"This matter will be handled by Haiyi."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Inoichi Yamanaka and said, "All the money involved in the process will be reimbursed by Konoha Village."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Yamanaka Inoichi immediately understood.
Flowers are needed for funerals.
The Yamanaka clan owns many flower shops, so they are well-suited to do this.
Of course, there are other things to prepare besides flowers.
One thing after another was arranged.
Before we knew it, the meeting had lasted for two hours.
"Today's meeting is now adjourned."
After confirming that everything had been arranged, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said.
After he finished speaking, he left the meeting room.
As he left, the other Jonin also dispersed.
"Even after the war ends, there will be no peace."
Tsunade frowned, bit her finger, and said with considerable dissatisfaction.
"This is called 'the capable should do more'."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"What are you laughing at? You can't escape either."
Tsunade turned to look at him and said, "You don't need to attend classes this week; just focus on assisting me."
"Yes."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Since it is Lady Tsunade's order, I will carry it out even at the cost of my life."
As for going back to the ninja academy, I haven't been to class for two and a half months anyway, so one more week won't make a difference.
"That's more like it."
Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's not just you. I'll ask Shizune and Shikaku for help."
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded.
Let's start tomorrow.
Tsunade glanced out the window and said, "I'll call you when I go out."
They arrived at Konoha Village at 10 a.m., held a two-hour meeting, and it was already noon.
It seems inhumane to make them work without giving them half a day of rest.
And most importantly, Tsunade wanted to go to the casino.
She has been abstaining from gambling for two and a half months!
Two and a half months, who knows how she survived it.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Tsunade got up and walked outside.
She suddenly stopped at the door of the conference room.
"Here, take this."
Tsunade casually tossed it aside and said, "Consider this your reward for helping me this week."
Before Kitazawa could react, a dark shadow streaked through the air and flew toward him.
He instinctively grabbed it.
The warm touch startled him.
Kitazawa composed himself, his gaze unconsciously falling on the necklace in his hand.
This is a pendant necklace with a green-looking crystal hanging from it.
Kitazawa twitched the corner of his mouth; he had already recognized him.
This is the first necklace, a relic of Hashirama Senju, and also Tsunade's most cherished possession.
Within the green crystals lies Hashirama Senju's chakra.
In the original work, it could even suppress Naruto Uzumaki when he went berserk due to the Nine-Tails.
Kitazawa obtaining the necklace signifies that he has gained Tsunade's approval.
The problem is that everyone who had previously gained Tsunade's approval died, including Naruto Uzumaki, who died once.
That's why, in its previous life, Naruto fans called it the Death Necklace.
Kitazawa shook his head.
Tsunade has vanished without a trace; he has lost the chance to give her back.
Besides, if she returned the things she had given away, Kitazawa felt he would be beaten to death on the spot.
"I'm a cheat code with a system, after all. I'm tough, so I can definitely withstand it."
Kitazawa put on the necklace after thinking about it.
He glanced around; his clothes completely concealed the necklace, and at first glance, one wouldn't notice that he was wearing one.
It's not as obvious as Tsunade's case.
Kitazawa let out a soft "hmm".
It wasn't noticeable when Tsunade wore it; at least, he didn't remember it.
After all, there are things that are much prettier than a necklace.
[Current Mission: Make a name for your squad in this war.]
[Mission Reward: Bloodline Limit and corresponding ninjutsu.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow as he looked at the three lines of text that suddenly appeared before him.
Is it finally finished?
He had thought that the system mission would be completed when Kirigakure surrendered, but he didn't expect it to be completed only after he returned to Konoha.
[During this war, your squad gained immense popularity, becoming known throughout Konoha Village.]
[Based on reputation assessment, the host has acquired Magnet Release and nine Magnet Release ninjutsu.]
A flood of information rushed into my mind.
Kitazawa stood there, completely stunned.
It took him several minutes to absorb and digest the information.
His first reaction was that it was a huge profit.
Having learned nine Magnet Release ninjutsu in one go, it's no exaggeration to say that he has now completely mastered Magnet Release.
Magnetism, simply put, is the control of gold or iron through magnetic force.
In the original work, there were quite a few ninjas who knew Magnet Release.
The Third and Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure and Troy of Kumogakure, among others.
In the official announcement, it was also mentioned that Gaara inherited the Magnet Release from his father, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
The Magnet Release techniques of the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage are different.
The former controls iron, the latter controls gold.
The nine Magnet Release ninjutsu techniques awarded by the system originated from the Third Kazekage.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Rain, Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall, Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wings, and Magnet Release: Iron Sand Boundary Law, etc.
The Third Kazekage is known as the strongest Kazekage.
Although his death was rather ignominious, his strength was still quite good.
After being turned into a human puppet, it played a significant role in Scorpion's hands.
In short, he is definitely a Kage-level powerhouse.
Kitazawa felt that he had now become another Third Kazekage.
In terms of strength, it has increased considerably compared to before.
In particular, Magnetism is versatile, capable of both offense and defense, and it can also fly.
Once this system task is completed, all of Kitazawa's war missions will be finished.
All things considered, it's still a good deal.
These two and a half months were not wasted.
Kitazawa walked along, pondering his next move.
The first thing was to help Tsunade complete her task of rewarding those who had contributed to the cause.
While you're at it, help her find a Jonin from the Hyuga clan.
The second thing was to go back to the ninja academy for classes.
Although the war could easily trigger missions, it is now over.
He needs Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to trigger the mission.
The third thing is Shimura Danzo.
He probably won't be able to hold back for long; given the right opportunity, he will make his move against Tsunade.
I just don't know the exact time.
Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.
Or should he and Tsunade devise a plan to lure him out?
That's something to consider.
The fourth thing is his system tasks.
He now has very few system tasks left, only seven.
Kitazawa plans to complete the task of modifying the forbidden medical technique, Body Regeneration, first.
If all goes well, we can create the medical ninjutsu that allows severed limbs to regenerate within the next two weeks.
We'll discuss promotion with Tsunade later to maximize its influence.
In this way, he can maximize his reward from the mission.
I just don't know what it is.
Kitazawa seems like he'll do pretty well.
After all, the medical ninjutsu that regenerates severed limbs has already reached its maximum potential in terms of both its uses and its impact.
The fifth and sixth things are somewhat related.
That means finding Scorpion to be a puppet and finding Green Sunflower to retrieve Thor's Sword.
Green Aoi is now a ninja in Amegakure.
Amegakure has effectively become part of the Akatsuki organization.
Kitazawa thought he could talk to Minami.
When they last met, Xiao Nan invited him to contact her if he needed anything.
Kitazawa came to the Hyuga clan.
"Kitazawa, what brings you here?"
