"Once we defeat Kirigakure, you'll have plenty of time to see the sea."
Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.
"Ah."
Uchiha Izumi nodded.
"Get ready, barring any unforeseen circumstances, our team will begin its mission tomorrow."
Kitazawa yawned and said, "As for now, let's go to sleep."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
The three, including Yakushi Kabuto, said in unison.
Because they were from the same ninja squad, their tents were next to each other.
Logically speaking, a ninja squad should only have one tent.
Whether it's war or a mission, sleeping is always kept simple; a sleeping bag is all you need.
In addition, since they slept fully clothed, a ninja squad would sleep in one tent, regardless of gender.
However, due to Kitazawa's current status and position, their ninja team was assigned two tents.
As for how to divide the tents, naturally, the three of them, including Kabuto, would share one tent, while Kitazawa and Kurenai would share another.
Kitazawa held Kurenai's soft body in his arms and drifted off to sleep, inhaling her faint fragrance.
They woke up in the afternoon.
After the meal, they didn't rest but seized the time to cultivate.
Kitazawa took this opportunity to reinforce the ninjutsu he had copied with his three-tomoe Sharingan during the battle the previous night.
These are two water-style ninjutsu and two earth-style ninjutsu.
Water Release: Water Fang Blade, Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet, and Earth Release: Submerged Earth.
Copying only means you can use it; you're still a long way from mastering it.
Fortunately, he now possesses proficient-level Earth Release and Water Release chakra nature transformations, so he can quickly become familiar with them.
Kitazawa felt that Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique was the most useful.
It can be very effective against non-Hidden Mist Village ninjas.
But the ninjas of Kirigakure were already used to the foggy weather.
Add to that their unique silent killing technique, and it's hard to say who will come out on top.
Unless Kitazawa also learns the art of silent killing.
But this thing is essentially an assassination technique rather than ninjutsu.
In the original work, there was the battle between Kakashi Hatake and Zabuza Momochi in the Land of Waves.
Even with his three-tomoe Sharingan, he only copied the Water Release ninjutsu, not the Silent Killing Technique.
the next morning.
Kitazawa woke up right on time.
He sat up and stretched.
"Good morning."
Kurenai opened her eyes and greeted him.
Because they were on a battlefield, both of them were very restrained.
She didn't waste her energy last night and slept well. After noticing Kitazawa's actions, she woke up from her sleep.
"I still feel most comfortable sleeping at home."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "I'm not used to not going to class."
"Your students are probably even less used to it."
Kurenai Yuhi chuckled softly and said.
She was well aware of how popular Kitazawa was among the students.
After Kurenai Yuhi said that, Kitazawa did miss Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.
It's a pity they were too young; otherwise, they could have been sent to the battlefield as well.
Kitazawa shook his head.
He is not Fugaku Uchiha; he would never send a child to the battlefield.
Although Naruto and his friends are no less powerful than ordinary Chunin, the brutality of the battlefield can easily leave them with psychological trauma.
If everyone becomes Uchiha Itachi, Kitazawa will be completely torn apart.
After getting up, the two of them quickly washed up and then had breakfast with the three of them, including Yakushi Kabuto.
"Lord Kitazawa."
A member of the Anbu ninja suddenly appeared. "Lady Tsunade requests your presence."
"OK, thanks."
Kitazawa stood up and walked towards the main tent.
On both sides of the main tent, many ninjas were coming and going, receiving missions.
Only exceptionally important tasks are assigned by Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa called out from the doorway and only went inside after receiving permission.
There were only Tsunade and Shizune in the main tent.
"Choose one of the tasks here."
Gang pointed to the scrolls on the table and said, "They're all A-rank and S-rank missions."
"Lady Tsunade, you really think highly of me."
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
"Your team has two Jonin, so you should make the best use of them."
"That's what Tsunade replied."
Her original plan was to have Kitazawa stay by her side, but after the raid on Kirigakure was completed, she changed her mind.
Such formidable combat power should not be wasted, and this is also a very good opportunity to make a name for ourselves.
Tsunade is now grooming Kitazawa as her successor to the Hokage.
The first step to becoming Hokage is to have a great deal of fame.
"And red."
Kitazawa reminded him.
Normally, a ninja squad consists of four people.
With Kurenai Yuhi included, their ninja squad is already overcrowded.
But as long as Tsunade, the frontline commander, agrees, no one dares to say anything.
“I’ve already included red in the calculation.”
Tsunade gave a soft snort and said.
"As expected of Lady Tsunade, she is incredibly insightful!"
Kitazawa immediately praised it.
"Enough with the nonsense, choose your task."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said.
Kitazawa immediately flipped through the tasks on the table.
The tasks were roughly divided into four types.
The first type of defense involved building numerous outposts and outposts in Konoha Village to facilitate combat, all of which required personnel to defend them.
The second type of reconnaissance involves Kirigakure, which, like Konoha, has built strongholds and outposts, and Konoha needs to know their locations.
The third type of battle involves either capturing strongholds or outposts, or hunting down wandering Kirigakure ninja squads.
The fourth type of infiltration involves going to the island where Kirigakure is located to cause sabotage or harass the medical and logistical units.
"I choose this task."
Kitazawa handed the scroll in his hand to Tsunade.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Tsunade glanced at the scroll in her hand and couldn't help but ask.
"This is making the best use of resources."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "I'm quite confident in my infiltration skills."
"Better safe than sorry."
Tsunade was silent for two seconds before speaking.
"I see."
Kitazawa took the scroll and left the main tent.
Once on the battlefield, it's time to show your skills.
[Current Mission: Lead your squad to complete ten A-rank or S-rank missions.]
[Mission Reward: Composite Ninja Art - Flaming Wind Chaos]
【Whether to accept? 】
As soon as Kitazawa stepped out of the main tent, four lines of text appeared before his eyes.
Although the system task came suddenly, it was also within his expectations.
The only unexpected thing was the reward for this task.
Composite Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos Wave, originating from Kakuzu, is a combination of Fire Release: Head Carving and Wind Release: Pressure Damage.
Despite some unexpected events, the power of this combined ninjutsu is definitely not bad.
In Kitazawa's view, Kakuzu can be considered a top-tier goalkeeper.
Anyone stronger than Kakuzu can be considered a top-tier ninja in the ninja world.
"Is there a mission?"
When Kurenai saw Kitazawa return, she took the initiative to ask him.
"S-rank mission: sabotage the supply convoy of Kirigakure."
Kitazawa briefly recounted the contents of the scroll.
"Is the first task this difficult?"
Kurenai's expression turned serious.
Supply transport teams are generally accompanied by Jonin (high-ranking ninja).
That's not even the most troublesome part.
The supply convoy departed from the Land of Water and headed towards the Kirigakure headquarters.
This stretch of road is undoubtedly within the enemy's rear, and you could encounter Kirigakure ninjas at any time.
"It's difficult, but it's perfect for our team."
Kitazawa looked at Aburame Torune and said with a smile, "This mission depends on you, Torune."
"Yes."
Aburame Tori was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied.
