Just then, an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared.
He knelt on one knee and said very respectfully, "Lord Danzo."
After the Root was disbanded, many ninjas joined the Anbu.
He was one of them.
Although the seal of the tongue-twisting curse was lifted, his loyalty remained unchanged.
"what's up?"
Danzo Shimura glanced at him and asked.
"Just received a battle report: Kitazawa killed Suigetsu Fuguki."
The ANBU ninja replied.
Danzo Shimura's face stiffened.
It's Kitazawa again?
As Tsunade's student, every time he gained fame, he helped Tsunade get one step closer to becoming Hokage.
Danzo Shimura silently waved his hand.
Upon seeing this, the ANBU ninja disappeared from the spot.
Danzo Shimura touched his right eye.
Now that things have come to this, we can only rely on the gods.
But Konoha Village cannot keep winning like this.
The prestige that comes with a resounding victory is different from that of a pyrrhic victory.
Danzo Shimura was worried that Tsunade's reputation would soar after Konoha's great victory.
Even if he uses Kotoamatsukami to control her and get Tsunade's support, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others will still oppose him.
He couldn't possibly control everyone with Kotoamatsukami.
For Shimura Danzo, the best-case scenario was a Pyrrhic victory for Konoha.
They won, but the losses were also significant.
These losses can be attributed to Tsunade to dampen her reputation.
But it cannot be a complete failure either.
Otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village and other ninja villages would certainly not let go of this great opportunity.
When he becomes Hokage, it will be very difficult for him to handle the numerous battles that are raging, and the risks will be extremely high.
Danzo Shimura fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how to achieve a Pyrrhic victory for Konoha.
The most convenient way to pass on information about Konoha to Kirigakure is undoubtedly to pass it on.
However, you have to be clean with your hands and feet.
If he were discovered, he would lose his chance to become Hokage forever.
Fortunately, the root organization was disbanded, but the assassins he trained were still there.
8:30 a.m.
There was still half an hour before class at the ninja academy.
However, many students in the gifted class had already come to the playground to warm up.
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno greeted everyone with the same enthusiasm as always.
But Sasuke Uchiha ignored her.
He was practicing the Leaf Style: Willow with his ninja sword.
"Good morning, Sakura."
Yamanaka Ino's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno instinctively turned her head.
Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga walked side by side.
"Did you go to Kitazawa-sensei's office for lunch again?"
Sakura Haruno glanced in the direction they came from and guessed what they had just done.
"Ah."
Yamanaka Ino sighed and said, "It's really strange that Kitazawa-sensei isn't here to teach."
Hinata Hyuga nodded in agreement.
"You're all here."
Kiba Inuzuka rushed over, panting, and asked mysteriously, "Guess what I just heard?"
What kind of news could there be?
Lying on the ground, Nara Shikamaru said in a lazy tone, "It must be related to Kitazawa-sensei."
"Don't be smart when you shouldn't be!"
Kiba Inuzuka glared at him and said.
"Teacher Kitazawa?"
Naruto Uzumaki leaned closer and said impatiently, "Kiba, tell me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha, who was practicing Konoha Style: Willow, slowed down his movements and glanced at Kiba Inuzuka.
"strangeness."
Ino Yamanaka asked in confusion, "Why haven't we heard anything from Kitazawa-sensei?"
The war between Konoha and Kirigakure is no secret.
They were from a ninja clan, so they could learn a lot of information from their parents.
"You arrived too early and missed the message."
Kiba Inuzuka said smugly, "I overslept, and when I woke up I heard about Kitazawa-sensei."
"Alright, enough talk, just say it now!"
Yamanaka Ino clenched her fist and threatened, "Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"
Do you know about the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon?
Kiba Inuzuka coughed lightly and asked.
One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Tenten immediately said, "The guy Kitazawa-sensei killed, Raiga Kurosuki, was his former teammate."
"good."
Kiba Inuzuka nodded and said directly, "Teacher Kitazawa killed Suigetsu Fuguki on the battlefield."
"As expected of Kitazawa-sensei!"
Yamanaka Ino waved her little fist excitedly.
"Although Suigetsu Hobuki is also one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he is much stronger than Kurosuki Raiga."
Kiba Inuzuka, with an expression of pride, said, "And he's also the vice commander of Kirigakure."
They understood the significance of Kitazawa killing Suigetsu Fuguki better than the average student.
After all, they are the future heirs of various ninja clans.
"I wonder when I can go to the battlefield with Kitazawa-sensei."
Naruto Uzumaki said longingly.
"That depends on whether the teacher you are assigned to after graduation is Mr. Kitazawa."
Hyuga Neji glanced at him and said.
"That's definitely it!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "Kitazawa-sensei and I have a bond from our youth!"
Hinata Hyuga unconsciously clasped her hands together.
She secretly prayed that her team leader would be Kitazawa-sensei.
"That's hard to say."
Nara Shikamaru yawned and said, "The team leader can only have three students, so the chances of it being you are very small."
"Shikamaru is right!"
With her hands on her hips, Yamanaka Ino said, "I've learned several of Kitazawa-sensei's self-created ninjutsu, so the odds are definitely higher for me!"
Nara Shikamaru's lips twitched.
Everyone else has a chance, but the pig-deer-butterfly duo doesn't.
Because the Ino-Shika-Cho team has always been led by teachers from the Sarutobi clan.
This is considered a default rule.
"You're not the only one who learned Kitazawa-sensei's self-created ninjutsu!"
Kiba Inuzuka reminded him.
"All ninjutsu taught by Kitazawa-sensei are the same."
Sakura Haruno snorted and said, "Kitazawa-sensei is Tsunade-sama's student. I learned medical ninjutsu, so I have a better chance!"
"Teacher Kitazawa is really popular."
Kurama Yakumo remarked with emotion.
"Don't you want Kitazawa-sensei to be your team leader?"
Karin looked at her and asked.
"If I could choose, I would definitely choose Kitazawa-sensei."
Kurama Yakumo said with a smile.
"Doesn't Teacher Kitazawa already have three students?"
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly asked.
"Eh?"
Hinata Hyuga subconsciously raised her head.
"You mean Kabuto-senpai and the others?"
Naruto scratched his head and asked, "Do we still have a chance?"
“We are young. By the time we graduate, Mr. Kitazawa will be taking on new students.”
Nara Shikamaru pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"It's too early to think about that now."
Hyuga Neji said calmly, "It's almost nine o'clock, everyone get ready for training."
"Ah."
Sasuke Uchiha sheathed his ninja sword and said, "Kakashi-sensei is here. I'm going to train in Lightning Release."
He had barely mastered the basics of Konoha Style: Willow, so he began to learn Lightning Release: Chidori.

Kitazawa opened his eyes and saw Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful and delicate face.
