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

Page 760

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "This is my water cup."

"I know."

Kitazawa put down his water glass and asked with a smile, "I've done a great service, can't I even have a glass of water from you?"

That's not what I meant.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Fine, use it as you like."

She originally wanted to say that it was the water glass she had drunk from, but given her relationship with Kitazawa, this was nothing.

What were the reactions from the other ninja villages?

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and asked with some curiosity.

"There was no outward reaction."

Tsunade smiled. "Actually, I suspect it's not peaceful at all."

Hashirama Senju and his Wood Release left a psychological scar on all ninjas.

Now that Wood Release has reappeared, they naturally can't remain calm.

You need to be careful lately.

Tsunade warned, "They might take the risk of assassinating you."

"I'm not afraid of them."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "But it's hard to say about the genius class. I'll have the Anbu strengthen their protection."

"Ah."

Tsunade agreed, saying, "The genius class cannot afford to lose."

"With the three generations of elders watching over us, plus the Dark Guard, we can already mitigate most of the danger."

Kitazawa looked at her and said, "You don't need to worry too much."

"There's another interesting thing."

Tsunade suddenly laughed and said, "Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure have all followed our example and established genius classes."

"While gifted programs are very useful, the most fundamental factor is still the students themselves."

Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "They don't have that many geniuses. Even if they set up a genius class, the effect would be very limited."

"That's natural."

Tsunade exclaimed, "Sometimes I'm surprised myself. How come there are so many geniuses in this generation of Konoha?"

Because the original work is called "Naruto" and not "Five Kage".

Kitazawa smiled and said, "Maybe it's just that our Konoha Village is lucky."

This statement is true; everything in the ninja world originated from the alien Otsutsuki clan.

The more connections a ninja village has with the Otsutsuki clan, the better its luck and the more geniuses it produces.

Among the geniuses of this generation in Konoha Village are two sons of the Sage of Six Paths, or more accurately, reincarnations of chakra.

When they are in danger, the Sage of Six Paths will appear and give them a power boost, making them the strongest in the ninja world in an instant.

"Besides luck, there's no other reason."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Is there anything else? If not, you can go and rest."

"That's all, but what about my reward?"

Kitazawa's gaze fell on her red lips.

Tsunade was taken aback.

She didn't need to guess; she knew exactly what reward Kitazawa wanted.

"Do you even look like a student anymore?"

Tsunade stood up, looked at him, and asked.

"What would that student look like?"

Kitazawa blinked and asked.

Tsunade stared at him for a few seconds, then leaned in and kissed him.

Given her personality, she would never be as coy and hesitant as a young girl experiencing her first love.

Now that things have come to this, she can only accept it calmly.

Kitazawa paused for a moment before responding.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around Tsunade's waist.

Even after the heated argument ended, he didn't let go; instead, he hugged her even tighter.

Tsunade took a breath, but did not push him away.

Kitazawa felt the softness in his arms, raised his right hand, and gently stroked her hair.

"Alright, it wouldn't be good if someone saw us later. Go and rest."

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, took a half-step back, and said.

"Ah."

Kitazawa chose to stop short of making a move.

After all, Tsunade has already partially accepted it, and the rest is just a matter of time. Rushing things would be counterproductive.

Kitazawa turned and left the Hokage's office.

The next day, August 2nd.

Kitazawa arrived at the Anbu base early in the morning.

"Kitazawa".

Xiao Nan looked at him and thought of that terrifying wooden dragon again.

Good morning, Xiao Nan.

Kitazawa greeted her as usual.

He walked to his desk and began to review the intelligence reports from the past few days.

There is no doubt that the recent major events in the ninja world are all related to his Wood Release.

Although he already knew the reactions of the major ninja villages from Tsunade yesterday, the intelligence report contained even more detailed information.

Overall, however, there's nothing particularly noteworthy.

Other ninja villages cannot launch a war against Konoha just because Kitazawa has mastered Wood Release.

War is too uncertain. Unless there is a high degree of certainty or they are forced into a corner, no ninja village will launch a war casually.

After reading the intelligence, Kitazawa went to the Ninja Academy.

Xiao Nan did not follow.

This was Kitazawa's instruction; he wasn't to be secretly followed while he was at the ninja academy, except during lunch break.

Xiao Nan is actually very busy.

In addition to her work in the Anbu, she also had to remotely manage two major businesses for the Land of Rain and the Akatsuki organization: silver jewelry and rainwater.

After Kitazawa left, Konan returned to her dormitory.

As soon as she opened the door, she noticed a small note on the table.

Xiao Nan stepped forward; the small note contained only one word: North.

Of course, this "North" is not the "North" in Kitazawa, but rather a code name used by members of the Akatsuki organization.

She is Bai, and Bei is Jiaodu.

However, this note wasn't placed by Kakuzu, but by White Zetsu.

Only White Zetsu can infiltrate Konoha Village silently without being detected.

Konan's first thought was, why would Kakuzu be looking for her? Is there a problem with his business in the Land of Earth?

But even if something goes wrong, there's no need for him to personally make a trip to Konoha.

Xiao Nan put away the note and walked outside.

The Forest of Death outside Konoha Village.

In a secluded and deserted corner, Kakuzu was gazing at the nearby giant trees, a hint of nostalgia on his face.

The Forest of Death is a wonder created by Hashirama Senju.

In his youth, he had fought against this god of the ninja world.

He was sent by the higher-ups of Takigakure.

As a result of the failed assassination mission, he was severely punished by Takigakure Village.

Enraged, Kakuzu stole the Takigakure village's secret technique, Earth Grudge Fear, and became a rogue ninja.

Without a doubt, his life was changed by Hashirama Senju.

When Kakuzu heard that Wood Release had reappeared in Konoha, he rushed over without hesitation.

"Kakuzu".

Konan's cool voice rang out, "What are you doing in Konoha Village?"

"Kitazawa".

Kakuzu replied.

"The Akatsuki cannot engage in conflict with Konoha for the time being, so such actions are not permitted."

Xiao Nan frowned immediately and refused without hesitation.

Kakuzu was slightly taken aback.

He always felt that Xiao Nan had changed a bit.

But... losing to Wood Release was the biggest regret of his life.

Kakuzu thought he would never have a chance to take revenge after Hashirama Senju died, but Kitazawa suddenly appeared and became the second Wood Release ninja.

He would be unwilling to accept defeat if he didn't fight a Wood Release ninja.

But Xiao Nan's answer was indeed correct.

Akatsuki's current goal is to make money, and they have many high-quality customers in the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Most importantly, after incurring the enmity of Konoha Village, the Akatsuki organization will be targeted and exposed, making it impossible for them to make money as peacefully as before.

Does this mean I should leave the Akatsuki organization?

Once a member of the Akatsuki leaves, they will be relentlessly hunted down by the other members.

Kakuzu isn't too afraid of this, but he's afraid of not being able to make money.

The money he made from his two major businesses, silver jewelry and rainwater, exceeded what he earned in his entire life.

He would rather die than give up.

"I think you've misunderstood something."

Kakuzu suddenly realized what was happening and said, "I didn't intend to assassinate Kitazawa, but rather to have a friendly spar with him."

"...?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback.

She actually heard the word "sparring" from Kakuzu's mouth?

Kakuzu has been a member of Akatsuki for quite some time, and Konan knows him fairly well.

In summary, he's a ninja who will stop at nothing to make money.

He even killed several members of the Akatsuki organization to sell for money.

Therefore, when Konan heard that Kakuzu's goal was Kitazawa, she subconsciously thought that he wanted to kill Kitazawa to exchange for money.
