Goodnight, Kitazawa-sensei.
Hinata Hyuga looked at him and said.
Kitazawa closed the door and walked towards the roof.
"Kitazawa".
Xiao Nan heard footsteps, stood up, and greeted him.
"Are you planning to return to the Akatsuki tonight?"
Bei Ze cut to the chase and asked the question.
"Ah."
Xiao Nan nodded and said.
"That's fine."
Seeing this, Kitazawa didn't say anything more.
Xiao Nan took a step back, and countless pieces of paper appeared out of thin air, transforming into a pair of white wings behind her.
She leaped into the air, spread her wings, and flew towards the Akatsuki organization.
"Being able to fly is really great."
Kitazawa couldn't help but sigh.
Night was falling.
Kurama Yakumo, Hyuga Neji, and the others stopped training and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, after waking up and having breakfast, we continued our journey.
As before, we were delayed on the road for almost three days.
They set off last Friday and returned to Konoha Village on Sunday of the new week.
The round trip took six days, plus three days to wait in Craftsman's Village for the bow to be reforged, making a total of nine days.
[Current Mission: Secretly take control of Takumi Village and become its master.]
[Quest Reward: Spirit Summoning Technique - Triple Rashomon]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
While on the way, Kitazawa also completed a system task.
Of course, to be more precise, it was Itachi Uchiha who helped him complete it.
Kitazawa understood why Orochimaru and Hashirama Senju had different levels of summoning techniques after mastering the Triple Rashomon.
The reason lies in the difference in chakra.
Rashomon consumes a great deal of chakra; even a top-tier Jonin or Kage can only reach the third level at most.
Only someone with the chakra reserves of Hashirama Senju could summon a Rashomon with five layers of power.
Of course, the greater the chakra consumption, the more powerful the Rashomon defense becomes.
In the original work, the Summoning Technique: Fivefold Rashomon can even alter the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball of the Nine-Tails in its Susanoo form.
Moreover, this Armored Susanoo comes from Uchiha Madara.
Kitazawa is currently unable to use the Summoning Technique: Fivefold Rashomon, but the Summoning Technique: Threefold Rashomon is sufficient.
In addition, he automatically mastered the art of spirit communication: the first level of Rashomon and the second level of Rashomon.
Theoretically speaking, if he had enough chakra, he could directly use the Summoning Technique: Fivefold Rashomon.
"You should go back and rest."
Kitazawa waved his hand and said, "The rankings for this monthly exam will be announced tomorrow morning."
It goes without saying that the other five student teams have already completed their mission and returned to Konoha Village.
Their team was undoubtedly the last to arrive.
After watching Hyuga Neji and the others leave, Kitazawa turned around and went to the Hokage Building.
He's been delayed for so long this time, and with the conflict with Takumi Village, he should tell Tsunade.
The Hokage's office.
Just as Kitazawa was about to knock on the door, Haru, an ANBU ninja, blocked his way.
"Lord Kitazawa."
Qing hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Inside is the Hokage's clone."
"A clone?"
Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh, "It seems she knows her shadow clones won't help her with her work."
Shadow clones possess independent consciousness.
Generally speaking, if the main body doesn't want to do something, the shadow clone will too.
"The Hokage left an hour ago."
Qing continued, "She didn't tell me where she went."
Where else could we go? Definitely a casino.
Kitazawa turned and left the Hokage Building, heading towards the Konoha Casino.
Konoha Casino has been extremely popular since it opened.
The reason lies in the novel gameplay and excellent service.
Other casinos in Konoha Village tried to imitate them, but they were always one step behind and their business declined significantly.
After entering the Konoha Casino, Kitazawa went to the second floor.
He glanced around and spotted Tsunade.
This time, she didn't gamble at the casino table, but played the slot machine.
Kitazawa stepped forward.
Tsunade was so engrossed in her game that she didn't even notice he had already moved behind her.
Kitazawa reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
"Who?"
Tsunade was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Kitazawa.
"Your reaction is like you've done something wrong."
Bei Ze blinked and said, "If I had known, I would have told Senior Sister Jingyin to come along."
"you dare?"
Tsunade glared at him and asked in a threatening tone.
Don't you want money?
Kitazawa bent down, got close to her, and asked with a smile.
"That money was originally mine."
Tsunade subconsciously looked away from the slot machine and emphasized.
"I think I'm very lucky today."
Kitazawa reached out and took her hand, saying, "Don't move, I'll help you throw."
Tsunade felt a slight tremor in her heart; the warmth emanating from her right hand made her feel somewhat uncomfortable and strange.
Just then, the slot machine jolted, and the symbol on it changed to three sevens.
A large number of coins rolled out.
"How about it? Aren't I lucky?"
Kitazawa turned to look at her and asked.
Tsunade suddenly remembered that she and Kitazawa had played slot machines a long time ago.
More accurately, it was a bet: if Kitazawa won, she would do him a favor, and that favor was to save Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto.
"So-so."
Tsunade stubbornly insisted.
"Then you play?"
Kitazawa looked at her and asked.
"Don't rush into gambling. When did you get back?"
Tsunade's lips twitched, and she asked.
"Just got back."
Kitazawa sat down next to her, but didn't let go of her hand; instead, he casually started playing with it.
Her hands were very smooth, and felt soft and tender to the touch.
Kitazawa couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Yin Seal.
No matter how old they are, they will always maintain their peak condition.
Kitazawa suddenly thought of himself.
He learned the Yin Seal at the age of twenty-one; in other words, he could maintain his physical appearance at the age of twenty-one until his death.
This is simply...brilliant!
What do you want from me?
Tsunade let him knead her hands, and asked with a normal expression.
"I just wanted to give you a briefing on the progress of this mission."
Kitazawa recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.
"You've taken control of Takumi Village?"
Tsunade sensed something was amiss.
The fact that Takumi Village cut corners when crafting ninja tools for Konoha Village, and Kitazawa's reprimand of them, was indeed justified and well-founded, leaving no room for criticism.
However, controlling the Hidden Craftsman Village seemed somewhat inappropriate to her.
After all, it doesn't align with Konoha's long-standing style.
"I made this decision for strategic purposes."
Kitazawa explained, "By controlling Takumi Village, we can ensure that Konoha Village's supply of ninja tools will not be disrupted."
"But what about the other ninja villages?"
After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "If the other ninja villages find out, they definitely won't let us have our way."
"Don't worry, Konoha Village will not interfere with Takumi Village."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "I only had Itachi give the Four Symbols Celestials a genjutsu hint."
"The Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, it certainly won't be easily discovered by other ninja villages."
"I thought you would be upset that I acted on my own."
Kitazawa chuckled and said.
“You are also thinking of Konoha’s interests, and it was Takumi Village that was in the wrong first.”
Tsunade paused for a moment, then reminded her, "Just don't be like Shimura Danzo."
Although she suspected that Kitazawa had deliberately used the Box of Paradise to fish, Konoha Village was in the right no matter what.
Of course, she was biased; having gone to such lengths, she couldn't possibly blame Kitazawa for it.
"I am not a person like Danzo Shimura."
