Unlike before, when it was always Kirigakure who would come ashore to ambush and harass them.
Because the sea is the home ground of Kirigakure, Konoha reorganized its ninja squads under the arrangement of Nara Shikaku.
However, Kitazawa's team remained unchanged.
His Water Release technique, combined with Aburame Torune's Phosphorous Waste, still allows him to play a significant role at sea, so there's no need to separate them.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Because there were no more system tasks, Kitazawa didn't work as hard as before.
He chose to complete one task every two days, giving Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, and Izumi Uchiha plenty of time to learn ninjutsu.
Night fell.
The Kitazawa team gathered in front of the tent and ate dinner.
"By the way, have your class finished their final exams?"
Suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi thought of something and asked.
"It's over a long time ago; they're already halfway through their vacation."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said with some emotion, "I was so busy with missions this month that I forgot about it."
"You can ask the ninjas in the Anbu."
Kurenai took a bite of the grilled fish and said.
Anbu ninjas frequently travel to and from Konoha Village to deliver intelligence.
"I'll just ask Itachi to help me with the class's final exam rankings."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
During the war, he certainly couldn't return to the Ninja Academy to take his final exams.
But it doesn't matter, he can get a general idea of the situation in the gifted class by looking at the rankings.
"It's been two months since we last returned to Konoha."
Yuhi Hong sighed.
"I estimate we won't be able to go back for long, because Kirigakure is finding it difficult to hold on any longer."
Kitazawa said casually.
"I always felt that Kirigakure was waiting for something."
Kurenai touched her chin and said.
Just as Kitazawa was about to speak, a member of the Anbu ninja appeared in front of them.
"Lord Kitazawa."
The ANBU ninja bowed slightly and said, "Please go to the main tent."
"Ah."
After finishing his meal, Kitazawa went to the main tent.
He looked around and found that Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and the others were all there.
Another Jonin meeting?
"I just received a message."
After Tsunade and the others arrived, she said in a deep voice, "The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is on his way."
"what?"
Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, and the others all showed expressions of surprise.
Although many wars have occurred in the ninja world, the number of Kage from the five great villages who personally participate in the wars is still very small.
Moreover, their participation in the war often means that an entire ninja village will mobilize.
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.
It's finally here.
It seems it's time to complete his system tasks.
Chapter 251 Kitazawa's Team Falls into a Trap
Will the arrival of the Fourth Mizukage cause Kirigakure to change its tactics?
Akimichi Choza asked the question.
I have a feeling it will.
Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a moment and said, "As a Kage, both his strength and influence are enough to turn the tide of battle."
"Although the Fourth Mizukage is very powerful, we are not inferior to him either. Lady Tsunade is not inferior to him."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was very confident and said, "The arrival of the Fourth Mizukage will not change anything."
Kitazawa stood to the side, listening to the discussion, and noticed something.
They didn't know that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.
But that's normal.
Each ninja village tries its best to conceal the identity of its Jinchuriki.
One reason is to better protect them in normal times.
Secondly, the presence of a Jinchūriki on the battlefield can have unexpected effects.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, the two Jinchuriki of this generation in Kumogakure did not hide their identities; they were completely open and aboveboard.
Compared to other ninja villages, the Fourth Raikage had more confidence.
He believed in the strength of Kumogakure and the Jinchūriki, so he didn't care whether they were exposed.
“I think there’s one more thing we should consider.”
Kitazawa coughed lightly and asked, "Since the Fourth Mizukage is here, where are the Jinchūriki?"
He didn't directly say that Yagura Karatachi was the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.
After all, he couldn't explain the source of the intelligence.
"What Kitazawa said is indeed possible."
Nara Shikaku's expression turned serious upon hearing this, and he said, "If the Fourth Mizukage brings his Jinchūriki, then we will be no match for him."
In the minds of most ninjas, only a Jinchuriki can defeat another Jinchuriki.
That's actually true.
The power of a Jinchuriki after transforming into a Tailed Beast is terrifying.
There are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world who can suppress Jinchuriki, or rather, Tailed Beasts.
Kitazawa fell into deep thought.
Human Jinchūriki are indeed a big problem.
Especially considering that Tsunade also suffers from hemophobia.
In the current Konoha Village headquarters, probably only Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan can play the greatest role.
Kitazawa suddenly had a thought.
He realized he had gone astray.
Defeating Yagura was not his goal; breaking Obito Uchiha's control was.
In that case, it would be perfectly acceptable to point out that Yagura Karatachi was being controlled during the battle between the two sides.
The ninjas of Kirigakure will definitely not believe it, but that doesn't matter. Even if they don't believe Kitazawa, they have to believe Ao.
Qing has white eyes.
The reason he hadn't discovered that Yagura was being controlled was because he didn't dare to use his Byakugan to spy on him.
After all, that was the Fourth Mizukage.
Even a ninja from the Hyuga clan wouldn't be idly using their Byakugan to spy on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In fact, Konoha Village has its own rules.
Unless under special circumstances, members of the Hyuga clan are not allowed to use the Byakugan in Konoha.
No one can tolerate a ninja with X-ray vision spying everywhere.
Kitazawa suspects that this is the reason why Hinata Hyuga was able to be kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas at home in the original work.
"To prevent the possibility of a Jinchūriki appearing, I will have the old man send the sealing team over."
Tsunade thought for a moment and then said.
Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village.
He is still young, and it's not yet the most critical moment for Konoha Village, so it's impossible to bring him to the battlefield.
Bringing in the sealing team is the best solution.
"Everyone, get ready first. We'll react to Kirigakure's actions once the Fourth Mizukage arrives."
Tsunade concluded.
After the meeting ended, everyone left the main tent.
Kitazawa didn't leave; he stayed where he was.
"Kitazawa, is there anything else?"
Tsunade looked at him and asked.
"I'll ask Itachi about the ninja academy."
Kitazawa stated the truth.
"You are a very competent teacher."
Tsunade smiled upon hearing this and said, "Shizune, go and call Itachi here."
Silent nodded.
"Lady Tsunade, are you confident you can defeat the Fourth Mizukage?"
While waiting, Kitazawa asked.
"No."
Tsunade leaned back, her buttocks resting on the table, showing their elasticity, and said jokingly, "I still need you."
"This is the first time I've ever heard such a thing come from Lady Tsunade's mouth."
Kitazawa smiled and said.
Tsunade was slightly taken aback.
Reminded by Kitazawa, she realized what was going on.
These are words that don't sound like something she would say.
"You are my student."
Tsunade regained her languid demeanor and asked nonchalantly, "If I don't rely on you, who will I rely on?"
She has always been shameless.
After all, she was chased all over the ninja world by her creditors in order to escape them.
"What if I can't beat them?"
Kitazawa stepped forward and stood beside her.
"Let's run for our lives together."
Tsunade glanced at him and said, "If you can't beat them, run away. Only a fool would stand still and die."
