"First place, Uchiha Sasuke."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
Sasuke Uchiha ranked first because he outperformed Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga in the theoretical exam.
"pity."
Neji Hyuga felt a sense of regret.
His theoretical exam ranking was one place lower than Sasuke Uchiha's, and their scores were extremely close.
If he's lucky, he should be number one.
He has never been first in the gifted class since he joined it.
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but laugh.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would definitely be laughing hysterically.
Congratulations, Sasuke!
Sakura Haruno said with a big smile.
Yamanaka Ino and others also offered their congratulations.
This time, the first place is well-deserved.
"Second place, Hyuga Neji."
Kitazawa continued reciting.
Naruto Uzumaki's ranking in the theory exam was far too low.
Of course, it can't be said to be too low; it's still fourteenth place, but it's relatively low compared to Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem to care much.
He knew he couldn't improve his ranking in the theoretical exams, so he just needed to maintain his ranking in the practical exams.
"The rankings have been announced. Please continue with your classes."
Kitazawa left the classroom, handing it over to Umino Iruka.
Because it's Monday, the gifted class has to have a theory lesson.
He then bid farewell to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and headed to the Hokage's office.
Chapter 282 Mission Reward: The Bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan
"Your students are all incredibly talented."
After reading the mission report, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.
Even though she was very knowledgeable, this was the first time she had ever seen a seven-year-old student defeat a Jonin.
Even though the process by which Uchiha Sasuke and his team defeated Green Aoi was quite reasonable.
"They are talented and hardworking, so it's normal for them to achieve this result."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"That being said, it still sounds too incredible."
Tsunade put down the mission report and asked, "Where is the Thunder God's Sword?"
"I gave it to Sasuke."
Kitazawa replied.
"Sasuke? That works too."
Tsunade nodded and said, "With his talent, he will not fail to live up to his great-grandfather's sword."
Thor's sword is important, but not that important.
Because Tobirama Senju used the Thunder God Sword relatively infrequently.
He is famous in the ninja world for his Water Release, Flying Thunder God Technique, and Impure World Reincarnation.
The Thor's Sword involves lightning techniques, which is something he is not good at.
"Since Green Okra is dead, then inform Ibihi."
Tsunade thought for a moment and then said.
Green Aoi originally instigated Ibiki Morino's younger brother, Idate Morino, to steal the Thunder God's Sword.
"I've already had the Anbu investigate; Morino Date is currently in the Land of Tea."
Kitazawa suggested, "Let Ibiki go see him."
Unlike Midori Aoi, Morino Ita did not betray Konoha and join a new ninja village, nor did he ever become a ninja again.
The reason for sending Morino Ibiki to see him was to resolve his emotional distress.
Ibiki Morino is a special Jonin and the captain of the Konoha Torture Division.
This incident will make him even more loyal to Konoha and Tsunade.
That alone makes it worthwhile.
Moreover, it's a very simple thing to do, not troublesome at all.
"With you here, it's really worry-free."
Tsunade paused slightly, then smiled and said.
Kitazawa's decision to have the Anbu investigate Morino Ita in advance indicates that he had already planned to help Morino Itaki.
This coincided with her own plans.
Kitazawa blinked.
Actually, he hadn't thought that much about it.
In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha met Morino Ita in the Land of Tea.
Since Tsunade brought it up, he made arrangements in accordance with her wishes.
However, this misunderstanding is actually quite good; he doesn't need to explain anything further.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the ninja delegation from Kirigakure will arrive this afternoon."
Tsunade picked up the documents on the table and handed them to him, saying, "This is the list of ninjas who will go with you to welcome them. You can add more people."
"No need, these ninjas are enough."
Kitazawa glanced at it and said.
"I have already asked Shikaku to arrange accommodations for the Kirigakure ninja delegation."
Tsunade continued, "You'll have dinner with them then, and the formal negotiations will begin tomorrow."
"I won't go tomorrow; I'll leave it to Shikaku."
Kitazawa put down the documents and said with a smile, "I still have classes and to practice ninjutsu."
What kind of ninjutsu do you practice?
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked, "You haven't given up on Wood Release yet?"
"No."
Kitazawa looked at her and said, "Regarding Wood Release, I've recently discovered a problem, or rather, I've come up with a conjecture."
"What conjecture?"
Tsunade immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"Wood Release is a combination of Earth and Water chakra natures."
Kitazawa countered, "But don't you think that in the hands of the First Hokage, the power of Wood Release far surpasses that of Bloodline Limit?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade thought of Yamato's Wood Release.
Although both use Wood Release, his Wood Release is far inferior to Hashirama Senju's.
However, his Wood Release technique meets the strength of a normal bloodline limit.
"It's Yang Dun (a type of escape technique)."
Kitazawa continued, "I suspect that the First Hokage added Yang Release to his Wood Release, and that his Wood Release is a Kekkei Tota."
Bloodline limit is a combination of two chakra natures.
The Bloodline Limit is the synthesis of three chakra natures. Currently, the only known Bloodline Limit in the ninja world is Dust Release.
Dust Release is only used by Mu, the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage.
"Bloodline Elimination?"
Tsunade frowned thoughtfully and said, "That sounds somewhat reasonable."
According to this theory, it's normal that Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't master Wood Release, because he lacked a chakra nature.
"If what you're saying is true, then synthesizing Wood Release becomes even more impossible."
Tsunade sighed and said, "This is a bloodline elimination, which is several times more difficult than a bloodline limit."
"These are just my guesses, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a try."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly.
Anyway, he had already learned Wood Release, and saying these things was just to set the stage for Tsunade.
In the future, you won't be so surprised when you see him using the Wood Release technique reminiscent of Hashirama Senju.
Although his Wood Release is currently the Yamato version, with the system around, it will evolve sooner or later.
"what ever."
Tsunade didn't say anything more after hearing this.
"There's one more thing."
Kitazawa had a sudden thought and said, "I hope to add one more condition to the negotiations with Kirigakure: a piece of sea."
"The sea? What are you coming here for?"
Tsunade asked, puzzled, "Fishing? But we're ninjas, there's no need for us to do such things."
"It's not fishing, it's exploiting seabed resources."
Kitazawa recounted the functions of the newly mutated parasite belonging to Shino Aburame.
The reason for telling Tsunade was that such a big thing could not be kept from her as the Hokage.
The best way is to drag her into it and work together.
"There are actually such parasitic insects?"
Tsunade's eyes lit up, she held up one finger and said with a smile, "I am the Hokage, I want 10% of the profits."
"I can give you 10% of the profits, but I must keep the money in my custody."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade's face darkened, and she asked with displeasure, "Why should I let you keep my money? Who is the teacher here?"
"I just don't want you to lose all your money at the casino."
Kitazawa met her beautiful eyes and spoke without fear.
"How do you know I'll lose before we've even started betting?"
Tsunade stood up angrily and said, "I will definitely win!"
With her movements, her clothes rose and fell, making Kitazawa's heart pound with fear.
"What are you looking at?"
Tsunade glared at him. "Answer my question!"
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."
