure and Sunagakure are both among the Five Great Villages, with equal status. We want to divide them up." "Divide them up?"

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much?"

"Four percent."

Qing held up four fingers.

"Clearly, your sincerity is insufficient. You only provided water-style ninjas, which is not enough to get 40%."

Rasa was not angry and said slowly, "In the water trade, the work done by our Sunagakure Village far surpasses that of you."

"Not only water-style ninjas, but we also provided a plausible excuse for Sunagakure to attack Amegakure."

Qing smiled and said.

"But that still doesn't reach 40%."

Luo Sha refused to speak.

"You know Hanzo's strength."

After a moment's thought, Ao said, "If Sunagakure and Amegakure get bogged down in war, other ninja villages will be unable to resist getting involved."

"What do you want to say?"

Luo Sha asked with a serious expression.

“Our Hidden Mist Village can support your Hidden Sand Village, for example, by announcing an alliance to the public.”

Ao replied, "In that case, the other three ninja villages will not act rashly."

The secret passage of Luosha is indeed not easy to fool.

All of his intentions have already been guessed by Ao, or rather, by Terumi Mei.

"At most 20%."

Luo Sha said decisively, "If it doesn't work out, you can leave."

Qing immediately frowned.

Two percent is exactly the bottom line for Hidden Mist Village.

After all, they didn't really contribute anything; they only sent some water-style ninjas to help transport water.

In wars like the one against Amegakure, Sunagakure would naturally participate.

At most, Kirigakure can only help deter other ninja villages and buy time for Sunagakure.

"Okay, happy working together."

Qing finally agreed.

"I've located the location of the Loquat Ten Masters, and we can set off tomorrow."

Rasa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately said, "Once we've dealt with Pipa Juzo, we'll send a notification to the ninja world."

Having a legitimate reason for your actions is important, no matter where you are.

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sun Village targeted the Hidden Rain Village in order to eliminate the rogue ninja, Juzo Biwa.

Even if Hanzo were to jump out and make accusations, he wouldn't be in the right.

"can."

Qing paused for a moment, then said, "But let's sign the alliance agreement first today."

"no problem."

Luo Sha readily agreed.

He never intended to start a war against Amegakure; his goal was to drive Amegakure out.

They will then monopolize the water business, earning a continuous stream of money for Sunagakure.

a new day.

Led by Rasa, a group of Jonin flew straight towards the Amegakure's base in the Land of Wind.

This base is located in the center of the transportation pipeline and usually has two tasks.

One is to protect the transportation pipelines, ensuring the safety of the water.

The other one was to take his summoned beast out to sell drinking water.

There was only one Akatsuki member at the base, and that was Juzo Biwa.

Normally, the Akatsuki organization operates in pairs.

However, the task of transporting water would take a long time, and the Akatsuki organization was short of people, so they only assigned one person.

The rest were all ninjas from Amegakure who were skilled in water-style ninjutsu.

Although White Zetsu discovered Rasa and the others, it was too late.

You can't blame White Zetsu, since Rasa and the others came from the air.

After a fierce battle, Juzo Biwa died, and the broken sword, the Executioner's Blade, was retrieved by Ao.

Ao didn't actually want to kill Hibiki Juzo, but his resistance was too fierce, and with no way to hold back, he had no choice but to kill him.

After eliminating all the ninjas from Amegakure in their base, Rasa led his men to destroy all the transport pipelines.

Half a day later.

Rain Village in the Land of Rain.

Pain learned of Juzo Biwa's sacrifice through White Zetsu.

He didn't actually care about the lives or deaths of the Akatsuki members.

After all, Kakuzu had already sold his teammates' heads to the black market several times.

But he was interested in the water business.

Because the money earned from the water business can significantly advance the start time of the Eye of the Moon project.

Now that it has been destroyed by Sunagakure and Kirigakure, although the silver jewelry business still exists, it will definitely not be as fast as before, since one of them is gone.

"Go and call Xiao Nan back."

Pain said in a detached tone.

With his strength, he could easily kill Luo Sha and Qing.

However, this would completely expose the existence of the Akatsuki organization, making them a target of public criticism and thus affecting the Eye of the Moon Project.

After much deliberation, Pain decided he should ask Konan for her opinion.

After all, she was in charge of both the silver jewelry and water businesses.

Without her ideas, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't have gone into business.

As for convening a meeting with the other members of Akatsuki, that's unnecessary.

The relationships between Akatsuki members were no different from those between enemies.

When Juzo Biwa died, the other members would only think he was too weak, instead of thinking about avenging him.

Two days later, Pain met Konan.

Did White Zetsu tell you?

Pain looked at her and asked.

"Ah."

Xiao Nan nodded and said.

"Do you have any idea?"

Pain said calmly, "I don't want this to affect our Eye of the Moon project."

"We're abandoning the transport pipelines and relying primarily on spirit beasts for transportation."

Konan said slowly, "At the same time, we will destroy Sunagakure's transportation pipelines."

"why?"

Pain asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The water business is so profitable, we certainly can't give it up, but because of the Eye of the Moon Plan, it's not good to directly start a war with the two major ninja villages."

Xiao Nan replied, "The best way is to fight a protracted war."

"Too troublesome."

Pain thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, the water business will be greatly affected by the protracted war."

"There are ways to make money in chaotic times. It's both a risk and an opportunity. We can raise the price of water."

Konan said calmly, "We can also control the ninjas of Sunagakure and cooperate with them to raise the price of water again."

"...?"

Pain felt like he didn't understand anything at all.

At the same time, he found that Xiao Nan had become extremely unfamiliar, completely different from before.

How do we handle the casualties among the Amegakure ninja?

Pain asked again.

"Use White Zetsu and puppets as disguises."

Xiao Nan suggested, "I think this matter can be handled by Scorpion."

Although Sasori was Chiyo's grandson from Sunagakure, he killed the Third Kazekage, so he was destined never to return.

Moreover, he didn't want to go back. In the Akatsuki organization, he could pursue his puppet and eternity.

"You handle it."

Pain nodded and said.

Konoha Village Anbu Base.

Kitazawa received the intelligence the following day.

In short, the intelligence revealed that Sunagakure and Kirigakure collaborated to kill Kirigakure's rogue ninja, Juzo Biwa.

Not only him, but also Iwagakure and Kumogakure received the intelligence.

After all, it was information jointly released by Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village had some doubts, but they didn't pay much attention to them.

Because in their view, Hanzo had no choice but to suffer this loss.

Unless he's gone mad and wants to pit Amegakure against Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Only Kitazawa knew that the current Amegakure was backed by the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki organization had the power to destroy both Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

But would Juzo take action over a loquat?

Kitazawa thought it wouldn't happen.

The Akatsuki organization has always had only one goal: the Eye of the Moon Project.

All members are merely expendable resources for Project Eye of the Moon; once they die, they can be recruited again.

If the Akatsuki were to destroy Sunagakure and Kirigakure, it would alert other ninja villages and could even trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Because the five great ninja villages would not allow such a powerful and dangerous organization to exist.

However, these are all just speculations.

Fortunately, Kitazawa had a mole within the Akatsuki organization, namely Konan.

You can ask her when she gets back.

Kitazawa personally hoped to delay the Fourth Shinobi World War for two or three years.

Because he is not invincible yet.

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then went to the Hokage's office.

"What are your thoughts on the matter of Sunagakure and Kirigakure?"

Upon seeing him, Tsunade asked him directly.

"It shouldn't escalate to the point of a large-scale war."

Kitazawa guessed.

"I think so too."

Tsunade agreed, saying, "This is a good opportunity to take a look at the mysterious Akatsuki organization."

Kitazawa had previously told her that Hanzo was dead and that the Akatsuki organization was now in control of Amegakure.

"Have your secret agents keep an eye on them, and notify me immediately if anything unusual happens."

Tsunade didn't take this matter particularly seriously.

She was more interested in the Xiao organization.

After all, Konoha Village is incredibly strong now, so there's no need to worry too much.

"I see."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

Two days later, Konan finally returned to Konoha Village.

"I've heard about the actions of Sunagakure and Kirigakure. How is the Akatsuki organization doing?"

Bei Ze cut to the chase and asked the question.

Konan didn't hide anything and told Xiaozhi about the organization's countermeasures.

Although she didn't directly say Scorpion's name.

"It seems you've learned very well."

After listening, Kitazawa couldn't help but praise him.

In particular, the saying "There are ways to make money in chaotic times" already has the flavor of profiting from war.

At the same time, he also confirmed his conjecture.

The Akatsuki organization indeed had no intention of starting the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It seems that the accumulation is still insufficient.

However, because of his intervention, it should be much earlier than in the original work.

"But this tug-of-war is not a solution in the end."

Kitazawa blinked and said, "Once Rasa realizes the problem, he will definitely escalate the war."

"Let's stall for now."

Konan hesitated for two seconds, then said, half-jokingly, "Once we have enough money, we can ask other ninja villages for help."

How long are you planning to drag this out?

Kitazawa, with a calm expression, asked the question that concerned him most.

"do not know."

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "It would be best if it could last for one or two years."

Kitazawa felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

Although one or two years is a bit short, it's enough.

However, compared to before, we can't be as leisurely; we need to speed up the progress of system tasks.

In addition, you need to trigger more critical system tasks, such as system tasks related to Sage Mode.

"If you encounter any danger, you can ask me for help."

Kitazawa reached out and touched her face, saying...

Xiao Nan felt a pang of emotion, a mixture of gratitude and guilt.

She told Kitazawa some necessary lies for the sake of the Akatsuki organization.

"You're back so early?"

Kitazawa asked again.

"The other members of Akatsuki will take care of this matter."

Xiao Nan replied.

"Alright."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "You'd be safer staying in Konoha."

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything more.

Kitazawa looked at her, and suddenly a thought struck him.

Once the Eye of the Moon Project is launched, the Akatsuki will capture Jinchuriki everywhere and extract the Tailed Beasts.

Under normal circumstances, if the tailed beast is extracted, the jinchūriki will die.

However, the teacher of Urabozu, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, once researched a way to keep the Jinchuriki alive even after the Tailed Beast was extracted.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

Is it possible to obtain this method?
Judging from the situation in the original work, this method is most likely in the hands of Kirigakure.

If you ask directly, you most likely won't get it.

Even if we manage to get it, Kirigakure will definitely impose many conditions.

So, should we start with the bubble?

Kitazawa probably knows where the bubble is, and that it's related to the Tsuchigumo clan.

The Earth Spider clan possesses a forbidden technique called "Raging Hair Heaven".

At its own expense, it can absorb natural energy and then become a super bomb, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

Because of this forbidden technique, the Earth Spider clan has become sparsely populated and is on the verge of extinction.

But now only four people remain.

The clan chief, Yi-no-Yo-ja, his granddaughter Hotaru, a servant named Dunbei, and a traitor named Shirou.

Konoha Village and the Tsuchigumo clan once had a trade relationship.

The terms of the deal were that the Tsuchigumo clan would henceforth be banned from using the "Rage of the Heavens" technique, and Konoha would provide protection for the Tsuchigumo clan.

In the original work, Hotaru wanted to better control forbidden techniques, so she tried to become a student of Hozumi.

Bai Lang is the classic villain. In order to inherit the secret technique, he captured Ying and killed the clan leader, Yi Zhi Xing Zhe.

With the help of Naruto Uzumaki, Homura, and others, Hotaru finally defeated Shiranami.

After a series of events, Bubble decides to take Hotaru as his student.

As they bid farewell to Naruto and the others and embarked on a new life, Pain attacked and captured Uta.

As for Hotaru, although she survived, there was no further development in the story.

Kitazawa felt he could capitalize on the bubble and make a deal with Terumi Mei.

If Ying has enough talent, she can attend the gifted class.

The gifted class was just one student short.

Moreover, that forbidden technique of "Angry Heaven" is quite interesting; it can actually absorb natural energy.

Kitazawa is now eager to trigger the system quests related to Sage Mode.

Perhaps this forbidden technique can work.

As for bringing the Six-Tails back to Konoha, that's unnecessary.

It would be better to wait until he becomes invincible before going to the Akatsuki to steal the Tailed Beasts, which would give us a legitimate reason to do so.

"You should go and rest first."

Kitazawa patted Minami's head and said.

"Ah."

Xiao Nan turned and left.

After watching her leave, Kitazawa headed towards the Hokage Building.

But it wasn't to see Tsunade, it was to see Itachi Uchiha.

He planned to entrust the task of finding the bubble to him.

Hokage Secretariat.

Kitazawa knocked on the door and went inside.

"Lord Kitazawa."

Itachi Uchiha immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Itachi, there's something I need you to do."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"You say."

Itachi Uchiha's spirits lifted.

After all, Kitazawa hadn't contacted him for quite some time.

“There is a rogue ninja in Kirigakure named Homo.”

Kitazawa stated directly, "According to information from the Anbu, they have appeared near the Tsuchigumo clan."

"That Earth Spider clan possessing forbidden techniques?"

After a moment's thought, Itachi Uchiha asked.

The Tsuchigumo clan was somewhat famous during the Third Shinobi World War, so he had heard of them.

"good."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "While you're at it, could you also help me investigate a Tsuchigumo clan ninja named Shirami?"

"Ok."

Itachi Uchiha agreed without hesitation.

[Current Mission: Defeat the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utsugi.]

[Mission Reward: 20% White Eye Purity.]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa was overjoyed.

He already has 80% white eye purity, and with this additional 20%, he will be able to reach 100% white eye purity.

Because of this Byakugan purity, he gained two abilities: Byakugan - Puppet Control and Byakugan - Intimidation.

Once the Byakugan reaches 100% purity, will it be upgraded to the Tenseigan? Or will it gain new abilities?

Kitazawa felt the latter possibility was more likely.

In the original work, there are two ways to advance the Tenseigan.

One type is where a massive number of Byakugan eyes converge into a single large Tenseigan.

There is a giant Tenseigan on the moon, but it is too big to fit in a human eye socket and can only be used as a ninja tool.

Another type is the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan combined with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

In the original work, after Otsutsuki Toneri installed Hyuga Hanabi's Byakugan, it automatically turned into Tenseigan.

However, only 10% of Kitazawa's bloodline is from the Otsutsuki clan.

Although the intensity of his Byakugan far exceeds that of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

After finishing his business, Kitazawa returned to the Ninja Academy.

Although Amegakure and Sunagakure clashed, it had absolutely no impact on Konoha, let alone the Ninja Academy.

The gifted students are training as usual.

Kitazawa found a place and began practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although there was still some time before the Eye of the Moon project was completed, he felt a sense of urgency.

He would feel much safer if he had the Flying Thunder God Technique.

October has arrived.

The office of the Dark Guard base.

Kitazawa finished reading the documents in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This document contains information about the war between Amegakure and Sunagakure.

Overall, it was lukewarm at best.

The person in charge of Amegakure is Sasori.

Of course, neither Sunagakure nor Konoha knew that it was Sasori, because he was hiding inside the puppet Hiruko, and no one knew his true identity.

Kitazawa sensed that the battle between Amegakure and Sunagakure was intense, but had not yielded any significant results.

Combined with what Konan said earlier about Akatsuki's strategy, it's clear that Sasori used his mind control to manipulate Yura, making Sunagakure play along with their act.

Kitazawa casually put away the documents and then pondered the matter of the genius class.

For the final exams this semester, he plans to switch from team competitions to individual competitions.

Firstly, it had been a long time since there had been individual matches, and secondly, Shion and Chino were to participate in the placement matches.

However, there are still two months until the final exams, so the most urgent task now is the midterm exams.

Kitazawa plans to target Shiranami of the Tsuchigumo clan for this mission.

The question of who to take with us hasn't been decided yet.

Last time, I brought Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Haku.

This time it definitely needs to be changed.

Kitazawa suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

This mission will most likely encounter bubbles again.

Why don't we call Tsunade over?
After all, she rarely had the opportunity to go out after becoming Hokage.

Uta, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, is undoubtedly worth the trip.

With that in mind, Kitazawa decided to bring along Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Karin.

Especially Uzumaki Naruto.

He was also a Jinchūriki.

Let him see how Bubbles uses the power of the Tailed Beasts, and then Kitazawa can teach him.

After all, Naruto Uzumaki still has a system mission to become the perfect Jinchuriki.
