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

Page 477

A morning passed quickly.

Around noon, Kitazawa met Uchiha Itachi.

"This is the ranking of the final exams for the gifted class."

Itachi Uchiha handed him a scroll and said.

"Thank you."

Kitazawa took the scroll and said.

"There's another piece of information."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly remembered something and said, "Half an hour ago, the Fourth Mizukage arrived at the Kirigakure headquarters."

Kitazawa nodded and opened the scroll.

He couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".

Because the scroll not only contains rankings, but also the training progress of the gifted students.

Clearly, this was an unnecessary move by Itachi Uchiha.

However, this unnecessary step suited Kitazawa's wishes perfectly.

It can only be said that it is indeed Itachi Uchiha; he can handle everything very thoroughly.

For example, Sasuke Uchiha from the original work was dealt with very clearly by him.

Kitazawa closed the scroll after reading it.

The final exam rankings for the gifted class were roughly the same as the rankings for the previous monthly exam.

Naruto Uzumaki remains the top scorer in the practical exam.

Having mastered Wind Release: Gale Palm and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, combined with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he was practically invincible.

Although Sasuke Uchiha learned the Leaf Style: Willow, it had little effect on Naruto Uzumaki.

Because Konoha Style: Willow is a combination of illusion and swordsmanship.

He can only defeat Naruto by using Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Yamanaka Ino made the most progress.

She learned the magic technique of Naraku's Sight.

Although genjutsu was not well portrayed in the original work, it was very useful against ninjas other than those from the Uchiha clan.

In particular, Yamanaka Ino's opponents are a group of students who have not yet graduated.

In addition, there has been initial progress in Shino Aburame's parasitic insects.

With the help of Kosuke Maruboshi and Sakura Haruno's Water Release techniques, parasitic insects with resistance to Water Release techniques appeared.

Of course, this is just the beginning. The parasitic insects have not lasted long enough to complete Kitazawa's system tasks.

After lunch, Kitazawa was called to a meeting by Tsunade.

They only talked about one thing: the change in Kirigakure's tactics.

The Hidden Mist Village ninjas left the island, preparing to establish bases and outposts on the shore.

The situation in the war suddenly changed.

Previously, when Kirigakure relied on the island for defensive warfare, Konoha Village took the lead.

Now it's reversed again, returning to the situation at the very beginning of the war.

However, the addition of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, significantly increased the intensity of the competition.

In particular, many Kirigakure ninja adopted a reckless fighting style.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

It's mid-May now, and the weather has warmed up considerably.

The main headquarters of Konoha Village.

“In the past week, Kirigakure has suffered more than twice as many casualties as us.”

Nara Shikaku reported, "But after paying a price, they established many strongholds and outposts on the shore."

"Ah."

Tsunade had anticipated this and was not surprised.

"Lady Tsunade, I think we should launch a counterattack."

Uchiha Yatsuho said in a deep voice, "We can't let the ninjas of Kirigakure be so arrogant."

"I called you all here precisely to discuss this matter."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "Three days ago, I sent three small teams composed of ANBU and Hyuga clan ninjas to infiltrate behind enemy lines."

"Any results yet?"

Uchiha Hachimoku's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"This is the map they drew."

Tsunade opened a scroll and said, "The red dots on it are the heavily guarded strongholds of Kirigakure."

Kitazawa looked up and glanced at the scene instinctively.

There are four red dots on the map.

The red dot in the very center is the current location of Kirigakure's main base.

The other three red dots represent two supply points and one medical ninja outpost.

"I plan to send three ninja squads to destroy these three strongholds, in addition to the Hidden Mist Village headquarters."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Yashiro, Choza, and Kitazawa, the three of you will lead the team."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then agreed.

The next step is the specific allocation and discussion.

Kitazawa was assigned a supply point located on an island.

Besides their team, there was also a team led by Hyuga Himon, totaling eight people, including five Jonin, a truly impressive lineup.

"Lord Kitazawa, I never imagined we would fight side by side."

Hyuga Himon said happily.

After all, Kitazawa is very powerful, and the success rate of missions with him will be much higher.

"Meet at the camp entrance in five minutes."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"Ok."

Hyuga Hido immediately ran to call his teammates.

Kitazawa also brought Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, and the others to the camp entrance.

Five minutes later, the two teams met up and headed towards their destination.

With the help of Aburame Torune's Phosphorous Beasts and Hyuga Himon's Byakugan, they arrived at Kirigakure's supply point at sea without any trouble.

It was already dark.

"There's nothing wrong with the intelligence."

Hyuga Himon rolled his eyes and said, "There are four Jonin, sixteen Chunin, and sixteen Genin at this supply point."

"Then proceed according to plan."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "I'll use water jutsu to destroy their traps and create chaos, then you can attack."

"With Lord Kitazawa's water-style techniques, we'll definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Hyuga Himon said with a smile.

He had previously raided the Hidden Mist Village's stronghold with Kitazawa, so he had witnessed Kitazawa's devastating water-style techniques.

Just as Kitazawa was about to form hand seals, four splashes of water suddenly erupted from the sea.

Four Hidden Mist Village ninjas emerged from the water and surrounded them.

"The Fourth Mizukage?"

Hyuga Hido's eyes widened suddenly after he clearly saw one of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

Kitazawa's gaze sharpened.

They've fallen into a trap!

Chapter 252 Tsunade's Anxiety

Kitazawa saw the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, in the moonlight.

Just like in the original work, she has a baby face and looks like a teenager.

In fact, he is very old; even his grandson, Kagura, has already been born.

Kitazawa's first reaction was that there was a traitor in Konoha.

Their mission to raid the Hidden Mist Village stronghold was top secret.

Theoretically, only Tsunade and Shikaku Nara, the Jonin who attended the meeting, knew about it.

These Jonin are the pillars of Konoha Village; they would never betray it.

That leaves only three ninja squads composed of members of the Hyuga clan and the Anbu, tasked with carrying out missions deep behind enemy lines.

The branch families of the Hyuga clan all have the image of a caged bird carved on their walls, making them impossible to turn against their own side.

However, there is a certain probability of it occurring in ANBU ninjas.

Kitazawa thought of Shimura Danzo.

After the Root was disbanded, many Root ninjas joined the Anbu.

They continued to obey Danzo Shimura's orders.

Danzo Shimura's goal was to become Hokage, and he would never allow Tsunade to win big in this war.

If Kitazawa's raid fails, it will cause considerable losses to Konoha.

And he was Tsunade's student.

This will undoubtedly have a direct impact on Tsunade's reputation.

"You're Kitazawa?"

Yagura's gaze fell on Kitazawa.

"It seems I'm quite famous, that the Mizukage himself came to ambush me."

Kitazawa said without changing his expression.

While the Byakugan is very useful for reconnaissance and perception, it is not invincible.

Yagura and the others hid in the deep sea and somehow managed to escape the Byakugan.

"You were just incidental."

Yagura, seemingly unconcerned, said, "Our real purpose is to use you to ambush Tsunade."

How did you know my location?

Kitazawa was startled and asked.

Yagura's words prove one thing.

Kirigakure came specifically for him and Tsunade.

This also confirmed his suspicion that the traitors were mostly Danzo Shimura and his former Root members.

You will face the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who is far more powerful than you. Risk is opportunity; survive.
