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

Page 471

Qing said slowly.

But his heart was not so calm.

He had already come to believe the ANBU ninja, and Suigetsu Hobutsuki was basically certain of death.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would have killed Kitazawa and the others and would have already run back to claim credit.

They might even use this as leverage to demand more command from him.

From this perspective, Qing felt that his death was not entirely a bad thing.

With the death of Suigetsu Hozuki, Kirigakure's strength weakened further, making them even more vulnerable against Konoha.

The main tent became very quiet again.

A somber atmosphere pervaded the air.

The Jonin of Kirigakure stood still, each with their own thoughts, waiting.

Even the usually arrogant Zabuza Momochi felt the pressure.

"Master Qing!"

A moment later, another ANBU ninja rushed into the main tent and said, "Lord Fuguki is dead!"

"Really dead?"

Qing subconsciously took a step forward.

"The news of Lord Fuguki's death has already spread throughout the Konoha Village headquarters."

The ANBU ninja took a breath and said.

"You may leave."

Qing paused for two seconds, then waved his hand and said.

The two ANBU ninjas bowed slightly and turned to leave the main tent.

"That's Lord Fugu Demon!"

Even a Jonin from Kirigakure still found it unbelievable.

"It seems we need to reassess Kitazawa's strength."

Qing sighed and said, "Since he was able to kill the pufferfish demon, it means we have no way to deal with him."

Suigetsu Hozuki, along with his greatsword Samehada, is considered one of the strongest warriors in Kirigakure.

The only one who could reliably defeat him was the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

At least in the current Kirigakure headquarters, neither he, Zabuza Momochi, nor Mei Terumi and the others are confident.

How will you know if you don't try?

Zabuza Momochi stubbornly retorted, "Lord Fuguki was probably killed by his sneak attack."

"There's no such thing as a sneak attack on the battlefield."

Mei Terumi said in a deep voice, "Kitazawa has killed so many of our strong members from Kirigakure, which has already proven his strength."

Although she had mastered both Lava Release and Boil Release bloodline limits, she was not confident that she could defeat Kitazawa.

“Indeed, you must put away your contempt and treat Kitazawa with caution.”

Qing nodded in agreement.

"So what should we do now?"

Mei Terumi looked at him and asked.

Qing couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Their original plan was to stall Konoha Village so that Yuan Shi and his team could find the real reason why the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, started the war.

But half a month has passed and Master Yuan and his team have made no progress.

This means he has to postpone it further.

Qing suddenly had a thought.

Perhaps the death of Suigetsu Hozuki is an opportunity.

"Konoha Village is currently riding high on morale, so we should temporarily avoid a direct confrontation."

After a moment's thought, Qing said, "The Hidden Mist Village has retreated to the island and will no longer come ashore to fight with the Leaf Village."

"Master Qing!"

Zabuza Momochi complained, "This is undermining our own prestige! It makes it seem like Kirigakure is afraid of them!"

Many of the Kirigakure Jonin nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Retreating at this point would be a very bad idea.

“I know you want revenge for the pufferfish demon, but war is not about winning or losing in the short term.”

Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, only by retreating to the island can we unleash our true advantages."

The Hidden Mist Village specializes in Water Release techniques.

Fighting Konoha Village ashore actually meant losing the advantage of the sea.

"I agree."

Mei Terumi understood that Ao was trying to stall for time, so she expressed her support.

Most importantly, the chances of Kirigakure and Konoha fighting each other are too low, so it's better to retreat to the island and preserve our strength.

We'll talk about it after we figure out the situation of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

"There's a high chance that Konoha will press their advantage and launch a powerful counterattack. We can then use the sea to our advantage."

Qing continued, "It's not impossible to avenge the pufferfish demon."

"What Lord Qing said makes sense."

The Jonin of Kirigakure echoed this sentiment.

"Well."

Ao breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Immediately notify the Hidden Mist Village ninjas still on the shore and tell them to leave tonight."

The moon rises and sets.

A new day has begun.

Warm sunlight shone on the peaceful Konoha Village.

Apart from the occasional reports of victory, the ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village were hardly aware that they were currently in the midst of a war.

Ultimately, Kirigakure is relatively weak and doesn't put much pressure on them.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the Hokage's office without having eaten breakfast.

The reason was the battle report that Tsunade had sent overnight.

The battle report was declassified and delivered to him.

Konoha Village has an encryption system for all its intelligence.

The more important the intelligence, the less room there is for error during its transmission.

To prevent enemies from cracking the code, an encryption system is essential.

Battle reports are highly classified, so they are also encrypted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the battle report with anticipation.

A moment later, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"News of victory always brings joy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

After the war with Kirigakure began, Konoha made great strides and gained a complete advantage.

Meanwhile, Kirigakure suffered the consecutive losses of powerful figures like Suigetsu Hozuki and Ringo Ameyuri.

Adding in Raiga Kurosuki, it's fair to say that two high-ranking members of Kirigakure and a promising genius have died.

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed the battle report.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Konoha will emerge victorious in this war.

Of course, we must not let our guard down until the very last moment.

The Hidden Mist Village must have something to rely on to start a war.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi still hasn't figured it out, Kirigakure will eventually reveal their trump card if they don't want to lose.

In addition, we must also guard against the Cloud Village taking advantage of our misfortune.

"elephant."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then called out.

An ANBU ninja pushed open the door and walked in.

Haru went to Tsunade's place, and now it's Elephant instead.

In the original work, the Konoha Crush plan was explained by the ANBU member who stood outside the Four Purple Flame Formation.

"Pass the message down."

Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the battle report to Enoki.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Xiang took the battle report and turned to leave.

"This time, Kitazawa should become truly famous, not only in Konoha Village, but also in the entire ninja world."

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the departing elephant and thought to himself.

The greatest achievement Konoha Village has made so far is killing Suigetsu Hozuki and Ringo Ameyuri.

But they all died at the hands of one man: Kitazawa.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already foreseen that Kitazawa's fame would skyrocket just like Minato Namikaze's back then.

But this is a good thing.

Kitazawa is Tsunade's student and a ninja from the Hokage lineage.

His fame is the fame of the entire Naruto lineage.

Tsunade, who was directly related to him, benefited the most.

After all, students are nurtured by teachers.

Although Kitazawa is now famous not for his medical ninjutsu, but for his water-style ninjutsu and swordsmanship, others still attribute it to Tsunade.

Because, in other people's eyes, without Tsunade, Kitazawa wouldn't have learned so many ninjutsu.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well.

Kitazawa was able to learn so many ninjutsu techniques thanks to his accumulated experience over time.

One is to exceed the mission target, and the other is to exchange it for a newly created ninjutsu.

Tsunade was originally a renowned ninja in the ninja world, but in recent years, due to hemophobia, she has become less noticeable.

Kitazawa's fame reminded many people of Tsunade.

In short, they're back, they're all back.

Once the war ends, it will be difficult for Tsunade not to become Hokage.

Because it would be difficult for Konoha to find a ninja who was more famous and suitable than her.

The settlement of the Shimura clan.

On the shore of the artificial lake, Danzo Shimura stared blankly at the water, fishing rod in hand.

After retiring, he spent his time fishing when he had nothing to do.
