"Potato chips taste better when they're salty."
Tian Tian couldn't help but interject, "Sweet potato chips, I can't even imagine."
"Your Konoha is too conservative. Why can't you have sweet things?"
Tayuya gave a soft hum and asked.
"What are you talking about?"
Kitazawa stepped forward, raised his hand, and tapped her on the forehead.
Tayuya dared not speak out in anger and could only obediently shut her mouth.
"This is Kurenai Yuhi. You can just call her Teacher Kurenai."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Besides her, Karin is also coming with us."
"Good morning, Tenten, Choji, and Tayuya."
Karin peeked out from behind Kitazawa and greeted them with a smile.
She only received the notification this morning.
I was startled at the time, but it was good to be able to go out and do missions.
After being rescued by Tsunade and Kitazawa and brought back to Konoha, she never left the village again.
"Let's go."
After Kitazawa finished his introduction, he walked towards the main gate of Konoha Village.
"Teacher Kitazawa, what is our mission?"
She followed him around every day and asked.
"Go to the Spirit Island of the Sea Kingdom."
Kitazawa casually remarked, "It's an island where many spirit beasts live."
"A summoned beast?"
Tian Tian immediately became excited and asked, "Can we sign a contract with them?"
Tayuya's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Although her three angry demons were quite strong, they were not enough in the genius class.
If another powerful summoning beast were to appear, her ranking might improve even further.
"It's possible, but they're not as powerful as you might imagine."
Kitazawa changed the subject, saying, "If you find suitable ones, you can sign contracts with them."
He remembered that there was an enormous eagle on Tongling Island.
In the original work, it was this eagle that kidnapped Might Guy, which led Yamato, Aoba Yamashiro, and Naruto Uzumaki to Shaman Island.
Chapter 320 Ultimate Summoning Beast, Uzumaki Clan
The Kingdom of the Sea is a small country compared to the Kingdom of Water.
It consists of four large islands and many smaller islands, with the Spirit Island being one of the smaller islands.
After arriving at the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire, Kitazawa and his group boarded a ship and headed to the Land of the Sea.
However, this time the ship was provided by Cadore's shipping company and was a large vessel.
Tayuya, Tenten, Karin, and Choji Akimichi were on such a large ship for the first time, and they stood on the deck looking around.
Kitazawa was chatting with Kado not far away.
More accurately, it was listening to Cardo's report on the recent situation.
Overall, it's very good.
Neither the Land of Water nor the Hidden Mist Village discovered that Gato had been taken over by the Hidden Leaf Village, so all business continued as usual.
Even the Ocean Heart Jewelry Shop in Konoha Village and Kado's shipping company are doing business under the guise of doing business.
Today, Kado's shipping company handles transportation to the Land of Water and numerous islands, and has connections with various ports.
If Kitazawa wants to take action against the Land of Water and Kirigakure in the future, this will undoubtedly provide him with many advantages and give him the upper hand.
For now, making money is all that matters; other actions are not needed for the time being.
The night was spent on the ship, and by the morning of the next day, Kitazawa and the others had successfully arrived at the Land of the Sea.
"It was really not my first time sleeping on a ship."
Kurenai yawned and said.
"It's a bit shaky."
Tian Tian agreed.
"It's not just a little, it's too shaky."
Tayuya complained, "This sea is even less fun than I imagined."
She didn't sleep well last night either, waking up several times in the middle of the night.
I feel fine.
Choji Akimichi scratched his head and said.
"That island is the Spirit Island."
Kitazawa glanced at the map, compared it with the surroundings, raised his hand, and said, "Let's go directly by sea."
"Won't the ninjas above find out?"
Kurenai Yuhi immediately asked.
She remembered Kitazawa saying that there were ninjas and researchers from the Sea Kingdom on the island.
"The ninjas are all studying the base."
Kitazawa put away the map and said, "Let's go."
He stepped onto the sea first and then headed towards the Spirit Island.
Kurenai Yuhi, Tayuya, Choji Akimichi, Karin, and Tenten followed closely behind.
Soon, they arrived on the island.
"So many plants."
Looking around every day, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
She felt they had arrived at a very primitive island, filled with all sorts of strange and tall vegetation.
"Wait!"
Kurenai suddenly looked alert and said, "The ground is shaking, as if some large summoned beast is running towards us."
Tayuya took out her bamboo flute, Tenten placed her hand on the summoning scroll, and Choji Akimichi put away his potato chips.
All three entered a state of combat readiness.
Only Karin stayed by Kitazawa's side.
She had no combat ability and didn't want it to affect their mission.
"It's a porcupine."
Kitazawa glanced at it and commented, "Although it's huge, it's not a summoned beast. Just drive it away."
"I'll do it!"
Tayuya immediately began to play the bamboo flute.
Chakra was infused into the sound, spreading outwards.
The porcupine immediately stopped, trapped in the illusion.
"Sound illusion?"
Kurenai was somewhat surprised by what she saw.
She didn't go when they were besieging Orochimaru, so she didn't know about Tayuya's situation.
"Sound illusions seem perfect for sneak attacks."
Tenten then realized that sparring one-on-one on the playground limited Tayuya's ability to use her sound illusion technique.
After all, one would instinctively be on guard if they saw her bamboo flute face to face, but it would be difficult to be on guard in the wild, thus falling under the illusion.
Tayuya smiled smugly upon hearing this, and even glanced at Kitazawa.
"I'll give you an extra point."
Kitazawa didn't mind her childish behavior and said.
Tayuya paused for a moment, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, but she immediately stopped herself.
It's only one point, nothing to be too happy about.
She wants to get into the top five in the practical exam through this mission, which will definitely surprise Kitazawa.
"Be careful of summoned beasts that may appear at any time."
Kitazawa offered a reminder and continued walking forward.
As the group walked through the primeval forest, a strangely shaped spirit beast would occasionally appear.
However, these summoned beasts were all of average strength, and neither Tayuya nor Tenten looked down on them.
"We've arrived. Wait for me here."
Kitazawa could see a research base built against the mountain in the distance.
"Aren't we going in with them?"
Kurenai asked upon hearing this.
"The situation inside is unclear; I'll go in and take a look first."
Kitazawa's idea was actually very simple.
If they release that ultimate summoning beast and let Tayuya and Tenten beat it up, then they've completed their mission.
His mission was to find a member of the Vortex Clan.
"Be careful."
Kurenai nodded and said nothing more.
Kitazawa arrived near the research base without making a sound.
There were two ninjas at the entrance.
Judging from his attire, he is a wandering ninja who does not belong to any particular ninja village.
Kitazawa thought for a moment, then instantly appeared in front of them using a teleportation technique.
"Varied……"
The two ninjas were knocked unconscious before they could even speak.
Kitazawa walked into the research base openly and honestly.
He stood in the aisle and immediately rolled his eyes.
The entire research base came into view, with a total of thirty-six people, including ninjas and researchers.
Kitazawa quickly locked onto Honoka Uzumaki.
There's no way around it; the Uzumaki clan's characteristics are just too obvious—red hair and massive chakra, as conspicuous as the sun.
Kitazawa walked towards the room where she was.
When he reached the door, he raised his hand and knocked.
"Please come in."
