As before, Kitazawa created nine shadow clones.
Ten people worked together to grade the exam papers, and they quickly finished all thirty papers, and the rankings were released.
Kitazawa glanced at the rankings.
It's pretty much the same as last time.
Only Nara Shikamaru dropped from first place to tenth place.
Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyuga, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga each moved up one rank.
"The key is still the actual exam."
Kitazawa stood up and stretched.
In this monthly exam's practical test, he had two system tasks.
One is Yamanaka Ino, and the other is Uzumaki Naruto.
Kitazawa has already taught them everything he can; now it's up to them to demonstrate their abilities.
Overall, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Kitazawa closed the door and left the ninja academy.
But after taking only a few steps, they saw Tsunade, Nara Shikaku, and the Kirigakure ninja delegation.
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.
Although the negotiations between Kirigakure and Konoha were initiated by him, he did not inquire about their progress.
I never expected to witness the departure of the Hidden Mist Village ninja delegation today.
Kitazawa thought for a moment, then followed.
The main gate of Konoha Village.
"We will remember Konoha's domineering ways and come back to learn from them when we have the chance."
"Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon said in a deep voice."
No matter what price they offered, Konoha Village refused to give them Raito Kiba.
He had originally planned to negotiate for a couple more days, but yesterday the ANBU ninja sent by the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, told him to give up.
Since it was the Mizukage's order, he had no choice but to comply and made concessions, only taking away Raiga Kurosuki's corpse.
But the performance of Konoha Village in the past two days left a deep impression on him and... a sense of resentment.
"Konoha Village welcomes you anytime."
Tsunade smiled faintly, not taking his words to heart.
"Let's go!"
With a leap, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon vanished swiftly into the Forest of Death.
The other Hidden Mist Village ninjas quickly followed.
"It's finally over. I wasted so much of my time."
Tsunade revealed her true colors, saying somewhat displeasedly, "Next time, let whoever wants to go go go!"
Nara Shikaku and the others could only pretend they hadn't heard.
"You can go back now."
Tsunade knew there was no point in complaining to them, so she waved her hand and said.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Nara Shikaku and the others bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa stepped forward and said.
Are you free this afternoon?
Tsunade glanced at him and asked.
She had already spotted Kitazawa following behind.
"fine."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "But if you're asking me to go to the casino with you, I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
Tsunade grabbed his wrist, her beautiful eyes wide, and said, "You should make it up to me because I haven't been to the casino these past few days because of you!"
The reason she represented Konoha to negotiate with Kirigakure was because Kitazawa killed Raiga Kurosuki and took his Raiga sword, Kiba.
If they hadn't taken the Thunder Blade Fang, they wouldn't have been negotiating for so long.
Kitazawa instinctively tried to break free, but remained motionless.
Tsunade's strength is much greater than his.
"Ok."
Kitazawa thought about it and agreed.
After all, he does bear the primary responsibility.
"go!"
Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she said, "Let's go to the casino now before Shizune can react!"
Aren't you going to eat lunch?
Kitazawa's lips twitched, and he asked.
"Go buy two bento boxes."
Tsunade released his hand and warned, "If you run away, you'll face the consequences!"
"How could I dare?"
Kitazawa smiled and said, "Besides, I'm a very trustworthy person."
"I'll be waiting for you at the usual place."
Tsunade's expression softened, and she spoke.
After watching her leave, Kitazawa pondered for a moment before returning home.
Buying bento boxes is a bit wasteful; since we already have some at home, we might as well make two.
"You're back? I'll go cook now."
Kurenai Yuhi stood up and said.
"I'll go out to eat."
Kitazawa explained, "Lady Tsunade asked me to bring two meals to the casino."
"Have the negotiations with Kirigakure ended?"
Kurenai Yuhi immediately realized what was going on.
"Ah."
Kitazawa headed towards the kitchen.
Kurenai Yuhi followed.
She picked up the apron and tied it around Kitazawa's waist.
"I'll go get the lunchbox."
Kurenai Yuhi had a gentle expression on her face, perfectly playing the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
After preparing the meal, Kitazawa took two lunch boxes to the casino.
Tsunade sat at a gambling table, intently watching the dealer's movements.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa stepped forward and sat down next to her, saying, "Let's eat first."
"I'm busy."
Without turning her head, Tsunade said, "You feed me."
"Lady Tsunade, how could you say such a thing?"
Kitazawa asked, complaining.
"Is that not allowed?"
Tsunade said matter-of-factly, "I am, after all, your teacher."
"Since you've said so, then of course it's possible."
Kitazawa picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fried shrimp, and brought it to her mouth.
Tsunade parted her red lips slightly, bit into the fried shrimp, and used her tender red tongue to roll it into her mouth.
Looking at this scene, Kitazawa thought of the phrase "a feast for the eyes".
"hateful!"
Tsunade's expression suddenly changed, her delicate face full of displeasure. "How did we lose again?"
Kitazawa shook his head.
It's quite impressive that you haven't given up after losing for so many years.
"Open your mouth."
Kitazawa picked up the rice ball and said.
Tsunade took a big bite with a grim expression.
Kitazawa was startled.
He had a feeling that her bite could sever his finger as well.
Fortunately, Tsunade wasn't that ruthless.
Time passed slowly.
As expected, Tsunade lost again all afternoon.
The two walked out of the casino.
"The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon is a bit strange."
Tsunade suddenly realized something and said, "Their attitude was very firm just a few days ago, but it has completely changed today."
Kitazawa frowned slightly.
Could it be because of Obito Uchiha?
He controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, so he could naturally command the Kirigakure ninja delegation.
Kitazawa felt a sense of foreboding.
In the original work, Obito Uchiha abandoned Kirigakure because Ao used his Byakugan to discover the truth about Yagura Karatachi being controlled.
But Ao hasn't found out yet, and Obito Uchiha is seriously injured.
In a fit of extreme rage, he is capable of anything, such as instigating war between Kirigakure and Konoha.
"Never mind, it's just Kirigakure."
Tsunade said nonchalantly.
Kirigakure was already weaker than Konoha, and its power has weakened even more in recent years due to its involvement in the Blood Mist Village.
She didn't think Kirigakure would dare to do anything.
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded.
there is always a solution to a problem.
