Kitazawa stood up, said goodbye, and left.
Back home, Kurenai was already up and practicing her superhuman strength.
In addition, Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha also arrived on time.
"Let's go to the mission hall."
Kitazawa extended his hand and said.
Kurenai stepped forward and took his hand.
Naruto Building Mission Hall.
Although it was Saturday, it was still bustling with people, and there were many ninjas.
After all, theoretically, ninjas don't have weekends off.
Once you accept a task, especially a difficult one, you might spend several months or even a year and a half working on it.
Rest is nonexistent.
However, no one will say anything if you take a break during a mission.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Kabuto looked at the quest log on the wall and asked, "Should we accept an A-rank quest or an S-rank quest this time?"
"Grade A or Grade B is fine."
Kitazawa replied.
His goal was simply to reach the Land of Rivers and, incidentally, encounter Raiga Kurosuki.
With the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they will be promoted to S-rank in any mission.
Kabuto was a little puzzled by what he heard, but he didn't ask any further questions.
He developed the habit of obeying orders from his superiors from the very beginning.
The teacher leading the team is considered a superior.
Kitazawa's gaze swept over the tasks on the wall.
Most mission locations are in the Land of Fire, with only a few located outside of it.
Missions involving the Land of Rivers are even rarer.
Fortunately, his requirements weren't high; a B-level mission would suffice.
"This one will do."
Kitazawa reached out and took a B-rank mission.
This mission was issued by the daimyo of the Land of Fire, who ordered the elimination of a ninja who had fled to the Land of Rivers.
Of course, this ninja is not from one of the Five Great Villages.
There are many ninjas in the ninja world who are not from the Five Great Villages, such as the Fire Temple of the Land of Fire.
It's unclear why this ninja offended the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
But Kitazawa didn't need to know anything; all he needed to do was kill him and bring the body back.
"Is this task a little too easy?"
Kurenai asked, puzzled.
It's a huge waste of time for them to go to the Land of Rivers with one special Jonin and four Chunin just for one Chunin.
"In that case, we can learn ninjutsu while doing missions."
Kitazawa made up a random excuse.
"Ah."
After thinking about it, Kurenai Yuhi thought this approach was also good.
"Set off."
After receiving the task, Kitazawa and his group headed out of the village.
Once they were out of the Death Forest, they started running.
The Land of Rivers borders the Land of Fire, and is located to the west of the Land of Fire.
Night falls.
They arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, not far from the Land of Rivers.
"Let's rest here."
Kitazawa instructed, "Kabuto, the three of you, set up the tent."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Yakushi Kabuto immediately made arrangements, saying, "I'll set up one tent, and Tokine and Izumi will set up the other tent."
Normally, a tent should be set up.
After all, it's safer for everyone to sleep together in sleeping bags, and they can react faster if they encounter an enemy.
However, Kabuto Yakushi took into account the relationship between Kitazawa and Kurenai Yuhi, so he set up an extra tent.
After the tent was set up, the five of them gathered together for a meal.
"Later, set up a few traps around the area to avoid encountering ninjas from other villages."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "I'll go to the Land of Rivers first to confirm the location of our mission target."
Actually, he wanted to know if Kurosuki Raiga was already at the Soxa Gold Mine in the Land of Rivers.
If not, it's just a wasted trip.
"I go with you."
Kurenai Yuhi immediately said.
"No need, it's more convenient for me to go alone."
After Kitazawa finished speaking, he formed a hand seal.
With a bang.
From within the smoke, a live slug the size of a kitten appeared.
"This is... Lady Tsunade's summoning beast?"
Kurenai glanced at it twice, then suddenly seemed to realize something and asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Kabuto and the other two also showed expressions of curiosity and surprise.
After all, the three holy lands of summoning beasts are very famous.
"Hello, I am Katsuyu, the summoning beast of Lady Tsunade and Lady Kitazawa."
"That's how politely the slug said."
"Lord Live Slug can use the Reverse Spirit Communication Technique."
Kitazawa explained, "I'll be able to get back here quickly through Lord Live Slug."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Kurenai said, "Then you must be careful on your own."
"Ah."
Kitazawa estimated the time and said, "Lord Live Slug, use the Reverse Summoning Technique in three hours."
The country of Sichuan is just a small country.
At full speed, three hours is enough for him to run several laps.
Moreover, he can use the Byakugan even when he's alone.
"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."
The live slug answered gently.
"Wait for me."
Kitazawa activated his Byakugan not far from the tent.
He has now increased the purity of his white eye by 30%, and his detection range has expanded to about seven kilometers.
In the original work, the pinnacle of sensory ninjutsu is Kagura's Mind's Eye from the Uzumaki clan.
When Karin first awakened, she could sense distances of over five kilometers, and in the later stages, this distance became even more exaggerated, reaching tens of kilometers.
Seven kilometers is also seven thousand meters.
And it's the radius.
Even for a ninja, seven thousand meters is not a short distance.
Kitazawa did not leave immediately, but began to explore the vicinity of the tent.
Only after confirming that there were no Root ninjas or other ninjas did he feel relieved enough to leave and enter the Land of Rivers.
Kitazawa had made preparations before coming, buying a detailed map of the land of rivers.
It is labeled as "Oxalis Jinshan".
As Kitazawa walked, he recalled the plot of the original work.
Raiga Kurozuki's death was quite coincidental.
Because he needed to mine, he forced the nearby villagers to become miners.
Among them is Rokusuke, the son of Sansho, the old woman from the curry shop.
However, Rokusuke joined the Kurosuki clan voluntarily.
After Rock Lee fainted during a long run, he was saved by Granny Sansho's Life Curry, thus triggering the mission to save Rokusuke.
Then Neji Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki, Tenten, and Rock Lee defeated Raiga Kurosuki.
Currently, such a task cannot be triggered, since the Black Hoe family has not yet been established.
However, Kitazawa was quite curious about the taste of that Life Curry.
Moreover, judging from the original work, the Life Curry, besides being incredibly spicy, also has magical effects.
Lee Rock always felt energetic after eating, as if he had taken some kind of secret medicine.
Just then, Kitazawa suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Within his Byakugan gaze, three terrifying streams of chakra appeared.
Three Jonin?
No, there is one more, but he is not a Jonin. His chakra is relatively weak, about the same as a Genin.
Two of the Jonin were engaged in a fierce battle.
Kitazawa steadied himself and approached while observing with his Byakugan.
A moment later, the images of the three Jonin were vividly recalled in his mind.
The good news is that one of the three Jonin is Raiga Kurosuki.
His features are easy to recognize: long green hair and carrying two swords.
The bad news is that he also knows the other two Jonin.
She had blue-purple hair, amber eyes, light purple eyeshadow, and a delicate and beautiful face with a lip piercing on her lower lip.
Xiao Nan, one of the three founders of the Akatsuki organization.
Another one was carrying an enormous long sword.
The first user of the Broken Blade, the Executioner's Blade, was Juzo Biwa.

The fourth chakra sourced from Raiga Kurosuki's back.
