Kitazawa, who had been knocked away by her earlier, turned into a blur, his speed more than twice as fast as before.
Rasengan!
He raised his right hand, and highly concentrated chakra gathered in his palm.
Tsunade's pupils contracted involuntarily.
At the critical moment, she tilted her head, grabbed Kitazawa's wrist with her right hand, and pressed it down forcefully.
The Rasengan struck the ground, sending debris flying and creating a large crater.
"Alright, that's enough of our sparring."
Tsunade released her grip, took a step back, and said, "Your strength is greater than I imagined; you are indeed capable of undertaking this mission."
In fact, Kitazawa surprised her quite a bit.
He is highly proficient in medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, fire jutsu, and wind jutsu.
He even knows the Eight Gates Formation.
Tsunade hadn't seen such a versatile ninja in a long time.
If we only consider medical ninjas, then she is the second medical ninja who is this capable in combat, besides herself.
Why do medical ninjas need teammates to protect them?
It's not that they're unwilling to learn other ninjutsu, but rather that they lack the energy and time to do so.
Tsunade's previous impression of Kitazawa was that he was a medical ninjutsu genius, but now her opinion has changed; he is now a ninjutsu genius.
She is more than qualified to be her student.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa exhaled and said.
Tsunade was indeed more impressive than he had imagined; she overwhelmed him with her superhuman strength alone.
Moreover, it was obvious that she didn't go all out, or rather, she didn't take this match seriously.
However, Kitazawa did not use his full strength.
He dared not use his white eyes, soft fists, or any secret techniques.
If used, it could definitely catch Tsunade off guard.
After all, ninja warfare is essentially intelligence warfare.
In his previous life, Jiraiya was also one of the phantom gods.
Other examples include Healthy Weasel, Returning Minato, and Neutered Fugaku.
The two returned to the secret service office.
"Lady Tsunade."
After a moment, Qing pushed open the door and came in, handing over a scroll.
"Go and call Kakashi here."
Tsunade opened the scroll and glanced at it; it contained the exact location of Kabuto Yakushi in Iwagakure.
After she finished reading it, she casually handed the scroll to Kitazawa.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi Hatake, with a deadpan expression, walked into the Anbu office.
He glanced at Kitazawa, somewhat surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.
"I have a task for you."
Tsunade got straight to the point: "You and Kitazawa will team up and go to Iwagakure to meet a Konoha ninja."
"...?"
Kakashi Hatake had no questions about the mission itself, but he had a lot of questions about Kitazawa.
Kitazawa is just an average ninja academy teacher. Isn't sending him on an ANBU mission just harming him?
"This mission is classified as S-level."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said.
Kitazawa's mind raced, and he thought to himself that this was an unexpected delight.
As ninjas, they have ninja files that record the number of missions completed and the mission completion level.
The more impressive your resume, the more desirable it is to employers.
In addition, there are theoretically requirements regarding the number of missions required to participate in the Chunin Exams and Jonin Exams.
"Kakashi, Kitazawa will explain any questions you have on the way."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You should set off now."
"Ok."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then reminded her, "At the Ninja Academy, please have Lady Tsunade send an ANBU ninja to impersonate me."
"You are very thoughtful."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and said, "I will arrange it."
"Kakashi, please transform into the appearance of a six-year-old child."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
Kakashi Hatake silently formed hand seals.
He was an ANBU ninja, and even if Tsunade's orders were problematic, he had to follow them.
"Haru, keep a close eye on the movements of Shimura Danzo and Root."
After Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake left, Tsunade said calmly, "I estimate that it won't be long before they notice something."
She can stop Danzo Shimura and the Root, but at most she can only stop a portion of them; there will definitely be some who slip through the net.
After all, Danzo Shimura had been running Konoha for so long.
"Yes."
Qing immediately responded.
"If they make a move, call Nono over."
Tsunade thought for a moment and then added.
……
This isn't the first time Kitazawa has left Konoha.
Before becoming a Chunin, he went out on many missions.
Each mission was nerve-wracking, but luckily he was fortunate enough not to encounter any high-risk tasks.
After becoming a Chunin, he immediately went to the Ninja Academy to become a teacher.
His mindset was different this time when he left Konoha; he no longer needed to be as anxious as before.
After registering with the two gatekeepers of Konoha Village, Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake left the village.
"Kitazawa".
As soon as they left the village, Kakashi Hatake instructed them, "After leaving the Land of Fire, follow my orders."
Kitazawa knew he wasn't trying to seize command, but rather that he was worried about Kitazawa's safety.
But on the other hand, it also shows that Kakashi Hatake distrusts him extremely.
But that's normal.
Kitazawa is still the old version with Kakashi Hatake; he hasn't been updated yet.
Chapter 135 Danzo: The Hokage is mine!
Konoha Village Root Base.
Danzo Shimura picked up the scroll on the table and began to read it.
This was his routine; he would check on the Uchiha clan's movements every day.
"What exactly is Tsunade trying to do?"
Danzo Shimura put down the scroll and said with a gloomy expression.
Since Tsunade returned to the village, the Uchiha clan has become much more well-behaved.
On the one hand, without conflict, Root no longer had many opportunities to target the Uchiha clan.
On the other hand, he was worried about Tsunade because she had stayed in Konoha for too long.
"Could it be that she really wants to become Hokage?"
Danzo Shimura clenched his fists instinctively.
When the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, died from the Nine-Tails' attack, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, returned to power to stabilize the panicked situation.
But everyone knew he was appointed in a time of crisis, and given his advanced age, he wouldn't be able to hold the position for long.
Currently, there are only three people in Konoha Village who are most qualified to be the Fifth Hokage.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and him.
Danzo Shimura thought he had the best chance.
Because Tsunade and Jiraiya are often away from home, they don't seem very interested in the Hokage position.
Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to give him the title of Hokage and repeatedly refused.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
A look of displeasure flashed across Shimura Danzo's eyes.
After saying that, I felt much better.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi won't give it to him, Danzo Shimura can wait; he can outlive him.
But Tsunade's return to the village disrupted his plans.
It must be admitted that Tsunade has a greater advantage than him in the competition for the Fifth Hokage; he basically can't beat her.
Fortunately, Tsunade did nothing after returning to the village, appearing to be without desires or wants.
Danzo Shimura was temporarily relieved.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Danzo Shimura looked up at the doorway.
"Lord Danzo."
A Root ninja walked in, knelt on one knee, and said, "Just recently, the Anbu reviewed Kabuto Yakushi's information."
"Have you found out why Hiruzen wanted Kabuto Yakushi's information?"
Danzo Shimura frowned slightly and asked.
The Anbu belong only to the Hokage, and only the Hokage can command them.
He subconsciously assumed that the Anbu investigation into Kabuto Yakushi was the work of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"It's not the Hokage, it's Tsunade."
The Root ninja explained, "The Anbu are acting on Lady Tsunade's orders."
"What did you say?"
Danzo Shimura suddenly stood up, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
He was just feeling relieved that Tsunade had been slacking off since returning to the village, but in the blink of an eye, she had already taken command of the Anbu.
So, is she going to become the Fifth Hokage tomorrow?
